Chapter 1667
The maid brought out the dinner, and Jacksoon took the cutleries and gracefully ate his meal. Serenity sat beside Jackson, watching him as he ate. He had good table manners, taking small bits he could chew and swallow easily. She wanted to talk to Jackson after the meal, but Jackson brought up the incident first before she even spoke. "You almost got hit by a flower pot today. I'm glad you're fine. I'll have more people follow you around."Serenity realized that either the bodyguard or the driver had reported the incident to him. "Okay," she agreed to his proposal. "I was lucky. The flower pot didn't hit me. I had the bodyguard check on the incident, but I don't know the result yet.""A cleaner threw it down," Jackson said."A cleaner?" Serenity was startled by the result. "You had someone look into it as well?""I'm concerned about you. Of course, I'll have to check!" Jackson said. "I'm glad you were fine today," Jackson added with relief. He would go crazy if something terri

'That's true, but…' Serenity thought, embarrassed. "Eat your food! You haven't finished your meal yet!" she barked out an excuse to save herself from embarrassment. "Okay," Jackson responded obediently. He put her hand down and picked up the cutleries again to finish his dinner. "Your hands. Does it hurt all the time?""I'm mostly fine. It only tends to hurt when it's wet and cold," Serenity said."Do you want to see Mr. Smith for a checkup?" Jackson asked.Serenity was surprised to hear Jackson mention Mr. Smith. "Y-You know Mr. Smith?"Jackson froze, realizing what he had said, and something flashed through his eyes. "Yeah. I do. I'm starting to remember some things from the past, and I remembered Mr. Smith.""You remembered some things from the past?" Serenity exclaimed, visibly shaken. "Just a little bit, not much," Jackson said calmly, his calmness contrasting her shock. "You want me to remember the past?""Of course! I want you to—" Serenity paused midsentence. Remember

Jackson put the file away, placing it on the coffee table. "Sure. Go ahead," he said carefreely.Serenity began to speak. "Well… It’s about Lark Jefferson, the man who recently sued Mr. Klein and me. He claimed that we falsified the lawsuit and landed him in jail. The district attorney might conduct some investigations related to the lawsuit, as a matter of course. They will question Mr. Klein and me, and—" "Uh, there might be some bad press, which might affect the Valor Group…" Serenity said, worried."Why? Afraid I'll misunderstand something?" Jackson pulled Serenity into his arms. "I know you respect Mr. Klein very much. He has helped you a lot in Latveria, and you have a good relationship with your mentor's wife. Don't worry about the Valor Group. The company won't be affected by a random person's slander. Otherwise, we would've been out of business long ago."Serenity was relieved by Jackson's words. The storm outside did not scare her. She was more afraid of another irreco

A chill ran through through Jackson as Serenity's words took hold. Stand aside coldly? Jackson had done the same to Serenity back then. He knew Serenity was innocent, but for the Valor family's benefit, he had taken no action and watched coldly.Serenity did not forgive Zeke for what he had done, but… Serenity had already forgiven Jackson five years ago. Was her forgiveness real, or was it just a lie? Had she recovered her memories? Or had she forgotten that she had forgiven him?!Jackson did not even dare to think about it.After a slight pause, Serenity added, "Zeke saved me this time. I'll thank him and repay him, but that's all. I'd do the same if a stranger had saved me.""What about me? Will you… Will you care about me? Sympathize with me?" Jackson suddenly said, his voice hoarse and croaky."What are you talking about?" Serenity mused for a moment, smiling. "You're my husband. I love you, and I care about you. But sympathy… Uh, that seems weird. Are you comparing yourself

Penny's face contorted in fury. Her colleagues quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Alright, Ms. Lewis. We're done for today. You may leave."Serenity got up and turned to leave.Penny's colleague looked at Penny in disbelief. "What's the matter with you? Your question was way out of line. As a prosecutor, we must stay neutral and be totally free from bias."Penny was furious. "Just because she's Mrs. Valor, she's acting all high and mighty!""As you said, she's Mrs. Valor. Do you think Jackson would forgive her for having an affair with Mr. Klein? Would she have been so confident about the case?" The colleague said, making Penny speechless for a moment.Reporters surrounded Serenity when she came out of the prosecutor's office, questioning her about her relationship with her mentor. The bodyguards around Serenity kept the reporters away from her, protecting her."Ms. Lewis! You were a nobody, but you quickly made it big and became a popular lawyer in Latveria. How did

"Mr. Valor… I-I was just talking nonsense… I-I didn't mean anything by it…" The reporter stammered.The people around them quickly put down their phones and cameras, not daring to take photos or videos of this incident. Jackson was the formidable Mr. Valor of Solaria. No one dared to take any photos or videos of him, or they might not be able to stay in Solaria any longer."Not gonna say it again?" Jackson hissed, his voice icy. "Then listen. Jacqueline is my daughter. I know my wife well and what kind of person she is. You can try and make all the news you want, but if you try to smear my family, my wife, or my daughter, you'll become an enemy to the Valor family!"Jackson had spoken. His words were meant not just for the reporter under his feet but also for those around him.The reporter responded against Jackson's feet, his chest hurting in pain. The people around them did not dare to say anything. Who would want to make an enemy of the Valor family?Jackson and Serenity finall

"When we find the mastermind behind this, you can do whatever you want and make him pay the price for his actions!" Jackson reassured. He was willing to do anything for her, whatever she wanted.Serenity stared at Jackson, stunned by how he would spoil her and give her whatever she wanted."It seems you'll help with whatever I want. Aren't you afraid? What if I want to do something bloody and violent? What if I want to kill that person?" Serenity joked."I will, if that's what you want," Jackson responded with a serious look. He would do anything to grant her wish, even if it meant getting his hands bloody."No!" Serenity hurriedly rejected that notion. She met his gaze and said sternly, "I'm just kidding, Jack. I don't want you to dirty your hands for me. Don't ever do it.""Okay," Jackson gently promised, but something flashed in his eyes, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.-Gwen was in a good mood. Serenity and her mentor were hot news lately, all thanks to Jefferson. The
Chapter 1674
Mary Klein, the wife of Serenity's mentor, Edward Klein, even made a post online, questioning Jefferson on the purpose behind his actions. It was unfair for this to happen to the lawyers who had helped victims redress their grievances. If this continued, fewer righteous and generous lawyers would be willing to help in such cases, and allowing someone who slandered another person's reputation out of spite to walk away scot-free without any punishment would be very disappointing to many lawyers.These posts immediately became viral, and those who were on Jefferson's side switched sides after reading so many lawyers' well-reasoned analyses. Many lawyers said they would never have taken on Jefferson's case, and Lark Jefferson was now a public enemy of the lawyers' association! Some netizens even found the records of the live videos from the cases Serenity had taken on in Latveria, where she had won the cases wonderfully. As a result, Serenity gained many fans online. Her new fans praise
