Married at First Sight Chapter 214
Liberty asked, “Why don’t you go after breakfast?”“No, I’ll just get take-outs. I have an appointment at noon and won’t be back for lunch. You can eat with Sonny.”Seeing how Liberty was merely asking and did not hand him his coat and briefcase like before to send him off like a king, Hank was quite upset. He felt like Liberty was not serving him despite eating and living under his roof.His sister was good to her husband. It could be said that she treated her husband like he was a king. Furthermore, she had a job to earn money.‘Liberty doesn’t do anything, yet she doesn’t treat me well either.‘No one can blame me for not loving her. She’s just not qualified.’Hank found a reason for his emotional infidelity.He went to get his suit jacket, briefcase, and car keys before saying to his son, “Daddy is going to work now, Sonny. Bye-bye.”He did not leave until his son waved at him.As soon as he left the house, he drove straight to Wiltspoon Hotel.Unexpectedly, Jessica was w

“After marriage, she didn’t go to work and had no income, so she relied on me to support her. Everything in the house was bought with my money. What qualifications does she have to split the assets with me?” Hank said arrogantly. “As long as I divorce her, she’ll definitely leave without a penny to her name. She won’t get anything from me.”Previously, Liberty told him that if they divorced, she wanted the money used for renovation back from him.However, Hank told her that he would not give her a single penny.He had not divorced her because his son was still young and needed someone to take care of him.He simply thought of Liberty as a free nanny. This free nanny was absolutely dedicated to taking care of his son, so he did not have to worry about his son being abused by a random nanny.Jessica wanted to tell him that his savings were considered marital property. If Liberty sued him, she would be able to take half of the savings. Furthermore, if Liberty found out about the mone

When Hank heard that it was Mr. York, he was stunned and said, “No wonder it was such a big commotion. So, it was Mr. York. Oh, what a shame. If I had known that it was him, I would’ve squeezed to the front to get a glimpse of his handsome face.”He heard that Mr. York was incredibly good-looking.The middle-aged man gave Hank a sidelong glance and laughed. “You don’t look too shabby either, but compared to Mr. York, you can’t hold a candle to him.”Hank did not get angry either. “How would I dare to compare myself with Mr. York? The only one who can compare to him is probably Mr. Stone. I’m quite lucky to have encountered Mr. York today. I’ll buy a lottery ticket later and see if I can hit the jackpot.”The middle-aged man was amused by Hank’s words.Jessica looked amazed. After the middle-aged man left, she took Hank’s arm and walked to the hotel restaurant, saying, “Mr. York is a god-like figure in Wiltspoon. I wonder what kind of man he is and the lucky lady to have his heart.
Married at First Sight Chapter 217
Hank thought of the York family, and then his mind shifted to his sister-in-law’s conditions. He felt like pigs would fly before Zachary was Mr. York.Serenity was indeed beautiful, but all her other aspects were far inferior to the Stone family’s daughter. If Mr. York did not take a liking to someone like Elisa, why would he fancy Serenity instead?After making comparisons, Hank automatically dismissed the idea, feeling that he was overthinking.There was no way the Zachary he knew was the young master of the York family!“My eyes must be playing tricks on me. Come on, let’s go have breakfast.”Jessica was hoping that Hank could get acquainted with Mr. York. That way, if she followed Hank, she would be able to take advantage of that relationship to get to know Mr. York as well. Maybe she could even squeeze into that circle of high society.However, reality gave her a tight slap in the face. That was impossible!She had better not daydream.Seizing Hank’s heart and making him d

Liberty continued her job hunt.Serenity took her nephew back to the store.Jasmine loved Sonny and she was the one who played with him the most, letting Serenity focus on her crafts.She was going to make some retro headwear to sell online and see how the sales go. If it went well, she would open another online store.Ever since e-commerce became a thing, business at brick-and-mortar stores took a plunge.If the online store could make money, Serenity would happily open another online store.When it was noon, Jasmine asked her friend, “Seren, are you still going to pick up your husband for lunch today? I have some fresh seafood over at home. Let’s have a seafood feast for lunch. If Mr. York wants to join us, I’ll prepare more portions.”Jasmine asked before she started to cook, lest she prepared too little for everyone to eat.“Even if I call him, he won’t come anyway. Jasmine, I think I’m having a cold war with Zachary.”Serenity finished making a miniature tree that a custo

“Maybe he hasn’t seen your message. Why don’t you send him another one?”Serenity was silent for a moment. Then, she picked up her phone, tapped on WhatsApp, and sent another message to Zachary. Serenity: [Do you want to have lunch together?]When she sent the message, she received a system notification stating that Zachary had not added her as contact and could not receive her message. There was a prompt for her to add him as a friend.Serenity stared at the few lines of words.‘We’re not friends?‘That cheapskate actually deleted my contact again!‘This is the second time he deleted me!‘The first time was when we first got our license. He turned around and forgot about me, his new wife, for nine days so he deleted me. However, I could understand because we weren’t close to each other back then.‘Now that he deleted me again, it means that he’s convinced that I did him wrong. He’s completely set on the idea that I found a backup partner, so he deleted my contact.’At first

Serenity had been careful in spending money. Unless she was buying large pieces of furniture, she would spend no more than two hundred dollars a day.As time passed, Zachary did not bother to guess.Since he had given her the money, she was free to spend it.He was angry at her and deleted her from his WhatsApp, but he did not want to take back the money he gave her to spend.Anyhow, he would bear with her until the agreement expired. He would not breach the contract prematurely, since he would have to compensate her with a large number of liquidated damages.Ten minutes later, his phone received another expenditure notification.This time, the total was more than twenty thousand.Of course, this bit of money was nothing for Mr. York.He just wanted to know why the woman was suddenly spending so much money. Was she buying gold?Or did she get angry after she found out that he deleted her, so she deliberately went shopping to spend his money?Sure enough, Zachary was good at g

“Wait, even if you saw Serenity eating with another man and giving him food, who was he? Did you check properly? What if he’s a relative?”Zachary’s face was gloomy. “Shawn Lowe.”“Who’s Shawn? Oh, I know. He’s the son of Mr. Lowe from Lowe Enterprise. He’s working in Lowe Enterprise now to build experience... Let me think. The maiden name of Shawn’s mother is Sox, and your wife’s best friend’s last name is also Sox.”Zachary said directly, “Shawn is Jasmine Sox’s cousin.”“Yes yes yes, they’re cousins. Serenity and Jasmine are best friends, so she must have known Shawn for a long time. She’s a few years older than Shawn, right? Maybe she just thinks of him as a younger brother.”“They don’t have any blood relation at all. Even if she thinks of him as a brother, he’s not her brother!”Josh choked. ‘Yeah, even if she says she only thinks of him as a brother, they’re not connected by blood, so there’s no way he can be her brother.’After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Shawn i

Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

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
