My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 809
"Someone who’s not a lawyer… H-He used to be a friend, but we’re not in touch now," Serenity said with a bitter smile.Mr. Graham said thoughtfully, "Well, you must thank your friend. Without him, you wouldn't have been able to work in the legal industry again."After the briefing, Serenity came out of Mr. Graham's office. She was relieved to get out of the office. Truthfully, she feared her new boss would keep asking, trying to find out who was the one who had helped her overturn her case.Serenity was back at her desk and began to familiarize herself with the task at hand.Serenity had begun working in the legal industry as a legal assistant for about half a year. A few years later, she was back to a similar job and quickly getting used to the tasks. Although the work was a bit menial, it was not difficult.Liliana wandered over to Serenity's desk to say hello, trying to make small talk with her. She was curious about Jackson, but Serenity avoided telling her anything.Serenity

"Come! Here, to our new colleague, Serenity!" A colleague raised his glass in a toast.As the main reason for the celebration tonight, Serenity was naturally the focus of the toast.Serenity was not a good drinker. She was already a little dizzy after a couple of drinks. Her new colleagues kept raising their glasses at her, but she had to decline them all. Later, she made an excuse to go to the washroom.In the washroom, Serenity leaned against the sink, splashing her cheeks with cold water. Her cheeks were hot from the alcohol.Serenity stared at her reflection in the mirror. Several strands of loose hair on her forehead and cheeks were wet, dripping with drops of water. Her cheeks were scarlet red, and her nose and lips seemed redder than usual. She blinked her eyes and fluttered her eyelashes.Serenity used to find her long eyelashes beautiful. She would skip the mascara occasionally and wear only light makeup. After she had met Jackson, she realized a man's eyelashes could be

Serenity instinctively tried to hide when she saw Jackson's eyes glancing her way. However, she accidentally bumped into someone else as she dodged to the side."Sorry!" Serenity apologized hastily. She had accidentally bumped into a drunk man."Are you freaking blind? You bumped into me! Do you know who I am?!" The young man roared angrily."I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." At this moment, all she could do was apologize. At the same time, she could feel his eyes on her. Jackson must be watching her. He must have seen her miserable state.A sour feeling spread in her heart. The little bit of dignity and pride she had left was pricking her. Serenity had broken up with Jackson. Jackson had already seen her in a mess countless times before, but… Serenity did not want Jackson to see her current embarrassing state.Her head seemed to be spinning. If she could, she would like to get out of here. Unfortunately, the man she bumped into was not letting her go."If you really want to apologiz
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 812
Serenity felt a sharp pain when she moved. She furrowed her brows. Her left waist hurt as she had gotten kicked there earlier. "Does it hurt?" Jackson's cold voice rang in her ears again. Immediately afterward, the beautiful hand rested on her left waist, supporting her.Serenity stiffened. She could feel her blood racing when he touched her. Jackson's face got closer to hers. He came so close she could see his long and dark eyelashes. She had always known. His eyelashes were really beautiful! Whenever he fluttered his eyelashes at her, it would stir her heart. Serenity's heart was dead once, so heartbroken she had lost the capacity to feel emotion, particularly love. Maybe it was the way Jackson fluttered his eyelashes at her. He somehow stirred her emotions, letting her fall in love again. However, her heart was dead again after the heartbreak."I'm fine." Serenity tried her best to steady herself and calm down. "Mr. Valor, thank you for your help just now. I-I'm fine."As Ser
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 813
Jackson's next remark was, "Whichever foot he used to kick her earlier, cripple that leg." He spoke as if it was just an insignificant matter."Yes," Connor answered.Many people had the same question. The woman who had left earlier, who was she?!The young man was the son of the CEO of Wind Corporation, and the ruthless Mr. Valor had decided to crush the young man's leg for her. His words were the same as declaring war on the Wind Corporation!The Wind Corporation was not very powerful. It was just a family business in Solaria. Even so, was it worth it to make an enemy of Wind Corporation for a woman?***Meanwhile, Serenity returned to the private room on unsteady feet. Her head was spinning, perhaps from the conflict earlier. She felt dizzier."Serenity? Are you alright? You look pale," one of her colleagues said."I-I'm fine," Serenity managed a smile."Okay, okay. Well, today's welcome party is almost over. Let's end it here. Let's go home after paying the bill. Let Seren
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 814
Serenity's new colleagues had happily welcomed her to the new company not long ago but they now taunted her after knowing she could not pay up.Liliana grinned like a victor. She had gotten to see what she wanted to see. Liliana wanted to make Serenity miserable, embarrassing her. It was the only way for her to vent her anger!Liliana had been fired from her previous job because of Serenity and had had trouble finding a job later. A male colleague could not stand it anymore and spoke up. "What's with you guys? Serenity never promised to pay for the meal in the first place. Let's just split the bill." Since he had spoken up, the other colleagues could not say anything else.Indeed, Serenity had never said that in the first place. Besides, everyone in the group was working in the same law firm. No one was shameless enough to refuse to pay their share.The male colleague calculated the amount each person had to pay and called the waiter. When he wanted to pay the bill, the waiter sa
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 815
Who? Who was the one who had told her that? She felt that it was so sweet and yet so sad. It was so heartbreaking that she wanted to cry."I'll protect you for the rest of your life. I won't let you suffer again. No one will ever hurt you again."That was… Jack's voice. It was something Jack had said to her once.Serenity squatted on the ground. Everything Jackson had said to her in the past kept ringing in her ears. 'Don't think about it. Stop thinking about him…' She kept saying to herself in her mind.She seemed to hear the sound of footsteps again. Someone was walking to her, a step at a time. It sounded so clear. Whose footsteps were they?A pair of black leather shoes caught her eyes. Serenity slowly raised her head, and a familiar face came into her eyes. He looked like Jack… She had met him earlier in Skylit Bar.Was she drunk? She thought she was hearing things. Was she seeing hallucinations too?Serenity staggered to her feet. She rushed to the familiar figure in fro
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 816
Jackson stared down at Serenity quietly, his mouth set in a hard line. "Jack… I-I won't think about you again… I don't want to think about you anymore… I won't miss you from now…" Serenity continued to murmur. Serenity seemed drunk. She usually buried her feelings in her heart, but this time, she told him every thought that popped up in her mind. "I didn't know it's so easy for you to stop loving someone.""Tell me, between us…" Serenity hiccuped, "Who betrayed whom…""I should thank you for today… For saving me…. And paying for the bill… It's just… I-I have nothing left to give you in return…""N-No… There's something I can do for you… I won't bother you anymore… Don't worry… I won't disturb you…"Serenity rambled, not realizing how her words would hurt him more.Jackson felt a tight feeling in his chest. It was suffocating and uncomfortable. Jackson and Serenity had broken up. They were no longer in love anymore, but why? Somehow, Serenity was still in control of all of hi

“……” 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! The

"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'
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 3366
"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
