Chapter 1192
"Innocent?" Lucas scoffed, "The police have checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that Lynette's telling the truth. What's more, none of the five eyewitnesses know each other, yet their statements are all consistent! There's no possibility of them giving false statements at all! "Serenity asked, "Have you ever been wrongly accused before?""What?" he was caught off guard by her question."Being wrongly accused, with all the witnesses and material evidence against you. Even though you know you're innocent, there's nothing you can do. Have you ever experienced something like that before?" She smiled faintly, "I have, so I can understand how Peter feels right now. That's why I'll help him no matter what!"He pursed his lips and stared at her with eyes that tried to see through her. "Even if I ask you to stay away from Peter Wall's case, you'll still help him?""He's my friend. I believe him." She met his gaze and did not back down in the slightest.At this moment, the air

"I don't understand what you're saying. Why would I frame him? What would I gain from it?" Lynette asked.That was exactly what Serenity couldn't figure out. "You're not even willing to settle, are you?""Would you settle with someone who tried to rape you?" Lynette asked, secretly appreciating Serenity's distress.For once, it gave her the feeling of having the upper hand over Serenity!Serenity took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever considered that by doing this, you'll be giving a person a lifelong stigma, and he won't be able to hold his head high for the rest of his life?""Serenity, stop accusing me of framing Peter Wall! You're a lawyer, so you know very well that you need evidence to make that kind of accusation!" Lynette said condescendingly."What will it take for you to let Peter go?" Serenity took a deep breath and said, "I'll do my best to satisfy your request."Although Serenity had no idea what Lynette's goal was, she had a vague feeling that it had something

If she agreed, he would do everything he could to settle the matter in a manner that she would be satisfied with.But to his disappointment, what she said was: "Lucas, you saved my life, so I'll do whatever you ask me to do as long as it doesn't go against my conscience. But in this matter, I won't agree."He snorted, "You mean this goes against your conscience? Serenity, is that man really that important to you?!"Serenity kept quiet. Rather than saying it's because Peter was important to her, it's more appropriate to say that she had to save Peter because Peter was most likely framed because of her. Not to mention, the current Peter reminded her of herself years back. She wanted to save Peter just like she wanted someone to save her back then.Her silence upset Lucas even further.Lynette walked up to Lucas, gently held his arm, and said, "Lucas, don't be mad. Serenity only got tricked by Peter Wall because she cares about him so much. But the fact is, Peter Wall is simply full

"You know very well what the truth is," Serenity ignored Lynette's acting and looked only at Lucas. "Do you believe me?"The shock in Lucas' eyes slowly subsided. His long eyelashes fluttered for a moment before slowly dropping down, "You want me to believe that you're the little girl who saved me?""Yes," Serenity answered. Even though she knew that her revelation was too sudden, she wanted to gamble on his trust."I asked you this at the edge of the cliff not long after your grandmother passed away. Do you still remember what you told me?" Lucas' voice was soft.Serenity could only sigh. At that time, she wanted to give Jackson a sense of security, so even though she had recovered her memory, she insisted that she wasn't the little girl who saved Lucas."I remember," she said, "At that time, I did deny it, but...""But after that, I asked you on multiple occasions if you're the girl!" Lucas' voice had a tinge of mocking laughter. He raised his head to look at her, and his eyes

Tears poured out of Lynette's eyes incessantly. Her tears weren't entirely fake. She really was scared when Serenity revealed the truth. If Lucas believed Serenity, she would be in big trouble.Thankfully, Lucas didn't.Serenity's eyes had never left Lucas. "In your eyes, am I really the kind of person who would lie and take over another person's identity just to save someone?"Her voice was much less intense than before. She sounded as if she was just asking a serious but simple question. However, that made Lucas nervous.What was he nervous about?!After all his hard work, he finally managed to get a bit closer to her, but it felt like they were now moving further and further apart, all because of the man named Peter Wall, a man that he had never taken seriously before.From what he could remember, Peter Wall was just an ordinary, plain-looking man!"Is Peter Wall really that important to you?" he asked instead of answering her question."I don't want to see him go to prison

"Do you remember what you said to me in the hospital before we parted when we were children?" he suddenly asked."Huh?" Lynette blinked, then said, "Of course I remember. I gave you one of my bracelets and told you, when you come look for me, bring the bracelet with you as a token. That way, we'll always be able to recognize each other, even after we grow up and don't look the same anymore because we each have a bracelet that looks exactly the same."Lynette then deliberately added, "I remember watching a TV series where the male and female lead each carried half a jade pendant and found each other after they grew up because of it, so I did something similar."Lucas couldn't help but smile bitterly. What was he thinking? Did he actually hope that Serenity was telling the truth, that Serenity was the little girl who saved him, that the person he had been thinking about for all these years was actually Serenity?But that person was clearly Lynette! Even if Lynette wasn't as good as h
Chapter 1198
Lynette wanted to use Peter's case to turn her and Lucas against each other.How could she make Lucas lose his hostility towards Peter?Maybe she should try again. She could find another chance to talk to Lucas to tell him the full story...She was lost in thought for a long time. Suddenly, her phone rang, snapping her back to reality. The call was from Clara. "Serenity, how's it going with Peter? Yanny has been asking about Uncle Peter in the past few days.""It's not looking good. I'll keep looking for evidence to prove his innocence," Serenity said. Even though the chances were slim, she had to try."If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask," Clara said."Okay, "Serenity responded. When she hung up, she realized that she had walked to the Valor Group headquarters without realizing it!She had been there many times before, especially when she was working as a delivery rider in Clara's tiny restaurant. There was a time when Jackson liked to order a bunch of f
Chapter 1199
Thus, a strange scene formed outside the main entrance of the Valor Group headquarters. Serenity puked into a trash can while a security guard stood next to Serenity. Not far away, Jackson stood watching Serenity expressionlessly. Connor, Jackson's driver, and a few of the company's executives, as well as several security guards that came over to greet them, stood around Jackson.When Serenity finally emptied her stomach so she had nothing to vomit anymore, she looked up and found a bunch of people looking at her!It was the first time in her life she had such a large audience when she puked.And Jackson was among them!Today, he was wearing a black suit over a turtleneck sweater of the same color. He emanated a cold and unapproachable vibe.Serenity felt extremely embarrassed. She wanted to leave, but to get to the bus stop, she had to walk in Jackson's direction. She had no choice but to keep her head down and hurried away while wiping her mouth with a tissue.Jackson simply st
