All Chapters of My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

He stared deep into her eyes. "Does it matter if I believe you or not?"She was stunned, and then she smiled to herself. Yeah, whether he believed her or not had nothing to do with her. Why was she so nervous when he looked at her just now?"I'm going back to my room," said Serenity. She tried to walk past Jackson to get to the stairs.But she only managed to take two steps before he grabbed her arm. The next moment, she was pulled into his embrace."I believe that you're innocent." He bent down and said next to her ear, "But do you really think you can find out anything investigating on your own like this? Three years have already passed. Have you ever thought that maybe the truth you wanted to uncover never existed in the first place?"Serenity's bright almond-shaped eyes looked back at Jackson. She smiled gently and said, "Rich and powerful people like you think that I can't possibly overturn the case with my own power, but a common folk like me still believes that one day, I c

"Tell me more about your sister," Lucas said softly."Huh? You want me to speak... like this?" Aria asked hesitantly."Yes, like this," replied Lucas.Aria could only keep talking about Serenity while she silently cursed Serenity out.Serenity was just a sanitation worker! She's also an ex-convict! Even if she was pretty before, after three years in prison, there was no way her beauty could compare to Aria who took very good care of herself.What exactly did Lucas Gomez see in her?!Aria even had a weird suspicion that the reason why Lucas hadn't broken up with her yet was because she was Serenity's sister.Of course, the suspicion only surfaced in her mind for a fleeting moment before she suppressed it."After that... after that, my sister met Zeke Shaw. Zeke Shaw courted her for a long time. One time, my sister twisted her foot while hiking. Zeke Shaw carried my sister all the way down the mountain. My sister agreed to date him after that. They were a loving couple back then.

If she kept working in the sanitation office, she would inevitably be given preferential treatment, and the other employees would surely look askance at her."No, I want a change in environment," said Serenity."Is that so?" The director thought that the person behind Serenity must have offered her a decent job, so he approved Serenity's resignation without much hassle. He did not deduct any of her salary for the time off she took and even paid her an extra month's worth of salary. He told the financial department to process the payment immediately.After leaving the sanitation office, Serenity took a deep breath. The extra month of salary was the director's way of showing goodwill, but to be frank, he did it because of Jackson Valor.If she had a backbone, she should have said no to the extra money.But she could not.Her grandmother was still in the hospital. The money she borrowed from Lisa would not last long. There might even be additional medical expenses in the future. Her

Serenity blushed involuntarily. She tried to look away.But he stopped her by holding her jaw. "You were staring at me intently. Is it because I'm good-looking?"She was at a loss for words. What was she supposed to say? That he's good-looking? That he's not good-looking?Neither answer sounded right! Serenity felt her face become hotter. She wanted to avoid his eyes, but it was impossible.The maid who was standing nearby tactfully lowered her head. Although she was not looking at them, she could hear their conversation, and that was enough to shock her.Mr. Valor really was treating Miss Lewis differently from how he treated other women. Could the rumors be true? Would Miss Lewis really become the mistress of the Valor family?But... wasn't she a sanitation worker?Would Mr. Valor really... marry a woman like her?That night, Serenity lay in bed, unable to sleep. Through the moonlight that slipped through the window, she inspected her bandaged fingers. Jackson had been chang

The night air in the large room felt so cold that it made her shiver!As soon as Aria reached home, she heard the news that her mother had been fired from her job and her father had been demoted from a supervisor to ordinary staff!"How did this happen?!" Aria was surprised because both her parents were civil servants. In those jobs, as long as you didn't make any mistakes, you usually wouldn't even be demoted, let alone get fired.Moreover, she was Lucas Gomez's girlfriend! Even if her parents' bosses had to fire or demote them, they would think twice before doing so!"Did you tell your bosses that I'm Lucas Gomez's girlfriend?" asked Aria."We did! Of course we did!" Catherine was furious. She told her boss that her daughter was the prince of the entertainment industry’s girlfriend and would marry into the Gomez family one day.But her boss did not want to hear it. He said, "I don't care who your daughter's boyfriend is. You're dismissed. It's non-negotiable!"She was so angr
