Married at First Sight Chapter 131
Serenity was unaffected by the traffic congestion as she rode her electric bike.It took more than ten minutes to arrive at York Corporation.She stopped the bike and turned to Elisa and said, “We’re here, Miss.”Elisa returned the helmet to Serenity and thanked her.“It’s just a small favor. No need to thank me.”Elisa looked at her and asked, “May I know what’s your name? You look really familiar for some reason. Have we met before?”“My last name is Hunt. I also quite like you, Miss. Unfortunately, we’ve never met before.”Beautiful women had always left an impression on her, but she had no recollection of this lady.“Your last name is Hunt? Oh, I remember now. There was news about an unfilial granddaughter that went viral before. The granddaughter’s last name was also Hunt, and there was a photo attached as well. I think you look a bit like one of the little girls in the photo. Was that you?”The “unfilial granddaughter” news had left a deep impression on Elisa, and she re

Elisa did not want to owe Serenity a favor, but also because she felt she could hit it off with Serenity. Thus, she gave the latter her business card.Serenity also saw the line of luxury cars and said understandingly, “You should get going, Ms. Stone. I wish you all the best.”“Thank you.”Elisa hugged the bouquet and carried the insulated lunch box. Instead of running toward the luxury cars, she went straight to the building’s entrance and stood in the middle of the gate.Serenity was dumbfounded.Ms. Stone was truly formidable.Zachary was late to arrive at the office. Although he left early today, he had to drop by the villa to get something. After leaving the villa, the car drove for a short while before getting stuck in a traffic jam. Regardless of the car one drove or the people in the car, it was equal in the eyes of a morning rush congestion; nobody could get away with it.The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat happened to be Jim, who had brilliant eyesight. He saw

Elisa blocked the entrance to the building, so the driver had no choice but to stop the car.“Mr. Zachary, shall I go down and pull Ms. Stone away?” The driver turned his head and asked for Zachary’s instruction.After a moment of silence, Zachary wound down the car window.As soon as Elisa saw his window down, she was overjoyed and immediately bounced over, carrying the bouquet of flowers and an insulated lunch box.“Zachary.” She finally met the man she had been longing for. Although she often came here to profess her love, the truth was she had not seen him in person for a long time.She missed him so much!He still had the same cold look, but he was still the most handsome man in her mind.Her gaze trickled down to his tightly pursed lips, and she felt the urge to give him a kiss or two.She wondered how soft his lips would be.Elisa looked at Zachary like he was her prey and that made him frown.“Ms. Stone.”“Zachary, just call me Elisa.”Elisa smiled brightly and stuf

“I ate in the car.”Josh was speechless.“By the way, I saw something interesting earlier. Do you want to hear about it?”Zachary gave him a look and walked ahead. His handsome face remained expressionless, and his lips pursed into a line as he stayed silent.Josh hated that attitude, but he could not stop his chatty mouth from saying, “I arrived early and just so happened saw your missus send Ms. Stone here, so I stopped to figure out what was going on.“Before your car arrived at the company, your missus and Ms. Stone chatted rather amicably. Boss, your wife and admirer seem to like each other and are ready to be good friends. What do you think of it?”Zachary could not be bothered to even look at Josh, so he simply entered the elevator, leaving behind the chatty administrative executive.Josh did not get angry either and chuckled in his heart, ‘This will definitely be the drama-of-the-year.’He really wanted to know what Serenity Hunt would do if his boss’s identity was reve

“Good. It’s best if they all lose their jobs and then get cursed to death by everyone. Let them have a taste of what Internet violence is like. They’re completely inhumane.”Although Elisa was a little unruly, she was still somewhat virtuous.Furthermore, she was very fond of Serenity, so she was willing to avenge Serenity.‘Think of it as returning the favor.‘After all, it’s because she sent me to York Corporation that I was able to see Zachary today. He even talked to me.’“Clive, I’m going home to accompany Mom. You get back to work,” Elisa was done talking and hung up the phone.She did not want to take up more of her brother’s precious time.The old Stone residence was not far from the old York residence, but they were on different routes.If they were on the same route, Elisa would have blocked Zachary’s car on his way home. Well, Zachary rarely went back to the old York residence anyway, so it would be hard for her to block the road even if they were on the same path.

Darrell did not even know if his sister-in-law was dead or alive.“Maybe we’ll run into your sister or her children by chance if we go out on a vacation.”After a moment of silence, Audrey said, “My sister was still so young when we separated. Women go through drastic changes from how they were when they were little. Even if I happen to meet her children, who knows if I’ll be able to recognize them as my niece or nephews?”“Come on, let’s go for a holiday!”Not being able to brush off her daughter’s thoughtfulness, Audrey roused her spirits and agreed to go on a beach vacation with Elisa.Seeing that her mother agreed, Elisa exchanged a glance with her father, then thought of other topics to talk to her mother about. As she chattered, she brought up today’s events.She said happily, “Mom, I saw Zachary today. He stopped the car and even wound down the window to talk to me. Unfortunately, the bouquet I stuffed into his car was thrown out by him.”Audrey was speechless.“I also m

When Serenity got back to her store, she saw Shawn there. She smiled at and greeted him. “Shawn, don’t you have work today?”Shawn looked at her with adoration hidden deep in his eyes and said, “I worked overtime last night, so I can go in a little later today. How come you’re late today?”He asked seemingly casually, but in fact, he wanted to inquire about Serenity’s recent situation with her husband.Jasmine said that Serenity’s husband had helped to suppress the trending search and even accompanied her back to her hometown to collect evidence for the counterattack, so Serenity was grateful to him.Shawn thought, ‘I also want to help Serenity, but she didn’t give me a chance to. I called her that day, but she didn’t answer the phone.’She had only sent him a message saying that she was fine afterward.“There was a pretty lady asking for help on my way here. I was late because I lent her a hand. Oh, that smells good. What are you eating, Jasmine?”Serenity was planning on going

Serenity replied breezily, “Okay, it’s settled then.”Shawn was pleased too.He was looking forward to Saturday arriving.Several cars suddenly stopped in front of the bookstore. Sawnn said, “I’ll go take a look.”He turned around and left.Soon, he returned and said to Serenity, “It’s your relatives.”Serenity had just finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, “Since they’re here, I guess I can’t continue to be scared of them.”She was not surprised that those outrageous people found this place.Thanks to the blessings of a majority of the netizens, her uncles and cousins’ jobs were exposed. They also had good connections, and the incident made the trending news twice, so it was easy for them to find Serenity and her sister.“Serenity.” The Hunt family brothers entered, led by Mike. A total of eight of them came, all dressed in branded goods and holding a set of keys in their hands. They shook their keys from time to time as if the keys were made of gold.

“If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, then there’s nothing we can do,” Adrian said.The Dott brothers pretended to decline the money, but after some back-and-forth, they eventually accepted, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.“I’ll call a car to take you back,” Adrian said, pulling out his phone to arrange transportation for them.Of course, they were not actually leaving Jensburg. They planned to start their operation tonight, aiming to deal with Caroline quickly to avoid any complications.“Thank you, Mr. Clark. You've already done so much for us,” the Dott brothers said, continuing to play their roles. They had come this far in their act and did not mind keeping up the charade a little longer.Soon, a black car really did arrive and stopped nearby. The driver stepped out and approached, respectfully greeting the three Clark brothers.“Take these two gentlemen home. They are Ms. Celine’s biological brothers,

Justin returned to the dining room and packed up all the leftover dishes they had not finished, along with the opened but unfinished bottle of wine. He stuffed everything into several bags and carried them out. Handing the leftovers to Jacob, he said, “If we’re going to keep up appearances, we need to make it look like we’re really giving you our charity, so take these leftovers back with you. You can heat them up for dinner tonight, otherwise, just toss them in the trash after you leave, but don’t throw away the wine—only you two had it. We haven’t touched it.“This wine is really good stuff, too. Where you’re from, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to buy such fine wine. And if you did find any, it’d probably be fake.”Jacob took the leftovers and the unfinished bottle of wine from Justin. The wine was indeed excellent. In fact, he would have asked for it himself even if Justin had not offered it. In all his life, he had never tasted such good wine.“Once you’re re

Adrian beckoned Celine’s brothers closer in a low voice. The two had had some alcohol, and it was going to their heads. Their faces reddened in excitement and they hurried over.Adrian handed the suitcase to Jacob by the handle. He watched as Jacob laid it on the ground and opened it, exposing the thick wads of cash within.The Dott brothers' hands were trembling from excitement, for they had never seen so much cash before. At the thought that the bagful of cash was theirs now, wide smiles broke out across their faces. They each took a bundle and kissed it a couple of times.“I love this the most,” Jacob exclaimed excitedly. “The more, the better, and the more, the merrier.”“Me, too. Jacob, we’ll take ten bundles each. Let’s just keep the cash in this bag for now and when we get home, we’ll secretly divide it. For now, let’s not tell Mom, your wife, or any others.”The more people knew, the more talk there would be, so it was better for as few people as possible to know.Actuall

Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.

Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,

It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett

Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in

“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car

“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
