The man said, “Ms. Daniels has high standards. I wouldn’t dare think about her.”“Ms. Daniels has no experience in love. As long as you coax her well and submit to her, she’ll fall for you because your physique resembles that man. Remember to maintain your figure. That is the secret to your success.”If he gained or lost weight, he would not look like Zachary anymore.“Okay, I understand.”In order to get rich, he would definitely keep himself in shape.When he delivered the takeout to Jenna, Jenna looked at him in a daze. He knew that it was because his figure really was similar to a certain someone whom Jenna admired.Shortly after the phone call, he received fifty thousand dollars. It was the reward given to him by the other party.All he had to do was deliver takeout to Jenna once and show his face, and he got paid fifty grand. The man felt that it was too easy to earn money from rich people....Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Airport, Elisa dragged her suitcase while walking and
However, she was not familiar with him, and their paths rarely crossed.Julian said that he was here to pick her up!This astonished Elisa. She stood there, not knowing what to do.“Ms. Stone, these flowers are for you.”Remy brought a bouquet of flowers to receive Elisa, but so did Julian.Julian kept getting pestered by Andrew and lost a bet to him, so he had no choice but to help Andrew shake off Audrey.He would pretend to have feelings for Elisa and make Remy stressed and nervous. Furthermore, Audrey would not dare set him and Elisa up together the same way she tried for Andrew and Elisa.After all, Audrey could not keep track of Julian. How would she subtly set up the two?Audrey also did not dare to imagine Julian as her son-in-law. She knew very well that her daughter would not get along with him.Julian stuffed the bouquet into Elisa’s arms, and Elisa reflexively wrapped her arms around it.She looked down at the bouquet in her arms, then up at Julian. She finally sn
In order to cure Julian, his father looked everywhere for a girl who was ten years younger than him and arranged for him to have a blind date with those girls. His father told him to pursue those girls and see which one he had a reaction to.A girl ten years younger than him would only be twenty-four this year. That was very young.Julian was the same age as Duncan. They were some of the older bachelors in Wiltspoon high society, but Duncan was a year or two older than him.It was Grandma May’s trusted psychic that told his father that the girl who could make him a real man was ten years younger than him. However, the psychic did not say the girl’s name and appearance, so his father had to look for all the girls aged twenty-four.Julian did not believe that at all.Was there really such an amazing psychic?Julian reached out to pull Remy, and Remy followed him passively.Elisa was speechless.Were they not here to pick her up?Why were they going by themselves and leaving her
Remy smiled wryly. “Mr. Bucham, your actions scare me more than the sky falling down.”“As I’ve mentioned, I just want to pursue Ms. Stone, and I’m competing fairly with you. You have to work harder. If I really manage to win over Ms. Stone, then you’ll only suffer. After all, I have advantages over you. I’m from Wiltspoon.”Remy was speechless.Although Julian did not really like Elisa, he found this matter a bit interesting. It was not a bad idea to use it to kill time when he was bored.“Let’s go.”Julian walked forward again.Remy and Elisa followed him.Elisa comforted Remy. “No matter what he’s planning, he doesn’t really like me. You don’t have to worry.”“How can I not worry? Andrew hasn’t appeared for a while, but now Julian suddenly popped up. Does Mrs. Stone dislike me that much?” Remy felt pressure at the emergence of another strong love rival.He suspected that Julian was another love rival arranged by Audrey.Andrew was already enough to make Remy feel a sense o
The servant went to open the gate.The two cars drove into the Stone family’s large villa.Audrey and Alice only recognized Remy’s car, but not Julian’s car.They rarely even saw Julian himself, let alone his car.When Julian got out of the car and Audrey and Alice walked over, only then did Audrey realize that one of the men was Julian.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Stone.”Julian greeted Audrey with a bright smile when he saw her coming.“Mr. Bucham.”Audrey smiled and said, “What wind blows you here to our doorstep today? What a rare quest. Please, come in.”“Even if you didn’t invite me in, I would have shamelessly entered to ask for a glass of water.”Julian turned around and took out the bouquet he bought for Elisa from the car.The bouquet that Elisa was holding now was from Remy, who also took her suitcase first, so Julian did not have to help her take them.“Mrs. Stone, Alice.”Remy ignored Audrey’s enthusiasm toward Julian and greeted them politely.Julian greeted Alice
Julian’s words and actions left Audrey feeling disbelief.Julian said that he carefully prepared that bouquet with Elisa in mind!What was going on?After Julian did that, he ignored everyone’s reaction and said to Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, I’ll go in for a glass of water. I won’t stay long.”Audrey snapped back to her senses. Regardless of what Julian’s motive was, she first invited him into the house.Alice personally poured a glass of warm water for him.She and Audrey sat together and looked at Julian, who was drinking the warm water. Then, when Elisa and Remy entered, their gazes turned to the couple instead. In short, their gaze flickered between the three people.Audrey was the elder, so Julian had to show her some respect. She could not help but ask for clarification.She asked Julian, “Mr. Bucham, what did you mean by that earlier? Why did you come back with Elisa? You also said that you carefully prepared the bouquet with Elisa in mind?”“I heard that Elisa was returning
Julian put down his glass and left right after telling Audrey he was leaving.He patted Remy’s shoulder as he passed by him.Immediately, Remy told Audrey, “Mrs. Stone, I’ll see Julian out.”He wanted to find out what Julian was up to.Audrey did not say anything and agreed silently.Remy turned around and followed Julian out of the house after he handed the suitcase to Elisa.Once outside, he questioned Julian, “Julian, I know you’re not really going after Elisa. Can you tell me why you’re doing this?”Julian stopped, turned his head to look at him, and laughed. “I can’t tell you right now, but Remy, if you don’t step up and take Elisa soon, someone might steal her away from you.“If you can get engaged to her, you won’t have to worry.”Remy said with a bitter smile, “Do you think I don’t want to? Mrs. Stone is very stubborn. She still doesn’t approve of me and Elisa. We’re both working hard, but no matter what, I won’t give up on Elisa.“Julian, whatever your reasons are fo
Julian was helping Andrew to bear the blame, so it would be natural for Andrew to help him unconditionally.Even without Julian reminding him, Remy would not spread it around. It would not do him any good to circulate the matter either.Remy stood at the entrance of the villa as he watched Julian drive away into the distance.He would go back and seek help from his parents and siblings when his niblings’ one-hundred-day celebration came around.Originally, Remy wanted to rely on his sincerity and genuine feelings to slowly get Audrey to accept him.Remy also told Ben that he was not afraid of hardships. As long as his feelings for Elisa were genuine, Audrey would eventually accept the reality.Remy also felt that pursuing a wife was something he had to do on his own. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not want to ask his parents and siblings for help.If Audrey still refused to accept him, it meant that he had not done well enough yet. Even if he asked his parents and
Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus
Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m
The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa
The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her
Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre
Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc
“I’m not obliged to provide for you, Mr. Clark.”Darren would not give Hunter money. He also felt Hunter was trying to obtain some information through the call, not money. Hunter said furiously, “Aren’t you going to marry Caroline? You’ll be my son-in-law in the future. It’s like being half a son to me. Since you’re my son, you should look after your father. Quick. Give me the money.“Otherwise, I won’t let you marry my daughter.”Darren said without hesitation, “Ms. Caroline will decide for her marriage.“If we do get married, she’ll be the one in charge of the finances. I don’t have money.”“Fletcher! Are you a man? Can’t you revitalize the spirit of the Fisher family’s sons-in-law? You saw how I ended up like this. I didn’t have access to the finances and didn’t have money. I’ve been under strict control ever since I married into the family.“That was how I ended up in this miserable state. I’m telling you, the Fisher women are evil. It’s best if you don’t marry Caroline.
“Why would a husband have an affair if his wife could do well?”Ellie was exasperated. She ended the call without hesitation. “Old bastard. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. All your sons cheated on their wives because they have a perverted father like you.“I would’ve divorced Jason if it weren’t for my children being too young. Look at Emma now. She even received half of Adrian’s assets and doesn’t have to look after her children herself. How relaxed her life must be.”The wealth Belinda had left behind was sufficient to afford the children’s education. Ellie still had feelings for Jason. Otherwise, she would have gotten a divorce upon knowing he cheated on her. She would not have reconciled with him with just a little coaxing and advice from her family. Since Jason did not return home the entire night, Hunter guessed his sons’ plan had failed. As he had expected, Caroline was not an easy target. After all, she was Belinda’s biological daughter. Belind
Since the call ended abruptly, Adrian’s girlfriend, Irene, muttered, “Is Mr. Clark unsatisfied with me?”She was almost twenty years younger than Adrian. If he had not been rich and willing to spend his money on her, she would not have wanted to be his lover. Adrian promised to marry her after he was done fighting a legal battle against his sister and claiming his inheritance. He would make her the missus of the Clark family. As for the three children he had with his ex-wife, he had told Irene not to worry about them.Since his mother had left some money behind for her grandchildren, he did not have to pay child support. Irene knew Adrian used to be a young master of the Fishers and that Madam Fisher was extremely wealthy. She did not expect Belinda to be helping her son take care of his children even after her death. Considering Adrian would be able to receive a huge portion of inheritance in the future, Irene decided to be with him. If she did get married to him, and gave
