It must have been a flashback of Jackson triggering the device.Master Zack's recording clearly stated that once the device was pressed, it would explode when time ran out, but Jackson focused solely on comforting her despite imminent danger to himself."I will handle any matters regarding Zeke Shaw from now on, so please don't contact or see him and his family again," Jackson said between gentle kisses to her lips.Still lost in recollection, Serenity was jolted back by a sting on her neck. Beneath Jackson's sea-like gaze, she grew self-conscious. "What are you thinking about?" he looked right into her eyes and asked, noting that she was clearly lost in thought.He mentioned Zeke Shaw just now, so was she dwelling on her earlier conversation with him? Was she reminiscing about their past?"Nothing," she assured him hastily. "I'm just thinking that you're right. If you were there, you would have fought to protect me.""Then, can you promise not to meet with Zeke Shaw or anyon

Fortunately, Jacqueline didn't ask further, and instead turned her head to whisper with Micah.Serenity noticed that the two siblings had often spoken in hushed tones like this for the past week, as if they had little secrets. However, she didn't mind it. After all, siblings sharing secrets meant that they're bonding well. She was initially afraid that they wouldn't get along since they had been apart since infancy.Moreover, Micah wasn't a very friendly kid.It warmed Serenity's heart to see the two children get along."Do you really not feel hot?" Jackson's voice sounded in Serenity's ear. She turned her head, and her lips almost brushed against his cheek.Embarrassed, she insisted "I... I don't!" Right now, they were standing so close that Serenity could clearly see his every eyelash and the reflection of herself in his pupils. Their breaths mingled as one."Really?" he smiled knowingly. She cleared her throat and reminded him meaningfully, "Next time, um... be more careful.

When the performance came to an end, many people around them applauded. But Jacquelin looked at the little boy with confusion. She approached him, asking, "Why did you play bad on purpose when you can clearly play well?"This remark immediately drew the attention of the adults nearby, one of whom said, "What are you saying, little girl? He played beautifully!""That's right, he played well. This is a difficult piece. Even those who have practiced for many years would still find it hard to play it that well!""But he clearly played poorly on purpose," insisted Jacqueline. She stared right at the little boy, intent on discerning the truth.The boy ignored her, preparing to leave. Swiftly, Jacqueline grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Can you play it again? This time, play it properly. Don't play poorly on purpose."He scowled, wishing to pull away, but Jacqueline held on tight.Serenity was about to ask her daughter to let go when another tiny figure sprinted towards Jacqueline and th

"Hey, is this really alright? Are they really going to let her play? That piano's worth millions. If she damages it, the repair cost would be pretty costly."Sure enough, a staff member barred her way. "Why can he play but not me?" Jacqueline asked, perplexed by the difference in treatment."He's different," the staff member replied."What's different about him?" Jacqueline asked.Then, another staff member whispered in the first staff member's ear. The staff member who stopped Jacqueline immediately changed his attitude and stepped aside respectfully. "I'm sorry, young lady... You can play the piano."Jacqueline sat down, ignorant of the reason for the change in his attitude. Serenity turned to Jackson and asked curiously, "What happened? Did someone recognize you?" Jackson shrugged nonchalantly. "Maybe," he answered.The crowd was ready to see Jacqueline make a fool of herself.Serenity, Jackson, and Micah, on the other hand, were not worried at all. After all, they were

Anna suddenly rushed forward and accused Jacqueline, "You didn't really play just now, did you? You played a recording to fool us!"That had to be what happened. She had seen it before on TV, people lip-syncing to songs and pretending they were the ones singing!Jacqueline must have done the same thing. There's no way she could have played such a piece.The boy remarked coldly, "Fool." Anna flushed red as crimson roses.Jacqueline, meanwhile, took the boy's hand again and said, "I want to hear you play for real. It must be beautiful. We can even play a duet together. It's boring to duet with adults like Mr. Big Beard. We're about the same age, so it would be fun to play together!"The little boy's gaze returned to Jacqueline's face. Play together with her...?Meanwhile, Anna turned around in embarrassment and threw herself into Gwen's arms. "Mommy, let's go home, let's go home! I don't want to stay here anymore!"She would only feel more embarrassed if she stayed.Gwen consoled

Gwen flashed a smile for the viewers, artfully posing as her broadcast began. But inwardly she calculated, awaiting the moment.As the crowd that had gathered around to watch the children play the piano earlier was dispersing, a voice suddenly cried out, "Clear my name, you corrupt lawyer!"A plain-clothed man held high a banner reading "Unethical lawyer Serenity Lewis ruined my life!""Serenity Lewis, you conspired with your famous mentor to destroy my life, but you're protected by your powerful husband, Jackson Valor of the Valor Group, so an ordinary guy like me can't do anything to you. However, I refuse to believe that justice cannot prevail!" Lark Jefferson approached Serenity and Jackson while shouting his accusation, hoping to draw the onlookers' attention.And indeed, many people around stopped in their tracks and turned their gaze to him.Jackson pursed his lips with a scowl as he moved Serenity and the two children behind him. His bodyguards emerged silently and shielde

"You...!" Lark stammered, rattled by her calm rebuttal. "You're a lawyer, so I know I'm no match for you in an argument, but I have proof that you and your mentor have an inappropriate relationship!"Lark took out a large stack of photos from his pocket and scattered them around. These photos showed Serenity and Mr. Klein in intimate poses. Because the photos were scattered around, a lot of people in the vicinity picked them up and inspected them.They immediately looked at Serenity in a different light.Gwen was secretly pleased. Even if it was later discovered that these photos were fake, so what? The rumors would have already spread. Who would believe that the photos were fake? People would only think that the Valor family was covering up the truth by claiming the photos were fabricated.Anna squatted down, picked up a photo, looked at it, and then asked Gwen, "Mommy, is this Jacqueline's Mommy? Is she a bad woman?"There was an air of excitement in her voice. Children wouldn't

Barring accidents, the photos would soon be proven to be fake. After that, no matter what Lark said, she doubted anyone would believe him anymore.Shortly after, the police and forensic experts arrived. Jackson, together with his bodyguards, handed over all the photos they had collected to the authorities. The computer and photography experts also showed up not long after that.The onlookers were stunned at the size of the crowd. These weren't just one or two experts, but a whole group! All the well-known computer and photography experts in the city were here! While the Valor family may be able to buy off one or two of them, there's no way they could pay off this many to lie for them.Lark was bewildered, opening and closing his mouth as he struggled to find the right words. The professionals got to work right away. The police questioned Lark about where the photos came from and explained to him which laws he had broken by spreading them around callously.Meanwhile, the forensi

“……” 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
