Gich swallowed the saliva that was starting to rise up from his throat.
‘Okay,” he thought, ‘it looks like this woman called Serenity Lewis that I just met might very likely marry into the Valor family one day and become Mrs. Valor.”
“She seems to be a very lucky woman,” Caleb muttered,

“No,” Jackson denied in a soft voice, “I’m the lucky one.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Or to put it more precisely, it was her misfortunes that had turned him into a lucky man. Had that car crash not happened back then, perhaps Serenity would already be married to Zeke Shaw and have had kids with Zeke by now, and she would never be caught in the terrible situation she was in when she had first met Jackson.
And he would then never discover the bliss he would feel whenever he was with her.
Caleb was stunned when he heard this. At that moment, he had a hunch that Serenity already had Jackson wrapped around her finger!
Serenity took a glass of champagne from the waiter and sipped it. Because it was low in alcohol and had a fruity taste, she found drinking it quite pleasurable. Still, she had to be careful not to drink too much champagne because for a light drinker like her, even a drink with such low alcoholic content as this could very easily get her drunk
As she sipped on the champagne, she scanned her surroundings. All around her were the sounds of clinking wine glasses and a magnificent scene of successful people intertwining with each other. In the
past, she would fit right in such a scene. She used to chat it up with various people in the upper crust of society, trying to make more connections so that it would help her career in the future.
In fact, she would take great care to dress up very nicely back then whenever she would attend functions like this besides also making sure to do her best when she was having conversations with the elites. This was because she did not want to embarrass Zeke when she stood by his side as his companion for these functions.
But now, looking back, all those things seemed to have happened a whole different lifetime ago.
Suddenly, a group of women approached Serenity, and one of them asked, “You’re Jackson Valor’s partner today, aren’t you?”
Serenity looked up. She recognized these women. They were all members of Solaria’s high society. In fact, she had seen them gracing the covers of gossip magazines before. But that was not the reason why she recognized them. Instead, it was because she used to gather as much information on all the important figures of Solarian society as she possibly could when she was Zeke’s girlfriend in order not to embarrass him.
That was how she knew that among the three women in front of her, one was the granddaughter of the Jewelry King of Solaria, one was the daughter of the Chairman of Solaria’s famous convenience store chain, and one was the granddaughter of the owner of Solaria’s most prestigious five–star hotel.
But the most famous one among them was, of course, the granddaughter of the Jewelry King of Solaria, Zandra Lane. She was not just exceptionally beautiful, but also undeniably charismatic. She had many potential suitors, but she seemed uninterested in any of them.
In fact, Zandra had once told the media, “I’m only interested in the best man in the work, of course. I simply have no time for anything less.”
At the time, it was much speculated in the media that the man Zandra was referring to was none other than Jackson Valor, but shortly afterward, Jackson had gotten engaged in Mira Hall, so all the rumors about the possible relationship between Jackson and Zandra had fizzled out and was never mentioned again.
The thought of Mira Hall instantly brought a heavy gloom that lang over Serenity’s mind.
“Yes,” she stood up and answered, “Lan

She knew at a glance that these three women had not come to her with good intentions.
“My name is Zandra Lane. What’s yours?”
Zandra spoke with a sweet smile on her face, almost as if she was eager to make Serenity her new friend.
But Serenity was not fooled by this, of course. She was certain that making friends was the last thing on Zandra’s mind right now. Nevertheless, in such a situation, she could not possibly refuse to answer her, so she politely replied, “Serenity Lewis.”
