When Serenity entered the interrogation room, the police interrogation had already ended. Peter's face was very pale. He seemed to be at a loss.As soon as he saw Serenity, he said in a panic, "Serenity, I... I didn't do it! I don't know why that woman's trying to frame me!"Peter looked extremely confused. Everything happened so suddenly that he didn't know what to do."Calm down. Take your time and tell me what happened very slowly. I'm your lawyer now. I'll help you handle this case. If you can find a more suitable lawyer, you can change your lawyer anytime," Serenity said, comforting him.Peter slowly calmed down. "Thank you, Serenity."For the next half an hour, Serenity listened to Peter's side of the story. According to Peter, while he was helping Clara fetch Yanny's reports, Lynette suddenly appeared next to him. She said she sprained her foot and asked for his help to get to her car in the hospital's open-air parking lot.Because Lynette was holding a lot of things in he

"Innocent?" Lucas scoffed, "The police have checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that Lynette's telling the truth. What's more, none of the five eyewitnesses know each other, yet their statements are all consistent! There's no possibility of them giving false statements at all! "Serenity asked, "Have you ever been wrongly accused before?""What?" he was caught off guard by her question."Being wrongly accused, with all the witnesses and material evidence against you. Even though you know you're innocent, there's nothing you can do. Have you ever experienced something like that before?" She smiled faintly, "I have, so I can understand how Peter feels right now. That's why I'll help him no matter what!"He pursed his lips and stared at her with eyes that tried to see through her. "Even if I ask you to stay away from Peter Wall's case, you'll still help him?""He's my friend. I believe him." She met his gaze and did not back down in the slightest.At this moment, the air

"I don't understand what you're saying. Why would I frame him? What would I gain from it?" Lynette asked.That was exactly what Serenity couldn't figure out. "You're not even willing to settle, are you?""Would you settle with someone who tried to rape you?" Lynette asked, secretly appreciating Serenity's distress.For once, it gave her the feeling of having the upper hand over Serenity!Serenity took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever considered that by doing this, you'll be giving a person a lifelong stigma, and he won't be able to hold his head high for the rest of his life?""Serenity, stop accusing me of framing Peter Wall! You're a lawyer, so you know very well that you need evidence to make that kind of accusation!" Lynette said condescendingly."What will it take for you to let Peter go?" Serenity took a deep breath and said, "I'll do my best to satisfy your request."Although Serenity had no idea what Lynette's goal was, she had a vague feeling that it had something

If she agreed, he would do everything he could to settle the matter in a manner that she would be satisfied with.But to his disappointment, what she said was: "Lucas, you saved my life, so I'll do whatever you ask me to do as long as it doesn't go against my conscience. But in this matter, I won't agree."He snorted, "You mean this goes against your conscience? Serenity, is that man really that important to you?!"Serenity kept quiet. Rather than saying it's because Peter was important to her, it's more appropriate to say that she had to save Peter because Peter was most likely framed because of her. Not to mention, the current Peter reminded her of herself years back. She wanted to save Peter just like she wanted someone to save her back then.Her silence upset Lucas even further.Lynette walked up to Lucas, gently held his arm, and said, "Lucas, don't be mad. Serenity only got tricked by Peter Wall because she cares about him so much. But the fact is, Peter Wall is simply full

"You know very well what the truth is," Serenity ignored Lynette's acting and looked only at Lucas. "Do you believe me?"The shock in Lucas' eyes slowly subsided. His long eyelashes fluttered for a moment before slowly dropping down, "You want me to believe that you're the little girl who saved me?""Yes," Serenity answered. Even though she knew that her revelation was too sudden, she wanted to gamble on his trust."I asked you this at the edge of the cliff not long after your grandmother passed away. Do you still remember what you told me?" Lucas' voice was soft.Serenity could only sigh. At that time, she wanted to give Jackson a sense of security, so even though she had recovered her memory, she insisted that she wasn't the little girl who saved Lucas."I remember," she said, "At that time, I did deny it, but...""But after that, I asked you on multiple occasions if you're the girl!" Lucas' voice had a tinge of mocking laughter. He raised his head to look at her, and his eyes
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1196
Tears poured out of Lynette's eyes incessantly. Her tears weren't entirely fake. She really was scared when Serenity revealed the truth. If Lucas believed Serenity, she would be in big trouble.Thankfully, Lucas didn't.Serenity's eyes had never left Lucas. "In your eyes, am I really the kind of person who would lie and take over another person's identity just to save someone?"Her voice was much less intense than before. She sounded as if she was just asking a serious but simple question. However, that made Lucas nervous.What was he nervous about?!After all his hard work, he finally managed to get a bit closer to her, but it felt like they were now moving further and further apart, all because of the man named Peter Wall, a man that he had never taken seriously before.From what he could remember, Peter Wall was just an ordinary, plain-looking man!"Is Peter Wall really that important to you?" he asked instead of answering her question."I don't want to see him go to prison

"Do you remember what you said to me in the hospital before we parted when we were children?" he suddenly asked."Huh?" Lynette blinked, then said, "Of course I remember. I gave you one of my bracelets and told you, when you come look for me, bring the bracelet with you as a token. That way, we'll always be able to recognize each other, even after we grow up and don't look the same anymore because we each have a bracelet that looks exactly the same."Lynette then deliberately added, "I remember watching a TV series where the male and female lead each carried half a jade pendant and found each other after they grew up because of it, so I did something similar."Lucas couldn't help but smile bitterly. What was he thinking? Did he actually hope that Serenity was telling the truth, that Serenity was the little girl who saved him, that the person he had been thinking about for all these years was actually Serenity?But that person was clearly Lynette! Even if Lynette wasn't as good as h

Lynette wanted to use Peter's case to turn her and Lucas against each other.How could she make Lucas lose his hostility towards Peter?Maybe she should try again. She could find another chance to talk to Lucas to tell him the full story...She was lost in thought for a long time. Suddenly, her phone rang, snapping her back to reality. The call was from Clara. "Serenity, how's it going with Peter? Yanny has been asking about Uncle Peter in the past few days.""It's not looking good. I'll keep looking for evidence to prove his innocence," Serenity said. Even though the chances were slim, she had to try."If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask," Clara said."Okay, "Serenity responded. When she hung up, she realized that she had walked to the Valor Group headquarters without realizing it!She had been there many times before, especially when she was working as a delivery rider in Clara's tiny restaurant. There was a time when Jackson liked to order a bunch of f

“……” 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
