The two ladies got in first and took the back seat, and the two men got into the car later with Terry in the driver's seat and Jackson in the passenger seat.As the car glided onto the road, Lisa suddenly had a funny thought. Her tiny car suddenly seemed more majestic with the presence of the Valor Group and White Maple Group CEOs. People would be surprised to know about this.The two men were silent on the way back. Meanwhile, the two ladies in the back were chattering. Lisa did most of the talking while Serenity listened."By the way, there's a popular TV show lately. Have you watched King's Lover yet?" Lisa asked.Serenity shook her head. Work had occupied most of her time lately. She worked during the day and came home at night. By the time she was home, she usually browsed the web before going to bed."It's pretty good. The plot... Ah, I can't spoil it. I'll give you the website later. Oh, the lead actor is the same Finn Gorden you loved back then," Lisa mentioned. She had re

"What do you mean by that? Illegal money?! My work and money are legitimate!" York denied it, a tinge of guilt in his eyes.The mediator changed the topic and asked casually, "By the way, I went to your parent's house yesterday and talked to them. Your parents have a heavy Solarian accent. Are they Solarian?" "Yeah. My parents used to live there.""Are you from Solaria too? Why did you settle in San Marco? Solaria is much better than San Maroc," the mediator chatted as if making small talk."There's too much pressure in a big city. It's smaller here, but life is comfortable.""Right." The mediator smiled and added abruptly, "I almost forgot to mention. The guy you hurt wanted me to ask you about Ms. Hall. He wants you to do as he says and pay up, otherwise, he'll tell the public and expose you.""Ms. Hall..." York's face paled slightly, but he tried to hide his panic. "I don't quite understand what you mean by exposing me, but I was a witness in a case some years ago. The deceas

"Alright, let's eat," Jackson urged.The four of them had lunch together, and while eating the shrimp, Serenity felt a little shy when Jackson offered to peel them for her. Her best friend, Lisa, and Terry were both staring. Lisa even winked at her, making Serenity flush with embarrassment. Jackson, on the other hand, seemed relaxed. He did not care about the stares.When they finished the meal, Jackson reminded Serenity, "Don't forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after the meal.""Okay." Serenity responded."Are you sick?" Lisa was shocked and asked with concern."No, not really. It's some kind of medicine for joint pain," Serenity explained.Lisa was surprised. Lisa knew that her friend had health issues after spending three years in prison. Serenity suffered from rheumatism and pain, particularly in cold and cloudy weather. Lisa had previously tried to get Serenity to go to the hospital and get it checked, but Serenity would always give her the same excuse. She underst

Terry noticed Lisa's sparkling eyes, and for some reason, he felt annoyed again.When they returned to Solaria, they headed to the Valor Residence first. Terry moved to the driver's seat once Jackson and Serenity had left the car."Serenity! I'll see you next time," Lisa waved goodbye to Serenity."Okay," Serenity responded. "Thanks for today and take care!" After that, she walked through the gates of the Valor Residence with Jackson.Lisa's eyes remained glued on Jackson and Serenity. Soon, Terry's impatient voice rang in her ear. "Are you done yet?""I'm just staring. What's wrong?" Lisa grumbled. Lisa did not think of Jackson as a homeless guy when she had first met Jackson in Serenity's rented place. Who would have thought? Jackson actually turned out to be an all-powerful bigshot in Solaria!While Lisa was lost in her thoughts, Terry cupped her cheeks and turned her head to look at him. "What? You said you loved my face two days ago. Why are you looking at Jackson now? Are y

"I wanted to know how bitter it is," Jackson explained, examining the taste of the bitter liquid medicine in his mouth. "It's so bitter."Serenity felt speechless. Who in the world would take the medicine itself to find out how bitter it was?! Not to mention, the medicine was meant for women's health.Such a small amount of residue would not cause a bad tummy, but... Jackson seemed a little too reckless."Why don't you have a candy too? It'll help with the bitterness," Serenity spoke with a piece of candy still in her mouth."Okay," Jackson hummed. Instead of taking the candy from the tray, he leaned toward her and put one hand against the back of her head, his handsome face close to hers."Jack..." As her lips parted, his kiss landed on her lips. Jackson captured her mouth in an intense kiss, stealing bittersweet tastes from her lips, leaving Serenity breathless. Serenity could barely tell what flavor remained in her mouth when the kiss ended, and she looked at him with flushed
