At this moment, Janice was absolutely furious with Amanda. She had found out from a colleague in the Human Resources Department whom she had a decent relationship that there was a rumor she had been abusing her power and instructing people from the Sanitation Office without authorization.The only time she could think of such a thing happening was the incident with Serenity delivering the files, but Amanda had been the mastermind behind it, not her!"It's not like I forced you to do it. You also wanted to embarrass Serenity, so you did it willingly, right? I simply gave you a suggestion. You did that on your own, and it had nothing to do with me," Amanda replied, immediately washing her hands off the matter.The two of them started bickering like dogs and snapping at each other!After Janice and Amanda's falling out, Janice's family scolded her severely, but they still tried to spend money and use their connections to find someone to intervene on her behalf. Unfortunately, the mo

Maybe he was overthinking it!Seeing that Serenity was busy with work, Peter shrugged it off and said, "I'll stop bothering you, then. See you later.”After Peter left, Jack held Serenity’s chin with his fingers and turned her face to him. "I don't like you looking at other men like that."Serenity laughed. "You're thinking too much. I don't have any feelings for him.""Does he have any feelings for you?" he asked.She did not know what to say."He's that co-worker who has a crush on you, isn’t he?" he asked."Yeah. I already asked Xyla to tell him no. I didn't think he would come look for me.""He's not good enough for you. If you don't like him, you should have rejected him more directly," said Jack.Serenity laughed. "You think too highly of me. I'm the one who's not good enough for him. He has a house, a car, and a stable job. A lot of women in the Sanitation Office are interested in him.""My sister deserves better," said Jack. His voice contained a possessiveness that e

She smiled. She thought he was just joking. It was an ad to celebrate the marriage between the Shaw family and the Hall family. Who would dare to take it down? Her vision was dark. She could feel the warmth of his hands that were pressing against her skin.After a moment, she pulled down his hands, looked up at him and said, "Jack, thank you." She thought he had said that to comfort her. "Let's go. I'm hungry." She took his hand and walked away towards home.Jack's eyes stole one last glance at the large advertisement before he followed after her.When they reached the rental house, Serenity went to the security booth to pick up a delivery. It was a sweater she bought.She opened the packaging, took out the sweater and touched it to inspect the texture. It was okay; worth the price at least."Jack, try this sweater on and see if it fits," she said.It was a blue and green checkered sweater. After Jackson put it on, Serenity's eyes brightened. Wow, he looked good in it.She su

"I believe there are 99 of them," answered Connor. He recalled a news interview in which Zeke Shaw said that there were a total of 99 ads to represent 99 lifetimes of love.This was something often repeated by Jenny Hall's fans. Jenny Hall was a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry with lots of fans."Take them all down," said Jackson."All of them?" Connor was shocked."All of them," Jackson confirmed."Okay, I'm on it," answered Connor. Mr. Valor wanted to take down the Shaw family's advertisements? Did the Shaw family or the Hall family offend Mr. Valor? Or did Mr. Valor disapprove of the marriage between the two families? But didn't he accept their invitation to the engagement party?Connor was puzzled. Suddenly, with a jolt, a certain possibility occurred to him.Maybe Mr. Valor wanted to take down the advertisements because of... Serenity Lewis? Connor was surprised by his own thought.Would Mr. Valor actually do something like this for a woman? He would offend

Jenny also frowned. She turned to Zeke. After all, the advertisement was placed by the Shaw family.Zeke said, "I'll go find out what the situation is..."Before he could even finish speaking, his phone rang. Zeke picked up the call and his expression instantly turned ugly. "What? Taken down? All of them? That's a breach of contract!""They said they'll take down the advertisement even if they have to pay the full penalty,” the manager in charge of this matter said anxiously on the phone. "We immediately contacted other companies but none of them are willing to do this advertisement."In other words, besides the companies owned by the Halls and the Shaws, no other building would provide a surface for the advertisement."Who the hell is trying to mess with the Shaws?" Zeke asked angrily."It's the Valors," the manager replied. "This matter was personally overseen by Connor Gunn, the Shaw Group's secretary."Zeke was shocked. Connor Gunn... That's Jackson Valor's personal secretar
