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

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

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

But before she could get anywhere near Jackson, Connor was already blocking her way."Get out of my way!" she shouted. She tried to go around Connor, but there was no way Connor would let her get to Jackson.Lisa struggled in futile for a long while, but she still could not get anywhere near Jackson, so she shouted at Terry, who was rushing out of the car, "Hey, get your a*s over here now and help me!"Terry strode up toward her but then looked straight at Jackson and told him, "Mr. Valor, my girlfriend would like to take Serenity home, so please tell your subordinate to make way for her."Jackson pursed his lips but said nothing, his eyes locked on the woman in his arms.At that point, Lisa could no longer restrain herself from blurting out, "Why the hell are you holding Serenity like that, Jackson Valor?! Have you forgotten that you're the one who wanted to break up with her? Since you guys have already f*cking broken up now, why the hell are you still hugging her?!"As soon as

Terry's face darkened. He strode forward and stood in front of Lisa before saying, "Mr. Valor, Lisa was just trying to protect her friend. If she has offended you, let me bear the punishment on her behalf.""I don't need your help, Terry! I can bear the punishment myself!""How on earth do you think you can bear it?!" Terry shot back. "Do you have any idea what you're talking about?!""At most, I'll just get beaten up till I'm half dead! I'm prepared for that!""Lisa! Are you trying to p*ss me off right now?!"Terry had always been able to keep his temper under control no matter what happened except whenever he was facing Lisa. Jackson's icy gaze was locked on Lisa. It was clear that he would not let the matter slide so easily. But just then, Serenity, who had been so drunk that she had fallen asleep up to this point, suddenly rubbed her head against Lisa's shoulder and mumbled, "Lisa… Don't be scared… I'm here, and I'll protect you…"Lisa's eyes were welling up with tears.

"When I was still in school, I was accused of stealing money in class. Everyone thought I was the one who did it. The teacher urged me very sternly to fess up. Even my parents told the school that they were willing to pay back the money that was lost, but the truth was that I never stole anything!"As Lisa spoke, her nose twitched as it suddenly began to sting, but she went on, "I remember that feeling of helplessness. I don't know if you can ever understand it. It's like the whole world is against you, and you're all alone without any help, without anyone by your side. It didn't matter how much I explained to everyone that I was innocent, no one would believe me, and yet… At that moment, Serenity believed in me. She even figured out who the real thief was!"As she spoke of this, Lisa smiled before adding, "At that point, I made up my mind that Serenity would be my best friend for the rest of my life!"Terry pursed his thin lips tightly. Was such a… trivial matter the reason why Lis

With a calm expression, he gently took her hand and told her, "Yes, I'm willing to be your knife, even if the one you're going up against is Jackson Valor."For her, he was willing to be anyone's enemy if it meant that he was fulfilling her wish.Because he… had fallen so deeply in love with her.Yes, he loved her.It was a genuine and profound love, yet he had never truly told her about it yet. He had been angry with her, had hated her, had held a grudge against her, yet in the end, he discovered that none of these feelings outweighed his love for her.During their three years of separation, he always assumed that he had been hating her, but at the end of the day, what he was really feeling was just love. He missed her every day, and before he knew it, the love he had for her only grew deeper and deeper as time passed."Lisa," he declared, "I will be the knife in your hands alone for the rest of my life."In that instant, Lisa could feel how violently her heart was thumping in

After all, there were many of these "Cinderellas" these days who refused to use any of their rich boyfriend's money while they were dating and would rather go on living a frugal life without their boyfriend's help. Serenity's colleague thought Serenity looked very much like such a "Cinderella", and in fact, when she was chatting with her other colleagues earlier, they were all speculating about who was the one to pay their bill yesterday."I'm not his girlfriend," Serenity denied. Even if she really was his girlfriend in the past, she no longer was at present."Huh?" the colleague responded in confusion, not expecting Serenity to deny it so bluntly. "You're not his girlfriend? But Liliana said…""So, is my boyfriend going to be whoever she said it is?" Serenity snapped back.The colleague choked and no longer had any idea how to respond. Serenity then walked out of the pantry with a glass filled with water, returned to her seat, and began working.To her, love had already beco

“……” 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
