Clara was about to leave the place as she talked. However, Martin stopped Clara. “Why are you leaving? Wilson is not here yet.”A whiff of alcohol rushed to her nose. Harvey hurriedly pulled Martin away. “Mr. Brooks, you’re getting tipsy. Why are you making things difficult for a woman?” Then, he turned to Clara and smiled. “Why don’t you call Mr. Birch out to have a meal with us? We have no ill intentions. We just want to discuss business with him. You’ll get your share, and it’ll be a win-win situation for us. Don’t you think so, Ms. Wells? Harvey looked like he was speaking for Clara, but his main purpose was to ask her to call Wilson out. They were playing good cop, bad cop. “You guys have misunderstood my relationship with Wilson. You should go to Birch Group to look for him if it’s anything about business. You don’t have to use such methods to see him.” Just as Clara was about to leave again, Martin pulled her back. “Seems like you want to have it the hard way! Do

Clara kept quiet and ignored Martin. She didn’t want to talk to anyone in the room, but Martin thought that she was acquiescing to his words.As for Queenie, her eyes widened when she heard the word “convicted”. She knew that she had to be pregnant with a son if she wanted to get to the top. The fact that she had also been in jail was a big problem for her too. She was lucky that Harvey’s wife had only given birth to a daughter. Her chances of getting to the top would be greater If she could give birth to a boy and get Martin to befriend Wilson. Queenie pretended that she truly cared about Clara and whispered to her, “Clara, I just wanted to invite you to dinner. I didn’t know that it would turn out like this. However, Harvey’s friends are all from wealthy families. We could take this chance to make some money for a better future.”“Is that so?” Clara said with a straight face. She had never told Queenie about her relationship with Wilson, and the people in the room only knew t

Wilson looked at him coldly. A chill ran down Harvey’s spine. “We… happened to bump into Ms. Wells today, so we asked her to eat together with us. Knowing that she’s your friend, we thought of asking you to join us.” Queenie hurriedly chirped in, “I’m Clara’s friend, who had helped her a lot. I met her by chance and asked her out for a meal. We thought of inviting you to join the fun. Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.” Then, she pulled out a chair beside Clara for Wilson. However, Wilson ignored her and said, “Just now, who was the one who said that I wouldn’t stand up for Clara and that she had to drink even if she didn’t want to? I couldn’t hear it clearly from outside, so did I miss anything besides that?” Martin was embarrassed, and he got up with a smile. “It’s a misunderstanding. I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. I was going to give Ms. Wells a toast.” “A toast?” Wilson sneered. “Clara is pregnant, and she can’t drink. As for me, the doctor has instruc

However, Queenie found her thoughts funny.If Wilson did care about Clara, he wouldn’t let her stay in the tiny store while she was pregnant. Moments later, Martin finally finished the bottle of liquor. Wilson looked at Clara and said, “I’ll take you back.” “Sure,” Clara answered. She knew that Wilson was helping her to establish her authority. At the same time, he was also hinting at the others to respect her and not play any tricks in the future. Clara looked at Martin’s wretched appearance without the slightest bit of sympathy. After all, she would have been at his mercy if she hadn’t called Wilson earlier. Wilson's words were also to serve as a warning to Queenie. Although Queenie had helped Clara in the past, Clara didn’t like being used. Clara was offended by Queenie’s actions today. Just as Clara and Wilson were about to leave, Martin, who was in a mess, rushed toward Clara in anger.From his point of view, it was Clara’s fault that he had lost face in front of o

“Your hand…” Clara looked at Wilson’s right hand. His bandaged hand had been clean before he entered the private room, but now, it was seeping with blood. Wilson followed her gaze and looked down at his hand. “It’s fine. I think the wound reopened,” he said nonchalantly, almost as if it was merely a small matter. Clara thought of the punch that Wilson had thrown at Martin, which made Martin fall to the ground. Wilson’s wound must have opened at that moment. The blood stain on his bandage was getting darker and expanding, meaning that the opened gap of his wound had to be big. “Get in the car,” Clara ordered Wilson. “What?” Wilson was stunned. “Get in the car. Let’s go to the hospital first. Your wound needs a dressing.” Seeing that he was still frozen in place, Clara grabbed his wrist and led him to the car parked in front of them. Then, she instructed the driver, “We’re going to the hospital.” The driver hesitated and looked at Wilson, who didn’t say anything, and only

No matter what, the humiliation and beatings that Clara had suffered sent a chill down Wilson. It was hard for a man to take it, and he wondered how she had managed to get through it while being pregnant. “Sorry,” Wilson murmured with remorse in his eyes. Clara said with a straight face, “Don’t apologize anymore. There was no right or wrong for everything that happened between us. I hope that we can put an end to our grudges and have peace of mind in the future.” Wilson smiled bitterly. All Clara wanted was to live a peaceful life, and he owed her that. “Yeah, I’ll give you peace. I’ll return to Latveria after you give birth to our child. I will put someone else in charge of the subsidiary company in Solaria. You don’t have to worry that I’ll affect your daily life,” Wilson said. Clara looked at Wilson with bewilderment. She had been hoping that he would say that. Since he would leave Solaria after she gave birth, they might only see each other occasionally for their child. S

“I’ll get the same thing as her,” Wilson told the owner of the shop at the cashier. “Got it.” After they were seated, Clara looked at Wilson’s hand and said, “Pay more attention to your hand. Don’t make it worse.” “Yeah, alright,” Wilson nodded obediently like a child. Two bowls of pasta were served the next moment. Clara lowered her head as she ate. Wilson looked at her and thought of the time when they were having pasta together back then. “I’ll learn how to make this in the future, and I’ll cook it for you on your birthday!” Clara had said with a smile. “Are you sure that you can do it?” Wilson laughed. “Of course!” “I don’t want you to go through all the trouble. You can just order takeout.” “But you can feel my love when you eat my handmade pasta. I will prepare this on your birthday every year! You have to eat what I cook to be healthy so that our future child and I can rely on you forever!” Clara had trusted Wilson wholeheartedly back then. However, he ha

However, Wilson’s voice was calm, almost as if he was making a simple decision. For a moment, Clara could only stare blankly into his eyes. She couldn't avert her gaze even if she didn’t want to look at him anymore. It took a while for her to turn around and get into the car. The car slowly drove away after Clara closed the door. Wilson smiled bitterly as he looked at the car that gradually disappeared. He knew that it was best for him and Clara. Then, he called someone and instructed, “Get me the details of those people who dined in the same private room with Clara today.” The people who used Clara were going to suffer the consequences. -The following day, Queenie came to Clara’s store early in the morning and apologized repeatedly.“I’m sorry, Clara. I didn’t know that it would end up like that yesterday. Martin only disrespected you because he was drunk. Don’t mind him.” Clara looked at her and said bluntly, “You planned it for a long time, right? You brought me

“……” 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
