Chapter 1489

After Jackson walked out of the room, his hands clenched into fists. She had no idea how nervous and hopeful he felt when she took the initiative to pull his arm, hug his neck, and kiss him. But... it ended in yet another disappointment. Although she tried to convince him with this method, her body couldn't lie. Her body was still rejecting him, which meant that she had not truly forgiven him yet. But at the very least, she was willing to lie to comfort him. He should feel happy about that. She and him... still had plenty of time together. After he eliminated the hidden threat, after the birth of their babies, he would have plenty of time to convince her to accept him again! While Jackson was giving instructions to the nurse and bodyguards outside the room, Connor rushed over and said, "Mr. Valor, we have a situation." Jackson's eyes flickered. He waved away the nurse, who immediately went into the room to take care of Serenity. Jackson asked Connor, "What's the matter?" "We've found Walter," Connor answered. The news surprised Jackson. "Where is he?" "We found him at Master Zack's grave. He went to pay respect to Master Zack. He tried to run away when he saw us, but we managed to intercept him," Connor said, "We're currently keeping him in a house near the cemetery. Do you want to go see him?" "Of course. He's my grandfather's closest confidant after all," Jackson said coldly. Walter had suddenly gone missing a few days ago. There must be a reason why he had suddenly reappeared. Jackson wondered if Walter had anything to do with Jenny's prison break. The whole sequence of events felt too suspicious to be a coincidence. "Let's go," Jackson said and led the way down the stairs. Connor quickly followed after him. A moment later, a black Bentley slowly drove away from the Valor Residence. The car pulled up outside a house near the cemetery. As soon as Jackson got out of the car, one of his men greeted him and said, "Mr. Valor, that man is inside. He refuses to say anything. He said he would only talk to you." "Lead the way," Jackson commanded coldly. Jackson's subordinate did as he was told. He led Jackson to one of the rooms in the house. Walter was sitting on a chair. His face was bruised and battered. He had obviously been given a "special treatment" by Jackson's men. When Walter saw Jackson walking in, his swollen face broke into a smile. "There you are! I have a question, Young Master – why are you holding me hostage? I didn't do anything!" "You didn't do anything?" Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly, "You sent Lucas the email to tell him the truth behind the accident under my grandfather's order, didn't you?" "Like you said, it was Master Zack's order," Walter said. "Was helping Jenny Hall escape from prison also the old man's order?" Jackson asked casually. Walter tried to look innocent. "I don't understand what you mean. Jenny Hall... escaped from prison? I only found out that she was arrested from the news."
