My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 195
The driver immediately turned the car around and headed towards the hospital.When Jackson arrived at the hospital, Master Zack was still getting emergency treatment. Jackson waited outside the emergency room with complicated feelings.This day would come for even the strongest man.In the past, he always thought of his grandfather as powerful, ruthless and cold-hearted. The only person his grandfather would show affection to was his father.Everyone else was just a pawn to him, including his own grandson!Master Zack only saw Jackson as the future heir of the Valor family, not as his grandson. There was no family love at all between them.After 2 hours, the door of the emergency room opened. A doctor came out and told Jackson, "Master Zack's condition has stabilized, but he already had several surgeries before. At his age, it's a question of when rather than if. Maybe he has a few years left, maybe a few months – no one can say for sure."Jackson naturally understood no amount

In his opinion, the men of the Valor family should never fall in love with any woman."You..." Master Zack's face was red with anger, which was obviously bad for his health considering he was just in the emergency room two days ago.But Jackson did not intend to appease Master Zack. He said flatly, "Grandpa, since I dare to tell you this today, it means that I absolutely have the ability to protect her. You should worry about yourself. The doctor said if you take good care of yourself, you can live for a few more years."Master Zack seemed furious. He laughed and said, "As expected of my grandson. Looks like you really are in love with that woman. Have you forgotten what happened to your father? Do you want to follow in your father's footsteps?""I haven't forgotten. Even if I do love a woman, I won't allow her to control my life," he responded.Master Zack mocked, "Your father said the same thing! But what happened in the end? He threw his life away for a woman!""I'm not him!"

"How do you think Serenity Lewis will react when she finds out the truth?" asked Master Zack.Jackson suddenly smiled, but his eyes were cold. "She’ll never find out the truth."Master Zack scoffed. "You think that's possible? If I can uncover the truth, so can she..."Before he could finish, Jackson interrupted him. "She definitely won't. Right, grandpa?"His voice was low, so it was only audible to both of them. But more importantly, Master Zack saw a threatening look in his grandson's eyes.His grandson was actually threatening him for the sake of a woman? A feeling of uneasiness surged in Master Zack.Would his grandson really not be controlled by a woman in the future?Or maybe... things would get even worse than that?That weekend, Serenity took a bus to the hospital where her grandmother was.Her grandmother's ward was crowded with her relatives. When they saw Serenity, they reacted in various ways.Francis, Desmond, and Theresa looked at Serenity with a mix of fear a

Serenity immediately knew what was going on. They probably called her over to make her pay.If she guessed correctly, they must have prepared a script in advance.As expected, Francis immediately said, "Dad, we don't have any money. I don't even have the money to hold a wedding for my son. That's why Myran is still single."Desmond followed up with, "Yeah, Dad, we really don't have any money!" He then turned to Serenity and said bitterly, "Serenity, we only tried to marry you off to the Foster family because we're so poor that we had no choice.""What? Just because you're poor, you can marry me off to a moron? Does being poor make you right?" Serenity retorted coldly.Desmond was at a loss for words, but Francis immediately complained, "Your two cousins can't find matches because we're too poor. They have to keep the Walker family line going. Your Granny treats you very well, so shouldn't you repay her? Besides, you're an ex-convict, so you should feel grateful that someone is wil

Their expressions instantly changed. Theresa immediately questioned, "What do you mean by that?""It means I don't intend to pay $30,000!" Serenity said coldly, "I never claimed to know any big shot. Granny is your mother, Aunt Theresa. It's your duty to take care of her. Why are you asking me for travel expenses and meal costs when I'm not even a Walker? Don't you find it ridiculous?""That can't be right, Serenity. Your Uncle Francis and Uncle Desmond saw the big shot carrying you out of the Foster Residence with their own eyes.""I don't know anything. All I remember is that I was drugged by my two uncles and I lost consciousness," said Serenity mockingly, "Maybe that guy simply had a strong sense of justice and tried to help when he saw two men drugging their own niece. Why don't you ask Uncle Francis and Uncle Desmond who he is? I want to know too because I'd like to thank him personally.”Henry Walker and his children exchanged glances.She did not know him?! But that's impo

"We'll take your mother home and tell Serenity we can't afford to pay for her treatment. Let's see if she’ll pay then!" Henry said angrily."But what if she really takes us to court?" Francis said uneasily.Desmond quickly added, "Yeah, she used to be a lawyer. Besides, she knows a big shot now... If she really sues us, I don’t think we have any chance of winning."Henry rubbed his chin and said unhappily, "Then you three take care of the remaining three quarters of the bills.""Us?" Theresa asked in disbelief."What else can we do? Wait for that girl to sue?" Henry glared at his daughter, "If you don't pay for the medical bills, you won't get a dime of the resettlement compensation!"Theresa instantly shut up. Although she was already married, Henry had promised to share some of the resettlement compensation with her.Her whole family was counting on the resettlement compensation!If Serenity really sued them, they might actually have to give her a share of the resettlement c

"She deserved the consequences for doing what she shouldn't have," Lucas responded casually, almost as if it did not matter at all.When Serenity heard that, her heart skipped a beat. Had Lyra been banned and forced out of the entertainment industry? She would no longer be a star and would have to return to an ordinary life.However, would she be willing to accept her fate? Not many people would accept a mediocre life, particularly those who had tasted success. Mediocrity would be unbearable to them."Why? Feeling bad for her?" Lucas stated, looking straight at Serenity, "Lyra was rude to you the other day.""I'm not feeling bad for her. She probably doesn't need my sympathy," Serenity answered, "Don't bother treating me to a meal to apologize. I have to catch the bus back to Solaria.""But I insist. I must treat you to a meal," Lucas said.Serenity rejected him, disinterested, "I don't want to. Are you going to force me to?""I don't like to use force, but it would be nice to d

Serenity wished she had nothing to do with Jackson anymore, or so she thought. After all, his existence had been a nightmare to her. She could not believe she was thinking of him, wanting him to save her!"Why did you come here?" Lucas's cold voice rang in the car."My grandmother is sick. I'm here to visit her," Serenity answered. She could refuse to answer, but he could find out with a little investigation."Your grandmother lives in this town?" Lucas asked."Yeah.""So, you... Have you lived here before?" Lucas asked with some hesitation in his voice."I lived here for some time as a kid, but I went back to Solaria when I grew up," Serenity explained."Is that so? Did anything special happen to you when you lived here as a child?" Lucas's fingers on the steering wheel tightened a little as he asked this question."I don't understand what you mean by something special," Serenity replied. "Besides, I was very young when I was here. Even if something special happened, I may not

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3371
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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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'
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3366
"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
