Chapter 629
Serenity finished washing her hands and was drying them with a paper towel when she noticed a figure walk up to her from behind. The other person was just as surprised as she was. “Serenity? What are you doing here?!” Serenity never thought she would bump into Liliana here. Instead of the suit she used to wear, she was dressed more like a janitor. “What? Is there a problem with me being here?” snapped Serenity harshly. Ever since Liliana had assigned her case to the newcomers at the firm, the seed of hatred had been sowed deep in Serenity’s heart. Back then, she used to think Liliana was just pettier than her other colleagues, but her “cruelty” turned out to be far more than she had anticipated. Liliana glared angrily at Serenity. It was now her turn to be the laughingstock of the firm. From an attorney, she had been demoted to a janitor. All this had happened thanks to Serenity. Who would have expected Lucas to retaliate for her sake?On the second day, she was ordered
Chapter 630:
Liliana felt her cheek burn up as half her face went numb due to the slap. When she turned to face the person who had attacked her, she came face-to-face with Serenity’s boyfriend. “How... how dare you hit me?!” stuttered Liliana. “Am I not allowed to?” Jackson sneered back at her. The spiteful look in his gaze was a rare sight, even for Serenity. Yet here it was, on full display. “I-I’m helping you out here! You don’t even know that Serenity’s having an affair with Lucas Gomez! They...” Liliana endured the pain and tried her best to produce those words. And yet, she hadn’t finished speaking when she received another tight slap across the face. In mere seconds, Liliana’s cheeks were bright red. She could even taste the blood in her mouth. No doubt, that man didn’t hold back when he slapped her. However, that was nothing compared to how frightening his glare was. Those were... the eyes of a killer! In fact, something told her that this man was capable of killing her with t
Chapter 631
As Jackson and the rest of the attorneys entered the conference room, the firm receptionist walked up to Liliana and demanded, “Give me your phone. I need to collect the recording you made just now.” “For what?” Liliana clutched her phone stubbornly. She was no fool. How could she hand over such a damning piece of evidence so easily?! The receptionist looked down at her as if she was staring at a fool. “It’s because the man you pissed off just now was Jackson Valor. The fact that I’m asking you to hand over your phone voluntarily is already a privilege. As long as you stop insulting Serenity from now on, they won’t do anything to you. Otherwise...” “What did you just say? That man was Jackson Valor?!” The receptionist was cut off mid-sentence. “That’s right. Mr. Valor brought Serenity here today to overturn her conviction!” Liliana’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Jackson... how could that man possibly be Serenity’s boyfriend?! It was impossible! The victim
Chapter 632
Serenity was astonished, but she quickly understood what Jackson was trying to say. At the time, Mira was the heiress of her family and the acting President of the Hall Group. Although she had another sister, it was known to everyone that Jenny intended to work on her career as an actress. Mira, on the other hand, was raised to take over the family business. What’s more, she used to be Jackson’s fiance. More than anything, he feared that he might have to face the wrath of both their families. When she thought about this explanation, Serenity quickly realized why Yuri was willing to go through so much trouble to frame her. Looking at the evidence that was laid before her, she knew that once they filed the appeal, the chances of overturning her conviction were incredibly high. The only problem now was the fact that Yuri was hiding abroad. Even if she succeeded, it would be difficult to bring him to justice. After all, it was likely that he had picked a place with no extraditi

Serenity enjoyed the wine sip by sip, allowing it to marinate the inside of her mouth. Jackson drank along with her, filling her glass whenever it was empty. “Jack, don’t you feel life can be a little ridiculous sometimes?” murmured Serenity as she swirled the wine in her glass. “What do you mean?” “You see, back when I was first charged with the offense, every bit of evidence tied me to the crime. No matter what I said, everything was somehow refuted by cold hard evidence. In the three years I spent behind bars, I couldn’t help but ponder the truth behind this case. Who was it that did this to me? Can you imagine how much trouble one has to go through to build up such an impressive case...” A self-deprecating smile appeared on Serenity’s face.”I even analyzed everyone I knew, trying to figure out what I did to earn such a deep-seated hatred.” Every word that came out of her mouth struck his heart like a sledgehammer, causing him to wince inwardly with pain. She raised he

Jackson carefully dissected the meal and placed little bites into her mouth. If someone he knew were to witness this scene, their jaw would have dropped to the floor. After all, how could the high-and-mighty Jackson Valor dote over someone like this?! This scene naturally turned into the centerpiece of the bar. By this point, it was already evening, and the place was gradually filling up with people. It went without saying that this couple attracted quite a bit of attention. Jackson’s physical appearance made him the prime choice for the female patrons to strike up a conversation with. What made their hearts throb even more was the sight of him feeding Serenity so earnestly.To have a man like him look at you with so much affection in his eyes was a dream many longed for. Because of this, despite Serenity being by his side, many women were eager to try their luck with Jackson. After all, the bar was a place where miracles happened. It wasn’t long before a beautiful lady
Chapter 635
The woman exclaimed inwardly at how scary this man had turned out to be. At that moment, she decided it was time to retreat. After all, there were plenty of fish in the sea! “I think... I think I’ll leave you guys alone...” she said with a mischievous smile. “Hold on.” The woman was about to walk away when Serenity called out to her. Judging from her expression, she looked slightly annoyed. Hold on? Like hell she was gonna continue hanging around their table. The woman ignored Serenity and continued walking away. In the end, it was Jackson’s voice that commanded her to stop in her tracks. “She told you to stop.” Huh? The woman was stunned. Before she could react, two burly men came up and blocked her path. Then, they forcefully escorted her back to their table.At this point, she regretted her decision to hit on this guy. From the looks of it, this man wasn’t the type she could afford to mess around with. Only God knew what lay ahead of her tonight. “Umm... let’s not r
Chapter 636
Did this man really belong to her? Serenity failed to realize that she had said her thoughts aloud, because a moment later, she heard him say, “Yes, I am yours.” His voice was as beautiful as the sound of nature. Her lips instinctively made their way toward his. If he belonged to her, then... she should be able to kiss him whenever she wanted to! ***In the bar, the woman was still haunted by a lingering fear following her run-in with Jackson. That man... just who was he? To have bodyguards employed, he was no average Joe. While he was carrying his drunk girlfriend away, she noticed the wristwatch he was wearing and immediately recognized that it was a limited edition from a major luxury brand. If she recalled correctly, they had only made three of these across the world, and they cost... tens of millions of dollars each!She must’ve made a mistake, or maybe that man was just wearing a knockoff.But... what if he was wearing the real thing?! The thought of that possibili
