“I got it for ten grand cheaper than the price that you bought it at.”Hayden was speechless and thought, ‘Well, I guess ten thousand is also money.’“Mr. Queen, there’s something else I would like to ask for your help.”Kevin stared at Hayden’s handsome face and thought, ‘If I were a woman, I would fall in love with Hayden too. She is really charming. I wonder how beautiful she will be when she has long hair and puts on women’s clothes and makeup…’“Mr. York, please tell me. If I can be of help, I will definitely lend you a hand,” Hayden said politely.However, she thought Kevin was a bit troublesome.Although this was Jensburg, which was not the York family’s territory, York Corporation also had a lot of businesses here. Kevin had also worked in Jensburg for several years and had plenty of connections. Hayden did not believe that Kevin could not find anyone else to help him.“Since I bought the house, it needs to be renovated. So, I need a design company to help with the inter
Hayden immediately took out her phone and wanted to call Kevin. However, after some thought, she gave up and put her phone on the table.She had not gone out for a long time to relax, and it would be nice if someone accompanied her to go horse riding.After sitting quietly for a while, Hayden picked up the phone again and called her twin brother. When Hugh answered the phone, Hayden said, “Hugh, help me find out the real purpose of Kevin York’s visit to Jensburg this time.”Hugh instinctively said, “What other purpose could he have to come to Jensburg? His family also has businesses in Jensburg. Isn’t it normal for him to come here?”“It seems normal, but I have a feeling that it’s not.”Hayden felt that Kevin was deliberately approaching her.“How is it not? Hayden, is he plotting against us?” Hugh was still convinced by his sister’s words. They were twins, and his sister was ten minutes older than him. However, Hayden seemed to be ten years older than him because she was much m
“However, you’re so good-looking and even more imposing when dressed up as a man. Those young ladies in Jensburg who have seen you in person will be mesmerized and look at you in admiration. Who knows, maybe Kevin is a homosexual that has a crush on you, thinking that you’re a handsome guy.”Hayden bore an irritated expression.“Can you help me find out Kevin’s intentions right away? Oh, and can you inquire about his personal affairs to see if he is a homo, Hugh?” “Okay, I’ll go and find out now. Don’t think too much about it. Maybe Kevin just wants to establish a good relationship with our family. You are the head of the Queen family, and all problems can be solved if he forms a good relationship with you.”After a moment of silence, Hayden said, “There are not too many conflicts between our companies. It’s normal for conflicts to occur between rivaling businesses. Kevin won’t try to please me or get close to me because of it.”“Anyway, Kevin won’t suspect your gender, so just r
“Where’s Duncan now?” Zachary asked with concern. “I’ll go see him.”“Mr. Duncan is alone in the backyard, and he doesn’t allow anyone to go there. He said he wants to be alone for a while and doesn’t want to be disturbed.”Zachary hesitated for a moment but still followed the housekeeper into the house. After greeting Duncan’s parents, he stood up and said to them, “Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, I'll go find Duncan."Derek nodded. “Go ahead. You’re his best friend. He might be willing to see you.”“Zack, please talk some sense into Duncan, and tell him to calm down. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he wanted to stand up and walk by himself. He couldn’t do rehabilitation yet, but he was anxiously eager to start.”Distressed, Corey felt worried and added, “I’m afraid that if he’s so impatient, it might backfire on him.”Zachary agreed. “I’ll talk to Duncan.“I'm going to look for Duncan in the backyard.”Zachary walked out of the main house toward the direction of the backy
Zachary had no choice but to push Duncan to a cool place and told him, “You can’t be here alone, Duncan. It’s getting hotter, you’ll get heatstroke in this scorching sun.”Duncan wiped the sweat off his face and replied, “It was still shady when I got here.”However, as time passed, the sun gradually moved toward a spot that exposed Duncan to direct sunlight.“I have water and napkins in a bag attached to my wheelchair,” said Duncan.Zachary quickly unhooked the bag behind the wheelchair and took out a bottle of water, along with some napkins, and handed them over to Duncan. Zachary nagged, “You have to pick a better time to practice your walking. Preferably at dusk or dawn, when the sun is not scorching. It’ll be cooler and more suitable for your practice.”The trees in the backyard made a pleasant shade, which made it a cool and refreshing place to hang around.“Also, you shouldn’t come out alone. No one will know if something happens.”After Duncan wiped off his sweat and dra
Duncan questioned, “...is it Grandma May?”If this were someone else, with Zachary’s possessiveness, to whoever dared abduct his wife, he would have already wreaked havoc long ago and would not have the mood to see him.Zachary said with a wry smile, “Who else could it be? Only my nana dares treat me like this.”Even his parents would not treat him in this way.Duncan laughed. “You must have stepped on your nana’s toes for her to treat you like this. Grandma May knows how and where to hit to hurt us the most.”Like Zachary, his weak spot was the woman they loved, and for him was Liberty.Grandma May told him that if he really let go of Liberty, she would immediately help Liberty find a good man and make him regret his decision.Duncan did not dare to say anything after hearing Grandma May. It was because he knew it was not that he did not love Liberty anymore, it was just that he was disabled now. He was worried he could not give Liberty happiness, so he treated her harshly.
Duncan said, “I'll go to her new restaurant when it opens.”He could not walk, but that would not stop him from sending her a floral basket to wish her business success.“Liberty will definitely treat you for dinner.”Duncan sighed, “But Liberty doesn’t love me, she still sees me as a friend. She took care of me in the hospital because she felt indebted to me. She tried to repay the debt by helping me. Other than that, my mother also paid her a daily salary of ten thousand dollars.”“Mrs. Lewis paid Liberty a daily salary of ten thousand dollars, but she didn’t take a penny. She only said that to give herself a reason to argue with you.”Duncan was not surprised. He said, “She does not want to owe me a favor. She took this opportunity to repay me. If she took the money, she would feel like she was always indebted to me. I already knew she would not take it. She insisted on presenting herself as someone who works for money.”“Zachary, how about you accompany me to visit Liberty's
Callum casually asked, “Where’s Serenity?”Camryn answered, “She’s probably away on a business trip. Serenity said she had to go on a business trip these two days.”If it were not for her eyes, Camryn would often have to go on business trips too. Since Dalton would always come over now, she did not have to travel.Camryn wanted to go to the office very badly. Considering that she was blind, it would be troublesome for her to travel to a faraway place, unless she took a private jet. Neither did she have one nor would she want to use her future in-laws’ private jet.Zachary did not give an explanation.He let Camryn assume that his wife was on a business trip.When his wife was not at home, he felt miserable as time seemed to creep by. Even after a long time, the sky had not turned dark and the sun was still high in the sky. The sun was not even at its highest point.They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”.This saying is absolutely true.Zachary was experiencing it.Whe
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
