My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 518
"By the way," said Zandra, "We've been wondering about the nature of the relationship between you and Jackson Valor. Why don't you tell us about it? You don't mind satisfying our curiosity, do you?"Serenity smiled gently and replied, "This is a private matter. I don't think it's appropriate to talk about it here."The looks on the three women's faces changed abruptly when they heard this. Julia Wayne, the daughter of the Chairman of a convenience store chain, blurted out, "What's so inappropriate about it? Is it because you're hiding something humiliating? Is that why you're so reluctant to speak about it?"Serenity's expression darkened. Sure enough... It had finally happened. She had been trying her best to avoid such a situation, yet there was no way to escape it now.The hotel owner's granddaughter, Yuna Keller, kept staring at Serenity's face with a slight frown, almost as if she was deep in her thoughts. Julia then continued aggressively, "You didn't use some sly schemes t
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 519
Julia and Zandra were both shocked as well.Julia suddenly burst out laughing and said, "I was wondering what kind of a woman you were! So, it turns out that you're a murderer! Does Jackson Valor know that you're the one who killed Mira Hall?"At the moment, Julia just could not wait to see what Serenity would look like when Jackson finally realized that she was the culprit involved in that car crash all those years ago. She firmly believed that there was no way Jackson already knew about this. Otherwise, there was simply no way that he would let Serenity so openly attend this function as his glamorous companion!Zandra pursed her lips and smiled before saying, "By the way, I think Zeke is here right now as well. I just saw him with Jenny Hall. Why don't we let the former couple meet each other?"Hearing this, Julia was now even more spirited. She craned her neck and looked around. Coincidentally, Zeke and Jenny were not far from them at all, so she cried out to them, "Zeke! Your e

"That's right," echoed Yuna. "It's all because of this woman's shamelessness! Who knows what kind of sly tactics she used to bait Jackson to be with her?! I'm sure he had no idea about her being in prison!"There was a flash of surprise in both Jenny and Zeke's expressions when they heard this. Zeke was about to say something, but Jenny furtively tugged at him, signaling him not to say anything about it.Serenity could sense that more and more eyes were focused on them now. In fact, after hearing what Julia had said just now, many people had turned to stare at her with looks of shock, some even with disdain and mockery. They all seemed to regard her as a clown who was about to make a fool of herself in public.She sighed. It looked like she was about to embarrass Jack at this function today. After all, there was no way that she could ever change what had happened to her in the past. Not wanting to remain there as a clown for everyone to laugh at, she turned around and made up her

"They just said some things to me, and my dress got stepped on, that's all."Serenity had no desire to pour her heart out about all her grievances right here and now. "I'm sorry," she continued. "I'm afraid bringing me here with you today has turned out to be...""You've got nothing to apologize for," he interrupted her. "It's all my fault. I should've taken better care of you and not let you get dragged into this kind of situation."As he spoke, he knelt and tied up the torn ends of her dress into a knot so that it would not drag along the floor, just in case she tripped on it and fell.Everyone around them gasped the moment Jackson went down on his knees. None of them would have thought that the most powerful man in Solaria would kneel before a woman like that. Once he was done tying up the loose ends of her dress, he raised his chin to look up at Serenity and asked, "Are you hurt anywhere on your body?"At that point, he was on his knees, looking up at her as she stood and

Serenity Lewis was the driver who had caused Mira Hall's death back then, yet she was now with Jackson Valor! These were the two people most unlikely to end up together, yet that was exactly what had happened right now. Who would have thought?!Thud!Caleb heard the sound of something heavy crashing to the floor. He turned around and saw Julia sitting on the floor after falling when her legs had failed her. He looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. It seemed that the Wayne family would be in big trouble now, and Julia would most likely be banned from this social circle from now on.After all, Jackson had never been a generous and forgiving man.Even Zandra Lane and Yuna Keller were now overcome with a tide of fear, especially Zandra. No matter how hard it was for her to accept what had just happened, she still could not suppress the fear that was showing in her eyes.Judging by the way Jackson had reacted just now, it was clear that he already knew everything about Serenity's pa

"Zeke," said Jenny, "it's getting too stuffy in here. Come with me to the back garden. I need some fresh air.""Okay." Zeke turned to his fiancee beside him with a conflicted look in his eyes. "Why didn't you want me to speak back then?" he asked her in a voice so soft that only the two of them could hear it. "Did you expect this to happen?""Yeah," Jenny replied with a faint smile. "Since someone is so eager to jump in front of the bullet, there's no point for us to stop her. Besides, now, another family apart from ours has offended Jackson Valor. In fact, she seems to have offended him much worse than we did."Zeke stared at the smile on his fiancee's lips, and feelings of loss and gloominess arose in his heart. He felt as if he had truly lost something that he would never be able to get back. And now, all he could do was to be tied up forever with this woman in front of him—all for the benefit of their two families!Not far away from them, there was another man who had been wa

Jackson felt a pang of agony, almost as if someone had just stabbed him in the heart."But it’s a pity that this dress got torn," Serenity said in a regretful tone. "I only got to wear it once."It really was too bad that there was such a huge gaping hole in such an exquisite dress. Even if she wanted it mended, she had no doubt that it would cost a lot of money and require a lot of specialized skills."I'll just buy you a new one," replied Jackson. "The most important thing is that you're not hurt."Serenity smiled and shook her head, telling him, "But I'm not hurt at all! I'm not as fragile as you think I am, you know."But her smile only made him feel more ill at ease. She was right. Although she might appear thin and weak, she had always been tenaciously fighting to survive. After spending a lot of time with her, he now understood more than anyone else in the world how strong she was. And yet, that was precisely why he was filled with even more guilt and regret. It was all b

"Let me hug you for a while," Jackson murmured tenderly. "The driver will be here soon."He then glanced at the woman in his arms before turning around to take a glimpse at Lucas, who was standing not far away, watching them.The two men's eyes met. Moments later, a black car slowly drove up toward Jackson and Serenity. Jackson turned his gaze away and led Serenity into the car. Serenity turned around and climbed into the car, unaware that Lucas and Aria had been standing not too far away from them all along.Aria pursed her red lips silently until the black car disappeared on the horizon. Only then did she raise her head and said, "Lu..."But just as she opened her mouth, the rest of her words never escaped her throat as she noticed the expression of the man in front of her. Lucas's face, which had always been strikingly handsome, which had always looked cold and distant, now seemed to be in a violent struggle, almost as if Lucas was trying his hardest to restrain his feelings,

“……” 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
