My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 110
"Jack..."Serenity murmured softly, and her whispering voice hit Jackson's heart hard, as if with the weight of a million pounds.Serenity raised her chin, and a smile bloomed on her face as she kissed him fiercely.Jackson looked at her in confusion. She was so close to him, and he could have avoided the kiss, but... He chose not to.Serenity was the only one who could make him like this.When he heard her calling his name in a rasping voice, he finally snapped back to his senses. He had almost lost his mind earlier!Jackson took a deep breath and rang the emergency call bell.Not long after, the doctors and nurses rushed over and gave Serenity another dose of sedative. Finally, Serenity quieted down once more. Connor noticed something different about Jackson. Connor had been with Jackson for years. Others might not have noticed anything, but he could sense something different about Jackson.'Could it be...' Connor glanced at Serenity on the bed. Suddenly, a moment of clarit

Nevertheless, he certainly had no feelings left for Serenity! It was a pity that he could not possibly tell Jenny the truth now, but he was still anxious that Jenny might misunderstand him."Jenny," he said after taking a deep breath, "there are some things that I just can't tell you even if I wanted to."Jenny stared at Zeke for a while and asked, "Does Serenity Lewis have anything to do with Joy's injury?"Zeke stared back at his fiancee in astonishment, completely unable to utter a word. Still, his silence and expressions were enough to let Jenny know that her guess was correct."So she really does have something to do with it," she said, before continuing to speculate, "Did she make a new friend in prison? A friend with some connections, maybe?"Before Zeke could answer her, a voice suddenly rang out, "So my injuries were Serenity's doing, huh?!"Joy walked into the room with a limp. She had merely intended to come over to tell her brother and Jenny to return to the living
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 112
Joy almost passed out due to the shock. How could she ever guess that Jackson Valor would be the one behind her injuries and that he had ordered the attack to help Serenity?!Why would he do such a thing for a woman like that?!After all, his fiancee, Mira Hall, was a renowned beauty! As for Serenity... Well, Joy had to concede to the fact that she used to be beautiful in the past, but after being in prison for three years and now becoming a sanitation worker sweeping the streets all day, she would never even have the time to take care of her appearances, so how pretty could she be?!How could it be possible that Jackson Valor, a man so used to being surrounded by great beauties, would ever be interested in a woman like Serenity?!"That's why you must never harm Serenity ever again," Zeke warned his sister. "Also, don't ever tell anyone about anything I said just now, not even Mom and Dad! Jackson told me that he doesn't want anyone to know about this. In fact, I've probably made a
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 113
A cold shudder spread through his body as Zeke thought about this, and he turned to look at Jenny beside him. Right now, the Hall family and the Shaw family were each other's close allies, so even if Jackson Valor was currently interested in Serenity, he would probably never go so far as to... declare war against the two wealthy families just because of a woman like her, would he?After all, Serenity had no one else to blame but herself for all the bad things that happened to her back then, right?!***Serenity felt as if she had been stuck in an unending nightmare.In it, she was back in prison where no matter where she tried to run and hide, no matter how much she begged for mercy, she could never escape any of the torture she was subjected to. Bitterly cold water, disgusting filth, all the feet that had stepped on her head, pinning her to the ground as they mocked her, "Isn't that the great lawyer, Miss Lewis? Look how far she has fallen! She used to be an intellectual, yet now

"But... The clothes you're wearing are..."He seemed to only realize then that he had been wearing the same clothes he was when having dinner with Zack last night. Jack would never have been able to afford any of these clothes.Still, after all that had transpired last night, he no longer planned to hide his true identity anymore, especially considering he had to reveal it to her eventually, anyway. What difference would it make if she found out a little earlier now?Besides, it would be easier for him to keep her under his wing of protection once she learned who he really was."Even if my clothes are different," he smiled at her and asked her, "I'm still the same Jack, aren't I?"By that point, even if Serenity had been a complete idiot, she would still have easily detected something wrong and realized that the truth had not been as she imagined. "You're not homeless?""No," he confessed."Then... Then why did you pretend to be homeless?"She started to feel as if she had be
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 115
A feeling arose in him, telling him to protect her at all costs.So many people had cursed at him for being cruel and cold-hearted in the past, yet none of them would ever imagine that right now, he would have such a strong urge to protect a woman."Don't worry," he assured her, "what you feared didn't happen last night. I managed to stop it just in time when I got there."So... he really had saved her!Serenity raised her head and stared bewilderedly at the face that was merely inches away from hers and asked, "But how did you get there in time to save me?"He had not even gone to town with her yesterday!"Have you forgotten?" He smiled gently. "You called me, so I managed to rush there just in time."But it was just a call! How had he managed to get there in time to save her when he was almost a hundred miles away?!Serenity's heart was suddenly filled with an inexplicable shock.As he spoke, he carried her back onto the bed and carefully tucked her under the blanket before

Jackson hung up the phone as soon as he had finished his sentence.Master Zack stared at the phone screen silently for a while before giving it back to the nurse beside him.Was there really no need for him to worry? It would be great if that was true, but sometimes, being uncertain was often the scariest thing. He was reminded of how his own son had once assured him by saying "Dad, I'll never neglect all my duties to the Valor family just for a woman!".Yet in the end, his son had abandoned the Valor family and even sacrificed his life just for a woman!"Go find out who that woman actually is," he ordered. "I want to know every little detail about her."A voice answered, "Yes, sir."The voice had come from a corner of the room where a man clad in a black suit and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat with a laptop in front of him, his fingers flying over the keyboard.*** Serenity lay on the hospital bed, her mind still in a jumbled mess. Too many things had happened sinc

She opened her bag and checked the contents. All her belongings were still there. As for her phone, she recalled that it had been snatched away from her at the Foster's house when they discovered it. Her phone was turned off, so she turned it back on only to find that there were tons of missed calls and unread messages.Some of those were from her grandmother, some from Lisa, and others were from unknown numbers.Serenity had a good guess of why her grandmother would call her. As for Lisa... She scrolled through her phone and found that Lisa had called her more than twenty times, so she called her back right away.Lisa picked up almost as soon as the call went through and asked, "Is that you, Serenity?""Yes," she replied, "it's me. I... turned off my phone yesterday, and I saw your calls just now when I turned it back on."Lisa sighed in relief and said, "Oh my God, I was so worried when I couldn't call you last night. You told me you were going to your grandmother's house for th

“……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me! The

"Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

"Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

"Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
