Jackson spun around and headed straight to his room instead. He then entered Serenity’s room
through the inner door that connected the two rooms.
Serenity’s room was dark, and the lights were off. Jackson glanced around in the semi–darkness,
relying on the faint sunlight shining through the curtains. Although dim, it did not affect his vision.
Jackson soon found Serenity in the corner of the room, sitting curled up. She had wrapped her arms
around her knees and buried her face in it. She seemed like she was trying to curl into a ball.
Jackson vaguely remembered seving her hiding in a corner with a similar posture some time ago. At
the thought of this, a sudden pain stabbed at him, just below his heart. The scenario from the video he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad seen just moments before flashed across
his mind.
In the video, Serenity had gotten slapped in the face and then escorted out of the mall. The video had
been recorded from a distance, too far away to hear the conversation Even so, Jackson could more or
less guess what the Hall family would have said to her.
Jackson’s eyes flashed with anger. His anger was mostly directed at the Hall family and at himself. He
should have warned the Hall family earlier. They should not have attacked her! She did not have to
endure such humiliation.
Serenity. Jackson crouched down slowly and called her name softly. Serenity remained in the same
position, motionless, as if frozen in time.
“Serenity…” Jackson raised his voice slightly. “I’ll be by your side no matter what.”
Serenity trembled slightly. Her shoulders moved, and she looked up slowly. Her face was pale, her
eyes red and swollen.
Jackson could see the obvious marks on her pink lips. He could only imagine how hard she had bitten
her own lips.
“Were you crying?” Jackson asked, his finger gently tracing her red eyes.
Serenity stiffened slightly. Then, she tried her best to manage a smile. “L. I wasn’t mying 1-1 was just
tired and resting by the
wall”
Jackson held his gaze on Serenity. He wondered if she realized what a terrible liar she was. She
somehow managed a smile, but the cut on her lips made that motion sting Boe bell
“I know everything,” Jackson lushed. He wanted to see her happy smile, not this. The forced smile on

picking her up in his arms.
Jackson took her to the couch and sat her down. He then carefully observed her limbs and exposed
skin. He did not see any other injuries except for the bruises on her face.
Serenity was still stunned at his words earlier. He knows everything.” What did he mean by that?
Slaskud, “What do you know?
“I know what happened earlier,” Jackson explained. “Someone took a vicen of the scene and posted it
online,”
Sermity stiffened and bit down on her lower lip
Serenity had made up her mind to get over the humiliation and stop thildegg about it. However,
someone had filmed the incident earlier and pasted the video online. The feeling of humiliation seemed
to multiply, overwhelming her.
What had she cone to deserve this? She had done nothing wrong! Why did she have to suffer
needlessly?!
