Chapter 685


    Chapter 685


    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


    cing 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 inte 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 used and convicted of a crime


    she didn’tmit. 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 she wasn’t even


    aware of the court’s decision. What’s more, she didn’t express any opinions upon learning of the truth.


    That prompted inte users to bombard Jenny’s social media for her opinion on the overturning of


    Serenity’s conviction.


    Some even took clips from the press conference when Jenny dered that she would never forgive


    Serenity or the variety of nastyments she had made about her and shared them around the


    inte.


    Subsequently, Jenny issued a public statement that she had only learned of Serenity’s wrongful


    conviction and rified that she had only made those statements because of the court’s decision. She


    also indicated that she was willing to apologize to Serenity for the words she had said.


    Then, Jenny released a video of her public apology. It was a short video of her saying to the camera,


    “Serenity, I apologize for the statements and remarks I made about you.”


    Apart from that, she said nothing more.


    Many thought that her apology was too simple.

    A part of the crowd thought that since Serenity had been innocent all this while, what Jenny had done


    was tantamount to stealing someone’s romantic partner. They even went as far as to attack her for


    being cruel and kicking someone while they were down.


    On the other hand, Jenny’s fans defended her adamantly. If anything, these people should me the


    people who had issued the wrong judgment, false witnesses, and Yuri Volkov, not Jenny.


    In short, the debate on the inte was rather passionate.


    There were some people who asked Zeke online if he would choose Serenity again now that she was


    proven innocent.


    Zeke responded personally to these questions. “These things happened in the past. I just want to


    cherish what I have in the


    present.”


    It was only after reading the news that Lisa found out her best friend had been acquitted. Without dy,


    she rang up her friend. “Why didn’t you tell me about your acquittal?!”


    “Didn’t I ask to meet up tomorrow? I was nning to break it to you then!” replied Serenity.


    “Well, you should’ve said it sooner! If it weren’t for the news, I wouldn’t even know about it!”


    “I’m worried that your happiness will be in vain if it doesn’t work out in the end.”


    Serenity knew how much Lisa had done for her, so she didn’t want to trouble her anymore with her own


    affairs.
