Chapter 467
Quinton and Demetria Hall had completely lost the previous haughtiness they had displayed with Serenity when they acted as if they could easily step all over her.
But now, it was their tum to be the worthless bugs!
Jenny, being a professional actress, was now the one who could best conceal her real feelings among the three of them. She put on a guilty look and said, “Jackson, my parents bumped into Seren–Miss Lewis at the mall today, and they lost their temper and treated her a little too aggressively, so we came here to apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness in person.”
It was hard for Jenny to utter the words “Miss Lewis, After all, she had always despised that woman. Serenity was as worthless to her, yet she had to face herself to address this won respectfully now. It felt as if her dignity was being trampled on!
“Really?” asked Jackson calmly. His deep dark eyes were unfathomable No one could tell what he was really feeling inside.” They lost their temper, huh? Why don’t you tell me what she did to make them lose their temper?”
Unpredictable. That was how people always described Jackson Valor, the emperor of Solaria. There were not even a handful of people in this city who could truly guess what was actually on his mind.
But Jackson! Demetria blurted out in an accusing tone. “She.. She’s the murderer who killed Mira! How could we not lose dun temper? Back then, it was she who had cased Mira’s death! How.. How could you be with a woman the that?! Mira will never rest in peace if you do this!!!
As she spoke those last sentences, both Quinton and Jenny’s looks changed. They wanted to stop Demetris from continuing. but it was too late. Their eyes then turned to jackson, whose face had
already darkened. Their hearts sank because they knew that it was a grave mistake to have said those words.
Quinton, who had always been a sly fox in the world of business, was better at reading the situation than the other two. A man like Jackson Valor would certainly believe that it was his complete freedom to be with any woman he liked, and it had nothing to do with the fact that he used to be engaged to Mira Hallat all. In fact, even if he was tried to Mira, it was still his right to be with any wornan he liked, and Quinton and Demetria had no power to do anything about it.
Just as he expected, Jackson glared coldly at Demetria and demanded, “When did you have any say in who I want to be with?”
Demetria shuddered. She instantly regained her senses and malized what an impulsive thing she had just done! She should never have said those things, yet how could she not? How could she just accept the fact that the woman who had killed her daughter was now with the man her daughter was supposed to marry?!
Gritting her teeth, Demetria once again asked, ‘Don’t you remember how much Mira used to love you, Jackson? Are you really going to disregard her now?! If you really end up with that murderer, Mira will turn into a joke in the eyes of the public! Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“That’s mough,” Jackson sneered. “Stop calling her a murderer. She’s not a murderer, and she had absolutely nothing to do with Mira Hall’s death!”
As soon as he uttered those words, Quinton and jenny both stared at Jackson in shock.
“How could that be?! yelled Demetria. “Even the court convicted her back then!‘
A cryptic half–smile cropped up on Jackson’s face. His gaze turned to Quinton, who was standing beside Demetrial
“I said she had nothing to do with it,” he declared, “so it means that she had nothing to do with it, do you understand? From now on, I don’t want to hear any of you call her a murderer ever again.”
Quinton’s face turned pale instantly. Even his bigs trembled slightly.
Demetria seemed to have mure to say, but quinton quickly pulled her ashle and stopped her.
“Yes,” he told Jackson, “we understand, Could you let Miss Lewis see us for a whille sa we can apologize to her for what we did today?!
Quinton had been in business for many years, so he naturally understood the true wisdom of being flexible. Although the Hall
family was one of the most prestigious families in Selaria, they were absolutely in no position to go head–to–head against such a powerful family as the Valors. So, the best thing to do at the moment was to give in to Jackson, Besides, there was still something else.. When Quinton thought of what happened all those years ago, he was suddenly washed over by a conflicted max of feeling.
