Since Julian showed no positive reaction to the photos, Walter stuffed the prints back into the envelope in disappointment. He dejectedly uttered, “I wonder when you will find the girl. Grandma May is back, so I can meet with her. Maybe I can get her to invite the psychic to tell us where the girl is now.” Julian replied, “Dad, the psychic said that he won’t meet with us or Grandma May anymore since it’s written in the stars. The psychic has his principles. We probably can’t see him even if we try.” Walter had no words. It was true that the psychic said so. The psychic was willing to meet with Walter and give a reading for his son because their paths were meant to cross. It was goodbye since their path ended there. The psychic said the connection between the Buchams and Grandma May was intertwined, so his role in her story was over after meeting them. He asked Grandma May not to bother him again. Although Grandma May was hesitant, she respected the psychic’s wishes.
“We can’t anymore. The psychic said that it was the end of the road for us and Grandma May, so there won’t be future meetings. The psychic told us not to look for him, and even if we did track him down, he wouldn’t meet us. These clairvoyants play by the book, and it’s all about timing.” Stacy sighed. “I guess it’s a waiting game now.” She wondered and pined for the day she would meet her future daughter-in-law. “The brat could at least start the search or something, but he doesn’t seem to be around. God knows what he’s occupied with. Either way, whatever will be, will be. He’ll get married when it’s time without us pushing him to it.”Stacy added, “It’s not as if we can push him into marriage anyway.” It was out of their hands that their son ended up with such an illness. Julian, still in the study, took a picture of the girl on the keychain. He told his men to track her down. Since he found the keychain at the airport, the girl must be either arriving or departing Wiltsp
The setting sun caressed Hayden’s face with its rays, but even the sunlight could not melt her icy expression. Likewise for the blazing sun at noon, which was likely to fail in softening her tensed facial lines. “Kevin, I told you I don’t like flowers. Stop giving me flowers!” Hayden said as she shoved the bouquet away so that nothing could come in her path of leaving. Kevin took her hand, but Hayden broke free from his grasp. “Hayden, I’m trying to win you over. Flowers are a must to get me a wife.” Since Kevin followed Hayden along like a puppy, Hayden’s security detail was tempted to sneak up from behind and give him a kick in the derriere. Alas, they could only envision the scene in their heads as they could not possibly lay a hand on Kevin in reality. Donald and Sophia were not the only ones nice to Kevin. Even Hayden tolerated Kevin’s behavior. Hayden may appear annoyed every time Kevin showed up, but their employer had been patient with Kevin. The worst Hayden wou
It took several minutes before Hayden was about to slam the door and keep Kevin out of the car. When she thought she could finally leave the office, she was stopped by yet another suitor. It was Celine. Celine watched as Kevin’s shameless attachment rendered Hayden helpless. It was then Celine realized she must be bold to express her feelings and court Hayden if she liked him. Regardless of Hayden’s reaction or acceptance, Celine must work hard to prove her love. Celine still believed she was saving Hayden from a disaster. Kevin was a man. Hayden was also a man. There was still a lot of discrimination against same-sex couples in many parts of the world. The relationship was doomed right from the start. Most importantly, Hayden was not gay, and he despised Kevin. Celine wanted to adopt Kevin’s approach and pushed the competition away. Since she and Hayden were a man and woman, Hayden might just end up with her. It should send a strong message to Kevin to let Hayde
Celine broke free from the two security guards and turned back to give one of them a slap in the face. She yelled, “You’re nothing but watchdogs. You have no right to touch me. Do you think you can hurt me because I’m not the real heiress of the Fisher family? Even the real heiress has to think twice before crossing me.”Then came a smack. It did not come from Celine though. The security guard who was slapped returned the favor. Since the security guard was a man, he packed a lot of force into the slap. The heavy blow threw Celine off. With a hand over her cheek, she glared at the security guard in disbelief. The burning pain pulled Celine back to reality as she furiously swung her arm. Nevertheless, the security guard was not going to take her abuse lying down. He dodged Celine’s incoming palm and pushed her away. Celine staggered back until she regained footing. “How dare you hit me, b*stard! I’m going to kill you for pushing me!” Once she kept to her feet, Celine pi
“Hayden will not like you. You’re a man!” Celine blurted in anger before storming off. She could not beat Kevin. Her mother often reminded her to avoid taking Kevin head-on as York Corporation stood behind Kevin. Even her mother had to tread carefully around Kevin. Kevin told the two security guards, “You can get back to work. Don’t bother with this psycho. Don’t worry, I have your back.” Well, he was curious to see if Madam Fisher would get even with him on the imposter’s behalf. Kevin got a handle on the situation after Mrs. Stone’s discreet trip with Liberty to Jensburg—the Fishers and the Yorks were on opposite sides. Madam Fisher caused the death of Serenity’s grandmother! The two security guards thanked Kevin and went back to their posts. It was not as though they were afraid as they were merely carrying out Mr. Hayden’s orders to drag Celine away. Celine was playing with fire to block Mr. Hayden’s way. Celine should consider herself lucky that Mr. Hayden did n
How could Caroline possibly ditch the client for Celine at a time like this? Even if she did not need to meet a client, Caroline would not pick Celine up. The phony had occupied everything that was hers, and now that the truth was out, Celine never once apologized to Caroline. In fact, Celine pushed her around, so why should she fetch Celine from Queen Enterprise? “Who called you?” asked Madam Fisher tenderly as she noticed her daughter answering a call and promptly hanging up without a word.“It was Celine.” “What does she want now? Why did she call you?” The mother and daughter walked into the hotel. “She said her car is broken and ordered me to pick her up right away.” Caroline kept her tone flat. “Mom, I can’t possibly leave now to fetch her. I have a valid reason if she goes complaining to you.” Looking upset, Madam Fisher said, “Got it. I will talk to her if she comes to me. She does nothing all day long. You have to work, and we’re meeting an important client now.
“Mom?” Celine was surprised to hear Madam Fisher’s voice over the phone. She took a whole different personality, making herself to be the victim as she answered, “Mom, Kevin pulled one on me. He deflated all my tires, and I’m stranded with the car. It’s hot outside. I wanted Caroline to pick me up. It won’t take her a lot of time to make a trip to Queen Enterprise anyway since it’s after work hours, and it won’t get in the way of her working overtime.” “Why did you get involved with Kevin again? Do you take my advice seriously? I told you not to get on Kevin’s nerves. He’s a York! Even I am courteous with Kevin. Who do you think you are to stir trouble with Kevin?” Madam Fisher let her anger rip. For once, she lost her patience with Celine. “Do you think you can bear the consequences of the York family going after our family? If that happens, don’t blame me for disowning you to save the family.” “Mom!”Celine thought she was hearing things. Was she talking to the moth
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
