Lucas's eyes hooded as he stared at the phone that rang over and over again, his mind struggling as he resisted answering Serenity's call. Not knowing how to face her, he sat in the living room and let the phone ring without picking it up. Why was Serenity calling him nonstop? She seemed so anxious. Was she calling for Peter? Was she going to plead for Peter?Lynette had just come in not long ago and saw the caller ID when Lucas' phone rang."Hey, Lucas? Why don't you answer the phone? Serenity is calling you," Lynette asked, pretending to be confused. "Maybe she's calling because of Peter's matter. I met her at the gate earlier. She kept saying that she wanted to see you and that she had something to tell you. I didn't expect her to be so perseverant for Peter!" Lynette said, deliberately claiming that Serenity wanted to see him for Peter. Just as she expected, the look of struggle on his face faded. Lynette was overjoyed to see Lucas pick up the phone and turn it off."Lucas

"Keep driving." Lucas flatly ordered the driver. Then he leaned back, slowly closing his eyes.Yeah. How could he forget? Serenity was doing all of this for Peter's sake! Her sadness, fatigue, and persistence—they were all for Peter!When the driver heard the order, he rolled the window down and told the guards outside, "Take her away. Mr. Gomez doesn't want to see her." Serenity was shocked and shouted, "Lucas, I really have something urgent. I really need your help…" But the car window slowly rolled up, cutting off her voice. And the next moment, the security guards on the side pulled her away!Serenity watched as the car slowly drove away. Desperate, she used all her strength and pushed the guards away. She ran after the car, but no matter how she ran, she could not outpace the car. The distance between her and the car just kept growing.Lynette sat in the car and saw Serenity through the window. Seeing how Serenity tried to chase after the car desperately, she was secretly de

Jackson got out of the car as soon as the car stopped. He was surprised to see Serenity and stopped in his tracks, their gazes locking."I-I need your help," Serenity rasped through her cracked lips. She had a dry throat because she had not drunk any water since last night."Looking for me?" Jackson said coldly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "What are you doing here? Is your memory that bad? Why won't you take my words seriously? Didn't I tell you yesterday? Don't ever show up here again." Serenity dashed to Jackson, grabbing his arms tightly. "I know you don't want to see me again, but… I'm begging you, please! Please lend me 300,000 dollars! I'll pay you back—with interest! I really need it!""300,000 dollars?" Jackson arched a brow, surprised by Serenity's request. "What? It's just 300,000 dollars. Why won't Lucas give it to you? Why do you have to come to me and beg?" he said, mocking her.Pale-faced and wide-eyed, Serenity stood there speechless. Her lips trembled, and she

Connor fell silent. Could it be? Mr. Valor did not seem to care about Serenity anymore, but his next words seemed to be saying otherwise. "Find out why she needed the money," Jackson ordered."Yes," Connor responded and left the office quickly.Alone in the office, Jackson paced to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out the window. Looking down the street, he noticed a glint of dark-colored hair and recognized Serenity standing in front of the building.How strange, he thought. Repeatedly, he had told himself not to care about her anymore, but he could not resist thinking of her.Jackson was annoyed that he felt a pang of worry in his chest at the thought of her—her pale and haggard face, her being a little unsteady on her feet. What was he worried about? What was there to worry about?Not that she came here for you, Jackson told himself. Serenity was here because something had happened between her and Lucas. Lucas would not give her the money, so she had come to Jackson, be

Jackson froze. Last night? Had Serenity been standing in front of Lucas' place, waiting all night?!"Mr. Valor," Connor prompted, "Ms. Lewis has been standing since last night. With her physical strength, I'm afraid she won't hold on much longer like this."Jackson turned around and looked down the streets again. "Bring her here!""Yes," Connor responded and left the CEO's office quickly. It seemed like Mr. Valor still cared about Serenity!By the time Connor got downstairs, Serenity was shaking, seemingly unsteady on her feet. She was barely holding on with the last of her remaining strength."Ms. Lewis," Connor called out to Serenity, "Mr. Valor wants to see you. Come with me."Looking at Serenity's terrible state, Connor lamented with a sigh. Given how much Mr. Valor cared for her, Mr. Valor would naturally do everything to help, but only if Serenity eventually gave in."Okay. Sorry to trouble you." Serenity's dry lips parted as she spoke, her voice sounding very hoarse.Con

"Yes," Serenity responded, not surprised he would find out so soon. "You really care about your friend. You stood in front of Lucas' place all night for Lisa. It didn't work out, so you came to me and stood at the entrance for so long," Jackson said, his voice full of sarcasm.Serenity could not help but tremble, her fists clenching tighter. Gathering her courage, she decided she would accept all the humiliation Jackson was going to give her, no matter what. She had to hold on and save Lisa!Serenity chewed her lip. "I know. You'd probably see me as someone shameless, but… I really need the money. I need to save Lisa. She might not survive without this. Please lend me the money. In return, I'll agree to anything you want—anything you want me to do."Serenity was desperate to save Lisa at all costs. Lisa had sacrificed her future and helped Serenity in her most desperate moments. She would always be grateful and would do everything she could to save Lisa!"Why would I need you to

Serenity needed 300,000 dollars to save Lisa's life! But she had no way to help Lisa borrow the money!What should Serenity do? What could Lisa do? How could the Quest family save Lisa? Must they sell their family house just to save her? Would it even be enough? The costs of intensive care were very expensive. The Quest family was only an ordinary family. How could they even afford long-term intensive care treatment?Serenity wanted to say something, her lips quivering. She had exhausted all her options and did not know what else she could say. She could use herself to bargain with Jackson, but only if Jackson wanted her. Jackson no longer cared about her, so it would not work.Jackson pursed his lips tight, angry that Serenity was still emotionally affecting him. He knew Serenity was desperate, and his heart despaired for her. It was stupid to feel heartbreak over a woman who had abandoned him, yet here he was. After a long silence, Serenity's voice rang in the room again. "Can't

"Hey, Lucas… Are you still thinking of Serenity? Your relationship with Serenity is affected because of me. Are you okay?" Lynette put on a guilty look and said pretentiously, "Serenity is begging to see you because of Peter, but you refused to see her. Will that really be okay?""Don't ask any more questions about her and me. Just talk to your lawyer about the lawsuit," Lucas said coldly."Thank you, Lucas." Lynette suddenly choked out a sob and lowered her head, pretending to wipe her tears away. "I thought you'd side with Serenity and stop me from suing Peter. I thought you loved Serenity and would make me put up with this, but…""I didn't expect you to help. Thank you for hiring a lawyer for me and helping me with my case. You're so nice. You're still the same… you." Lynette wanted to call him Luke, but she remembered his previous warning and gave up. There was no point in making him upset with a nickname. Besides, her utmost priority was to keep him away from Serenity. She must

“……” 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
