"What do you mean by that? Illegal money?! My work and money are legitimate!" York denied it, a tinge of guilt in his eyes.The mediator changed the topic and asked casually, "By the way, I went to your parent's house yesterday and talked to them. Your parents have a heavy Solarian accent. Are they Solarian?" "Yeah. My parents used to live there.""Are you from Solaria too? Why did you settle in San Marco? Solaria is much better than San Maroc," the mediator chatted as if making small talk."There's too much pressure in a big city. It's smaller here, but life is comfortable.""Right." The mediator smiled and added abruptly, "I almost forgot to mention. The guy you hurt wanted me to ask you about Ms. Hall. He wants you to do as he says and pay up, otherwise, he'll tell the public and expose you.""Ms. Hall..." York's face paled slightly, but he tried to hide his panic. "I don't quite understand what you mean by exposing me, but I was a witness in a case some years ago. The deceas

Jackson was like the king of Solaria—he would always have what he wished for. He could overturn the case if he wanted to. Besides, Serenity was innocent. They would eventually find the real mastermind behind this.Lisa cheered up, no longer gloomy. "It's almost noon. Let's go for lunch," she suggested.Serenity nodded in agreement. The four of them then left the facility and got into the car.Lisa dug through the list of good food in San Marco hurriedly and found a couple of places for Serenity to choose from. The two men had no objection, naturally. Terry then drove the group to lunch.They decided on a local specialty restaurant in San Marco, an old favorite. The four of them requested a private room and began ordering food.Lisa did most of the ordering and decided according to the food ranking list. She ordered everything that had lots of good reviews and ended up with almost 20 dishes. Lisa looked around and realized that she had ordered too much food, but there were only f

"Alright, let's eat," Jackson urged.The four of them had lunch together, and while eating the shrimp, Serenity felt a little shy when Jackson offered to peel them for her. Her best friend, Lisa, and Terry were both staring. Lisa even winked at her, making Serenity flush with embarrassment. Jackson, on the other hand, seemed relaxed. He did not care about the stares.When they finished the meal, Jackson reminded Serenity, "Don't forget to take your medicine 20 minutes after the meal.""Okay." Serenity responded."Are you sick?" Lisa was shocked and asked with concern."No, not really. It's some kind of medicine for joint pain," Serenity explained.Lisa was surprised. Lisa knew that her friend had health issues after spending three years in prison. Serenity suffered from rheumatism and pain, particularly in cold and cloudy weather. Lisa had previously tried to get Serenity to go to the hospital and get it checked, but Serenity would always give her the same excuse. She underst

Serenity understood Lisa's concerns. "It's fine. I'll find out the truth eventually. I'll give Mira justice and clear my name!" Serenity spoke with determination and then asked in reply, "Let's stop talking about me. What about you? How are you with Terry?" "What else can I do? Just let it be." Lisa shrugged. "Anyway, we seem like a couple in a normal relationship."Lisa's relationship with Terry seemed very normal, which often put Lisa in doubt. She wondered if she was seriously dating Terry and would fall for him. Lisa kept reminding herself that it was not real. Her relationship was just a game, and Terry would have his revenge once she fell in love with him."I feel that it's not what you think. Terry probably isn't seeking revenge," Serenity suggested. A man like Terry had plenty of options to get his revenge. There was no reason for him to pick such a lengthy and time-consuming method to get back at Lisa."I also hope it's not what I imagined." Lisa pouted in disagreement.

Terry noticed Lisa's sparkling eyes, and for some reason, he felt annoyed again.When they returned to Solaria, they headed to the Valor Residence first. Terry moved to the driver's seat once Jackson and Serenity had left the car."Serenity! I'll see you next time," Lisa waved goodbye to Serenity."Okay," Serenity responded. "Thanks for today and take care!" After that, she walked through the gates of the Valor Residence with Jackson.Lisa's eyes remained glued on Jackson and Serenity. Soon, Terry's impatient voice rang in her ear. "Are you done yet?""I'm just staring. What's wrong?" Lisa grumbled. Lisa did not think of Jackson as a homeless guy when she had first met Jackson in Serenity's rented place. Who would have thought? Jackson actually turned out to be an all-powerful bigshot in Solaria!While Lisa was lost in her thoughts, Terry cupped her cheeks and turned her head to look at him. "What? You said you loved my face two days ago. Why are you looking at Jackson now? Are y

'Forget it! Fine! I owe it to him!' Lisa thought to herself.***When Serenity and Jackson returned to the Valor Residence, Jackson asked, "Feeling disappointed today? We made a trip to San Marco and found nothing useful."Serenity shook her head. "I'm fine.""You're not disappointed?" Jackson seemed a little surprised."Because you're willing to help in my journey to prove my innocence," Serenity said, feeling grateful. "It doesn't matter if we find useful clues or not. I'm just happy with your help."She felt his trust in her, and the barriers between them seemed to be slowly fading. He gazed at her steadily. He understood her desire to clear her name, but... He could clear her name but not give her the truth—the truth she wanted to know."As long as you're happy." His lips curled into a smile. He changed the subject and asked, "You don't have to go to work for the next few days. What are your plans?""I thought about visiting Grandma in two days," Serenity mentioned. She h

"I wanted to know how bitter it is," Jackson explained, examining the taste of the bitter liquid medicine in his mouth. "It's so bitter."Serenity felt speechless. Who in the world would take the medicine itself to find out how bitter it was?! Not to mention, the medicine was meant for women's health.Such a small amount of residue would not cause a bad tummy, but... Jackson seemed a little too reckless."Why don't you have a candy too? It'll help with the bitterness," Serenity spoke with a piece of candy still in her mouth."Okay," Jackson hummed. Instead of taking the candy from the tray, he leaned toward her and put one hand against the back of her head, his handsome face close to hers."Jack..." As her lips parted, his kiss landed on her lips. Jackson captured her mouth in an intense kiss, stealing bittersweet tastes from her lips, leaving Serenity breathless. Serenity could barely tell what flavor remained in her mouth when the kiss ended, and she looked at him with flushed

After a moment of hesitation, Serenity nodded and agreed with Elliot's suggestion. She did not want to put him on the spot.Serenity then had the chauffeur drive her to a mall downtown.Serenity wanted to buy some clothes and food for her grandmother. The food section was on the first floor, so she headed there first.Serenity looked at the pastries and made her pick. Foods high in sugar or carbohydrates could cause spikes in Emily's blood sugar levels, so although the pastries suitable for the elderly and people with high blood sugar were a little more expensive, she bought them anyway. After paying the bill, she walked up the escalator with the box of pastries.Just as Serenity arrived at the second floor, a figure strode toward her. Someone slapped her hard on her face before she could even react.Serenity stumbled and almost fell to the ground, barely steadying herself. Unfortunately, the box of pastries in her hand fell to the ground."Hey, who is this? Aren't you the murd

“……” 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
