Demetria thought of how she had always been highly regarded in the elite circle. She had never been treated with such ridicule
before.
“I won’t let this slide,” she declared. “I must teach that woman, Serenity Lewis, a lesson! She must’ve run to fackson and whispered horrible things about me in his ear! He has never treated me this way before!”
Demetria was determined to push all blame on Serenity,
“That’s enough!” Quinton reminded her. “From now on, don’t ever mess with Serenity Lewis again! Let it and here and now!”
Demetria stared at her husband in disbelief.
“What?! But that woman is the murderer that killed our daughter!”
A look of conflicted feelings flashed across Quinton’s eyes. He turned away as if deliberately avoiding his wife’s eye contact.
“If you don’t want the whole Hall family to follow Mira into the grave, just do as I say!”
Demetria seemed to have more to say, but jenny pulled her aside and told her, “ust listen to Dad this time, Mam. At the very least, we should leave Serenity alone for now.”
There was no saying when Serenity’s back would run out and Jackson finally lost his interest in her.
Demetria seemed obviously reluctant to let the matter go. Did she really have to allow Jackson to slap her without doing anything about it?!

She knew that Jack had done everything to help her just now. All the humiliation she had suffered this morning had gradually dissipated as she listened to the words he had said to defend her.
The sound of her footsteps made him turn his head quickly toward the staircase. He then slowly reached out his hands toward her. His movements were so natural that it seemed he would always reach out to help and support her wherever he saw her.
serenity stared dazedly at the hands that were reaching out for her, but she instinctively reached her own hands out to take his. His big hands then fully wrapped around her own hands tightly
“What are you doing coming downstairs?” he asked. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“1” she bit her lips gently. “I was behind the stairs just now and I saw everything. Thank you. But you didn’t have to go against the Hall family just for me, you know.”
Even she knew that there was a lot of business conducted between the Hall fanally and the Valor family. Although the Halls were not nearly as powerful as the Valors, a dispute with them would still affect the Valors to some extent.
“So what if the Valors‘ relationship with the Halls is completely nained?” He smiled. “If I can’t manage even this little problem and get justice for you over this small matter, I must be the lousiest boyfriend
ever.”
As he spoke, he slowly lifted a hand to gently caress the red and swollen spots on Serenity’s face
“But that one slap just now was far from enough,” he said.
She was taken aback. What else was he going to do? Whom she asked him that question, all she gut as an answer from him was,
soon enough. Also, if you’re ever in any kind of trouble again, just give me a call, understand?”
“You’ll
