Chapter 46
Even though her face remained the same, it felt more weathered. She was also wearing a fluorescent
work uniform instead of branded clothes.
Zeke stared at her in a daze. The scene of her desperately crawling to him and begging him to believe
her once again surfaced in his mind.
At that time, she had looked at him with eyes that were eager, hopeful, and pleading… but now, her
eyes were like a calm lake that had no ripples.
Jenny saw her boyfriend’s reaction from the corner of the eye. She handed the gift box to Serenity with
a warm smile and said, “This is for you. I’m sorry for what happened that day. Thank you for helping me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlook for the ring.” She was so different from the demon in the prison!
Serenity took the box from her in silence. Without saying anything, she turned around and walked
away.
Back in the office, Serenity gave Xyla her gift box. “Xyla, you can have this.”
“Huh? You don’t want such a good jacket?” Xyla was surprised.
“I have enough clothes,” replied Serenity.
“But there’s also $70 inside…”
“You can have that too,” said Serenity. Lunch break was almost over, so Serenity grabbed the cleaning
tools and got ready to clean the streets again.
When she went outside, she was relieved to find the reporters gone.
But she soon ran into Zeke Shaw.
“Are you… doing all right?” asked Zeke. He once hated this woman. He hated her for killing Mira Hall,
causing his family to blame him and almost causing the downfall of the Shaw family.
But when he saw her in a sanitation worker’s uniform, he truly felt bad for her.
After all, she was a woman he once loved.
“It’s none of your business, Mr. Shaw,’ said Serenity indifferently. She tried to walk past him.
“Stop being so rude, Serenity!” Zeke stopped her and said.
“Rude?” Serenity snickered. She looked at him flatly. “Are you going to let Jenny pluck my nails again
or break my fingers again? Will you only be happy if I can’t even hold a broom anymore?”
It had been three years, but some of the hurt was still there even after all this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she needed him the most, he looked on coldly and allowed others to hurt her. Now, he came to
ask her if she was all right?
How ridiculous!
Zeke could not help but frown. The way she looked at him and her attitude irritated him slightly.
Everything that happened to you, you brought upon yourself. You killed Jenny’s sister! Whatever Jenny
did to you, you have no grounds to complain!”
Serenity’s face went pale.
“Don’t you realize that the person you killed was Mira Hall? Even your own family shunned you. Who
would dare to show concern for you?!” Zeke said angrily, “If it wasn’t because I feel sorry for you now, I
wouldn’t be…”
He pursed his lips and sighed, “How about this? I’ll tell my company’s HR manager to arrange a clerk
position for you in a subsidiary company. At least it’s a better job than this.”
No matter what, Serenity was still his ex-girlfriend. Seeing her like this made him unhappy.
