Chapter 469
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

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.

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.

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.
