After Duncan scared Jessica away, he looked at the closed door and pulled out his phone to call Liberty. It did not take long for Liberty to accept the call. “Why aren’t you open today, Liberty?” Duncan came off a bit harsh. “Seren and I are off to take care of some stuff in our hometown. I’m closed for the day to resolve the ownership issue with our parents’ home today. What’s the matter?” Duncan asked, “Oh. Is it going to be resolved today? Do you need to go to court?” He could give a hand if Liberty wanted to take the Hunt family to court. “We’re settling it out of court. I got to go, Mr. Lewis. Talk soon.” “Sure.” Duncan hung up the call. Why did he not receive any news about Liberty’s home issue being resolved? She did not tell him anything. Come to think of it, why would she tell him? He was not anybody to her. She had no obligation to talk to him about her personal matters. With that in mind, Duncan felt a lot better. Since All You Can Eat was not op

For personal and professional reasons, Duncan could not tell Lily to get out. “I guess you must not have breakfast yet, Duncan.” Lily drew close with a smile and put the food containers on Duncan’s desk. “Mrs. Lewis told me to bring them to you. She said you often sleep late and wake up late, so you don’t have time to eat. Mrs. Lewis told me to bring you breakfast when she found out that I was going to meet you.“I was driving behind you just now. I saw you going to a diner called All You Can Eat. Do you usually have breakfast there?” She should try the food there sometime. Was the food that good? Lily wondered whether Duncan was at the diner for the food or the operator. “Ms. Harmon, my schedule is full for the day, so I don’t have time to discuss a partnership today. I need to get to a meeting in a minute.” “I’ll book a time with the secretary later. We can talk business when you have time. What time is your meeting?” “Nine o’clock.” Lily looked at the time. Ten more

Lily knew Duncan would say that. She uttered with a smile, “Duncan, Mrs. Lewis wants you to go with her. I can’t replace you. I’m only the daughter of Mrs. Lewis’s friend anyway. I’m not family.“I’m not keen on social events either, but we don’t have a choice most of the time. We have to fulfill our obligations.” Duncan had attended plenty of business parties to talk business. Before Lewis & Co. took off, he had to attend business engagements to drum in partnerships. Lewis and Co. was now a well-known company in Wiltspoon. Duncan would only discuss big contracts with other CEOs while the trades on a smaller scale were left to his management team. He started to attend fewer of these gatherings unless his two best friends were going. With company around, Duncan would turn up briefly. However, more often than not, Zachary would not show up. Hence, it fueled Duncan’s lack of presence at social events. “Who is the organizer? Where’s the party?” Duncan asked. Lily replied,

Instead of going out, Mrs. Lewis stayed at home and waited for Lily’s return. She wanted to know if Duncan ate the breakfast Lily delivered. Picking up on the sound of an approaching vehicle, Mrs. Lewis walked out of the house. “Mrs. Lewis.” Lily got out of the car and approached Mrs. Lewis with empty food containers. Judging by the smile on Lily’s smile, Mrs. Lewis could tell that her son ate Lily’s homemade breakfast. The pair strolled back into the house in talk and laughter. Handing the food containers to the maid, Lily helped Mrs. Lewis to sit on the sofa. “Why didn’t you stay longer at Duncan’s office?” “Duncan has a meeting coming up. I didn’t want to take up too much of his time. Mrs. Lewis, I told Duncan that you told me to deliver the breakfast, and he ate it all up. He even asked me if you had a new chef. He thought well of my cooking.” Mrs. Lewis was all smiles as if Lily was about to become her daughter-in-law. “You should deliver Duncan packed breakfas

Lily carried on talking. “You told me about this. Serenity and Liberty are sisters. Serenity lost her parents at the age of ten, and it was her sister who raised her. Her sister taught her everything she knew. Serenity’s character is the reflection of Liberty’s. “I believe Liberty isn’t that kind of woman. Maybe she’ll become my rival in love, but it won’t be her intention. The problem lies with Duncan.” Lily was not a sheltered princess. She held a high position at Harmon Corporation and was well-traveled. Her perspective of the world was likely broader than Mrs. Lewis’s. “But now that I know about this, it should be enough warning to keep me on my toes.” Lily was lost in her thoughts. She should pull Duncan to her corner before sparks started to ignite between Duncan and Liberty. That way, Duncan would be hers. If… She were to lose to Liberty… Lily stopped her thoughts from wandering further. She refused to imagine a potential loss. She was way superior to Liberty in

Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt needed to be there for the ownership transfer formalities too. Once the procedure was done, and Liberty’s name was on the title deed, Liberty and Serenity then paid the old folks for their share of the property. Serenity wanted to leave her part of the inheritance to Liberty as Liberty was the eldest daughter. Serenity had taken into consideration that her sister had it rougher in life. However, Serenity had not told her sister about it. Now all that was done and out of the way, the mayor said to the sisters, “Liberty, Serenity, are you renting your farmland out? We have someone who wants to contract our fields. I had a meeting with the rest of the townspeople. Everybody is on board. “You’ll get the rent from the contracted fields, and the money will depend on the square footage of your land. The rate per acre will be the same across all. You can leave your number with me if you’re interested. I’ll transfer you the money when we sign the contract and rec

“Alright, that’s decided then. I enjoy seeing you drunk. You’ll be all over me!” Zachary kept his voice down at the end. Serenity was lost for words. The callous man had changed a lot. He could be such a flirt over the phone. “Are things going well? Did they kick up a fuss?” The extremes Old Mrs. Hunt would go to had not been forgotten. Zachary was worried Old Mrs. Hunt would cause a scene. Still, there was no cause for concern as Zachary assigned bodyguards to protect Serenity, She brought lawyers, and she could fight. “It’s going well. My granddad must have told my grandmom what his sons and grandson said. My grandmom did not act up this time. She was cooperative. I got my maternal grandparents to come. They said they didn’t want my mom’s share and wanted us to have it.”“Okay.”Zachary had not met the Howdens.The Howdens were cruel for what they did back then. Nevertheless, that fact could be overlooked since they raised Lisa. “My maternal grandparents apologiz

“Liberty, I’ll go to Zachary’s office and wait for him to get off work.” Behind the wheel, Serenity told her sister and turned to ask her nephew, “Do you want to come with me to pick your uncle up, Sonny?” Before Sonny could answer, Liberty replied, “Zachary will think of him as a third wheel if you take him.” Sonny’s mind immediately flew to his Uncle Zack’s comment about him. Shaking his head, Sonny responded, “I don’t want to be a third wheel, Aunt Ser. I’m Sonny.” “Of course. Sonny is Sonny. Sonny is not a third wheel. Don’t take your uncle’s words to heart.” Liberty jumped in with a smile, “Just drop us at our rental place. I’m taking him to shop for ingredients for tomorrow.” “Alright then.” Serenity did not insist. She drove her sister and nephew back to their rental apartment and watched them take the elevator upstairs before driving away. Once at York Corporation, she ran into Camryn. Camryn came alone to York Corporation. Supported by her white cane, Camry

Austin said, “He’s definitely here to discuss a potential partnership with your company.“He's just the acting head of the Longbottoms. He doesn’t truly control the family. If the real head returns, everything he’s worked for will go to someone else.“The downfall of Belinda Fisher probably gave him a wake-up call and he doesn’t want to end up like that.“He’s definitely seeking to cooperate with you regarding his personal business. He’s just using the Longbottoms’ name, since their influence in Windermere is enormous.”In terms of wealth, the O'Connors and the Longbottoms were on equal footing, but the O'Connors had fewer members and did not have the same level of influence in Windermere as the Longbottoms.Isabella said, “He’s very ambitious. A partnership would only just be the beginning. Once it’s established, he’ll start thinking about how to cheat us and steal our business.“Plus, he’s very lecherous.

Tony was aware that whenever his wife had to play the villain, it was always to protect him. He said, “You're right, I misspoke. Your mother isn’t that kind of person.”“Manny, I’ll be leaving soon. You stay here, and I’ll leave half of my men with you. If anything comes up that you can't handle, contact me. I’ll be waiting to hear good news from you.” Tony decided to fly to Wiltspoon in the afternoon. He would only stay for two or three days before returning to Havenmill to handle business.However, as he thought about how he was working like a horse for Longbottom Corporation when many of the benefits did not even belong to him personally, Tony felt a bit disgruntled.“Got it.” Manny did not reject his father’s arrangement.As the Longbottom father and son were discussing how to deal with the O’Connors, Austin entered Isabella’s office.Isabella was busy, so Austin did not disturb her. He quietly sat at the tea table and made some tea.“It seems you’ve learned the art of tea-

Manny had never been to Wiltspoon, but he knew from his father that several prominent families in Wiltspoon had close ties with the Johnsons from Annenburg. It was possible that the child adopted by the Johnsons’ young missus was Laurence. Unfortunately, he could not meet that child, so he could not be a hundred percent certain. The child was currently out of sight and well-protected, hidden so effectively that even the Longbottoms’ information network could not find anything. The other prominent families in Wiltspoon were also helping to keep the child hidden, so Manny deeply disliked the people from these families. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they were still an obstacle to him and his father in their pursuit of becoming the true head of the family.“That's right. If we can conquer the O’Connors, we’ll have a backup plan,” his father said. “You must put your all into it, son. If you need help, just let me know, though this is also an opportunity for you to ge

Tony Longbottom was the only person who would put on such a parade. The big shots in Satbury usually had entourages of their own, but none would put on a spectacle as big as Tony would.As they departed in their car, Tony’s gracious demeanor utterly shattered.His face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression as he said, “I’ve never been treated like this before, even when the legitimate branch of the family still lived, and those two ignorant little girls actually refused to see me multiple times.”Manny was very angry too and he said, “Pops, since they refuse to go about this the easy way, we’ll have to show them the hard way. We can approach it from other angles, and once they’re completely out of business and they have nowhere else to turn to, they’ll be at our mercy.“Won’t they have to do as we please then? I want to marry them, they’ll have to marry me, and if I don’t, I’ll just make them my mistresses. Don’t the O’Connors have plenty of daughters? I’ll fuck every one of them

“Isabella O’Connor is so outstanding, so why are you asking me to go for Tati O’Connor instead?” Manny said under his breath in puzzlement.He had seen photos of the two ladies and Isabella’s appearance was more striking. She had a cold and aloof aura that easily triggered his desire to conquer her, and after just a few glances, he was captivated.If it were up to him, Manny would choose Isabella.Tony looked at his son, smiled, and said, “You can’t control her. Of course, if you manage to make her fall for you, we can talk about switching. But for now, focus on Tati O’Connor.”Tati was also beautiful. However, she did not have Isabella’s cold demeanor. She seemed much gentler, like she smiled often.“Marrying Tati O’Connor would be a big advantage for both you and our family.”Manny thought for a moment and then nodded in understanding. “Got it, Dad.”Manny’s good looks, wealth, honeyed tongue, and generosity toward girls made him good at winning them over. Pursuing a rich youn

After testing the O’Connor sisters and realizing they were not like other women, Mr. Longbottom thought of having his son marry Tati.He knew that his son would not be able to handle or control Isabella, so he set his sights on Tati. Tati probably did not realize she was considered an easy target. Most people underestimated her because she had always kept a low profile.At that moment, a young man got out from the other side of the Rolls-Royce. He resembled Mr. Longbottom. Indeed, he was Mr. Longbotton’s eldest son, Manny.“Dad.”Manny went to his father’s side and glanced at the building before him. He asked, “Aren’t we driving inside?”In Havenmill, Manny could do whatever he wished because his father was the interim head of the Longbottom family. While he had no respect for ordinary people at all, he was clever enough not to offend people he should not.He never parked his car outside the places he wanted to go and simply drove his car through the gates. However, Manny

Meanwhile in Satbury, a few luxury cars stopped at the entrance of Costa Corporation. The door of the first car, a Rolls-Royce, opened. A bodyguard came out of the car.He waited for his boss, who was sitting in the backseat to exit.Mr. Longbottom got out of the car. Although he was over fifty years old, he looked like he was in his forties as he maintained his appearance well.He wore a white tailored suit with a tie, which made him look more youthful.The bodyguards in the other cars alighted as well.They quickly stood behind Mr. Longbottom to protect him. It was also his display of power.A few bodyguards grabbed many gift boxes from the trunks. Mr. Longbottom stood in front of the company and raised his head to look at the sixty-eight-storey office building. It was a symbol of the O’Connor family’s abilities.Costa Corporation was not the family’s only business. They were involved in many industries and were successful in all of them.The O’Connors were wealthy and powe

Many of the store owners were not locals and they had many stories to tell. Someone said there was an evil mother-in-law in a rural area who looked down on her daughter-in-law.

“Sonny’s fine. He has recovered. You want to get Sonny from school?”After thinking about it, Serenity agreed and said, “Okay. I’ll message Sonny’s teacher later to tell her you’ll be taking him.”“Okay, Serenity. Thank you.”Hank was thankful that Serenity did not make things difficult for him. Serenity and Liberty had great character. Liberty had a new relationship and already let go of her resentment for Hank. She could coexist with him peacefully. On the other hand, Serenity still held grudges against Hank. However, since he and Liberty had divorced, he could no longer hurt her. He was also Sonny’s father. Serenity was willing to tolerate him for Sonny’s sake. Therefore, she always said yes whenever Hank requested to meet his son. “You’ll be taking Sonny out to eat after picking him up, right? Remember not to let him eat too much fried food, especially fried chicken and fries. He’ll get a sore throat.“He got a fever that day due to a throat inflammation.”“Got it. I’ll
