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
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
Joy was completely different from who she was five years ago. She was still wearing branded clothes, but they were probably the clothes she used to wear before the Shaw family's downfall. Her branded clothes were from a luxury brand, but they were old and outdated.Joy's hair was messily tied with an elastic band. Her hair seemed a little unhealthy, no longer carefully maintained as before.When the siblings saw the car approaching, they stopped pulling each other. Serenity got out of the car and looked at the siblings. "What are you two doing here? Do you need something from me?"Joy rushed forward, shouting at Serenity, "Serenity! My brother saved your life, and all you did was pay his medical bills! You never showed any gratitude! Is this how you treat someone who saved you?"Zeke quickly pulled Joy with his uninjured hand. "Joy, let's go back! I'm the one who refused. I didn't need anything from her.""Zeke! We need money now! You got injured, and now you can't work for more t
Serenity was finally back at the Valor Residence. She hesitated for a moment before instructing the bodyguard following her around, "I want to know more about Zeke's mother. Get someone to find out Marcia Shaw's condition and the gap in her medical expenses." "Yes," the bodyguard responded. It did not take Serenity long to learn about Marcia's current situation. According to the investigation report, Marcia was diagnosed with a kidney disease. She did not require uremia dialysis yet, but her condition was pretty serious. Marcia's monthly medical expenses used to cost her about 300 dollars for the conservative treatment. She had been hospitalized some time ago, and she would need approximately 15 thousand dollars to undergo the treatment plan proposed by the hospital.15 thousand dollars. It was a lot of money for the Shaw family in their current situation, and Marcia owed the hospital 3 thousand dollars for her outstanding medical expenses.Serenity mused for a moment and thoug
