Edwin was furious with his daughter.He spent more than twenty years of blood, sweat, and tears raising his only daughter, wanting her to be the successor of Daniels Group. She always made him satisfied, but after she met Zachary, she started to let him down.“Edwin, what did you say Jenna did? She’s a mistress in someone else’s marriage?”Amelia had no idea about this.She also did not know that Jenna found a man to pretend to be Zachary. Jenna hid all that from her mother.After all, the man she was with was just a substitute. The person she wanted was Zachary.Nothing happened even after she sent those photos to Serenity.Jenna deemed the pictures not provoking enough, so she thought of editing the next batch of photos to be more explicit before sending them to Serenity. If Serenity still chose to believe in Zachary and remain indifferent, she would accidentally let the paparazzi get a hold of the pictures.Once the pictures fall into the hands of the paparazzi, they would d
Jenna held her cheek that was slapped and looked at her father in disbelief.Her father hit her!She was her parents’ only child and was pampered by them since she was a child. Although her father was strict with her in order to cultivate her into becoming a talent, he had never beaten her before.Now, her father slapped her because she liked a man.Jenna’s tears of grievance poured out.Amelia snapped back to her senses and immediately stood up in distress. She went to hold her daughter’s hand and said to her husband, “Can’t you just talk nicely? Why did you have to hit Jenna?”“I’m hitting you now. If that slap doesn’t knock some sense into you, then you don’t have to go back to Daniels Group anymore. I won’t hand Daniels Group to someone who will only bring disaster to the company, even if that person is my only child!“Jenna Daniels, I’ll say this again—give up. Zachary won’t deem you worthy to even look at. If you’re shameless enough to be a homewrecker, then I’ll sever our
Amelia chased after Edwin.Before Edwin got into his car, he said to his wife, “Talk to your daughter. Does she want to continue to be a homewrecker and bear the stigma for life, or does she want to maintain the status quo? Tell her to think carefully before telling me. Don’t contact me until she thinks it over and makes a decision. I’ll pretend that she’s not my daughter.”Amelia was speechless.Edwin told the driver to drive.Soon, he left his own home.Amelia went back into the house helplessly and felt her heart break when she saw her daughter crying silently on the sofa.She walked over, poked her daughter’s head, and scolded, “Jenna, how did your father raise you to be? How could you do something like this?“It’s Mr. York from Wiltspoon, right? He’s a very good man, but no matter how good he is, he already has a wife. If you pursue him and send indecent photos to his wife, then you’re destroying their marriage. You’ll be called a homewrecker.“Jenna, you’re a great girl.
“We didn’t teach you well. We didn’t instill proper morals into you and let you go astray. I blame myself too.”“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Mom. I was wrong.”Jenna was not stupid. When her father resolutely told her to make a choice, she would definitely not choose Zachary.She could not lose everything she had now.Zachary was just a passerby in her life. No matter how much she wanted to keep him, she could not keep a passerby.Amelia sighed. “Your dad and I don’t want your apology. What we want to see is you proving yourself with your actions. Jenna, I hope you won’t let us down again. I’ll go upstairs now. You take some time to yourself and think about it.”Then, Amelia went upstairs.Jenna was left sitting on the sofa, shedding tears at times and feeling resentful at other times.Amelia understood her daughter. It would be difficult for Jenna to come around for a while. They had to give her some time to think about it. If she was still unwilling to give up on Zachary, then not
“Not yet.”“We’ll go eat together later, my treat.”Liberty smiled. “Alright.”Smiling, Jasmine walked over. “Liberty, you’re finally back. Sonny mentions you every day. Both Seren and I are tired of hearing him talk about you.”Sonny naturally said, “I just miss Mom.”Was he not allowed to talk about Mom if he missed her?Jasmine smiled and lightly pinched his face.The three of them did not chat much as the shop was still busy. When the students started their evening self-study, the area in front of the school returned to calmness.Serenity poured a cup of warm water for her sister and asked, “Has Aunt Audrey gone home?”“Yeah, Aunt Audrey asked me to go to her place for dinner. I missed Sonny, so I didn’t go.”Serenity wanted to say something but she could not hold in her yawn.Seeing Aunt Ser yawn again, Sonny said to his mom, “Every night when I fall asleep, Aunt Ser is still awake and often yawns.”Liberty said with concern, “Seren, you should take care of yourself. Y
When Serenity woke up, it was already early morning the next day.She opened her eyes and saw herself lying in bed, feeling a bit confused. Was she not in the car?How long did she sleep?She turned her head and saw the man sleeping beside her. She shifted her body and quietly watched Zachary.As she watched, she could not help but reach out and touch his face.This man of great eminence was hers!Such thoughts made Serenity feel a sweet sensation in her heart.She intended to lean in and kiss his face. It was right then that Zachary opened his eyes. Seeing her getting closer, he guessed what she wanted to do, so he closed his eyes again.Serenity chuckled softly. “You’re awake.”“I’m not awake, I’m still dreaming. I dreamt that my wife wanted to kiss me, so I’ll wait for her to finish kissing, and then I’ll wake up.”Serenity burst into laughter.“You’re talking now yet you say you’re not awake.”“I was sleep-talking.”As an old married couple, kissing was their favorite
Even though Zachary was outstanding and had enough money to last several lifetimes, she insisted on earning and spending her own money.She said it felt great to spend money she earned herself, without any psychological burden.He entrusted all his assets to her, but she rarely used his money.“I’m fine. I’m still young, in good health, and full of energy. I fell asleep so early last night, and now I feel especially refreshed.”Saying this, Serenity sat up and smiled, “I think it’s been a long time since I prepared breakfast for you. I woke up early today, so I’ll go and get a breakfast full of love ready for you.”Zachary smiled, “I suddenly miss the ordinary life we had when we first got married. Every morning, you would either cook porridge or go out to get some croissants back. It was the first time I had croissants that you brought back.”“I miss it too. How about we go back to Brynfield tonight and stay for a while?” “It’s up to you,” said Zachary indulgently. In their ho
Two days later at FC Manor in Annenburg, a private plane landed at the private airport.Jane and Ben were waiting there.When they saw Zachary and Serenity disembark from the plane, the couple smiled as they approached them.Accompanying the couple on their return was Remy.Originally, Remy wanted to come back earlier, but he could not bear to be separated from Elisa. Elisa had to go on a business trip, so she said she would rush over on the day of the 100-day-old celebration.Knowing that Zachary and Serenity were heading to Annenburg a few days early, Remy hitched a ride on Zachary’s private plane and came back with them.“Serenity,” Jane called out with a smile.She then nodded toward Zachary. “Mr. Zachary, long time no see.”Zachary responded with a smile, “Indeed, it has been a long time.”He shook hands with Ben, and the two CEOs even embraced each other briefly before letting go. Afterward, Zachary shook hands with Jane.Finally, Remy, who had just disembarked, intenti
