Chapter 149 To this day, they still could not figure out where all the evidence came from, or why the statements of the witnesses were so consistent. “Those people are too much. They know nothing, but they like to stand on moral high ground and criticize other people,” Lisa said indignantly. “I’m used to it.” Serenity replied calmly. When Lisa thought of Serenity’s injuries, she could not help but sigh. She saw Serenity’s injuries when she picked her up from prison. There were old and new ones. Serenity never told her what happened in prison, but Lisa could more or less guess. She must have gone through a lot of hardship.
“Is Jack really Jackson Valor?” Lisa asked to change the subject. “Yeah,” Serenity nodded. “But… if he’s Jackson Valor, how could he pretend to be a homeless man and stay with you in this small rental house for so long?” That was what Lisa could not figure out. It could not be a fetish of his, right? that, “It’s just a game to him,” Serenity said a little bitterly. She still remembered, when she heard him say she found it hard to breathe. Jack, who was so good to her, who warmed her hands, who waited for her to have dinner, who quietly listened to her complaints, was just a lie Jackson Valor came up with for a game. How absurd. “A game?” Lisa did not understand. “Yup. Rich people like him probably find their days boring, so they like to play this kind of game to pass the time,” said Serenity. Lisa did not know how to comfort her best friend. She knew the thing that her best friend hated and feared the most was deception. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
What Jackson Valor did was no doubt a heavy blow to her. Serenity looked up and smiled at Lisa. “I’m fine. Don’t worry. I have nothing to do with him anymore. His game is probably over. I didn’t actually lose anything. I just go back to living alone again.” Lisa felt like crying when she saw Serenity’s smile. “Why don’t I move in and live with you?” “No need, Lisa. I don’t want you to fall out with your family again because of me,” said Serenity. “I know you care about me, but I don’t want to keep feeling guilty towards you. I already owe you so much…” “Don’t say that. We’re best friends! Back in school, when our classmate lost her money, everyone thought I stole it except for you. You’re the only one who believed me and even helped me catch the thief. Back then, you believed me and helped me, so now, I’ll believe you and help you too!” said Lisa. After that incident, Lisa had decided that Serenity and her would be best friends for life! “Thank you,” murmured Serenity. She didn’t sacrifice anything to help Lisa back then, but Lisa had to sacrifice way too much to help her now. “By the way, what do you plan to do from now on?” asked Lisa. “What else can I do? I continue working at the Sanitation Office,” replied Serenity. “But news of you being mobbed outside the hospital is all over the Internet now. Everyone at the Sanitation Office will know about what happened three years ago. Your co-workers might…” Lisa expressed her concern.
