Chapter 176
The ambiguous way in which Jackson treated Serenity shocked the restaurant’s manager and Mr.
Crouch
It was said that Jackson had no interest In women. Even when he was with his former fiancée, the two
always maintained a respectful distance.

even demanding justice for her?
Amanda knelt and trembled as she apologized, “Serenity. It was all my fault. I shouldn’t have spoken to
you that way. I-I won’t do it again. Please forgive me!!
Serenity looked at Amanda without a shred of sympathy. After all, Amanda had never shown any
sympathy toward her. She wasn’t a saint who would sympathize with someone who only knew how to
ridicule and mock her.
However, she didn’t appreciate this kind of gesture either. She felt no satisfaction whatsoever even as

her.
“Sis, do you think you should forgive her?” Jackson whispered as if he was offering her a chance to

“Right, let’s go,” Jackson said as he reached for Serenity’s hand again before signaling the manager to
lead the way.

“I-I didn’t know that woman had a connection with Jackson. S-she deliberately wanted to harm me! She
intentionally wanted to use Jackson against me.”
“No matter if it was intentional or not, Jackson is now backing her up.”

Amanda’s face twisted into an ugly expression.

Could it be…?
Her car being vandalized and her family’s company facing trouble, were they all happening because of
