Chapter 525
“Let me hug you for a while,” Jackson murmured tenderly. “The driver will be here soon.
He then glanced at the woman in his arms before turning around to take a glimpse at Lucas, who was
standing not far away, watching them.
The two men’s eyes met.
Moments later, a black car slowly drove up toward Jackson and Serenity. Jackson turned his gaze
away and led Serenity into the car. Serenity turned around and climbed into the car, unaware that

But just as she opened her mouth, the rest of her words never escaped her throat as she noticed the

Lucas obviously looked like a man who was trying his utter best to suppress his jealousy!
When Serenity returned to the Valor Residence, Jackson quickly checked her whole body once more to
make sure that she was not injured anywhere. Only then was he finally assured
“You should go and rest now,” he said. “You’re going to work tomorrow, aren’t you?”
“Okay,” Serenity nodded. The restaurant would resume its business again tomorrow, and she would
have to wake up early.” What about you?”
“I’ve got some work to do,” he told her. “I’ll go to bed later when I’m done.”
And so, Serenity took a shower and went straight to bed. Meanwhile, Jackson went to his study and
gave his secretary, Connor Gunn, a call.
“Get me all the information you can get on the Wayne family that owns Wayne Convenience Store,” he
ordered.
“The Wayne family? Connor asked, wondering how this family had offended his boss.
As for Julia Wayne, the moment she got home, she told her family all about what just happened.
Unsurprisingly, her parents were both in total shock while her older brother flew into a rage, yelling at
her for being such a dimwitted m oron and scolding her for being so st upid as to offend Jackson Valor
out of all people.
They were even more enraged when they found out that she had done all of that for the sake of Zandra
Lane, but in the end, Zandra had completely distanced herself from julia and washed her hands off the
whole thing.
The Wayne family had been in turmoil lately because of tax problems, and they were reluctant to attend
the function because they were afraid that the reporters would be there and they would surely be
hounded by them. That was why they had let Julia attend it alone-because she had little to nothing to
do with the family business, and she might even be able to persuade her friends, Zandra and Yuna, to
help the family as well. But who would have thought that things would end up in such a mess?!
“But I did all of that to help our family!” Julia argued. “At worst, we’ll just have to go meet Serenity Lewis
and apologize to her.”
She had a hunch that if she was able to meet Serenity and own up to her mistake in person, this whole
matter might end, and everything would turn out fine.

expensive gifts and bring them along as well.”
But when the Waynes got to the Valor Residence the next day, they were refused outright at the
entrance. They were not even

step into the residence at all. It was the Valors’ butler who came out and told them with a deadpan face,
“Mr. Valor is too busy to see you all.”
“But we’re only here to offer these gifts as a token of our sincere apology, Mr. Wayne explained. “It was
all due to my daughter’s recklessness that Miss Lewis was offended.”
Mr. Wayne thought of how he was usually the one wi
who b
bossed everyone around and how he had never talked to any butler in such a humble tone before, but
it was different this time, of course, since this was no ordinary butler, but the Valors’ butler.
“Mr. Valor said that instead of wasting your time here, you should all go back and try to set your own
affairs straight.”
After finishing that sentence, the butler then turned around and went back inside the mansion after
locking up the iron gate.
