"I-I'm feeling much better…" Brianna stuttered in excitement, her pink cheeks showed her shyness.Jackson stated, "This man wanted to pull out your fingernails. Now, let's pull out all his fingernails.""Mr. Valor, thank you for stopping him in time, or he might've hurt all my fingers. But… I think he knows he's wrong. Mr. Valor, why don't you just spare him this once?" Brianna spoke delicately, looking kind and innocent. A woman like her could easily arouse a man's protective desire and liking.Serenity's body shook when she heard the conversation. Well, the joke was on her, it seemed. The man on his knees was the perpetrator, and the waitress with an injured finger was the victim.'Jackson… Is he seeking justice for this woman?' Serenity thought in a daze, watching as Jackson interacted with the waitress. From where she stood, she could see his attractive side profile, his chiseled jawline, his tall nose, and his lips parting and closing as he spoke to the woman.When Serenity r

"Come, let's go. I'll take you home," Lucas said, holding Serenity's hand as he led her out of the room.Jackson snuck a peripheral glance at Lucas and Serenity, who were leaving the room. Once they were gone, he casually ordered Caleb, "Get your staff out of here.""Huh? What about them…" Caleb pointed to Brianna, who had injured her finger, and Mr. Leslie, still on his knees."They'll stay," Jackson said faintly.Caleb ordered all the staff in and outside the private room to leave. Only Jackson, Caleb, Brianna, Mr. Leslie, Connor, and a few of Jackson's bodyguards remained in the room.Jackson's eyes hooded as he took Brianna's hand and gently caressed her index finger wrapped in gauze. He seemed to be lost in thoughts.Brianna looked down with a shy smile, and a hint of surprise flashed in Caleb's eyes. 'Is Jackson really interested in her?' Caleb wondered, but what Jackson said next made Caleb dumbfounded."If you want to have your nails pulled out so badly, do it. Consider

"What do you have? Why would I need you to do anything for me?" Caleb snickered. "You seem so determined to deceive Jackson. Maybe you should've been prepared for failure from the very beginning!" Caleb shook off Brianna's hand and left the private room, ignoring her fate.*** Lucas drove Serenity back home. While on the way, he urged, "If Caleb messes with you again, just call me."Serenity said after a short silence, "Yesterday… You could've woken me up on the bus.""Did you see the video?" Lucas explained, "You fell asleep, so I thought it would be good to let you sleep a little longer. I didn't realize someone had taken a video and even posted it online. If you don't like it, I'll have the video taken down."Lucas had always been wary of cameras, but he had been so focused on Serenity yesterday. He had not been paying attention to his surroundings while on the bus. Serenity had fallen asleep on the bus and slept for only half an hour, but Lucas had felt content with every m

"Serenity…" Lucas murmured, "If I could, I want more than your thanks…"Lucas had always subconsciously kept a distance from others. Even friends like Caleb would say he was too cold and aloof. It was as if nobody could enter his heart.Lucas seemed to have understood what it was like, unable to enter someone's heart. He was desperately trying to get closer to Serenity, wanting to be part of her world, but she always kept a distance from him.Although Serenity was smiling, her smile was just a silent rejection of him. What should he do to really have a place in her heart?!***Serenity hurried to the pediatric section. She gave Yanny's name to the nurse at the reception desk and finally found the ward.Yanny had fallen asleep in his ward. The little boy lying on the hospital bed seemed to have gone through a terrible fight. His legs were wrapped in bandages, and his face was swollen and bruised. His eyes, although closed, were obviously swollen as well.Mrs. Wells sat by Yanny's

"Do you want to get Yanny into a new kindergarten? I'll get Lisa's help," Serenity suggested.Everyone at Yanny's current kindergarten probably knew about Clara's time in prison by now. They would most likely look down on Yanny for his mother's past.Having gone through it, Serenity did not want Yanny to go through the same thing. If they could not change the situation, the only thing they could do was to make changes on their side.Clara did not give Serenity an answer. Instead, she inquired, startling Serenity. "If I want to overturn the conviction now, what are the chances?"Serenity gave it a serious thought and gave Clara an answer. "Thirty percent."A bitter smile broke out on Clara's face. Thirty percent… Could the verdict really be overturned with just a thirty percent chance of winning? Maybe others would fight for it even if there was only a ten percent chance, but it was too low for her!"It's been too long. Even if you appeal, the evidence in your favor is gone with t

"But you're innocent! You got accused!" Mrs. Wells said with a touch of bitterness in her voice. "It's all Sandra's fault! She did this to you! If you’re worried about the stigma, let's overturn the case. Didn't Serenity say we have a thirty percent chance of success?"Clara said nothing more and watched her son quietly. After a while, she got up and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired today. I'm going home to rest. Please take care of Yanny."Mrs. Wells found it a little strange, knowing her daughter's personality. Clara would usually spend the night in the hospital with Yanny no matter what. Mrs. Wells thought maybe Clara was exhausted from working hard at the food stall day and night, so she said, "Go home and rest early.""Okay. I'll come back tomorrow morning," Clara said, leaving the ward. However, Clara did not head home after leaving the hospital. Instead, she walked to the bus stop and dialed a phone number."I'm Clara. I need to talk to Wilson tonight. It's about Yannick. If y
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1159
Gritting her teeth, Clara followed Wilson into the suite and closed the door.Wilson walked to the couch and sat down. Then, he picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table and sipped it. "What do you want to talk about? You can't be asking me to give up custody, or are you?"Clara's eyes flickered. "And what if I am? Can you give up? I'll do anything if you'll give up Yanny's custody!""You'll do anything?" Wilson asked, gazing up at Clara."Yes!" Clara responded."What else do you think I need from you now?" Wilson said, amused. "Would I want you to give birth to another child for Sandra's sake? But I have Yanny now. What else can you do? You're just a small business owner running a food stall. What can you do?"Clara's face paled. She had nothing to offer! She had no chips on the table, nothing to trade with him!After a short silence, Clara said, "Don't you… hate me? You hated my father for hurting your family. He almost destroyed your family, so you deliberately approached me
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1160
Wilson's words left a bitter taste in Clara's mouth. She had already given up loving him and had no feelings for him. Even so, she could not help feeling bitter at his remark. "What if… I'm telling you, I didn't push Sandra down the stairs. Sandra was the one who set me up! W-Would you believe me?" Clara said in an almost pleading tone. She begged Wilson to believe her and not treat her like a criminal. Clara did not care about her status as an ex-convict. The time she had spent in prison could not be reversed, after all! However, she did not want to bring any harm to Yanny because she was seen as a criminal! "Believe you? You want me to believe you?!" Wilson thought he had heard a joke. "Clara, don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say this now? Because of you, Sandra lost her child and became infertile. Who are you to raise my son?!""I didn't do it!" Clara said, looking at Wilson straight in his eyes. "You were deceived! When what you see and hear don’t match, trust your

“……” 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
