Chapter 1127

Author: Anastasia Marie
Sure enough, those who heard Jade’s words all had the same puzzled expression. Some even voiced out their confusion. “You two… were incarcerated before? But how is it possible… that you’re still able to become a paralegal?”

By paralegal, they were referring to none other than Serenity! Jade cast a jealous look at her immediately. That’s right! How could a person with a criminal record be allowed to be a paralegal?!

On the other hand, her social standing in prison was actually much better than where she was outside. At the very least, she commanded some level of authority among her fellow prisoners.

Serenity, who had long gotten used to receiving such curious stares, couldn’t be bothered to explain herself. However, Lynette seized the opportunity to speak on her behalf. “So what if she was incarcerated? It’s just a few years behind bars, nothing much to worry about.”

Following that, Lynette projected a concerned expression toward Serenity. “Serenity, since we’re cousins, I don’t c

    What was going on?!Serenity instinctively darted toward the exit of the lounge. However, her heart sank when she yanked on the door handle. It was locked from the outside!Was this a trap? Was Lynette behind this?! Jonas immediately charged at her…Outside the lounge, although Lynette sat there quietly as the makeup artist did her work, she was actually incredibly nervous on the inside. She wondered if things were coming along smoothly!She had specially invited Jonas over today and spiked his drink before telling him to wait for her behind the curtain. To convince him to go along with her plan, she told him it was because it would look bad if people noticed her and Jonas together. What’s more, such affairs had to be carried out behind closed doors. Although her explanation was full of loopholes, Jonas still took the bait. After all, 10 million dollars was simply too much to ignore. Right now, just as Lynette had planned, after Serenity entered the lounge, Jonas’ dr

    Hatred surged within Lynette, but she tried her best to put on a smile. “O-Of course, I remember that! Right, Serenity also came today. She’s waiting for me in the lounge. It’s not my scene yet, so let me go get her.” Lynette proceeded to make her way to the lounge. “Wait, she’s here?” Lucas was surprised to learn that Serenity was here too, so he followed after Lynette. “Let’s go there together.” He had to see Serenity. He had a feeling that if he didn’t see her, he would go crazy thinking about her.If it wasn’t for the possibility that his enthusiasm might annoy or scare off Serenity, he was more than happy to see her daily! These days, he had been holding himself back from meeting Serenity every day in hopes that she could sort out her own emotions. Lynette was obviously overjoyed since everything was going according to her plan. She would only have to open the door of the lounge and yell out in surprise, and then everyone would run over to witness the scene in the loun

    How did this happen?! Did Jonas take anything after that? She had clearly drugged him, so he should theoretically be under the control of the drug right now! On the other side, Serenity was equally stunned. She was surprised to find Lucas standing there when the door swung open. “W-What are you doing here?” asked Serenity with an astonished look. Lucas immediately regained his senses and walked up to Serenity. “Are you okay? Did anything happen to you?” “I’m fine, it’s just…” Before Serenity finished speaking, Lucas had already noticed a tear on her sleeve. The tear wasn’t that obvious at first glance, but one wouldn’t miss it if they took a closer look. “What’s this?” he asked her. “Oh, I was scratched during our struggle earlier,” replied Serenity. Even though it was just her sleeve that was torn, it was likely that she wouldn’t be able to wear this shirt again. It would be difficult to mend the spot without making it too conspicuous. In a second, Lucas’ expression so

    Lucas was surprised to hear that, because when he opened the door, it had been unlocked. “We’ll discuss this at the police station!” said the officer. “Alright,” replied Serenity. “I’ll come with you,” offered Lucas as he grabbed Serenity’s hand. “Oh, it’s fine. I can go on my own,” said Serenity. Instead of letting go, Lucas doubled down and insisted, “I’ll come with you! In any case, I am a first-hand witness.” He stared at her with his intense gaze, as if telling her that he would continue insisting if she rejected him. Faced with no other choice, Serenity nodded and agreed for him to accompany her to the police station. Even if she said no, Lucas had the right to offer information to the police without needing her permission. What’s more, just like he mentioned, he was a first-hand witness in this incident. Lucas glanced at the crowd outside and proceeded to pull her behind him. “I’ll walk in front and you follow me from behind. We’ll leave this place like that.”

    Lynette was lost in thought when she heard a voice from the lounge room saying, "Huh, what's this?" It was one of the mall janitors.Shortly after, someone remarked, "Look at these pictures! Eww, that's disgusting!"Pictures?Lynette recalled with a jolt that the reason Jonas was here today was to make a deal with her for her pictures.She didn't go with Jonas into the lounge room after drugging him earlier. Instead, she stayed outside and waited for the drug to take effect.She thought she could sneak the pictures away in the chaos that was bound to ensue after Jonas and Serenity were discovered. However, things did not happen according to plan, and she forgot to retrieve the pictures.Lynnette rushed into the lounge and saw many people holding and examining the pictures.Someone suddenly remarked, "Hey, isn't this Lynette Blossom?""No way, this woman looks like a country bumpkin. She's too shabby to be Lynette Blossom.""The man in the pictures is so ugly. Wait, doesn't he

    Serenity wanted to decline at first, but when she saw Lucas' serious expression, she held the words back.For some reason, her phone felt a little heavier in her hand."I'll take you home. As for today's incident, I'll definitely get to the bottom of it!" Lucas said. "I won't see you get hurt and do nothing about it!""I've already lodged a police report. The police will investigate it," Serenity said."But I don't know if the police will do enough," Lucas stated. He would always eliminate anyone who posed a threat to him. "I won't let the culprit get away with this!"Serenity suddenly asked, "What if the culprit is Lynette? What would you do?"Lucas froze at the thought of the possibility. It was the one outcome he had avoided thinking about. He could be merciless towards anyone and make them pay the price a thousand times over, but Lynette... She was the person he had been obsessed over for more than 20 years, the person who had rescued him when he was a boy!If he could, he

    When they reached the car, Lucas helped Serenity get settled in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt for her. He then climbed into the driver's seat and drove to her apartment.Along the way, Lucas stopped to buy a salve for Serenity's bruises."I don't need a salve. It's no big deal. Just let them be and they'll heal in no time," Serenity told Lucas."To me, everything about you is a big deal," he said. As if afraid that she wouldn't apply the salve, he pulled up to the side of the road and took her bruised arm to apply the salve for her."I can do it myself," she hastily said. She took the salve from him, opened it, dipped her finger in the salve, and applied it to the slightly bruised, reddened spots.The cool salve slowly seeped into her skin.There weren't actually that many bruises, so the whole process didn't take long. She heard Lucas say, "Even if the culprit is Lynette, I'll make sure justice is served."Serenity looked at Lucas in surprise. "But..."Lucas exp

    Lynette had thought long and hard to come up with this story. She tried to portray herself as a victim.As long as she was a victim, she wouldn't be blamed for what happened to Serenity. Serenity could only blame her bad luck."Do you swear that everything you're telling me is the truth?" Lucas looked her right in the eye and asked.Lynette quickly said, "Of course. Why would I lie to you, Lucas? The more I think about it, the more scared I am. If I were the one who went into the lounge, I would surely have fallen victim to Jonas because I'm not as quick-witted as Serenity is. It would have turned into a major scandal! Everyone would be talking about it!"As she spoke, she tried to jump into his arms for comfort.However, he pushed her away and said, "Lynette, I've already told you, I only see you as someone who saved me when we were kids. Please stop doing or saying inappropriate things so that people don't get the wrong idea."Lynette's face fell. She bit her lower lip tightly.

    “……” 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!

    "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

    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
