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
Zachary accepted the paper and said, “No need. Just pick the closest date.” He had long prepared the betrothal gifts for Serenity. His elders wanted to add on, which was why he had yet to send the gifts over.After looking at the few dates his nana had picked, Zachary decided on the closest date. Once the betrothal gifts were sent over, it was time to prepare for the wedding.He wanted to hold a grand wedding for Serenity to impress the whole of Wiltspoon. He wanted his wedding to surpass that of Josh and Jasmine.He wanted everyone to know that Serenity was his wife and that he was taken. Hopefully, those undesirable admirers would not come to him anymore. He would not fall in love with anyone else he met.“Are you and Seren doing fine lately?” Grandma May asked in a seemingly casual manner.“We’re doing great. Seren and I are always fine. She’s been quite busy lately and always neglects me. If I hadn’t reminded her about my presence, she would’ve forgotten about me.“You do
“Your undesirable admirers…”“Nana, I don’t have any. Seren is the only person in my heart. No matter how young or pretty other women are, I only have eyes for Seren.”Grandma May nodded. “I trust that my grandson whom I raised isn’t a merciless person. I too believe that Serenity still loves you. She’ll protect her man in the face of love rivals.“If she doesn’t bother to protect you, it means that she doesn’t love you anymore.”Zachary pulled a long face despite knowing that Grandma May was telling the truth.Serenity was not the kind who would perceive love as her everything. If he had the slightest intention of having an affair, Serenity would surely break off her relationship with him. She would willingly let another person have him and not bother to squabble with the other party.As Serenity said, if he could be snatched away, then it was not true love. If that was the case, what was the point of persuading him to stay? If she could keep him by her side physically but not m
Grandma May said unconcernedly, “Why should I be worried about Kevin? He’s already panicking. Before I came here, I received a call from him asking me for a favor, and I helped him. I’ve prepared the cabbages, but am I supposed to slice and boil them before feeding the pigs?”Zachary’s face turned dark.At the mention of cabbages, Grandma May hinted that her grandsons resembled pigs.Had Grandma May seen good-looking pigs like her grandsons?She always described them as pigs.Grandma May yawned and rose to her feet. “I’m sleepy. I’ll go to bed now. You should sleep early.”“Good night, Nana.”Grandma May was ready to head upstairs to rest. After taking a few steps forward, she paused to turn around and ask Zachary, “After Duncan was discharged from the hospital, does he need Liberty to look after him? Duncan is just stubborn. He’s in love with Liberty, yet he’s pretending as though he’s able to get over her.“If he remains stubborn and continues to fake it, I’ll matchmake Liber
Sonny asked Liberty, “Mom, is it okay? I want to stay at Grandaunt’s house for one night. Tomorrow, you can come pick me up and take me to Dad’s house.”After receiving a call from her former mother-in-law, Liberty had already asked Sonny after he woke up that morning if he wanted to stay with the Brown family for a couple of days, to spend time with his grandparents. Tomorrow, she would take him to the Browns.Liberty smiled, “You can stay the night if you want. Tomorrow, I’ll come pick you up and take you to your dad’s house for lunch.”She planned to call Hank soon and let him know that she was not taking Sonny there early in the morning, so the Browns would not have to get up early to wait.Sonny jumped up happily and said to Audrey, “Grandaunt Audrey, my mom agreed! I’m going to stay here tonight and play with Elias."With that, he rushed upstairs. Elias was getting cuter. When he talked to him, the baby would respond with cooing sounds, which was really fun.“Aunt Audrey, I
After a long while, Jessica finally asked, “You have swollen eyes because Liberty is getting remarried? You’ve lost your chance to remarry her.”“Jessica, I’ve never thought about remarrying Liberty. That’s impossible. I’ll wait for you to be released. No matter how many years it takes, I will wait for you,” Hank quickly explained. “It’s true that I’m upset that Liberty is remarried, but it’s mainly because of my son.“In the future, Sonny will call someone else ‘Dad’, and I’m not around him often. I’m afraid that one day, he’ll only end up closer to his other dad and not me, his biological father.”Jessica quietly looked at him for a moment before coldly replied, “If you have time, you should spend more time with Sonny. Even a biological father and son need to nurture their relationship.”“Who did Liberty marry?” Jessica asked. “Is it Duncan Lewis?”“Who else could it be? It’s Duncan. He kept Liberty close, never letting anyone else near her. Whenever any other man got close to L
Why was he crying? He knew the reason deep down but could not bring himself to say it out loud. Instead, he simply slumped over the steering wheel and cried his heart out. After he was done crying, he finally started the car and left the city hall, heading to the prison to visit Jessica.When Jessica saw him, she noticed his eyes were red and swollen. Thinking something bad had happened in his family, she immediately grabbed the phone and asked, “Hank, why are you crying? Your eyes are all swollen. Did something happen to your parents?”She still harbored hatred toward Olivia and Chelsea, hoping something would happen to that mother-daughter pair. Ideally, she wanted the old woman to face judgment in hell.Back when she stabbed Hank and Chelsea came to the rescue, Jessica felt she should have made sure to stab Chelsea to death. It was because of Chelsea’s incitement that she and Hank ended up like this. The two women had torn apart Hank and Liberty’s marriage, and now that Liberty’s
Liberty did not need them to push her husband. She continued to push Duncan toward the car, and only then did the bodyguards help him into the vehicle. Soon, the luxurious car carrying the family of three drove away from the city hall and merged into the street traffic, gradually disappearing into the distance.It was not until the car was out of sight that the car parked not far from the city hall slowly began to move.The driver was Hank.He would not stop Liberty and Duncan from registering their marriage and neither did he have the right nor the standing to do so. He had intended to take customers but had not received any orders, and without any particular destination in mind, he ended up at the city hall by chance, arriving before Liberty and Duncan.However, his car was parked farther away, and many other cars were occupying spaces near the city hall. After the divorce, Liberty no longer paid much attention to him and did not notice that Hank’s car was already there, waiting.
Liberty was his wife now.Sonny was completely confused. He had come here with his mother and Dunc. Everyone here was so friendly and smiled at them as they congratulated Liberty and Duncan. Why, though, did they not congratulate him?“Mom, Dunc is smiling so brightly. What’s so special about that paper? Mom, can I see it?” Sonny asked, looking up at Liberty, curious about what was so interesting about the marriage license that made Dunc smile so widely.Liberty glanced at Duncan and teased him, “Duncan, the corners of your mouth are almost reaching your ears.”“I’m happy. Very happy,” Duncan responded with an even brighter smile.The weather today was cloudy, though occasionally, the sun took a peek while sometimes it became overcast. Still, the power of the sun today certainly could not compare to the beam of Duncan’s smile.Liberty handed the marriage license to Sonny to view.Sonny eagerly took it and started reading it. Some of the words he recognized, but overall, he did n
“That brat is already at that age and still doesn’t think about settling down. Every time we pressure him, he hides away.” When Audrey talked about Anthony, who did not want to get married, she could not help but feel a headache coming. Out of her three children, the one who worried her the most was Anthony.Serenity walked over to Audrey and affectionately linked arms with her, smiling, “Aunt Audrey, you don’t need to worry. Anthony’s a good man. When the right person comes along, he’ll get married.”“Let’s hope so—he’s not young anymore. Children are always a worry, aren’t they? There’s always something to be concerned about. What about Sonny? Why didn’t he come along?” Audrey asked. “Didn’t you come from your sister’s place?” “Sonny went with my sister and Duncan to the city hall. They said they wanted to go as a family of three,” Serenity replied.Audrey laughed, “Duncan doesn’t mind bringing along a little third wheel, huh? Well, that’s fine. They’re going to be a family, aft
Zachary said those words, but in his heart, he was thinking that he had to keep an eye on the younger generations of the major families in Wiltspoon, particularly those who stood out. He would make note of any promising boys, so that when he had a daughter, he could arrange for that boy to grow up alongside her. If they became childhood sweethearts, she would not have to marry far away. Of course, once he had a daughter, he would not want her to get married too early. He would still be fine even if she was unmarried at thirty.Zachary drove his beloved wife to the Stone residence. Audrey was walking in the yard with Patrick. The weather was nice today, and the temperature had risen a few degrees. Patrick had been ordered by Audrey to stay inside and avoid the cold wind, but he was now finally able to get out and walk around.Elisa had gone to Annenburg with Remy to celebrate Christmas. Anthony, afraid of his parents’ constant nagging to settle down, had bought a plane ticket abroad
“Duncan is a good man. Being with him, you will definitely be happy, Liberty. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, growing old together, and may you have children soon.” After a pause, Hank added, “Or maybe don't have children, I'm afraid that if you have your own kids, you might not love Sonny as much.”He was still quite selfish. He hoped that Sonny would be Liberty’s only child. As long as Liberty and Duncan did not have children, the fortune and empire Duncan built would eventually become his son's legacy. Then again, thinking about Liberty’s current status, Hank sighed quietly, knowing that his selfish prayer would never come true. Liberty would definitely have another child. She would need a daughter to take her place and eventually take over the Fisher matriarchy in Jensburg.What if Duncan had a biological child? Would he still treat Sonny well?Hank was actually quite worried that if Duncan had his own child, he might not treat Sonny well. That was why, when he last s
“Go cook some food. It's rare for Hank to be resting at home, so don't say those unpleasant things in front of him. Honestly, if he hadn’t gone after Jessica, she wouldn't have ended up like this. As a married man, Hank shouldn't have pursued a young, innocent girl in the first place. Everything that happened to him is his own fault—it’s all self-inflicted.”Ever since Hank divorced Liberty, and after seeing how Liberty had turned her life around and was living a better life, Luke had changed a lot because of regret. It made him realize many things and change a lot.Olivia opened her mouth as if to say something, but said nothing in the end. After a heavy sigh, she stood up and went to the kitchen to prepare food for her husband and son.In the past, when Liberty was still part of the Brown family, every time Olivia came to her son’s house, she never had to cook. She only had to mention what she wanted to eat, and Liberty would prepare it for her. All she had to do was eat and still
