"But the fingerprints on the steering wheel and the surveillance video of them getting into the car both indicated that Ann Hawkins was in the driver's seat and Susie Sheen was in the passenger seat," Mr. Graham argued."That is true," replied Serenity, "but… there's something fishy about the time.""The time?" Mr. Graham narrowed his eyes.Serenity continued, "I did a little experiment myself this morning and took a taxi from the location they got into the car to the location of the accident and made sure that the taxi was driving at the speed we estimated from the surveillance videos. It took me 15 minutes to get there, yet in this case, the witness, Peter Wall, immediately reported the accident to the police after it happened, which showed that the time between those two people getting into the car and the time of accident was 23 minutes! No matter how you look at it, the 8 minutes' difference is just too significant to ignore, don't you think?"Mr. Graham's eyes gleamed. This w
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict! Chapter 870
Although Susie would sometimes pause when she spoke as if she was trying to recall her memory, Serenity had a feeling that the look in Susie's eyes was not that of someone recalling something.If it was true that Susie's answers had been prepared beforehand, there was a high chance that her theory might be true.As she was lost in her thoughts, someone suddenly shoved her aside and yelled, "Damn it, you extra! What are you doing standing there?! Get out of here! Don't you see the camera here? Don't just wander around wherever you like!"Alarmed, Serenity realized that she had inadvertently walked in front of the camera in another team of filming crew. She then apologized profusely, "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!""Who hired you, anyway? Don't you know that you can't just go anywhere you like around here? Besides…"But before the man could finish his sentence, another voice interrupted him, saying, "She's not a part of the crew."Serenity turned around swiftly and saw Lucas Gome

She had a hunch that Lucas would hold her there for as long as she would not give him an answer."He has already broken up with me, so of course I would stop loving him. There, I’ve answered you. Will you let go of me now?""Who will you love, then?" he asked.She had no desire to love anyone anymore. All she wanted now was to live a quiet and peaceful life alone.She looked up at him and said, "That's none of your business, Mr. Gomez. Didn't you tell me back in the mountains that from then on, we would be strangers to each other and nothing more?"His body stiffened. Strangers… He had indeed decided that they would be strangers to each other from then on, but when it came the time to actually make it happen, he found it to be excruciatingly hard.That night, after noticing her standing so awkwardly next to the pool table, he just could not take his eyes off her. Her appearance had so easily broken his initial resolve.In fact, he even felt a little happy when he heard of her br

That way, everyone in the film crew would know of her connection to Lucas Gomez, and then, even if she only landed a minor role, she would still be able to hold her head high and be respected by everyone, not to mention that there might be a chance the director would add more scenes for her to be in!This had all been planned carefully by Lynette, and everything had indeed happened as she had planned. That was… until everything changed with Serenity's sudden appearance!Especially after so many people in the crew had seen how Lucas had grabbed Serenity's arm just now, and now that Lucas had even left…Lynette could sense that the eyes around her, which had initially been looking at her with envy, had now all turned into mockery and even sympathy.And all of this was Serenity's fault!She would never let Serenity take Lucas away from her! Lucas was her hope for a better life. If she wanted to live prosperously and luxuriously for the rest of her life, hanging onto Lucas Gomez no ma

Serenity froze in shock. She staggered uncontrollably and was about to lose her balance, but an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and supported her.A moment later, she could hear Jackson's voice asking her, "What's going on here?"She turned around and stared blankly at the face that was only inches away from her. She then turned to the two men who were now subdued by Jackson's bodyguards. Only then did her senses return to her and she said, "I don't know them.""You don't know them?" he responded, frowning."No," she answered, before turning back to him and asking, "What are you doing here?""To see you," he replied, his eyes focused on one of the men lying on the ground, wailing in pain. He turned back to her and said, "Just now, I think I heard that man say he's your boyfriend. Is that true?"His voice was low, but it was laced with a distinctly threatening aura."I told you I don't know them, so how could he be my boyfriend?!""You're right," Jackson smiled. "That was

As she spoke, she vehemently tried to pull back her hand from him, but he still held it firmly and would not let it go."Call me Jack," he said."That would be inappropriate, Mr. Valor. We…""Call me Jack," he insisted again. "Or else, do you want to stay here with me like this forever?"Serenity bit her lips. She scanned her surroundings and noticed a crowd of people staring at them. If they remained this way any longer, it was very likely that there would be a video of her with Jackson getting posted online."Ja… Jack!"She uttered the name with visible difficulty, but in the next moment, Jackson smiled faintly, and his eyes even shone with happiness, replacing the threat and hostility that had been there earlier…— Serenity watched as Jackson boldly strode into her rental room, contemplating whether or not she should move to another place. But then she thought that even if she moved, he would still follow her to her new place anyway."What exactly do you want?" she asked,

Jackson dove right in and started eating. After tasting a few bites, he looked up at Serenity and exclaimed, "It's delicious, Sis!"Her expression soured, and she told him, "I'm not your sister.""You're not?" he smiled. "But what's wrong with being my sister? You'll be the most highly esteemed woman in Solaria, and you'll get whatever you want in this city. Anything you desire, no matter how valuable, will be offered up to you on a silver plate.""And what if what I desire is for you to never show up anywhere near me again?" she asked.His eyes gradually turned gloomier. "So, you don't want to see me that much?" Even his voice had turned icy cold."That's right," she answered him firmly, her eyes meeting his.Only by never seeing him again could she truly forget him and forget all the feelings they had shared between them when they were dating.His face darkened, and a tense atmosphere began to fill the room. Just as Serenity thought Jackson might storm out in anger, he sudde

"Why?" he asked, his eyes narrowed.Because it was the only shred of dignity she had left. Although her dignity had been trampled on before and she was only beginning to piece together the broken fragments now, still… She did not want to be trampled on again."Because you're not the family that I want. For me, the current version of you can be the creditor that I'm indebted to, or you can be a boss lording over me, or you can just be a stranger, but you can never be my family!"The word "family" had always been special to her, and it had always been something that she achingly yearned for ever since she was a child. That was precisely why she would never let the sacredness of this word be trampled on!He scrutinized her with a piercing gaze. His eyes were filled with a coldness that cut through her like a blade. She endured every excruciating second of his stare and refused to avoid his eye contact, almost as if silently telling him that he would never become her family.Jackson w

“……” 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
