Chapter 156
Wait a minute…” Serenity jolted and looked at the man in surprise. “H-how? How did he know the
bracelet was with her?
Serenity had found the bracelet in her pocket when she had gotten off work at night. However, this man
knew the bracelet was with her. He knew where she lived and had broken in silently. He had managed
to do all that-who was he?
“You found my bracelet. Say, what kind of reward do you want? I can give you anything reasonable,”
Lucas lowered his head, looking down at Serenity.
Lucas could have left after retrieving the bracelet, However, he decided to stay after seeing Serenity’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsleeping face.
Lucas thought that maybe he wanted to see what she looked like when she was awake.
She soon opened her eyes, revealing her mesmerizing dark eyes. Her naturally curled eyelashes made
her eyes even more charming.
Her eyes were wide open, but the light in her eyes was something else and did not match her age. She
seemed to have gone through many hardships in life. She lost the youthful spirit in her eyes, replaced
by a resigned look.
Serenity did not recognize the intruder, but he seemed to have an aura similar to Jackson’s, and she
knew she could not afford to mess with a man like him.
“I happened to find this in my work uniform’s pocket. I didn’t actually find it. You don’t have to give me
any reward,” Serenity said.
Lucas raised his eyebrow slightly, seemingly surprised by her rejection. This woman was a poor
sanitation worker living in a shabby and tiny place. Why would she refuse his reward?
“What if I reward you with something life-changing? Would you want it? Lucas asked.
Serenity could not help but think of what Jackson had said to her back then. These two men were
indeed similar. Both men seemed powerful enough to change people’s lives easily.
However, she did not want another person to control her life. She wanted to take control of her own life.
“No need. The bracelet is back to its original owner. I didn’t do anything.” Serenity said.
Lucas ‘s face sank slightly. He leaned down, his face close to hers. His dark eyes were studying her
carefully.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSerenity subconsciously tightened her grip on her blanket and glared at him.
She had no idea who this man really was and what he wanted. This man was able to enter her house
so silently at night and with ease. She probably would not be able to stop him if he really were to do
something to her.
The two stared at each other in silence. After a long while, the man’s indifferent voice sounded again.
Are you saying that because you want more? Are you playing with me?”
She froze for a moment and then said, “I’m not. I really don’t care. Besides, I don’t even know you.
You’ve got your bracelet back, so can you leave now? I have to go to work early in the morning. I need
another two hours of sleep.”
Lucas straightened up slowly and played with the silver bracelet in his hand. He moved his gaze to her
face and introduced himself slowly, “I’m Lucas Gomez. So, now you know who I am.”
