Chapter 222

Author: Gu Lingfei
‘Could Josh be right? Am I really jealous?

‘How can that be?’

Zachary sat down in the black swivel chair and took out his phone again. He was lost in thoughts for a long time. Then, he decided to put his ego aside and reply to Serenity’s message. When he opened WhatsApp, he recalled that he deleted her from his contacts.

Fortunately, he still remembered her phone number.

After another few moments of deliberation, he finally mustered the courage to call her.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available.”

Zachary was speechless.

‘Did Serenity turn off her phone?

‘Or did she block me?’

He immediately used the landline to call her. It rang, but he hung up before she could answer. That was because he was now sure that she blocked his cell phone number.

Zachary, who put down his ego and wanted to mend his relationship with his wife, was immediately sent back to square one after Serenity blocked his number.

‘I deleted her first, and she blocked me in return. Fine, we’re even

    The driver turned his head to look at Zachary in the backseat. When he saw Zachary’s cold expression, he quickly turned his head around and eyes back on the road. He was careful with the speed of the car, following the missus’ car from a decent distance.Jim thought of the most important question and turned to ask Zachary, “Mr. Zachary, where are you returning tonight?”‘Mr. Zachary stayed in Regent Residences yesterday, but he’s following Missus today. Is he going back to Brynfield?’Zachary was silent.After a while, he said, “Go back to Regent Residences, but...”He looked at the familiar car in front of him without saying a word.They silently escorted Serenity’s car back to Brynfield before he returned to his villa.Jim was a smart man and instantly saw through Zachary’s thoughts, so he told the driver the details.Serenity knew that there was a car following her, which was Zachary’s, but Wiltspoon was a big city so there were many cars on the road even late at night.

    They then waited until late at night when there were only a few cars on the road. They waited by the road for Serenity to pass by and stop her car.“How much money she spent has nothing to do with me. Back then, when she used money to cut off our ties as grandparents and grandchildren, she said we neither had to take care of her when she was alive nor bury her when she died. You weren’t old enough to remember that. If you don’t know what happened that year, look back at the online post I made or ask your parents about it.“However, your parents probably won’t admit it. The money the Hunt family is spending was the compensation money my parents gave with their lives. Otherwise, how could they live such happy lives now?”Serenity’s expression was icy cold as she retorted to Noah.“I don’t care. Get out of the car. I’ll give you until the count of three. If you don’t get out, I’ll smash your car.”Noah was extremely arrogant since he had numbers on his side.The punks he brought wit

    Noah miscalculated. He chose the wrong place.This was near a traffic light intersection, so there was surveillance everywhere.It was true that they started the fight and Serenity was only acting in self-defense.Noah thought it would be easy to deal with Serenity if he came with a group of seven or eight men as she was a weak woman. Unexpectedly, she knew how to fight. His family never told him that she knew the art of self-defense.“What do you want?”Noah tried to save his ear, but Serenity pulled harder. He screamed in pain and cursed, “Let go! My parents won’t forgive you if you rip my ear off!”“Call me Sis.”“Bah! You’re not my sister.”“Yeah, I’m not your sister. I don’t have a cousin like you.”Serenity tugged harder, and Noah wailed in pain. His companions had long been frightened by her fighting skills when they were defeated by her. Seeing her abusing Noah’s ear, they quietly retreated.“Stop right there, all of you!” Serenity’s bellow made the punks freeze in th

    “Yeah, I’m cold-hearted and ruthless, but are you righteous and loyal? You didn’t know how your parents and the others treated me before, but do you still not know now? Do you think I’ll let it go just because it’s in the past? I’ll never forget what they did to me for the rest of my life!”Noah opened his mouth, but he was unable to refute it.In the end, he stood up, turned around, and ran.Serenity went after him and swept him to the ground with a single kick. Then, she grabbed his shirt roughly and dragged him back, causing him to scream in pain again as his skin grazed the ground.After throwing him at the group of punks, she warned them, “I advise you to stay here obediently and wait for the police to rescue you. If anyone dares to run, don’t blame me for being impolite.”The punks were frightened by Serenity’s ferocity. No one dared to run again.Noah kept cursing at Serenity, and she warned him with a dark expression, “One more word out of you and I’ll beat you till your

    When Serenity got home, it was already one in the morning.The house was dark when she pushed the door open. Either Zachary did not come back, or he was in his room.Serenity silently closed the door, locked it, and turned on the lights in the hall. After a minute of silence, she went to Zachary’s room. She was just about to raise her hand to knock on the door before she remembered that it was already late at night, and Nana had mentioned that Zachary would be furious if he was awakened before his natural body clock woke him up.She dismissed the idea of knocking on the door.So what if he was at home?They were having a cold war.She finally turned around and went into her room.The night passed without a word.The next morning, Serenity was catching up on her sleep because she went to bed too late last night. Zachary, who went back to Regent Residences, woke up as usual. He changed into sportswear and prepared to go out for a morning run.When he went downstairs, Sam told hi

    “What did Serenity do to keep you from going back to Brynfield?”“Nothing.”“Zack, I watched you grow up. In this family, the person who knows you best is me. If nothing happened between you two, you wouldn’t have come back here to stay. What exactly did Serenity do? It’s fine even if you don’t want to tell me. I can find out when I go to her shop later and ask her.”Zachary stopped and looked at his grandmother, feeling a little angry. “Nana, we agreed that you won’t interfere in anything after I get married to Serenity.”“I’m not interfering. I’m just concerned and want to know what happened to you two. You’re proud and egotistical, but you pretend to be poor and marry Serenity. She doesn’t know your true identity at all. Even if you’re wrong, you won’t easily bow your head and apologize. When it has come to this point, you need me to be the mediator to help you ease your frozen relationship.”Old Mrs. York indeed promised Zachary that she would not interfere in the married coup

    Old Mrs. York was infuriated at her grandson’s behavior, so much so she did not want to walk anymore. She sat down on a stone bench by the roadside.She spent so much effort talking her grandson into agreeing to get married, but...Zachary was silent for a moment. He then came over and sat beside his nana. He said calmly, “Nana, you know that love can’t be forced. I was raised by you, and you asked me to marry her to repay your kindness, so I listened to you.“You promised me that you won’t interfere with our married life. The day I got my marriage license with Serenity, I told you that I have to examine her character and see if she’s worthy for me to spend the rest of my life with. Otherwise, we’ll end it in half a year.”Old Mrs. York said grumpily, “With your nasty temper, you wouldn’t admit it even if you fell in love with Serenity.”Zachary was speechless.“Forget it, I’m not angry. I was wrong when I forced you to marry Serenity. You’re right. Love can’t be forced. You can

    “I’m outside now. I’m going to your store to have breakfast with you. By the way, you don’t need to get takeouts for breakfast, Seren. I bought three portions. I’ll bring them over to eat with you and Jasmine.”“Sure. Wait for me in the store then. I’ll be right there. But Nana, you don’t have to get up so early in the future. You can sleep in. I won’t be hungry.”“I’m old now and a light sleeper. I wake up as soon as the sun rises, so I’m used to it. I’m not worried about you going hungry. I just like eating with you. Food tastes especially good when it’s with you.”Serenity laughed.For the past few months, she often ate with the old lady.Old Mrs. York knew that many old stores in Wiltspoon serve delicious snacks. She would often take Serenity and Jasmine to eat all these famous and most authentic snacks in Wiltspoon.Serenity and Jasmine both felt that Old Mrs. York was definitely a glutton when she was in her youth.Now that she was old, she could not eat a lot.

    Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

    Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

    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
