Chapter 133
“If your plan is to lift me up high so that I would fall hard, you don’t really have to do that. My life is
already miserable enough. I’m just a sanitation worker. I don’t have any money left. My family has
kicked me out. Do you want me to kneel down in front of Mira Hall’s grave to apologize? Or do you
want to take my life in return…”
“That’s enough!” He violently interrupted her. She would rather believe that he did all this to get
revenge for Mira Hall rather than because he liked spending time with her? “Listen to me. To me, Mira
Hall is not worth going through all this trouble for. All you have to do is stay by my side.”
He looked down at her hands that he was holding. He had been rubbing them for a while, they were
still cold for some reason.

He knew that he lost his temper just now. It felt like she could always stir his emotions easily, making
him feel scared, making him feel angry.
The closer he got to her, the more control she had over his emotions, but he could not help getting
closer to her.
“Stop saying those silly things. Get a good night’s sleep.” After that, he left the ward.
Serenity was now alone in the large ward.
She lowered her head and stared at her hands. They were shaking. Was she scared? Scared of
Jackson Valor, scared that something would happen to her?
Did she really have to stay by his side? But… could she do it? He was the reason she suffered all
those injuries in prison. He was the reason she almost died in prison. He was the reason she had to
live through three years of hell.
Because of that, whenever she looked at him, her heart would be filled with fear and dread.
Just now, he rubbed her hands for a long time, but her hands never warmed up because his touch
chilled her down to the bones.
Why must Jack be Jackson Valor? Why must it be Jack, the person she thought was her salvation?
Why? Why?
Serenity asked herself that countless times. The tears she had been holding back burst out of her as if
in protest.
Was she afraid? Was she feeling uneasy? Or… was she simply unable to let “Jack” go?!
She once told him, “Jack, I’m so glad I have you.”
At the time, he smiled and said, “I hope you’ll remember you said this and not regret it in the future.”

What was her reply again? She said, “I won’t regret it.”
Meeting him was a bizarre dream, and now, she had woken up from the dream.

But his game had not ended yet…
Connor stared at his boss’ gloomy face in the car. He was surprised to see Mr. Valor in this mood. After
all, Mr. Valor was with Miss Serenity just now. That usually brightened his mood.
Maybe… Miss Serenity was the one who made him upset? The possibility sent shivers down Connor’s
spine. If that was the case, he must tread carefully today lest he make himself a
target for his boss’ anger.
Jackson gently closed his eyes. He did not expect her to find out his real identity this way.
