She also could not understand why Mira Hall’s car would come crashing towards hers.
She also could not understand why all the witnesses said she was in the wrong.
She was fighting against the world. All the evidence and witnesses back then pointed to her being the perpetrator.
After all, Mira Hall was going to marry Jackson Valor soon. She had no reason to crash her car into Serenity’s to kill herself.
“Are you trying to overturn the case?” Jackson asked.
Serenity smiled self–deprecatingly. “I’m just a little unsatisfied, that’s all. It’s not that easy to overturn a case. Besides, I’ve already been released from prison. All right, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ll help you blow your hair dry.”
She put the documents away, grabbed the hair dryer, and helped him blow his wet hair dry.
A darkness gradually crept into Jackson’s eyes…
The next day, Connor found that his boss‘ hair… seemed to have been trimmed, but he did not remember scheduling an appointment with a hair stylist for him.
“What’s wrong?” asked Jackson, probably because Connor had stared at him for too long.
“Mr. Valor, you haven’t had a haircut in a while. Should I book an appointment with a hair stylist for you?” asked Connor.
“No, Serenity just trimmed my hair for me yesterday.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Serenity… That’s Serenity Lewis, right? But what’s even more surprising was that Mr. Valor actually… let Serenity trim his hair. His hair was usually designed and taken care of by top hair stylists.
But Serenity Lewis… was just a sanitation worker. And in the past, she was a lawyer. She’s not a hair stylist.
“It looks pretty good, doesn’t it?” Jackson flicked his fringe back. He seemed to be quite satisfied with it.
Connor’s mouth twitched. Mr. Valor was very picky when it came to his hair. He wondered how the top hair stylists who received negative reviews from Mr. Valor would feel if they knew that they had lost to a sanitation worker.
Lisa Quest visited Serenity at noon. The two had lunch together in a small noodle restaurant near the Sanitation Office.
“Why didn’t you tell me about Jenny Hall making you rummage through the trash?” Lisa complained. She only found out through the news even though Serenity was her friend.
“It’s no big deal,” Serenity said with a smile.
Seeing her good friend like this made Lisa feel a bit sad for some reason.
The Serenity Lewis of the past was absolutely amazing, as if she was favored by the goddess of luck. At school, she was always an outstanding top student. After graduating, she was hired by the best law firm in the city. She even dated the young master of the Shaw family!
Almost everyone envied her. Who would have thought that one day, she would have to rummage through trash?
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Seeing her friend’s gaze, Serenity could not help but sigh. “I’m fine. Really. I just rummaged through some trash, that’s all. Besides, I knew that it was all an act, so I didn’t do it seriously.”
“Jenny Hall has gone too far. Not only did she do all those things to you in prison, she still wanted to make things difficult for you after you got out,” Lisa said angrily.
Serenity fell silent. She suffered a lot of hardship in prison. Some of it was caused by the people who wanted to please Jackson Valor, and some of it was caused by the people hired by the Hall family.
