Zachary was in a meeting.He did not reply immediately.When he finished speaking, he picked up his phone on the desk and opened WhatsApp.When he saw that it was a message from his wife, his handsome facial features could not help but soften.The senior managers in the conference room saw his expression soften and guessed that it was a message from his wife.Everyone hid a smile in their eyes.It had been a year since the CEO and his wife got married. Although they did not have a wedding yet, it was soon. The wedding ceremony would be next month.The young couple’s relationship was getting better and better.They watched as their heart-of-steel CEO melted by his wife little by little.It was said that even the hardest of steels would become soft after being tempered a hundred times.No matter how tough a man was, he would melt when he meets the woman he loves.Unexpectedly, Zachary’s expression suddenly changed. He shot to his feet, pulled his chair out, and walked straight
“I’m just joking. Don’t be mad. Don’t be mad, okay? We won’t bother with Jenna. We’ll just let her father deal with her. Mr. Daniels is an upstanding man.”Serenity had a good impression of Edwin. She just had a bad impression of Jenna.Jenna was Edwin’s only daughter. She was born only after Edwin took a lot of medicine to nourish his body, and she was raised into a domineering girl.If she took a fancy to something, she must have it regardless of whether it was a person or object.Edwin must have talked to his daughter before. He must have scolded and warned her.Otherwise, Jenna would not stay in her place quietly and only dare to find a lookalike to take photos with to send to Serenity and add to her problems.Zachary said, “I’ll contact Mr. Daniels later and send him the photos. He’ll deal with it.”After the cooperative project between the two companies was settled, Zachary did not follow up on it. He left it to other people to handle instead.Edwin did not know how shame
After Serenity hung up the phone, she said to her best friend, “Mr. York refused to cooperate with me in the acting.”Jasmine giggled. “Even while thinking with my toes, I’d know he wouldn’t cooperate.“He’s like a piece of gum that wants to stick to you 24/7. How would a piece of gum like that be willing to cooperate with you in acting? It’s not worth it if you really chase him out to the study.”“Birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Bucham is also a piece of gum.”Jasmine said wittily, “Exactly. I haven’t messaged him about going to the manor with you for a staycation during the weekend yet.“I’ll tell him during lunch.”If she told him now and he was unwilling, it would affect his work.On the other side, Zachary called Edwin after he finished talking with his wife.Edwin swiftly answered the call.“Mr. York.”“Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Daniels. Can I text you?”Edwin was first stunned before saying with a smile, “Of course.”“We’ll chat on WhatsApp.”Zachary hung
“Ms. Daniels isn’t working alone. She has someone helping her in Wiltspoon.”Edwin repeatedly assured Zachary that he would take care of this matter himself.Zachary replied that he believed him.Zachary and Serenity did not have to do anything since they were using Edwin to deal with Jenna and the person who was helping her.When Zachary stopped sending messages, Edwin immediately called his eldest nephew, Alvin.The uncle and nephew talked on the phone almost every day. After all, there were some decisions that needed to go through Edwin first.Even if Jenna made a decision, the prudent Alvin would always ask his uncle for instructions and act according to Edwin’s words. This made Edwin feel at ease.Alvin soon answered the call.“Uncle Edwin.”“Alvin, tell me the truth. What did Jenna do while I was abroad? Did she find a man who has a similar figure to Mr. York? Is she together with that man?”Alvin was stunned.How did this reach his uncle’s ears so quickly?Mr. York m
Edwin did not speak, which was a silent admission.Alvin pretended to be shocked and said in a low voice, “What is Jenna thinking? How can she fall in love with Mr. York? Even though he just announced that he’s married, he got married a long time ago. How could Jenna still...“Although Mr. York is excellent, he’s a married man. Even if Jenna likes him, she can’t be a homewrecker who destroys someone else’s marriage. Besides, is Mr. York’s marriage that easy to ruin?”Alvin knew that the reason his uncle suddenly called him must be because Zachary contacted him.He told Edwin about everything that Jenna did.The man with Jenna was just a body double. His figure was similar to Zachary, but not his face. Even if Zachary found out about it, he could not do anything about Jenna.However, it was a different story if Zachary told Edwin.Edwin knew that.Furthermore, that body double was a delivery man. More accurately, he was not a delivery man, but an unemployed man. He delivered tak
Serenity said, “Callum is still making Camryn send him flowers, huh? Give me a bouquet of roses.”“Certainly.”While waiting for the assistant to wrap up the roses, Serenity asked about their business.“Business is very good.”The assistant smiled. “Ms. Camryn gave us a raise, but she hasn’t spent much time in the store recently. She is too busy with other business matters and often has meetings.”Camryn needed Dalton to accompany her to every meeting because she still could not see.Dalton had already become Camryn’s right-hand man and spokesperson. His words represented Camryn’s will.The two of them cooperated perfectly. After Cain was convicted, Newman Enterprise fell into turmoil for a short period of time, but they were now back on the right track. There was also a faint upward trend.The people in Newman Enterprise were relieved.Although people from the Chandler and Joyner families would go to Newman Enterprise to cause trouble and call names from time to time, it did
The assistant wrapped up the roses and handed the bouquet to Serenity.Serenity made the payment, took the bouquet, thanked her, and said, “You should get back to work. I’ll send these to my husband first. I made him angry, so I have to coax him.”The assistant laughed and said, “Go quickly, Mrs. York.”All the men in the York family had to be coaxed.Camryn had to coax Callum too.They often heard Camryn secretly complaining about how a grown man like him acted like a narrow-minded little woman sometimes.After leaving Spring Blossoms, Serenity headed to York Corporation.She saw Camryn soon after arriving.There was a car parked beside Camryn, and a man wearing sunglasses and a black mask stood beside her, seemingly talking to her.Soon, Camryn smiled and let the man help her toward the car, apparently to help her get in the car.The next second, Camryn threw the man’s hand off and turned to run.The man struck the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.Seeing this s
Who dared to touch his fiancée?!Callum ran out of the company as fast as he could and soon saw Serenity’s car parked at the roadside.Serenity stood with four bodyguards at the moment. Two were arranged by Zachary to secretly protect her, and two were to secretly protect Camryn.However, when Camryn was attacked, Serenity fought off the men before the bodyguards could rush over.Callum ran to them.“Serenity!“Camryn. How’s Camryn?”Callum was panting and squatted down to take Camryn from Serenity’s hands.“Camryn was knocked unconscious. It’ll most likely take a while for her to wake up. It’s fortunate that I came here to send flowers to Zachary. I saw her here and was just about to walk over to her. I didn’t expect this to happen.“I saw Camryn talking to the man. She seemed familiar with him, but just as she was about to get in the car, she threw the man’s hand off and tried to run, but he knocked her out.”Callum picked Camryn up and said, “Serenity, can I borrow your ca
Layla scoffed. “Who knows if you’re truly sincere?”“I know you all won’t believe me no matter what I say, Ms. Doyle. I’ll prove that I’m serious about Imogen through my actions.”Dylan spoke with honesty, “If there’s a sliver of possibility that I’m playing around with Imogen’s heart again, you don’t have to teach me a lesson. My family will gladly do the honors. Besides, I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I thought of developing a relationship with Imogen because of Nana’s orders.”“That’s right. You listened to your nana and came to pursue Jen for three months. Jen was young and naive. Just when she started getting attracted to you, you ran away and said you realized you couldn’t fall in love with her.“Is Jen’s love worth so little? Would you even have given an explanation if Jen didn’t go to you for one?“It’s been months since then. Just as Jen has moved on, you reappear and disrupt her peaceful life. You came back to pursue her because you couldn’t get the woman you lo
“We can talk about this next time. By the way, Layla already left.“I still have some work to do. I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again even if the world is ending. I’ll hate you if you disturb me and make me work till late at night.”Dylan said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you. Go on with your work. Remember not to exhaust yourself.”Imogen hung up without another word.Before Dylan could even put his phone back into his pocket, he saw a luxury car exiting the parking lot.Since it was past working hours, most employees had already left.That luxury car probably belonged to Layla.Dylan had met members of the Doyle family before. However, he did not have a deep impression of them.Layla Doyle was the president of Davidson Group. Although there was still a board of directors above her, she still called the shots for most matters.Therefore, she was extremely busy. Back when Dylan deliberately approached Imogen and treated her well to pursue her, he had only seen Layla once from afa
Dylan smiled. “Look, Imogen. It’s dark, and it’s time to have dinner. Aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you come out and have dinner with me? I can take you back to the office to continue working afterward. What do you think?“How much work do you have left? I bought two movie tickets. We can go watch a movie after you’re done working.”Imogen rejected him coldly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. I’m not free. I’ll be heading home for dinner after work. Since it’s a rare day where I don’t have to attend an event, I want to have a good rest.”She had already made an appointment with a few of her best friends to go shopping at eight o’clock that night.She had no time to accompany Dylan.How could he think of having dinner and watching a movie together? It had only been one day since he decided to pursue her again.Dylan could dream on.Imogen had not even admitted she was Chameleon Fox. How could she possibly accept him?Did he think she was an easy target?In the past, Imogen had loved him s
“Besides, he caught a cold just from standing outside for half an hour without his jacket last time. He was only fine because he drank some spicy soup and took some medicine. Also, he has a strong body, because if it were other people, they would’ve fallen sick.“I just wanted to torture him a little. I don’t want him to die. I still need him so I can marry into the York family.”Layla smiled. “The York family has many young masters. It doesn’t have to be him. His cousins are of similar age as you, right?”“Peter is close to my age, but he already has a fiancée. Austin already has an arranged partner too. River and the rest are too young. Even if they were offered to me, I wouldn’t want them. I don’t like being the older one in a relationship.”Rowan was not even a legal adult yet.Layla said, “Okay. Old Mrs. York is a weird lady, but I can’t deny that she has a good eye for people.“I think Dylan isn’t even good enough for you. He can’t win against you in a fight, and his IQ and
If Imogen hated the noise and excitement in the air, she would not have snooped around as Chameleon Fox. That identity allowed her to explore and have fun. Sometimes, she would step up to help someone or be a troublemaker and offend someone.Layla walked over and sat down. She watched Imogen’s charming face and smiled. “That York guy is here again. He’s waiting at the company’s entrance. He has a bouquet in his hands, and his new car is parked behind him.“It looks like he wants to invite you to have a dinner date with him.”Layla asked, “What is he trying to do? Are you still planning to accept him?”Dylan had been living in a hotel since his arrival in Huntington. He was already looking at houses but had not found one he liked yet.Grandma May suggested he learn from Remy and buy a house right beside the Doyle family's. It would make it more convenient for him to pursue Imogen.However, none of the Doyles’ neighbors intended to sell their houses. Those people did not lack money
Imogen did not give Dylan a reply. She was still in the office.She did not even have time to look at his messages. She just wanted to finish her work as soon as possible so she could leave and eat.Did Dylan not need to work?He also had a company under his name. Even if he was not involved in managing York Corporation, he still had to manage his own company, right?Imogen was extremely busy.She had been overwhelmed with work since she resumed working yesterday. She would be at a meeting, on her way to see a client, handling documents, or solving issues at a branch company.Imogen barely had time to take a sip of water, let alone reply to Dylan’s messages.Seeing Dylan being so relaxed while she was working so hard put her in a bad mood. Her urge to ignore him gradually increased.As her parents had mentioned, she had other men to choose from. Dylan was not her only option.She could fall in love with someone else.Even if Imogen were to choose Dylan in the end, she would m
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
