She smiled. She thought he was just joking. It was an ad to celebrate the marriage between the Shaw family and the Hall family. Who would dare to take it down? Her vision was dark. She could feel the warmth of his hands that were pressing against her skin.After a moment, she pulled down his hands, looked up at him and said, "Jack, thank you." She thought he had said that to comfort her. "Let's go. I'm hungry." She took his hand and walked away towards home.Jack's eyes stole one last glance at the large advertisement before he followed after her.When they reached the rental house, Serenity went to the security booth to pick up a delivery. It was a sweater she bought.She opened the packaging, took out the sweater and touched it to inspect the texture. It was okay; worth the price at least."Jack, try this sweater on and see if it fits," she said.It was a blue and green checkered sweater. After Jackson put it on, Serenity's eyes brightened. Wow, he looked good in it.She su

He stared at her. "Do you think I earn too little money?""Ah, no!" She denied it. "I just wish you could have a better life." Maybe she wouldn't amount to much, but she wished for a better life for him."I will have a better life. And when the time comes, I can give you whatever kind of life you want, too," he looked at her seriously and said.Obviously, this was just a game to him, but now, he really wanted to give her a different kind of life. It would be something that he could easily do.Serenity smiled. She did not believe that Jack could give her the kind of life she wanted. However, she did not want to hurt his self-esteem, so she simply said, "Nice. Then I'll wait for you to get rich and just be a leech and live off you.”"Okay," he replied as a glint flashed across his deep, dark eyes. If she wanted, he could support her for the rest of her life.The next day, when Connor Gunn went to the pantry, he heard some co-workers chatting with each other. "Have you seen the swea

"I believe there are 99 of them," answered Connor. He recalled a news interview in which Zeke Shaw said that there were a total of 99 ads to represent 99 lifetimes of love.This was something often repeated by Jenny Hall's fans. Jenny Hall was a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry with lots of fans."Take them all down," said Jackson."All of them?" Connor was shocked."All of them," Jackson confirmed."Okay, I'm on it," answered Connor. Mr. Valor wanted to take down the Shaw family's advertisements? Did the Shaw family or the Hall family offend Mr. Valor? Or did Mr. Valor disapprove of the marriage between the two families? But didn't he accept their invitation to the engagement party?Connor was puzzled. Suddenly, with a jolt, a certain possibility occurred to him.Maybe Mr. Valor wanted to take down the advertisements because of... Serenity Lewis? Connor was surprised by his own thought.Would Mr. Valor actually do something like this for a woman? He would offend

"Who are you calling your brother-in-law?" A voice abruptly sounded. A voluptuous woman in a brown coat and fashionable clothes walked over. When she saw Aria, she scoffed, "My, my, look who it is. It's the murderer's sister."Aria's face instantly stiffened. She recognized the woman. It was Jenny Hall, Zeke Shaw's current fiancée.Jenny stepped forward and stared at Aria in contempt. "I remember you. You're a small-time actress, aren't you? Did you come to beg Zeke to give you a leading role? Is that why you keep calling him your brother-in-law? You seriously have no shame.”Aria felt humiliated. There were other people in the corridor, and they were staring at them as if they're watching a show.Aria could only curse Serenity silently. If Serenity had not murdered someone, Aria would have become a popular star by now. She would not have to go through all this.Aria had completely forgotten that the reason she was able to get some good roles in the past was all thanks to Serenity

Jenny also frowned. She turned to Zeke. After all, the advertisement was placed by the Shaw family.Zeke said, "I'll go find out what the situation is..."Before he could even finish speaking, his phone rang. Zeke picked up the call and his expression instantly turned ugly. "What? Taken down? All of them? That's a breach of contract!""They said they'll take down the advertisement even if they have to pay the full penalty,” the manager in charge of this matter said anxiously on the phone. "We immediately contacted other companies but none of them are willing to do this advertisement."In other words, besides the companies owned by the Halls and the Shaws, no other building would provide a surface for the advertisement."Who the hell is trying to mess with the Shaws?" Zeke asked angrily."It's the Valors," the manager replied. "This matter was personally overseen by Connor Gunn, the Shaw Group's secretary."Zeke was shocked. Connor Gunn... That's Jackson Valor's personal secretar

His body stiffened slightly, but he didn't resist. He leaned his head on her shoulder and let her scent envelope him.The scent that carried a faint fragrance made him feel safe for some reason.He felt like he could completely relax when he was around her."You told me you'll never abandon me, right? Me too. I'll never abandon you too. No matter what happens in the future, I'll always stay by your side."Her voice slowly reached his ears."Really? You'll stay by my side no matter what happens?" he asked softly."Of course," she replied, as if it was the most natural thing in the world."You promise you won't be scared of me?" he asked.Serenity laughed softly. "Why would I be scared of you? Our Jack is such a good boy.”Our Jack... The way she said that made it sound like he was hers, but he did not dislike it. In fact, he actually... kinda liked it.He lifted his head, and suddenly, their faces were really close to each other; the tips of their noses were even touching.Sh

Serenity did not expect to see Jenny again so soon.Jenny was still the same as she was the first time Serenity saw her – gorgeous look, impeccable makeup, and fashionable clothes. She was a star in the entertainment industry and a famous socialite in the city.Even when Jenny visited Serenity in jail to pluck out Serenity's nails, she was still dressed in expensive, branded clothes. She looked completely out of place in the gloomy prison.She was almost glowing.But it was exactly this famous star that gave the cruel order to pluck out Serenity's nails in a sinister voice!It also became Serenity's lingering nightmare!Kristin Fender had also come with Jenny. When she saw Serenity, she immediately mocked her. "Look who it is, Jenny. It's your sister's murderer! She's actually working as a sanitation worker now! This must be karma."Serenity's face paled but she did not say anything. She merely lowered her head and continued to sweep."You have such thick skin. If I were to ki

Serenity found it laughable. "You should tell that to my sister, not me. Excuse me, I have to get back to work.”Kristin yelled angrily, "It's your fault the 3D projection ads for Jenny's marriage were taken down! Because you hit and killed Jackson Valor's fiancee, he's holding the Shaw family responsible. Meanwhile, here you are, cleaning the streets without a care in the world."Serenity was surprised. She did not expect it to be the work of Jackson Valor.Jackson Valor... It was thanks to him that she was able to escape from William Sanders that time.That man was the "god" of Solaria. He controlled the great Valor Group. No one dared to offend him. His words were like imperial edicts in this city.Her relationship with Jackson Valor was indeed a bit complicated.The reason Zeke Shaw was so eager to break up with her three years ago and the reason no lawyer in Solaria dared to take her case was exactly because of Jackson Valor.The reason the prison guards did not care when 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
