Chapter 1671

Author: Anastasia Marie
Penny's face contorted in fury. Her colleagues quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Alright, Ms. Lewis. We're done for today. You may leave."

Serenity got up and turned to leave.

Penny's colleague looked at Penny in disbelief. "What's the matter with you? Your question was way out of line. As a prosecutor, we must stay neutral and be totally free from bias."

Penny was furious. "Just because she's Mrs. Valor, she's acting all high and mighty!"

"As you said, she's Mrs. Valor. Do you think Jackson would forgive her for having an affair with Mr. Klein? Would she have been so confident about the case?" The colleague said, making Penny speechless for a moment.

Reporters surrounded Serenity when she came out of the prosecutor's office, questioning her about her relationship with her mentor. The bodyguards around Serenity kept the reporters away from her, protecting her.

"Ms. Lewis! You were a nobody, but you quickly made it big and became a popular lawyer in Latveria. How did

    "Mr. Valor… I-I was just talking nonsense… I-I didn't mean anything by it…" The reporter stammered.The people around them quickly put down their phones and cameras, not daring to take photos or videos of this incident. Jackson was the formidable Mr. Valor of Solaria. No one dared to take any photos or videos of him, or they might not be able to stay in Solaria any longer."Not gonna say it again?" Jackson hissed, his voice icy. "Then listen. Jacqueline is my daughter. I know my wife well and what kind of person she is. You can try and make all the news you want, but if you try to smear my family, my wife, or my daughter, you'll become an enemy to the Valor family!"Jackson had spoken. His words were meant not just for the reporter under his feet but also for those around him.The reporter responded against Jackson's feet, his chest hurting in pain. The people around them did not dare to say anything. Who would want to make an enemy of the Valor family?Jackson and Serenity finall

    "When we find the mastermind behind this, you can do whatever you want and make him pay the price for his actions!" Jackson reassured. He was willing to do anything for her, whatever she wanted.Serenity stared at Jackson, stunned by how he would spoil her and give her whatever she wanted."It seems you'll help with whatever I want. Aren't you afraid? What if I want to do something bloody and violent? What if I want to kill that person?" Serenity joked."I will, if that's what you want," Jackson responded with a serious look. He would do anything to grant her wish, even if it meant getting his hands bloody."No!" Serenity hurriedly rejected that notion. She met his gaze and said sternly, "I'm just kidding, Jack. I don't want you to dirty your hands for me. Don't ever do it.""Okay," Jackson gently promised, but something flashed in his eyes, and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.-Gwen was in a good mood. Serenity and her mentor were hot news lately, all thanks to Jefferson. The

    Mary Klein, the wife of Serenity's mentor, Edward Klein, even made a post online, questioning Jefferson on the purpose behind his actions. It was unfair for this to happen to the lawyers who had helped victims redress their grievances. If this continued, fewer righteous and generous lawyers would be willing to help in such cases, and allowing someone who slandered another person's reputation out of spite to walk away scot-free without any punishment would be very disappointing to many lawyers.These posts immediately became viral, and those who were on Jefferson's side switched sides after reading so many lawyers' well-reasoned analyses. Many lawyers said they would never have taken on Jefferson's case, and Lark Jefferson was now a public enemy of the lawyers' association! Some netizens even found the records of the live videos from the cases Serenity had taken on in Latveria, where she had won the cases wonderfully. As a result, Serenity gained many fans online. Her new fans praise

    Joy was completely different from who she was five years ago. She was still wearing branded clothes, but they were probably the clothes she used to wear before the Shaw family's downfall. Her branded clothes were from a luxury brand, but they were old and outdated.Joy's hair was messily tied with an elastic band. Her hair seemed a little unhealthy, no longer carefully maintained as before.When the siblings saw the car approaching, they stopped pulling each other. Serenity got out of the car and looked at the siblings. "What are you two doing here? Do you need something from me?"Joy rushed forward, shouting at Serenity, "Serenity! My brother saved your life, and all you did was pay his medical bills! You never showed any gratitude! Is this how you treat someone who saved you?"Zeke quickly pulled Joy with his uninjured hand. "Joy, let's go back! I'm the one who refused. I didn't need anything from her.""Zeke! We need money now! You got injured, and now you can't work for more t

    Serenity was finally back at the Valor Residence. She hesitated for a moment before instructing the bodyguard following her around, "I want to know more about Zeke's mother. Get someone to find out Marcia Shaw's condition and the gap in her medical expenses." "Yes," the bodyguard responded. It did not take Serenity long to learn about Marcia's current situation. According to the investigation report, Marcia was diagnosed with a kidney disease. She did not require uremia dialysis yet, but her condition was pretty serious. Marcia's monthly medical expenses used to cost her about 300 dollars for the conservative treatment. She had been hospitalized some time ago, and she would need approximately 15 thousand dollars to undergo the treatment plan proposed by the hospital.15 thousand dollars. It was a lot of money for the Shaw family in their current situation, and Marcia owed the hospital 3 thousand dollars for her outstanding medical expenses.Serenity mused for a moment and thoug

    Serenity continued walking forward with her bodyguard faithfully following behind her.Serenity had just reached the entrance of the hospital when she heard a voice call out from behind, "Serenity, Serenity!"With a slight frown, Serenity turned around to see Zeke Shaw hurrying over. But before he could reach Serenity, the bodyguard blocked his path."Serenity, I...I have something I want to say to you!" said Zeke."Very well, go ahead," replied Serenity, signaling to her bodyguard who then withdrew his arm."Did you pay off my mother's medical bills and also put $15,000 in her account?" Zeke asked."Yes," Serenity admitted."Why? Shouldn't you hate me and my family?""I did hate you once, but now, the feeling has faded and I don't really feel anything about you anymore. I only paid your mother's bills to clear the debts between us," Serenity said emotionlessly.A mix of embarrassment, bitterness and regret welled up in Zeke's heart - a feeling he couldn't quite describe. It w

    He couldn't help but want to take a few more steps forward, to get closer to her, but the bodyguard beside her simply blocked his path again by raising his hand.Zeke stared at the hand in front of him - she was so near, yet so far that he couldn't reach her. He once thought he could be with her against his family's wishes, but in the end, he crushed his pure feelings for her with his own hands."Serenity... I really did love you once. I really did," Zeke murmured, his hand still reaching out yet unable to reach Serenity.Serenity gazed quietly at this man before her - not yet 40 but looking so weathered. Even after hearing what he said, her heart remained still without a ripple. "Zeke, I wish I've never been loved by you."After saying that, Serenity turned and left, the bodyguard following behind. Zeke faltered, standing rooted as her figure eventually disappeared from view.She said she would not forgive him, that she wished to have never been loved by him! In his life, he had

    “Let me go! Are you trying to rob me in broad daylight?” Jenny struggled angrily.Her cries drew attention from passersby in the hospital. Zeke had also rushed over upon seeing his sister surrounded by a group of men. “What do you guys think you're doing?!”“She took photos she shouldn’t have and she won’t hand them over, so this is how it has to be,” one of the men replied.“What photos? Who are you people?! Let go of my sister!” Zeke shouted fiercely.A chilling voice then cut in from behind Zeke, freezing his blood instantly. “They're my men. They won't let go if I don't tell them to.”That voice... it's Jackson Valor! The man who easily orchestrated the Shaw family’s downfall, the man Serenity loved, and the most untouchable figure in the city!Zeke turned around slowly to find the onlookers mysteriously gone, replaced by security guards blocking the perimeter under Jackson’s command. As expected of Jackson Valor! He could even order the hospital's security guards around. I

    “……” 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
