Mr. Lafayette’s children took his wife’s side. Mr. Lafayette, who did not have the upper hand, was no longer a man of his word. When Elisa heard from Remy about Mr. Lafayette and his wife, she was interested in their story. However, that was Mr. Lafayette’s story. No one would dare to pry into his life unless he spoke about it himself.Elisa and Remy walked into the villa together.Serenity was standing not far away from Remy while she was holding Sonny’s hand. When Remy saw her, he asked Elisa with a smile, “You went to talk business with Serenity, huh?”“Mm. Now that I’ve expanded my investment, business expansion is necessary as well. We probably have to be away on a business trip in a few days. We can’t just target Wiltspoonians.”Serenity and Elisa were both highly ambitious. They planned to expand their business to other cities and towns.Remy immediately put forward a suggestion. “You can go to Annenburg for inspection. Many of our farms are abandoned. Young people go ou
“Sonny, you’re wonderful. Let me thank you on behalf of the babies.”Sonny smiled happily.After Remy put Sonny down, Serenity held Sonny’s hand and entered the house with Elisa.As soon as Mrs. Stone learned that Serenity and Sonny were here, she was pleased at first. She even went to the door to welcome them while beaming.Nevertheless, the moment she caught sight of Remy, her smile faded.It had been quite some time since that man came over to visit.Mrs. Stone thought that Remy had given up on Elisa. Later, she found out that Mrs. Young-Johnson had given birth, so Remy went back to visit his newly-born niece and nephew since he was their uncle. He did not give up, in fact.Once Remy returned to Wiltspoon, he shamelessly came over.“Aunt Audrey.”“Grandaunt Audrey.”Serenity and Sonny greeted Mrs. Stone.“Mrs. Stone.”Remy greeted Mrs. Stone smilingly.Mrs. Stone glared at Remy before she turned to Sonny. She bent over and carried Sonny with a grin. “It’s been a long ti
“Your sister…” Mrs. Stone felt that Liberty was always having a rough time in relationships. She bit her tongue mid-sentence.“Mr. Lewis still doesn’t want to meet Liberty?” Mrs. Stone asked concernedly.“He didn’t want to meet Zachary and I when we went to visit him. Zachary texted him, but Duncan didn’t reply or answer any calls. He led himself down a blind alley, always assuming that we’re just taking pity on him.”Mrs. Stone let out a sigh.Elisa and Remy came in while holding hands. After Mrs. Stone took a glimpse of him, Remy let go of Elisa’s hand.His future mother-in-law had yet to accept him. Therefore, he did not want to be intimate with Elisa in front of Mrs. Stone.After Elisa asked Remy to take a seat, she walked away with the bouquet of flowers and put it in a big vase. She also brought the jewelry that Remy gave her into her room.When she headed downstairs, everyone was chatting merrily.It was mainly because of Sonny’s presence. Mrs. Stone was afraid of leadin
However, Jenna said seriously, “Goodbye, Mr. York.”Zachary was in a sulk.Jenna liked his cold look. Having been staying by her father’s side, she had seen many big bosses and rich young men. It was her first time seeing such an outstanding man like Zachary.She was not bothered about how Zachary engaged in business. All she cared about was his looks.He was handsome and cold. Seeing him gave her the urge to conquer him.She wanted to conquer this man.Jenna did not mind Zachary’s silence. After Mr. Daniels bade goodbye to Zachary, she followed her father to their car.Once the chauffeur pulled open the door, Mr. Daniels and Jenna got into the car.Mr. Daniels pressed down on the window button to wave and say goodbye to Zachary again.Zachary waved at Mr. Daniels.The Danielses’ luxury car left Wiltspoon Hotel shortly.“Jenna, what did you do to Mr. York just now? His face instantly darkened.”Mr. Daniels pressed the window button before he turned his head to his beloved d
“Jim, what did you see just now?” Zachary, who was silent, suddenly asked.Jim answered without hesitation, “I saw Ms. Daniels stroke your palm.”With that, he became conscious of what he had just said. He quickly changed his answer. “No, no, boss. I didn’t see anything. Really, I saw nothing.”Considering Zachary’s brilliance, he could easily win young women’s hearts. In order to avoid trouble, he had been bringing along bodyguards whose main job was to stop young women from approaching him. They did not expect this accident to happen tonight.From the way Ms. Daniels looked at Zachary, she had an ulterior purpose.“From now onward, all young women, except my family, must keep a distance of ten feet from me.”Zachary felt the need to behave like he did back then whereby he made all young women, except his family members, stay ten feet away from him.He thought that everyone was aware of his marriage with Serenity, so no one would have an interest in him.He was wrong.Someo
“Sam, I didn’t hear or see anything. I’m going to take a rest now.”Ultimately, Jim dared not tell Sam that a client’s daughter was interested in Zachary and flirted with him. Jim ran like the wind.“B*stard.”After scolding Jim, Sam turned his eyes to the chauffeur.The chauffeur said with a yawn, “Sam, I really didn’t see anything. I didn’t hear what Mr. Zachary said as well. I was focusing on my drive.“Sam, it’s getting late. You should go and rest. Good night.”With that, the chauffeur strode away.Other bodyguards did not have the slightest idea what was going on. Jim was the one who was in the same car as Zachary. If Jim did not reveal it, no one would know.Feeling helpless, Sam went back to the house.Zachary did not stay on the ground floor. He had gone upstairs.Once he arrived at the study, he gently knocked on the door.Perhaps Serenity was so absorbed in her work that she did not notice what was happening outside. She was unaware that Zachary had returned. When
It was not related to work.Again, Serenity asked Zachary with her pretty eyes glowing, “What’s it then? Tell me. We’re a couple. We shouldn’t hide anything from each other. As you said, you’ll never hide anything from me no matter what it is.”“Honey.”Zachary said in a low voice, “Someone flirted with me.”Serenity was speechless.Her eyes widened, and her mouth agape.Did she mishear him?Someone actually dared to flirt with Zachary?When he was outside, he always looked sulky, signaling others not to approach him. There were bodyguards who followed him around to stop strangers from approaching him.How was it possible that someone flirted with him?Unless that was a man.With such a thought, Serenity asked, “Was it a man? Was it a gay who showed interest in you?”She felt that he would only allow people of his gender to approach him, which explained why that person had the opportunity to flirt with him.After being quiet for a moment, he replied in a deep tone, “It was
Toward the end of her sentence, Serenity’s smile faded. She said, “Hank and Jessica’s case is a good example. Of course, Jessica isn’t to blame completely. Much of the blame rests with Hank.”Karma had hit Jessica now.However, it had yet to hit Hank.Zachary showed a pathetic look and said, “Honey, I don’t care. I belong to you. You need to protect me. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of me.”“Alright, I’ll protect you. I’ll keep you company at any social function you attend. I’ll announce my ownership of you to everyone. Zachary fully belongs to Serenity. If anyone has the audacity to snatch my man, I’ll beat them up.”“Honey, why do you sound as though you’re comforting a child?”“How should I say it then?”Zachary stopped speaking.Serenity kissed him on the cheek. After that, she hugged him with her upper body lying on his chest. With a soft voice, she said, “Babe, don’t be angry. I’ll walk the talk. I’ll keep you company at every social function to prevent others from
“Besides, he caught a cold just from standing outside for half an hour without his jacket last time. He was only fine because he drank some spicy soup and took some medicine. Also, he has a strong body, because if it were other people, they would’ve fallen sick.“I just wanted to torture him a little. I don’t want him to die. I still need him so I can marry into the York family.”Layla smiled. “The York family has many young masters. It doesn’t have to be him. His cousins are of similar age as you, right?”“Peter is close to my age, but he already has a fiancée. Austin already has an arranged partner too. River and the rest are too young. Even if they were offered to me, I wouldn’t want them. I don’t like being the older one in a relationship.”Rowan was not even a legal adult yet.Layla said, “Okay. Old Mrs. York is a weird lady, but I can’t deny that she has a good eye for people.“I think Dylan isn’t even good enough for you. He can’t win against you in a fight, and his IQ and
If Imogen hated the noise and excitement in the air, she would not have snooped around as Chameleon Fox. That identity allowed her to explore and have fun. Sometimes, she would step up to help someone or be a troublemaker and offend someone.Layla walked over and sat down. She watched Imogen’s charming face and smiled. “That York guy is here again. He’s waiting at the company’s entrance. He has a bouquet in his hands, and his new car is parked behind him.“It looks like he wants to invite you to have a dinner date with him.”Layla asked, “What is he trying to do? Are you still planning to accept him?”Dylan had been living in a hotel since his arrival in Huntington. He was already looking at houses but had not found one he liked yet.Grandma May suggested he learn from Remy and buy a house right beside the Doyle family's. It would make it more convenient for him to pursue Imogen.However, none of the Doyles’ neighbors intended to sell their houses. Those people did not lack money
Imogen did not give Dylan a reply. She was still in the office.She did not even have time to look at his messages. She just wanted to finish her work as soon as possible so she could leave and eat.Did Dylan not need to work?He also had a company under his name. Even if he was not involved in managing York Corporation, he still had to manage his own company, right?Imogen was extremely busy.She had been overwhelmed with work since she resumed working yesterday. She would be at a meeting, on her way to see a client, handling documents, or solving issues at a branch company.Imogen barely had time to take a sip of water, let alone reply to Dylan’s messages.Seeing Dylan being so relaxed while she was working so hard put her in a bad mood. Her urge to ignore him gradually increased.As her parents had mentioned, she had other men to choose from. Dylan was not her only option.She could fall in love with someone else.Even if Imogen were to choose Dylan in the end, she would m
However, they had heard that this man had previously pursued Imogen, and those who had a good memory and had seen Dylan before, had already recognized him.When Imogen seemed a bit interested, this man then said he did not love her and went to pursue someone else. After failing to win over that person, he backtracked to pursue their vice president once more. This behavior left many people with a bad impression of Dylan.What did he take their vice president for?It was worth noting that Imogen was the chairman’s niece and the president’s sister. The chairman treated his own daughter and niece the same, and in the Doyle family, she was very much favored by her elders. The Doyles were one of the top families in Huntington, and as part of it, Imogen did not have to worry about finding a husband.Dylan ignored the looks people gave him. His gaze fixed on the cars coming out of the Davidson Group building, afraid that if he blinked, Imogen would pass him by.He watched the employees le
Duncan called Serenity to inform her that he was taking Sonny to the Lewises’ for dinner and would send him back later. Naturally, Serenity had no objections. With her nephew being well taken care of by Duncan, Serenity had time to go shopping with Jasmine. Jasmine was buying baby supplies as she was eight months pregnant and it was high time to prepare for the baby’s arrival. Watching Jasmine pick up items for her baby made Serenity feel the itch, and she ended up buying a ton of stuff for both her baby and Sonny.In the evening, Zachary and Josh came to pick up their wives.They both managed to cancel their appointments, leaving the task of handling work engagements to Callum and other senior executives. The two men who were once the busiest had now become the ones who most enjoyed slacking off.“Why did you buy so much? Where’s Sonny?” Zachary asked as he walked toward Serenity when he got out of the car. He saw his wife and her bodyguards carrying a bunch of shopping bags. T
Olivia cursed Duncan one last time. “You won’t have a good ending bullying the weak!” she spat before she was pulled away by her husband.Duncan watched them leave, his expression cold. “Dunc, don't be angry. My grandmom is always like that. When Lucas wanted my toys before, I cried and refused to let him take them. My mom wouldn’t let him either, but she always scolded my mom. I still remember that.”Sonny could vaguely remember some things from when he was two years old. It had only been a little over two years since then, after all.As he comforted Duncan, he gently touched Duncan's face, speaking softly, “Aunt Ser says we shouldn’t get too angry. If we get too angry, we’ll grow old faster. I don’t want you to get old, Dunc. I want you to stay just like this forever.“Dunc, please don’t be mad anymore. I won’t eat the fried chicken my grandmom buys for me anymore.”Duncan could not help but feel both amused and heartbroken for both Sonny and Liberty, who had been mistreated b
“I don’t want to. I want to be with Dunc.”Sonny did not want his grandmother to carry him. He turned to Olivia and said, “Aunt Lili treated me when I was sick and she said my throat got infected because I ate fried chicken, and that’s why I had a fever. She told me not to eat fried chicken anymore.“Aunt Ser also said that when I feel better, she’ll fry it for me herself. It’s safer than the fried chicken bought from outside, but I still can only eat a little bit, not too much.“Grandmom, I don’t want to eat fast food bought from outside anymore. You guys shouldn’t blame Dunc. He’s really good to me and if you scold him, I won’t like you anymore.”Sonny did not really have any affection for his grandparents. They had always taken his cousin Lucas’s side. Whatever toys he had or food he liked, Olivia would take them away to give to Lucas. He did not like Lucas, and he did not like Grandmom either. Even though his grandparents were nicer to him now, Sonny still spent very little t
Olivia immediately retracted her hand when she saw Duncan’s cold glance. Not daring to forcefully take Sonny from him, she awkwardly smiled and said to Duncan, “Mr. Lewis, can we have a word with Sonny?”“You can ask Sonny. If he’s happy to, that’s fine,” Duncan said coldly, giving Luke’s bag a glance before addressing both of them. “Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Sonny had a fever yesterday, which the doctor said was due to a throat infection. You two took him to eat a lot of fried chicken and fries that day, which caused the infection.“Today, you brought him more fast food. If Sonny eats that, he might have a fever again. Please try to avoid giving him such heavy foods in the future.”Olivia immediately became anxious, reaching out to touch Sonny’s forehead. “Has Sonny recovered from the fever? Are you still feeling unwell? Why didn’t you take a day off from preschool?“It’s fine to do that, you know. There’s no need to rush back to school. Plus, Sonny doesn’t eat much. We did take him to
“I don’t understand what Liberty is thinking, leaving Sonny in Wiltspoon. When she got Sonny’s custody, she should have taken him with her,” Olivia muttered.She really wanted her son to file another lawsuit and regain custody of Sonny, but out of consideration for Sonny’s future, she could not do that. Plus, her son would not listen to her anyway.“Liberty went to Jensburg. She’s probably still dealing with a lot of trouble over there and we don’t understand the situation. If she could, she would have taken Sonny with her. She values Sonny’s education a lot, and Sonny has been well-educated under her care,” Luke spoke more objectively.Although he did not like Duncan, he could see that Duncan really cared for Sonny. Sonny was very attached to Serenity because she had raised him. That was natural, and it probably had nothing to do with whether Duncan was a good stepfather or not. Luke did not say this out loud to avoid being scolded by his wife for siding with Duncan.“Here comes
