    1/1


    Serenity learned of the Wayne family’s tax evasion scandal from the news even though there were


    already reports in the past about the same issue. Given their financial capacity, it remained unclear


    whether they could recover from this incident.


    The Waynes had their own connections throughout the city. If they were willing to help and if Jackson


    refrained from pursuing the matter, there was still a chance that they could salvage their business.


    Whenever she asked Jackson about them, he would respond without hesitation, “Julia mistreated you,


    so they deserved this.”


    “But that’s her problem, her family has nothing to…”


    “Their business was already gued with issues in the first ce. What I did was merely highlight their


    ws in advance. What’s more, the businessmen in this city are no fools. They were all waiting for an


    opportunity just like this to gain more market share in convenience stores across Shermal,” exined


    Jackson


    Serenity more or less understood what he was saying.


    She knew that Jackson didn’tsh out at the Waynes just because Julia bad singled her out. Still, it


    also reminded the business- owningmunity in Shermal not to cross Serenity.


    Those who dared to bully her would be met with the same fate as the Waynes.


    “It feels like I’m holding you back all the time, like you keep having to protect me,”ined Serenity


    while biting her lip.. The same thing had happened with the Hallsst time.


    “If I don’t protect you, who else would protect? Also, I don’t feel held back by you at all,” replied


    Jackson. He raised his hand and gently stroked her lips. “Stop biting your lips all the time. To be able to


    protect you, that’s all I ever wished for.”


    He was d that she had epted his protection in the first ce. His worst fear was the day when


    this stopped being the case. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “I’d like to be your protector for the rest of my life, is that okay?” Jackson was slightly bent over as he


    stared straight into her eyes. His voice sounded deep. Like the night breeze, it was cold but carried a


    lingering sense of desire.


    It left Serenity in a dazed state. At the moment, he seemed to have ced himself in an inferior


    position, praying for her approval.


    She should have been the one to thank him, but their positions were switched for some reason. How


    could she not love a man


    like that?


    “Alright,” answered Serenity while blushing. A burning desire rose in her heart. She wondered if there


    woulde a day when she had to protect him.


    Rather than being in a superior position, she imagined them standing side-by-side against the odds


    and protecting each


    other.


    His lips gently pressed against hers, and his seductive voice whispered into her car, “Serenity_”


    The only thing she could see was his dazzling eyes.


    They spent the night together.


    The next morning, Jackson asked if she could take the day off, but Serenity turned him down hastily.


    “If you’re worried that the shop will be understaffed if you’re not there, I can send someone to work in


    your stead,” he
