Chapter 176


    Chapter 176


    The ambiguous way in which Jackson treated Serenity shocked the restaurant’s manager and Mr.


    Crouch


    It was said that Jackson had no interest In women. Even when he was with his former fiancée, the two


    always maintained a respectful distance.


    When had anyone ever seen him being so close to a woman, especially in such a public setting, and


    even demanding justice for her?


    Amanda knelt and trembled as she apologized, “Serenity. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have spoken to


    you that way. I-I won’t do it again. Please forgive me!!


    Serenity looked at Amanda without a shred of sympathy. After all, Amanda had never shown any


    sympathy toward her. She wasn’t a saint who would sympathize with someone who only knew how to


    ridicule and mock her.


    However, she didn’t appreciate this kind of gesture either. She felt no satisfaction whatsoever even as


    Amanda knelt before


    her.


    “Sis, do you think you should forgive her?” Jackson whispered as if he was offering her a chance to


    decide.

    “It’s up to you,” Serenity replied, lowering her eyes. “I’m hungry. I want to eat.”


    “Right, let’s go,” Jackson said as he reached for Serenity’s hand again before signaling the manager to


    lead the way.


    The manager quickly guided them while Amanda remained kneeling in ce, her mind still reeling from


    what had just happened


    Did Jackson just… call Serenity ‘Sis’?!


    What did that mean? When had Serenity be Jackson’s sister? But the way Jackson treated


    Serenity just now didn’t seem like a sibling rtionship at all.


    It seemed more like.. lovers!


    As soon as Jackson left, Mr. Crouch angrily approached Amanda and said, “If you want to bring about


    your own downfall, don’t drag me into it! Remember, it’s not that I won’t help your family, but you have


    offended Jackson, and I can’t help


    that.”

    After speaking, Mr. Crouch walked straight toward the restaurant’s entrance. Amanda suddenly


    snapped out of her daze and quickly stood up to hurriedly catch up with the man


    “I-I didn’t know that woman had a connection with Jackson. S-she deliberately wanted to harm me! She


    intentionally wanted to use Jackson against me.”


    “No matter if it was intentional or not, Jackson is now backing her up.”


    “But didn’t Jackson let me off? Just now, he didn’t do anything further,” Amanda said anxiously.


    Mr. Crouch looked at Amanda with a gaze that clearly showed he thought of her as an idiot. He used to


    think this woman had some cunning, but now, it was clear that she was incredibly foolish.


    Did humans care when they stepped on ants? How stupid was this woman?!


    Without sparing her another nce, Mr. Crouch got into his car and drove away. Before leaving, he left


    her with a final remark, telling her not toe looking for him again.


    Amanda’s face twisted into an ugly expression.


    How could this happen?! She had worked so hard to curry favor with Mr. Crouch! She had even


    endured many losses, only to end up with nothing!


    It was all because of Serenity! If she hadn’t known Jackson…


    Suddenly, Amanda jolted as if she had realized something.


    2/2


    Could it be…?


    Her car being vandalized and her family’spany facing trouble, were they all happening because of


    Serenity? Because she had mocked and schemed against Serenity, that’s why.. things had turned out


    like this?!


    Before, her family had discussed who they might have offended, but now, Amanda seemed to have an


    answer.


    It was Jackson Valor!
