Chapter 1202

The mention of Lucas reminded Serenity of what had happened in the hospital. By the time Serenity had admitted that she was the little girl who had saved her life, Lucas no longer believed in her. Only because she had denied it so many times, and it was all because of Jackson! Everything had come full circle, almost like an irony. Taking a deep breath, Serenity stated clearly, "Jackson, my relationship with Lucas is none of your business. I didn't come here to look for you. I thought we had made things clear already." Jackson gripped her chin in his large hands, forcing her eyes to meet his. "Ah!" Serenity cried out, her jaw hurting. Jackson's eyes grew colder, his face suddenly close to hers. So close that the tips of their noses almost bumped against each other, so close that she could count his eyelashes. "Serenity..." His hoarse voice rang in her ear, "Do you ever regret it? For begging me to leave?" Serenity froze, her body stiffening. Regret it? If she had not acted the way she did, they might have gotten back together again. Serenity remembered the time Jackson had knelt at her feet, vowing to trust her, love her, and give her everything. She had almost wavered, but even if they had gotten back together, it would not have solved their problem. Serenity and Jackson were worlds apart. They were like two different horizons, two parallel lines that should have never met. Their separation was just putting things back to the way it was. Serenity heard her own voice reply, "I have no regrets." In the next moment, Jackson oozed danger, a menacing air that emanated from his soul, making her shiver. "Since you have no regrets, don't appear out of the blue again. I'll show no mercy the next time!" Serenity heard the cold voice ringing in her ears, her chin aching in his tight hold. *** Serenity went home feeling completely exhausted, everything weighing her down. So much had happened in one day. First was Peter's case, then things with Lynette, Lucas, and… Jackson. She had no idea how to deal with them. Serenity had vomited more times than she could count at the entrance of Valor Group. Her empty stomach clenched, but she had no appetite to eat. After giving it some thought, Serenity made some light food and barely ate. While eating, she pulled out her phone and read the news. Knowing that Lisa had been living with Terry lately, Serenity would pay attention to the latest happening in the White family's city. While browsing the latest news, she came across a shocking headline claiming that the White family head was missing—Terry's whereabouts had become a mystery, and contracts worth millions would be canceled. 'Missing? Terry is missing?! Is this fake news or what?!' Serenity pulled up the source of the news. It had come from a major media outlet, but it was not viral. The comments below the post were a variety of responses from netizens.
