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

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.

for him.
“There’s no rush.” Jackson took her by the arm and slowly bent down, leveling t its gaze on her. “Hey,

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,

Jackson’s face gradually darkened. Coldness seemed to be looming in his dark eyes. “I’ll help overturn
