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

"But what if my love is too deep for me to take back..." he murmured, his long eyelashes gently lowering, partially covering his deep and profound eyes.Coco wondered what was on his mind. Was he thinking about that woman he used to love very deeply?Loke said that Lucas would no longer date anyone because of the woman he loved. He even risked his life to save her, and... would never get married because of her!How deep was his love for that woman? Even the purpose of this relationship of theirs... was probably for that woman."What's wrong?" he suddenly asked.Coco realized with a jolt that she had been staring at him in a daze. When he looked up, he had caught her staring."N-Nothing, I was just thinking that, after what you said to Loke, he probably won't bother me anymore." After a pause, and hurriedly said, as if she had thought of something, "I... I know that you weren't serious. I know that you don't really love me, so don't worry... I'm not gonna misunderstand. After we b

Therefore, even when the lawyer tried to pull some strings, he failed. Jane looked confused. She... She didn't remember doing anything to offend the Gomez family. Even if she did incite other actors to boycott the filming, it was just an internal matter within the crew. There was no conflict of interest with the Gomez family.What in the world was going on? So many weird things happened today. First, that personal assistant called Macy Yates saved Coco at the set and immediately called the cops to arrest her, and now, it seemed like the Gomez family was targeting her!Jane had so many questions. She directed all her resentment at Coco. If it weren't for that woman, she would not have ended up like this! She would make Coco Souza pay!Coco didn't expect to fall asleep right after closing her eyes!And she had slept so... peacefully!She remembered it was around 3 PM when she entered the hospital room. Now, it was completely dark outside. How long was she asleep for?"You'

"Who did you just call?" she asked curiously."A restaurant owned by the Gomez family, the kind that operates 24 hours," he replied.Sure enough, 20 minutes later, the porridge was delivered to the hospital room, along with several side dishes."Do you want some?" Coco asked."I'm not hungry, you go ahead," Lucas said.Coco didn't hesitate since she was really hungry. She found the porridge with side dishes exceptionally delicious at this early hour of 4 AM.Lucas watched Coco eat. The simple food of porridge and side dishes seemed to make her so happy."Are you always so easily satisfied?" he asked softly, "You're savoring the simple porridge like it's a gourmet meal.""When you're hungry, everything tastes exceptionally good," Coco answered."What about life then? Are you satisfied with your life right now?" he asked."I'm content," she smiled, "I'm doing something that I love for a living, I earn enough money to support myself and I can even save some money for retirement.

Coco was discharged from the hospital the next day. After that, she stayed at home to recuperate. After all, she couldn't go out and meet people with all that bruises on her face! Minnie would occasionally come over to her place to tell her about the latest updates from the set.The actors who participated in the boycott couldn't enter Studio City anymore, which was to be expected. The Gomez family sent the actors' information to the security guards at the entrance of Studio City so the guards could stop them from entering.Although the incident that day was not reported in the news, the drama’s production was still greatly affected. Currently, the production team was discussing whether to change the shooting location or to replace the actors.This discussion had been going on for a few days without reaching a conclusion. However, according to Minnie, it should be resolved within the next day or two. After all, every day they did not film meant another day of financial loss. The a

The production team ultimately decided to replace all the actors who went on strike. Because Rowan Palmer was the male lead, the TV series received a lot of media attention.The production company managed to keep the news of Jane Harris and the other actors getting arrested temporarily under wraps, but when they replaced the actors, the media naturally caught wind of it since a total of 17 actors were replaced, some of them having important roles in the series.But just as the media learned about the large-scale cast changes and before they could uncover the reason, news came that the director would also be replaced. The replacement director was a heavyweight in the television industry and had directed many hit TV shows.This caused a huge stir in the media, and they desperately crowded around the production set to gather the latest information.As for Coco, her life was relatively peaceful compared to the besieged crew members. The bruises on her face and body had mostly faded

The people inside the private club were clearly familiar with Lucas. When they saw him, they all greeted him respectfully. One of the managers led them to a private room in the club.When the door was pushed open, Coco saw to her surprise that the private room was much larger than she had anticipated. At a glance, it seemed to have an area of over 200 square meters. Inside, there was a karaoke area, a pool table, card tables, and more.The men and women inside all wore fashionable and luxurious attire. Compared to them, Coco felt somewhat out of place. She was embarrassed, feeling like an ugly duckling among a group of swans.As soon as Lucas and Coco entered, someone whistled and jokingly said, "Wow, look at that! After all these years, you finally brought a partner to our gathering!"It had been over 7 years since Lucas had a girlfriend. You wouldn't believe that he used to be a playboy who always had a girlfriend by his side.However, the people present all knew that the w
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2696
As soon as Aubrey said that, the atmosphere in the room became weird. The previously lively crowd fell silent and turned their gaze towards Coco. Coco didn't know what to do. She didn't expect someone to ask her that during the gathering. She could clearly sense that Aubrey did not like her.She didn't want to embarrass Lucas. She was his girlfriend, even though it was only in name. After taking a deep breath, Coco met Aubrey's gaze and said, "Yes, that news is about me. I am the comic artist. However, the things mentioned in the news are not true.""So you're saying that the person who leaked the information was spreading rumors? Then why don't you enlighten us about which parts are untrue so that we won't be misled?" Aubrey said with a faint smile, waiting for Coco to fall into the trap and embarrass herself further."If even such messy gossip can mislead you, then I really have to reconsider the collaboration between the Stewart Group and the Gomez family," Lucas suddenly sai

“……” 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
