Semua Bab My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Joy almost passed out due to the shock. How could she ever guess that Jackson Valor would be the one behind her injuries and that he had ordered the attack to help Serenity?!Why would he do such a thing for a woman like that?!After all, his fiancee, Mira Hall, was a renowned beauty! As for Serenity... Well, Joy had to concede to the fact that she used to be beautiful in the past, but after being in prison for three years and now becoming a sanitation worker sweeping the streets all day, she would never even have the time to take care of her appearances, so how pretty could she be?!How could it be possible that Jackson Valor, a man so used to being surrounded by great beauties, would ever be interested in a woman like Serenity?!"That's why you must never harm Serenity ever again," Zeke warned his sister. "Also, don't ever tell anyone about anything I said just now, not even Mom and Dad! Jackson told me that he doesn't want anyone to know about this. In fact, I've probably made a

"But... The clothes you're wearing are..."He seemed to only realize then that he had been wearing the same clothes he was when having dinner with Zack last night. Jack would never have been able to afford any of these clothes.Still, after all that had transpired last night, he no longer planned to hide his true identity anymore, especially considering he had to reveal it to her eventually, anyway. What difference would it make if she found out a little earlier now?Besides, it would be easier for him to keep her under his wing of protection once she learned who he really was."Even if my clothes are different," he smiled at her and asked her, "I'm still the same Jack, aren't I?"By that point, even if Serenity had been a complete idiot, she would still have easily detected something wrong and realized that the truth had not been as she imagined. "You're not homeless?""No," he confessed."Then... Then why did you pretend to be homeless?"She started to feel as if she had be

Jackson hung up the phone as soon as he had finished his sentence.Master Zack stared at the phone screen silently for a while before giving it back to the nurse beside him.Was there really no need for him to worry? It would be great if that was true, but sometimes, being uncertain was often the scariest thing. He was reminded of how his own son had once assured him by saying "Dad, I'll never neglect all my duties to the Valor family just for a woman!".Yet in the end, his son had abandoned the Valor family and even sacrificed his life just for a woman!"Go find out who that woman actually is," he ordered. "I want to know every little detail about her."A voice answered, "Yes, sir."The voice had come from a corner of the room where a man clad in a black suit and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat with a laptop in front of him, his fingers flying over the keyboard.*** Serenity lay on the hospital bed, her mind still in a jumbled mess. Too many things had happened sinc

Just then, she could hear her grandfather's goading voice through the phone saying, "Why haven't you told Serenity to rush over to the police station and tell them to release her uncles and the rest?!""Release them? Why should they be released?! They committed the crimes themselves, so they should be locked away for as long as they deserve!""Have you forgotten that they're your children?! How could you take the side of someone with a different surname?!""What do you mean ‘someone with a different surname’?! She's my granddaughter! Since her mother's gone, it's my job as her grandmother to support her!""Aren't you worried that no one will take care of you when you get old and frail if you act this way? Or are you counting on that granddaughter of yours who's been in prison before to take care of you?!"The old couple continued to argue, almost as if they had forgotten that the call was still ongoing. After a long while, Serenity's grandmother finally remembered that she was sti

Serenity merely watched quietly all throughout the process. There was not a trace of perturbations in her expression even as she looked at the ugly cuts on the palm of her hand.It was only when the nurse was reapplying the bandages on her right hand that she frowned ever so slightly due to the pain although she never made a peep of noise to complain."Let me do it," Jackson told the nurse. "You can leave now."The nurse then left the room very respectfully. Jackson picked up the gauze and very skillfully and effortlessly wrapped it around Serenity's hand. His every move was so gentle and cautious that she almost felt no pain at all.Once he was done, he put down the gauze and said, "Try your best not to use your right hand over the next few days, and don't ever clench your fist like that again. You've bled enough."She looked at the bandages neatly wrapped around her hand and noticed how even the knot was tied beautifully, so she commented, "It looks like you're very good at doin
