"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

Thus, a strange scene formed outside the main entrance of the Valor Group headquarters. Serenity puked into a trash can while a security guard stood next to Serenity. Not far away, Jackson stood watching Serenity expressionlessly. Connor, Jackson's driver, and a few of the company's executives, as well as several security guards that came over to greet them, stood around Jackson.When Serenity finally emptied her stomach so she had nothing to vomit anymore, she looked up and found a bunch of people looking at her!It was the first time in her life she had such a large audience when she puked.And Jackson was among them!Today, he was wearing a black suit over a turtleneck sweater of the same color. He emanated a cold and unapproachable vibe.Serenity felt extremely embarrassed. She wanted to leave, but to get to the bus stop, she had to walk in Jackson's direction. She had no choice but to keep her head down and hurried away while wiping her mouth with a tissue.Jackson simply st

After Serenity wiped his shoes clean, she tilted her head to look up at him and asked, "Is this okay?"At the moment, her face was as pale as snow. Coupled with her thin frame, she looked weak and fragile.Jackson couldn't help but frown. Her condition made him feel uncomfortable.Serenity waited for a while but Jackson didn't answer her, so she awkwardly rubbed her nose, smiled at herself and stood up."Can I borrow a broom and a dustpan? I'll clean this place up a bit," Serenity said to a man in a security uniform."Huh?" The man was taken aback. After seeing Connor's subtle nod, he quickly said, "Sure, uhh... I'll be right back."He soon came back with a broom and a dustpan and handed them to Serenity.Serenity started cleaning up her own vomit, while Jackson stood there watching her and didn't leave.Because Jackson didn't leave, the others naturally didn't dare to leave either, so all of them stood there and watched Serenity clean the place up.Watching her slender frame,

The elevator stopped at the floor where the CEO's office was, and Jackson dragged Serenity out of the elevator."Let go… What the hell do you want…" Serenity screamed, afraid of Jackson. The icy look on his face, the menace emanating from him, everything about him reeked of danger at this moment. She just could not read his mind.The secretaries around the office dared not even attempt to look at Jackson and Serenity. They waited until Jackson took Serenity into his office before exchanging glances and agreed to act as if nothing had happened. Of course, most of them could not hide the shock in their eyes!Jackson's secretaries knew Serenity, naturally. The secretaries had never seen Mr. Valor so attached to a woman before and secretly talked about it. The possibility of Serenity becoming Mrs. Valor had always been the constant topic of discussion among the secretaries, but Serenity's name had become taboo lately. Recently, someone had gotten fired by the company for unintentional

The mention of Lucas reminded Serenity of what had happened in the hospital. By the time Serenity had admitted that she was the little girl who had saved her life, Lucas no longer believed in her. Only because she had denied it so many times, and it was all because of Jackson! Everything had come full circle, almost like an irony.Taking a deep breath, Serenity stated clearly, "Jackson, my relationship with Lucas is none of your business. I didn't come here to look for you. I thought we had made things clear already."Jackson gripped her chin in his large hands, forcing her eyes to meet his. "Ah!" Serenity cried out, her jaw hurting. Jackson's eyes grew colder, his face suddenly close to hers. So close that the tips of their noses almost bumped against each other, so close that she could count his eyelashes."Serenity..." His hoarse voice rang in her ear, "Do you ever regret it? For begging me to leave?"Serenity froze, her body stiffening. Regret it? If she had not acted the way

Serenity quickly dialed Lisa's phone number only to hear the busy ringtone. Serenity tried to call several times in a row, but none of it got through. Unable to reach Lisa, Serenity felt a sense of uneasiness growing within herself. Lisa! Please be safe!Serenity tried to search the internet for more news about Terry's current whereabouts, but the earlier headline was the only news she found. Terry was just a businessman and not a star. He did not get much attention as the head of the White family, so the news of his whereabouts had not been trending.What was going on with Lisa? Why hadn't Lisa been answering her phone?! Serenity also tried texting and messaging Lisa. She did anything she could to get in touch, but there was no reply. Serenity hesitated before reaching out to Lisa's parents. She had their number saved in her phone, but she stopped contacting them after she had gotten involved in the accident and gone to prison. Lisa's parents hated her but for a reason. She was
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1204
Serenity arrived at the hospital and searched for Lisa's name at the nurse station. What she feared most had come true.Lisa was seriously injured and had just been pushed out of the emergency room. Lisa was still in critical condition and under observation in the ICU. Only after passing the critical period could she be transferred to the normal ward. Serenity felt that everything seemed darker, the color in her world turning gray. She approached the ICU ward and saw Lisa's parents standing by the glass wall, crying as they looked inside.It had been more than four years since Serenity had seen Lisa's parents. She never expected to see them again in a place like this. And Lisa… Lisa was… Serenity's legs trembled. She felt too much like a coward, afraid to see Lisa behind the glass wall. The thought of seeing Lisa in a critical condition was too much for her to bear!One step, two steps… Serenity moved slowly, crossing the very small distance that felt so far away. By the time s

“……” 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
