“okay,” answered Serenity.
After Serenity put her phone away, Jackson asked, “Was it Lisa?”
“Yeah.”
“Did she ask Terry White to help you look into your case?” he inquired further.
“Not exactly,” answered Serenity, “She only asked Terry White to help me investigate one of the witnesses who’s in San Marco right now. She said the witness is currently detained by the police, so there might be a way to get some information out of him. We’re planning to go to San Marco tomorrow.”
Although Lisa didn’t go into detail, Serenity knew some of the tricks of the trade since she used to be a lawyer.
How could it be that easy to get words out of someone in custody? There’s no way Lisa was capable of doing that. It must be Terry White at work again.
The problem was, Lisa now owed Terry White another favor even though this was Serenity’s problem.
How much had Lisa sacrificed for her by now? Would she ever be able to pay Lisa back‘ Serenity thought about it with a heavy heart. She did not notice the glint in Jackson’s eyes. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“I’ll go with you,” said Jackson
“You don’t have to. Lisa’s coming with me,” said Serenity.
“You’re my girlfriend. Of course I have to go with you. It’s decided. I’ll go with you tomorrow,” Jackson said adamantly.
His hands that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly as he came up with a plan.
That evening, Lisa confirmed the time with Serenity on the phone. Serenity said, “By the way… Jack – I mean Jackson – wants to go with us.”
“What?” Lisa sounded surprised. “He wants to go too?”
“Yeah. Can he?” asked Serenity.
“Well, sure. I don’t see why not. But… we should all go in one car. It’s easier to talk if we’re all in the same car. Also, with one car, someone else can take the wheel if the driver gets tired.”
“Okay, I’ll tell him,” replied Serenity. After she hung up, she suddenly felt nervous.
Would they be able to find out the truth from the witness tomorrow? Would she finally find out why he accused her of drinking? Would she find out who set her up?
When she was a lawyer, she was able to help others seek the truth and fight in court, yet she could not discover the truth in her own case. She found the irony of the situation ridiculous and pathetic.
Meanwhile, in the study, Jackson was telling Connor, “Go to San Marco. The police there have arrested a man with the surname York. He’s one of the witnesses in Serenity’s case, Serenity will go see him tomorrow. I want you to make sure he understands what he can say and what he can’t.”
“Yes, Mr. Valor,” Connor responded. Then, with some hesitation, he asked, “You don’t plan to let Ms. Lewis know the truth?”
