Serenity blushed involuntarily. She tried to look away.But he stopped her by holding her jaw. "You were staring at me intently. Is it because I'm good-looking?"She was at a loss for words. What was she supposed to say? That he's good-looking? That he's not good-looking?Neither answer sounded right! Serenity felt her face become hotter. She wanted to avoid his eyes, but it was impossible.The maid who was standing nearby tactfully lowered her head. Although she was not looking at them, she could hear their conversation, and that was enough to shock her.Mr. Valor really was treating Miss Lewis differently from how he treated other women. Could the rumors be true? Would Miss Lewis really become the mistress of the Valor family?But... wasn't she a sanitation worker?Would Mr. Valor really... marry a woman like her?That night, Serenity lay in bed, unable to sleep. Through the moonlight that slipped through the window, she inspected her bandaged fingers. Jackson had been chang

"My hands have healed. Can I go back to the rental house?" She changed the subject.His fingers, which were caressing her fingertips, stopped. "Why are you so eager to go back?""I'm fine now. There's no reason for me to stay here anymore," she said and bit her lip."You really want to leave?" His expression went cold."Yeah." She nodded."Do you dislike living with me that much?" Even his voice had gone cold."I'm used to being alone," she replied.He scoffed. "Used to being alone? If that's true, then you wouldn't have brought me back to the rental house. You were the one who said that you're lonely, so wanted some company. You also said that you wanted to be with me so that we could rely on each other. Have you forgotten that already?"Her eyelashes shook slightly. Of course she had not forgotten. However, all that seemed like a joke now.She stayed silent while he kept staring at her. The air was filled with that oppressive feeling once more.He suddenly broke the silence

The night air in the large room felt so cold that it made her shiver!As soon as Aria reached home, she heard the news that her mother had been fired from her job and her father had been demoted from a supervisor to ordinary staff!"How did this happen?!" Aria was surprised because both her parents were civil servants. In those jobs, as long as you didn't make any mistakes, you usually wouldn't even be demoted, let alone get fired.Moreover, she was Lucas Gomez's girlfriend! Even if her parents' bosses had to fire or demote them, they would think twice before doing so!"Did you tell your bosses that I'm Lucas Gomez's girlfriend?" asked Aria."We did! Of course we did!" Catherine was furious. She told her boss that her daughter was the prince of the entertainment industry’s girlfriend and would marry into the Gomez family one day.But her boss did not want to hear it. He said, "I don't care who your daughter's boyfriend is. You're dismissed. It's non-negotiable!"She was so angr

Grayson seemed alarmed. He said angrily, "That good-for-nothing daughter! She dragged our family down when she went to jail, and now she wants to harm our family again!"He spent a lot of money and curried many favors to rise to the supervisor position!And now, he had been demoted to an ordinary employee. Of course he could not accept it!Catherine was furious too. She looked as if she wanted to look for Serenity and tear her to pieces."Mom, Dad, calm down. Serenity has Jackson Valor’s support now. We can't do anything reckless," persuaded Aria. She had learned that lesson the hard way!Grayson and Catherine agreed. Catherine asked, "Then what should we do? Are we just gonna do nothing?""I'll think of something," said Aria. She had to think about how to deal with Serenity carefully. She could not let Serenity become more and more important to Lucas.Otherwise, even if Jackson cast Serenity aside one day, Serenity could just take Aria's place as Lucas' girlfriend!Aria absolu

Did she become like this because her harsh life had taught her the importance of money?Seeing Serenity's gloomy expression, Lisa suddenly hugged her. "Serenity, all these years, I've always felt bad that I couldn't do anything to help you. Even though I know that you're innocent, I couldn't help you find any evidence to overturn the case."She had kept these words buried in her heart for a long time."When you were in prison, I couldn't do anything for you except to say some things to comfort you when I visited. I really hate that feeling. Now that we have a clue, I'll definitely help you uncover the truth. You don't have to feel like you owe me anything."Lisa's voice was racked with guilt."Lisa, if you hadn't visited me in prison from time to time and worked relentlessly to prove my innocence, I don't think I could have made it through prison. So don't think your words of comfort were insignificant. Those words gave me the courage to keep living," Serenity hugged her best frie

She could only remember the first three letters and the last number of the car’s license plate.Serenity felt cold all over. What the hell was going on? Who were the people in the car? Why did they take Lisa away?Lisa...Was it an abduction? Or was it... Serenity took out her cell phone. She wanted to call Lisa, but she was afraid that she might put Lisa in danger.Her hand started to tremble. The trembling got so bad that she could barely hold her phone.She struggled to call the police, but eventually managed to do so.After calling the police, she ran to the parking lot management office. There were surveillance monitors there. They must have surveillance footage of Lisa getting abducted.Lisa... please be safe! Please!That was the only thing Serenity could think of.When Jackson received Serenity's call, he could hear sobbing on the other end.That instantly alarmed him. "What's wrong? Say something!""Jack, can you help me find Lisa? I beg you, please help me find Li
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 294
She shivered and raised her head stiffly. Her wet eyes slowly gained focus."Jack, help me find Lisa." She seemed to have come back to her senses. She said in a hurry, "The police said they'll send people to look for her, but who knows when they'll find her! I wish I memorized the license plate. Why didn't I memorize the license plate?"Her voice was heavy with guilt.Jackson had only seen Serenity this anxious once before – when her grandmother fell ill.But her grandmother was her family, and Lisa was not. And yet, Serenity cared so much about Lisa.He suddenly felt jealous of Lisa. If something happened to him, would Serenity be this anxious for him too?"Let's go back first. It's cold outside," he said, "Your hands are freezing."It's cold? She didn't even realize that it was cold. Lisa was the only thing in her mind."Then... will you help me find Lisa?" she asked, wanting a definite answer from him. The police could only wait, but... if he was willing to help, surely she

His chest felt tight.Since when had he ever felt bad about making a woman worried and scared? She seemed to be the only one who could make him feel this way.Jackson sighed. He sighed because he had no choice but to compromise. He took out his phone and made a call. "Help me find someone. I need to know where this person is and whether she’s safe... Her name is Lisa Quest. She was taken away in a car this afternoon. The car is..."Jackson handed the phone to Serenity and gestured at her to speak.Serenity immediately understood. She quickly said, "It's a black Maybach. The license plate is..."She told the person the part of the license plate she could remember, the address of the parking lot, and other details like what time the incident occurred.When Serenity was done, Jackson told the person in the phone, "That's all. I want to know Lisa Quest's whereabouts as soon as possible!"After ending the call, Jackson looked at Serenity and said, "Okay, can we go back now?"She fol

“……” 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
