The look in his eyes changed immediately the moment he saw Lynette holding the dress up.

“What are you doing with that skirt? Put it back now!”

His voice sounded so cold and hostile that it startled her.

“W-Weren’t you… going to give me this dress?”

As soon as she said that, Lucas’ expression changed again. Still, Lynette technically wasn’t wrong.

From the day he had paid for this dress, he had planned to give it to the little girl who had saved his life. After so many years, he still remembered his promise to her, that he would give her a purple dress decorated with little flowers.

However, when he finally met Lynette, he struggled to draw a connection between her and the girl from before.

For decades, he had longed for this person, only for her to feel like a complete stranger when they finally met.

“If you want a dress, I’ll get you another one later,” said Lucas as he took the dress away from Lynette.

Her face froze up immediately. She decided to play along as if i

    "What kind of place is it?" Serenity's curiosity was piqued.Lisa covered her mouth to hide her cheeky smile and said, "You'll find out soon enough."Serenity thought Lisa was smiling like a cunning brothel madame in a movie.When Lisa finally took her to the "cool spot", it turned out to be a simple basement bar. The place was mostly filled with young people ranging from 17 to their early 20s.The two of them looked really out of place among the youngsters.Serenity, not understanding the appeal, asked, "What's so great about this place?""You'll see!" Lisa answered with a wink.At 8 pm, a band with five members took the stage. The atmosphere in the bar became electrifying.The band seemed pretty ordinary to Serenity, but Lisa was very excited."Here they come, here they come!" "You brought me here to see them?" Serenity asked. "They've been very popular recently in certain circles. All five of them are good looking. When they dance, they're smoking hot!" Lisa grew more e

    "What's wrong? Did something happen?" Jackson asked indifferently."It's... about Ms. Lewis.""Serenity?" Jackson's expression turned serious, "What happened to her?""Well... Today, her friend Lisa Quest took her to an underground bar to watch a show."Jackson asked, "Did they get into a fight?" He wasn't that worried about her safety as he had dispatched people to protect her in secret.If those people couldn't even handle that kind of problem, they were as good as useless."No, but KING is performing at the underground bar today.""KING?" Jackson raised an eyebrow. "They're a bar band that's rising in popularity recently. Most of their fans are... young women," Connor's voice grew quieter as he spoke. "Keep going," Jackson said with narrowed eyes."KING's performance... incorporates a lot of dancing. Some of the dances... are meant to excite the female audience, particularly when they... strip..." Connor became increasingly nervous the more he spoke. When he said the w

    As soon as Jackson exited the car, he could already hear the noises and shouting inside the bar. It made him frown.Noticing that, Connor suggested tentatively, "Mr. Valor, it's very crowded inside. Should I go in and retrieve Ms. Lewis for you?""No, I'll take care of it myself!" Jackson responded coldly.At that moment, a silver Porsche raced down the road and stopped in front of the bar.A tall man emerged from the car. He was taken aback when he saw Jackson.Jackson was similarly surprised to see him.The two men stared at each other.Connor fought the urge to laugh. You don't see a sight like this everyday! "Are you here for Lisa?" Jackson broke the silence.Terry's eyes lit up. "And you're here for... Serenity?" "You'll get yours and I'll get mine," Jackson stated.Alright, looks like Jackson is indeed here for Serenity, Terry thought to himself.The reason Terry knew Lisa was there was because, in her excitement, she took a picture of the stage and shared it on soc

    Terry spotted Lisa on a table waving excitedly at the five men on stage. She seemed to be holding a man’s vest. It looked like... a performer's costume!Serenity was behaving a little better compared to Lisa. But not by much, Terry concluded.Serenity was currently standing on a chair, waving her hands and cheering excitedly. She shouted at the five men on stage who were dancing vigorously with their shirts off, "Keep going! Keep going!" "…..." This was definitely not the Serenity Lewis that Terry knew. Terry stole a glance at Jackson. The inside of the bar was dim so he could not see Jackson's facial expression, but even so... Terry wished Serenity luck.He had no idea what kind of fate awaited Serenity now that she had made Jackson Valor angry.They had already split up, but based on Jackson's reaction, Terry couldn't help but think that... things were not that simple between them.Jackson walked up to Serenity and swept her off her feet, carrying her off the chair.To hi

    Jackson gave off a cold intensity, while Terry refused to back down an inch.It felt as if the two men were cut off from the noise around them.Connor, who was standing behind Jackson, was sweating with fear. If Mr. Valor got into a conflict with Terry White, the consequences would be dire.The White family may not be based in Solaria, but if they decided to fight the Valor family for real, both sides would suffer heavy losses.Moreover, Terry White may look like a gentleman on the outside, but he was actually ruthless and cunning.Otherwise, an illegitimate child like him would never have become the head of the White family.Just then, Serenity, who was in Jackson's arms, told Lisa, "Lisa, Jack came to pick me up... Let's watch the show again some other time!"Lisa replied, "Okay, some other time then!"The two intoxicated women had inadvertently lightened the mood. Jackson left the bar with a gloomy face with Serenity. Connor followed him outside.Terry wanted to take Lisa a

    Serenity wrapped her hands around Jackson's neck, gazing at his familiar face up close.He's... Jack. The Jack that she could always... rely on."I'm so happy today, Jack," she whispered.His eyebrows furrowed hearing that. "Happy?" "Yeah... So happy... Watching the show and dancing along makes me forget all my problems..." she mumbled.What kind of problems was she trying to forget? She couldn't remember anymore.But holding onto Jack like this made her feel safe. It was a feeling that she had not had for a long time."Lisa said... the band earlier... have been very popular lately...""Lisa likes the guy who dyed his hair white, but... I prefer the one... with black hair... I've always preferred dark hair." "I... wanted to fight for their clothes too... when they took off their clothes and threw them to the crowd...""Lisa said... if I really liked the vest she got, she would give it to me..."Connor could feel the atmosphere in the car getting heavier as Serenity spoke.

    He vaguely remembered having the same conversation with her once, back when they had just started living together.Back then, her answer was..."Of course I'd like you, Jack!" Serenity grinned, though it was a drunken smile. Her answer was the same as before.Was she only saying that because she was drunk? Back then, she was his Sis, and he was her Jack.He asked her again, "If I'm good, will you be my Sis?" Be his Sis, and stay by his side.Although he couldn't give her love, he could give her everything else.He could make her dreams come true. He could make the people who looked down on her bow down to her. He could help her become someone important.As long as... she remained by his side.That might be the only way to make him feel better."Sure, but... I'm already your Sis," she said softly, "Jack, don't be scared... I'll protect you... I'll definitely protect you..."As she talked, her eyes slowly closed. Her voice kept getting softer until finally, she dozed off.He s

    The maid made hangover soup while Terry sat Lisa down on the couch. He promised to drive her home after she finished the soup.But Lisa pouted and said, "I don't want to go home! I want to watch the show! Take me back to the bar right now so that I can ogle at hot men!"That annoyed Terry. "Ogle at hot men?! Lisa Quest! You told me you had to work, but you went to a bar instead?! How dare you?! I need to teach you a lesson!"Lisa's body tensed. Even though she was drunk, she knew she was the one in the wrong. "How did you... find me? I... I didn't tell you I went to the bar!" she grumbled, still displeased. "How do you think?!" he grunted in annoyance. If she hadn't posted that picture on social media, he would never have found out."Give me the vest," Terry demanded. It annoyed him to see her hold onto another man's vest. "No!" Lisa shook her head vehemently, clutching the vest even tighter. "It's mine! *hic* I fought hard for it!"Fought hard for it?! Terry was so mad he s

    “……” 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
