Married at First Sight Chapter 1953
Kevin’s reply threw Hayden for a loop. It was unexpected for the question to come from Kevin. Hayden was right to suspect that Kevin knew she was a woman!How did he find out? Still, Hayden managed to pull herself together in a second. She firmly uttered, “I am a man. I can tell you straight in the face that I am a man.” She had been one for more than two decades. Hayden believed Kevin would not be able to read her tell. If Kevin could pick a flaw out of her disguise, Hayden could always improve the façade. Kevin kept a smile on his face. He walked around the coffee table to get to Hayden. Kevin looked at Hayden from a standing position. Not liking the fact that he was looking down at her from a height, Hayden stood up and met him at eye level. It appeared she and Kevin were of similar height. Truth be told, Kevin was slightly taller than her. “You said you’re a man, Hayden. Would you dare to take your clothes off in front of me?” Kevin leaned in, getting a l

Kevin took his time in removing his belt as he replied, “You’re not happy to take off your clothes to prove that you’re a man, but I’m happy to do so.” With Kevin close to pulling his pants down, Hayden retorted with a grimace, “I apologize. That came out wrong. You’re a real man.” Kevin was only trying to spook her. It was not like he was really going to take off his pants in front of her. Now that Hayden had apologized, Kevin fastened his belt and said, “I’m more likely to go for it than you are. You act with integrity and transparency. As a matter of fact, you’re a doer, but you seem to overthink and dawdle at taking off your clothes like a woman.” Hayden scowled. “Don’t tell me you’re a woman, Mr. Hayden.” “I can say the same about you.” Kevin chuckled. “I will cling to you more if I’m a woman. I’ll be all over you until you take me as your wife.” “I’m not interested in you. Please don’t follow me around. You are a massive distraction to my life and work.” Hay

Hayden responded, “Your name will be on the list of wedding invitations when the day comes. You will be my best man, but I expect a huge wedding gift.” Kevin laughed. “Of course. I won’t forget the wedding gift. My only concern is that I may never have the chance to become your best man, but I can be your groom. You can keep all the wedding gifts though.” With Hayden gritting her teeth in rage and tempted to kick him out, Kevin happily took off. Something good came out of tonight. One thing was for sure, his nana did not lie to him about Hayden’s gender. She was a woman. Once Kevin was gone, Hayden slammed the door with a loud bang. Hayden was not in a hurry to get downstairs in case others might catch her together with Kevin. There would only be gossip if they were seen together. She sat back down on the sofa, sinking her back against the seat. Furrowing her brows, Hayden fell deep into thought. How did Kevin know she was a woman?Ring, ring, ring…The phone rang.
Married at First Sight Chapter 1956
Sophia was shocked. She anxiously followed up with questions, “Kevin knows you’re a woman? How did he find out?” It was the first time anybody ever doubted that her daughter was not a man. Once the shock subsided, Sophia was hit with a wave of a pleasant surprise. For Kevin to suspect her daughter’s gender, it could only mean that Kevin believed Hayden was a woman. It was probably why Kevin was wooing Hayden now. In that case, Sophia’s daughter had a chance to marry into the York family so long as Kevin had no interest in the wife candidate Old Mrs. York picked for him. Sophia was on a roller coaster of emotions. Getting a headache, Hayden replied, “I don’t know what started the suspicion, but I’m certain that I gave away nothing.” The longest time she ever spent with Kevin was over the weekend. Oftentimes, it was only an occasional encounter that was kept brief. They had not hung out a lot. Other people who had been in Hayden’s company daily never suspected she w

Sophia said, “Yeah. The Yorks raised outstanding children.” Since Kevin was wooing her daughter and had his doubts about her daughter’s gender, Sophia finally saw hope again. Sophia had always admired Kevin. “Donald, what’s your take about Kevin seeing through Hay’s disguise? She’s been playing a man for over two decades. I wouldn’t believe she’s a woman if she didn’t come from my womb. Hay puts on a convincing show.” “What did Hay say?” “Apparently, Kevin had a gut feeling that she wasn’t a man.” Donald gleefully praised Kevin once more. “The boy has a discerning eye and a keen intuition. He’s definitely raised well.” Sophia had no words. “Honey, it doesn’t matter how Kevin saw through Hay’s disguise. The only thing that matters is that Kevin doesn’t swing the other way, and he’s pursuing our daughter. I’m in favor of this son-in-law.” “Me too.” Sophia grew certain that Kevin would make a good son-in-law. Although nothing concrete had happened between Kevin and H

Hayden callously turned down the offer. “I don’t want to drink with you, Ms. Celine. Excuse me.”Surrounded by her security detail, Hayden walked past Celine. As Hayden brushed past, Celine cried out to Hayden, but Hayden refused to give her the time of the day. Hayden simply walked on. Celine stamped her foot in rage. Although the Fishers were not the wealthiest in Jensburg, the family was in the circle of the rich and powerful. People would always suck up to her every time she attended social events. Celine was no short of suitors, but these men were merely on their parents’ bankroll and had nothing to show for it. Her privileged life with the Fishers gave Celine her arrogance, so Celine believed she deserved better than these men who were living off their parents. Still, all the good and remarkable men out there steered clear of Celine because they knew they would have to take the Fishers’ last name rather than vice versa. Only these incapable trust babies would go for

“Kevin York has no shame. Mr. Hayden is giving him the cold shoulder, but he just clings to Mr. Hayden to no end.” Emma looked over at Kevin and commented, “Kevin has advantages over you all. He’s a guy, and I mean, a guy of power and wealth. The Queen Enterprise would think twice before making York Corporation their enemy. Mr. Hayden’s bodyguards couldn’t even stop Kevin.” It only fueled Celine’s jealousy further. After taking another large gulp of red wine, Celine asked Emma, “Where’s Caroline?” “I don’t know where she’s hiding. I didn’t see her.” Emma did not take to Caroline. For starters, Caroline grew up in a rural area. Sure, Caroline had a natural grace to her. It did not take much dressing up for Caroline to outshine Celine now that the former was back in her rightful place with the Fisher family. Still, Emma could not stand Caroline, getting the idea that Caroline was sly. Caroline behaved discreetly and meekly in the Fishers’ residence, but she quietly chippe

Many women became upset as Hayden approached Caroline. Celine jumped out of nowhere and came in Hayden’s way. With a dazzling smile, Celine asked, “Mr. Hayden, can I have this dance with you?” Hayden solemnly refused, “I’m sorry, Ms. Celine. I have a dance partner.” She then brushed past Celine and reached Caroline’s table in no time. Caroline was in food heaven when she realized a lot of people were staring at her. She picked her head up and met the gaze of Hayden who was standing before her. Dumbstruck at first, Caroline then flashed her pearly whites at Hayden. “How can I help you, Mr. Hayden?” Kevin tagged along. While Kevin sauntered past Celine, Celine tried to put her foot out to trip Kevin. In Celine’s mind, Kevin was her strongest rival, and his gender did not matter. She wanted her rival to trip and embarrass himself in public. Alas, Celine underestimated her opponent and was too full of herself. To think she would try to outsmart Kevin. Picking up on

“If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, then there’s nothing we can do,” Adrian said.The Dott brothers pretended to decline the money, but after some back-and-forth, they eventually accepted, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.“I’ll call a car to take you back,” Adrian said, pulling out his phone to arrange transportation for them.Of course, they were not actually leaving Jensburg. They planned to start their operation tonight, aiming to deal with Caroline quickly to avoid any complications.“Thank you, Mr. Clark. You've already done so much for us,” the Dott brothers said, continuing to play their roles. They had come this far in their act and did not mind keeping up the charade a little longer.Soon, a black car really did arrive and stopped nearby. The driver stepped out and approached, respectfully greeting the three Clark brothers.“Take these two gentlemen home. They are Ms. Celine’s biological brothers,

Justin returned to the dining room and packed up all the leftover dishes they had not finished, along with the opened but unfinished bottle of wine. He stuffed everything into several bags and carried them out. Handing the leftovers to Jacob, he said, “If we’re going to keep up appearances, we need to make it look like we’re really giving you our charity, so take these leftovers back with you. You can heat them up for dinner tonight, otherwise, just toss them in the trash after you leave, but don’t throw away the wine—only you two had it. We haven’t touched it.“This wine is really good stuff, too. Where you’re from, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to buy such fine wine. And if you did find any, it’d probably be fake.”Jacob took the leftovers and the unfinished bottle of wine from Justin. The wine was indeed excellent. In fact, he would have asked for it himself even if Justin had not offered it. In all his life, he had never tasted such good wine.“Once you’re re

Adrian beckoned Celine’s brothers closer in a low voice. The two had had some alcohol, and it was going to their heads. Their faces reddened in excitement and they hurried over.Adrian handed the suitcase to Jacob by the handle. He watched as Jacob laid it on the ground and opened it, exposing the thick wads of cash within.The Dott brothers' hands were trembling from excitement, for they had never seen so much cash before. At the thought that the bagful of cash was theirs now, wide smiles broke out across their faces. They each took a bundle and kissed it a couple of times.“I love this the most,” Jacob exclaimed excitedly. “The more, the better, and the more, the merrier.”“Me, too. Jacob, we’ll take ten bundles each. Let’s just keep the cash in this bag for now and when we get home, we’ll secretly divide it. For now, let’s not tell Mom, your wife, or any others.”The more people knew, the more talk there would be, so it was better for as few people as possible to know.Actuall

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.
Married at First Sight Chapter 4129
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
