Chapter 1179

Author: Anastasia Marie
Some passersby cast curious glances at the scene that the woman had created.

At that moment, Jackson couldn’t be bothered to even look at her. Instead, he continued making his way to his vehicle.

When she saw his reaction, she turned around and accidentally caught sight of Serenity from the corner of her eye. Immediately, she rushed at her and yelled, “Ms. Lewis, please help me! You helped me last time too, so please! Ask Mr. Valor to forgive me!”

The whole situation developed so quickly that Serenity couldn’t respond in time. Her mind had barely registered what was going on when the lady was already standing before her. Her fingertips were wrapped in a conspicuous layer of white gauze.

Her forehead was red and swollen with blood slowly oozing out from the wound caused earlier by her groveling. Her facial expression reflected her desperation, almost as if she was clinging to every chance just to avoid this disaster.

    After all, after the Heart of Serenity ring had been completed, Mr. Valor had kept it locked in the safe and never taken it out again. Mentioning the ring was taboo, just like Serenity’s name.However, this woman was breaking that taboo again and again! “I want you to check how she came to know about the ring. Whoever leaked that information, make sure they pay for it,” snapped Jackson coldly. “Understood, sir,” replied Connor. The woman immediately turned pale, and her lips quivered. She wanted to speak, but she had no idea what to say. “She’s right, you know. It’s pointless for you to beg for her help,” said Jackson. As he spoke to the waitress, his eyes were kept on Serenity. In just a moment, Serenity felt her chest overwhelmed by a tidal wave of emotions. He was looking at her, but… it seemed as if there was no place for her in his eyes. Those beautiful eyes revealed zero emotions. Instead, what she felt was silence. Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she f

    Serenity nodded in response. Terry, who picked up on her unhappiness, seemed to have something on his mind. Later that evening, Terry suggested to Lisa, “Do you think there’s a chance that Serenity might be pregnant?” Lisa almost choked on her drink when she heard that suggestion. “No way!” she replied firmly.Terry was confused by how sure of herself she sounded. “What makes you so sure of yourself? It hasn’t been three months since they broke up, and even if she’s pregnant, we can’t really tell yet.” Lisa bit her lip. What was she supposed to say in this scenario? After all, this involved Serenity’s private matter. Truth be told, considering the type of injuries she had sustained while in prison, the chances of her getting pregnant were incredibly slim. Still, she had indeed received medical treatment while she was together with Jackson. However, it wasn’t long before they had broken up, and Serenity was unable to afford her own treatment. At that moment, facing Terry’s ga

    "Oh really? Which one did you have?" Peter asked as he opened his bag to let Serenity take a look at the Transformer action figures in the bag.Serenity thought, wow, he said he had a few, but he actually had a lot more than a few. At a glance, there were at least a dozen of them.Serenity did find the one she had when she was little – a Bumblebee."I used to have this one," Serenity said. She was hit by a wave of nostalgia when she saw the Bumblebee."Then you can have it," Peter said."But I thought it's for Yanny?" Serenity asked."Yanny has a lot more. You can keep that one as a memento," Peter said.A memento...? Serenity stared at the Bumblebee in her hand. She remembered really wanting this toy when she was a kid. She begged her grandmother for a long time to buy it for her. Back then, she didn't have much of a concept of money. She didn't know that her grandmother had bought it with money that she scrimped and saved.The memory of her grandmother touched a soft spot in

    He did this the last time too! Lynette left the ward somewhat indignantly. Serenity grabbed an apple and a fruit knife, sat down by Lucas' bed, and started peeling the apple for Lucas."You ran into your former coworker downstairs?" Lucas asked, seemingly in a casual manner."Yeah. You've actually met him before. Remember Peter Wall, the guy who ran into you when he was searching for me?" Serenity asked. She didn't try to hide anything and answered casually.Peter Wall, huh? Lucas searched his memory. When Serenity went missing, that Peter Wall guy looked very anxious. He obviously cared a lot about Serenity, more than a normal friend would... He probably had feelings for her."Ah, yes, I remember. He was really worried about you back then," Lucas said."He's a kind man." Serenity's mouth tugged in a faint smile at the thought of Peter coming to the hospital to give Yanny a bag of Transformer action figures. She couldn't believe how well Peter preserved those old toys of his.T

    This Bumblebee wasn't the one that her grandmother bought for her, but it still reminded her of some of the little moments she shared with her grandmother.Granny was the soft spot in her heart!Seeing Serenity smile, the jealousy in Lucas' heart became even thicker. Did she... No, she shouldn't have any feelings for Peter Wall. She should just see him as a former coworker.But... why couldn't he stop thinking about it? He couldn't help worrying that Peter Wall might occupy an important position in her heart!Outside the hospital room, Lynette watched them from the shadows, her eyes darting with calculations.Serenity left Lucas' hospital room and went to visit Yanny. Peter was also there. He was playing with Yanny when she arrived.The little boy clearly loved the Transformer action figures. He couldn't stop playing with them."By the way, when can Yanny be discharged from the hospital?" Serenity asked Clara."The day after tomorrow, barring any unforeseen circumstances. We'l

    Peter suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and caught up to her. "Serenity! I... I hope you can find your happiness!"He said that with a slightly flushed face, as if it took a lot of courage for him to say it. "Although... your happiness isn't me, I still hope that the woman I like can be happy."Serenity stared at him in amazement, a warmth rising in her heart."Thank you. You're... a really good guy." She found his simplicity, warmth, and kindness very precious.A good guy... Peter sighed. He's a good guy, but not someone she would love."I..." He paused, seemingly struggling to get the words out, and his face became even redder."What's the matter? If you have anything to say, go ahead and say it," Serenity said."Can we... hug? Just a quick hug to bid farewell to my past feelings..." He laughed bitterly and said, "Was what I was going to say, but then I realized that you've obviously never loved me – it's always been me being attracted to you one-sidedly, ca

    He took a deep breath, then turned to look at her. "You really have no idea who sent these pictures?"Lynette trembled slightly. She felt as if his sharp eyes could see through her lies. "Of course I don't. If I do, I would have asked them why they sent the pictures!" Lynette said, looking aggrieved. "Don't tell me... you think I planned this? I know that you like Serenity and you only see me as someone who rescued you when you were a little, so why would I bother to do all this? I would rather you be with Serenity than someone I don't know. That way, even if you marry Serenity one day, you'll be able to tolerate me and I won't have to stay away from you!"Lynette spoke pitifully, as if she was telling the truth.Lucas pursed his lips and scrutinized Lynette. After a few moments, he picked up his phone and called someone. "Help me check out a person called Peter Wall. He used to work at the sanitation office. I'll send you his picture."Listening with her eyes looking down, Lynet

    That's... Luke.Even though she believed she would never fall in love with anyone ever again, could she really turn a blind eye to his feelings?While Serenity was lost in thought, her phone rang. Serenity looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Lucas.She answered the call. Lucas' voice came from the phone, "I'm sorry for calling you so late.""It's fine, I haven't gone to bed yet. What's up?" Serenity asked."Nothing. I just... suddenly wanted to hear your voice," he said.She didn't know what to say."Serenity, if... if you like Transformer action figures, I can buy them for you, whichever model you want," he said after a moment of hesitation."No, it's fine," she quickly said, "I used to like them when I was a kid. I'm long past the age of playing with them now.""Is that so?" he paused for a moment and said, "I actually have no idea how to make a woman happy." After all, in the past, the women were always the ones who had to try their best to make him happy.All he h

    “……” 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

    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
