Chapter 1487

Author: Anastasia Marie
"If you trust me, then remove those guards. Let Eva alone protect me just like before. I don't want to have so many people following me around every time I go out." It made her feel like she was being monitored.

"I can't do that," he immediately refused.

"Why?" she asked.

"You need all those people protecting you right now," Jackson said, not ready to tell her about Walter's disappearance and Jenny's prison break yet.

After all, it was all just his speculation. He did not know for sure if they're planning something yet. She would be undergoing cesarean delivery in a week's time, so he did not want to make her worry unnecessarily as it might affect her health.

Serenity's heart sank. He said he trusted her, but... he actually didn't, did he?

"Jack, is there really so little trust between us? What exactly do I have to do before you're willing to fully trust me?" she asked. She had raised her voice without realizing it.

He stared into her eyes, as if he was trying to see through her

    Her movements were so stiff that she felt like a robot, but she persevered.She stood on tiptoes and stared at the handsome face in front of her.They were standing so close together that she could see his eyelashes very clearly and see herself in his pitch-black pupils.Just a little closer, and she would kiss him!If she did that, he would believe her, right?He would believe that she had truly forgiven him and believe that she wouldn't leave him! She wished he knew how much she loved him! She didn't want to miss out on him!He was probably the man who loved her the most in the world. No other man would love her like he did.The truth behind the accident had indeed caused her a lot of pain, and she had indeed hated him for a brief period of time, but the secret must have tormented him greatly too.Now that she thought about it, he had asked her more than once if she would forgive him if he ever wronged her.Was he living in constant fear of her discovering the truth back t

    After Jackson walked out of the room, his hands clenched into fists.She had no idea how nervous and hopeful he felt when she took the initiative to pull his arm, hug his neck, and kiss him.But... it ended in yet another disappointment.Although she tried to convince him with this method, her body couldn't lie. Her body was still rejecting him, which meant that she had not truly forgiven him yet.But at the very least, she was willing to lie to comfort him. He should feel happy about that.She and him... still had plenty of time together. After he eliminated the hidden threat, after the birth of their babies, he would have plenty of time to convince her to accept him again!While Jackson was giving instructions to the nurse and bodyguards outside the room, Connor rushed over and said, "Mr. Valor, we have a situation."Jackson's eyes flickered. He waved away the nurse, who immediately went into the room to take care of Serenity.Jackson asked Connor, "What's the matter?""We'v

    Jackson narrowed his eyes at Walter. "You're telling me that you have no idea she escaped from prison?""I have no idea," Walter insisted."Fine. You told my men that you'd only talk to me? Well, I'm here now. What do you want to say to me?" Jackson asked."Master Zack said, if Serenity Lewis found out the truth after his death but didn't leave you, he wanted to make a bet with you.""A bet?" Jackson asked."Yes, a bet!" Walter said, "Master Zack wanted to see if you would really sacrifice your life for a woman, like your father did."Jackson's expression darkened, "What do you mean by that?" The old man had already passed away. How could he make a bet with Jackson?A tiny smile twitched at the corner of Walter's mouth, but he kept quiet. On his bruised and battered face, the smile looked scary."I asked you what you mean by that!" Jackson growled, his indifferent and cold eyes turning sharp."You'll know when the time comes," Walter said, "Master Zack wanted you to learn from

    The person on the other end of the phone was so nervous that he stammered, "We... We went to Madam's room and found Eva and the nurse unconscious. Madam was nowhere to be seen. There's no surveillance camera in the bedroom, but the footage from the surveillance camera outside the bedroom shows that Madam has never left the room. Also, the room... smells of chloroform!""Look for her! I don't care if you turn the entire mansion upside down, you must find her!" Jackson said, then threw the phone back to Connor. He glared at Walter with eyes filled with killing intent. He then grabbed Walter's hair and pushed him against the wall."Where did you take Serenity?! If anything happens to her, I'll kill you!" As he said that, he slammed Walter's head into the wall hard.Walter laughed and said, "I won't tell you even if you kill me! You'll know when the time comes!""Spill it!" Jackson furiously slammed Walter's head into the wall repeatedly. All he could think of right now was Serenity.

    Jackson gritted his teeth.He was trained by his grandfather, so his grandfather naturally understood his personality very well. The old man knew that Jackson was suspicious by nature and would feel uneasy in all matters concerning Serenity, so he asked Walter to disappear for a period of time, then reveal himself.He knew that Jackson definitely had to see Walter with his own eyes and interrogate him personally or he would not rest easy!Even in death, the old man still wanted to manipulate him.What kind of bet did Grandpa want to make with him?He must not let anything happen to Serenity!When Serenity came to, she was sitting in a car. One of her hands was firmly tied to the steering wheel while the other was tied to the handbrake.The car was perched on top of a cliff. In fact, the back half of the car was hanging over the cliff. The situation looked extremely precarious. Any large movement or external force acting on the car might push it off the cliff.Below the cliff w

    Serenity tried her best to calm down and told Jenny, "If you let me go now, I'll forget everything that happened and let bygones be bygones. I'll also ask Jack to let you off and help your family through this crisis."Serenity had to try to move Jenny with these conditions and make her hesitate in order to create a chance for herself to escape.But no matter what Serenity said, Jenny didn't seem to care. "All I want is to see if Jackson Valor would sacrifice himself for you. When my sister passed away, he didn't shed a single tear for her! Don't you want to know how far he would go for you?"When Jenny said that, hatred erupted in her eyes.She really hated Serenity! Why should she, the second daughter of the Hall family, be in this predicament because of a pleb like Serenity?!She once stole Zeke Shaw from Serenity. She thought that Zeke was madly in love with her, but Zeke actually abandoned her like he once abandoned Serenity!She's Jenny Hall, a goddess in the hearts of milli

    With his lips, Walter gestured at a spot that was about 20 meters away from Serenity's car and said, "There's a device over there that can deactivate the bombs. Only your fingerprint can activate that device."As Walter spoke, the smile on his bruised and battered face widened.Jackson naturally wouldn't believe that things would be that simple!If they were that simple, Walter wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to set this whole thing up."Go on. Finish what you want to say. Don't test my patience. I don't have time to waste on you!" Jackson snapped.The more time he wasted, the more danger Serenity would be in! "The problem is, the moment you deactivate the bombs around the car, a bomb inside the device will be detonated. In other words, if you save Serenity Lewis, you will die!"Walter said that in a loud voice, obviously wanting Serenity to hear him.Serenity's heart sank and her body went cold.The price of her survival was Jackson's life.Why...? Why would tha

    Serenity finally understood why one of her hands was tied to the handbrake and the other one was tied to the steering wheel.One would live and the other would die. No matter what choice she made, there was no happy ending!No one knew how many bombs were planted around her car.There was no time to investigate. Not to mention, if someone accidentally touched a bomb and set it off, it would lead to the worst possible outcome!Was there really not a glimmer of hope left? Serenity racked her brain, trying to think of a solution.Jenny had also heard Walter's words through the video call. She laughed and told Serenity, "Well, well, isn't that interesting? What do you think Jackson will do, Serenity? Of course he'll treat you as a dispensable object and let you die!"Serenity didn't even hear Jenny. All her attention was on Jackson.Jackson was also looking at Serenity. Determination slowly crept into his eyes.Serenity instantly knew what he wanted to do. She screamed, "Don't, Jac

    “……” 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
