Chapter 57

Serenity raised her head ever so slightly to glance rideways. She then breathed a sigh of relief and

looked up at Jackson, asking. “Have you paid the hill?

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go, then,” she said, grabbing her handbag. Then, as if trying to escape something, she hurried

out of the restaurant.

“What’s going on?” Jackson asked. “Are you hiding from someone?

She paused her steps. A peculiar look flushed across her face, and she said, “My former colleagues

were in that restaurant,

I didn’t want them to see me

As she spoke, she chackled, almost as if marlding herself, and she added, “Isn’t it ridiculous? They all

know what has happened to me, and they must’ve guessed how far I’ve fallen now, yet I still can’t face

them and want to hide from them.”

She did not want to see the pity in their eyes. She did not want to see them feeling sorry for her.

and

Back then, she had fought tooth and nail to build herself a successful career as a lawyer, yet now, while

all her colleagues were still in the profession, that path was closed off to her forever.

The derision she felt for herself at that mament suddenly made him feel deeply sorry for her.

“Then just avold them this time,” he said softly, holding her hand tight. “One day, you’ll shine even

brighter than them, Sis.”

Shine.. she smiled butterly. At present, she no longer dared to dream of a bright future because she

had to fight with all her might just to survive from day to day.

“I heard Jenny say you tried to get that woman. Serenity Lewis, a job the other day. I’m warning you,

don’t ever get Involved with that woman again! She was the one who killed Jenny’s sister, Jackson

Valor’s fiancee! Our family simply can’t afford to offend Jackson Valor!”

Zeke’s father’s stern voice rang in his ear through the phone. Zeke frowned slightly and simply replied,

“I know, Dad.”

“Don’t ever offend Jackson Valor,” was a sentence that he had heard too many times before. Back

then, everyone had blamed him for choosing a woman like Serenity to be his girlfriend. Fortunately,

after breaking up with her, he had started dating Jenny Hall, whom his family very much approved of

The Shaw family and the Hall family were equals, so they were a good match. They had almost gotten

married then, and the two families had nearly become in–laws. Although the marriage had not come to

pass, the two families still got along weİİ

The Shaw family hoped that if things turned really bad for them, the Hall family might be able to save

them by persuading Jackson Valor to go easy on them.

After the call ended, Zeke stared ahead at the red light in front of him and slowly stepped on the

brakes. The image of Serenity crossed his mind, and he could not deny that she was no longer the

same woman she used to be all those years ago. Although she might still look exactly the same, the

aura she now exuded was completely different. Not to mention that the sanitation worker uniform she

had been wearing convinced him that he made the absolutely correct choice in breaking up with her

back then.

He now knew that Jenny was his suitable match. As for Serenity, she now belonged in the past, a past

that might forever be a stain on him should anyone mention it to him in the future. He felt slightly guilty

when he saw how she had ended up now, of course. After all, when she had asked him to collect the

evidence for her back then, he not only refused her but even broke up with her right then and there.

Still, it was ultimately her own fault that she had killed Mira Hall! That one tragle mistake meant that she

had not only offended the Hall family but the powerful Valor family as well. How could be ever help her

then?!

As these thoughts went through his mind, a slender figure at the intersection that he saw through the

windshield caught his

eye.

That was. Serenity!

Zeke was taken alsack, but what shocked him more was the discovery that there was a man by

man’s side. They were

saying something to each other, and then Serenity slowly raised her head toward the man while the

man leaned gently down toward her, their faces inching toward each oflier.

It clearly looked like they were going in for a kiss!

Anger bubbled up inside him. He did not expect Serenity to find a new man so soon after being

released from prison. He really should not have wasted his time trying to help her!
