My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 624
What was going on? Why was that childish conversation in her dream almost identical to the words Lucas had said to her at the restaurant earlier that evening?Or perhaps she had had this dream because of what he had said?Thinking of this, Serenity could not help herself from frowning again, and the throbbing headache returned."What's wrong?" she heard Jackson ask her. "Are you feeling unwell?""No," she replied. "Just a headache."He raised his hand and gently pressed his warm fingertips on her forehead and temples, massaging her. He used just the right amount of strength, and it really did soothe her a lot."Better now?" he asked."Yeah," she nodded. "I'm feeling a little better now.""Maybe I should take you to the doctor for an examination tomorrow," he suggested, "just to find out what's been causing your headache.""No, it's fine. I think I'm only having a headache because I had a weird dream after hearing what Lucas said to me this evening.""What did you say?" Jackso

"Okay," she replied, gently closing her eyes to savor the gentle massaging of his fingers."Still..." she murmured. "It looked like Lucas really cared about that woman, Jack."In the past, she used to think that Lucas was a playboy, but his persistence in his search for the woman in his memories truly surprised her. It sounded like the woman he was looking for was a little girl he had met when he was a boy himself. In that case, how long must he have been searching for her? Ten years? Twenty years?The kind of determination it took for someone to keep looking for a person was really rare to see. "He must've been looking for her for a long time," Serenity commented. "Do you think he'll find her one day?""What do you think?" he threw the question back at her. "Do you want him to find that person?""I hope he will," she responded. "That way, he'd never mistake me for that person again."With her eyes closed, she did not see Jackson's eyes, which were hazy with deep thoughts at th

She remembered how the price of this diamond had gone up to tens of millions of dollars. She had even joked at the time about who would eventually get to wear such an opulently expensive diamond.Never would she have thought that one day, the very same diamond would appear once again right in front of her.She asked Jackson, "Is this... the Heart of Serenity?""You've seen it before?" Jackson responded, somewhat surprised."Uh-huh," she nodded."I was planning to use this diamond for your wedding ring," he told her. "Later, you may choose the best style of ring for you, or you can let the designer design a special style just for you."Wedding ring?! Serenity blinked her eyes in disbelief.Was this diamond that was worth tens of millions of dollars really going to be on her wedding ring?! She suddenly felt as if everything was getting too surreal."What's wrong?" he asked, slightly furrowing his brows. "Don't you like it? If you really don't, I can find a different diamond, or p

What was once an insurmountable task was now made possible thanks to him. “Didn’t you always look forward to overturning your case? Why have you gone quiet all of a sudden?” asked Jackson. “The evidence... can they really overturn my conviction? Can it... really reveal the truth?” murmured Serenity to herself. The truth... There was a near-imperceptible falter in Jackson’s gaze. “Yeah, there won’t be any problem with that. Have faith in me!” Just like that, tears came pouring out of her eyes. Amid her intermittent sobs, she said, “Thank you, Jack!” The sight of her in tears moved him. He quickly pulled out a napkin and dried her tears. “Come now, stop crying. I gathered all this evidence to help you overturn your conviction, not to see you cry.” Seeing her in tears made his heart ache. However, hearing him say those words only made her tear up even more. It was as if the pain and injustice she had endured over the past few years had finally come pouring out of her heart

“This matter has nothing to do with you, but you’re helping me overturn my conviction. I’m crying, but it’s not because I’m sad. It’s because this matter has been haunting me for too long that I lost control when I realized my dream isn’t all that impossible to achieve,” explained Serenity. Jackson pursed his lips. Instead of speaking, he merely pulled her into his arms. She still didn’t know why he had apologized to her just now. He felt guilty because she had been forced to go through so much due to his indifference and conniving attitude. All he could do was give her a clean slate to start her life anew. As for the truth that she sought, he had to make sure she never discovered it! Jackson hugged Serenity in his arms tightly. ***The next day, Serenity requested a day off from Clara in order to meet her attorney together with Jackson. Because it was her case, she felt especially nervous. What surprised her that day was Jackson’s decision to visit the firm that she use

Serenity finished washing her hands and was drying them with a paper towel when she noticed a figure walk up to her from behind. The other person was just as surprised as she was. “Serenity? What are you doing here?!” Serenity never thought she would bump into Liliana here. Instead of the suit she used to wear, she was dressed more like a janitor. “What? Is there a problem with me being here?” snapped Serenity harshly. Ever since Liliana had assigned her case to the newcomers at the firm, the seed of hatred had been sowed deep in Serenity’s heart. Back then, she used to think Liliana was just pettier than her other colleagues, but her “cruelty” turned out to be far more than she had anticipated. Liliana glared angrily at Serenity. It was now her turn to be the laughingstock of the firm. From an attorney, she had been demoted to a janitor. All this had happened thanks to Serenity. Who would have expected Lucas to retaliate for her sake?On the second day, she was ordered
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 630:
Liliana felt her cheek burn up as half her face went numb due to the slap. When she turned to face the person who had attacked her, she came face-to-face with Serenity’s boyfriend. “How... how dare you hit me?!” stuttered Liliana. “Am I not allowed to?” Jackson sneered back at her. The spiteful look in his gaze was a rare sight, even for Serenity. Yet here it was, on full display. “I-I’m helping you out here! You don’t even know that Serenity’s having an affair with Lucas Gomez! They...” Liliana endured the pain and tried her best to produce those words. And yet, she hadn’t finished speaking when she received another tight slap across the face. In mere seconds, Liliana’s cheeks were bright red. She could even taste the blood in her mouth. No doubt, that man didn’t hold back when he slapped her. However, that was nothing compared to how frightening his glare was. Those were... the eyes of a killer! In fact, something told her that this man was capable of killing her with t
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 631
As Jackson and the rest of the attorneys entered the conference room, the firm receptionist walked up to Liliana and demanded, “Give me your phone. I need to collect the recording you made just now.” “For what?” Liliana clutched her phone stubbornly. She was no fool. How could she hand over such a damning piece of evidence so easily?! The receptionist looked down at her as if she was staring at a fool. “It’s because the man you pissed off just now was Jackson Valor. The fact that I’m asking you to hand over your phone voluntarily is already a privilege. As long as you stop insulting Serenity from now on, they won’t do anything to you. Otherwise...” “What did you just say? That man was Jackson Valor?!” The receptionist was cut off mid-sentence. “That’s right. Mr. Valor brought Serenity here today to overturn her conviction!” Liliana’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Jackson... how could that man possibly be Serenity’s boyfriend?! It was impossible! The victim

“……” 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
