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
“I’m sorry, Mr. Callum.”Camryn still turned Callum down.Callum took the watering can from her hand. Then, he dragged her to the counter and sat down. He said, “Camryn, please sit down. I have something to tell you.” “What’s the matter?”Callum noticed that the two store workers were out delivering flowers to customers. In fact, he purposely called to order two bouquets of flowers to send them away. Due to her two elder aunts, the business of Spring Blossoms had gone downhill.“You’ve always wanted to know why I approached and helped you, right?”While facing Callum, Camryn kept quiet.As much as she wanted to know, she would not be able to fish for his answer if he was silent on it. She remained baffled.When he first appeared in her flower shop, she was sure that it was their first time meeting each other.“After the new year, Nana sent me two photos. One is for me, whereas the other is for Kevin. The one I have is a photo of you.”Camryn was dumbfounded.Since when di
“Nana said the girl in the photo would be the future wife she has chosen for me. She wants me to marry the girl in the photo within one year, or she’ll kick me out of the house.”Camryn was at a loss for words.Why would this turn out to be the answer?How could Old Mrs. York possibly make Camryn the wife of Callum?Camryn was blind.“It’s April now. There are still several more months for me to pursue you. Let’s do it step by step. We’ll get into a relationship, followed by engagement and marriage. That’s it. Oh, no, I actually don’t have to worry about being kicked out of the house. No, it’s… I don’t know how to say it now.”He felt that whatever he said would make Camryn feel as though he simply wanted to complete his mission.Callum admitted that he approached Camryn with the aim of completing his mission. However, when he got along with Camryn, he found her quite nice. Whenever he tricked her, she would look angry and helpless.After Mrs. Newman was arrested and Mr. Newman
At the Buchams, Zachary’s exclusive cars came early.Zachary was Josh’s good buddy and boss. He was also Josh and Jasmine’s matchmaker. Of course, Zachary and his wife arrived early.The Bucham and Sox elders were present.Seeing Liam and Tania get out of the car, the Bucham and Sox elders went to greet them first, followed by Josh and Jasmine.As Liam and Tania did not know Jasmine’s parents, Josh’s parents introduced Jasmine's parents to Tania.After shaking each other’s hands and making small talk, Mrs. Sox stared at Tania and said with a smile, “Mrs. York looks like Zachary’s sister. She has such a youthful appearance.”After getting out of the car, Serenity walked over and overheard Mrs. Sox’s words. She laughed and added, “Exactly. When I shopped around with my mom, other people thought we were sisters.”Tania grinned and replied, “Both of you know how to make me happy.”Mrs. Sox said, “Mrs. York, we’re not trying to make you happy. We’re telling the truth. As someone who
“Josh and Ms. Sox will live happily just like we do.”The elders of the two families were extremely grateful to Zachary and his wife.The Buchams felt that even though Zachary was married, he even helped his good buddy by introducing Jasmine to Josh. He had such a strong sense of honor toward Josh.The Soxes felt the same.The Bucham elders were content with Jasmine. Now that the Sox elders had their son-in-law, Drake had to get out of the way, let alone Jasmine. If Jasmine criticized Josh in front of her parents, her parents would glare at her.Jasmine always grumbled about it in front of Josh. Ever since she got together with Josh, her parents seemed to have become his parents.Josh was smug about it.The guests who came to attend the engagement party drove here. However, a few guests were an exception as they came by private jet. The private jet landed on the ramp that belonged to the head of the Bucham household.Out of curiosity, Serenity asked the man beside her, “Do you
Zachary’s eyes settled on Serenity. A moment later, he whispered something in her ear. Serenity could not help but pinch his arm.Zachary was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Let’s go. I’ll bring you out and take a look around.”Serenity was delighted.At the Buchams’ courtyard, the couple saw the chairman of Queen Enterprise, Mr. Donald, walking into the house with his wife and “sons” under the escort of the Buchams and Soxes.When Kevin caught sight of the sturdy and cool “man” standing behind Mr. Donald, his gaze deepened. He did not know that the Queens from Jensburg would come over.While holding a glass of wine, Elisa walked up to Serenity and said to Zachary, “Zachary, I’d like to have a private conversation with Seren. Please step aside.”Zachary glowered at Elisa with a grim expression.This woman actually snatched his wife in public.Elisa enjoyed watching how Zachary looked grim yet he dared not do anything to her.“Babe.”Serenity called Zachary sweetly,
Only after Zachary and Serenity walked far away did Elisa approach Remy and complain softly, “Zachary is a domineering, narrow-minded person. He was worried my cousin would be obsessed with the twin brothers of the Queens, so he promptly took Seren away.”Remy maintained a slight smile. He gave Elisa the impression that he was an elegant gentleman.“Mr. Zachary pampers his wife. Indeed, the twins of the Queens are brilliant. Although I’m not close to them, I’ve heard about the twin brothers. Hayden Queen is the president of Queen Enterprise. Mr. Donald trusts him fully and has high expectations of him. “Hugh set up his own business and is unwilling to take over his family business. It’s said that Mr. Donald wants to hand Queen Enterprise over to his younger son.”Elisa instinctively asked, “Why is Mr. Donald so biased? Mr. Queen has the ability to take over Queen Enterprise, yet Mr. Donald is thinking about handing it to his younger son. Is Mr. Donald trying to turn the brothers i
Remy looked at Elisa smilingly and said, “I too think the Queen brothers don’t suit you, but it’s nice to appreciate them as beautiful scenery.”Elisa nodded and felt that Remy knew her quite well.Once all the guests had arrived, the engagement party officially began.At the sight of Jasmine’s blissful look, Elisa said in admiration, “Among my three friends, two of them are in love and blissful. Cece and I are still single. It’s really admirable to see how happy Seren and Jasmine are.”Zachary and Josh were people who could be counted on.They were faithful in relationships.Those who could win their hearts and become their wives would be greatly pampered forever.Who would dislike being pampered?“Your best friend has gotten over her past relationship, hasn’t she?” Remy casually asked. Then, he added, “You don’t have to worry too much. There’s sure to be a suitable man who walks into your life and gives you happiness in the future.”Elisa said, “Even though Cece claimed that
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
“Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and
The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi
In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com
