It was well known that the Gomez Group owned the largest Studio City in Solaria. More than 70% of the entertainment industry’s film and television works were shot here. Banning these actors from Studio City was like killing their careers."It’s too much to do that!" "You don’t have the right to do that!" The actors who had joined Jane in the strike became anxious. They had participated in the strike to curry favor with Jane, believing the rumors about her strong connections. They thought that they might get some big roles by getting on her good side, but things had taken an unexpected turn."Why not? The Studio City belongs to the Gomez family," Macy's words silenced them.Then, she ignored them and instructed her men to carry Coco and take her to the hospital.Minnie was shocked. She thought that Coco was in deep trouble, but someone had come to rescue Coco. A whole group was here for her!She wondered why Macy had rescued Coco. Minnie’s mind was flooded with questions.After the
There was a police station near Studio City, and the police arrived very quickly. They brought Jane and the extras who had assaulted Coco back to the station.According to the extras, Jane was the mastermind behind this.Jane no longer looked elegant. She struggled like a mad woman and even tried to hit the police. "Do you know who I am?! How dare you touch me? You guys will be fired soon!" The police ignored her threats and forcibly subdued her, putting her in the patrol car.Once they were taken away, the film set was peaceful again. Ash and Stella exchanged knowing glances. They decided to take a break and figure out what to do next since they couldn't continue filming now. Loke felt complicated. He had only realized that the extras were assaulting Coco when Macy rescued her. Years ago, he had witnessed a similar scene and chosen to look away and escape.He was doing the same thing now. He had done nothing while Coco was being hurt. Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind. Co
Layla watched as Loke left in a hurry, and her expression darkened. She wondered if he was worried about Coco. She was mad that Coco was saved by the executive assistant of the Gomez Group’s CEO today. She couldn’t comprehend why the executive assistant of a major corporation cared about actors going on strike for a TV series. Many in the film crew were puzzled by this issue too except for Rowan, who seemed to understand something. He smiled knowingly. The company had insisted he join this adaptation because of Coco. "Rowan, why are you smiling?" Rowan’s assistant asked. "Some people overestimate themselves, and they’ll get nothing in the end," Rowan said. The assistant couldn’t get what Rowan meant. "Respect Coco from now on. Don’t get on her bad side," Rowan ordered. -While Loke was driving to Solaria Medical Center, his mind kept replaying what had happened to Coco just now. He was filled with both regret and relief.He regretted not helping Coco once again. He had thou
It now made sense to Loke why Macy had come to the film set today and saved Coco. Still, Loke wondered how Coco had ended up dating Lucas. They were from completely different worlds!Moreover, there wasn’t any affection for Coco in Lucas's gaze. Why would he be together with her?Loke was getting more curious about their relationship, and he continued reading Lucas’s information. He frowned when he was done reading. ‘As expected, Lucas doesn’t love Coco at all!’ After putting his phone away, he sped toward Solaria Medical Center.Coco had been taken to the emergency room. Fortunately, she only had some superficial wounds. There were no broken bones or concussions, but she still needed to be kept under observation for a day, and the doctor prescribed some medication for her. Macy instructed her men to get the medicine and handle Coco's admission procedures.Minnie was heartbroken when she arrived at the hospital and saw the bruises on Coco’s face. "Does it hurt?" Minnie asked and
“I’m here to visit Coco.” “She doesn’t need you here. Coco needs to rest now. Please leave!” Minnie tried to push Loke away, but she wasn’t strong enough. “Coco, I didn’t know that they were beating you up for real. I had no idea that you were in pain!” Loke said guiltily. "You don't have to apologize to me," Coco responded coldly. “You’re not responsible for my safety from the beginning” "But I—"“No buts…” Minnie cut him off. "Coco doesn't need your concern. She has her boyfriend to care for her. If you don't leave now, I’ll call the hospital security.” Loke retorted, “Boyfriend? Are you sure that he is Coco’s boyfriend?” He pushed Minnie aside and got near Coco's bedside. “Coco, do you know the identity of your boyfriend? How well do you understand him? You say you love him very much and you guys have a great relationship. But do you know that he is deeply in love with another woman? He could sacrifice his life for that woman. Rumor has it that he vowed to stay single for the
Loke wondered why Lucas would get involved with Coco. There were plenty of women in the entertainment industry eager to get close to him if he wanted to date around. The information stated that Lucas wasn’t the type to toy with women.Minnie’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Lucas. It was hard to see him in person, yet he was here, standing right in front of her. Minnie would have screamed in excitement if they weren’t in the hospital now. Coco watched as Lucas walked toward her. "Sorry, my men were late," Lucas said as he looked at the bruises on her face. His expression darkened when he thought of Macy’s report. Coco slightly shook her head. So, it was he who had sent Macy to save her. Lucas looked at Loke and removed his hand from Coco’s shoulder. "Mr. Clark, Coco is my girlfriend. I hope you’ll be more mindful of your actions in the future.""What do you want with Coco?!" Loke demanded. Even though he knew he shouldn’t provoke this man, he couldn’t help but ask.Lucas g
Loke couldn’t figure out what Lucas wanted from Coco. She was just an average girl. Still, Lucas had left the decision to break up to Coco, which meant that Lucas had genuine feelings for Coco. It wouldn’t be hard for Coco to fall in love with a man like Lucas. Loke smiled bitterly and wondered if he had lost Coco completely. The woman who used to blush hard at his slightest touch wouldn’t love him anymore. Meanwhile, in the ward, Minnie was still staring at Lucas. “Are you really Prince Lucas?” Minnie asked with a trembling voice. “Prince? It's just a nickname others gave me. You don't need to call me that.” Lucas smiled. “Thank you for sending someone to save Coco today, Mr. Gomez. If not, she could have been killed.” Minnie was still shaken by the incident. “Jane is a vicious woman! She’ll probably get bailed out quickly even though she was apprehended.” “No, she won’t,” Lucas said calmly.“Is that so? Jane has connections. It should be easy for her to get bailed,” Minnie s
The simple sentence filled Coco's heart with warmth. The feeling of being protected like this was truly wonderful, even though she knew she was only his girlfriend in name."Thank you," her voice choked slightly."There's no need to thank me. Like I said, you're my girlfriend," he said.She took a deep breath, looked directly into his eyes, and said seriously, "But are you sure you want me as your girlfriend? I... I didn't know who you were before, but I do now. You're actually the crown prince of the entertainment industry. Surely people will feel suspicious if you have a girlfriend like me. I'm worried I might mess up your plan.""Who I choose as my girlfriend is my business. Who cares what other people think? All you have to do is act like you love me in public," Lucas said. "Of course, if you're having second thoughts, or if there's someone you like, you can tell me."Coco quickly shook her head, "No, there's no one I like!""Not even Loke Clark?" Lucas asked. "I know you guy
“……” 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
