"What happened here? Is anyone bleeding? Anyone else got hurt?" one of the security guards said, seemingly puzzled. Startled by the guard's question, Lisa followed the guard's gaze and saw the bloodstain on the escalator steps. The blood stains were barely noticeable on the dark gray escalator, so Lisa had missed it earlier.That bloodstain! It must be Terry! Terry had fallen on this spot earlier. He was bleeding! Lisa felt something pressing on her chest, making her breathless. Terry was hurt, but he had left without saying anything! She blamed herself for being careless. Terry wore dark-colored clothes, making it hard to see, but she should have been more attentive and noticed it earlier. Lisa was soon home and had trouble sleeping. Her mind would not stop replaying the scene where Terry had fallen on the escalator with her. Whenever she closed her eyes, she thought of Terry, and doubts began to creep into her mind. Terry had gotten injured, but he had left without a word. Wh

"What's wrong? Looking for me?"Lisa was about to go home when a cold voice came from behind and abruptly stopped her dead in her tracks. Turning her head sharply, she found Terry standing not far away!Terry? He didn't leave? Lisa remained still, stunned as she saw Terry approaching her slowly. "Here to see me?" Terry repeated the question, bringing Lisa back to her senses.Taking a deep breath, Lisa replied, "Yes! You fell on the escalator today. Are you hurt anywhere?"Terry fixed his dark eyes on Lisa for a long time before answering. "Are you worried about me?" Terry mused, an ironic smile showing on his lips."Yes, and so what? You're hurt! You should be resting at home. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Lisa argued, her heart trembling at the thought. She wondered what Terry would be doing if she had never opened the window. How long would he have stood here? Terry chuckled, fluttering his eyelashes a little. "So what if I say I came here because I wa

But now… what he had just said simply shattered her fantasy."So," she heard Terry ask her, "are you going to marry someone else and never see me again?"She looked at him in shock, clueless of how to answer him.Terry had no desire to wait for her answer either, so he just turned around and was about to leave. But by then, Lisa had already stepped toward him and grabbed his arm, asking him, "How badly were you hurt?"His tall figure stiffened. His face seemed much paler now under the silvery moonlight."I told you," he replied, "if you've got no feelings for me, don't ever touch me again!""Is it so wrong that I'm worried about someone who just saved me?" she argued."It would be fine if it had been someone else," he said, trying to pull his arm away from her grip. "But not you!"Lisa could feel the pain in her heart intensify, yet she still held onto his arm adamantly and asked, "How badly were you hurt?"It was all she wanted to know–was he okay? Was he seriously injured?

Lisa bit down on her lips hard and said nothing.Terry chuckled."Looks like you don't care at all that I'm in pain, huh?"He said nothing more after that, merely stepping away from her and leaving.Lisa watched as Terry's figure disappeared into the darkness of the night. Only then did she slump down into a squat as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out. She hugged her knees tightly, and her nose stung. She wanted to cry, yet no tears came out. Bitterness filled her mouth.Why did things have to end up this way between them?! What exactly should she do? She had finally made up her mind about him, yet why did her heart waver again all because of him?!—Zeke Shaw never thought that he would see Jenny again. Still, the woman was nothing like the Jenny Hall he remembered. Instead, she was now wearing cheap and plain-looking clothes, and her dry and dull hair was tied up in a simple ponytail with a rubber band. Her facial features had been exquisitely alluring in the

Jenny glared coldly at Zeke, who was grumbling resentfully, and told him, "The only mistake I made was loving you too much back then! You're not worth all the things I'd done for you at all!""You…!" Zeke glared back at Jenny. "All those things you did had nothing to do with love! In truth, you did it all because you couldn't bear living in the shadow of your sister for the rest of your life! You committed so many crimes back then, so now, you should turn yourself in to the police!""What if I tell you I'm not going to do that?""Then I'll call the police myself!" said Zeke, and he promptly pulled out his phone.Just then, Jenny went to the play area in the KFC and waved her hand, shouting, "Come over here, Fred!"A little boy who was sitting in a corner, not playing with the other children but merely sitting there quietly watching everyone else play, slowly stood up and walked out of the play area before heading toward Jenny.Zeke was just about to dial 911, but he instantly pau

Still… Did Serenity say she was going to come back later because she was trying to… cheer her friend up? Images of the past popped up in his mind. He remembered how Lisa had brought Serenity to a bar to watch a certain… "performance".Could it be that she was coming home late because… they were at that kind of place again?In any case, Lisa had already had a bad record in his book.Jackson thought about it and decided to pick up his phone and call Serenity. She answered not long afterward, and he could hear that Serenity was in a noisy place, almost as if she was in a very lively place."Jack, I can't go home yet right now. I'll give you a call when I'm leaving, okay?""Where are you?" Jackson asked sternly."I'm at…"Before she could tell him where she was, Jackson heard Lisa's voice saying, "Stop talking on the phone, Serenity! I spent a lot of money to get all these handsome guys to entertain us, you know! Which one… hiccup! Which one do you think is the most handsome…?"S
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1721
And so, Serenity had followed Lisa into the nightclub, but as soon as they got inside, Lisa instantly demanded to have ten handsome 'princes' keep her company and drink with her. Because of that, they were regarded as troublemakers, and the manager came out to chase them away himself! But as soon as he caught sight of Serenity, he had changed his mind and dared not touch them anymore. He even did as Lisa demanded and assigned ten of the most handsome 'princes' in the nightclub to accompany them.The manager later stood awkwardly at the door to the private lounge that had been closed shut, wishing silently that the two customers who had just come in would enjoy themselves and leave as soon as possible. Who would have thought that among the two women who had come in today to demand the company of ten 'princes', one of them would be Jackson Valor's wife?!The manager had once seen a video about Serenity online, so he recognized her immediately. Strangely though, the video he had see
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 1722
"Okay," Jackson replied in a flat voice as his gaze shifted toward the ten men in the room.Those men had learned from Mr. Jones earlier of Serenity's identity, so as soon as they heard her call the man who had just entered 'Jack', they instantly knew who he was.Mr. Valor! The man rarely ever appeared in the media in Solaria. It was even hard to find any information about him or pictures of him online. Yet now… they got to meet the man in person!"Have you been drinking with them here all along?" asked Jackson, his voice tinged with a certain emotion. The men in the room were all wearing different styles of clothes, and they all looked different, yet they were all pretty good-looking, more than handsome enough to attract women.Serenity shuddered. She sensed the jealousy in his voice, so she hastily explained, "I… I've just been accompanying Lisa to cheer her up, that's all. Besides, I didn't drink that much at all."She had only drunk a few glasses of wine. It was Lisa who had d

“……” 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
