    “Why not?” Jackson asked in reply.


    “I would eventually have to marry someone in my life. Would an early orte 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?

    “But now, I think It’d be nice to marry a woman I find interesting,” Jackson added with a smile, his


    zing gaze her


    focused on


    Jackson’s words seemed to imply something, and Serenity turned away ufortably. 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 bestwyer to help. Thewyer should be able to overturn it after


    finding the loopholes in the case.


    Gloom reced the sparkle in her eyes. Serenity understood what he meant. Under the presumption of


    innocence, every person used 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


    she had truly proved her true innocence.


    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 ident. Why did all the witnesses


    testify that I drank? What’s with the evidence? The police did a blond test on meter. 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?”Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
