"J... Jackson..." a moment later, Mary softly uttered his name.Jackson responded with a gentle smile.The atmosphere warmed up again. After the meal, on their way back home, Jackson turned to Serenity and commented, "Mary seems to be scared of me.""She's probably just nervous. Like she said, it's her first time meeting a big shot like you. She’s only seen you in the news before," replied Serenity, "You see, Mary's a housewife. Edward wouldn't let her work due to her leg's condition, so she doesn't have many opportunities to interact with people. It's understandable for her to be nervous since it’s her first time meeting you. You have no idea what kind of rumors there are about you...""Rumors? What rumors?" Jackson raised an eyebrow, displaying interest.Serenity suddenly felt awkward. The rumors about Jackson were far from favorable. They portrayed him as ruthless and cold-blooded. In Solaria, crossing him meant facing dire consequences."Well? What are the rumors? What kind o

Serenity immediately knew that Mr. Smith must be pretty confident about the surgery. But... Mary actually had her Achilles tendon severed when she was young? That's surprising.Was it an accident, or was it... intentionally done? If it was intentional, who would commit such a cruel act against a woman?After discussing the surgery in detail with Mr. Smith, Edward and Mary decided to take some time to think about it before making a decision. Serenity took the elderly couple back to the Valor Residence to have lunch.Edward looked around the house in admiration. He was full of praise for the mansion. Mary, on the other hand, was quiet. Although she walked around the mansion with them, she hardly spoke. However, when they passed by Jackson and Serenity's master bedroom, Mary suddenly asked, "Can I... go in and take a look?""Of course." Serenity opened the door and gestured, "This is mine and Jack's bedroom."Mary stepped inside, surveyed the room, and then approached the door

In the inner hall, there were two portraits, one of Jackson's father and the other of Master Zack. When Mary saw the portraits, her eyes welled up with tears, and she bowed her head in prayer.Edward followed suit."Mary, are you alright?" Serenity asked, noticing Mary's tearful eyes."I'm... I'm fine. I just feel so sad to see your father-in-law pass away at such a young age," Mary said softly."My father-in-law loved my mother-in-law too deeply. When he lost her, he lost his will to live. Perhaps, to him, death was a release," Serenity sighed. What her father-in-law didn't know was that he had passed down his suffering onto the living."How... how did he pass away?" Mary asked."He froze to death by the roadside. Jack was the one who brought his ashes back to the Valor family," Serenity explained.Mary's complexion turned pale, and she wavered, almost losing her balance.Edward quickly stepped forward to support his wife. He asked, "Are you feeling unwell?""Yes, a little bi

She longed to visit her son and meet her two other grandchildren. However, the moment she stepped foot in the Valor Residence, she was overcome by emotions.In the past, she did everything she could to gain entry to the Valor family, but in the end, she could only do so in secret, without Master Zack's knowledge. She even resorted to using Jude's love for her as leverage to openly join the Valor family, but she underestimated Master Zack's ruthlessness, hurting both Jude and herself as a result."He would forgive you. If he truly loved you, he wouldn't want to see you in so much pain," Edward reassured his wife, embracing her gently.He was drawn to her the moment they met despite her right Achilles tendon being severed and her face being disfigured.They had been married for twenty years now. When he asked for her hand in marriage, she shared her past with him. It didn't dissuade him from marrying her.He knew that there were two people in her life she had always felt extreme

"Yeah. Mr. Smith said the reason she has difficulty walking is due to the improper treatment she received in the past, which worsened as she got older," Serenity explained.Noticing Jackson's increasingly tense expression, Serenity asked, "What's wrong? Are you alright?""I..." He took a deep breath and massaged his forehead, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some work to do. I'll go take care of it in the study. Don't wait for me."With that, he hastily left the room and made his way to the study.Once inside, Jackson forcefully shut the door and leaned against it heavily.Flashes of the conversation he had with Walter in the detention center replayed in his mind. Walter said, "By the way, Young Master, weren't you always searching for your mother's whereabouts? Well, let me give you a clue. After your father's death, Master Zack found your mother and gave the order to sever one of her Achilles tendons. He actually wanted to completely cripple her, but unfortunately, she m

"No problem!" Lisa agreed.Back at her desk, she diligently worked on her tasks and made the necessary handovers. By the afternoon, news of her pregnancy had spread throughout the office.Her curious coworkers, always hungry for gossip, began speculating about the identity of the baby's father. "Lisa, is your baby's father Terry White?" a coworker asked.A group of coworkers started gathering around Lisa. "Wow, so Lisa is going to marry into a wealthy family?""Lisa's gonna be a rich woman after this!""Wow, I'm so jealous!"Before Lisa had a chance to respond, someone immediately dampened the mood. "Ah, some people really think they can marry into a wealthy family by getting pregnant with a rich man's baby. If it were so easy to marry into a wealthy family, the wealthy families would already be overflowing with people.""That's true. I heard Terry White already left Solaria a few days ago. If he really intended to marry Lisa, he would have taken her with him.""Lisa, I hope

Monica fell into deep thought. The so-called parties hosted by the socialites were essentially matchmaking events. In the past, Terry would never have attended such gatherings.But he would now. Did it mean he had truly moved on from Lisa? Although Terry had kept his promise and had bought the Hart family's assets for a generous amount of money as agreed upon, that sum was far from enough to quell Monica's anger.She had lost everything, all because Terry wanted to avenge Lisa Quest!It's all Lisa Quest's fault! Monica didn't dare to touch Lisa Quest before because Terry was protecting her. But now that Terry had abandoned Lisa, Monica wanted Lisa to pay!A smug smile appeared on Monica's lips as she recalled the moment when she drove past Lisa outside the mansion that morning.So Lisa had indeed misunderstood!'Terry White, you love Lisa Quest so much and endured so much hardship for her, but what good did it do? In the end, a single misunderstanding is all it takes to separ

She couldn't help but feel scared whenever she saw her son's eyes that bore an uncanny resemblance to hers. His eyes were always so sharp and calm, as if they could see through her, as if they were silently condemning her for what she did in the past."The doctor said you have to stay in the hospital for about a week. After that, we'll go back to Latveria. No one will know," Edward said.Mary nodded. After returning to Latveria, she might never come to Solaria again, "Edward, before I leave, I'd like to visit Jude's grave. I... I've done him wrong, and I want to apologize to him in person.""Then... let's talk to Serenity about it. I'm sure she’ll agree," Edward said, "But you must control your emotions. Don't give anything away."Meanwhile, in the hospital's blood test laboratory, someone carefully handed Connor a vial of blood sample and said, "Here you go.""Good job. Don't let anyone know about this," Connor warned."Yes, yes, I understand," the other person answered.Connor

“……” 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
