When they were close to the hotel, Hayden woke Kevin up and said to him, “Mr. York, we’re almost reaching your hotel.” Kevin sat up and glanced outside the window. It was a familiar sight.He said apologetically to Hayden, “I’m sorry for sleeping throughout the journey.”“No worries.”Hayden thought it was good enough that he did not pass out completely. Otherwise, she would have had to look after him the entire journey.“Mr. Hayden, where do you usually stay?”Hayden kept quiet for a moment before she answered, “I bought a villa in Lake Edge, and I usually stay there since it’s close to the office. It’s about a ten-minute drive.”If she had stayed with her parents in the manor, it would have taken her one hour of drive to return to the office. She would not be able to sleep longer.Hayden had a disciplined lifestyle. She would never be late to work. By half-past eight in the morning, she would have arrived at the office, which was considered early among the senior management.
Kevin giggled and said, “I don’t mind if the house is expensive. I want it as long as it’s nice and suitable. Mr. Hayden, when are you free to take me to view the house?”“Since it’s quite late now, it’s not convenient to do so. Let me leave a number for you. When you’re free tomorrow, you can contact this number. Someone will take you there to look at the house.”“Alright. Thank you so much, Mr. Hayden.”Kevin thanked Hayden.Hayden gave Kevin her housekeeper’s number. “Mr. York, this is my housekeeper’s number. You can contact her, and she’ll help you contact the villa’s owner to take you on a house tour.“The house owner said that she wants to sell the house. She purposely left her contact number to her neighbors, saying that anyone who’s interested in buying the house can contact her.”“Alright. I’ll contact your housekeeper tomorrow. Thanks for your help, Mr. Hayden.”Hayden replied nonchalantly, “It’s no trouble at all. You’re most welcome, Mr. York.”He might not buy tha
After Kevin entered the hotel, he was not in a rush to head upstairs. Instead, he walked to the lounge on the ground floor. He then took out his phone to call his nana.Grandma May picked up his call and said, “Kevin, you still remember me, b*stard. I only told you off, and you ran away from home.”“Nana, I didn’t run away from home. I just came to Jensburg on a business trip. Now, I’m at Fortress Hotel.”Grandma May snorted. “Since you’ve gone to Jensburg, you should spend quality time with Hayden. That’s how you build relationships. Trust my taste. Both of you are suitable for each other.”One of them was talkative, whereas the other was silent. They could complement each other.Kevin looked around and saw no one. Only then did he whisper, “Nana, how did you find out that Hayden is a woman? From what I observed, she doesn’t portray feminine beauty and acts manlier than I do. Whenever I walk with her, it gives me the false impression that we’re buddies.”Grandma May giggled and
The York men would not commit such preposterous acts.“I believe I’ve raised you guys well. All of you are nice, capable, and responsible young men. You won’t do those things. It’s been a while since I practiced self-defense. I might not be as agile as before, but I can still summon my strength to deal with you if you ever do those things.Kevin said, “Nana… Can you at least wait for me to finish my sentence?”“Well, you didn’t say it all in one shot. How dare you blame me. It’s only because I’m your nana that I tolerate you.”“Nana, I’m going to take a look at a house tomorrow, and I need a psychicdiviner. He doesn’t need to be competent. Most importantly, he’s able to lie and twist things around.”Bewildered, Grandma May said, “I understand that you need a psychicdiviner to look at the house, given that buying a house is a big matter. If you buy a house with bad energy, your life will be negatively affected. The most dreadful thing is buying a house with the worst energy because
Grandma May was not at all worried. She merely faked her worry for Kevin.After Kevin hung up, Grandma May contacted a diviner and requested the diviner to fly over to Jensburg with his apprentice. Their flight ticket, meals, and accommodation would be covered. All they needed to do was contact Kevin and listen to his instructions.The diviner heartily agreed.After settling Kevin’s matters, Grandma May was in a cheerful mood. She headed to her eldest grandson’s house at night. When the butler heard the bell ring, he went to open the door, only to see Grandma May. Sam was dumbfounded. While opening the door for her, he asked, “Old Mrs. York, you should call us before you come over so we can pick you up. Did you come here by cab?”Although Grandma May could still drive, she was already old. Her grandchildren forbade her from driving even though she was physically strong. They wanted the chauffeur to drive her wherever she went.“My chauffeur sent me here. He left after I got out of
“This time, which rich young lady is interested in Zack?” Grandma May asked, “Does Seren know about it? When she’s back, I’ll talk to her and teach her how to deal with love rivals.”When Grandma May was young, she had love rivals too.Zachary resembled his grandfather.“I think Ms. Daniels met Missus in Wiltspoon or somewhere else. Missus was ready to deal with her, but the next day, she discovered that Ms. Daniels had left Wiltspoon the previous night.” “Ms. Daniels? Is it Mr. Daniels’s daughter, Jenna Daniels? Unsurprisingly, she’s interested in Zack. She’s quite capable, and she’s an only child. She should be taking over Daniels Group in the future.“Ms. Daniels is arrogant. Considering her status, she certainly thinks that only men like Zack deserve to be with her. Having said that, Mr. Daniels is a clever man. He won’t allow his daughter to be the other woman. ”Sam stayed silent, not knowing how to respond.That was all he knew. He was clueless about other things.“Ms.
Sam had encountered all kinds of issues. Based on Serenity’s condition, he could straight away tell that she was schemed against.Sam’s expression instantly turned solemn.It was very bold of the person who plotted against Serenity, the wife of Zachary York.What was more, Serenity was at the social function with Zachary. This meant the person had made a move against Serenity in front of Zachary. No wonder Zachary’s face was extremely dark.Grandma May also got a fright when she saw Zachary carrying Serenity into the house hurriedly.“Zack, what’s wrong with Seren?”“Nana, I’ll explain to you later.”Zachary was not surprised to find his nana in his house.As Grandma May was idly living her life, she was always going around. Her grandsons would always welcome her.While Zachary was speaking, he had already hurried upstairs with Serenity in his arms.Grandma May stood at the stairs watching him.Sam walked up to Grandma May and whispered, “Old Mrs. York, Missus might’ve been
Zachary was at a loss for words.“After getting Sam to ask Jim and the rest, I found out about the incident. You both are really unlucky.”Grandma May grinned and asked Zachary, “Do you want me to get you some tonics?”Zachary’s face was slightly red. “No. I’m good.”“Did you meet Shawn?”Zachary fell quiet for a moment before he nodded. “The Lowes realized that my relationship with Seren is stable and that Shawn has gotten over Seren, so they assigned him back to Lowe Enterprise from their subsidiary. He’s now Mr. Lowe’s secretary. He follows Mr. Lowe around every day. Mr. Lowe is the one guiding and teaching him in person.”Lowe Enterprise would eventually be handed over to Shawn. The Lowe’s relatives could stop eyeing the company.Shawn was Mrs. Lowe’s son and Jasmine’s cousin. Before Jasmine became Josh’s wife, the Lowe’s relatives had given up and quit eyeing Lowe Enterprise.Having Josh as his cousin-in-law, Shawn thought that those who dared compete for Lowe Enterprise w
Callum was silent for a moment before he said, “I wanted you to get familiar with the route to my office, which is why I asked you to deliver the flowers yourself.”“Did you ever think about how difficult it was for me as a blind person? It was so hard for me to walk all the way to deliver those flowers,” Camryn retorted.Callum pulled her into an embrace and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Camryn. It was my fault for not thinking it through, which put you through a lot.”Camryn pushed him away, “We have customers constantly coming in. Don’t just hug me out of nowhere. You’re as thick-skinned as a rhinoceros, but I’m not. At that time, I was angry and silently cursed you a hundred thousand times, but your insistence actually did help me learn the way to your office and now, I can find my way there even with my eyes closed.”At that moment, Trenton returned. After Carrie left, he felt a bit down and stayed outside for a while to compose himself before coming back in. He did not wan
Just then, a customer came in wanting to buy a bouquet. Camryn first brought over some sample pictures for the customer to choose from. “No need to choose, just help me arrange a bouquet of roses. I’m going to confess my feelings,” said the young boy, a hint of shyness on his face as he spoke.Camryn smiled gently. “Alright, please wait a moment while I prepare it for you.”Callum assisted by inviting the young boy to sit down and poured him a glass of water.The boy glanced between Camryn and Callum and quietly asked, “Are you and the boss married or dating?”“We’re married. She’s my wife.”The boy expressed his envy. “You both seem very happy.”“Yeah, we are very happy. I love my wife very much, and she loves me too.”Thinking about the girl he was pursuing, the boy’s face lit up with anticipation. “I also have someone I like, and I’m going to confess to her, though I just don’t know if she feels the same. I’m a bit nervous.”Callum, drawing from his own experience, advised
“She hasn’t paid. Stop her.” Camryn was not going to let her get away with it. With a command, her two bodyguards stopped Carrie.Carrie said furiously, “Camryn, I only took a few flowers from you! You have so many flowers here. What's the big deal if I take a few? You still want me to pay? I’m your sister! Don’t you know that blood is thicker than water?!”“Blood might be thicker than water, but business is business. Anyone who buys flowers from me has to pay, including you. Besides, you’ve never treated me like an older sister. You always bring up how we’re sisters when you want to take advantage of me, but that won’t work here. My roses are freshly transported, and since you’re my sister, I’ll let you have them for twenty bucks each. You took about five stems, so just give me a hundred. I won’t rip you off.”Carrie’s expression changed in an instant. “Camryn, why don’t you just rob a bank? You’re charging twenty bucks each? You’re just a thief! Here! I don’t want them! I’d rather
“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
