Shawn was reassigned from a subsidiary company back to the headquarters of Lowe Enterprise. He was introduced to the daughter of a wealthy family through his mother, and they started dating. He knew Zachary would only let his guard down around him if only he started dating and got married. “Seren saw Shawn when she accompanied Mr. York to a banquet last time. Mr. York got jealous even though all Seren and Shawn did was greet each other politely. Mom, tell Shawn secretly that Serenity is pregnant the next time he visits. Tell him not to worry anymore.“Also, he should have a good time and nurture his relationship with his girlfriend. We’ll be waiting for his wedding.”Jasmine was opposed to her cousin pursuing Serenity from the start. Serenity was already married to Zachary when Jasmine found out about her cousin’s love for Serenity. Besides, Serenity only saw Shawn as a sibling and did not have romantic feelings for him. Jasmine had advised her cousin to give up. There wa
It was Jasmine’s turn. Ultimately, she and Josh were fated for each other. Josh found her hilarious and had a deep impression of her stunt at the party. Therefore, he readily agreed to go on a blind date with her when Zachary introduced her to him. “Serenity’s luckier than me. Her in-laws are truly open-minded people. Mr. York is also a person who keeps his promises. With him and Grandma May on Serenity’s side, she won’t experience any drastic changes in her lifestyle even after getting pregnant.“Unlike me, she can do whatever she wants. I had to bear my mother-in-law’s displeasure even though I just wanted to manage the bookstore. I wanted to visit the vegetable farms we bought with Seren and Elisa too, but my mother-in-law stopped me because it was too far.”Actually, the journey was only a little more than an hour by car. They could even arrive at the destination in an hour if the traffic were smooth. “Let’s stop complaining. You’re doing fine as you are now. Josh is th
“Don’t compare yourself to Serenity too. She’s skilled in self-defense and has a stronger foundation than you. Some things she does are effortless for her. Learn to be content, Jasmine. You shouldn’t constantly compare yourself to others.“It’ll only upset you.”After listening to her mother, Jasmine’s sadness dissipated. She nodded. “Okay, Mom. I won’t compare myself to Seren anymore. Josh told me that he could provide me with a comfortable life. I don’t have to work with a huge pregnant belly like other women.”“That’s right. Josh really treats you well. Your in-laws are nice to you too. They treat you as if they would a biological daughter.“Maintaining a pleasant mood throughout your pregnancy will be good for you and the baby.”Jasmine nodded. “Wash some fruits and serve them as a dessert. I’m going to prepare some supplements for Serenity. Although she doesn’t lack them, it’s a token from me. I started treating her as your sister long ago.”Camila remembered the first tim
Serenity’s clothes were all dirty, and the strap of her bag was torn off by those people.Thus, she dared not go back to the rented house, afraid that her sister would be upset if she found out.Liberty was in high school and was facing pressure in her studies.Their family did not have much money either.After their parents died in a car accident, the insurance payout they received was divided among their grandparents and relatives, leaving only a small amount of money for the two of them.Liberty said that they needed to live frugally in order to have enough money for both of them to finish university.Serenity felt that Liberty would have to spend money to buy her a new backpack if she damaged hers, so she did not dare to go home.Fortunately, her classmate, Jasmine, who had always been good friends with her, took her back to the Sox residence.Camila was shocked and heartbroken when she saw Serenity.She hugged the little Serenity, comforting her and promising to help her
“Mom, are you going to take these to Serenity now?” Jasmine asked while biting an apple.“Of course. Are you staying for dinner? I’ll come back to prepare dinner after sending these to Serenity,” Camila asked while she opened the car door to get in.“Carlson, come with me. You can help me carry the stuff upstairs when we arrive.”Camila called for her husband.Carlson smiled and said, “I would go with you even if you didn’t ask me to.”He opened the door to the passenger seat and got into the car. After leaving some instructions to Josh and Jasmine, the old couple drove off.Josh stood on the steps of the porch, watching his parents-in-law prepare so many things for Serenity and hurriedly deliver them to her. When his wife came back after closing the gates, he said to her, “They’re giving Serenity as many things as they gave us when you got pregnant.”“Seren and I have been friends for over a decade. My parents watched her grow up and think of her as their daughter. Now that Ser
“Ms. Stone.”Julian’s familiar voice sounded ahead.Elisa and Remy, who were in a good mood, suddenly wanted to teleport home so they did not have to see Julian’s smug and smiling face.Julian really was smug.He saw Remy beside Elisa and how their fingers were tightly interlocked intimately.However, he still acted like a glaring third wheel.Remy’s handsome face instantly darkened.He was glad he followed Elisa back to Wiltspoon early instead of listening to his mother when she tried to make him stay longer. If he had let Elisa return to Wiltspoon by herself, then she would definitely have been picked up by Julian.Julian clearly did not have any feelings for Elisa, but he still clung to her tightly. Not only did he send her gifts every day, but as long as she had to leave Wiltspoon, he would be her personal airport transfer. He was even more diligent than Remy.“Ms. Stone, I’ve been waiting for half an hour. You’re finally here. I thought you had already left.”Julian wore
“Mr. Johnson, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to sit in my car. I’ll understand. I came here to pick up Ms. Stone. You’re just an add-on. If the add-on doesn’t want to be an add-on, then you can find your way back.”Julian spoke with a smile, but to Remy, every word sounded like thorns, pricking at his heart.Julian asked Elisa, “The suitcase in Mr. Johnson’s hand is yours, right? It’s pink so it should be yours. Girls like pink.”Then, he stepped forward and took the suitcase from Remy, brought it to the back of the car, and easily placed it in the trunk. After closing the trunk, he smiled at Elisa and said, “I reserved a table at Wiltspoon Hotel and ordered your favorite dishes. We can go eat right away.“You can go home after the meal, or if you want to go on a stroll, I can arrange for someone to accompany you.”In other words, he would not accompany Elisa himself.Julian came to pick Elisa up, but he planned to leave once he sent her back.His father found out that Zach
After thinking about it, Julian added with a smile, “But I can understand. Serenity has been married to Zachary for a year, and many outsiders say that she’s infertile. Now that she’s expecting, they must be relieved. It’s natural for everyone to be happy for her.”Remy chimed in, “Many people will be happy for you too if you can become a father in the future, Mr. Bucham.”Julian had hypoactive sexual desire disorder. If he did not meet a woman who could evoke a response from him, he could never become a real man in his life. He would be like an eunuch, let alone become a father.Remy’s words struck Julian, but fortunately, Julian was an open-minded person.Although he had this disorder, he did not care. It was not life-threatening, so the worst-case scenario was for him to remain single for the rest of his life. Being single was quite nice for him.He smiled and said, “If I have the opportunity to become a father, I don’t know if it’ll make others happy, but my old man will defin
Chameleon Fox turned to look at Dylan.After some time, she said, “Thanks for returning the token to me.”It was the end between him and Fox.Dylan stared at her and said, “Don’t be outside at midnight this often in the future. You should have a good rest.”It would make her fatigued in the morning. She would have to drink a few cups of coffee to stay alert.Fox smiled. “I like going out at midnight. It’s become a habit. Goodbye, Dylan.”She waved at him and opened the door. Soon, she disappeared from his sight.Since Imogen knew her token was in Wildridge Manor, she was no longer in a rush to get it back.It was because Dylan was still in Huntington. If she were to go to Wiltspoon and Dylan could not find her at the company, he would link her to Chameleon Fox. He already had suspicions that they were the same person.Wildridge Manor was a safe place anyway. She was not worried that the token would go missing.Dylan had hidden the token at the manor to keep it safe and preven
“Whether it’s Imogen, Chameleon Fox, or Sugar—aren’t they all you?”“I said I’m not Ms. Doyle.”Chameleon Fox’s expression hardened. “You’re a bastard, Dylan York. You flirted with me and Ms. Doyle before figuring everything out. This is two-timing. I won’t accept you, and neither would Ms. Doyle.”Dylan’s heated gaze focused on her face. He said, “You’re saying that you aren’t Imogen. Do you dare to remove your makeup, tear off your hyper-realistic mask, and show me your true face?”“Do you know what happens to those who have seen my true appearance? Death.“Everyone who has seen my face is already dead. If you wish to die, I can fulfill that wish for you. However, I don’t want to offend the York family and be their enemies. Don’t make me kill you.”She had only put on a layer of hyper-realistic mask that night. If she tore it off, it would reveal her true appearance.Dylan smiled. “That’s because you feel guilty. You dare not show me your true face because you’re Imogen and Su
Both Sugar and Chameleon Fox were not her true identity—her true self was Imogen Doyle. Dylan had to love her as Imogen. Imogen could not handle Dylan’s intense stare. She stood and asked, “When are you going to return my item? Give it back to me now. We should cut ties and never cross paths again.”“I don’t have it with me. I used to bring it along with me wherever I went, but you never came to get it. I left it at home. I didn’t bring it over.“Are you that desperate to cut off all communication with me? We’ve known each other for over half a year. Although we didn’t start on a good note, didn’t we get along afterward?”Dylan thought Imogen was trying to remove Fox from his life so he could get used to her being Imogen.“Do you have some misunderstanding toward the concept of ‘getting along’? We’ve only been quarreling or fighting whenever we met. Is that considered ‘getting along’? If it were not for you taking my thing and not returning it to me, I wouldn’t have had to chas
Dylan walked over and stood by the table. He did not stand beside her as he feared she would toss him over her shoulder.She did not like him being too close to her.“Are you still not admitting that you’re Imogen? I got the answer from my Nana. You’re Imogen. You’re also Sugar.”Imogen closed the book. She raised her head to look at Dylan. Her eyes were bright, and she had a smile on her face. “Are you sure your Nana said so? Do you have evidence that I’m Imogen Doyle?“Do I resemble her a lot?“Are our voices similar? What about our figures?”After a moment of silence, Dylan said, “Your face and voice aren’t like Imogen’s, but you two do have similar body shapes.“You’re called Chameleon Fox. It means you’re cunning and a master at disguising your looks. The only group of people who can disguise themselves perfectly in this world are the students of the legendary masters in the Imperial Force.“Sugar is Silver’s student, and Chameleon Fox is one of your fake identities. I don
Leticia knocked on the door of Imogen’s room but did not receive a response.“Jen is probably asleep. Stop knocking on the door. Look at the time now.”Winston reminded his wife that she should not wake their daughter as it was already late at night. Leticia stopped knocking and said, “I just wanted to talk to Jen because I haven’t seen her lately. I guess I’ll have to wait till her next day off if she’s asleep.”Although the Doyle family lived in the same mansion, the youngsters were always busy with company matters.They would always head out early in the morning and only be back late at night. Even during holidays, they barely had time to themselves because they had to meet clients.While Davidson Group was one of the best megacorporations in Huntington, the clients who worked with them were equally strong. There were also many competitors who would like to snatch business deals from Davidson Group.Therefore, Davidson Group had to maintain good relationships with their clie
However, Zachary was punished the least among the York brothers.He already started behaving like the eldest since he was young. He was calm and composed, unlike his naughty younger brothers. Gramps and Grandma May punished them often. Nevertheless, the York brothers liked being with their grandparents.“Enough of that. Let’s talk about you and Ms. Doyle. Have you wondered why she isn’t admitting that she’s Chameleon Fox? That’s just another alias of hers. Her true identity is Imogen Doyle, a young lady of the Doyle family.“She wants you to fall in love with Imogen instead of treating her as Fox. Although she’s also Fox, that isn’t her original self but simply an identity created through makeup.“If you two were to get married, you’d have to spend the rest of your lives as husband and wife. Ms. Doyle can’t possibly live with you as Chameleon Fox forever. She has already returned to her family. She’s no longer going on adventures with her teacher as Sugar either.“Everyone knows h
After a moment of silence, Imogen said, “You don’t like spicy food. Even drinking some spicy soup feels like taking poison to you. You don’t have to make yourself suffer. Just go back and never appear before me and my family again.“You’ve never liked me from the start anyway.”The person he loved was Chameleon Fox.Although it was one of her aliases, Imogen still felt that Dylan did not love her.She was probably the only person in the world who was jealous of herself.She raised the window and drove away.Dylan returned to his car and started following Imogen’s car from behind.Imogen initially wanted to go shopping with her friends. Upon seeing Dylan following her, she changed her mind and went home.When they arrived at the Doyles’ mansion, Imogen was able to drive inside while Dylan’s car was denied entry. Luckily, Leticia and the rest were not home.Otherwise, Dylan would be in trouble.He waited in front of the gates for some time. A security guard walked over and kn
A few minutes later.Imogen wanted to pretend she could not see the “statue” at the entrance of the company, but Dylan rushed out and blocked her way. Fortunately, she was not driving at a high speed and was able to stop the car immediately.She lowered the car window and scolded, “If you want to die, don’t die under my tires, Mr. Dylan. I don’t want to dirty my tires.”“I’m sorry for choosing such a dangerous way to stop your car, Imogen. However, you wouldn’t have stopped if I didn’t do this,” said Dylan apologetically.“What business do you have?”Imogen took a few deep breaths and added coldly, “It’s late and cold. Why are you standing here? Don’t blame me if you fall sick from the cold. I didn’t order you to stand here.“If you catch a cold, it's your problem. I’ve already said I didn’t need you to treat me to a meal.”Dylan smiled. “Considering that I’ve stood here for so long, will you do me the honor of letting me have a meal with you?”He handed her the frozen bouque
Imogen enjoyed the time she had spent with Grandma May. Therefore, she did not want to trouble the old lady.“I heard Old Mrs. York is a playful old lady. She loves having fun. She’s very healthy as well. I want to invite her to our place. She’ll be able to witness some interesting scenes.”Imogen replied, “You should unleash your dissatisfaction on Dylan, Layla. Don’t disturb Old Mrs. York. While she’s healthy, she’s already eighty. She shouldn’t travel far distances at her age. We won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens.”Old Mrs. York was the anchor of the York family.Imogen dared not risk her safety.She liked Grandma May and the Yorks.Her teacher had also said he could be at ease if she were to marry into the York family. If it were any other family, he would be worried about her husband or his family mistreating her.“Does Old Mrs. York know how to use WhatsApp?”“Yes. She’s good with electronic devices.”“Okay. Give me her number. That way, I can g
