Chapter 523

“Zeke,” said Jenny, “it’s getting too stuffy in here. Come with me to the back garden. I need some fresh

air.”

“Okay.” Zeke turned to his fiancee beside him with a conflicted look in his eyes.

“Why didn’t you want me to speak back then?” he asked her in a voice so soft that only the two of them

could hear it. “Did you expect this to happen?”

“Yeah,” Jenny replied with a faint smile. “Since someone is so eager to jump in front of the bullet,

there’s no point for us to stop her. Besides, now, another family apart from ours has offended Jackson

Valor. In fact, she seems to have offended him much worse than we did.”

Zeke stared at the smile on his fiancee’s lips, and feelings of loss and gloominess arose in his heart.

He felt as if he had truly lost something that he would never be able to get back. And now, all he could

do was to be tied up forever with this woman in front of him–all for the benefit of their two families!

Not far away from them, there was another man who had been watching the commotion with a cold

gaze.

Lucas Gomez looked on with his key gaze at the three women pointing fingers at each other, pushing

the blame onto one another. Then, he raised his head and emptied the red wine in his glass in one

gulp.

Just now, when he saw that those three women were trying to turn Serenity into a laughingstock amidst

the crowd, he had the urge to step up and stop them, but just as he was about to step forward, Jackson

had already appeared and was heading straight toward Serenity.

It was then that he realized what a pointless and meaningless thing he was about to do. Serenity

already had Jackson to protect her. There was simply no need for him to worry about her at all.

As for those who were mocking her and laughing at her, naturally, Jackson would also be settling his

scores with them too.

Besides, had he not already made up his mind not to get into a fight with Jackson just for that woman?

Lucas lowered his eyes, and a smile cropped up on his lips–a smile of self–mockery.

Arla, who was standing beside him, softly murmured, “Lucas…”

She felt as if he was getting further and further away from her. Or to be more precise, she realized that

in truth, she had never gotten anywhere close to him at all.

“Let’s go!” Lucas muttered in a flat voice. “This party is too boring.”

He then strode out of the function hall toward the exit.

“Aria cried in shock before hastily following behind Lucas.

Jackson had now carried Serenity out of the function hall, so she told him, “You can put me down now.

I can walk”

“Are you sure?” he asked, looking down at her.

“Yeah,” she bit her lips, feeling that they had attracted too much attention when Jackson carried her in

his arms like this.

“Okay, then.”

He put her down as she requested, then picked up his phone and called his driver, who had been

waiting at the parking lot, to come pick them up here.

At the moment, the area outside the function hall was nothing like the loud and lively atmosphere

inside. Instead, it was all quiet and peaceful.

“I shouldn’t have left you alone back there,” he murmured softly. “It’s my fault you were caught in that

situation.

“It’s totally fine,” Serenity smiled. “After all, there are some things that can’t be changed, no matter

what. If no one brought up the fact that I’d been in prison before today, someone else would eventually

do so someday.”

And as long as she stayed beside Jackson, someone would try to dig up her past and expose her. She

only had to face those three women today, but she knew that she would have to face countless others

In the future.
