Chapter 69
Joy disliked Serenity. Joy had been very displeased after Serenityâs accident. She would often hear people talking about the end of the Shaw family, and this made her feel ashamed. It had gone on until her brother had started dating Jenny. Finally, no one said that anymore.
âSerenity is someone who brings bad luck to us. Fortunately, you broke up with her in time. She isnât worthy of you at all. I heard sheâs cleaning the streets now. Sheâs such a disgrace. Why did the judge sentence her to only three years in prison? I think she should stay in jail for a decade or two!â
Joy spoke of Serenity with disgust. The more she spoke, the more frightened Zeke became.
After all, he knew Serenity was with Jackson! Jackson had not explicitly explained his relationship with her, but Zeke could somewhat guess as a man himself.
âEnough, Joy. Donât talk about her anymore. When you see Serenity, youâd better be more polite,â Zeke warned.
Joy complained with displeasure, âZeke, whatâs wrong with you?! You didnât say anything when I spoke of her before! Why are you defending her now?â
âZeke, youâre not still in love with her, are you?â Marcia asked, feeling, worried.
Hearing that, David frowned. âDonât even think about it. Serenity isnât welcome here!â
Zeke felt troubled. The truth was not the same as they thought. Unfortunately, he could not explain it clearly.
Zeke gritted his teeth and warned, âI donât have any feelings for her, but sheâs not someone we can offend! All I can say is donât offend the wrong person!â
âDonât offend the wrong person?â Joy scoffed. âZeke, what nonsense are you saying? Serenity is just a sanitation worker. Why canât we offend her?â
âAnyway, just listen to me. Donât ruin the family!â Zeke warned sharply.
David was experienced and had gone through a great deal more than his children. When he saw his sonâs overreaction, he sensed something strange. âZeke, is Serenity..
âDad, there are some things I canât say. Either way, youâd better show some respect to her, or⦠At least respect her for now,â Zeke advised. After all, Jackson seemed to be taking Serenity very seriously, at least for the time being.
David fell into deep thought, and Marcia was silent too. Only Joy brushed it off with disdain. She did not believe her brotherâs warning at all, and she did not want to respect Serenity either. Zeke was obviously still in love with Serenity and giving them
excuses!
Joy thought, âSerenity has been in prison before. How can she be so to get engaged, so how can she still seduce him? Sheâs too shameless!
edy after leaving prison?! Serenity knows Zeke is about
Jacksonâs eyes were fixed on the box of stomach medicine on his desk. Serenity had bought this for him when he had had a stomach ache. His stomach pain had improved eventually, but he still had half a box of medicine left. He had not thrown it away and kept it on his desk instead.
An elegant and slightly hypnotic voice resounded in the CEOâs office. âConnor, what do you think? What would happen if Serenity knew who I really am?â
Connor was picking up a document that his boss had approved and was about to leave, but Jacksonâs sudden question startled him. âUhh.â
âWhatâs wrong? Is that a difficult question?â Jackson raised his brow.
It was not a particularly difficult question. However, Connor was unsure if his boss would accept the answer.
âMs. Lewis might feel deceived,â Connor answered tactfully. In truth, she would most definitely feel deceived, not maybe.
