Kevin was much more cunning than Zachary.Kevin’s car was parked horizontally at the entry of her villa.Hayden’s motorcade was forced to stop. They could not proceed further.When Hayden’s car appeared in Kevin’s sight, he got out of the car while holding a large bouquet of roses.It was different from the bouquet that morning. This time, he had someone make a money bouquet with 50- and 100-dollar bills.That was because Hayden gave an order that no florist in Jensburg was allowed to sell roses to Kevin.Kevin called Wildridge Manor to help, but there was no way they could send the flowers so quickly.Since that was the case, he had to use a money bouquet instead.Besides, he already bought out all the roses in the flower shops in the morning. His men cleared out the flowers even from shops located in the suburbs.They had not replenished their stock yet.Kevin leaned against his car, holding the money bouquet in both hands and looked at Hayden’s car with a smile.He was dr
Hayden’s bodyguards got out of the car.They went forward, but they could not deal with Kevin.Kevin’s identity was different. Back then, all Hayden’s fans could do was persuade her, but they could not be directly dragged away.“Mr. Kevin.”A bodyguard said politely, “Mr. Kevin, please move your car so that our young masters can drive their car in.”Another bodyguard requested respectfully, “Mr. Kevin, please stop pestering Mr. Hayden. He’s not interested in men.”Even if Hayden were interested in men, Kevin would not be the one.Seemingly, Hayden was not interested in women either.The bodyguards had stayed by Hayden’s side for many years. From their observation, Hayden had not shown interest in any women.Kevin acted as though he could not hear what the bodyguards said. He knocked on Hayden’s car window, signaling her to either get out of the car or press the window button.“Mr. Kevin, Mr. Kevin.”Hugh scurried over. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Kevin by the shoul
“Exactly, Mr. Kevin. My brother isn’t interested in you, but I am. Why don’t you settle for me? My brother and I are twins, and we look alike. Being together with me is the same.”Hugh came over with a cheeky grin.After receiving a glare from Hayden, Hugh touched his nose and stopped laughing.Kevin fixed his dark eyes on Hayden’s handsome face. He pictured her having long hair and wearing a female outfit. No doubt, she would be stunning. She would be the most stunning woman he had ever met.“Mr. Hayden, everyone has the right to love. I think you’re my future partner. I’m interested in you and would like to woo you. I know you can’t accept my love instantly. It’s okay. As time passes, you’ll be used to it.“I’ll let time and action do the talking. I’m serious about our relationship. My love for you won’t change, and I’ll remain loyal.” Kevin darted a glance at Hugh and said meaningfully, “Even if someone bears a strong resemblance to you, he won’t be able to replace you in my he
Upon entering the house, the housekeeper offered Kevin a seat on the couch.“Mr. Kevin, what would you like to drink?” the housekeeper asked courteously.As Hayden said, Kevin was a guest. Therefore, the housekeeper had to treat Kevin as a VIP. “Please give me a glass of warm water. Thank you.”“Alright. Please wait a moment, Mr. Kevin.”The housekeeper turned around and walked away. She poured a glass of water for Kevin.When Hugh came in, there were already fruits and pastries on the coffee table. Hugh did not need the housekeeper to serve him. He took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator on his own. After that, he uncapped the bottle and took a sip, which cooled him.“The weather is warm. After taking a sip of the cold drink, it feels refreshing.”The housekeeper said, “Mr. Hugh, Mr. Hayden is going to criticize you when she sees this.”“But why did she put a few bottles of my favorite drinks in the refrigerator? Aren’t they for me? I don’t drink much anyway. I only n
“I’m absolutely clear about Hayden’s preferences. Having said that, why should I let you know? If I do, it means I betray him. I won’t betray him.”Kevin burst out laughing.He was not expecting to fish for Hayden’s preferences from Hugh.It might be easier to get the answer from Donald and Sophia.Hugh might seem cheerful and simple, but he was very protective of Hayden.“Mr. Hayden went upstairs once he came in, huh?”Kevin placed the money bouquet by his side. He took the glass of water and took a sip. Then, he raised his head and looked toward the second floor.“Hayden will be attending a party later. He’s used to taking a shower and getting changed before going out. Then, he’ll eat something and bring along two bottles of wine.”Kevin said, “Why would she bring along two bottles of wine? Are the locals here in the habit of bringing along two bottles of wine when they go to parties?”Kevin thought it was normal for Hayden to take a shower before she went out. She might be
Kevin tilted his head and looked at Hugh before he asked, “What benefit do I get for buttering you up? Are you going to matchmake me with Hayden? If so, I’ll butter you up nicely.”Hugh responded, “Even if I would like to help you that way, I don’t dare to do it because Hayden will beat me to death. In case you didn’t know, I grew up being punched by Hayden a lot. He bullied me every day. He might seem educated, but it’s just a facade.“He has a tendency to act with violence. Beware of being domestically abused by him.”Kevin said, “Coincidentally, I have a tendency to violence too. I’m looking for a partner who can fight with me. When we have conflict in the future, we can get into a fight regardless of who’s right and who’s wrong. The party that loses is the one at fault.”Hugh was at a loss for words once again.Kevin’s mind was different from those of Hayden and Hugh.Seeing Hugh’s speechless face, Kevin patted Hugh’s shoulder and said with a laugh, “Hugh, I won’t buy it. You
“I have a tight schedule. I’m too busy to be involved with you, Mr. Kevin. If you’re hungry, you can eat here. If you’re not, please leave together with your bouquet.”“As I said, give it to me…”Having met Hayden’s glare, Hugh did not dare to speak more.Kevin immediately sat beside Hayden and said shamelessly, “I’m hungry. Let me eat with you. I won’t force you to accept this bouquet. As long as I’m in Jensburg, I’ll give you a bouquet every day until you’re willing to accept it.”“Are you going to stop giving me bouquets of flowers if I accept this?”“No. After you accept this, I’ll definitely continue.”Hayden pursed her lips, pretending that she had not said it.The housekeeper brought out the dishes from the kitchen.After serving the dishes, the housekeeper brought two bottles of famous wine and placed them on the table. She said, “Mr. Hayden, these are what you wanted. Remember to bring them along.”“Okay. Help me to pack them in a bag.”The housekeeper went to get a
Hayden’s entourage arrived at Jensburg Hotel shortly.There were a few parking spots in front of Jensburg Hotel that were exclusive to Hayden. No one else was allowed to use the parking bays. All the guests had to park their cars in the basement parking lot regardless of their identity.Kevin took advantage of Hayden’s identity and parked at the hotel entrance, where a number of beautiful women stood.All of them were decked out in stunning gowns and jewelry. They were standing at the entrance, forming unique and splendid scenery.Once Kevin got out of the car, those beautiful women started walking toward him.What was going on?Kevin stared at the beautiful women who were heading toward him. He was not involved with any of those beautiful women in Jensburg.“Mr. Queen.”Upon hearing that, Kevin let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that those pretty ladies were not approaching him but his future wife.Uh, those women were Kevin’s love rivals, were they not?Kevin counted t
However, they had heard that this man had previously pursued Imogen, and those who had a good memory and had seen Dylan before, had already recognized him.When Imogen seemed a bit interested, this man then said he did not love her and went to pursue someone else. After failing to win over that person, he backtracked to pursue their vice president once more. This behavior left many people with a bad impression of Dylan.What did he take their vice president for?It was worth noting that Imogen was the chairman’s niece and the president’s sister. The chairman treated his own daughter and niece the same, and in the Doyle family, she was very much favored by her elders. The Doyles were one of the top families in Huntington, and as part of it, Imogen did not have to worry about finding a husband.Dylan ignored the looks people gave him. His gaze fixed on the cars coming out of the Davidson Group building, afraid that if he blinked, Imogen would pass him by.He watched the employees le
Duncan called Serenity to inform her that he was taking Sonny to the Lewises’ for dinner and would send him back later. Naturally, Serenity had no objections. With her nephew being well taken care of by Duncan, Serenity had time to go shopping with Jasmine. Jasmine was buying baby supplies as she was eight months pregnant and it was high time to prepare for the baby’s arrival. Watching Jasmine pick up items for her baby made Serenity feel the itch, and she ended up buying a ton of stuff for both her baby and Sonny.In the evening, Zachary and Josh came to pick up their wives.They both managed to cancel their appointments, leaving the task of handling work engagements to Callum and other senior executives. The two men who were once the busiest had now become the ones who most enjoyed slacking off.“Why did you buy so much? Where’s Sonny?” Zachary asked as he walked toward Serenity when he got out of the car. He saw his wife and her bodyguards carrying a bunch of shopping bags. T
Olivia cursed Duncan one last time. “You won’t have a good ending bullying the weak!” she spat before she was pulled away by her husband.Duncan watched them leave, his expression cold. “Dunc, don't be angry. My grandmom is always like that. When Lucas wanted my toys before, I cried and refused to let him take them. My mom wouldn’t let him either, but she always scolded my mom. I still remember that.”Sonny could vaguely remember some things from when he was two years old. It had only been a little over two years since then, after all.As he comforted Duncan, he gently touched Duncan's face, speaking softly, “Aunt Ser says we shouldn’t get too angry. If we get too angry, we’ll grow old faster. I don’t want you to get old, Dunc. I want you to stay just like this forever.“Dunc, please don’t be mad anymore. I won’t eat the fried chicken my grandmom buys for me anymore.”Duncan could not help but feel both amused and heartbroken for both Sonny and Liberty, who had been mistreated b
“I don’t want to. I want to be with Dunc.”Sonny did not want his grandmother to carry him. He turned to Olivia and said, “Aunt Lili treated me when I was sick and she said my throat got infected because I ate fried chicken, and that’s why I had a fever. She told me not to eat fried chicken anymore.“Aunt Ser also said that when I feel better, she’ll fry it for me herself. It’s safer than the fried chicken bought from outside, but I still can only eat a little bit, not too much.“Grandmom, I don’t want to eat fast food bought from outside anymore. You guys shouldn’t blame Dunc. He’s really good to me and if you scold him, I won’t like you anymore.”Sonny did not really have any affection for his grandparents. They had always taken his cousin Lucas’s side. Whatever toys he had or food he liked, Olivia would take them away to give to Lucas. He did not like Lucas, and he did not like Grandmom either. Even though his grandparents were nicer to him now, Sonny still spent very little t
Olivia immediately retracted her hand when she saw Duncan’s cold glance. Not daring to forcefully take Sonny from him, she awkwardly smiled and said to Duncan, “Mr. Lewis, can we have a word with Sonny?”“You can ask Sonny. If he’s happy to, that’s fine,” Duncan said coldly, giving Luke’s bag a glance before addressing both of them. “Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Sonny had a fever yesterday, which the doctor said was due to a throat infection. You two took him to eat a lot of fried chicken and fries that day, which caused the infection.“Today, you brought him more fast food. If Sonny eats that, he might have a fever again. Please try to avoid giving him such heavy foods in the future.”Olivia immediately became anxious, reaching out to touch Sonny’s forehead. “Has Sonny recovered from the fever? Are you still feeling unwell? Why didn’t you take a day off from preschool?“It’s fine to do that, you know. There’s no need to rush back to school. Plus, Sonny doesn’t eat much. We did take him to
“I don’t understand what Liberty is thinking, leaving Sonny in Wiltspoon. When she got Sonny’s custody, she should have taken him with her,” Olivia muttered.She really wanted her son to file another lawsuit and regain custody of Sonny, but out of consideration for Sonny’s future, she could not do that. Plus, her son would not listen to her anyway.“Liberty went to Jensburg. She’s probably still dealing with a lot of trouble over there and we don’t understand the situation. If she could, she would have taken Sonny with her. She values Sonny’s education a lot, and Sonny has been well-educated under her care,” Luke spoke more objectively.Although he did not like Duncan, he could see that Duncan really cared for Sonny. Sonny was very attached to Serenity because she had raised him. That was natural, and it probably had nothing to do with whether Duncan was a good stepfather or not. Luke did not say this out loud to avoid being scolded by his wife for siding with Duncan.“Here comes
Moreover, Patrick was still alive, and he had been Tiara’s assistant. Plus, the crime of Belinda killing her sisters to rise to power had been exposed to the world and no matter how one thought about it, it was impossible for Belinda's children to take over the position.“Dad, I just can’t accept it! I just don’t agree! Even if I can’t get the position of the head of the family, Liberty can forget about taking away our positions in Fisher Enterprise!“And if Caroline doesn’t divide the huge fortune left by Mom with us, she can forget about taking it all. If worse comes to worst, I’ll go down with her. If I die, my children can inherit Mom’s fortune, but Caroline’s unmarried and childless! She stands to lose the most if she dies.”Adrian stood up and turned to leave once he finished speaking. It was clear he did not want to continue the conversation with his father and did not want to listen to his advice.Justin and Jason looked at each other, then at their father, who was tremblin
The older generation of the Fisher family had indeed accepted the gifts sent by the Clark brothers. They felt that they had been mistreated by Belinda, so they viewed the benefits given by Belinda’s sons as compensation from her. However, they had not agreed to do what the Clark brothers wanted—to solicit their support. Without concrete evidence, what could the Clark brothers do to them? Besides, it was quite normal for juniors to give their elders gifts during the holiday season, was it not?Hunter could not help but slap his son’s arm. He scolded, “How many times have I told you, and you still won’t listen? My words just go in one ear and out the other.“Though you lot and Caroline are siblings, you’re still Clarks, not Fishers. The Fisher family’s rules have been in place for over a hundred years and won’t change just because of you. If they could change, it would have happened long ago. Do you really think it would have taken this long?“Those old fogies are from the Fisher fa
At the sound of a car, Hunter, who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, instructed the helper who was taking care of him, “Go outside and see if the young master is back.”The helper went out. Soon, Hunter saw his three sons walking toward him one after another.Seeing this, Hunter could not help but furrowed his brow, feeling a headache coming on as he pinched the space between his brows. He suddenly understood why his late wife would become so impatient and frustrated with their sons—they were really troublesome.He had tried to reason with them, advising them to preserve their strength, to stop hoping to stay on at Fisher Enterprise, and to return here where they could still live well, but they simply refused to listen.When they accompanied him back to Ashford during Christmas, he thought they had come to their senses, but when the new year started and Fisher Enterprise resumed operations, they eagerly hurried back.It made Hunter so angry that he scolded them at home f
