Yes! He was scared! Although Jackson cared about the missing child, Serenity mattered more to him! He could not imagine losing Serenity again. How could he survive without her? Jackson summoned all his willpower to resist breaking down. He turned and looked at the pale Serenity standing two steps away from him and saw something flickering in her eyes."Serenity, don't… Don't ever promise him! Even if he doesn't say anything… I-I'll definitely find out where that child is… No matter what, don't agree to that…. Please, I beg you—"The fear and anxiety on Jackson's handsome face struck Serenity hard. It pained her to see how he seemed so fragile at this moment.Serenity had once sworn to herself that she never wanted him to show such an expression again, but she had failed. His face was full of fear again.Serenity took a deep breath. "Okay," she agreed softly, and her answer stung Jackson.Jackson froze, and tears flowed down his face. She had said okay. She had agreed. Was it a p

'Serenity Lewis. This woman... how could she not be Mr. Valor's weakness?' Walter thought as a surge of inexplicable emotion hit him. When Master Zack was still alive, he feared that the Valor family might fall because of Mr. Valor's weakness one day. Mr. Valor's enemies might exploit his weakness, leading to the family's downfall. That was why Master Zack had left his last words and ordered Walter to get rid of Serenity.Serenity's determination was what made Walter change his mind five years ago. Five years ago, Serenity had sacrificed herself to save Mr. Valor during a life-and-death situation. Five years later, the woman was still the same as before.Upon hearing her words, Jackson had a heavy feeling in his chest, suffocating him. He tightened his grip around her arm, shouting, "Even if anyone tries to use you to threaten me, you must never sacrifice yourself! Do you hear me?!" Serenity looked at Jackson but did not answer him the way he wanted."Serenity!" Jackson raised his

Serenity woke up and found herself in the hospital with Jackson by her side. "Why am I here?""You passed out. I brought you to the hospital just in case. I had the doctor check on you, and it's nothing serious," Jackson explained.Serenity stiffened. As the memories of before she fainted flooded into her mind, she instantly burst into tears. Serenity threw her arms around Jackson, hugging him tightly. "Jack, what do I do? That child! The child is gone! Gone!" she cried out, choking with sobs. Jackson wrapped his arms around Serenity, her body shaking as she sobbed. "What Walter said may not be true. If the child is gone, why didn't he just tell us where the child was buried? He'd rather let the police detain him than tell us where the child is!" Jackson said, still puzzled by Walter's decision. Jackson intuitively believed that the child was still alive. But if the child was alive, what was Walter's purpose in hiding it?"N-Not true?" Serenity muttered and finally stopped c

Serenity thought about her other child, and somehow, Caden, the little boy she had met at the playground during the day, appeared in her mind.Although about the same age as Jacqueline and Micah, Caden was going through a tough time in his foster family. Serenity wondered what would happen to Caden after the fight earlier."What's wrong? Something on your mind?" Jackson's voice rang in her ears."I'm thinking about the boy I saw in the restaurant. The boy who injured someone in the play area earlier. I wonder if his family was angry. Will they reprimand him for fighting?""Hm? Worried about that boy?" Jackson asked."Yeah." Serenity nodded. "Maybe it was the look on the child's face. He reminded me of how you were when I first met you. I'm just a little concerned about the boy.""Like me?" Jackson arched an eyebrow."Maybe it was his eyes and expression. The look on that boy with his empty eyes did not look like it should be a kid's expression. He cares a lot about his sister. I

"Ms. Scott, this is regarding your request to investigate Serenity Lewis's life in Latveria for the last five years. We've completed the investigation. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results, but there's an additional fee." A man's voice spoke to Gwen on the phone.Gwen was relieved to hear that the investigation had come to fruition, but her mood immediately soured at the man's demand. "What, you need more money?" "When you requested the investigation, you didn't mention that she's the current Mrs. Valor, Jackson Valor's wife! I'm already taking a huge risk by giving you this information. You've only paid that much money, which isn't enough."Gwen grew resentful. That much money… But she had already paid 45 thousand dollars! Hiding her spite, she asked the man, "How much do you want?""750 thousand dollars," the man demanded.Gwen almost cursed out loud. 750 thousand dollars! That was extortion!"Do you think the information you're giving me is worth 750 thousand dollars?

Walter was detained in the detention center, and the Valor family would be suing him for what happened to the child. Although Walter might go to court because of the child's matter, he could always deny it. Serenity knew it would be hard to convict Walter without a chain of evidence, especially when they could not mention the incident of her crash into the sea. It was unlikely to punish Walter unless the Valor family found something else! Walter had been with Master Zack for years, after all. He must have done something else, not clean from sin. Serenity went to the detention center to meet Walter alone this time. When Walter saw her, he only said, "Don't bother asking. Whatever you're asking, I can't tell you anything. ""I came to say thanks," Serenity said."What? Thanks?" Walter seemed surprised."Thank you for saving me. I hate you, but I guess you're the one who saved me. You're the one who caused my tragedy. If not for you, I wouldn't have been separated from Jack for f

When Serenity left the detention center, it was still early. She had two hours before picking up the children from the kindergarten, so she went to meet Clara.As Serenity approached Clara's store, she noticed the same black car she had seen last time. Parked in the dark corner just like last time, the man sitting inside had a good view of Clara's store. Serenity immediately recognized Wilson's car. Wilson had not dated in years. He had moved half the Birch Group to Solaria, and Serenity knew it was all for Clara. Some broken things could be mended, but not Clara and Wilson's broken relationship. If Wilson had not pushed Clara over the edge, causing all her misery, he could have been with Clara long ago. Serenity came to the store and saw Clara busy braiding some handsome bracelets. Serenity remembered making a bracelet like this as a child. She would turn ropes of different colors into bracelets. It had been quite popular among girls in her generation."Clara, why are you making

"Adopted?""Yeah, that family is quite complicated. The man remarried another woman after his wife died. The man has a daughter with his late wife and a son with his new wife. Later, he suddenly adopted a child, which is strange. He already has two children, but he adopted another child who's not blood-related," Clara said.Many people in the neighborhood knew the family's history. Clara had lived in the area for years, so she knew. Serenity's heart ached for Caden again. Was Caden not blood-related to his current family? He must be living a hard life in the family. Without his sister's protection, he might get kicked out of the family.What would he do if they abandoned him? Where could he go? An orphanage? Then wait for the next family to adopt him?Finding a good home for Caden would take a lot of work. Those looking for adoption would prefer a younger child. Caden was already old enough to remember things. On top of that, he was not very likable."I'm gonna check on the boy

“……” 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
