All Chapters of My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

She remembered reading in gossip columns about how much Lucas used to shower Lyra with love, how she could land a leading role in any film she liked, how any director who did not get along with Lyra would instantly get replaced with a different one, how he would rent the entire hotel, even if it was the most expensive and luxurious hotel in Solaria, if Lyra wanted to have a birthday party in it...With such treatment from Lucas, it was no wonder that everyone thought Lyra would soon be marrying into the wealthy Gomez family.Yet, who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, things would take such a dramatic turn?!No matter how Lyra begged for his mercy, Lucas showed absolutely no sign of sympathy for her. To be more precise, there seemed to be no sign of emotion in his eyes at all—not for Lyra, nor for Serenity!While it was true that right now Lucas seemed to be taking Serenity's side, the way he looked at her was nothing but distant and aloof. It was as if no one could t

What Serenity's aunt was saying was nothing more than an attempt to whitewash the crimes and guilt of what her relatives had done to her. Still, no matter what they said to her, it seemed like she did not even hear it at all. She just stared blankly at her grandmother who was lying on the hospital bed.The only person in this world she cared about was her grandmother.Suddenly, she noticed her grandmother's lips moving, almost as if she was mumbling about something in her coma. Serenity leaned down close to her grandmother's lips, and she froze when she realized that her grandmother was mumbling the names of her uncles and aunt.Serenity stood up straight without saying a word and left the room. Her uncles' wives followed her, urging her to promise them that she would withdraw the case."What right do you have to demand me to withdraw the case?" She snapped back coldly. "None of you even thought of me as family back then, so I have no reason to treat you like family now!""You col

Serenity was not even sure if she could meet Jackson if she really went to Valor Group's office building in the afternoon, but there was nowhere else she could go to find him anyway. Thinking of this, she suddenly realized how little she knew of him. She did not even know where he lived!When she finally arrived at Valor Group headquarters, she discovered that not only was there no chance to meet Jackson Valor, but she could not even get inside the building because the security guards had blocked her entrance at the door.She told them that she was there to meet Jackson Valor, but all she got was their sneers and mocking looks."If Mr. Valor would meet everyone who wants to meet him, he'd have no time to do anything else! Do you know how many people like you come here demanding to see him every day?""But at least the others would dress up nicely before asking to meet Mr. Valor. Who would believe that you know Mr. Valor personally when you're wearing shabby clothes like that?"Ser

"But all I ask is for them to be released," Serenity hastily argued. "This is no trouble for you. It can be done after a short phone call from you.""It might be something I can do with a short phone call, but... what, then?"He looked at her with complete nonchalance, which was in stark contrast with her anxiety.Her hands, which had been hanging limply by her side, now clenched tightly. She took a deep breath and braved his gaze before telling him, "What do you want me to do to get them released?"His eyes darkened slightly, and he put down his pen and stood up before slowly walking up to Serenity. He gently took her hand and said, "Your hand is pretty cold, Sis."Her whole body stiffened. Compared to his hands, hers were indeed icy cold. He lowered his head and took both of her hands into his own before gently massaging them, giving them warmth. He did this so effortlessly that it seemed like he had done it countless times before, and his touch was also very gentle and cautio

She got no sleep at all the day before yesterday, and she could not sleep last night either because of what had happened to her grandmother. At that moment, she felt as if her steps were so light that she was merely gliding across the floor. She had been walking for a while when someone bumped into her shoulder. The next moment, she staggered and fell to the ground right away. Fortunately, her clothes had been thick enough to pad her fall, so it didn't hurt much.Just as she was about to struggle her way up onto her feet again, someone swiftly rushed over to her side and helped her up.She turned to that person and realized that it was Peter."How did you...""I parked my car by the side of the road," He explained. "I think I'd better drive you home, after all."Although she had refused his offer earlier, he was still too concerned about her that he had to follow behind her in his car."No, it's fine. I can walk home by myself.""But someone merely brushed past you just now an
