My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 239
"I know." Aria suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. The only thing she could do now was to go to Serenity and ask her directly.She must find out what the relationship between Serenity and Lucas was!When Serenity came out of the bathroom in the evening, she saw from the gap underneath the door connecting the two rooms that the light in the other room was turned on.Was Jackson... home?Serenity knocked on the door. She wanted to talk to him about the matter of going to work in his car.However, the door was not closed properly, so when she knocked on it, it was instantly pushed open. She immediately saw a large projection on a screen diagonally to her left. It was a video conference. She could see many foreigners on the screen.The people in the video conference obviously saw her too. They all turned towards her."That's a woman... What's a woman doing in your room at this hour, Jack?" Someone asked in astonishment."Jack, is she your girlfriend?""Why don't you introduce

Serenity felt like a panda being on display at the zoo."Hmm? Do you really want me to send you to work?" he asked again.Her face became even redder. She answered sharply, "No." She then hastily retreated back to her room and closed the connecting door.Jackson smiled. When he turned around, his face had returned to its usual stoic expression. He walked back to the chair, sat down, and unmuted."Let's continue the meeting," Jackson said indifferently, ignoring the curious looks."Jack, was that the person who called you during our last meeting?" Someone could not hold back his curiosity anymore and asked.Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you really want to know?"The man shivered upon hearing that. He laughed it off and said, "Umm... Yeah, let's continue the meeting."Although the meeting went on normally after that, all of them could not stop thinking of one thing – their CEO was living together with a woman!Aria went to the rental house to look for Serenity, but

Aria's face turned stiff. However, she could not afford to get mad right now, so she could only put on a fake smile. She took out her wallet and asked Serenity, "How much?""$106," replied Serenity.Aria took out $200 from her wallet, trying to act generous. "Keep the change. Consider it a gift from me."Serenity scoffed. She took the money and said, "A gift from you? Please, I'm the one who's showing you kindness by only taking this much. If I press charges for assault, how much do you think you would have to pay?"Aria blushed profusely. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask so no one saw it.She had almost forgotten that Serenity used to be a lawyer!"I would never hurt you on purpose." Aria put on a fake smile. "It was an accident, I swear.""Aria, what's the point of putting on a show in front of me?" Serenity looked at Aria in amusement, "You and I both know what kind of person you are. There's no one else here. All this acting will just make me think that you're a clown."

But the women were under the illusion that they were being spoiled.Aria took off her sunglasses and glared at Serenity with eyes that looked like they were spitting fire. "Serenity, Lucas is mine!""You should tell him that, not me," Serenity replied coldly."You..." Aria harrumphed and walked away furiously.Since she could not get any answer from Serenity, there was no point in wasting her time. However... she would make Serenity pay for what she said today!What did Serenity mean by "it's not like you'll be Lucas Gomez's girlfriend for long"? She would be Lucas Gomez's last girlfriend!She would not concede Lucas Gomez to anyone no matter what!That night, Serenity received a voice message from the organizer of the extras. He asked her to go to the same filming venue again on her day off this week."The director said you did pretty well in some of the shots. There's a group scene that they still haven't filmed yet. They want to use the same group of extras as last time for

Her face became even redder. She tried her best to move her face away from his fingers, but his fingers followed her like a shadow; she could not avoid them at all."Jackson Valor, stop teasing me," she said, short of breath. Under the light, her almond-shaped eyes did not look as gloomy as usual; in fact, due to her anger, they looked very spirited.He stared at her eyes in fascination. He had seen many eyes that were prettier, but this was the only pair of eyes that could fascinate him like this.Looking into her eyes, it made him want to monopolize her gaze. He did not want her to look at other men with those eyes."What if I'm not teasing you? What if I tell you that I can give you as much money as you want? Would you be willing to put up with me?"She could feel the coolness of his touch on her lips, as if his fingertips were continuously taking away her heat."I'd only take what I earn with my labor," she said, but she could not stop her heart from beating fast.He must be

"Don't say that, Melly!" Someone chided her."I'm just stating a fact," the woman named Melissa Zest snorted."But it's also a fact that she just got off a BMW," another person said."Maybe she managed to land a rich guy. Some people don't have any talent, but they know how to seduce men," said Melissa, her voice filled with jealousy.Last week, she thought Serenity was really unlucky to offend the second female lead, but who could have expected the prince of the entertainment industry to suddenly step forward and carry her all the way to the break room?Melissa was incredibly jealous. She had always dreamed of getting an opportunity like that. Melissa regretted it for days afterwards.If she had known, she would have volunteered when Aria Lewis asked Serenity to demonstrate the kneeling and kowtowing. Although it was humiliating, it won Lucas Gomez's attention, so it was definitely worth it.Melissa thought the luxury car just now must belong to Lucas Gomez. He must have asked

Everybody in the crew and cast had to pander to her. Even if Lucas had saved Serenity once, it was only a little incident; no one would offend Aria for an extra.The director told everyone to take their spot, and filming started.When they reached the scene where the extras had to kneel, a member of the crew suddenly ran to the director's side and said a few words in the director's ear. The director looked surprised. He got up and left in a hurry.Except for those who were in the scene, everyone else looked curiously in the direction the director had gone to. They wondered what had happened to make the director leave in such a hurry.They saw the director walking up to a man in a beige trench coat. The director lowered his head slightly as he spoke to the man and seemed to be showing the man a lot of respect. Seeing this, they speculated that the man was probably someone very important.The director was decently famous in the industry. He would not talk to an ordinary person like

Most of the people there did not hear the conversation between Jackson and the director. When they saw Jackson walking towards the group of extras, they could not help whispering and speculating among themselves.Several of the female extras were overjoyed to see Jackson walking towards them. They put on what they thought was their most lovely smile.Melissa Zest was naturally one of them. She wished she could just leap into Jackson's arms.She was even thinking if she should pretend to faint or accidentally stumble into Jackson so that she could start a conversation and get acquainted with him.After all, he was Jackson Valor, a man who could move mountains in Solaria.If she could catch Jackson Valor's eye, even if she only ended up as his mistress, it would be something that many women could only dream of.Moreover, she heard that Jackson Valor was not that interested in women. His only fiancée died in a car accident more than three years ago. If she actually managed to seduce

“……” 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
