So, Aria's backer behind the scenes was Lucas, huh?"Fine. I'll send you a copy of the receipts for the medicines I buy and the proof of the loss of wages or whatever. Please take care of the payment." Serenity said before turning to Lucas. "Mr. Gomez, thank you for today. I'll take my leave now."After saying that, Serenity left the lounge, leaving Lucas and Aria behind.Lucas stared coldly at Aria, which caused her heart to race.Aria forced a smile and said, "Lucas, why are you looking at me like that? By the way... About my sister... Have you met her before?""What, are you trying to dig for information?" Lucas shot back instead of answering."I... was just curious. My sister never mentioned it," she said."Of course. Your sister lives in a rundown and small rented house, working as a street sweeper, and now, she's just an extra. For the sake of 330 dollars, she kept kneeling and bowing to her own sister. I do wonder why she never mentioned it to you?" Lucas said in an unusu

It turns out what Aria thought was discreet had been so blatantly and simply exposed by him."Do you know why I didn't reveal it earlier? Because it didn't bother me much. You were so eager to act in front of me, so I thought I should let you earn some hard-earned money, right?" he said casually.She looked stunned, and her face turned red. It felt as if someone had slapped her face several times. It was both hurtful and embarrassing."However, some people go overboard with their acting, thinking too highly of themselves," Lucas's expression darkened as he took the expensive watch off Aria's wrist and played with it. "I can bring you up, but it doesn't mean you can act recklessly. Otherwise, I can lift you as high as I want and make you fall just as miserably."As he finished speaking, he released his grip, and the watch fell heavily to the ground, forming fine cracks on its surface.Aria gasped and tensed, clearly frightened by the man's words and actions."Also, you don't need

Even though tonight's banquet had some top-tier celebrities in attendance, Jackson was in no way inferior to those A-list actors. In fact, his presence was even more captivating. Despite possessing a beautiful face, it was his enchanting eyes, known in the journalist circle for their alluring charm, that truly stole the show. It was indescribably enchanting when he gazed at someone with those alluring eyes with a twinkle in them, accompanied by a faint hint of a smile on his lips. Regardless of gender, anyone would be drawn to him.However, when those eyes turned cold, they exuded an inexplicable sense of pressure.At this moment, Jackson had his eyes partially closed, surrounded by his bodyguards and the venue's security personnel. His lean and well-tailored black suit accentuated his slender and proportionate figure, exuding a sense of elegance from head to toe.Jackson had always been known for his impeccable fashion sense, and this was a consensus in the journalist circle.

Jackson glanced at Caleb in disdain, and Caleb overheard a socialite nearby muttering, "Wow, he even looks good when he rolls his eyes!"Caleb was speechless at that and had an urge to throw up. Jackson had merely rolled his eyes and these infatuated girls were making a big deal out of it?!Just as Jackson removed his gloves, Caleb suddenly discovered something. He quickly snatched the gloves from Jackson's hand."Huh... these gloves seem to be hand-knitted, but the craftsmanship isn't that great," Caleb commented with a puzzled expression. "And the yarn, it looks like old yarn. Did some store scam you by selling you such gloves?""Who said I bought them?" Jackson replied nonchalantly.Caleb's jaw dropped in disbelief. If he hadn’t bought them, then was it possible... "Did someone knit them and give them to you?"Jackson didn't answer, but his expression confirmed it.Caleb felt his head spinning from the information. Someone had given them to Jackson? Considering Jackson's pe

Caleb was joking when he made the remark. He had grown accustomed to his friend changing girlfriends, and it would be a real surprise if Lucas went a prolonged period without doing so. But if Lucas were to replace his current little star, it would be the shortest relationship he had ever had."Well, I suppose you could say that," Lucas calmly replied, his gaze still locked with Jackson's.Caleb didn't think much of it, but suddenly, Jackson's face darkened, and even the air around them seemed to grow cold and heavy."Hey, Jackson, what's wrong? Why the serious face?" Caleb asked, puzzled by the inexplicable and eerie atmosphere.Jackson ignored Caleb. His inky dark eyes were fixed on Lucas, and the corner of his lips quirked up."That extra, was she your girlfriend's sister?""Yes. Quite a coincidence, isn't it?" Lucas said.Jackson's smile grew wider, but his eyes remained icy cold. "Yes, what a coincidence indeed."After uttering those words, he turned around and walked towar

Just as the person got closer to the camera, their figure became clearer on screen.When Serenity saw the person on the screen, she almost spat out the food in her mouth. It was... Jackson!On the screen, Jackson was dressed in a black suit. He stood tall with a neat hairstyle, looking like a noble and elegant gentleman. The only thing that seemed out of place was the scarf around his neck and matching gloves on his hands, which seemed completely mismatched with the suit.Netizens were already discussing and flooding the screen with comments inside the live stream chat.[Who's that?][He doesn't seem like a celebrity, but he's so handsome! Oh my, I would gladly kneel before his suit pants.][Oh my gosh, is this person really not a celebrity?! If he debuts, I'll be his number-one fan!][Quick, go and interview him! Talk to him! I can't wait!]The internet celebrity smiled brightly at the camera and said, "Let's go and interview him, then. Hopefully, this gentleman will agree t

There were even speculations that Jackson Valor had an argument with someone at the banquet and left in anger. There were also speculations that Jackson Valor was annoyed at being pestered by all the female socialites there, so he left early.In short, there were all kinds of speculations.Serenity read all this like she was reading normal gossip. She also wondered what made Jackson leave so suddenly.There was a knock on the door. Serenity got up to open it and, upon seeing the person standing outside, almost choked."*Cough*... *cough*..." She coughed, her face turning red.Who would have thought that the person whose whereabouts the netizens had been discussing the whole day would suddenly appear outside her door?Jackson frowned and patted Serenity's back to help her get her breath back. "Why are you coughing so hard? Did you catch a cold?"She shook her head and kept coughing. No, she did not catch a cold; she choked because she was shocked at his sudden appearance.When S

Earlier in the evening, his mood turned sour at the thought of her getting bullied on the set. He was anxious to see her.Now that he had seen her, his mood became even worse!Jackson flicked the swelling on her forehead."Ouch!" Serenity could not help crying out in pain.He scoffed. "You can feel pain?"Of course she could feel pain! She's not made of stone! How could she not feel pain when he flicked her with his finger?! Especially since he was flicking her where she was injured!She glared at him.He was so mad that he laughed. "Well done, Serenity Lewis. Well done. You refused to stay by my side without even giving it a second thought, so I thought you must have a lot of backbone and dignity. But then, what happened? You became an extra and was forced to repeatedly kneel and kowtow to your sister. Was that fun?"She bit her lip and subconsciously took a step back. Right now, he felt scary to her for some reason.But every time she took a step back, he would take a step f

“……” 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
