Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 657

Some guests saw Serenity coming in and exclaimed immediately, “Oh, look who’s here! I used to think that Serenity was the most successful in the Walker family. Who would’ve known? She has now ended up being the worst. Lynette has turned out to be the most successful in the family.”

The guest was belittling Serenity to flatter Lynette, which was what Lynette would have loved to hear before. Everyone had always compared Lynette and Serenity to each other. They were close in age and looked so much alike when they were young.

Serenity had been one of the brightest kids at school. She was good at her studies and had gone to a prestigious university. Lynette, who was less educated, was naturally ashamed by the comparison.

Lynette was eager to be better than Serenity, but that was before knowing that Serenity was dating Jackson Valor.

After realizing Jackson’s true identity, the relative’s nasty comment made Lynette embarrassed.

Lynette’s relative did not think it was enough and went on and on. “Serenity might have been the one who caused your grandmother’s illness. How can you not be angry with an ex–convict in the family? Luckily, you’re lucky enough to have saved Mr. Gomez as a kid. He’s been looking for you for so many years. I’m sure you’ll have a good life after this.”

Lynette’s face changed. She gave Serenity a sidelong glance, fearful that her relative’s words would remind her of something. Instead, her gaze met Jackson’s His dark deep eyes stared at her as I mocking her.

Lynette panicked a little. It was like he knew she was just an Imposter.

“Enough! Stop it!” Lynette cut in, stopping the relative from speaking further. “Serenity has nothing to do with Granny’s illness. Granny’s funeral isn’t even over yet. It’s too much for you to say that!”

After berating her relative, Lynette hurried to Serenity and urged, “Serenity, please don’t listen to her. They’re just talking nonsense. Don’t let them cause a rift between us.”

The relative was dumbfounded by Lynette’s scolding Did she. Did she accidentally upset Lynette? But Lynette had always loved to talk about Serenity being an ex–convict!

Serenity was not in the mood to care about their cynicism. She did not want to cause any conflict with the Walker family. It would hurt Granny’s peace.

“I’m going to keep Granny company,” Serenity said flatly and excused herself. She then headed to the room where Granny’s body was kept. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Jackson followed behind Serenity. Before entering the room, he glanced back at the relative who had deliberately belittled

Serenity.

in music from hell.

The relative fell achill rise in her spine. It was as if she was almost one step away

What was going on?! Why did one look from this man scare her so much?

Serenity stayed by Granny’s casket throughout the night, and Jackson stayed by Serenity’s side. “If you’re sleepy, just nap on my shoulder,” he suggested.

“I’m fine. I still can hang on,” Serenity said, staring at her Granny through the clear casket lid, Granny seemed so serene, as if asleep. “You really can’t take things with you when you die. Sometimes,

people live without knowing what you want at all.”

“Not necessarily. I know what I’m living for,” Jackson said.

Serenity turned to Jackson, only to see his lips parting to speak. “I must have lived to meet and fall in love with you.”

Falling in love with Serenity made Jackson feel like there was more to life than just living. He finally had something he wanted -a hopeful future.
