My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2400
Joyce had lived as an illegitimate daughter for many years. It wasn't until the death of Summer's mother that her mother was able to rise in status and she was able to become the legitimate second daughter of the Hope family. Despite this, she was always subjected to mockery and ridicule in high society. It wasn't until Summer was admitted to the psychiatric hospital that Joyce truly gained the respect she deserved.Joyce's face flushed with anger, but she did not know what to say in response. Meanwhile, Yelena frowned slightly at the mention of "the older Miss Hope." That person represented a scandal from the Gerhold family's past."You must have a keen eye for authenticity, Mrs. Solomon. Maybe you and Mr. Solomon can pay a visit to my residence sometime to help me determine the authenticity of the porcelain I recently purchased?" Harry's voice suddenly rang out.Mrs. Solomon, who had mentioned "the older Miss Hope" earlier, had an uncomfortable look on her face. She awkwardly

Standing among the crowd not far away, Weston Stanton looked on with amused curiosity. He twirled the wine glass in his fingers, a small smile appearing on his face. Things in Lanford were becoming lively!-Coming out of the party, Lucas spoke to Serenity. "Where do you live now? I'll take you home.""No need," Serenity refused. "I don't want to risk getting photographed in your car. It'll cause unnecessary gossip again.""Afraid Jackson will misunderstand?" Lucas said, his gaze intent. Serenity met his gaze and answered softly, "Yeah." Her answer was very natural, so blunt and honest. Jealousy quietly struck Lucas. He told himself countless times that he had lost his right to be jealous of Jackson. He had missed his only chance to be with Serenity, and he had never seized the opportunity."If he truly loves you and believes in you, he won't misunderstand anything," Lucas murmured."It doesn't matter. I just don't want to do something that'll cause him to get the wrong idea,

Serenity gave Yelena a small smile. "Yes. I wish I could talk to you, given the opportunity.""Great! Let's meet sometime," Yelena chirped. After saying goodbye to Lucas and Serenity, she took her husband's arm and left.Serenity watched their car drive away and said to Lucas, "Thanks, you did me another favor.""Serenity, anything I can do to help, I will," Lucas replied."Lucas… You don't have to…" Serenity let out a heavy sigh. It was hard to face him like this. "Maybe… Maybe it's fate," Lucas had a pained smile on his face.Serenity's expression grew intent. "Lucas, if it's fate, I trust that your destined other half must be waiting for you somewhere."Was someone else waiting for him? Lucas thought as he watched Serenity get into the car and gradually leave his sight. Serenity had moved forward, but Lucas stayed where he was, unable to move on.Lucas was still stuck in the forest of that hill, in that childhood encounter. Lucas had never truly left the hill while she had

Wilson's whole body went stiff. After an initial stiffness, he gazed up at Serenity with a thoughtful smile. "Why don't you ask Jackson? After all, he's gone through hypnosis too, right?""It's not like Clara doesn't have any feelings for you. I don't know what's on your mind, but I hope you don't hurt her. She's gone through enough," Serenity murmured.Wilson's smile grew sarcastic. "Serenity, you've got it all wrong. She was the one who hurt me. She doesn't care the slightest about me, and she's the one who insists on separating. Now you're asking me not to hurt her?""She doesn't want to hurt you! She just wants to protect you!" Serenity blurted out without thinking.Wilson's eyes mocked Serenity as he listened to what she said. "Protect me? Do I need her to protect me? What makes her think she can protect me? Serenity, aren't you a lawyer? When did you start talking nonsense?"Feeling helpless, Serenity shut her mouth and stopped talking. Wilson had misunderstood Clara too muc

"Oh?" Yelena arched a brow in surprise. "What kind of script?""A story about a lady who came back to her family and got caught in a love triangle. Later, she got into a car accident, and the second male lead died in an attempt to save the heroine. After the second male lead's death, the heroine went crazy, and her family and fiance sent her to the psychiatric hospital," Lucas told the story briefly.Yelena and Serenity's face changed when they heard the story. Yelena shot Lucas a strange look. "This story…""Someone gave me a script. I read it and thought this would be a good movie. But recently, someone told me this story sounded very much like your late brother-in-law's story with someone from the Hope family. Your husband's eldest brother, Nathan, passed away after the car accident. Although Summer Hope survived the accident, she became crazy and went to a psychiatric hospital. Am I right?" Lucas stated.Yelena bit her lip, trying to hide the uneasiness on her face."Mr. Gomez

"Even if it's not, I'll make it happen," Lucas said. In other words, what he just told Yelena was no coincidence."You knew? That I'm approaching Yelena for Summer?""I found out with a little research," Lucas explained. "You came here with Clara, and you've been to the psychiatric hospital to visit Summer. I guessed you were probably here for Summer. Are you approaching Yelena to figure out what happened back then?""Well, yeah," Serenity admitted frankly. "We're trying to figure out the Gerhold family's role in this. Everyone says that Summer went mad because of Nathan's death, but if Summer's true love was Harry, it doesn't make sense for Summer to go insane over Nathan's death."Lucas scowled. "Are you suspecting that Summer isn't mentally ill? She's a normal person who was wrongfully admitted to a psychiatric hospital?" Serenity nodded. "Does sound like it, doesn't it? Besides, Joyce has the biggest benefit of sending Summer to the psychiatric hospital. After her marriage to

Yelena agreed and dialed her husband's number immediately. About fifteen minutes later, North Gerhold arrived and came to the room. Just as he was about to discuss the script, he glanced at Serenity uncomfortably, clearly not wanting Serenity to listen to their conversation."This is my friend, Serenity. She's an acquaintance of Summer and wanted to know more about Summer and Nathan's history," Lucas explained. Realizing what was happening, North suddenly let out a laugh, looking at Serenity with thoughtful eyes. North turned to Lucas and said, "Seems like from the very beginning, you want to know my big brother's story with Summer?"Lucas said nothing and smiled as a reply. North was smart enough to understand Lucas' goals. With that, he decided to tell the truth rather than let someone else dig around the news in some other way, which may cause more trouble to the Gerhold family."Summer and my big brother were just friends. Although Nathan loved Summer, Summer had always trea

North's eyes darkened and narrowed dangerously at Serenity.Just then, Lucas' voice rang in the room. "Mr. Gerhold, Serenity is my friend. If you harm her, I'll make your family's life in Lanford difficult," he warned. North turned to Lucas. "Mr. Gomez, you're very nice to your friend, but is it worth turning against the Gerhold family for a friend?""I owe my life to her. What do you think?" Lucas simply said.After North and Yelena left, Serenity told Lucas, "You didn't have to do this. Why turn the Gerhold family against…""Serenity," Lucas interrupted her, "I know you've never had feelings for me. I won't ask for anything more, but it's up to me to decide what I want to do."Unable to say anything, Serenity got up and said goodbye.Lucas did not offer to see her off, but when Serenity took a taxi back to the hotel, Lucas followed in the car behind. The taxi arrived at the hotel, and Serenity was surprised to see a familiar figure as soon as she got out of the car.Jack!

“……” 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
