My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 2923
Listening to the bang of the door closing, Coco knew Lucas had left. She collapsed onto the bed, sobbing uncontrollably. Why did it have to be like this? Even though she had broken up with Lucas, why did it still hurt so much? The pain was so intense that even breathing felt excruciating.In the car, Lucas looked at the photos in his hand with Coco’s words echoing in his mind. ‘It isn’t what it looks like. He wasn't hugging or kissing me. The angle of the photo created this illusion.’Yes, the photo was taken from a certain angle. As the prince of the entertainment industry with his family rooted in the film business, he should have thought of this possibility immediately! Yet, he hadn't considered it at all. These few photos had made him lose his mind. If he had remained calm, he would have realized the misunderstandings caused by the angle of the camera. Lucas ruffled his hair in frustration. What was happening to him? He wasn’t his usual self. He neither wanted to love Coco nor

Something suddenly came across Minnie’s mind. “By the way, do you think Lucas has anything to do with the Stone family's downfall?"Coco was slightly taken aback. "I don't know.""Come on, it's quite possible! Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental? That day, Loke exposed how Layla bullied you in the past. When Layla tried to pour wine on you, it was Lucas who stopped her. It must be Lucas standing up for you. Layla deserves this!"Coco bit her lip as she wondered if Lucas was behind the Stone family's downfall. Did he do it for her?"Speaking of which, it seems like Lucas still cares about you..."“It doesn’t matter anymore since we have already broken up,” Coco said. “Alright, alright. I get it. You’re single now. Why don’t we go to a bar tonight and have some fun? Who knows, you might meet the man of your destiny," Minnie suggested.“Sure,” Coco agreed. After all, she wanted to forget about her worries, and going to a bar with Minnie sounded like a good idea.In the ev

Coco called Minnie immediately, but her phone was turned off. Her heart sank as she wondered if Minnie’s phone was dead or if something had happened to her. She had a sense of foreboding. Coco got up and started searching the bar. However, the place was so noisy and crowded with lights constantly shifting from bright to dim that she could hardly see anything.Soon, she finally found the bar manager. "My friend is missing. Can you make an announcement to help me find her?" Coco asked urgently.The manager responded as if he’d heard a great joke. "Miss, your friend is an adult, right? She might have already left. You want us to make an announcement to find her? Do you think this is a mall?""But my friend's phone was suddenly turned off, and she’s nowhere to be found. If she really needed to leave, she would’ve waited a bit or left a note," Coco insisted."Maybe she stood you up on purpose," the manager suggested, looking at Coco with a hint of sympathy."No, my friend wouldn't do that

After Coco gave Lucas the address and the name of the bar, he asked, "And where exactly are you now? Where in the bar?""I... I'm at table 29. Minnie and I were sitting here. The last time I saw her was right here.""Alright, stay where you are. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll be there soon!" Lucas said."Lucas, you... you will search for Minnie, right?" Coco asked while crying. To her, he was her last hope. "I'm... scared that something might have happened to Minnie. What should I do...""I will help you! Don’t worry! Wait for me!" Lucas assured her.After the call ended, Coco stood anxiously in place. She knew that Lucas would be here to help her. As long as he did, they could find Minnie! Even though she was still anxious, she no longer felt as helpless as before.Just then, the manager she had spoken to earlier approached her accompanied by a middle-aged man in a suit."Excuse me, are you Ms. Coco?" The middle-aged man asked respectfully."I am," Coco replied."Hello, I’m the person in ch

After a while, Coco returned to the table, but Minnie was nowhere to be seen. "That woman took Minnie!" Coco exclaimed. The surveillance footage outside the bar showed the woman leading Minnie into a car parked outside, which then drove away. The footage had clearly captured the car's license plate number. Lucas immediately called the city's traffic bureau and requested for surveillance to track the car. Coco waited anxiously. "Don't worry," Lucas reassured her softly. "But that woman purposely drugged Minnie. It was obvious that she had ill intentions. Where could she be taking Minnie? Could it be a kidnapping?" Coco's mind raced with all sorts of possibilities. "If it really is a kidnapping for ransom, I can pay the ransom no matter the amount. Coco, I will definitely help Minnie," Lucas said. Coco looked at him while biting her lip. “Thank you, Lucas.” She had rejected him so harshly and was worried he might refuse to help her when she called. Yet, he had shown up without h

“Yes, they’ll be here shortly,” the person responded.“Guard all the exits and don’t let anyone escape. I need a few people to come with me to search for Minnie,” Lucas ordered.“Yes, sir.”Soon, six men followed Lucas and Coco into the motel.Upon entering, Coco approached the person in charge while showing her the photo of Minnie and the woman who had taken her away.“Please tell me which room this woman took my friend to,” Coco requested urgently.“What? We have so many guests coming and going every day. How can I remember everyone?” The woman’s eyes darted around nervously.Coco grew more anxious. “It was just a short while ago. You should have a registration record. Please check the guest records from the past half hour…”“Alright, give me a moment, I’ll check for you…” However, the woman's movements were slow, clearly stalling for time.“Hurry up!” Coco urged.“Stop rushing me, or I won’t...” Lucas signaled to his men before she could finish speaking. In an instant, one of them

A bodyguard shouted, “Mr. Gomez!”Coco noticed that Lucas and his men had already subdued the man wearing only a towel. The man was still struggling on the ground.“Coco, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Lucas asked, standing up and frowning slightly.“I’m fine, but where’s Minnie?” Minnie was lying unconscious on the bed. Thankfully, Minnie’s clothes were still intact. The man hadn’t had the chance to do anything to her.“Minnie, wake up! Wake up!” Coco shouted. Minnie remained unresponsive and muttered incoherently even though Coco was shaking her violently.“We should take her to the hospital for a check-up. We don’t know what was put in her drink,” Lucas suggested.Coco nodded in agreement.Two of Lucas’s men came over. One helped Minnie up while the other spoke to Lucas, “Mr. Gomez, you were stabbed by a knife. You have to be treated at the hospital before you lose too much blood...”“What? You’re injured?!” Coco exclaimed in shock.It was only then that she noticed how pale Lucas ha

Coco felt a pang in her chest looking at Lucas’s smile. At the hospital, the doctors examined both Lucas and Minnie. They also brought the unfinished drink from the bar for analysis. It was confirmed that Minnie’s drink had been spiked with sedatives. She was still asleep now and would wake up once the effects wore off.Coco felt at ease when she learned that Minnie was fine. As for Lucas, although his wound wasn’t deep and hadn’t hit any vital organs, it still required eleven stitches. The doctor had to administer a local anesthetic and stitch him up in the emergency room.“Coco, wait for me outside. It’ll look gory.” Lucas was worried that she might feel uncomfortable.However, Coco refused. “I’ll stay. You can hold my hand if it hurts.”Lucas was surprised to hear that. After a while, he nodded. “Okay.”And so, Lucas held Coco’s hand while she stood by his side, watching the doctor cut open his shirt and clean the wound, which was still bleeding. The doctor and nurse skillfully di

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
