Zachary heard Jasmine shout from the other side of the phone. He also kept calling, “Seren, Seren!” Elisa picked up Serenity’s phone and yelled at Zachary, “Zachary, what did you say to Serenity? What did you say happened to Liberty?” “Elisa, send Serenity back first. Liberty is injured and is being treated at the hospital. Let’s talk about the rest when you’re back.” “How is Liberty doing?” Elisa’s face changed as well. She knew Serenity was only so frightened because something happened to Liberty, but she did not know what exactly happened to Liberty. After hearing what Zachary said, Elisa was feeling nervous and afraid too. The Hunt sisters were her mom’s favorites. If something were to happen to Liberty, who knew how sad Elisa’s mom would be? “I don’t know either. She was stabbed a few times and is still being rescued. We’re already at the hospital. Elisa, send Seren back with Ms. Sox now. Drive safe.” Zachary wished he could fly over to pick up his wife. Howe
When Sonny was snatched, even if Liberty and Hank did not go after him, the men who were secretly protecting them could also save him. They had long set up a trap and were ready to catch the kidnappers. Only, they neglected a mother’s determination to protect her child. Mothers were willing to sacrifice themselves for their children. A mother who saw her child being abducted would definitely run after the child. The men who were protecting Liberty and Sonny thought of that but did not expect Liberty to be able to keep up with the kidnappers. Her physical strength was amazing. She refused to give up no matter what. Even when she was kicked hard and stabbed by the bad guys, she did not let go. Only when she saw the Yorks’ bodyguards did she know it was safe and was willing to let go. In the end, she was seriously injured while Sonny was unharmed. Duncan turned around and punched the wall. Yes, he too had sent people to protect Liberty and her son. Despite that, Libert
Serenity’s words brought Mrs. Stone to tears as well. She thought of herself back then when she and her sister were sent to the orphanage, there were two of them. However, when she finally had news of her sister, she became the only one left. She did not even see her only sister one last time. Zachary hugged Serenity tightly, giving her support and comfort. “Seren, Liberty will be fine. She’ll wake up soon. It’ll be alright. “Don’t worry. We still have to help her take care of Sonny. He’s terrified.” Serenity was so scared that she could not stop crying. Zachary’s reassurance did not work at all but once he mentioned Sonny, her cries became softer. Yes, she still needed to help her sister take care of Sonny. After crying for a while, Serenity adjusted her emotions and took the tissue given to her by Zachary to wipe her tears. She then left his embrace and walked toward Sonny, who had been held by Hank. “Aunt Ser.” Sonny stretched out his hands toward Serenity. Ser
Liberty was in the ICU and did not need to be taken care of by family members, who were only allowed to visit inside for a while every day. Although Serenity could not watch over her sister in the ward, she refused to leave the hospital and insisted on waiting outside for her sister to wake up. Her sister would definitely wake up. Police came to the hospital. Everyone watched as several police officers walked over. “Which one of you is Jessica Yates?” asked the policeman in the lead. Everyone looked at Jessica. Jessica answered with fear, “I am.” After saying something, that policeman immediately let two policewomen go forward to take her away. “Officer.” Hank hurriedly blocked their way. His parents followed behind him. They all looked at the police officers. “Officer, may I ask what crime my wife has committed? Why are you taking her away?” Hank questioned. “We suspect that Jessica Yates is involved in this child abduction, so we need to take her back for th
“Jessica wants to cut off our family line! She wants to get Sonny and Liberty killed! This wicked woman! You b*tch!” Mrs. Brown cursed at the top of her lungs. If this incident was caused by Jessica, then the past accident when their family went to the zoo was not an accident, but a scheming plan by her. How could this woman be so malicious?! She wanted to abduct both of her grandsons. When Serenity heard that Jessica was involved in the incident, she shoved Sonny into Zachary’s arms and wanted to beat Jessica up. “Seren.” Zachary tugged at Serenity and reminded her, “She’ll be punished by law. Don’t do this.” The police had come, so they did not need to be the ones to teach Jessica a lesson. Julian had collected evidence, so Jessica would not be able to get away. She would be jailed for a few years at least. If the men of Mrs. Newman’s godfather were captured, all of them had prior criminal records and would be dealt heavier sentences. That was because they wer
It was Serenity who offended the unknown woman. The woman wanted to take revenge on her, so she found Jessica and forced her to use Sonny. That woman said that even if Sonny was in her possession, as long as he behaved well and did not cry or cause trouble, she would not do anything to him. As long as Serenity went to see her, he would return safely. Sonny would not lose a single hair. How could Jessica know that Liberty would get hurt because of Sonny? Sonny was going to be fine no matter what. Hank stood in place and muttered, “How could it be Jessica? How could it be Jessica…? How could it be?” “Hank!” Mr. Brown shouted fiercely and slapped Hank all of a sudden. The slap was as loud as it could be. Everyone watched, but no one stopped him. “It was you—it was you who brought that spiteful woman into our family. She broke your marriage and caused havoc in our family. Sonny’s custody was given to Liberty, and yet she did such a malicious thing to him. That vicious wom
After a long time, Mrs. Brown approached Serenity. She looked at Sonny, who was being carried by Serenity, and reached out to touch him but retracted her hand halfway. She said to Serenity with guilt, “Serenity, I’m sorry. It’s our family’s misfortune to have taken in a wicked woman and harmed your sister.” Serenity looked coldly at Mrs. Brown. When the police took Jessica away, Serenity did not know what exactly happened but she had her guesses. “My sister divorced Hank and started her new life. Sonny has also been well taken care of by her. Please stay away from her in the future. She has never thought of remarrying Hank. “Jessica is detestable, but so are you guys!” Mrs. Brown lowered her head in shame. Yes, they were equally detestable. Mrs. Brown saw Liberty and Serenity reunite with their rich aunt and learned that Serenity became the Yorks’ missus. She desperately wanted to break up Hank and Jessica, hoping that he could remarry Liberty. As a result, Jessica deve
“Mom,” Clive and Elisa called out to Mrs. Stone. Mr. Stone also disapproved of his wife’s staying. He said, “We can’t do anything by staying in the hospital. Let’s all go back to rest and take care of the things that haven’t been taken care of yet.” “I’m worried!” Mrs. Stone’s voice choked up right after she said that. She was worried about her niece as much as Serenity was worried about her sister. She and Serenity were the same. “Aunt Audrey, go home and rest. I’ll let you know as soon as my sister wakes up.” Serenity helped to persuade Mrs. Stone to go home. Mrs. Stone was gradually getting older, after all. She finally left the hospital after everyone repeatedly persuaded her. In the end, only Zachary, Serenity, and Duncan remained. “Duncan, there are still many things you and Josh need to deal with together. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know once Liberty wakes up.” Zachary knew his good friend was also worried about his sister-in-law. He patted Duncan’s shoulder a
“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
