She was so furious that she turned around and quickly left the place in embarrassment with Janice following close behind.

Serenity felt like she had just watched a drama unfold before her eyes. As soon as they exited the mall, they had witnessed someone smashing a car, which turned out to be Amanda’s.

He was also staring unblinkingly at the bus stop.

“What’s wrong?” Serenity asked.

“Jack, maybe one day when you truly love someone, you’ll understand that in this world, there’s someone who can control the joy and sorrow you feel, who can make you feel alive or dead… But if possible, Daddy hopes you never experience that.”
