Chapter 55
So, not only are you trying to seduce Peter, but you’ve also been hooking up with another man,
Quinn’s shrill accusing voice suddenly rang through the air.
Serenity was annoyed, but she knew that this world would never be rid of pesky people like Quinn.
Jackson tumed around, and his cold gaze fell on this plain–looding woman with a sharp tongue.
As soon as Quinn got a good look at Jackson, astonishment flashed through her eyes. This man was even more handsome th all the actors she had seen on television! Although his thick bangs covered parts of his face, it only made her feel that if this man were to tidy up his hairstyle and change into better clothes, he could easily give all those male superstars a run for their money!
Quinn was instantly struck by jealousy. How could a woman like Serenity not only steal Peter’s heart but also attract such a handsome man?
Her lips curled up into a sinister smile, and she said, “Are you Serenity’s friend? You’re probably unaware that she’s been in prison before. A few years ago, she was drunk driving when she crashed into another car and killed someone. Imagine, she drove her car even though she was drunk! That’s like committing a murder on purpose!”
To Quinn’s utter disappointment, there was no shock, astonishment, or even concern on the man’s face at all after hearing what she had to say, Instead, he looked as calm as ever. The only detectable change was his gaze, which had become even colder now. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Looks like you’re the one who spread the news to everyone else,” said Jackson, his penetrating gaze fixed on Quinn.
Quinn was now inexplicably filled with terror. It felt as if horrible things would happen to her if she admitted to the deed. Still, she bit her lips and defiantly responded, “So what if I did? I was only doing the right thing! Everyone has the right to know that there’s a criminal among their colleagues! If she’s so afraid of people finding out, she shouldn’t have committed the crime back then!
Jackson suddenly chuckled and said, “So you admitted it. Good.”
After speaking, he completely ignored Quinn and turned to Serenity, saying, “Let’s go, Sis. I’m tired of this woman now.”
“Okay,” Serenity replied.
Quinn glared at them as they walked away. Sis?! Could that man really be Serenity’s brother? They did not even look alike! Besides, that man seemed to be about the same age as Serenity!
Yet, for whatever reason, she got goosebumps when she thought of the man’s soft chuckle earlier.
Serenity dragged Jackson away from the Sanitation Office, but she did not lead him back to her place. Instead, she headed in
another direction
“I got paid today,” she told him, “so let’s go out and have dinner outside! Come to think of it, I don’t think we’ve ever proper dinner outside before ever since we met!”
“Let’s have a nice dinner, then,” said Jackson. “Hut let me pay this time since I’ve earned some money too. You’ve been taking good care of me all this while, so it’s my turn to repay you, Sis.”
Serenity felt strangely proud, almost as if her own little brother had finally grown i
“Go ahead, then!” she said, smiling. The bad mood she had been in because of Quinn nove quickly dissipated
The two of them soon came to a shopping mall downtown where Serenity decided on a popular restaurant to have dinner at
“The food here isn’t bad at all, and their price is reasonable tou. Back then, my colleagues and I would always..”
Serenity paused abruptly mid–sentence.
