My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 39
Many of her fans even expressed their disappointment in her and claimed they would not be her fans anymore.Some of Jenny's more loyal fans expressed their disbelief. They wondered if there was a mistake somewhere.Another person who was in disbelief was Jenny herself. The police actually issued an investigation report, and she only found out about it the same time everyone else did!Jenny shivered. How could this happen?Could her public persona and the career she had worked so hard for be destroyed just like that?But the worst was yet to come. Jackson Valor's personal secretary, Connor Gunn, informed the Hall family and the Shaw family that Jackson Valor would not attend their engagement party.The public naturally thought it was related to Jenny's recent negative press.Serenity was a bit surprised when she saw the police investigation report. She did not expect it to come out so quickly. She was also surprised that the Halls and the Shaws did not suppress the news. In fact,

"Dad, you miss Mira too, don't you?" asked Jenny. "When I saw Serenity Lewis that day, she did not look remorseful about Mira's death at all.""Enough. Stop speaking of that woman," said Quinton.The sound of footsteps made them turn around. They saw Jackson Valor walking down the stairs."You want to see me?" Jackson asked indifferently as he eyed the two people in front of him.When Jackson's icy gaze swept past her, Jenny felt her body stiffen. This was the man her sister was madly in love with back in the days!Jenny still remembered her sister Mira once telling her with a dreamy face, "Jenny, I once thought that I'd never be able to make a man like Jackson Valor mine. He's too cold, too rational. Even if you hold him, you can't feel his warmth. He's like a delicate and beautiful porcelain; you can see his surface, but never his inside."Jenny felt the same way about Jackson Valor. Every time she saw him, she felt that she could never tell what’s on his mind.Therefore, even

He paused as his eyes swept across the two dumbfounded people. "If they leave before that, they're not allowed to step foot in this residence ever again."The father and daughter flinched.Jackson's words undoubtedly meant that, if they left without finding the ring, the Valor family would sever all ties with them.After Jackson left, Quinton and Jenny looked at each other.The pond was not that deep, but its bottom was filled with mud. It was not that big either, but it was still about 100 square feet in size. Finding a small ring in that pond was not an easy task.Jenny felt like crying. "Daddy, what should we do? Do I really have to go down there to find the ring? It's so cold out there! How can I find the ring by myself?!""You made this mess, so you must clean it up. You know what will happen to the Hall family if the Valor family sever ties with us!" Quinton said with a serious expression.The future of the Hall family was at stake. He could not indulge his daughter anymor

She gently combed his fringe and trimmed the fringe little by little with a pair of scissors. She looked very focused. All her concentration was on the fringe. She did not even notice the pair of beautiful eyes under the fringe watching her.Jackson stared at her. Her face was slightly red due to the cold weather. He looked at her pretty eyes, her small nose, her pink lips, and her beautiful face. The more he looked at her, the harder he found it to look away. Under the light, her body seemed to emanate a warm aura."Okay, it's done." After a while, he suddenly heard her say."It's done?" he asked. All the time he spent with her seemed to pass by very quickly."Mm-hmm." She smiled and took two steps back to scrutinize him. "It's not bad. My skills are pretty good. We saved a few dollars."She chuckled, then took a dry towel and helped him dust off some of the fine strands of hair that had fallen onto his face, neck and clothes."All right, go take a shower," said Serenity.Jacks

She also could not understand why Mira Hall's car would come crashing towards hers.She also could not understand why all the witnesses said she was in the wrong.She was fighting against the world. All the evidence and witnesses back then pointed to her being the perpetrator.After all, Mira Hall was going to marry Jackson Valor soon. She had no reason to crash her car into Serenity's to kill herself."Are you trying to overturn the case?" Jackson asked.Serenity smiled self-deprecatingly. "I'm just a little unsatisfied, that's all. It's not that easy to overturn a case. Besides, I've already been released from prison. All right, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll help you blow your hair dry.”She put the documents away, grabbed the hair dryer, and helped him blow his wet hair dry.A darkness gradually crept into Jackson's eyes...The next day, Connor found that his boss' hair... seemed to have been trimmed, but he did not remember scheduling an appointment with a hair st

"Jenny Hall thinks I killed her sister," Serenity said after a short silence. However, she had never known that a person could be so evil before she saw Jenny Hall order her nails to be plucked out of her fingers!"She's probably happier that she gets to take your place,” Lisa was still angry. "Less than a month after you were sentenced, Zeke Shaw and her already started dating. There's no way they would get together that quickly if she didn't already have her eyes on him in the first place.”"This also shows that the love between Zeke Shaw and I wasn't actually that strong. I'm glad I get to see the person he really is," Serenity said with a smile."True that. A man like Zeke Shaw doesn't deserve your love," said Lisa. She suddenly thought of something. "By the way, how are you getting along with that new brother of yours? Do you really plan to live with him forever?""Mm-hmm,” she nodded. "If Jack is willing to stay with me, then yeah, I'd like that.""People who didn't know be

Jenny Hall apologized with a sincere expression. When she bowed, she almost fell because she was so weak, and that won her a lot of sympathy.After a short pause, she continued, "I will go to the Sanitation Office to express my sincere gratitude to the sanitation workers for their help. I will also donate all my income this year to set up a breakfast stand for the sanitation workers. They can receive a free breakfast every day with their work permit.”When the video of the press conference was posted online, many people felt that Jenny handled the crisis very well. Her fans were also actively posting comments to help her improve her image.Because of this, many people actually thought that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding.Jenny Hall's visit to the Sanitation Office was highly publicized. A lot of reporters followed her there.The director of the Sanitation Office arranged for the sanitation workers who helped Jenny find the ring to shake hands with Jenny one by one and

Even though her face remained the same, it felt more weathered. She was also wearing a fluorescent work uniform instead of branded clothes.Zeke stared at her in a daze. The scene of her desperately crawling to him and begging him to believe her once again surfaced in his mind.At that time, she had looked at him with eyes that were eager, hopeful, and pleading... but now, her eyes were like a calm lake that had no ripples.Jenny saw her boyfriend's reaction from the corner of the eye. She handed the gift box to Serenity with a warm smile and said, "This is for you. I'm sorry for what happened that day. Thank you for helping me look for the ring." She was so different from the demon in the prison!Serenity took the box from her in silence. Without saying anything, she turned around and walked away.Back in the office, Serenity gave Xyla her gift box. "Xyla, you can have this.""Huh? You don't want such a good jacket?" Xyla was surprised."I have enough clothes," replied Serenity

“……” 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
