Chapter 9

After leaving the hospital, Connor asked, “Mr. Valor, do you want to return to the residence or…”

“Go back to West City,” Jackson said lightly.

Going back to West City meant going back to Serenity’s place. Connor wondered how long his boss planned to stay in that tiny rental place.

While on the way to West City, Connor spoke up at a traffic light. “Mr. Valor, Ms. Serenity is on the roadside.”

Jackson turned to see a slender figure sweeping the garbage along the roadside with a broom. Serenity wore fluorescent-colored overalls and a simple ponytail for work. It was a cold day, so every breath she took turned into white smoke.

At the same time, an electric bike moved quickly, seemingly rushing to catch the green light. As it flew past Serenity, it brushed her legs, making her fall to the ground. However, the rider did not even bother stopping and quickly crossed the road.

Naturally, Jackson and Connor saw this scene play out in front of them clearly.

“Mr. Valor, should we find the owner of the electric bike and hold him accountable?” Connor asked. He thought his boss might be interested in Serenity. After all, he had stood up for her when she had been hurt and slapped in the club before. He thought Mr. Valor would naturally stand up for her again.

Jackson looked out the car window. His eyes were fixed on the woman who had fallen to the ground, but Master Zack’s voice rang in his mind again—”Remember what you’ve said today. Never be like him…”
