Chapter 525


    Chapter 525


    “Let me hug you for a while,” Jackson murmured tenderly. “The driver will be here soon.


    He then nced at the woman in his arms before turning around to take a glimpse at Lucas, who was


    standing not far away, watching them.


    The two men’s eyes met.


    Momentster, a ck car slowly drove up toward Jackson and Serenity. Jackson turned his gaze


    away and led Serenity into the car. Serenity turned around and climbed into the car, unaware that


    Lucas and Aria had been standing not too far away from them all along


    Aria pursed her red lips silently until the ck car disappeared on the h ao rizon. Only then did she


    raise her head and said, “Lu……


    Η


    But just as she opened her mouth, the rest of her words never escaped her throat as she noticed the


    expression of the man in front of her. Luc as ‘s face, which had always been strikingly handsome,


    which had always looked cold and distant, now seemed to be in a violent struggle, almost as if Locas


    was trying his hardest to restrain his feelings, so much so that his elegant face


    was now distorted…

    Lucas obviously looked like a man who was trying his utter best to suppress his jealousy!


    When Serenity returned to the Valor Residence, Jackson quickly checked her whole body once more to


    make sure that she was not injured anywhere. Only then was he finally assured


    “You should go and rest now,” he said. “You’re going to work tomorrow, aren’t you?”


    “Okay,” Serenity nodded. The restaurant would resume its business again tomorrow, and she would


    have to wake up early.” What about you?”


    “I’ve got some work to do,” he told her. “I’ll go to bedter when I’m done.”


    And so, Serenity took a shower and went straight to bed. Meanwhile, Jackson went to his study and


    gave his secretary, Connor Gunn, a call.


    “Get me all the information you can get on the Wayne family that owns Wayne Convenience Store,” he


    ordered.


    “The Wayne family? Connor asked, wondering how this family had offended his boss.


    As for Julia Wayne, the moment she got home, she told her family all about what just happened.


    Unsurprisingly, her parents were both in total shock while her older brother flew into a rage, yelling at


    her for being such a dimwitted m oron and scolding her for being so st upid as to offend Jackson Valor


    out of all people.


    They were even more enraged when they found out that she had done all of that for the sake of Zandra


    Lane, but in the end, Zandra hadpletely distanced herself from julia and washed her hands off the


    whole thing.


    The Wayne family had been in turmoiltely because of tax problems, and they were reluctant to attend


    the function because they were afraid that the reporters would be there and they would surely be


    hounded by them. That was why they had let Julia attend it alone-because she had little to nothing to


    do with the family business, and she might even be able to persuade her friends, Zandra and Yuna, to


    help the family as well. But who would have thought that things would end up in such a mess?!


    “But I did all of that to help our family!” Julia argued. “At worst, we’ll just have to go meet Serenity Lewis


    and apologize to her.”


    She had a hunch that if she was able to meet Serenity and own up to her mistake in person, this whole


    matter might end, and everything would turn out fine.


    Mr. and Mrs. Wayne sighed and said, “I guess that’s what we’ll have to do. We should prepare some


    expensive gifts and bring them along as well.”


    But when the Waynes got to the Valor Residence the next day, they were refused outright at the


    entrance. They were not even


    Chapter 525


    allowed to step


    step into the residence at all. It was the Valors’ butler who came out and told them with a deadpan face,


    “Mr. Valor is too busy to see you all.”


    “But we’re only here to offer these gifts as a token of our sincere apology, Mr. Wayne exined. “It was


    all due to my daughter’s recklessness that Miss Lewis was offended.”


    Mr. Wayne thought of how he was usually the one wi


    who b


    bossed everyone around and how he had never talked to any butler in such a humble tone before, but


    it was different this time, of course, since this was no ordinary butler, but the Valors’ butler.


    “Mr. Valor said that instead of wasting your time here, you should all go back and try to set your own


    affairs straight.”


    After finishing that sentence, the butler then turned around and went back inside the mansion after


    locking up the iron gate.
