Chapter 1438

Author: Gu Lingfei
Lily held her cup and took a sip of coffee elegantly. After that, she smiled at Duncan and said, “You’re such an honest person. Your words do hurt my pride.

“Can you tell me why you fell in love with Liberty? She’s divorced and has a three-year-old son. She isn’t even on equal social status as you. I just wish to know how I lost so I can overcome my shortcomings…”

“To be honest, I have no idea either. I didn’t even know I had romantic feelings for Liberty. I only realized I had unconsciously developed those feelings after the panic, fear, and heartache I felt after she got hurt.

“I don’t care that she’s divorced. I don’t mind that she has a son too. I like Sonny. As for social status… I don’t care about it. However, I won’t confess for now to not make her feel pressured. I’m willing to wait for her for two to three years and confess to her after her career takes off.”

Duncan thought he would have higher chances of succeeding if he confessed to Liberty after her business flourished.

    Duncan stared at Lily in silence. After some time, he said calmly, “This is your decision, Ms. Harmon. You can do as you wish, but I won’t reciprocate or accept your feelings just because of this.”He knew that Lily’s feelings for him had not extended to one of love. Therefore, she could remain alert and rational when facing his reply. She even accepted the fact that she lost to Liberty calmly. However, he still made things clear beforehand. No matter what Lily did, Duncan would never accept her. He did not have a big heart. It was only enough for one person. The woman who entered his heart first would be kept there forever. Duncan would feel happy if he could marry the person he loved. If he could not marry her, he would not forget her and store his feelings for her in the depths of his heart. Lily smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Duncan. I won’t expect you to repay me or accept my feelings for this. We’re all adults. We have to face the consequences of all the decisions we

    ‘How did Serenity conquer such a cold, arrogant man?’ Chelsea criticized inwardly. She would not be able to bear spending time with a man like that. He was too cold!She did not dare look at Zachary anymore. Instead, she smiled and said to Serenity, “Serenity, can I have a few words with you in private?”Serenity asked Chelsea, “What is it that you can’t say right now?”Chelsea took a quick glance at Zachary, then Serenity. Indeed, Serenity was more pleasing to the eye. Chelsea used to treat Serenity meanly and instigate her brother to quarrel with Liberty. It was an indirect way of forcing Serenity to move out. Firstly, it was because she wanted to make space for her children. She had planned to send her children to the middle school in the city. Secondly, Chelsea was jealous of Serenity’s youth and beauty. Liberty was beautiful before she married too. However, she did not bother maintaining it and bloated up like a ball. Her beauty before her marriage was gone. Serenity was

    Chelsea did not know what was good about Jessica that bewitched her brother. His son almost got into an accident because of Jessica. His ex-wife was injured too. However, he was still partial to Jessica. Chelsea was greatly dissatisfied with her brother. She felt guilty too.It would have been nice if her brother and Liberty were not divorced. Chelsea made mistakes in the past and was trying to correct them for her brother and Liberty to remarry. “Just be straightforward, Chelsea. There’s no need to beat around the bush. I don’t like talking to people who go in circles, wanting me to guess their thoughts.”Serenity could more or less guess Chelsea’s intentions from her expression. The Browns simply wanted Hank and her sister to remarry. It was ridiculous. What did they take her sister for to be at their beck and call?The Browns would never have regretted it if Hank had not been in a dire situation.“Serenity, I like your frankness. I’ll be honest. Is Mr. Lewis pursui

    “Hank’s still thinking of begging for mercy for Jessica’s sake, and his heart is on Jessica. He might’ve felt regret, but he would never mourn divorcing my sister. My sister doesn’t regret divorcing him too. Chelsea, I advise you not to look for my sister or me for this matter anymore.”After speaking, Serenity did not give Chelsea a chance to talk and left her behind. She walked toward Zachary, who was waiting for her at the door of the ward, without turning her head back. Zachary could not hear their conversation. When he saw his beloved wife’s dark expression, he knew that the chat did not go well. “Seren, should we make her leave?”“Not this time,” Serenity replied. Then, she told the bodyguards, “If the Browns come again in the future, chase them away. Don’t let them see my sister or Sonny before my sister recovers.”After recovering, Liberty would continue running All You Can Eat and be back in business. She would not be able to keep the Browns out. That family was shamele

    Upon exiting the inpatient department and getting into Zachary’s car, Serenity took her phone and removed her granddad’s number from her list of blocked contacts. Next, she called him. She rarely got in touch with her extended family ever since she solved the problem of her old house. After experiencing Serenity’s ferocity first-hand, her extended family, who had always been aiming to gain benefits through her, ceased to take advantage of her anymore. They had numbers, but all the people around Serenity were wealthy and powerful—they stood no chance. Additionally, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were hurt by their children’s and grandchildren’s attitudes toward their elderly care. They suddenly did not want to make a fuss anymore. In the past, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt treated Serenity and Liberty heartlessly. They took so much of the sisters’ compensation and used it all to support their other children. It was so that their children would have money to start a family. Every family ended u

    Serenity’s words pleased Old Mr. Hunt because she was willing to come to them for help when she had a problem. “My sister got into an accident and was injured.”“What accident? How’s her injury? How did she get hurt? Did it happen a week ago? Mike and John had asked whether you contacted me during those few days. They refused to say anything when I asked them what they wanted.”Old Mr. Hunt never paid attention to the internet, so he did not know Liberty was injured. The younger generation in the family knew, but no one told Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt. People of the town did not talk about it either. They thought things were awkward between the Hunt sisters and their grandparents. If Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were to know that Liberty was hurt, they probably would be delighted. Therefore, no one in the town informed him. “It happened a week ago. Liberty is recovering well, but her previous in-laws keep pestering her. They want her to remarry her ex-husband. However, my sister was hurt

    After ending the call with her granddad, Serenity held the phone in her hand and said to Zachary, “I got external help to go against the Browns and return my sister peace according to your suggestion, but I don’t know how things will turn out.”“We’ll find out after some time. I think the effect will be great.”Zachary was confident in his idea. “Seren, you don’t have to be so worried. We should think now about what dress and jewelry you’ll wear tonight.”Serenity glanced at him. “You sound like you want to steal everyone’s attention away from Mr. Bucham.”Zachary said smugly, “I don’t even have to steal. I’m in the limelight in every venue I appear in, and I make Josh pale in comparison.”Serenity was speechless. He was confident that he could beat Josh, but she had no intentions of taking the spotlight away from her best friend. She smiled and said, “My dresses are the ones you or Aunt Audrey bought. I’ve only worn the dresses I purchased several times. Will I have the cha

    Serenity had not been able to sleep well for several consecutive days after Liberty mentioned that to her. Every time she woke up with a start at midnight, she would surreptitiously grope her way to Liberty’s bed. She would stretch out her hand to check Liberty’s breathing. Not until she confirmed that Liberty was still alive would she feel at ease.Having lost both her parents at a young age, Serenity experienced the pain of losing her loved ones. Therefore, she feared losing her only sister.“Let’s go. I’m taking you upstairs to get changed.”The Yorks and the Buchams were on friendly terms. Now that Josh got engaged, Tania would certainly do the Buchams the honor of attending Josh’s engagement party. What was more, Tania’s relatives and the Buchams had close relationships. Tania’s relatives would also make an appearance tonight.Serenity rose to her feet gently and walked upstairs with Tania.Soon, Serenity had changed into a gown. She put on light makeup and a pair of high hee

    Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

    Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

    Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

    After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

    Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

    Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

    Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

    The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa
