    Chapter 657


    Some guests saw Serenitying in and eximed immediately, “Oh, look who’s here! I used to think


    that Serenity was the most sessful in the Walker family. Who would’ve known? She has now ended


    up being the worst. Lte has turned out to be the most sessful in the family.”


    The guest was belittling Serenity to tter Lte, which was what Lte would have loved to hear


    before. Everyone had alwayspared Lte and Serenity to each other. They were close in age


    and looked so much alike when they were young.


    Serenity had been one of the brightest kids at school. She was good at her studies and had gone to a


    prestigious university. Lte, who was less educated, was naturally ashamed by theparison.


    Lte was eager to be better than Serenity, but that was before knowing that Serenity was dating


    Jackson Valor.


    After realizing Jackson’s true identity, the rtive’s nastyment made Lte embarrassed.


    Lte’s rtive did not think it was enough and went on and on. “Serenity might have been the one


    who caused your grandmother’s illness. How can you not be angry with an ex–convict in the family?


    Luckily, you’re lucky enough to have saved Mr. Gomez as a kid. He’s been looking for you for so many


    years. I’m sure you’ll have a good life after this.”


    Lte’s face changed. She gave Serenity a sidelong nce, fearful that her rtive’s words would


    remind her of something. Instead, her gaze met Jackson’s His dark deep eyes stared at her as I


    mocking her.

    Lte panicked a little. It was like he knew she was just an Imposter.


    “Enough! Stop it!” Lte cut in, stopping the rtive from speaking further. “Serenity has nothing to do


    with Granny’s illness. Granny’s funeral isn’t even over yet. It’s too much for you to say that!”


    After berating her rtive, Lte hurried to Serenity and urged, “Serenity, please don’t listen to her.


    They’re just talking nonsense. Don’t let them cause a rift between us.”


    The rtive was dumbfounded by Lte’s scolding Did she. Did she identally upset Lte? But


    Lte had always loved to talk about Serenity being an ex–convict!


    Serenity was not in the mood to care about their cynicism. She did not want to cause any conflict with


    the Walker family. It would hurt Granny’s peace.


    “I’m going to keep Grannypany,” Serenity said tly and excused herself. She then headed to the


    room where Granny’s body was kept.


    Jackson followed behind Serenity. Before entering the room, he nced back at the rtive who had


    deliberately belittled


    Serenity.


    in music from hell.


    The rtive fell achill rise in her spine. It was as if she was almost one step away


    What was going on?! Why did one look from this man scare her so much?


    Serenity stayed by Granny’s casket throughout the night, and Jackson stayed by Serenity’s side. “If


    you’re sleepy, just nap on my shoulder,” he suggested.


    “I’m fine. I still can hang on,” Serenity said, staring at her Granny through the clear casket lid, Granny


    seemed so serene, as if asleep. “You really can’t take things with you when you die. Sometimes,


    people live without knowing what you want at all.”


    “Not necessarily. I know what I’m living for,” Jackson said.


    Serenity turned to Jackson, only to see his lips parting to speak. “I must have lived to meet and fall in


    love with you.”


    Falling in love with Serenity made Jackson feel like there was more to life than just living. He finally had


    something he wanted -a hopeful future.
