Chapter 3044

Author: Anastasia Marie
Fortunately, the maid didn't ask any questions. She led Snow to Eden's room as she was instructed. Eden was peacefully laying in a crib under the supervision of a nanny.

"You may take a break. I'd like to spend time with Eden alone. If I need any help, I'll call for you," Snow told the nanny.

"Yes, Mrs. Valor," replied the nanny before leaving the room.

Now alone with Eden, Snow retrieved a small vial of medicine from her pocket along with a cloth. She meticulously sprinkled the medicine onto the cloth, ensuring an even distribution, and then covered the baby's mouth and nose with it.

The baby appeared uncomfortable. Although her eyes remained shut, her mouth opened, emitting a few whimpering sounds before falling silent.

Snow carefully released her grip on the cloth.

The cloth had been soaked with a potent anesthetic. This was to ensure that the baby would not make any noise when she was brought out of the mansion.

Snow quickly unfolded a concealed backpack and gently placed t

    When Weston entered the mansion, a disconcerting thought crossed his mind. He had noticed a hint of panic on "Serenity's" face when she spotted his car earlier. Panic?Why would she panic? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Hastily, he dialed Jackson's number.Before he could say anything, he heard a woman's voice on the other end ask, "Jack, who's calling?"Is that... Serenity?! Though the voice sounded distant and slightly muffled through the phone, only Serenity would call Jackson "Jack"!If Serenity was currently with Jackson, then who was the "Serenity" he ran into outside?!With this unsettling thought in mind, Weston asked urgently, "Jackson, was Serenity with you the whole time? Did she come back to the Stanton Residence earlier?"There was a momentary pause before Jackson replied, "She was with me the entire time and never left. What's wrong?""Just now, a woman claiming to be Serenity came to the Stanton Residence and left almost immediately wit

    Could the person who took Eden from the Stanton Residence be... Snow?!She turned towards Lucas, only to find his brow furrowed and a hint of suspicion in his eyes. Clearly, Lucas had also made the same guess."Does the Stanton Residence have surveillance cameras? Retrieve the footage of that woman for me, please," Lucas said to Jackson as they disembarked from the boat.Jackson raised an eyebrow. "Have you figured something out?""I want to confirm if it's someone I know!" Lucas replied with a fierce glint in his eyes.If it was indeed Snow, he would definitely make her pay!Jackson called Weston and soon received the video footage of the woman in question. Lucas and Coco watched the footage together. They immediately recognized the woman – it was indeed Snow!"It really is her!" Lucas gritted his teeth."Who is she?" Jackson asked."A woman I saved overseas. She came to Solaria not long ago, but I told her to go back abroad. I never expected her to stoop this low!" Lucas

    Eden was taken away when she’s still so small, and... she's a premature baby! Her body was weaker than full-term babies, and Serenity had no idea what the person who took Eden wanted! The thought of her fragile, premature baby being taken away by Snow in a large backpack filled Serenity with anxiety. There was no sound of her daughter crying, which only heightened her unease. She feared that something had happened to her little one.Jackson and Weston utilized their connections and resources to search for Snow throughout the city. Lucas did the same.The weight of his remorse far outweighed Weston's because Snow was a person he had saved.By evening, the police uncovered new leads. Someone had collaborated with Snow in the kidnapping, and it was discovered that she had rented a house nearby to monitor the Stanton Residence. When Lucas saw the photo of the person who had rented the house with Snow, he was shocked. It was Aubrey! The person conspiring with Snow was none other th

    Coco took a deep breath and approached Lucas, pulling back his hand. "What are you doing?!" she asked.His knuckles were red from hitting the wall. "It's my fault Eden was kidnapped! It's all my fault" Lucas mumbled, his eyes filled with pain."No, you mustn't think that way. They're the culprits, not you," Coco anxiously replied."How can I not blame myself? If it weren't for my love for Serenity, they wouldn’t have targeted Serenity's baby. Serenity and Eden are suffering because I didn't handle things properly with them. It's all my fault!" Lucas' voice was hoarse.Coco's heart was pierced with pain. The one he loved was still Serenity. She knew that, and so did Aubrey and Snow.Therefore, Aubrey and Snow kidnapped Serenity's daughter to get revenge on Lucas. Coco had been ignoring the fact that Lucas loved Serenity. And now, this incident was mocking her negligence.However, compared to her pain, Lucas, Serenity, and Jackson must be in even greater pain right now – espe

    "That's right, Eden will be alright. She'll definitely be alright," he whispered softly, trying to reassure himself with those words.-That evening, Harry Scott rushed over to the Stanton Residence after receiving a call from his son. The Scott family had a lot of connections in the local area, making their assistance in the search invaluable. Serenity and the others had helped Summer before, so Harry felt compelled to help them, whether as a gesture of gratitude or to ease his own conscience.Unfortunately, both Aubrey and Snow seemed to have vanished without a trace. Aubrey had already sent her parents out of the country, leaving them with no leads to follow. Two women and a baby could easily hide in a city. As time passed, everyone grew more anxious. The longer it took, the more dangerous it was for the hostage. There was an increasing concern that something might happen to Eden.Days went by with restless nights for everyone, particularly Serenity. She could barely

    The phone was on speaker mode, allowing everyone in the living room to hear the conversation."Once the money is deposited into the account tomorrow, I’ll tell you where the baby is. However, you must come alone to retrieve the baby. No one else is allowed to come with you," Aubrey's voice echoed ominously from the phone."No problem," Coco replied, "I can go alone. But first, I must make sure that Eden is safe, or the money will not be transferred to your account. I request a video call right now so I can see her.""You can believe whatever you want. If we don't receive the money tomorrow, the baby won't survive!" Aubrey maliciously declared.Jackson stepped forward and addressed Aubrey, "If all you want is money, then let me confirm my daughter's safety. Money is not a problem. I only care about her safety. If my daughter is harmed in any way, I will find you, wherever you are, and I will make you suffer. I will find you even if you flee overseas!"Jackson's threat made Aubrey f

    "I know." Coco gently patted on Serenity's shoulders. "You don't have to say anything. I'm sure you'd help me if I was in the same place."Serenity burst into tears and hugged Coco.Coco hugged Serenity back, comforting her gently, "Serenity, it'll be fine. I'll bring Eden back safely tomorrow.""You have to come back safe. I can't let anything happen to you too...""I'll come back safe too. We'll all be safe!" Coco soothed, wishing this storm would be gone quickly.All Coco needed to do was bring Eden back safely. Serenity would be happy, and Lucas would no longer be tormented by guilt and pain. Everything would be fine again!Jackson looked at his crying wife and thought Serenity had a good eye for making friends. He was impressed by Coco, who was busy comforting Serenity. Many would be desperate to earn a favor from the Valor family, but Coco turned it down without even thinking.Lucas, on the other hand, looked extremely worried. Coco had to pick up Eden tomorrow, so she w

    Lucas stared at Coco as he listened to her even breathing as she slept. Then, he turned off the light and left the room.When Lucas returned to the main hall, Jackson and Serenity were already discussing with the police about the operation tomorrow. They needed to come up with a plan to protect Coco secretly.Lucas joined in the discussion immediately. All for tomorrow!The next day, Aubrey contacted them with a video call. This time, Eden finally appeared. Although the baby could not speak, she could react and move. Therefore, the video conversation was real. It was clear that Aubrey kept her location in the video a secret. The background was covered with white cloth, so no one could determine where the video call was made! Not only that, the video conversation only lasted for 30 seconds, which was very short.Fortunately, everyone could be sure that Eden was safe and sound. Thus, they had less to worry about her safety!The funds were all ready. Aubrey would tell Coco the loca

    “……” 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
