Chapter 662
Serenity Lewis? Who was she? She was just an ex-convict!
People from a small town had a natural bias toward an ex-convict. They would point their fingers at her full of
disdain. Many of them thought Serenity should not be at the war. She was a disgrace to the family. The Walker
family should throw her out instead!
The Walker family shook in fear heating such remarks, worried it would upset Jackson. If Jackson got mad, he could
easily wipe out the Walker family.
Lynette had Lucas’ protection, but Lucas had never said that he would protect the Walker family!
On the day of Emily’s funeral, Serenity dressed herself in black and joined the funeral procession. Her eyes were

her to the funeral home.
The Walker family had reserved a hall in the funeral home to accommodate the memorial service. During the
service, Serenity stood and listened quietly. Listening to Uncle Francis’ speech about Granny’s life, tears fell from
her eyes again.
Those who loved her always left her behind. First, it was her mother. Then, it was Granny Emily. Who would leave
her next? Suddenly, an unknown fear rose in her heart.
Just then, a hand brought a handkerchief to her, gently wiping her tears away.
Serenity looked at this beautiful hand in a daze. He was so gentle and tender, talding care of her like she was his
most precious belonging
Turning her head, Serenity looked at Jackson, who was standing beside her.
Jackson. He would never leave her. He would be by her side and grow old with her.
When Uncle Francis’ speech was over, the crowd began to form a line to get a last look at Emily and say their final
goodbye.
When it was Serenity’s turn, a man rushed forward and stopped her. He pointed at Serenity and yelled, “You have
no right to step forward! You should stay in the corner for being an ex-convict! You’re a shame to your
grandmother! Haven’t you brought enough disgrace to your family? Do you want everyone to know that Emily’s
granddaughter was in prison?!
Serenity’s face changed. She recognized the man. He had once pursued her when she had just graduated from
university. She had just become a lawyer and was very popular in town. This man had come to Granny to propose,

had held a grudge and spread rumors about her later, saying that she only loved the rich. When she was in prison,
the man and his family loved talking about her to every townsperson, saying they were lucky that he had not
married her.
Serenity had heard people talking about it, but she had never taken it seriously. After all, there were too many
people attacking her with gossip. However, Serenity never expected him to attack her at Granny’s funeral.
“That’s none of your business!” Serenity warned coldly.
“Why don’t you let everyone be the judge? You dishonored the Walker family. You’re shameless enough to show up
here. I think you may have been the cause of your grandmother’s death. She’s probably so mad because you were
in prison and had her life cut short.”
