Chapter 2250

Author: Gu Lingfei
“Is Duncan home?”

“Yeah, he’s back. He’s resting in his room.”

Corey drew near. “Why are you up?”

Derek closed the magazine. “You’re worried about our son, and so am I. I can’t get a good night’s rest until Duncan is home. I need to hear the sound of his car to know he’s back before I can sleep.”

“I know, right? Neither of us can sleep until he’s home.”

“Did he say why he was late home tonight? What did you talk to him about?”

Corey sat in bed and pulled the covers while saying, “He was waiting for Liberty. He came home from escorting Liberty home after she was finished with work. Liberty was really busy today, but she won’t work this late anymore. Our son is doing well. Don’t worry. It’s late. Get some sleep. We didn’t talk much, only a little about his future with Liberty.”

Derek waited until his wife was down and cozy before killing the lights. “What’s the point of talking about that? Duncan hasn’t fully recovered yet. He won’t be together with Liberty for fear he woul

    “Hand over every valuable item you have on your body and in your car. Quick!”Quinn could not see what the driver looked like but she could vaguely hear the robber’s words. She ran over immediately. When the man handed his wallet to one of the robbers with trembling hands, Quinn rushed over and kicked the wallet out of the robber’s hand. Her actions were incredibly swift. She turned and sprinted to catch the falling wallet. Next, with a flick of her wrist, the wallet went inside the car through the open door, bounced off the windshield, then landed on the passenger seat, Everyone was stunned. Quinn’s movements were too fast. She did everything in quick succession. When everyone returned to their senses, Quinn had already kicked two motorbikes over. Before the riders could get up, she picked up the metal bat and beat them up. They howled in pain as they writhed on the floor. A few robbers, whose motorbikes had not been kicked over, jumped off and surrounded Quinn with

    Julian fancied women like that. He did not like delicate ladies at all and was unable to develop feelings for them either. Actually, Julian was afraid when he confirmed that Quinn was his fated one, fearing that she would be a soft and delicate woman. However, the results of his investigation were a pleasant surprise. The surprise Quinn had given him after meeting her in person was greater. Her martial arts skills were most likely on par with his. As a young master of the Buchams, his wife had to be someone as skilled as Quinn. That way, she would be able to exercise her authority. “Are you okay, sir?”While Julian was staring at Quinn blankly, she was eyeing him too. Her first impression of Julian was that he was extremely attractive. She had never seen such a good-looking man before. Before coming to Wiltspoon, she heard that there were a few popular handsome guys in Wiltspoon. One of them was the CEO of York Corporation, Zachary York. It was difficult to spot

    “May I have your name?” Julian asked. Quinn gave him a business card. “My name’s Quinn Crawford. I’m a martial arts coach, but my students are all children.”Julian took her business card and kept it after reading it thoroughly. He gave her his business card too. However, his identity as a young master of the Buchams was not stated on the card. He simply introduced himself as the CEO of a random company he owned. Quinn received the card with both hands. After taking a look, she smiled and said, “Are you a CEO? The CEOs on TV always have a team of bodyguards with them. Why didn’t you bring a few bodyguards with you, Mr. Bucham?”Julian grinned. “I did have bodyguards with me for several years. However, some of them had to care for their elderly parents while others were forced by their parents to get married. They had no choice but to resign and return to their hometowns for marriage.“Therefore, I haven’t found any suitable bodyguards to replace the old ones.”Quinn did not a

    Quinn was unaware of it. She did not even know that she had already fallen into Julian’s trap. On the way back to the hotel, the straightforward and eloquent Quinn had a pleasant conversation with Julian. It felt as if they had known each other for years instead of this being their first meeting. Julian had grown to like his fated partner more. As expected of his woman, Quinn was not only skilled in fighting but she was also outspoken and had a frank personality. A woman like her was suitable for him. “Since you’re a CEO, Mr. Bucham, did you have a chance to work with Mr. York? I’ve heard of Mr. York and his wife’s love story even though I was in Summervale.”Summervale was a small city that paled in comparison to Wiltspoon. It was a distance away from Wiltspoon too.Julian was not surprised that Quinn mentioned Zachary and Serenity. From his investigation, Quinn had a hobby of reading novels aside from coaching and exercising. His sister-in-law, Jasmine, shared the same

    “Frankly speaking, even I want to hire you as my bodyguard. I’m short-staffed right now. With your skills, I believe you’ll be able to single-handedly ensure my safety.”Quinn said with a smile, “Don’t mention it, Mr. Bucham.”Julian did not have to call her his benefactor. He was the most polite person among all the people she had helped before. As expected of a CEO, he had good manners. Quinn could sense that Julian was a person who knew how to express gratitude. The heavens would bless someone like him. She believed his business would improve. “If I were to get tired of my job one day, please give me a job as a bodyguard, Mr. Bucham. I can be a security guard too. I won’t be picky about the job as long as I can earn money through my efforts. I can accept any job that’s legal and doesn’t involve stealing or robbing.”Quinn knew she had no other specialties aside from martial arts. Therefore, she was fine with any job as long as she could get one. Anyone could become an

    Julian got out of the car and bid Quinn goodbye. He watched as she walked into Wiltspoon Hotel and only got back into the car after she disappeared from sight. Next, he took his phone and called his trusty assistant. The call connected and he asked, “How’s everyone’s injuries?”“Mr. Julian, our future missus was ruthless. Everyone has injuries of different severity and needs to be hospitalized.”Julian was happy when he heard his assistant addressing Quinn as the future missus. He liked the ring of it. She was destined to be his. Quinn was growing on Julian. The heavens have treated him well by leading such an outspoken girl to him. He finally had the chance to become a real man. However, he was older than her by ten years. Would Quinn dislike him for being too old?Julian had never felt old. Men his age were still at their primes. Moreover, he kept himself in good shape and looked like he was in his twenties. No one could tell that he was thirty-four years old from hi

    The night passed and morning came.At East Hill Apartments, Liberty held Sonny’s bag as she walked to the door. She urged him, “Quick, Sonny. You’re going to be late.”Sonny was dawdling. He took his shoes from his room, sat on the sofa, and put them on slowly. “Can I not go to preschool today, Mom?”Before preschool started, Sonny had always thought going to preschool was fun. He had so much fun on registration day that he did not want to go home. He even cried when Liberty wanted to take him home. However, after some time, Sonny felt being at home was much more satisfying. If his Mom could not look after him, he could go to Aunt Ser’s place, Uncle Zak’s office, or Grandaunt Audrey’s home.All of those options were better than going to preschool. Most importantly, Sonny needed to wake up early every day to attend school. He could no longer sleep in as he did in the past. As Mom had to head to work, she would take him to preschool early in the morning. He was always the

    Liberty hugged him back. She spoke gently, “I’ve neglected you and haven’t been accompanying you much because I’ve been too busy lately. Why don’t I take you to the seaside this weekend?”“Is Aunt Ser coming?”“We can invite her and Aunt Elisa too.”Sonny said happily, “Okay. I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t say anything about not wanting to go preschool anymore.”Liberty pulled away from him and smiled. “I’m happy you can understand me and correct your mistakes. You’re my good boy.”She then pecked his cheek and Sonny kissed her back. “Let’s go to preschool now, Mom.”Sonny pulled Liberty’s hand and walked toward the door. “I can carry my own bag, Mom.”Liberty passed the bag to him. He carried it and exited the house with her. Sonny waited as Liberty locked the door. Then, Liberty turned around and was about to hold Sonny’s hand when she saw a man looking at them from a distance. That man was the drunkard she bumped into in the elevator last night. The drunkard looked more

    There were still traces of blood at the corners of her mouth and under her nose.Justin and Jason worked together to pull Caroline out, and Adrian immediately tied her legs together before binding her hands behind her back.“Are you going to feed me to the fish, Adrian?”Hearing the sound of the waves and feeling the cold sea breeze, Caroline shivered.She did not stand up and remained lying on the ground.Adrian kicked her several times, venting his pent-up anger.Caroline silently endured it.After kicking her a few times, Adrian squatted, gripping Caroline's chin forcefully with one hand, and said coldly, “Caroline, there’s nothing more to say between us.“Don’t blame us for being heartless. You’re the one who pushed us to this point.“You only have yourself to blame.“Where are the passwords and keys to Mom's private assets? Tell us, and we’ll make it quick for you, so you won’t suffer too much.“If you don’t, we have plenty of time to slowly cut you piece by piece and m

    “We can’t just keep giving them money, now can we?”Adrian replied, “That’s not a priority for now. We can burn that bridge when we come to it. If they do dare blackmail us, we’ll just send them on to meet their maker.“The only thing is they both have families. If we kill them, we have to kill their families too. That way, there’ll be no one who’ll report it to the police.“And it’s best to make it seem like an accident too, or else it’ll seem suspicious.”Justin and Jason both felt Adrian was right. If they were going to kill the Dott brothers, they might as well kill their families too.Caroline internally cursed how merciless they were. The Dott brothers thought they could earn some money from Adrian to live a better life but little did they know, it would bring destruction upon themselves and their families.What the Clark brothers did not know was that the Dotts were forced to say what they did earlier.It was not that they had not left yet. Rather, they could not, because

    Belinda had done everything other mothers would have. She loved them, yet the three of them had gotten a smaller portion of her wealth than their own children did. Indeed, Belinda left her grandchildren with more money.After all, her grandchildren still had a long life ahead of them.Therefore, she distributed more wealth to them. The Clark brothers loved spending lavishly and kept losing money whenever they tried to establish businesses. They also had many mistresses and never hesitated to spend money on them. Belinda was partial toward her sons about their affairs and also persuaded her daughters-in-law not to get a divorce. In truth, she resented her three sons for being promiscuous and inheriting their father’s flirtatious traits. While Hunter may have been interested in other girls, he dared not cheat on Belinda because she was strict. However, he still had an affair the moment he spotted an opportunity.Later, Belinda chased the Clark brothers’ mistresses out of

    Celine, whom they had cared for all long, was not their biological sister but the daughter of the previous butler. Celine’s father was ambitious. He tried making his daughter the Fisher family’s successor. Justin was speechless.“Free me, Jason. I’m already in your hands. Are you still scared that I’ll escape? Let me out. It’s too stuffy in the sack. I feel terrible.”Caroline made a request. Jason seemed to be the one with some lingering feelings for his sibling. Well, that was not really the case.If he truly had even a sliver of sibling love for Caroline, he would have stopped Adrian and Justin from kidnapping her instead of joining the plan. If Caroline had been fortunate, she could have had five brothers doting on her. Sadly, she was unlucky. None of the five brothers had cared for her. They all wanted her dead. Was she a failure as a person, or were they too cruel?Jason said, “Just stay put, Caroline. We’ll let you out when we arrive.”They could not release Car

    Caroline could not beat them. Then, her mouth was gagged with a cloth, and her head was covered with a sack. Someone forced her into a car. She heard Adrian saying to his brothers, “Let’s go.“Tell Celine’s brothers to follow us. Assign a few people to clean up and leave quickly.”After that, Caroline heard the sound of an engine starting. The car moved. She could not see what was happening. While she was shoved into the backseat, her arms and legs were unbound. She removed the cloth from her mouth but not the sack from her head.Someone held the sack tightly and started hitting and kicking her. “Tie the sack, Justin,” said Jason in a hurry. The person beating her up was Justin. “I know it’s you guys, Justin and Jason. What are you doing? Let me go. Mmph…”Caroline grunted in pain. She suffered a punch from Justin. She held her head tightly to prevent any injury to it. Many blows landed on her body. “It’s fine even if you know it’s us, Caroline. You better stay

    “Ms. Caroline.”The bodyguards looked toward Caroline. Caroline opened her eyes and said calmly, “Stop the car, but don’t get out. Only get out when the situation gets out of hand. Remember to protect yourselves.”“Ms. Caroline…”“I’ll keep myself safe. Don’t worry. I treasure my life. There’s still a long life ahead of me. I haven’t even started enjoying good days. I won’t want to die.”Caroline chuckled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. There was sorrow in those eyes. In the end, she and her brothers could not coexist. It made her realize how bad her luck was with families. She was switched at birth and mistreated by her adoptive family. She thought her biological parents would treat her well after returning to them, but it turned out to be the opposite. Caroline had many family members, yet somehow, she was still alone. The people who truly cared about her were Darren, Liberty, and some others. Caroline’s bodyguards knew she had been waiting for that moment.

    The bodyguard in the passenger seat turned and informed Caroline. Caroline remained calm. She said, “Speed up and let them chase us. The road ahead has many curves. A truck will turn over if it goes too fast.”The people in the truck were probably her brothers from the Dott family. She wondered how much money Adrian had given them. Were they planning to drive the truck to chase her and create an accident?Caroline’s driver immediately acted on her orders. The truck behind them accelerated as well. Soon, they arrived at the section of the road with many curves and downhills.Accidents could happen easily if a car drove too quickly at a curve. The truck driver was not ready to give up his life. He decelerated when he saw the curved road ahead. By the time the truck turned, Caroline’s car was gone. The truck driver immediately stepped on the brake. He stopped by the roadside and made a call. He was not one of the Dott brothers but someone else they hired. The driver c

    “They’re my biological brothers and father, Em. Although they had attacked me with their words before, they never hurt me physically.“It’s okay. I have bodyguards with me.”Caroline was letting Emma know that she would still be heading home. After sighing, Emma said, “Be careful. Call the police if something feels off. We didn’t treat you well in the past, Carol, but I saw through your family and came to a realization.“You helped me a lot, and you’re the aunt of my children. I wish you well.”Caroline knew Emma was genuinely concerned about her. Ever since she exposed her brothers’ affairs and took her sisters-in-law’s side, her sisters-in-law, especially Emma, have changed their attitudes toward her. When Adrian and Emma were fighting on the verge of divorcing, Caroline stood by Emma unwaveringly. She had also assisted Emma in many instances. Although Emma had left the Fisher family, she would always be Caroline's sister-in-law. “I will be careful and live well, Em.

    Since it would be a sleepless night, drinking some coffee could help them stay awake. At eleven o’clock, Caroline and her bodyguards left the cafe. She sensed some people had been following her the entire night. The bodyguards had also noticed it, but Caroline prevented them from alarming those people and let them continue following her. It would be none other than Adrian’s people anyway. Adrian, Justin, and Jason had finished their tasks early and got off work on time. They had the entire night to themselves as they did not have to work or attend events. After Caroline got in her car, she suddenly received a call from Emma. She picked up the call. “Hi, Emma.”“You can call me comfortably, Carol. I’m not your sister-in-law anymore.”Caroline immediately switched to Emma’s nickname. “Why aren’t you asleep but calling me at this hour, Em? I hope my nieces and nephews are obedient. Now that the school term has started, you should be able to relax when they’re at school
