Chapter 531
Chapter 531 1/1 Serenity learned of the Wayne family’s tax evasion scandal from the news even though there were already reports in the past about the same issue. Given their financial capacity, it remained unclear whether they could recover from this incident. The Waynes had their own connections throughout the city. If they were willing to help and if Jackson refrained from pursuing the matter, there was still a chance that they could salvage their business. Whenever she asked Jackson about them, he would respond without hesitation, “Julia mistreated you, so they deserved this.” “But that’s her problem, her family has nothing to…” “Their business was already plagued with issues in the first place. What I did was merely highlight their flaws in advance. What’s more, the businessmen in this city are no fools. They were all waiting for an opportunity just like this to gain more market share in convenience stores across Shermal,” explained Jackson
Serenity more or less understood what he was saying. She knew that Jackson didn’t lash out at the Waynes just because Julia bad singled her out. Still, it also reminded the business- owning community in Shermal not to cross Serenity. Those who dared to bully her would be met with the same fate as the Waynes. “It feels like I’m holding you back all the time, like you keep having to protect me,” complained Serenity while biting her lip.. The same thing had happened with the Halls last time. “If I don’t protect you, who else would protect? Also, I don’t feel held back by you at all,” replied Jackson. He raised his hand and gently stroked her lips. “Stop biting your lips all the time. To be able to protect you, that’s all I ever wished for.” He was glad that she had accepted his protection in the first place. His worst fear was the day when this stopped being the case.
“I’d like to be your protector for the rest of my life, is that okay?” Jackson was slightly bent over as he stared straight into her eyes. His voice sounded deep. Like the night breeze, it was cold but carried a lingering sense of desire. It left Serenity in a dazed state. At the moment, he seemed to have placed himself in an inferior position, praying for her approval. She should have been the one to thank him, but their positions were switched for some reason. How could she not love a man like that? “Alright,” answered Serenity while blushing. A burning desire rose in her heart. She wondered if there would come a day when she had to protect him. Rather than being in a superior position, she imagined them standing side-by-side against the odds and protecting each other. His lips gently pressed against hers, and his seductive voice whispered into her car, “Serenity_” The only thing she could see was his dazzling eyes. They spent the night together. The next morning, Jackson asked if she could take the day off, but Serenity turned him down hastily. “If you’re worried that the shop will be understaffed if you’re not there, I can send someone to work in your stead,” he offeredThis belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
