Chapter 236

Author: Gu Lingfei
“We just finished.”

Jasmine quickly cleaned up the dishes, and Elisa asked out of curiosity, “There are four sets of cutlery. Is there someone else?”

Jasmine said while cleaning up, “Serenity’s grandmother-in-law came over. She’s in the washroom now.”

Elisa hummed and stopped asking.

She was aware of Serenity’s marriage. Due to the trending news before, she even told her brother to fire John Hunt. She understood Serenity and the Hunt family’s disputes more than others, so undoubtedly she knew Serenity was married too.

Not many people from the outside world knew about it.

Elisa was not a nosy person, so she did not ask about Serenity’s love life.

After Jasmine cleaned up the table, Serenity poured a glass of water for Elisa.

“Why are you back from vacation so soon, Ms. Stone?”

“It’s because I’m worried about my sweetheart, of course. I was with my parents by the beach for two days and came back to the city last night. I have something to tell you, Serenity. This morning, I went

    Serenity had no knowledge that Zachary was the heir of the York family, who was also Elisa’s crush.Elisa only mentioned Mr. York and did not say Zachary’s name, so the two did not know that they were talking about the same person.“Serves him right!” Old Mrs. York snickered in the washroom. “The show is getting more and more exciting.”Old Mrs. York, who had the mindset of watching a good show, perked her ears and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two girls outside.Serenity had not forgotten about Nana. After chatting with Elisa for a while, she said to her best friend, “Jasmine, go check up on Nana. She’s been in the washroom for a long time.”Jasmine hummed and turned to walk to the washroom.Sonny was sitting by the side, playing with his toys. Even if there was no adult looking after him, he would simply play in the store instead of wandering out. He was a smart boy.Elisa had thought that her ploy did not work, but after hearing Serenity’s idea, she w

    “It’s a pair of phoenixes, a male and a female.”Serenity got up and walked to the big box where she stored her crafts to bring out a delicate and beautiful box. She placed the box in front of Elisa and said, “They’re inside.”Elisa opened the box and retrieved two well-woven phoenixes from it, and complimented, “They’re so lifelike. Serenity, your hands are amazing. How much are these phoenixes? I’ll buy them.”“We’re close, and you think of me as a friend, so I’ll just charge you the cost for the materials.”Elisa placed the two phoenixes back into the box and said, “It’s precisely because we’re friends that I can’t take advantage of you. I’ll pay however much it’s worth. I can’t just pay you for the cost of the materials. I’ve seen the price of your goods on the online store. I don’t remember the exact number, but these two phoenixes seem to cost a few hundred.”She took out her purse from her Hermès bag and withdrew a small stack of cash. Without even counting, she shoved the

    In a hotel not far from Wiltspoon Hospital, Noah Hunt’s parents knocked on the room door of the eldest son of the Hunt family, Stuart Hunt.When Stuart opened the door and saw his youngest brother with his wife looking worried, he asked with concern, “David, what happened? You two don’t look very good.”“Stuart, Noah hasn’t come back since he went out yesterday. We’re worried something might’ve happened to him.”Noah’s father was the youngest among the Hunt siblings, and his parents loved him the most, so they gave him the name David, which meant beloved.“Did Noah say what he was doing?” As the eldest of the Hunt family, Stuart was good at maintaining his composure.David hesitated for a moment and said, Noah said he was going to settle the score with Serenity and make her pay for Mom’s medical bills, but he hasn’t returned since he went out yesterday. His cell phone is turned off too.”Noah’s family did not know that he was being detained in the police station now, and his phon

    “Sure, let’s call them.”Stuart also felt that it was better to have more people on their side and agreed with David to call his son and nephew.Unexpectedly, when David called his eldest nephew, Mike, he received news from Mike instead. “Uncle David, I was just about to call you. Something happened to Noah.”David’s face turned ashen, and he quickly asked, “What happened to Noah? He said he went to ask Serenity for money. Did she beat him up? If that damned girl dares to touch a single hair on my boy, I’ll end her! I’ll go back and dig up her mother’s grave!”Serenity’s father was David’s third brother, so David would not dig up his grave. However, his third sister-in-law was not related to him by blood. Since Serenity angered him, he would dig up his third sister-in-law’s grave for real.“Noah brought a few punks to intercept Serenity’s car in the middle of the night. They also brought iron bars and wanted to smash her car, but she fought back. The punks and Noah are being detai

    Mike hung up the phone, ignoring his aunt’s scolding.He then let out a long sigh.He seriously felt he was unlucky because Serenity was unharmed even after he got help from so many people.Mike also felt that Serenity had a backer, but he did not know who that was.None of the mediators were willing to help Mike, which indicated that Serenity’s backer must be someone powerful in Wiltspoon. Through their investigation, Mike also did not notice that Serenity and Liberty knew any influential figures.Although Liberty’s husband was a manager in a large company, he was just an employee. Mike had no idea what kind of job Serenity’s husband had for a living, but he found out from the townspeople that Serenity’s husband only drove a national car worth around one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.Any of the Hunts’ scooters was better than the car belonging to Serenity’s husband.This showed that Serenity’s husband was not doing so well.If Mike were to guess who Serenity’s backer wa

    Liberty returned to the bookstore and had another unsuccessful day at job hunting.Zachary was speechless when he heard what his grandmother told him.His grandmother sounded like she was gloating.“I won’t talk nonsense with you. Just come over for lunch now. Otherwise, I’ll tell Serenity that you’re the heir to York Corporation! Don’t try me. I found you a way to break this stalemate, but you don’t want to budge. By the way, I’ll tell you another secret. The gift that Elisa wants to give you is from Serenity. You’ll only know what it is when you accept it.”Zachary’s face turned even darker.His grandmother promised him that she would not interfere in his affairs with Serenity, but she threatened him by saying she would reveal his real identity to Serenity.Zachary hung up the call, but Grandma May did not care. She was also about to end the call anyway.“Mr. York, Ms. Stone refuses to give way,” the driver turned his head and said to Zachary.Zachary was silent for a minute.

    Zachary’s exclusive car drove away from the entrance of York Corporation. Jim only let go of Elisa after Zachary’s car was out of sight.Elisa turned around to slap Jim.Jim quickly grabbed her wrist and warned her with a cold expression, “Ms. Stone, I don’t discriminate between men and women in a fight.”“Let me go! I dare you to hit me!”Jim flung Elisa’s hand away fiercely and said coldly, “I won’t hit you if you don’t hit me. Ms. Stone, if you’re rude to me, I’ll treat you the way you treat me.”Although Jim was a bodyguard, he did not feel inferior to others.His boss treated the bodyguards like brothers.If Elisa used her identity to threaten and hit Jim, Jim would not be polite to her.“You!”Elisa was shocked by Jim’s cold attitude. Unlike Serenity, Elisa did not know martial arts. She only used her status to act as she pleased in Wiltspoon and had never met another young lady who was more powerful than her. That was why Elisa could do whatever she wanted.Jim was not

    “Zack, you’re here!”Grandma May came out of the store when she heard the sound of a car outside. She saw her grandson and walked over with a smile. Seeing that his grandson got out of the car empty-handed, she lowered her voice in dissatisfaction and said, “You came here like this?”“How else should I show up?”Grandma May was speechless.Zachary was truly an unromantic blockhead!Grandma May had to be the bad guy and nagged Zachary for two to three months, which annoyed him so much that he promised to marry Serenity, ending his bachelorhood. Otherwise, with his personality, Zachary would probably still be a bachelor in his forties.“Don’t you know how to buy a bunch of flowers or some gifts for Serenity?”“She doesn’t need it. The balcony at home is full of flowers. She can enjoy them whenever she likes.”Grandma May wanted to kick Zachary, but she held back.That was because if she kicked her biological grandson, she would feel heartbroken too.“Zachary’s here.”Liberty s

    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
