Jackson’s eyes glimmered. “It may be true that he hurt you, but he’s having a hard time too. If it wasn’t for his cooperation, we wouldn’t have been able to catch him so soon. He returned from abroad and surrendered himself to the authorities after learning that the authorities had resumed their investigation on this case.” Of course, he deliberately left out the extreme measures he had taken to ensure that Yuri surrendered himself to the authorities. “A hard time?” sneered Serenity. “So what if he’s having a hard time? Am I supposed to feel bad for him now? It’s like asking a murder victim to forgive her murderer. Don’t you find it absurd? It’s a miracle that I survived my prison sentence. Had I died in that place, I wouldn’t have been able to stand before him today!” Every word she said hurt his heart like a whip. For a moment, he found it hard to breathe. “So... you will never forgive him, is that right?” murmured Jackson. “That’s right! I will never forgive a person who h

“What’s the matter with this place?” asked Jackson, whose voice had grown hoarse all of a sudden. “When I was young, I often came here to play!” said Serenity. “Although the adults said this place was dangerous and forbade us from playing here, I still snuck up the hillside. At the time, I felt like I was a true adventurer!” Compared to her, Lynette wasn’t particularly fond of playing here. “You were a kid, after all,” said Jackson. “Back then, I thought I’d come across some ground-breaking secret here, like a treasure chest, a UFO, or maybe a time machine. Sounds silly, doesn’t it?” she asked. Perhaps in an adult’s eyes, the woods beyond the hill were not that big. However, to a child, it was practically a whole new world to explore. “No, I find it incredibly adorable,” said Jackson. “But now that you’ve grown up, you realize that this is just another hillside. Let’s go. It’s getting late. I’m worried that it’ll be quite late by the time we return to Solaria.” Serenity n

Jackson lowered his head and gazed at her leaning on his shoulder. If she knew the truth, he wondered... if she would still think the same about meeting him. Probably not. When Serenity was sound asleep, he gently picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. After placing her softly on the bed, he gently stroked her face and ran his fingers through her hair. “Serenity, everything ends here, okay?” The truth of the case shall end here. As for her past with Lucas, that too ends here. No more pursuing these two matters. It was for the best. ***The sudden overturning of Serenity’s conviction caught the internet by storm thanks to the reporters. For a while, a heated discussion went on. Back then, Serenity was merely a rookie attorney who was falsely accused and convicted of a crime she didn’t commit. The discussion focused more on her ex-boyfriend, Zeke, and his current girlfriend, Jenny. The reporter who had broken the news had gone and interviewed Jenny about it, yet

The man would not stop talking, and everything he said was in defense of Jenny Hall. He appeared to be a fan of Jenny Hall.With a slight frown, Serenity grabbed the two books she picked out and walked over to the cash register to pay for them. She would look for Lisa after paying.However, the man would not back off. He kept pestering Serenity to announce to the public that she had forgiven Jenny. He even took out his phone to film Serenity.Serenity's frown deepened. "You have no right to film me without my consent!""You're saying that because you feel guilty! It's my phone, I can film whatever I want with it! Why haven't you responded to Jenny's apology yet? Is it because you're looking to rekindle your relationship with Zeke Shaw? That must be it, right?!"The man hurled accusations at Serenity as if he was deliberately trying to get a reaction out of her.Serenity paid for her purchase in a hurry. She wanted to look for Lisa, but more and more people started crowding around

"What job do you want to do?" he asked her at the time. For him, everything came so easily. He never had to put in hard work to get anything he wanted.Some people were simply born with everything.Working was something that he had not even thought about.But this girl, who was a year or two younger than him, was already thinking about that kind of thing?"I don't know yet, but I want to do something that can bring justice to the world. I want a job that will let me protect not only myself, but also the people I love!" she said in her childish voice.Justice?He was born in a prestigious family, so he grew up knowing that there was no such thing as absolute justice. The so-called justice was sometimes just a lie.But her eyes were really serious, so he could not tell her that.After years had passed, when he finally found the little girl from back then, he found that Lynette Blossom was not doing anything that would bring justice to the world. She no longer had that righteous l
