Chapter 209
“Why not?” Jackson asked in reply.
“I would eventually have to marry someone in my life. Would an early or late marriage make a
difference? Besides, Mira is quiet and obedient enough. An arranged marriage with the Hall family
would help the Valor family’s business in the shipping industry, so why not?”
Serenity felt a little unsettled listening to Jackson’s business mindset.
Jackson spoke as if he had no love at all. Event marriage was just business to him. For a m
a man like him, what was important to
him?

Jackson’s words seemed to imply something, and Serenity turned away uncomfortably. She told herself
not to overthink. Both of them were simply living in two different worlds. They were very different. She
thought it would be unlikely for them to cross paths again after giving him the gloves.
“Oh, um “Serenity said hurriedly, “I’ll give you the gloves.” She tried to walk past him to get the gloves
for him.
“There’s no rush.” Jackson took her by the arm and slowly bent down, leveling t its gaze on her. “Hey,
Sis. You haven’t answered my question. Do you want to reopen the case?”
Of course she would. Why would she not? If she remained guilty as charged, she would bear this crime
for the rest of her life. She would not be able to regain her dignity,
Even so. “I want to, so?” She asked in reply.
“If you really want to overturn the conviction, I can help you,” Jackson proposed.
Serenity was shocked. “Do you really believe me? That I wasn’t drunk driving back then?”
“Whether
you were drunk driving or not doesn’t matter to me,” Jackson nurtured. “We have to remove yo
drunk driving charges. I can get the best lawyer to help. The lawyer should be able to overturn it after
finding the loopholes in the case.
Gloom replaced the sparkle in her eyes. Serenity understood what he meant. Under the presumption of
innocence, every person accused of any crime was considered innocent until proven guilty. If there was
reasonable doubt, she would have the chance to overturn the conviction. Even so, that did not mean

The case reversal and the suspect’s innocence would always be controversial.
“What do you think, Sis? You don’t like it?” Jackson naturally saw the change in her expression.
“I want to find out the truth, I want to know what’s the cause of the accident. Why did all the witnesses
testify that I drank? What’s with the evidence? The police did a blond test on me later. Why did it show
that I was indeed drunk driving…”
Her series of questions were the doubts she had held all these years.
If these queries remained unsolved, she would bear the crime forever. Even if she was truly innocent,
she would remain at criminal in the hearts of others after overturning the conviction
Jackson’s face gradually darkened. Coldness seemed to be looming in his dark eyes. “I’ll help overturn
the conviction for you. Is the truth really that important to you?”
