It was just a play to confuse them. Many preparations were made to prevent Queenie and Martin from discovering the truth. No one could have done it in Solaria. It wasn’t easy for Jackson to be able to pull it through either. “I'm doing this because Serenity hopes that no one can get away with it after breaking the law.” Jackson smirked and continued, “Let’s sit down and watch, it’ll be over soon.” It didn't take long for the judge to pass the sentence.Martin was sentenced to life imprisonment, while Queenie was sentenced to three years of probation. Queenie smiled with satisfaction when the judge concluded the case. Martin was in disbelief and shouted, “No way! Why did she get probation?! She’s the mastermind behind this!” No one listened to him. Soon, Serenity came to the room and told Clara, “You’ll be meeting Queenie in a while. Ask her where Summer is.” “Thank you, Serenity!” “No problem. She’ll return to the detention house after she reveals Summer's whereabout
“I swear I know where Summer is. What I can offer is to text you guys her whereabouts before the plane takes off. I believe that the Valors can stop the plane from flying if I keep quiet about it,” Queenie said.Serenity stared at Queenie and pondered momentarily. “Well, then. I hope you won't go back on your word.” “Sure.” Queenie smiled. 30 million dollars were soon transferred into Queenie's account, and a flight was prepared for her. Although she couldn’t leave the city during her probation period, the Valors helped her to pull the strings. In the airport, Queenie kept looking at her phone while enjoying Serenity and Clara's escort. Before boarding the plane, Queenie smirked at Clara. “Summer probably didn't think that there were still people who were going to save her from hell. You’re so kind, Clara. I’m safe and sound thanks to Summer. I can even enjoy my time abroad.” After saying that, Queenie exited the ticket gate. “Don’t worry. She’ll get nothing in the end,” S
She was still in Solaria Airport. She looked around, and the bright wordings “Welcome to Solaria” caught her eyes. ‘I’m still… in Solaria? The plane took off and landed back in Solaria. What the hell is going on?! That was clearly a flight ticket abroad. What’s wrong? Why are the other passengers so calm?!’ Her mind raced. Queenie’s eyes widened when she saw a police car approaching. She went limp and her expression changed when she realized what was going on. Soon, the police officers walked up to her. “You’re under arrest, Queenie Yale. Come with us!” “I… I haven't committed anything, I've been put on probation by the court! Besides, I didn't leave the country, you have no reason to arrest me!” Queenie wailed. The two police officers handcuffed her quickly without listening to her explanation. “Let me go! How could you abuse your powers and arrest people at will?! I want to file a complaint! I want to expose you guys to the media! Why are you arresting me?! I’m not a cr
Queenie couldn’t care less anymore. She went out of her way and shouted at the passengers on the same flight. “The police are abusing their powers! They are arresting me without any reason!” She wanted to use the public opinion to save herself. However, the passengers weren't bothered about her except for a few who looked her way. No one came up or recorded what was happening with their phones. “It’s no use doing that, Queenie. Everything is staged. These passengers are all actors. They boarded the plane with you to trick you into thinking that you’re flying abroad.” Serenity's words clear up Queenie’s doubts. “Actors?!” Queenie was stunned. “Yeah. The trial was also an act. Your trial is in a month. So, you’re still a suspect.” Queenie couldn’t comprehend what was happening for a moment. ‘Everything was an act? My probation was a lie? I still have to wait for another month for my real trial?!’ She realized that she wouldn’t be sentenced to probation in her real trial
“That’s true, but how can we check out the hospitals one by one? There are so many of them,” Clara said anxiously. She was surprised to hear that Summer was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Was she mentally ill now?“We’ll check Summer’s hometown and some of the neighboring cities first. It will be easy as long as we have her name and picture and she doesn’t hide her identity. We will only go back to Queenie if we can't get anything,” Serenity said. “Thank you, Serenity,” Clara said gratefully.If it wasn’t for Serenity’s plan, she would end up letting Queenie off the hook and escape abroad with the money, not getting any information about Summer's whereabouts.Judging from the fact that Queenie had sent her a fake location, Queenie had no intention of telling her where Summer was. “You should only thank me when we find out where Summer is.” Serenity sent Clara back to her apartment. When Wilson saw them, he couldn't help but ask, “Did Queenie tell you anything about Su
She was extremely worried about Summer’s current condition. Her mind was still foggy even after the shower. Clara stepped out of the bathroom to see Wilson waiting for her outside. “You’re done?” “Yeah.” “I’ve prepared a glass of warm milk for you in the living room. You’ll sleep better after drinking it.” Wilson led her to the couch in the living room before handing her a glass of warm milk.Clara spaced out as she looked at the glass of milk. Back then, Summer would secretly get milk for Clara during her pregnancy in prison. “You need nutrition as you’re pregnant now. I can’t do anything much for you, but I still have ways to get milk for you.” Tears rolled down Clara’s cheeks when she thought of Summer’s kindness. She wiped away the tears, but they were rolling down non-stop. “I’m sorry. I don’t feel like drinking the milk.” Clara choked. Wilson felt a little heartbroken and jealous when he saw Clara crying non-stop. Was he jealous because she wasn’t cryi
He would willingly do anything to make her stop crying. -Clara hadn’t expected Wilson to take the initiative to search for Summer. She was sure of it when she saw Wilson calling his men to get a list of patients in psychiatric hospitals across the country over the past 10 years. Clara was surprised that he would help her on the condition that she stopped crying.She was grateful that he was willing to help. The lights in the room had been turned off, and Clara looked at the person beside her. The moonlight from the window shone on his sharp features. Wilson’s expression softened after he fell asleep. Clara recalled the moment he had wiped her tears and told her not to cry.He looked like the same Wilson who hadn’t been hypnotized, the one who still loved her. However, it was just an illusion. Clara subconsciously reached out and touched his face, but she stopped suddenly. They were so near yet so far from each other. “Thank you, Wilson. Sorry for hurting you. Yo
“Where is her finger?! She used to have perfect hands!” Clara exclaimed anxiously. Serenity said, “We’re not sure about it. She was already missing a finger when she was admitted 8 years ago.” “I’m going to Landford. I want to see her!” Clara said. “No way! You’re not fit to go,” Wilson said. “I have to save Summer!” “I can get someone to check on her and make arrangements suitable for her after assessing her current mental state. But you’re not allowed to go. What will you do if she does have mental problems and attacks you?” Wilson said. “Summer’s not mentally ill! Something is wrong with the records! Didn’t Queenie say that Summer is living a life worse than death? Right, Queenie might know something. She wouldn’t say that if Summer was mentally ill!” “Anyway, you have to stay in Solaria. I will send someone to take care of the things in Landford,” Wilson insisted. Clara reached out and grabbed Wilson's sleeve. “Wilson, please let me go to her. I won’t feel at ease i
“……” 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
