Serenity was astonished, but she quickly understood what Jackson was trying to say.
At the time, Mira was the heiress of her family and the acting President of the Hall Group. Although she had another sister, it was known to everyone that Jenny intended to work on her career as an actress. Mira, on the other hand, was raised to take over the family business,
What’s more, she used to be Jackson’s fiance.
More than anything, he feared that he might have to face the wrath of both their families.
When she thought about this explanation, Serenity quickly realized why Yuri was willing to go through so much trouble to frame her
Looking at the evidence that was laid before her, she knew that once they filed the appeal, the chances of overturning her conviction were incredibly high. The only problemn now was the fact that Yuri was hiding abroad.
Even if she succeeded, it would be difficult to bring him to justice. After all, it was likely that he had picked a place with no extradition treaties with their country.
As if capable of reading her mind, Jackson assured her, “Don’t worry. Even if he’s hiding abroad, I’ll make sure he comes back and confesses to his crime.”
Something told her that since he had said it that way, it would definitely happen.
After confirming that there weren’t any problems with the upcoming appeal, Serenity put her signature down on the document.
Now that the formalities were done, the attomey whom Serenity had worked under said to her, “You’ve suffered enough all these years. It’ll only be a while before your reputation is restored. When your license to practice is reissued, we’ll be more than happy to have you back here.”
Serenity responded with a smile, but she remained silent.
The attorney was about to say something else when she turned to Jackson and said, “Jack, I’m getting tired”
“Let’s go, then.”
Leading her by her hand, Jackson left the place with Serenity. After they had left, the lawyers in the office exchanged glances awkwardly.
When they reached the car, he said to her, “If you’re tired, why don’t you catch some sleep in the car?”
“No need “Serenity shook her head. “Let’s pa drink.”
“You mean alcohol?” asked Jackson with a raised brow.
“Yeah. It’s just a spur–of–the–moment thing!” she exclaimed.
“Okay. Is there a place you have in mind?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Let’s to a bar. The one I used to visit back in college”
Jackson smiled at her. “Sure. We’ll go there, then.”
That bar wasn’t usually that busy in the afternoon, but there were still some people drinking inside. There was nothing particularly special about the bar apart from the fact that Serenity used to vi

She was surprised that it was still standing after so many years.
They found a table closer to the back of the place and ordered some wine.
Jackson uncorked the wine himself and poured a glass for Serenity. “Strong liquors are bad for you. Compared to that, red wine is pretty healthy II enjoyed in moderation.”
Serenity raised her glass at him and took a sip. The sweetness of the grapes paired perfectly with the bitterness of the alcohol. Even after she swallowed, a mellow aftertaste continued to linger in her throat.
This was a pretty good wine!
