My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 159
Serenity ate, wondering about Lucas's purpose. What was he trying to do? Did he really buy her a meal to thank her?"Ms. Lewis, are you Zeke's ex-girlfriend?" Lucas suddenly asked halfway through the meal.Serenity's hands froze suddenly. She lowered her head and answered with a soft voice. Sure enough, someone like Lucas would have investigated her background before having a meal with her."Did you break up with him because of the car accident?" he asked."Yes, so what?" Serenity looked up and asked in reply, "Mr. Gomez, I got into an accident and killed Jackson Valor's fiancee. Who would dare to date me in Solaria?""I would," Lucas said.Serenity was shocked and looked at Lucas with a face full of surprise. Her mind suddenly went blank at his reply. "Well, do you want to try dating me?" he asked.Hearing that, Serenity did not feel anything romantic in his advances. Instead, she felt troubled. Lucas was speaking to her with such a cold and indifferent expression, almost as

Slap!A loud slap sounded.It was so sudden that Serenity could not react in time. She did not realize what had happened until she felt a burning sensation on her face."You must be that woman!" The person who had slapped her cursed bitterly, "I didn't expect you to let Lucas take you to dinner at such a place. Aren't you just a C-lister? Do you really think you can secure your position as his girlfriend?! I'm telling you, he'll dump you very soon!"Serenity looked up. Surprisingly, she recognized the woman who had slapped her!It was none other than Lyra Ross. Lyra was originally a B-lister and often played supporting roles. After dating Lucas, Lucas had made her famous.There was speculation that Lyra would be Lucas's last girlfriend. After all, Lyra was the one who had stayed with Lucas the longest. No one expected Lucas to break up with Lyra. In the end, Lyra had merely become just another ex-girlfriend of his."You’ve got the wrong person!" Serenity said."I didn't get the

This time, however, their positions were reversed, and it was Serenity who did the slapping.Lyra held her cheek in disbelief as she asked, "How... How dare you slap me?!""If you could slap me," Serenity countered, "then why the hell can't I slap you back?"If she had to bear the responsibility, it stood to reason that Lyra had to bear some too."Who do you think you are?!" Lyra spat, mad with anger. "You're nothing but a third-rate minor celebrity! How dare you slap me?!"Serenity was not at all offended being called the "minor celebrity" as Lyra put it, but still..."Then what right did you have to slap me? You're a minor celebrity yourself! If it hadn't been for Lucas Gomez, do you really think that you'd be where you are today? You're well aware of why you came here to throw a fit like a madwoman! It's all because you broke up with Lucas, and you're afraid that you will lose everything, right? Because everything you have was all given to you by that man! And you actually thi
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 162
She remembered reading in gossip columns about how much Lucas used to shower Lyra with love, how she could land a leading role in any film she liked, how any director who did not get along with Lyra would instantly get replaced with a different one, how he would rent the entire hotel, even if it was the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Solaria, if Lyra wanted to have a birthday party in it...With such treatment from Lucas, it was no wonder that everyone thought Lyra would soon be marrying into the wealthy Gomez family.Yet, who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, things would take such a dramatic turn?!No matter how Lyra begged for his mercy, Lucas showed absolutely no sign of sympathy for her. To be more precise, there seemed to be no sign of emotion in his eyes at all—not for Lyra, nor for Serenity!While it was true that right now Lucas seemed to be taking Serenity's side, the way he looked at her was nothing but distant and aloof. It was as if no one could t

"If it had been her, she would never cry."Lyra heard Lucas utter such a vague sentence, and it instantly made her fear shoot up to such a level that she could not help but yell out, "Who is she? Who exactly is that woman?! Lucas Gomez, you'll never love anyone else but that woman, won't you? But you'll never get her! You've been treating other people's feelings with disdain, so one day, she will treat your feelings with disdain as well!"Lucas stopped in his tracks and turned around, his piercing eyes dead-focused on Lyra. At that moment, his usually indifferent gaze was filled with a biting coldness, but he merely glared at her and said nothing at all before turning around and leaving.Lyra slumped onto the floor, her whole body limp and powerless. Judging by the look that Lucas had just given her, it seemed as though he wanted to kill her right then and there.She knew then that she was toast!***Serenity was hit by a gust of frigid wind when she walked out of the restaurant,
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 164
What Serenity's aunt was saying was nothing more than an attempt to whitewash the crimes and guilt of what her relatives had done to her. Still, no matter what they said to her, it seemed like she did not even hear it at all. She just stared blankly at her grandmother who was lying on the hospital bed.The only person in this world she cared about was her grandmother.Suddenly, she noticed her grandmother's lips moving, almost as if she was mumbling about something in her coma. Serenity leaned down close to her grandmother's lips, and she froze when she realized that her grandmother was mumbling the names of her uncles and aunt.Serenity stood up straight without saying a word and left the room. Her uncles' wives followed her, urging her to promise them that she would withdraw the case."What right do you have to demand me to withdraw the case?" She snapped back coldly. "None of you even thought of me as family back then, so I have no reason to treat you like family now!""You col

In desperation, Serenity could only call the number with faint hope. The call went through, but no one picked up. All she could hear was the beeping tone.But she would not give up just yet. She called the number for a second time, then a third time...Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, a few top executives were in Jackson Valor's CEO office, their attention fixed on the ringing cheap old phone. All the top executives knew that recently, the CEO had started to have two phones with him at all times. One was his usual phone, and the other was this curious cheap old mobile phone.As for the phone's origin, the only person apart from Mr. Valor himself who knew about it would be Connor Gunn, his secretary. But if anyone asked Connor about it, the latter would just smile and refuse to say a single word about it.Because of this, the top executives could not help but speculate about this strange phone. In the past, Mr. Valor would instantly pick the phone up as soon as it rang,
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 166
Serenity was not even sure if she could meet Jackson if she really went to Valor Group's office building in the afternoon, but there was nowhere else she could go to find him anyway. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized how little she knew of him. She did not even know where he lived!When she finally arrived at Valor Group headquarters, she discovered that not only was there no chance to meet Jackson Valor, but she could not even get inside the building because the security guards had blocked her entrance at the door.She told them that she was there to meet Jackson Valor, but all she got was their sneers and mocking looks."If Mr. Valor would meet everyone who wants to meet him, he'd have no time to do anything else! Do you know how many people like you come here demanding to see him every day?""But at least the others would dress up nicely before asking to meet Mr. Valor. Who would believe that you know Mr. Valor personally when you're wearing shabby clothes like that?"Ser

“……” 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
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
