"Should be," Clara said. "I’ve heard Serenity talk about that boy's mother before. She's been using her son's relationship with Jackie for personal gain."

Coco frowned. With the Valor family's status in Solaria, if someone were to exploit their connection with the Valor family for personal gain, they could certainly benefit greatly. However, going too far would surely lead to trouble.

"Serenity said Morris is a good kid – polite and humble, and never steps out of bounds," Coco said.

"It’s a pity his parents aren’t great people, especially his mother. Serenity mentioned she has a gambling addiction," Clara added.

"If Serenity has to go back to handle it herself, the problem must be serious," Summer said.

On the way home, Serenity gathered more information about the situation.

In short, Marissa Yale had been using her connection with the Valor family to borrow money for gambling. She kept borrowing without paying back. Some people lent her money in hopes that she could facilitate

    "$1.2 million – these are the IOUs!" The creditors displayed the notes, all bearing Marissa's signatures and fingerprints.Serenity's expression darkened. For an ordinary person, $1.2 million was no small sum. She did not expect Marissa to accumulate this much gambling debt.Marissa tried to defend herself. "I... I just wanted to earn more money to give Morris a better life. I didn't expect to lose so much! Mrs. Valor, you have to help me. If you help me pay these debts, I... I promise I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you."Serenity understood her intentions all too well. She fixed Marissa with a cold stare, her icy gaze making Marissa shiver."$1.2 million – why should I help you?" Serenity replied frostily."But... but just now... you said...""Just now, I told Morris I would help you, but I didn't say I’d cover your debts. I can prevent them from using violence, but I won't stop them from suing you. The judge will decide whether to send you to jail or not," Serenity

    "And they agreed?" Jackson asked."What else could they do? I made it clear I wouldn’t help Marissa pay the debts, so they had no choice but to accept for now," Serenity replied.Jackson chuckled softly. "I thought you might actually help her pay."After all, $1.2 million was not that big of a deal for them. Jackie and Morris got along well, so he thought Serenity might feel pity for Morris and give in."I'll never help anyone pay their gambling debt. Helping her this time would only encourage her to gamble again. This will teach her a lesson, making it less likely for her to repeat the mistake. Plus, what I said to her creditors will spread, letting everyone know that the Valor family is not her backer. She won't be able to borrow money anymore," Serenity explained.She hoped Marissa would quit gambling before the Yale family was ruined."Do you think she’ll understand your good intentions? She probably resents you right now," Jackson reminded her."It doesn’t matter. I’m more

    However, Serenity believed girls should know some fighting techniques for self defense.Taking this opportunity, she persuaded her husband to let their daughter learn self-defense.After hearing what she had to say, Jacqueline lowered her head for a moment, contemplating, and then nodded. "Okay, but in two months, I want to go back to learning piano with Morris.""Alright," Serenity smiled."I’ll tell Morris," Jacqueline said."Mommy will talk to him," Serenity replied. Kids may not be able to keep a secret very well, especially considering Morris must be in a state of shock after what just happened.Serenity wanted to shield Jacqueline from the fact that Marissa was using her relationship with Morris for personal gain.She didn’t want Jacqueline to overthink her friendship with Morris. Children should remain carefree."But I want to see Morris," Jacqueline insisted."How about this? You learn some self-defense techniques first. After you’ve learned them, you can show them to

    Turning to her daughter, she said, "Mommy needs to go to the office for a bit. The driver will take you home. Make sure to finish your homework, okay?""Okay," Jacqueline replied. She was used to her Mommy's unpredictable work schedule.After giving the driver some instructions, Serenity headed to the law firm.On the way back to the Valor Residence, Jacqueline suddenly told the driver, "Uncle Paul, can we stop by Morris’ house? I want to give him a music score."It was a piece she had just learned, and she was eager to show Morris."Um..." the driver hesitated because Serenity had instructed him to take Miss Jacqueline straight home."It’ll only take a moment. I’ll just give him the score and chat for a bit," she insisted. She really missed Morris because she hadn’t seen Morris for several days.After some hesitation, the driver agreed.After all, Jacqueline was also his employer! He did not want to get on Jacqueline's bad side. A smile brightened Jacqueline's face.Soon, t

    Morris quickly emerged from the house. Upon seeing Jacqueline, his eyes brightened.Jacqueline thought she would be happy to see him, but now that she did, she couldn’t feel any joy at all."I want to talk to Morris outside for a bit, is that okay?" Jacqueline asked Marissa."Oh, why outside? Why not come in?" Marissa warmly suggested.But Jacqueline insisted, "Outside is fine."Marissa opened her mouth to argue but faltered when she met Jacqueline's gaze. Jacqueline was just a child, yet her eyes made Marissa feel an inexplicable sense of fear."Well... okay, you can talk outside," she relented."I want to speak with Morris alone," Jacqueline added.Though reluctant, Marissa couldn’t say no. The driver who came with Jacqueline stepped forward and said, "Please go back in."Marissa had no choice but to go back into the house. The driver stood at the door. Jacqueline turned to Morris and asked, "Did you befriend me just to gain something from me?""Huh?" Morris was taken aback

    "Jackie..." Morris pleaded, his voice filled with embarrassment and guilt, "I... Can I still learn the piano with you? Even if you don’t want to be friends anymore, I still want to learn the piano with you. I’ll learn lots of pieces – whatever you want to hear, I promise I'll play it for you."His voice trembled with emotion.Jacqueline hesitated, but the things she heard earlier echoed in her mind. She tried to pull her hand free of his grip. "There's no need. I don’t want to hear you play the piano anymore. Morris, I don’t like being used, and I don’t want my family to be used either. I used to love your playing, but not anymore."With that, she got into the car with the driver, leaving him behind.The black vehicle slowly drove away, fading from Morris' view.He stood there, staring blankly at the departing car, his fragile body trembling with overwhelming fear.Does Jackie... hate him now?Would he never play the piano with her, attend classes together, or even see her anymo

    He approached his daughter's room and lightly knocked on the door. When there was no response, he gently opened the door and stepped inside.As soon as he entered, he heard his daughter sobbing. The sound made Jackson frown, his heart aching for her. Among his children, Jackie took after Serenity the most, and she was also a girl, so she had always been his favorite. Seeing her cry filled him with deep sorrow.He walked over and said softly, "Jackie, why are you crying? Are you sad because the Yale family used you?"Jacqueline stiffened, then looked up at her father. Her tear-filled eyes deepened his heartache, and he began to regret his decisions.If he had known this would happen, he would have lied and said they couldn’t find Morris. She would have been disappointed, but it would have been better than seeing her in such pain."Don't cry. Just tell Daddy what you want. Whatever it is, Daddy will make it happen for you," Jackson promised.Through her sniffles, Jacqueline said,

    "Yes," Jackson said. This would serve as a good lesson for his daughter, albeit a painful one. "You can only speak to the people you trust, not just anyone."Jacqueline listened to her father, and her mind traveled to the look on Morris' face before she had left. Morris had given her a pleading look, pulling her hand. Why had he looked at her like that?Jacqueline loved Morris' music and wanted to be his friend. It would be nice if he hadn’t used her. She felt sad at the thought, and it seemed she would not hear his music again. -The weather got colder at the end of the year.

Her husband was constantly afraid she would get cold, so she had to wear more layers and dress warmly to stop him from worrying.

    “……” 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
