Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife

Chapter 275
“No one will fire you,” he assured her with full confidence. “Just rest and let your fingers heal. Besides, what do you think you can do at work when you can’t even pick anything up with your hands? How are you going to sweep the streets?”
Serenity hung her head low and fell silent. At the moment, with her hands like this, she truly could not do anything at all.
“Just let your hands heal,” said Jackson, and you can do anything you like after that.”
Then, he looked like he suddenly thought of something and asked her, “Are you going to meet Lisa this evening? Why don’t you change the date and wait for your hands to get better?”
Anyone who knew Jackson Valor would have been shocked to hear what he had just said. The most mysterious and unfathomable man in Solaria certainly never shown such a level of concern for a woman whose hands were injured!

If it had been anyone else, they could stand before him covered in blood and on the brink of death and he still would show no sign of pity or concer
“No,” she insisted firmly, “I must go meet her this evening. It sounded like Lasa’s got new information about a witness in my case all those years ago. I must go see her and talk about what she’s found.”
As she spoke, she failed to notice his change of expression and how his hands, which had been hanging by his sides, were now slowly clenched into balls of fists
“Information about a witness?”
“Mmhmm,” she nodded. “But I need to ask Lisa about the specifics.”
“So, you’re determined to find the clues and solve the case yourself?” he asked, raising a hand to brush away a stray strand of hair from her cheek. “I told you before-I can help you overturn the verdict, so there’s no need for you to run around trying to solve the case when you might end up with nothing at all in the end.”
But you’ll only overturn the verdict,” she argued, “and not actually help me find the real culprit in that car crash, right? You won’t help me find out who was the person who implicated me with the crime and slap me with the label of a criminal which I must bear for the rest of my life, will you? You’re just going to help me overturns the verdict through the lack of concrete proof for my guilt, but then, even if my criminal records are wiped clean, I’ll still be guilty in everyone’s eyes.”
“Is other people’s opinion of you so important?” Jackson asked, frowning
Serenity smiled wryly and replied, “If it’s about anything else, I would’ve never concerned myself with what other people think of me, but this crime. I must find out the truth for myself, and I want everyone to know that I’m not a murderer!”
She did not want people to think of her mother as the woman who gave birth to a daughter that killed someone. She, of all people, knew how much damage mocking words could cause as she had personally experienced it herself.
Jackson stared at Serenity intently for a while and then suddenly smiled.
