Duncan looked at the insulated lunch box. He could not reach it after she moved it to the edge because of his injured legs.

He was that useless.

Everyone had been encouraging him to focus on recuperating. The doctor said the chances of recovery were high, but it was not a hundred percent. Who knew if he could make full recovery?

If he could not, then he would merely be like just now, a person who could not even sweep a lunch box to the floor. It was as if the lunch box had a mouth and was laughing at him. He could not stand the sight of the lunch box, yet he could not get rid of it.

Duncan was about to fly into a rage when Liberty’s phone rang.

He saw her picking up the phone and heard her say, “Seren.” He knew it was a call from Serenity.

Liberty did not pay attention to Duncan while she was on the phone call. Only then did he dare to remove his icy mask of disguise and drink the sight of her with his eyes greedily.

He was desperate to be with the person he liked for twent

    Duncan felt bad for Liberty, but he still did not want to be a burden to her. He said icily, “I said I’d give you six hundred thousand dollars. It’s double what my mom offered you. Leave now. Immediately. Right at this second. Leave!”“Mr. Lewis, I won’t take the six hundred thousand dollars. Mrs. Lewis hiring me is a long-term job, but you’re offering me a one-off amount. I’ll suffer a huge loss. However, if you were to give me six hundred grand for no specific reason each month, I won’t feel comfortable accepting the money. I prefer earning money by working. It makes me feel at ease when I spend it too.”Duncan was speechless. “Long-term? Are you planning to do this for your entire life?”“With your current attitude, I think it’s largely possible.”Duncan said, “I’ll get better. I’ll definitely recover.”Liberty laughed. “That’ll depend on whether you’ll cooperate with the treatment. If you keep this up, I’ll suspect your ability to stand up again. If you end up wheelchair-bound

    “Liberty!” Duncan called from inside the ward. “I’ll go in and have a look, Mrs. Lewis.”Liberty withdrew her hand lightly and turned to return to the ward. Mrs. Lewis did not follow her in. As long as Liberty was present and did not call for their help, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew not to enter and leave them alone. Their son’s attitude was terrible, and he had not restrained his temper yet. However, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew their son wanted Liberty to stay and care for him. Mrs. Lewis returned to sit beside her husband. She sighed and said, “I was too stubborn back then. I’ll learn from Tania from now on.”Derek told his wife, “I’ve advised you many times, but you wouldn’t listen. Our son isn’t young anymore. Other people his age already have children in middle school, but he doesn’t even have a girlfriend. Since he finally has someone he likes, who cares how many times she has gotten divorced? It’s fine as long as our son likes her.“You didn’t heed my advice at all. Now, we

    At the hilltop villa, when the call with her sister ended, Serenity retook Sonny’s temperature after he was done eating. She said to Zachary, “It’s 99.86 degrees Fahrenheit. Should we bathe him again?”Zachary poured a glass of water for Sonny to drink up. He said, “Sonny had just eaten his fill. Let him rest before giving him another warm bath. Breaking a fever is a gradual process. There’s no need to panic or worry. The medicine Dr. Thompson prescribed is still on standby.”Ring, ring…Zachary’s phone rang. Serenity said, “Sonny’s fever is going down. You’re busy and have lots of work to do, so you should go back to the office. I’ll look after Sonny at home.”Zachary did not reply but answered the call first. It was Mr. Daniels who called.“Mr. Daniels.”Zachary hated Jenna, but he still treated Mr. Daniels politely. The two companies were looking to collaborate after all. However, Zachary would be willing to give up on the golden opportunity and not work with Daniels Group i

    “Sonny’s sick. I feel insecure leaving him at home. You’re worried too, right? If I were to follow you, would you be okay leaving Sonny alone?”Zachary did not say a word. He was uneasy about it too. “Next time, alright. I’ll definitely go with you next time. Don’t pull a long face. You should go upstairs to change your clothes and head out soon. Don’t keep Mr. Daniels waiting too long.”“Come upstairs with me to choose my outfit,” Zachary requested. Serenity lifted Sonny and started walking. “Am I not the one who bought all your clothes? They’re all in your favorite black color with little difference. Any outfit will suit you well. You have the perfect figure and will look good in anything.“I was also the one who bought the ties you’ve been wearing every day. You don’t even have to specifically choose the one I purchased. Wearing any one of them will add to your charisma.”Zachary muttered softly, “I just want you to help me put them on.”Serenity turned to glance at him.

    “Who else do I care about if not you? I would’ve accompanied you if Sonny wasn’t sick,” Serenity told him with a smile. Zachary hugged Sonny before getting into the car. He said to Sonny, “Sonny, I’m so jealous of you. Unlike me, you can cling to your aunt every day. There are so many things waiting for me to handle every day.”“Uncle Zak, I’ll help you out after growing up and when I can do so. When that time comes, you can have a holiday.”Sonny’s childish words made Zachary laugh. “You’re such a good child. My love for you has not been in vain.”Zachary even pecked Sonny on his cheek because he was delighted. He said with a smile, “My work is difficult to handle. If you want to help me, you can study well when you go to school. Only then you’ll have the capability to help me when you’re grown up.”Sonny nodded enthusiastically. “I’ll study hard, Uncle Zak. Mom said knowledge could change… Change… Anyway, I have to study hard.”Sonny could not recall his mother’s words, but

    “Who sent these flowers, Sam? Did Zachary ask someone to deliver them here?”Upon seeing the bouquet, Serenity thought Zachary had arranged for someone to deliver the flowers to her.“What did Zachary give me again? I already have so many clothes that I can’t wear them all.”Serenity also thought the bags filled with clothes were given to her by Zachary. She would buy or put in custom orders for his clothes while he was in charge of hers. He liked seeing her in the clothes he bought from head to toe. Sam hesitated to speak. He first handed the bouquet to Serenity. She took the bouquet and saw a small card placed inside it. She had a look at the card. It wrote: [Zachary, this bouquet is for you. I wish you happiness every day. Love you!]There was no signature. A bouquet for Zachary?Serenity was stunned after reading the note. It was a bouquet of roses. Someone gave Zachary roses and even wrote words like loving Zachary. It was obvious that a woman had sent those things.

    After confirming that her nephew was fine, Serenity got her phone and took pictures of the roses and clothes. The pictures were sent to Zachary. Soon, Zachary gave her a call. “Honey, who sent you flowers?”Zachary’s tone was aggressive. Which bold b*stard dared to give his wife flowers? Did that person have a death wish? “Didn’t you see the clothes were suits? There are neckties too. They’re all yours. The bouquet is meant for you too.”Zachary said, “They’re for me?”His aggressive aura dissipated. The presents were for him.Which hateful person was playing a prank on him by sending him flowers and clothes? Was that person trying to cause a rift between him and Serenity on purpose?Zachary quickly explained, “Honey, I’ve never led someone on or done anything to betray you. Does the card mention who the sender is? I have a score to settle with that person.”“There’s no signature. I don’t know who sent the items.”Serenity guessed it was Ms. Daniels. Zachary told her l

    It must be Jenna! Zachary did not look too pleased. While Jenna did not come along, she would not quit. Jenna had flowers and clothes delivered to his residence. Mr. Daniels had invited Zachary for a meal today and talked about collaboration, so Jenna would have known. She deliberately timed the delivery for when he was out. It was so Serenity would get the wrong idea and kick up a fuss with him. That woman was vile. “I had a good talk with Mr. Daniels and sealed the deal on the partnership, but now that I think about it, I want to give up on the project, Seren.” Jenna was the only daughter of Mr. Daniels. It was said that Mr. Daniels took a while to regulate his health so that he could have a child. Mr. Daniels and his wife simply adored their only daughter. Although Mr. Daniels was sensible enough not to bring Jenna along today, nor was he supporting Jenna’s courtship of Zachary, Zachary did not want to take the risk. Even the most sensible parents, who doted on their

    “If Mom said she would create an opportunity for you to get with the king, would you really believe her? It’s just talk—nothing actually happened.” Trenton could not resist poking Carrie’s forehead a few times. “Carrie, can you please come back to earth? In your current state, forget about finding a great guy like Callum—even a regular, decent guy would be turned off by you.”Carrie swatted away her brother’s fingers, irritated and embarrassed. “Am I really that bad? I’m young, beautiful, have a great figure, and a dignified heiress. If the monarchy still existed, I could marry the king and be his queen without a problem.”“Carrie, you have sky-high ambitions, but be careful, don’t fly too close to the sun and end up like Icarus.”As soon as he said that, Trenton was met with a smack from his sister.“Is there a brother who curses his own sister like that? What do you mean by that? I’m destined to have the princess life. I’ll be fine.”However, deep down, she was still worried bec

    Camryn was right—he was just too soft-hearted. If he were as ruthless as her, Carrie would have found a job long ago after running out of money.To encourage Carrie to become independent, Trenton decided that after Christmas, he would stop giving her living expenses. He would also tell their parents during his visit to prison that Carrie was truly hopeless.“Trenton, you keep siding with her, and one day you'll regret it. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has deceived who knows how many people. Do you really think she cares about you? She just wants to win your complete trust to take everything that belongs to you for herself. By driving us out of our home, she’s not only seeking revenge on Mom and Dad but also on us—especially you. She’s just pretending to be nice to you to sow discord between us siblings.”“Carrie!” Trenton said seriously, “Don’t talk about Camryn like that. She’s not that kind of person. I believe in her, one hundred percent.”Carrie was so furious she wanted

    “Alright, alright, I can't win with the two of you against one,” Carrie sulked. “Give me money to spend. I'm out of money.”She reached out her hand toward Camryn, wanting her to give her money. Camryn slapped her hand away. “Even Trenton knows to take advantage of the winter break to find a part-time job and earn some pocket money. You’re perfectly capable, yet you don’t look for a job.“To put it bluntly, if you’ve gone to sweep the streets, you'd still have a source of income. I have money, but I won’t give it to you. Don’t think that just because we’re sisters—estranged, too, at that—I have an obligation to support my adult sister. I’ve said it before: if you want money to spend, earn it yourself.” With that, Camryn walked away to tend to her plants.As Christmas approached, the flower market was bustling. Every day, many people came to buy flowers, and all her employees were out delivering flowers to clients. Sometimes, when it got too busy, she even had to ask her two bodyguar

    Trenton was relieved that Dalton was indebted to Camryn. That was why Dalton had been loyal to Newman Enterprise.If Newman Enterprise did not fall into Camryn’s hands, there was no doubt that Dalton would leave the company. If that happened, the company was doomed.When his parents went to prison, he was merely 18, and Carrie only knew how to spend money. Not only that, their relatives were hungry to get a share of the Newman family’s assets. He and Carrie could not have protected their family’s wealth alone.After Camryn regained her sight, she still could not strain her eyes for long hours. Therefore, Dalton remained in charge of the company.Luckily, they had Callum as well. Even if anything were to happen, Callum would not leave Newman Enterprise to fall because many of the Newman family’s assets belonged to Camryn.He would not let Camryn lose anything.“You’ve been brainwashed by Dalton after working with him. Our dad treated him well and trusted him, yet Dalton betrayed

    Camryn said, “She’s just using her lack of money as an excuse to start a fight with me.“Do you really think she has no money?”Carrie had somehow become Mrs. Longbottom yet she was still hiding her identity. Camryn had not understood the entire situation yet.Nevertheless, she was certain that Carrie did not need money.After she spoke, a familiar car arrived.It was the car Carrie had always used in the past.When she returned to the Newman family’s villa after getting out of prison, she only drove that car. She could not take other cars. The cars were still parked in the garage. “Come out, Camryn.”Carrie had gotten out of the car and started shouting for Camryn.When the York family’s bodyguards saw her, they simply glanced at her and did not stop her from entering the store. They knew Camryn had always been lenient with her younger sister.Since Camryn did not give any orders to stop Carrie from entering, the bodyguards simply kept an eye on Carrie to ensure that sh

    “I want to go to Spring Blossoms as Carrie,” she told the bodyguard who was driving. “Your sister’s people are keeping an eye on your apartment. She’ll get suspicious again if you head over in your outfit. Everything Mr. Longbottom arranged will go to waste,” the bodyguard reminded her.Carrie thought it over. “Okay. Let’s head home first. I’ll change my clothes and remove my makeup before heading over.”She would also check if her stand-in had damaged any of her stuff.If she did, Carrie would tell the stand-in to compensate her.The bodyguard remained silent.Once they arrived at Longbottom Villa, Carrie took off her hyper-realistic mask and removed her makeup. After changing her clothes, she returned to being Carrie and went out with her bag.Her two bodyguards did not stop her from leaving.She could do anything as long as it would not rouse Camryn and other people’s suspicions.Besides, Carrie had just gotten scolded by their boss on the phone. Although Mr. Longbottom

    Mr. Longbottom thought he was not so inferior to men younger than him.More accurately, he was far superior. He had status, money, and power.Which of the younger men could be on par with him unless they came from a wealthy family?Many sons of wealthy families could not compete with him.“I can’t go over because I’m busy these days. But I do miss you too.“It’s more difficult because of the festive season. There are many events, and I have to accompany my family. My wife doesn't care about me, but her request is that I be with her during the holidays because we have to meet our friends and families. Do you understand?”Mr. Longbottom had a wife and children. Carrie knew about it. He had never hid that fact.Carrie did not know if he was close to his wife. Although he said they no longer had feelings for each other, Carrie dared not believe him because he had never let other women take his wife’s place.He also never allowed other women to become pregnant with his children.Mr

    Carrie thought she had matured since she could figure out that much. In the past, she would not have understood a thing. Love was about accepting everything about someone. Most people could tolerate their partner’s shortcomings when they were deeply in love. However, without love, even a person’s strength would seem like a fault. Carrie smiled. “Mr. York is a workaholic. Serenity must’ve gotten the habit from him and turned into one herself. I can’t believe she’s working so hard even though she’s pregnant.”“She’s still in the early stages of pregnancy. Going to work is fine.”“Do you need anything else, Mrs. Longbottom?” Jasmine asked.“No. I shall take my leave now, Mrs. Bucham.”Jasmine was on guard and unwilling to reveal much about Serenity. Therefore, it would be better for Carrie to leave. She was not close to Serenity and her friends yet. “Bye, Mrs. Longbottom.”Jasmine saw Carrie out and watched as she got into her car.Once Carrie got far enough from the booksto

    Mr. Longbottom had been surprised by her question. He told her coldly that she should refrain from asking unnecessary questions.One who knew too much would not live long. Carrie got intimidated and dared not ask another question. Although she got more curious, she did not try to gather more information for fear Mr. Longbottom would choke her again if he found out. “Nothing. I just asked because I haven’t seen her in a while.”Of course, Carrie could not reveal that she was looking for Serenity. Jasmine would get suspicious if she did. No one around Serenity was a fool. “Seren is busy with work. I rarely see her these days,” Jasmine said.Carrie knew it was a lie. She was aware that Serenity's closest friends did not trust her yet. It made her feel defeated. It had been months since Mr. Longbottom found her and asked her to approach Serenity. Despite her efforts, she still had not obtained Serenity’s trust, let alone become her friend.However, Jasmine and Serenity go
