Married at First Sight Chapter 102
The despair, anger, sadness, and helplessness did not go amiss between the lines. Tears filled Serenity’s eyes as she flipped through her sister’s diary while accounts of the past flooded her mind.[Dad’s side of the family and Mom’s side of the family were ripping each other apart over the insurance money. All of them were trying to get a bigger cut. No one cared about Serenity and me. No one talked about adopting us and taking care of us. Mom and Dad were dead, but all they could think about was money. What about our feelings? Is this what they call a family?Mom, Dad, come back to us. Do you know what your daughters are going through now? How could you leave me and Serenity behind? It was raining. Was God feeling sorry because my sister and I lost our parents? We didn’t have a mom and dad anymore. I cried for Mom and Dad, but they could no longer hear me. I looked at Serenity’s clueless face and cried. She cried too.Serenity had been asking me when Mom and Dad were coming ho

Serenity put her sister’s diary pages on Twitter in response to the viral tweet about ungrateful granddaughters. Apart from Liberty’s diary, Serenity also put forth evidence from her hometown to prove her grandparents had been living a nice life upon pocketing several hundred thousand dollars. Their children were also among the richest in town. It struck Zachary that his dashcam would have recorded Old Mr. Hunt’s cocky voice when he called Serenity while Zachary and Serenity were on the way to Liberty’s place for dinner. Zachary went to check on it and confirmed another crucial piece of evidence caught on tape. Serenity then uploaded the recording of her conversation with Granddad onto the internet. She left the netizens to fume and raise hell as it was no longer her concern. Zachary did not give the file on the Hunts to Serenity to publish online. Instead, he left it in Josh’s hands to expose the occupations and incomes of the family’s sons and grandsons, under the identit

Instead of retreating to her room, Serenity went to the balcony and sat on the swing as she stared at the flowers and stars in the night. Having pulled herself together, Serenity got up and went to her room. It was a quiet and peaceful night for the young couple. Meanwhile, at the hospital, the Hunts were caught in a media hell storm. The media circus which they had dragged Liberty and Serenity into did not impact greatly on the sisters. However, Serenity’s response to their tweet not only contained Liberty’s account of the truth back then, but also the recording of the townspeople’s narration. Even the town council backed up Serenity’s claims. The Hunts’ jobs, income, and residences were uncovered by resourceful netizens. They lived in villas and had decent employment with annual incomes ranging from hundreds of thousands to over a million. The younger family members were not the only ones loaded as Old Mr. and Old Mrs. Hunt had savings up to hundreds of thousands as well.

John’s father, Chris Hunt, said to Mike, “John’s job is priority. If he loses his job over this…” Chris stopped short of finishing the sentence, but by the look on his face, Chris was putting the blame on Mike. It was Mike’s idea to turn the media against Liberty and Serenity. “Uncle Chris, John has been working at the same company for years. His boss won’t fire him over something so trivial. I’ll clarify that John has nothing to do with the whole thing.” Mike ran a home business, so whatever was going online had no adverse effect on his business. Feeling assured, Chris phoned John and told him to explain his innocence in all of this before potentially losing his job. “The girls are too much,” one uncle reproached. “Fine if they didn’t want to pay. Why did the girls have to ruin us like this?” Although the Hunts’ tweet about the ungrateful granddaughters went viral, the post did not spread as far and wide as they liked. Serenity’s response, however, received a lot of atte

Old Mrs. Hunt was well-known in town for her temper. She was assertive and never yielded to anyone. She insisted that her sons and grandsons were not in the wrong. God knew how long the old lady could keep up with that pride. Without any idea how her relatives spent the night, Serenity had a good night’s sleep. As morning light rolled around, she dreamed about her parents. She cried out to her mom and dad while trying to reach them but only caught air. By the time she woke up, tears had drenched her pillow. Serenity stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before sitting up. She pulled out tissues to wipe away traces of tears on her cheeks as she mumbled under her breath, “Mom, Dad, did you know that your daughters were bullied? Don’t worry. Liberty and I aren’t the same kids from fifteen years ago. They can’t push us around anymore.” She picked up her phone for a look. Serenity muted her phone before she went to bed last night. There were multiple missed calls and u

Tensing his facial muscles, Zachary gave Serenity a warning look. “Mr. York.” Serenity asked him, “Can I kiss you?” Zachary was stumped. Had she no shame? She went as far as to ask a man this kind of question. “Your smile is gorgeous. It took my breath away. I just want to hold you and have my way with you.” “Serenity, you sure have the cheek.” “My cheeks are right here.” Serenity smacked her face with a smile as Zachary winced. “I only said that because we’re married. I mean, we’re married in the eyes of the law, so it’s not a crime to kiss you.” With Zachary pulling back a few steps, Serenity burst out laughing at his flight instincts. Zachary flew off the handle. Well, she was to be blamed for his reaction. The last time she even touched his face out of nowhere. As her roars of laughter tipped him over the edge, Zachary closed in suddenly and grabbed the chuckling girl to pull her into his arms. Zachary dipped his head forward and sealed her lips, swallowin

“You don’t have to transfer the money for the car.” Zachary changed the subject back to the recent car purchase. As Serenity did not have Zachary’s bank account details, she had been sending fifty thousand dollars to his mobile device every day. However, Zachary had not once accepted the transaction. The first transaction of fifty thousand dollars had made its way back to Serenity’s bank account. “I got you a car to uphold my public image. I might be busy with work, but there are occasions I’d need to bring you to business dinners too. It’d be humiliating for me if people were to find out that my wife rides an e-bike that could break down at any time.” Zachary saw the car as keeping up appearances. “I thought it was an apology gift,” Serenity retorted. Zachary replied after a pause, “It works both ways.” “Well, don’t give me any more living allowances for the year since you already got me a car.” Zachary lifted his chin and stared at her without saying yes or no.

Zachary stood at the door to the balcony and watched Serenity quietly for a minute before turning on his heel to leave for work. All this happened without Serenity knowing. Carrying his wife’s packed lunch for him, Zachary was on his way to work. Before leaving, he said to Serenity, “I’m off to work.” “Drive safe,” Serenity replied kindly. Zachary closed the door and carried two containers of food down the stairs. His bodyguard squad was waiting for him there. They were either caught standing, perching, or sitting in the greenery. Having caught sight of Zachary descending with food containers in hand, the bodyguards got on their feet and stared at him. No one drew close to Zachary. Zachary was speechless. What? Did they not recognize him because he was carrying containers of food? “Sir.” Thinking on his feet, Jim took quick paces over and attentively took the packed food from Zachary. Without a word, Jim headed straight to the Rolls Royce. Soon, the Rolls Royce

Tati had made it clear that she did not love Austin, and purely admired him. Why was Isabella looking at her like that? Austin’s fiancée would never be her. If it were, Austin would have treated her differently. So who on earth was Austin’s fiancee?Why would Old Mrs. York choose someone from Windermere for him?Austin came to be a chef before pursuing his future wife. Which city in Windermere was his fiancée from? Was it Satbury?If it were Satbury, which elite daughter could it be?There were many elite daughters in Satbury, but not many were superior to the O’Connor daughters. Tati recalled Austin’s special treatment toward Isabella. A thought crossed her mind, ‘Is Isabella the lady Old Mrs. York has chosen for Austin?’“Tati, I want to discuss something work-related with you.”Isabella thought Tati remained silent because of Austin’s news. Therefore, she used work as an excuse and brought Tati to the study on the second floor. After closing the door, Isabella poured

Louis and Phillip were not the only ones worried. Even Delphine and the rest were anxious too. While they did think it was inappropriate for someone of Austin’s status to be their chef, the food he made was truly delicious. They had already gotten used to his cooking. If he were to leave, they would have to adjust their tastes to another chef’s cooking. Tati had even more concerns. Isabella admired capable people. Austin was highly skilled in cooking and had a head for business too. Moreover, he was a young master of a wealthy family. That made him more suitable for Isabella. Would Isabella be attracted?Isabella probably could feel how differently he treated her, right?“Did you chase Austin away, Isa? Why didn’t he come back with you?”Louis continued asking questions. He was worried that Isabella might have fired Austin. Not only could Austin make delicious food, but he would also play with the boys. Louis and Phillip really liked Austin. They thought he was fun,

Austin knew her question was related to Tati.He was aware of Tati’s admiration for him.Nevertheless, he recognized Tati’s feelings as pure admiration. On the contrary, Tati must have noticed that he treated Isabella differently. She probably told Isabella about it in private, but Isabella simply did not have plans for marriage due to her heavy responsibilities. Austin said with certainty, “No. Although I haven’t succeeded in pursuing her, I’ve set my heart on her. She’s my fiancée, and she’ll become my wife in the future. The York family doesn’t allow divorce unless our wives cheat on us. However, that definitely won’t happen.“Every woman Nana chose has a good character and values.“I’ll be loyal to my marriage and family. I’ll only love my only wife for my entire life. How outstanding other women are is none of my business.”Austin did not want to be like Dylan. He would rather spend more time inventing recipes. Isabella said with a hint of regret, “Okay.”She had to te

Isabella could not find anyone who suited her tastes in Satbury. She knew the city was filled with talented young men, but none made her heart race. Their goal was usually the O’Connor family business. The men knew Louis was young and that Isabella was the head of the family. If they could win her heart, it would be equivalent to conquering the O’Connor family. From there, they could gradually swallow the family whole. Isabella dared not date anyone. She was scared of falling into someone’s trap. She would not let her feelings show, even if she had a crush on someone.“Many people are aiming for my family’s status and wealth. I dare not date or get married for fear that I’d destroy the family once and for all. Those people will go to great lengths for money and power.”Isabella was even wary of young masters of wealthy families, let alone ambitious men from inferior backgrounds. “I know Nana is doing this for us. She had chosen our wives. Our parents didn’t need to worry

Isabella knew it would not be that quick. By the time Louis could take over, which would be twenty years later, she would already be close to fifty years old. If she got married and had children within the next two years, her children could inherit her businesses a few years after Louis took over the family business. That way, she could finally retire for good. “Austin, you’re aware that I sent someone to Wiltspoon to investigate your background, right? There was no information about you being a young master of the Yorks. Was it because you didn’t want me to know about it?”“No.”Austin said honestly, “I wasn’t aware. Zachary was the one who told me that you investigated me twice. You couldn’t find the connection between me and York Corporation because Zachary covered it up for me.“He knew that I was here to cook and improve my skills. If you knew I was a young master of the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon, you might not have hired me as your private chef. If so, I wouldn’t be

Isabella smiled and said, “If the person taking over the family business doesn’t have true ability, they won’t be able to bear the responsibility. In this way, they can still prove themselves. Of course, starting a business from scratch and inheriting from a generation or two back is different.“For those who are supported by their family, no matter how many achievements they have, others will say they relied on their family’s support. If they fail, people will call them useless and a waste, and that family wealth will never last more than three generations. They’ll just wait for your family to go bankrupt.“So, without real ability, no one can take over the family business.”Austin was silent for a moment before responding, “What you say is true. My eldest brother, for example, is very capable. Although we could all take on the responsibility, none of us is as steady as he is. He’s the real anchor of our family. With him around, we don’t have to worry even if the sky falls.“Becau

Oh, right. Ruth mentioned that the York family elders were very open-minded.Open-minded elders and a good family culture were what cultivated outstanding children. It was little wonder that Austin was exceptional and bore such an impressive demeanor. It turned out that he was from a prestigious family.“Isa, what's wrong with Austin? Can we start eating now?”Louis and Phillip were completely confused. All they knew was Austin was not from a simple family, and that he was very capable. Even Ruth had shaken hands with him.The two boys were too young to understand anything besides that. They were just hungry and wanted to eat. It was cold, and the barbecue was very comforting to eat hot off the grill.Isabella smiled and said, “All you two think about is eating. Well, the meat and vegetables are all cooked, so we can start eating now.”As she spoke, she grabbed some meat, shrimp, and vegetables for her baby brothers. Then, she began eating, and everyone followed suit.Ruth too

After Austin left, Isabella asked her friend, "Ruth, do you know the Wiltspoon Yorks? Is Austin really one of them?"“You’ve never been to Wiltspoon, Isabella, and it's so far away. Plus your family doesn't have business there, so it's normal you don't know much about them. I was there for half a month for a trip, and my in-laws have business there.“Last time, when I went on a business trip with my husband, we heard a lot of gossip and rumors related to the York family.“In Wiltspoon, there are several prominent families, but the wealthiest and most powerful is the York family. York Corporation holds the same status in the business world of Wiltspoon as your family does here.”Ruth was introducing the York family to everyone, giving them a preliminary understanding of the family. After that explanation, Ruth added, “The York family has a great family culture to boot. The men in their family are all very loyal. Once they marry, they will remain loyal to their wife and family for

“Your family? As in, Wiltspoon’s York Corporation? Is that your family’s company?” Ruth asked in shock. She looked at Austin, disbelief written all over her face. The members of the O'Connor family were all watching the two of them.“Yeah, that’s my family's company. Our ancestors were good enough to build a strong foundation my elder brother now manages.”“Where do you fall in the order of your siblings and cousins?” Ruth had once traveled to Wiltspoon with her husband for a business trip and had spent half a month there, so she knew a bit about the most prominent family in Wiltspoon. She had also been deeply impressed by the good values the Yorks had. She had heard that the York sons were all exceptional, talented individuals, and indeed, Austin was exceptionally handsome—so much so that it could even incur a god’s jealousy. But how did a young master of the York family end up working as a chef for the O'Connor family?Though York Corporation was based in Wiltspoon, its fina
