Chapter 2396

Author: Gu Lingfei
“I’m in the big business, but I have a team to run the business for me, sir. Even if I’m not around in the office for months, the company will still be fine. I think I can start training and see where I go from there.

“I am looking to hire bodyguards. I hope you can recommend some capable and trustworthy individuals for the job. I can offer the same great benefits as my office workers. I will make it worth their while if they do a good job.”

Quinn said that Power Fitness was not just about training strength, but also to direct the students to a life of integrity. The Crawfords would not tolerate bullying or lawbreaking from any of the students.

They would punish and cut ties with students who abused their training, not wanting to be associated with them anymore.

As such, Julian could have the utmost confidence in the people recommended by Dave.

Julian would have to keep up with the lies like Zachary if he hired Dave’s recommendations though.

Technically, Julian did not have

    A while later, Dave answered, “Quinn is an adult. She’s free to go wherever she wants. All we are expecting as parents is that she lets us know where she goes.“We have no problem if she wants to go to the wedding.”Dave was not worried about anything happening to his daughter. He was happy enough so long as his daughter stayed out of trouble. However, people might get the wrong idea about Quinn and Julian’s relationship if they were to attend Zachary’s wedding together. Quinn was twenty-four years old. His wife often nagged him about pulling Quinn into self-defense. Now, Quinn had muscles that scared off potential suitors, and she had no takers. Dave did not stop Quinn from attending Zachary’s wedding with Julian. It was great for his daughter to see the world and broaden her horizons. Julian smiled. “You’re an open-minded parent, sir.” Dave grinned and asked Julian to enjoy the fruit and snacks. Julian tasted the fruits and stayed away from the snacks. A car pulled up

    Will and Mark made a run for it. Zoey did not want to hear Will and Mark saying that they would take care of Quinn. She thought it would jinx Quinn from finding a man.Julian got up when he saw Will and Mark coming out of the kitchen. Dave introduced his sons to Julian, and Julian said hello to his future brothers-in-law. Will and Mark courteously greeted Julian while sizing him up. When everybody sat down, Will asked Julian. “I heard from Quinn that you’re interested in joining our gym?” Julian smiled. “That’s right.” Mark cut to the chase. He said, “You’re a little old to start off with training. Even if you pass our character assessment and pay the fees, you can’t learn much. You’re wasting your money, and we don’t want to scam you.” Julian said with a smile, “I know. Ms. Crawford and Mr. Crawford have made that clear. Money isn’t the issue. I just want to learn and take it from there. At least, I can work out.” Will and Mark left the conversation at that. Quinn and

    Quinn put down her bag of mozzarella sticks and went to fetch her father a bottle of good wine and a few wine glasses. Dave poured Julian a full glass and asked, “Do you drink?” “Dad, Mr. Bucham has to socialize for business, so he has to drink,” Quinn replied on behalf of Julian. Julian smiled. “Alcohol and business go hand-in-hand, but I don’t usually drink a lot. Two glasses is my limit for beer, and I can handle a glass of liquor. I won’t let myself go wasted. It’s not good for my health, and anything can happen.” “That’s good, Julian. You must know your limit when it comes to drinking,” Zoey praised him. Julian’s face beamed. He had a good understanding of the Crawfords’ individual personalities. If Julian’s close friends were there, they would roll their eyes at Julian’s statement. There was no way Julian would stop at two beers. Julian had lied through his teeth. It would take more than two glasses of beer to take Julian down. Besides, beer was not Julian’s u

    Quinn said with a smile, “My mom will get adventurous with food sometimes, but she prefers the familiar healthy choices.” Locals in Summervale had a taste for rich, flavorful food. Zoey, a northerner with a taste for bland food, eventually influenced the rest of the family to adopt her culinary preferences.Of course, Zoey was not selfish. She considered her husband and children's love of flavorful food and would try new dishes every couple of days. However, she could not bring herself to eat the food as it did not sit well with her stomach.Dave felt bad for his wife and told everybody to get takeaways if they had cravings. “So Mrs. Crawford is from the north like me. No wonder I felt a connection to her right away.” It dawned on Julian. Julian knew where Zoey was from, but he did not feel it was polite to ask her about it during their first meeting.Zoey came from a town far from Wiltspoon. The area had no public transportation, so Zoey would have to drive for hours to g

    Two days passed in the blink of an eye and here came Zachary and Serenity’s wedding day. The doors of Wildridge Manor were wide open to welcome guests from all cities. The guests would travel to the manor right after landing in Wiltspoon and would stay at Wiltspoon Hotel as arranged by the Yorks. The hotel’s operation would only resume the day after the wedding. Serenity was awakened by Liberty before sunrise. The makeup artist Zachary hired had already arrived and was waiting for Serenity to wake up. The plan was to put on some light makeup on Serenity, suitable for pregnant ladies. Serenity was sleepy. She did not sleep well as she was too excited and chatted with her friends for a long time before bed. After being awakened by Liberty, Serenity tubbed her eyes and looked outside. She closed her eyes again when she saw the barely lit sky and murmured, “Let me sleep a little longer, Liberty. It’s only a simple makeup that won’t take long. Let the makeup artist eat somethi

    As Serenity walked to the bathroom, she said, “You’ve told me the same thing countless times. I can memorize them already.”Liberty laughed. “Have I? I felt like I’ve only said it twice. I’m just worried about you. It wasn’t easy for you to get pregnant, so you must be extra careful. There’ll be many people during the reception. Anyway, you should take care. I reminded Zachary about this too.”“Did Zachary promise you that he won’t let anyone bump into me?”Liberty nodded. “He did.”“You have nothing to be concerned about then. Since Zachary said so, nothing will happen to me. Don’t worry too much. You’ve been worrying about the wedding for the past few days.”Furthermore, Liberty did not let Serenity help out. She would tell Serenity to sit or lie down even with the slightest movement. Serenity was in perfect pink of health, so her baby was definitely healthy and strong too. The baby would not be affected that easily. However, Serenity still listened to her strict sister and

    Alice would still throw up every day. She did not gain any weight other than the baby’s throughout her pregnancy. It hurt Clive to see her that way. He harped on about only having one child and refused to put Alice through another pregnancy again. Due to his nagging, Alice wished she would give birth to a son. Although Clive did mention that he preferred a daughter, she wished to have a son who could inherit the Stone family’s legacy. Serenity often told Zachary about Alice’s honesty. Many people would refrain from revealing their preference for a specific gender for fear of being accused of discrimination. However, Alice never failed to be straightforward in saying she wanted a boy.“Mom.”Speaking of the devil, Serenity and Liberty heard Sonny’s voice. At first, Liberty thought she was hearing things. It was still too early in the morning, and Sonny would usually not be up. After hearing his voice again, Serenity told Liberty, “It’s Sonny. He’s awake.”Liberty exited the w

    Serenity and Sonny whispered to each other their complaints about Liberty being too scary as they walked. Liberty, who overheard them from behind, was speechless. She was like a mother figure to Serenity. She wanted to marry Serenity off extravagantly. “Missus.”The makeup artist Zachary hired stood and greeted Serenity with a smile when she saw her walking down the stairs. Serenity returned a smile. “Good morning, Ms. Gardner. Sorry to have made you wait. I woke up late this morning as I had gone to bed late last night.”“I didn’t wait long. Go ahead and have your breakfast. Then, we can start after you have a short rest.”Most people were not yet aware of Serenity being pregnant. As Ms. Gardner was the makeup artist, Zachary had disclosed Serenity’s pregnancy to her. He also reminded her to use skincare that was harmless for pregnant women. “Let’s eat together, Ms. Gardner.”Ms. Gardner refused politely, “I’ve eaten before coming over.”As she was a seasoned bridal mak

    Immediately, someone brought a large cup of water for Dylan. Imogen took the cup and handed it to him, urging him to drink. Dylan accepted the cup and drank it all in one go, which eased the spiciness in his mouth a little. “Imogen, your cousin said I need to finish these peppers, but I haven’t even eaten half yet.” Dylan looked at the basket of peppers and saw that he had not eaten even half of them. He had never eaten this much spice in his life. Right now, his throat felt like it was on fire, and his voice was hoarse. The intense heat was affecting him badly.If this had happened in Wiltspoon where the climate was warmer, after eating so many peppers, his throat would have been terribly inflamed, and he probably would have an upset stomach and a serious case of indigestion. Then, he would be stuck in the toilet for half a day.However, since it was cold in Huntington, eating a little chili every day was not a problem, though not as much as Dylan had just eaten. His stomach

    “Did you need me for something, Layla?” Imogen, despite being in a rush to stop Dylan from continuing to eat the chili peppers, asked Layla.“Of course, I came to talk to you about work,” Layla replied.“But the discussion might take a while. Are you going to discuss work with me first, or go downstairs to stop Dylan from eating more peppers first?”Imogen hesitated for a moment but decided to stop Dylan first. Layla guessed that her cousin would choose Dylan and sighed inwardly. Imogen was already wrapped around Dylan's finger. However, Dylan had not entirely escaped Imogen’s influence either. Though he had not fallen in love with Imogen herself, he had fallen for her alter ego, who was still her cousin in the end.Fortunately, the woman Dylan loved was her cousin's alias. If he had chosen another woman, Layla would never have allowed her cousin to take him back. The Doyle ladies did not settle for second place.“Layla, give me about ten minutes.”“Alright, I’ll wait for you

    It was already so spicy, there was no way it could get worse. Thus, following his family's advice, he began grabbing huge handfuls of chili peppers and stuffed them into his mouth. The heat made his eyes water, and it felt like his mouth was swelling from the spice. Imogen also saw the comments and watched as Dylan continued to eat the peppers in large mouthfuls. She turned off the livestream, not wanting to keep watching. However, her heart was in such a mess that she could not focus on her work. A few minutes later, she tossed her pen aside, pushed her chair away from the table as she stood up, and walked out quickly. She ran into Layla as soon as she left the office.“Layla,” Imogen called out. “You heading out?” To be honest, Layla knew the answer without asking. “He’s eaten quite a lot of chili peppers already. He doesn’t usually eat spicy food. And eating so much at once will harm his stomach.” Imogen still felt sorry for Dylan. Layla smiled, “If you're worried

    The security guard brought out a basket and handed it to Dylan.Dylan took the basket and poured the bag of chili peppers into it. Next, following the live broadcast team’s instructions, he walked in front of the camera and said, “Last year, I unintentionally hurt Imogen’s pride. It was my fault, and I apologize to her.“Imogen doesn’t have time to deal with me, but Ms. Layla Doyle said that as long as I eat chili peppers on this livestream, she’ll allow me to come here every day to wait for Imogen. I’m afraid of spicy food and usually don’t eat anything spicy at all.“But for the sake of seeing Imogen and having a chance to get her forgiveness, I’m willing to accept Ms. Layla’s challenge and eat these chili peppers.”The live broadcast team was at a loss for words.Layla had not prepared a script for Dylan, but he went ahead and explained the backstory. Was that okay?Someone secretly messaged Layla to ask for her opinion. Her reply was to allow Dylan to say whatever he wanted a

    Isabella had invited him to sit at the dining table and eat with them, but Austin refused. He said he was the chef, so he could just have his breakfast in the kitchen.He always remembered his position as Isabella's personal chef and did not let the fact that the others saw him in a more favorable light now go to his head and cross the line. His adherence to his principles and awareness of his position only made Isabella respect him more.Though he was one of the extremely affluent Yorks, after accepting the job as her private chef, he completely discarded his identity as a rich heir and earnestly took on the role of her personal chef.By the time Austin finished his breakfast, Isabella and the two young boys had also finished eating. He came out to clear the table.Phillip slid off his chair and said to Louis, “Isa’s passing by my preschool today. She said she’ll take me there.”He was showing off. Sure enough, Louis looked enviously at his sister. Isabella did not even glance

    Austin placed the two breakfast portions on the dining table and then walked over to Isabella, who was still reading the newspaper. “Ms. Isabella, breakfast is ready.”“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Louis’s voice came from the stairs. Then, they saw him quickly running down the stairs with his schoolbag in one hand.“Louis!” Isabella called out.Louis immediately stopped, then picked up his schoolbag to carry it on his back before slowly descending the stairs step-by-step, no longer daring to run.The two boys really did have very similar personalities.“Good morning, Isa. Good morning, Austin.”Louis walked over to Isabella’s side and respectfully greeted them.“If I ever see you running down the stairs again, I’ll punish you by making you miss a week of eating Austin’s meals.”“Isa, a week is too long!” Louis instinctively tried to negotiate.“You still dare to bargain with me, huh? That shows you don’t want to change. In that case, I’ll make it a whole month.”Louis was speec

    “Isa, Austin promised me that he would make cartoon-shaped snacks for us this Saturday. You won’t mind, right? I’ve already told my classmates, and they’re all coming to our house!”The little boy was also concerned about his image. He was afraid his serious eldest cousin would refuse, and if that happened, he would be so embarrassed. After all, after Austin promised him, the other kids at preschool treated him so well. They all wanted to try the cartoon-shaped snacks Austin made. However, since Austin was Isabella’s private chef, if Isabella did not agree, there would be nothing even Austin could do about it.Isabella lightly pinched Phillip’s cheek. “Since Austin’s promised, he’ll keep his word. I’ll be resting at home this weekend and won’t stop you, but don’t make a racket here. Go do it at your own house. I need to rest.”“Thanks, Isa! I’ll tell my friends not to disturb your rest. Isa, has Louis not woken up yet?”With Isa’s promise, Phillip’s little face lit up with a smil

    Upon hearing that Phillip might be coming, Louis moved much faster.Isabella did not wait for her brother. She said, “Head downstairs by yourself later, and make sure to check your schoolbag to see if you’ve packed your books and water bottle.”She would not help her brother check those things. Every day, she made sure her brother checked everything himself because it was his responsibility. If their parents or employees tried to help, she would scold them.Now, their parents no longer dared to help Louis with things he could do himself. They let her take charge of him. Her parents had Louis when they were in their forties, and he was their only son. If they were the ones raising him, Isabella was sure her brother would have been spoiled beyond reason.“I know, Isa,” Louis replied, already starting to brush his teeth.After leaving her brother’s room, Isabella headed downstairs. As soon as she reached the first floor, she saw Phillip running in with his little schoolbag on his

    Isabella patiently said, “No, you can’t. If you sleep for ten more minutes, time will be too tight, and we’ll hit the worst of rush hour when everyone’s heading to school or work. There’ll be too much traffic and you’ll be late. You mustn’t be late.” If her brother was constantly late, he would get used to it and start liking to sleep in. Isabella would not let him develop such a bad habit.“Isa, I won’t be late. Every day when I arrive at school, there are still plenty of classmates who haven’t arrived. I can just tell the driver to speed up.”“Absolutely not! It’s not safe to drive too fast. It doesn’t matter if the other students are late, but you can’t be late. Get up now, or I’m going to get angry.”Louis pouted.Amused, Isabella pinched his lips, saying, “Come on, get up. In two more days, it will be the weekend, and you’ll get another two days off.”“This holiday was too short.”Under his sister’s urging, Louis reluctantly sat up. “It feels like we just got let out for w
