Chapter 321
Serenity once again walked out of a job interview in failure. She smiled wryly.
She had thought that she was mentally prepared for this. She was even willing to take a delivery job
that did not even come with a basic salary, but even there, her application was rejected.
Serenity glanced at the time. It was almost nou now, so she stopped by a small restaurant where she
ordered a bowd of noodles that cost barely more than a dollar–the cheapest item in the restaurant.
There was an old television in the restaurant with the news on it. It was a rerun of yesterday’s news, so
Serenity did not pay much attention to it at first, but when she heard a familiar company’s name, her
head instantly shot up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat.. was the company where she had gotten an interview for a delivery job previously. It was the
same company whose hoss had called Jackson to tell him about her interview.
Jackson had told her off–handedly that he would eliminate this company.
And now.. the news reported that the company was in financial hot water. The inwestens who had
previously announced publicly that they were about to make investiments in the company suddenly
withdrew themselves. Starting yesterday, many people who had invested were gathered in front of the
company entrance, demanding their money back.
Judging from the pictures on the news, it was indeed a chaotic scene.
Serenity sat frozen as she watched the news, dreadfully startled
Did Jackson do this? It had only been a few days, yet he was already able to destroy a promising
company so thoroughly?
If her suspicions were true, it could only mean that Jackson was truly a terrifyingly formidable man. But
if it was not the case at all, then.. Could there be such an uncanny coincidence in this world?
Serenity’s head was full of such thoughts as she ate her noodles. Suddenly, she could feel something
touching her leg. She looked down and saw a little boy about three years old. He was wearing old,
shabby clothes, but he was an exceptionally adorable child. His facial features were exquisite, his skin
was supple and smooch, and he was so lovably chubby in a way that only toddlers could be, giving one
an urge to pinch his cheeks.
And right now, the boy’s big brown eyes were staring fixedly at her.
Serenity stared back at him in confusion. She looked around. Because it was around lunchtime, many

up and then noticed that the boy’s eyes were
fixed on her bowl of noodles
“Would you lie to try the noodles?” she asked.
The buy did not react nor did he pay any attention to her. He just kept his gaze fixed on the bowl.
Could it be that this child really liked noodles? Serenity would not mind ordering another bowl for the
boy, but she had to attend to the most urgent matter at the inocent, which was to find the boy’s parents.
Just as she was about to ask around if anyone knew the boy, a woman about 30 years old in plain, dull
clothes rushed up to her and said, “I’m so sorry my son disturbed you! I should’ve kept an eye on him!
I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..
The woman went on to apologize repeatedly, Serenity recognized the woman as the one behind the
register when she had been making her order. She even recalled the waiter calling the woman “Boss“.
It surprised her that she was the boy’s mother.
