Madam Fisher and Celine returned to the hotel. Afterward, Celine was furious again because as soon as she got back, she saw Caroline dancing with Hayden. Not only Celine, but the women who adored Hayden also wanted to cut Caroline to pieces with their gaze. Following that, all of them looked at Kevin. Nevertheless, Kevin was standing with a glass of wine. He drank wine while watching Hayden and Caroline dance. Not only did he not look jealous, but there was also a faint smile on his face. Everyone was disappointed with this strongest love rival of theirs. Why did Kevin not go forward to snatch Mr. Hayden from Caroline? The other women also wanted to dance with Mr. Hayden. Caroline felt that the other ladies wished they could kill her with their death stares. She whispered to Hayden, “Mr. Hayden, you asked me for a dance, and now I’ve become their common enemy.” Hayden chuckled. “Ms. Caroline, are you scared?” Caroline’s beautiful eyes flickered. She looked at Hayden
Caroline and Serenity looked alike at first glance, but not so much when looked closely. On the other hand, Caroline and Liberty looked more and more alike. If Kevin did not know that Serenity only had one sister, he would have thought that Caroline was her other sister. As for Serenity and Liberty, they were not much alike. Liberty looked most like their mom, whereas Serenity had a mix of their parents’ good features. She bore little resemblance to her mom and much of her dad.Kevin could not help but imagine things. Was his sister-in-law’s family background not clear enough? Two unrelated people could look alike, but Caroline looked like both Serenity and Liberty, so it was suspicious. Could they be relatives? Kevin guessed, but he also thought about how Elisa did not look like Serenity and Liberty despite being cousins. If they resembled each other, Elisa would have been suspicious when she first saw Serenity. Hayden and Caroline danced on and the one facing Kevin now
Kevin unleashed his clinginess and chased after Hayden. Everyone looked at the two of them, but no one dared to interfere in their affair. Hayden’s admirers hated Kevin very much. They watched the whole night as the shameless man pestered Hayden. Hayden went straight to the host to apologize. She said, “Mr. Williams, I’m sorry, but I have something to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself first.” Mr. Williams knew Hayden was annoyed by Kevin’s pestering, which had become everyone’s topic. She was patient to have held out for so long and was only leaving now. He said understandingly, “Mr. Hayden, your business is more important. Go on ahead.” In the end, he added, “I can understand you, Mr. Hayden.” Hayden nodded gratefully and walked out of her family’s hotel with her bodyguards. Hugh was reluctant to leave. He scurried to Hayden’s side and asked as he followed, “Bro, you’re going back now? The party isn’t over yet.” “If you don’t want to go back, you can wait until it is
Kevin did not chase after Hayden. He stood at the hotel entrance and waved at her with a smile, saying, “Mr. Hayden, see you tomorrow.” Hayden cursed internally, ‘If possible, I’d like to never see you again.’ After Hayden left, Kevin stood in place for a moment and wanted to head back into the hotel. However, as he turned around, he saw Madam Fisher exiting the hotel with her two daughters as well as her son and daughter-in-law.Mr. Williams saw them off with a few people. “Madam Fisher.” Out of courtesy and the fact that Madam Fisher was an elder, Kevin greeted her politely. Madam Fisher responded with a smile, “Mr. Kevin, are you leaving too?” “Yes, I’m slightly drunk from drinking too much, so I’m getting ready to go back to the hotel to rest.” Kevin looked at Caroline. Madam Fisher duly and officially introduced her biological daughter to him. Kevin and Caroline politely shook hands. Madam Fisher did not introduce Celine, who was beside her, and Kevin also did
Zachary said with certainty, “Impossible! My mother-in-law also has a sister only, and her sister is Aunt Audrey. We all know how many children she has. Apart from Elisa, Serenity has no other cousin sisters.” “If we’re talking about the generation before her, which is Mrs. Stone’s generation, does she have other sisters?” Kevin asked. Zachary answered, “Aunt Audrey said that it was only her and her sister. Their parents and family passed away, and only the two of them are alive. They were sent to the orphanage because they had no relatives.” Kevin was speechless. “Kev, did you say it was a daughter of the Fishers?” Zachary finally caught the point. “Yes, Caroline Fisher. There’s a lot to talk about the Fishers, and it might take days to finish everything, so I won’t tell you much. In short, Caroline is Madam Fisher’s biological daughter but was switched at birth by their evil housekeeper. The housekeeper’s daughter became the Fishers’ daughter instead, and is now known as
In any case, Kevin would pursue Hayden. Tough women were afraid of clingy men. The more Kevin clung to Hayden, she would become his wife. From Zachary and Callum’s success stories, Kevin firmly believed that as long as he was sincere and thick-faced enough, he would be able to win the maiden’s heart. Zachary laughed. “She has been pretending to be a man for over twenty years and has never been discovered. Now that you’re suddenly pursuing her, it’s very normal for her to hate you since she’s not mentally prepared. It’s only because she’s mentally strong that she’s not scared by you.” “It was Serenity and Callum’s advice.” Zachary chuckled and asked, “Did it work?” “It worked quite well because the problem was solved. Zack, I can now confirm that Hayden is a woman.” “Nana would never trick us. Hayden must be a woman. How could Nana arrange a man for you?” Zachary, who had been tricked by his nana multiple times, had forgotten the times he was tricked by her. He put in
“What is it?” Serenity casually asked. “It’s something related to your birth.” Serenity asked with a smile, “What else is there to my birth? I was born to my parents, and my dad was also born to my grandpa. A paternity test was also done. My mom and my aunt are sisters by blood, and I also had a DNA test done with my aunt.” Her birth was simple, so what else could be involved? “I’ll tell you in detail when you’re back. In any case, it’s related to your birth.” Zachary deliberately kept his beloved wife in suspense. It would be best if she could not resist her curiosity and fly back tomorrow morning, no, tonight, to be with him. “Okay, tell me when I’m back then. I’d like to know what else there is to my birth.” Serenity was not curious at all. This was because she knew her birth very well and that she was definitely her parents’ daughter! “For all you know, it’s going to be something huge.” Serenity responded, “Make up all you want. As outrageous as you make it soun
Jasmine replied, “I didn’t take the pictures. Someone saw them on that woman’s Facebook. They took screenshots and sent them to Josh. Josh was shocked after seeing them. Initially, he didn’t want to let me find out about it.“However, I still found out and quickly sent the pictures to you to verify whether the man is Zachary. I think the man’s silhouette does look like him.”Serenity thought, ‘Does anyone from Jenna’s social circle know Zachary?’However, considering the Daniels family’s wealth and status, she did not find it surprising. She said, “From the figure and his back, he does look like my Zachary. Even their side profiles look alike. I can’t confirm whether that’s Zachary, but logically speaking, he won’t cheat on me.“I remember that woman vaguely. She looks like the only daughter of Daniels Group’s CEO, Jenna Daniels.”Upon hearing that, Jasmine immediately said, “Seren, this man might really be Zachary. Josh mentioned York Corporation and Daniels Group were working
Jane suggested. Antonia added, “You guys can even leave for Wiltspoon tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You must be tired after your business trip, Mr. York. You should rest at our manor. Besides, it’s the weekend tomorrow. You can meet Ben.”Zachary smiled. “I thought about that as well, but I didn’t want to intrude.”Antonia said, “Not at all. We would love to host you. Sonny probably doesn’t want to go home yet.”She waved at Sonny, who then walked to her. She pulled him into her arms and lifted him, asking, “Do you want to play for another day or two?”“I’m fine with anything. I’ll go back when Aunt Seren does. I’ll follow her.”His mother was not back yet. Sonny did not mind either arrangement. Zachary told him, “I bet you’re having so much fun that you don’t want to go home, but your mom will return soon. Duncan has already gone to Jensburg to bring her home.”Sonny replied with a grunt. He knew about that. He was unhappy that Duncan did not bring him along to
Zachary laughed. The kids were fighting to do something so trivial. Conflicts arose often between the two boys. In the past, he, Josh, and Duncan also got into fights. However, they always reconciled quickly. No one ever took their quarrels to heart. After the bodyguards took all the gifts, Zachary led them to the courtyard. At that moment, Serenity stepped out of the house. She and Zachary stopped at the same time and stared at each other.A day apart felt like three years to them. Since they had been apart for some time, it felt as if a lot of time had passed. During those days, Serenity had been extremely worried about her husband and sister. Luckily, everything was over. “Seren.”Zachary smiled and walked toward his wife. Serenity snapped back to her senses and went to him in quick steps. The couple hugged each other tight. “You’re finally back, Zachary.”“I said I’d come to take you and Sonny home. Of course, I’d be back.”Zachary pulled away from Ser
“Honey, you have me, and my parents treat you like their own. They care for you more than they do for me and I’m their son.”Camryn shook off the pain in her heart and smiled lightly, “Yes, God has been kind to me by giving me such an excellent husband and open-minded in-laws, and sisters-in-law who I get along with like real sisters.”This had somewhat compensated for her lack of familial affection. She was especially grateful to Grandma May. If the old lady had not chosen her, Callum would not have even known who she was, let alone pursue her. The Camryn of today would not exist, and she could not imagine how many more years she would have spent living in darkness if she had not married Callum. Even if Aunt Evelyn had heard of the legendary doctor, she had no way to contact him.Right then, a customer entered the store. The couple aptly stopped their conversation there and moved on from the heavy topic.Meanwhile, in Annenburg, Serenity knew her husband would be flying here tod
Camryn smiled, “You spoil me too much. You’ll turn me into an absolute sloth who only waits around for you to take care of me, and it might tire you out.”“That won’t happen. I enjoy taking care of you,” Callum assured as he reached to help her with the snacks, but she would not let him feed her anymore. Callum had no choice but to hand her the snacks.“Although Trenton is young, he has mettle. When we put his parents away, it was hard for him to accept, but in the end, he did. As long as he has the right values, even the hardest things can be accepted over time and he won’t resent anyone else for it either.”Camryn pushed the snack box closer to her husband, indicating that he should have some too. “If Trenton didn’t have the right values, I wouldn’t care for him so much. Given the hurt and pain I suffered during the twenty-odd years under his parents, if I hated them, they’d have nothing to say in defense.“Because Trenton has treated me well since he was little, respects me as
Just now, Carrie came here and made a scene, and he had given her fifty thousand dollars. Although he had not spent much time with her, they were siblings. He could at the very least still recognize her. However, when Camryn asked him that, Trenton's heart started to race, not daring to confidently say that the lady really was Carrie.As for the young lady beside her? He had watched the video a few times but had not paid much attention to her. All he could see was a beautiful, young woman dressed in luxurious attire. In the video, he heard Camryn refer to her as Mrs. Longbottom, so her husband’s family name had to be Longbottom.Mrs. Longbottom had a good attitude toward Camryn and even supported her. He was not familiar with Mrs. Longbottom at all, though. Why did Camryn ask him that? Should he know her? Trenton watched the video two more times but could not find anything unusual about her. It was just that he was not acquainted with Mrs. Longbottom. If he had not seen the video,
The young couple looked at Trenton, then exchanged smiles.“How much did you give Carrie?” Camryn asked her brother gently. Camryn could harden her heart to completely ignore Carrie and not give her a single cent, but Trenton could not be as ruthless as she was, mainly because while Carrie had not been particularly kind to Trenton, she also had not bullied him outright. She had treated Camryn very poorly though and had never shown her any respect at all, so their sisterly bond had deteriorated to the extreme. It was already generous of Camryn not to completely destroy Carrie after taking charge, which was probably out of consideration for the fact that they shared a mother.“I-I gave her fifty thousand. She said it was almost Christmas, and she wanted to buy gifts and new clothes, so I-I gave her fifty thousand.” Trenton looked down as he spoke, not daring to look at Camryn, afraid she would scold him.Camryn gave her brother a long look but did not scold him. Instead, she took o
Callum was silent for a moment before he said, “I wanted you to get familiar with the route to my office, which is why I asked you to deliver the flowers yourself.”“Did you ever think about how difficult it was for me as a blind person? It was so hard for me to walk all the way to deliver those flowers,” Camryn retorted.Callum pulled her into an embrace and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Camryn. It was my fault for not thinking it through, which put you through a lot.”Camryn pushed him away, “We have customers constantly coming in. Don’t just hug me out of nowhere. You’re as thick-skinned as a rhinoceros, but I’m not. At that time, I was angry and silently cursed you a hundred thousand times, but your insistence actually did help me learn the way to your office and now, I can find my way there even with my eyes closed.”At that moment, Trenton returned. After Carrie left, he felt a bit down and stayed outside for a while to compose himself before coming back in. He did not wan
Just then, a customer came in wanting to buy a bouquet. Camryn first brought over some sample pictures for the customer to choose from. “No need to choose, just help me arrange a bouquet of roses. I’m going to confess my feelings,” said the young boy, a hint of shyness on his face as he spoke.Camryn smiled gently. “Alright, please wait a moment while I prepare it for you.”Callum assisted by inviting the young boy to sit down and poured him a glass of water.The boy glanced between Camryn and Callum and quietly asked, “Are you and the boss married or dating?”“We’re married. She’s my wife.”The boy expressed his envy. “You both seem very happy.”“Yeah, we are very happy. I love my wife very much, and she loves me too.”Thinking about the girl he was pursuing, the boy’s face lit up with anticipation. “I also have someone I like, and I’m going to confess to her, though I just don’t know if she feels the same. I’m a bit nervous.”Callum, drawing from his own experience, advised
“She hasn’t paid. Stop her.” Camryn was not going to let her get away with it. With a command, her two bodyguards stopped Carrie.Carrie said furiously, “Camryn, I only took a few flowers from you! You have so many flowers here. What's the big deal if I take a few? You still want me to pay? I’m your sister! Don’t you know that blood is thicker than water?!”“Blood might be thicker than water, but business is business. Anyone who buys flowers from me has to pay, including you. Besides, you’ve never treated me like an older sister. You always bring up how we’re sisters when you want to take advantage of me, but that won’t work here. My roses are freshly transported, and since you’re my sister, I’ll let you have them for twenty bucks each. You took about five stems, so just give me a hundred. I won’t rip you off.”Carrie’s expression changed in an instant. “Camryn, why don’t you just rob a bank? You’re charging twenty bucks each? You’re just a thief! Here! I don’t want them! I’d rather
