“What are you saying? I thought we agreed that we’d be friends for life. From now on, there’s no need for you to hide things from me. I don’t want to be a friend who gets updates about you from the news rather than from you in person,” said Lisa.

“Got it,” answered Serenity, who was on the brink of tearing up.

Lisa had always been like this. Once you were chosen as a friend, she would be loyal to the end.

The next day, when they met up, Lisa got to know the details of Serenity’s wrongful conviction, including how Yuri was the mastermind behind this.

“I never thought that someone could frame another person just because they didn’t want to be implicated,” said Lisa with a gasp. “But I’m thankful that you’ve finally proven your innocence. So, what are you going to do next?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Serenity looked forward to the next chapter in her life, but she still hesitated.

“Are you going back to being an attorney?” asked Lisa.

Serenity smiled wryly. “I’ve be

    The man would not stop talking, and everything he said was in defense of Jenny Hall. He appeared to be a fan of Jenny Hall.With a slight frown, Serenity grabbed the two books she picked out and walked over to the cash register to pay for them. She would look for Lisa after paying.However, the man would not back off. He kept pestering Serenity to announce to the public that she had forgiven Jenny. He even took out his phone to film Serenity.Serenity's frown deepened. "You have no right to film me without my consent!""You're saying that because you feel guilty! It's my phone, I can film whatever I want with it! Why haven't you responded to Jenny's apology yet? Is it because you're looking to rekindle your relationship with Zeke Shaw? That must be it, right?!"The man hurled accusations at Serenity as if he was deliberately trying to get a reaction out of her.Serenity paid for her purchase in a hurry. She wanted to look for Lisa, but more and more people started crowding around

    There were already a lot of people gathered around Serenity, but because of his shout, even more were coming over.With a slight frown, Lucas led Serenity to a car that was parked nearby and drove away after they got into the car.The gathered crowd could only stare as the car drove off. They started to gossip about the relationship between Serenity and Lucas.In the car, Serenity told Lucas, "Thanks for that. You can just put me down somewhere nearby."However, Lucas did not stop the car. Instead, he asked, "What happened back there?""A stranger recognized me. After all, my successful appeal became a hot topic online because of Jenny's apology," Serenity said, "Can you stop the car here and let me out? My friend is still in the bookstore. I have to meet up with her!"Lucas pursed his lips lightly. Eventually, he stopped the car at the side of the road.When Serenity tried to get off the car, Lucas grabbed her arm and said, "We're only 300 meters away from the bookstore, so if

    "What job do you want to do?" he asked her at the time. For him, everything came so easily. He never had to put in hard work to get anything he wanted.Some people were simply born with everything.Working was something that he had not even thought about.But this girl, who was a year or two younger than him, was already thinking about that kind of thing?"I don't know yet, but I want to do something that can bring justice to the world. I want a job that will let me protect not only myself, but also the people I love!" she said in her childish voice.Justice?He was born in a prestigious family, so he grew up knowing that there was no such thing as absolute justice. The so-called justice was sometimes just a lie.But her eyes were really serious, so he could not tell her that.After years had passed, when he finally found the little girl from back then, he found that Lynette Blossom was not doing anything that would bring justice to the world. She no longer had that righteous l

    "I... I'm sorry!" she apologized in a hurry as the pain on her wrist and in her head subsided."Why did you touch me? Also, why did you call me by that name? Serenity, do you really have no feelings for me at all?" He stared at her intensely.Her pale face turned red. "I... It's a misunderstanding!""Misunderstanding?" He suddenly laughed. "Then tell me, what kind of misunderstanding would make you call me by my nickname again and again and make you touch my face?"She bit her lower lip and could find no answer. She could only say, "It's not what you think. I won't do it again. I had a headache just now, so I mistook you for someone else.""Mistook me for someone else?" He hissed, "You called me Luke!""You're not the only person in the world called Luke!" she retorted.She suddenly caught sight of Lisa nearby, so she told Lucas, "My friend is here. I'm getting off. Let me go."Lucas stared at Serenity with fiery eyes. The tension in the air was almost palpable.A moment later

    Jackson stared at the photos displayed on his phone screen. They were photos of Lucas Gomez pulling Serenity into a car.The photos had just been posted online and had already become a sensation.Many people were speculating about the relationship between Serenity and Lucas.Connor looked timidly at his boss, who was staring gloomily at the phone in his hand. He mustered up the courage to say, "Err... Mr. Gomez appeared too suddenly. The bodyguards who were protecting Miss Lewis in secret didn't even have time to react..."Jackson's eyes remained on the phone. He gripped the phone harder with every passing second."Wipe these contents from the internet. I don't want to see them anymore." A moment later, Jackson coldly gave the order."Yes, Mr. Valor," Connor immediately answered. He left the CEO's office after that.In the quiet office, Jackson gently stroked the figure of Serenity on the phone screen. His finger eventually stopped at her wrist that was being held by Lucas.Luc

    "Something happened when I was in the bookstore, and then I ran into Lucas Gomez," Serenity did not try to hide it from Jackson.After all, she did not want him to find out from someone else. It might cause misunderstanding.His eyes landed on her face, "What happened?""A guy kept filming me with his phone and wouldn't stop. A lot of people crowded around us. To help me, Lucas brought me to his car and drove me away. He put me down at a quiet spot a few hundred meters away from the bookstore, where I met up with Lisa."She told him the gist of the story."Jack, I don't want you to misunderstand. Lucas simply happened to be there today. It was a total coincidence," said Serenity.If there was anything different about her feelings towards Lucas, it was only because her strange dreams confused her.His eyelashes fluttered gently. He then reached out and pulled her into his embrace, "I’m not gonna misunderstand because I know that the man you love the most is me. Right?""Of cours

Why would he still help Serenity and pull her into his car?In the photos, he showed Serenity a lot of concern!If Lucas knew that the person he was looking for was actually Serenity...

    His hair was usually neatly combed, but it was slightly ruffled at the moment with a few strands of hair dropping down to his forehead. His handsome face was usually cold and indifferent, but right now, it looked disoriented and lonely.He was holding a small silver bracelet.His eyes were fixed on the bracelet.Lynette's feelings were complicated when she saw the bracelet.After Lynette assumed Serenity's identity, Lucas did not give her the silver bracelet. Instead, he kept it.Sometimes, he would look at the bracelet even though she was right next to him, as if he was looking at something through the bracelet.What was he looking at? Serenity when she was little? The thought drove Lynette crazy with jealousy."Lucas," Lynette bit her lip and tried to look sad, "Why didn't you come pick me up from school?

    “……” 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
