My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 249
"What?" Aria was incredulous. Jackson wanted her to... "You want me to kneel down to her?""Why not?" Jackson casually looked up and asked.Aria was speechless. Her face turned red in anger, but she could not find any response.'Is Jackson trying to get revenge for me?' thought Serenity. Or was he trying to tell Serenity that, even though Aria was backed by Lucas Gomez, he could still make her kneel whenever he wanted?Suddenly, a commotion rose from the entrance.The director turned around and, upon seeing the reason, did not know whether he should be nervous or relieved.Who would have thought that two big shots would decide to pay a visit to the set at the same time today!A tall man in a dark gray coat walked over, his face handsome but indifferent. It was Lucas Gomez.Serenity's eyes widened in surprise.Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to be a little surprised as well.On the contrary, Lucas looked calm when he saw Jackson and Serenity, as if he already k

If she really did quit, all her efforts so far would have been for naught!She did not want to remain a small-time actress forever. She wanted to be famous! She wanted to be a popular star! She even wanted to be an award-winning actress someday!Lucas gave Aria a sideway glance, then asked Jackson, "Do you dislike her?""A little bit," answered Jackson.He said it casually without keeping his voice low, so everyone nearby heard it. Although many of them did not like Aria too, they pity her now.After all, she was one of the few people that the emperor of Solaria had publicly declared his dislike of."In that case, you should quit," Lucas told Aria indifferently, as if it was something that's not very important.But when Aria heard it, she felt like she had been struck by lightning.Quit? He really wanted her to quit the show?! Just like that?! No way!Aria's eyes widened in disbelief. "Lucas... You... You want me to quit the show?""You said it yourself. If Jackson doesn't li

At this moment, Aria directed all her hatred on Serenity. She would not have to suffer such humiliation if not for her!'It's all Serenity's fault!' Aria thought. One day, she would make Serenity payback for all the humiliation she had caused her!Aria's hurricane of hateful thoughts went on and on, but in reality, she had no choice but to oblige. She knelt on her knees, aggrieved. After all, she could not afford to offend Jackson. Lucas was her only support. She could not turn against him either.Aria wanted to be Lucas's last girlfriend!The moment Aria knelt, Serenity frowned slightly. She retreated two steps and spoke to the director, who was trembling. "Sorry, sir. I'm afraid I can't finish my act today. Forget about the pay too. I'll leave first.""Oh..." The director answered with a shudder.Serenity strode to the changing room, preparing to change out of her costume, and Jackson went straight after her.Lucas watched the two leave, an indescribable glint present in his

Just like back then, when Zeke and Serenity were dating, Zeke would always help Serenity whenever there was trouble.Serenity had thought that she could rely on Zeke for the rest of her life. Instead, he had not stood up for her when she really needed his help. Only then had she realized that feelings were unreliable and could be taken back at any time. She had habitually relied on him, but he no longer helped. She had lost everything at that moment, and the despair had almost killed her.She had suffered in prison and was in so much despair, even driven to the brink of considering suicide several times.If Lisa hadn’t... Lisa had visited her often and encouraged her. She might not have survived without Lisa's support.When Serenity thought of her best friend, her heart was filled with deep gratitude.Serenity let out a sigh and unbuttoned her costume, preparing to take it off when she heard footsteps behind her.Serenity was startled and turned to see Jackson walking into the

"I fear getting used to this," Serenity said, somewhat embarrassed. "If it happens more often, it'll become a habit. When it's all gone, I'll fall into despair again.""Why? Have you been hopeless before?" Jackson said casually.Serenity took a deep breath and stopped avoiding his gaze. "Yes. Once."Jackson froze, and his slight smile soon faded from his face. "Can you please leave? I want to get changed," Serenity said, almost pleading.Jackson did not back off. His dark eyes remained fixed on her, his fingers stroking her cheeks, and he seemed to be lost in his thoughts.A few moments later, he murmured, "What if I say nothing will change even if it becomes a habit? Will you still be afraid?"Jackson's face was so close. Her heart thundered in her chest as she stared blankly at him, not knowing how to answer. ***In the meantime, in the changing room, Serenity changed her clothes, blushing. Jackson had left the room earlier, but even so, the touch of his fingers on her fac

"Is that so? Alright. I'll leave her alone," Lucas promised. "After all, she's not the one I'm looking for."Serenity's appearance had a lot of shadows of the girl in Lucas's memory. Sometimes, when he looked at her, he felt that the girl would have grown up to look like Serenity.Either way, it was just a resemblance. Serenity was not the girl."What if she's the one you're looking for? Would you stay put too?" Jackson cocked an eyebrow.Lucas remained unperturbed, but waves of unreadable emotions flashed in his eyes. It was indescribable. "If she is, I won't let go even if it's against you."Jackson's eyes narrowed. "So, it's a good thing she wasn't, right?""Yes, fortunately," Lucas responded and turned to leave.'Fortunately, she isn't her. If she is, things will turn messy!' Lucas thought. He unconsciously reached into his pocket and touched the bracelet inside, wondering how long it would take to find her.Finding the girl in his memory had almost become his obsession.*

Jackson simply ignored Serenity's request. Instead, he pulled her hand closer and gazed down, studying the bruise on the back of her hand.Jackson then pulled the back of her hand closer and blew gently.Serenity gasped and stared at Jackson as he gently blew on her bruise with all seriousness."It'll be better after I blow the pain away," Jackson hushed, his fingertips gently rubbing the bruise on the back of her hand. He was blowing the pain away as if performing a serious task.Serenity's heart was thundering hard, and she choked on her unspoken words, unable to say anything.Serenity treated Jack and Jackson differently. Jack would be a caring brother for doing this, but Jackson... Serenity was overwhelmed, not knowing what to do.The bodyguard standing behind Jackson was shocked. His eyes went wide as he watched this scene. He had never seen Mr. Valor treat a woman like this! He thought that maybe Serenity would become known throughout Solaria before long!"Feeling better?"

There was a hint of gentleness in Jackson's eyes. It was as if he could tolerate her no matter what she did. He was indescribably charming with the light in his eyes and smile on his lips.Serenity suddenly realized that she was being such an idiot. Even if she ordered everything on the menu, this would mean nothing to Jackson.What was wrong with her? She could not believe how she had ordered a crazy amount of food. It was such a foolish way to vent.Serenity was almost discouraged. She then handed the menu back to the waiter in low spirits. "That'll be all.""Is that enough?" Jackson asked with a smile.Serenity bit her lips slightly. After a short moment, she responded, "Yes."The waiter asked politely, "Can you really finish it? These are more than enough to feed seven to eight people. Would it be too much for you two?" Jackson replied indifferently, "That's all for now."Seeing this, the waiter took the menu, turned around, and left.Jackson turned to Serenity. "If it's

“……” 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
