“Stop…” she shouted, but no matter how hard she struggled, it was in vain. Her face turned red. Goosebumps appeared on her skin under her ripped hospital gown from the sudden exposure to cold air. “Let me go! Let me go!”
She was nervous and angry.
Meanwhile, he was calm and collected. His slender fingers held her wrist down as he smiled and said, “Sis, you can shout as loud as you want. There are bodyguards, nurses and doctors on duty outside. They should all be able to hear you, but…”
He paused and stared at her with passionate eyes before he continued, “I can guarantee that none of them will come in here to save you.”
Serenity froze. She knew that he was telling the truth. Even if she shouted until her throat was sore, no one would dare to come in here.
Because this man… was Jackson Valur!
She was silent while he pressed his mouth against her jaw… her neck… and finally lingered on her pretty collarbone, sprinkling little kisses on her.
“Stay by my side. Didn’t you say that you like me? Then why are you refusing when I’m giving you this opportunity?” he murmured.
Serenity felt a pain in her heart, as if it had been stabbed.
Yes, she did say that once, but it sounded so laughable now.
“Because you’re not Jack.” He was not the homeless man she thought she could sympathize with. He was Jackson Valor, a man who could move mountains in Solaria.
He stopped and propped himself up slightly to look at her. “I am. If you want, I can keep behaving in the manner you like.”
She smiled bitterly. “Even if you act like Jack again, you’re not Jack anymore.”
The Jack she knew was gone. He had been a lie since the beginning
He pursed his lips. There was a tinge of coldness in his eyes. After a while, he said, “Are you so repulsed by the fact that I’m Jackson Valor? But Sis, have you ever considered that it’s exactly because I’m Jackson Valor that I can change your fate and make your life better? Otherwise, who would dare offend Jackson Valor for you?
He straightened up, and, after giving her an arrogant look, left the ward.
Serenity sat up, buttoned up her hospital gown one by one, and wrapped her trembling body in the blanket tightly.
Just now, he did not really desire her. He just wanted to send her a message, that if he wanted her, she was powerless to resist!
She could not even say no!
Connor reported the result of his investigation to Jackson. “The people Lisa Quest made contact with that day were all family members, co–workers and neighbors she saw regularly,

“Zeke Shaw’s sister?” Jackson asked after pondering for a moment.
“That’s right. According to Lisa Quest’s co–workers, Joy Shaw mentioned your name during
her argument with Lisa Quest,” said Connor.
Jackson sneered. “How unexpected. So that’s where it went wrong.
