My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1249
From the car, Jackson watched Serenity walk into the hospital.She had no idea that she wasn't just gambling with her life this time, she was gambling with his life too.If she lived, he would live as well.But if anything happened to her, he would not live alone. If she wanted to gamble, he would gamble with her – with his life!Lisa's ward was an ICU ward, but it was a relatively private ICU ward. There was even a room next door for family members to sleep in.The environment and conditions here were quite a bit better than that in the previous hospital.Upon seeing Serenity, Lisa's father and mother thanked her profusely."Auntie and Uncle, there's no need for this. Lisa sacrificed so much for me. This is the least I could do for her," Serenity said. She was more concerned about her friend's condition. "What did the doctors say? Did they say when Lisa would be out of critical condition?""They didn't say, so it might take some time. But they did say that they would bring th

"Gown?" Serenity was confused."Yes, it's a maid-of-honor dress," the other party said, "Miss Lisa Quest has already paid in full, so you just need to come over to pick it up. Miss Lisa Quest actually left us her phone number too, but we can't reach her.""She's... hospitalized. I'll come over to pick it up now," Serenity said. She hung up after getting the address.A maid-of-honor dress...? Lisa did mention that she had custom-made a maid-of-honor dress for Serenity, and that she would give Serenity a surprise. Lisa seemed so happy when she told Serenity that.Serenity found the boutique according to the address. It was a rather high-end boutique for customized clothing. All the clothes inside were rather pricey. Lisa probably spent a lot of money on the maid-of-honor dress.Serenity walked into the boutique and told the clerk who greeted her, "I'm Serenity Lewis. Someone from your store notified me to come pick up a dress earlier.""No problem. Please wait for a moment," the cl

"But…" The staff knew who Lynette and her friends were. She was stuck in a difficult position.Ms. Lewis seemed like someone with a high status. Earlier, the staff had seen Ms. Lewis arriving in a Bentley, a luxury car. It was not a car any ordinary person could afford.Lynette's red lips curled back in a triumphant sneer. "Serenity, my friends are very direct and honest—she just can't stand scheming women. I'm so sorry about that.""You should know. People in high society really dislike manipulative people. They hate those who hurt others to achieve their goals by all means. My friend has many friends in high society. If she spreads the word about this, it would bankrupt the store," Lynette deliberately said to Serenity, but what she said was meant for the staff to listen.Serenity looked at Lynette, her eyes cold. She had just met Lucas the other day and told him the truth he wanted to know. Looking at the way Lynette was behaving, it was obvious—Lynette had no clue about it.'W
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1252
Lynette thought that was the end of her embarrassment, but the worst had yet to come. "Pick it up!" Serenity demanded. "You dropped it on the floor, so pick it up!"Lynette snapped, fueled with anger. "Why should I listen to you and pick it up?!"Lynette yelled at the staff, mad at their inaction. "Are you going to kick her out or not?! If not, I'll do it myself!" She wanted to grab Serenity, but someone stopped her before her hand even reached her. An ordinary-looking woman standing behind Serenity suddenly grabbed Lynette's elbow, restraining her effortlessly. "Madam, how should we handle this?" The female bodyguard asked Serenity respectfully, ignoring Lynette's scream of pain."Have her pick up the gown," Serenity ordered, her voice cold. Jackson had sent Eva to protect Serenity. Eva was a very skilled bodyguard, naturally. Otherwise, Serenity would not have been so reckless while pregnant, confronting Lynette here."Yes." Eva said to Lynette, "You heard what Mrs. Valor s
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1253
For some reason, the confrontation in the store turned into a heartwarming scene in the blink of an eye. Lynette widened her eyes in shock, still held down by Eva. What was Jackson doing here? She was incredulous at Serenity and Jackson's relationship and thought they were separated and had broken up some time ago. Jackson gave Lynette a cold glance before turning to Serenity. He asked leisurely, "Need my help?" Lynette flinched at Jackson's seemingly casual tone. She nervously blurted out, "M-Mr. Valor! Don't let Serenity fool you! She is deeply in love with Peter Wall now! She's also representing him as his lawyer! She's so desperate that she waited at Lucas' villa all night for Peter…"Lynette's only goal in the money was to drive a wedge between Jackson and Serenity. Her words reminded Serenity of that most desperate night, making her tremble slightly.The people around them were shocked when they heard Lynette referring to the man as Mr. Valor. The two ladies who had helpe

Jackson turned to Serenity, his eyes on her. "I'm afraid things will not end well for Lynette. What do you think? Would you help her again?"Serenity said flatly, "I won't.""Because of how she framed Peter?" Jackson asked. He seemed unconcerned about it, but his eyes were laser-focused on Serenity, searching her expression for something."Partially yes," Serenity admitted frankly. "I'm not a saint. I won't help someone who has repeatedly tried to hurt me, framing me and innocent people. Lynette will never be at ease with how she used my identity. She won't stop hurting me. I've thought of the consequences when I told Lucas the truth."Innocent?" Jackson snorted. "Do you really trust him? Aren't you a lawyer? Aren't you supposed to believe in evidence? All the evidence now points to Peter.""I trust him," Serenity said, her tone resolute. "Evidence can be superficial. Remember my case? If you believe in them too much, it may lead to another unjust, false, and wrongful conviction,

Lynette headed to Lucas' private residence with a terribly swollen face. She wanted to complain about her aggrievement, but more importantly, she wanted to tell Lucas that Serenity and Jackson had gotten married!Lynette considered Serenity's marriage the only good news after she had gotten beaten harshly. She hoped Lucas would end his feelings for Serenity after learning about the news of their marriage. Jealousy consumed her when she thought about how Serenity had actually gotten married into a wealthy family. Lynette arrived at the villa but never expected to get stopped at the gate. The security refused to let her in. "Mr. Gomez isn't around," the guard said."Although he's not here, I can go in and wait for him. He has never stopped me from going in before," Lynette said arrogantly, venting her anger on the guard."That was in the past. Mr. Gomez gave us an order yesterday. We mustn't let you set foot in here again," the guard explained.Lynette was stunned. "What?!""If y

"Who is it? Who's trying to hurt me?!" Lynette barked in anger."Mr. Gomez has given you a lot of resources, and that has made many people jealous of you," Bailey said, stating the obvious. Besides, Lynette had offended a lot of people. She would have gotten into deep trouble without her connections with Prince Lucas.Bailey had utter contempt for Lynette's behavior. If not for Lucas, she would never work with someone like Lynette. Lynette only had average or below-average looks. She was terrible at acting and lacked emotional intelligence. Lynette was a shallow woman, always wanting others to flatter her. She would use Prince Lucas' influence to threaten those she hated whenever things went wrong.Lynette had finally gotten herself into serious trouble, and Bailey was insincere in helping Lynette. "Why don't you talk to Mr. Gomez? He'd help you with the news," Bailey said, brushing her off.Lynette could not share her struggles. She could not reach Lucas at all. Otherwise, she wou

“……” 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
