"Let's see. I don't think anyone would try to humiliate you again," Jackson said nonchalantly. He gazed at Serenity with a gentle look on his face, smiling. "Besides, I'm all yours. What's the big deal about this?""But... ""If you really care, how about I let someone else be more embarrassed than you? Then you won't have to worry about it," Jackson said leisurely. Serenity did not know how to react. Besides, that was not the point at all.Soon, the car arrived at the venue for the trade show. Serenity had done her research before. Surely, many famous entrepreneurs from Solaria and other cities would attend the trade show.Trade shows such as this could promote cooperation and help many entrepreneurs expand their networks. The minimum requirement to receive an invitation to the trade show was set relatively high. Many small and medium-sized business owners could not obtain the invitation. Some people would even pay high prices to purchase an invitation online. After all, it was

The incident had devastated Serenity. She was heartbroken.Serenity's condition had improved after laborious medical and physical therapy to treat her fingers and joints. It had been a while since her fingers had last hurt.Seeing Zeke and Jenny again, however, reminded her of the pain. Jenny had tortured her by pulling out all her fingernails. The memories of the torture returned, hurting her hand again.A pair of hands wrapped around her trembling hands. "Your hands are so cold," said the elegant voice."I-I'm fine. It's just a sudden pain in my hand. I'll be fine in a while," Serenity said, realizing the pain she felt was less of a physical pain. Instead, it was more of a psychological pain. Jackson frowned slightly. He cupped his hands around hers and breathed softly into her hands.It was already July, so Jackson's action seemed very bizarre in the fully air-conditioned exhibition hall. Jackson rarely appeared in front of the media. Even so, many guests who came to the tr

Jenny thought she had finally won against Serenity at one point. Seeing the new Serenity, she wondered if this was really the Serenity she knew. Was she the same woman she had trampled over before?!"Better?" Jackson asked with concern. Serenity was his only priority at this moment. Feeling the soft puffs of breath warming her hand, Serenity felt the pain in her hand fading away."Yeah. Much better." Serenity let out a deep breath.Jackson studied her face. Indeed, she seemed less pale. "I'll have the doctor examine your hands again. Your hands haven't recovered at all.""Actually, it's gotten much better." Serenity explained, "Maybe the pain earlier was just a psychological reaction. That's why my hands hurt.""So, it's because of Zeke and Jenny," Jackson stated. "Do your hands hurt because they almost ruined them once?"Serenity was stunned for a moment and lowered her gaze almost immediately. Yeah. He must have investigated her when he approached her. How could he not know?

Serenity was determined to use reasonable and legal means to seek justice for herself. She wanted to be worthy of the lawyer robe she wore, not wanting to put the years she spent studying law to waste! Jackson fixed his gaze at Serenity, slightly stunned. He could hardly take his eyes off her. Serenity seemed stronger, prettier. Without him realizing, she had been constantly changing, morphing into a better person.'Oh, Serenity. Why not rely on me a little more?' Jackson thought. Perhaps Serenity was finally showing her true self."But if you let them go, it's too easy for them," Jackson said. "Why don't I make them regret what they did to you now?"Before Serenity could react, Jackson took Serenity's hand and led her to Zeke and Jenny.Many people around them recognized Zeke and Jenny. After all, Jenny was a big star and always in the spotlight. As Jenny's fiance, Zeke had gained much more media exposure than any ordinary entrepreneur. Seeing Jackson approaching with Serenity

Jenny had harmed her. How could she tell the victim to forget about the past? Who are you to say that, Jenny?Jenny's face hardened into an ugly expression. "Ms. Lewis, I'm all for peace and harmony.""I don't think we'll ever make peace," retorted Serenity.Jenny wanted to say something else, but Jackson stopped her. "Serenity has spoken, so there is no forgiveness."Jenny was so startled for a moment. She shook and almost fell. Zeke quickly gave his fiancee a hand, steadying her.Serenity turned to Jackson. "Jack. Let's go elsewhere." She felt very uncomfortable dealing with the two people who had hurt her."Okay," Jackson agreed and led her away. The couple turned around to leave. Then, Zeke suddenly apologized, "Serenity, I'm so sorry."Serenity paused slightly and slowed down, but she never looked back. His apology had been meaningless, particularly after he had agreed with Jenny's cruel treatment of her.Jackson, however, turned his head and gave Zeke a cold, sidelong l

Jackson had looked back at Zeke with a warning gaze earlier. The warning alone was more than enough to make Zeke realize that he’d better stop thinking about Serenity. Otherwise, Jackson would take him down.Even so… When Zeke realized that Serenity had been wrongly accused and put in prison, he could not resist thinking about the possibilities. What would his future with Serenity be like without the accident and the lawsuit?No matter how he thought about it, he could no longer get close to Serenity. Maybe she would eventually become someone higher than him.***Meanwhile, on the other side. Jackson looked at Serenity and asked, "Still angry about what Jenny said?"Serenity nodded. "Kinda. I know she's just apologizing because of you. She even demanded my forgiveness after giving a false apology. It's just ridiculous. How hypocritical of her."Jenny had done so much harm to her. How could she make up with such a weak apology?! Jackson took Serenity's hand again and studied her
Chapter 711
Jackson led Serenity forward. Wilson could not help but be slightly surprised when he saw them. "Hello again. I didn't expect Mr. Valor to be interested in this trade show.""I'm here today to meet Ms. Hale," Jackson stated. He turned to Wendy and introduced, "Hello, Ms. Hale. I'm Jackson Valor. Meet my fiancee, Serenity. She has always wanted to meet you.""Meet me?" Wendy was surprised to hear Jackson mention her name. 'Jackson Valor! Isn't he the most powerful man in Solaria?' Wendy thought. Although he was the most fearful man in Solaria, Jackson Valor was younger and more elegant than she had expected. Wendy then shifted her gaze to Serenity. When she was coming to Solaria, she had paid attention to the news from Solaria. The successfully overturned case from almost four years ago had been the talk in the legal industry."I know you," Wendy said to Serenity. Serenity froze for a moment. Then, she realized that Wendy had to be talking about her case!Wendy was about fort

Wilson might not even care about his son, but Clare could not risk her chances. He might take Yanny away from her!"Probably because I quite like the child," Wilson said, a smile spreading across his usually stern face. "I happened to be here again, and I wondered if I'd ever see the boy again."'Wilson wanted to meet Yanny again?' Serenity's nose suddenly felt a little sore.Wilson was the one who had made Clare so miserable. He was the reason why Yanny had been born without a father. Clare had struggled in prison while Wilson was living a luxurious life.Wilson said he wanted to see Yanny again. The son he never knew existed. All of this seemed like a great irony."No," Serenity refused at once, almost like a reflex.Wilson was a little surprised by her fast rejection. She seemed very resolute. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes."Is that too much trouble? In that case, you can just give me the contact information. I'll go over and pay a visit myself. I'm planning to buy so
