My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 459
"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

"Seriously. Why are you doing this in public? How embarrassing!" Quinton scowled.Demetria was indignant. "I'm just mad at her. Did you hear what she just said? Isn't that inhumane?! She killed Mira, yet she's saying she didn't hurt anyone!"Quinton shot a sharp glare at Serenity. "You're out of prison now. Whether or not there's a wrongful conviction is a matter for the courts to decide. But when you talk about rights..."His eyes glowed with disdain. To him, Serenity was as weak as a worm he could trample on. "You don't have the right to talk about power in front of me," he said to her. Quinton then turned to the guards beside him and ordered, "Kick her out. Now. Also, share the photos of her with the other guards and mall management. She won't be allowed in this mall again."The security guards surrounded Serenity, one left and one right, and they forced her to get moving."M-my belongings are still on the floor." Serenity finally understood what was going on. Quinton spoke w

A dangerous gleam flashed in Quinton's eyes. "It's not hard to put someone like her back in prison. I'll just get someone to do it." Quinton spoke lightly, almost as if manipulating the fate of others was a very normal thing.Demetria's eyes lit up. She said through gritted teeth, "Let's get her a life sentence this time. I want her to stay in prison for the rest of her life!" It seemed to be the only way to ease her hatred."Well, let's do as you wish." Quinton soothed, "But don't hurt yourself thinking about Mira. Think about Jenny.""I know that very well. Jenny is our only daughter left now. Why wouldn't I think of her?" Demetria added, "It's a pity she's in love with a guy from the Shaw family. If she loved Jackson, we'd still be Jackson's parents-in-law!" Demetria said this with a shrug of resignation.Quinton reminded, "We can't have every nice thing in life. Well, Jenny... She's finally getting what she wants.""You'll have to let me have my way. I want to see Serenity go
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 463
Demetria was confused and finally noticed the grave look on Jenny's face. "Jenny? What nonsense are you talking about? Apologize? Are you telling me to apologize to Serenity? That's impossible! She's lucky I didn't smash her in the face! Why do you want me to apologize?!""You two must apologize now before it's too late!" Jenny took out her phone, but her mother took the phone away before she could ring her father."What the hell is going on? Let's get this straight." Demetria's eyes locked on Jenny.Jenny took a deep breath. "Mom, Serenity has Jackson's support. We can't afford to mess with the Valor family!"Demetria's expression changed from confusion to a look that was full of shock. "How can that be? Are you kidding me?!" "I wish I was kidding, but it's true!" Jenny rasped. "Remember Joy Shaw? Didn't you ask about her leg before? Why Joy hadn't healed for so long and how she got hurt?"Demetria's nerves tingled at the grave look on Jenny's face. She had a feeling that t

Jackson's brow furrowed as soon as he heard the news. He took the phone from Connor and played the video, his eyes cold.Jackson soon exuded an air of quiet fury. Connor knew that his boss' anger was not directed at him, but the fury in Jackson's eyes was so icy that he thought he might freeze to death.Mr. Valor's wrath could rock the whole of Solaria. Serenity was Mr. Valor's precious person, and he would never let anyone hurt Serenity. The Hall family had made their move on Ms. Lewis, humiliating her in public. Not only that but there was a video filmed and posted online."Remove this video from the internet! Don't let me see it online ever again!" Jackson ordered. "Also, find the person who took the video and get the original file deleted permanently." "Understood," Connor responded.Jackson threw the phone back at Connor. Then, he grabbed his jacket and headed out of his office.Connor did not have to ask. He knew Mr. Valor was on his way to see Ms. Lewis.Connor had been

No one answered him in the room.Jackson spun around and headed straight to his room instead. He then entered Serenity's room through the inner door that connected the two rooms.Serenity's room was dark, and the lights were off. Jackson glanced around in the semi-darkness, relying on the faint sunlight shining through the curtains. Although dim, it did not affect his vision.Jackson soon found Serenity in the corner of the room, sitting curled up. She had wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face in it. She seemed like she was trying to curl into a ball.Jackson vaguely remembered seeing her hiding in a corner with a similar posture some time ago. At the thought of this, a sudden pain stabbed at him, just below his heart. The scenario from the video he had seen just moments before flashed across his mind.In the video, Serenity had gotten slapped in the face and then escorted out of the mall. The video had been recorded from a distance, too far away to hear the conver

"Don't worry. I've already had the video deleted. The video hasn't been on the internet for long. It won't resurface again," Jackson promised, his finger tracing the swollen bruise on her cheek.Serenity let out a whimper and drew in a sharp gasp.Jackson's face grew colder. "I'll get the doctor here.""It's fine. I'll get a cold compress to treat it later," Serenity refused."Don't make me worry. Let the doctor take a look at it," Jackson urged. "Alright, I’ve decided. Did the security guards at the mall hurt you? Are you hurt?""I'm fine. I didn't get hurt elsewhere," Serenity tried to play it down, not wanting Jackson to worry. "Oh, right. By the way, I-I'm visiting Granny tomorrow. I went out to get something for Granny, but I couldn't buy anything. Why don't you come shopping with me after dinner tonight?" Serenity deliberately changed the topic.Jackson gave her a deep look. A long moment later, he finally responded with a single syllable, "Sure."Just then, there was a kn

“……” 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
