My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 823
"You still have the nerve to stand there yammering, huh?" shouted a man who was acting like a knight in shining armor rushing in to save Jenny Hall. "So what if you're told to get out?! Who do you think you are, anyway?!""What right do you have to tell me to get out?" Lisa challenged, stubbornly standing her ground. "Which laws state that I can't be here? That it's not a place for someone like me? I'm telling you, I can sue you for this!""Sue me? Fine! I want to see you do it!"The man then ordered his two subordinates, "Drag this woman out of here before she spoils Miss Hall's mood!"The two burly men then rushed toward Lisa and took each of her arms before starting to drag her out toward the exit. At that moment, neither Director Tackman nor any of her colleagues dared to speak up for her.Seeing this, Jenny gave a thin smile and jeered at Lisa, "I guess you have no choice but to get out now. Serenity Lewis might have someone protecting her, but that doesn't mean that you've

Terry waved his hand lazily and said, "Looks like you really don't want to apologize now. If I can't make those people who hurt my girlfriend pay for what they did, what kind of a lousy boyfriend would I be, right? People would laugh at me!"The man had been beaten so hard that he had to just lie there on the ground. All he knew was how it hurt like hell where he had gotten punched just now that he could not even talk anymore.Terry then turned to Jenny and asked, "What about you, Miss Hall? Are you going to apologize?"He sounded very polite and gentlemanly, yet there was an undeniable threatening tone to his voice. Jenny even felt that if she dared to refuse him, she would end up just like the man who was now lying on the floor.This man clearly would not let her off easy just because she was a woman.In that instant, she finally recognized who this man was. He was the new head of the White family who had just taken up the position half a year ago, Terry White.Even though he w

"I was just thinking about it," she shrugged. "It's important for an architect to have a big dream, right?""That's true," he replied.Then, when the auction started, Terry jumped into the bidding for the popular property and fought for it. "Mr. White," his assistant said with some surprise.After all, their initial auction targets did not include this property because it was highly sought-after, which meant that the competition would be fierce, and the final price might end up being too high. Even if they won the bid, they might only gain some reputation from it but not make much profit at all.Yet Terry merely replied, "Win this bid and we'll use this property to earn some reputation for the White family."Hearing this, the assistant no longer asked any questions, but he could not help glancing at the woman who was still sipping juice and scrolling through her phone. Could it be that Mr. White had suddenly decided to bid for this property because of what she had said?But how

"Never mind," she said. "I'll stay with this job for now. I'll just quit once I've gained some impressive achievements and made my resume look better.""But don't you mind how those people treated you earlier?""Of course I do! But…" Lisa shrugged and added, "I guess it's the disappointing helplessness of ordinary people. I'm just like them too. Even if I never got along with those people much, I still had to stay with the job in order to make a living. As for them… Well, the person attacking me at the time was Jenny Hall herself. If they had helped me back there, it would've meant declaring themselves as her enemy, and I'm not a dear friend of theirs anyway, so why would they ever do such a foolish thing just for me?"Terry was somewhat surprised that Lisa could see through all that.But as soon as Lisa had finished her sentence, her body seemed to stiffen up, and she began to stare at him with a weird look in her eyes."What's wrong?" he asked, frowning slightly. "Why are you

She didn’t want to ignore the feeling in her heart. There was no denying that she had been moved by his actions, so she didn’t want to miss this opportunity again. It wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that she had already missed the first shot more than three years ago. Now that she was presented with a second chance, she didn’t want to miss it again. The way he stared at her fixedly with those enchanting dark eyes, it was almost like he was trying to see every inch of her body and soul. “You really want to start a real relationship with me?” he asked with a slightly hoarse voice. She nodded.“A word of warning. Once we start this relationship, I won’t allow you to leave so casually in the future. I’ll overlook the time when you left me without saying goodbye, but if you do that again, I might just break your legs so you can’t go anywhere.” Every word that Terry uttered carried the effect of a full warning in itself. Lisa felt her body tremble. She was so nervous that she didn’t noti

“It suits me well,” replied Serenity. “That’s great. If you need anything else, let me know. You don’t have to be embarrassed about it. If you feel bad about it, you can always pay me back after you get your paycheck,” said Lisa.“Alright.” Serenity smiled, but there was a hint of reluctance in her expression.“What’s the matter? Is there something else that you need?” “No, it’s just…” After a moment’s pause, Serenity continued speaking. “Yesterday, when you picked me up… do you remember what I was doing?” She had been thinking about this all day, but she couldn’t remember what she had done after walking out of Skylit Bar completely intoxicated. The only thing she vaguely remembered was seeing Jackson.“You… uh... passed out in Jackson’s arms,” said Lisa. Serenity froze up in an instant. “Did… anything else happen?” “No. After I arrived, both Terry and I helped you get into the car,” explained Lisa. “But… before we left, I was still angry at him for breaking up with you, so I gave

“Alright, understood,” replied Serenity.“We’re going to submit the documents tomorrow, so the client must sign it today,” reminded Mr. Graham before handing her the client’s information.When Serenity called the number he gave her, it was the client’s secretary who answered the call. He told her that his boss was attending a party that night at Splendour and that if she wanted the document to be signed, she would have to find him there. Over the phone, he told her the hall number where the party was being held.Splendour was one of the most popular nightclubs in Solaria. When Serenity arrived at the hall, she found herself surrounded by a sea of people, all partying wildly. For a moment, she felt lost and couldn’t figure out which person was her client.It was after she called the secretary again that she found their client standing next to the pool table.At first glance, she could tell he was from a rich family. His reputation wasn’t the greatest—due to his violent tendencies towa

What was he doing here today?! She never thought she would bump into Lucas so soon. Looks like the world was smaller than she thought. Serenity glanced up and a figure entered her field of view. Tonight, Lucas was dressed in a white casual outfit. Compared to the formal outfits that he usually wore, he looked much more laid back. With the help of the lighting, she was able to make out the faint indifference in his expression. Even though he was surrounded by the crowd, she always felt that there was an invisible barrier that separated him from the ruckus around him. It was as if he had set up a barrier in the area around him, and he never allowed anyone to step into his world so easily. In the past… the only one who could step through this barrier was the little girl who had walked through hell with him, or in other words… her former self! But… Serenity’s gaze fell upon the woman who had walked into the hall arm-in-arm with him. She was her cousin, Lynette, who was serving as h

“……” 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

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
