My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 522
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,

Mr. Wayne's expression turned severe, but Julia still went on to whine petulantly, "This must be Serenity Lewis's doing! She's showing off her power! What a wicked woman! Just because Jackson Valor is interested in her now doesn't mean that she can put on airs like that..."But Mr. Wayne's unease only grew stronger and stronger. Perhaps this matter might not resolve quite so easily as he thought."Dad," said Julia with a pout, "since they say they're too busy right now, let's just go home."But just as soon as she had finished her sentence, Mr. Wayne's phone rang. He answered it and shortly after, all the color was drained from his face, and he broke out in cold sweat.Julia was puzzled when she saw how crestfallen her father seemed after hanging up the phone, so she asked him, "What's wrong, Dad?"As a reply, her father raised his hand and slapped her hard on the face."This is all your fault!" he yelled. "Because of you, our whole family is done for!"The tax evasion scandal c

Serenity had thought about it before. Just what sort of person could knock up Clara and force her to have his child despite not being married?Given the circumstances, the only explanation why Clara had chosen to bear his child instead of aborting it was because she loved him. “How... how did you know?” asked Serenity with surprise. Jackson gently brushed a strand of hair back over her ear. “Do you think I wouldn’t care about your workplace? Since you decided to stay with them, it’s only natural that I ran a check on the people working there.” Serenity swallowed the knot that was stuck in her throat as she stared dumbfoundedly at him. She knew he was obsessive, but not to this extent. Seeing her remain completely silent, a slight frown appeared on Jackson’s face. With a tinge of sadness in his eyes, he asked, “What, you don’t like what I’m doing? Do you think I’m spying on you?” Serenity shook her head. “No, I understand you’re just worried about my safety.” Jackson was su
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 528
Serenity nodded and fell silent. She knew Clara, being a single mother, was someone with a past. However, she never expected it would turn out to be this. A woman imprisoned by the father of her own child. Few people could bear that level of humiliation. Despite what had happened, Clara still managed to open a small restaurant while raising Yanny. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling sorry for Clara?” asked Jackson.“I feel like life has been terribly unfair to her,” murmured Serenity in response. Jackson observed the worried expression on her face. Was she worried about Clara? Or was something else bothering her mind?In the past, she only had to worry about her grandmother, Lisa. Now, it seemed that more and more people were occupying her mind. A feeling of jealousy surged in his heart. Jackson was well aware that Serenity’s worries had nothing to do with romantic love, but the feeling of jealousy still plagued him. Perhaps he cared too much about her emotions. Instead of

“Say my name, Serenity. I want you to say my name...” urged Jackson with his hoarse and seductive voice.“Jack...” In the next second, he pressed his lips against hers, and he began kissing her passionately. The sound of her calling his name was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. In fact, he wanted to treasure it for the rest of his life. ***Recently, various news outlets across the city had begun reporting on the Wayne family’s tax evasion scandal. While there was a half-hearted attempt to cover up the incident, it was now put on full display for everyone to see. All the while, the Tax Bureau had gathered sufficient evidence of their tax evasion to bring a lawsuit against the Waynes. It was reported that the Waynes had paid back a considerable sum for their taxes and fines, which led to a severe restriction in their cash flow. Due to the incident, no bank was willing to give any loans to the Waynes as well. The Waynes, who once owned a large chain of convenien

“……” 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
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3369
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
