Chapter 2446

Author: Gu Lingfei
Quinn cocked her head to the side. The sharp blade narrowly missed her face.

The robber’s wrist trembled, and the blade was turned toward her neck.

Suddenly, a hand appeared to grab the robber’s wrist. The robber exclaimed in pain when a strong grip caught his wrist. The knife fell from his hand, and he received a painful kick. However, there was no escaping for him because his wrist was still locked in a grasp.

Julian went to the robber’s back and kicked behind his knees. The robber knelt from the pain, and his wrists were confined to his back.

Julian pressed his weight onto the robber to make him stay down. The robber’s face rubbed against the floor and bled. He shouted, “Call 911. Help. Call the police.”

Julian chuckled. “Right. We should call the police.”

He said to Quinn, “Please call the police, Ms. Crawford.”

Quinn was stunned by Julian’s moves.

Before the police came, Julian held the robber down and restricted him.

Despite the many questions in her head, Quinn di

    “It was best if I was trained to protect myself, so my parents sent me to martial arts classes when I was only a few years old. I was talented and became highly skilled in it after about ten years.“Of course, I’ll still be at a disadvantage when many people come at me all at once. If it weren’t for you rescuing me the night I ran into the motorcycle gang, I would’ve been in trouble.“No matter what, you saved my life. Although you have a noble character and refused my offer to return the favor, I don’t want to stay indebted to you. I was only trying to repay you by registering as a member at your gym and paying you via fees.“Sorry for lying to you, Ms. Crawford.”Quinn stared at Julian and he grew nervous from her stare. He was scared she would be furious at his deceptions. Besides, his explanation was still a lie. The only truth was that he was skilled in martial arts. “Were you using your friend’s lying story to test my limits about being lied to?”Quinn was a straightforw

    “We gather intel for people. My family is huge, and we’re good at collecting information. Since we often help others to gather information, some people get offended.”Quinn blinked and smiled. “So you’re a private investigator?”“Something similar.”“Is it profitable?”Julian said, “Pretty much.”He found her question funny, and his affection for her deepened. Well, he did fall in love with her at first sight, but his love grew deeper with every look at her. She was the only person who could make his heart beat fast. Julian had to hold himself back every time he saw her to prevent himself from making any weird moves. Only the heavens knew how much he wished to hug and kiss her. He had never experienced hugging or kissing a woman despite being over thirty years old. No matter how beautiful or sexy other women looked, his body had never reacted to them. It was only Quinn whom he desired. “You have a huge family… By the way, is Mr. York’s right-hand man, the one I saw dur

    Meanwhile at Wildridge Manor, Serenity returned to her room. The wedding decorations were still up. Although it felt as if a long time had passed, returning to the room reminded her that it had only been half a day since her wedding.While chatting with the manor’s employees with Grandma May, she had the opportunity to listen to some gossip. She suddenly knew why Grandma May enjoyed interacting with the employees. The old lady simply wanted to listen to the exciting stories. Grandma May could hang out with the employees every day only due to her retired lifestyle and advanced age, whereas Serenity had to continue working hard as she was still young. Otherwise, she could have found joy in such life too.When she got older, she would retire alongside Zachary and travel the world while they could still walk around. After that, she could learn from Grandma May and initiate conversations with their employees from time to time, as well as get some juicy gossip. Those days would be in

    Serenity sat up and hugged Zachary. “It must’ve been tough on you, babe.”“Anything for you. I hope you can leave all the hard work to me. I want you to have a happy life without worries.”“Do you think I’m Sonny, who has nothing to worry about? Alright, go wash up. We’ll be having lunch soon. Everyone’s up already. Aren’t you hungry after sleeping for the entire morning?”Serenity nudged and urged him to get ready. Zachary got off the bed reluctantly and walked toward the bathroom. He said, “You’ve become less clingy, Seren. In the past, you’ve always wanted to spend an hour in the room with me. Now you’re urging me to leave just after a few minutes.”Serenity was speechless and embarrassed. Whenever she woke him up in the past, they would spend up to an hour in the room before heading out because he would convince her to make babies with him. Despite his serious appearance, he was passionate in bed. She was unable to resist him and would end up begging him to let her go.“

    Looking into his beloved wife’s lustrous eyes as she scrutinized his physique from head to toe, Zachary felt a bit uneasy.Just as he was about to speak, Serenity spoke first. He listened as she said, “With your physique and face, Zachary, if you were to dress as a woman, you might just be a stunning beauty.“However, your stature is too tall, and though your features are gorgeous, they are also rugged and sharply defined. Dressing as a woman might not suit you, unlike Kevin, whose features are a bit softer. When he puts on women’s clothing and makeup, he can easily pass as a woman.”Zachary had already guessed that this was what his wife was thinking. He straightened up and said, “I’m a big guy with a strong build. How would I fit in as a woman, Seren? Let’s not compare to Kevin. He leaves no room for us men. He can do things like dressing as a woman to please Hayden. It’s astonishing.”Serenity smiled and replied, “I have to admit that what he did truly moved Hayden. Hayden told

    Hayden being a woman was not a secret in the York family.When Grandma May pointed out Hayden’s identity as a woman with no outsiders present, Hayden showed no signs of displeasure and remained composed.“Aunt Ser, Aunt Ser.”Sonny’s crying voice came from upstairs.It was then everyone in the room realized that they had forgotten about Sonny.“I completely forgot about Sonny.”Serenity got up and said, “I came downstairs right after I called Zachary. I forgot to wake Sonny up to eat.”Sonny had gone upstairs to get some shut-eye with Zachary.They slept together initially, but later, Zachary carried Sonny back to the children’s room. He was afraid that he might sleep too soundly and accidentally squash Sonny when he turned over.Zachary followed Serenity upstairs.Sonny was already out of his room, crying and calling for Serenity as he walked.“Sonny, Aunt Ser is right here.”Serenity quickly ran toward her nephew once she got upstairs.Sonny stopped crying when he saw hi

    Serenity followed them out of the house. She shouted after Sonny’s shrinking silhouette, “Sonny, don’t run so fast. Be careful not to fall.”“Aunt Ser, I won’t fall. I’ll go now.”Carrying a large bag of toys, Sonny ran off with a group of kids. Their voices echoed back from a distance.Serenity turned to Zachary, who had followed her outside, and said, “This kid is so outgoing. He gets along with everyone.”“Isn’t that a good thing? If he couldn’t and clung to adults all the time, we’d all have headaches.”Zachary replied with a smile, “It’s quite challenging being human, and kids do not have it easy either. They get criticized as mischievous for being lively. If they are quiet and reserved, they are called dull. No matter what they do, adults can always find a reason to criticize them.”Serenity was silent.It seemed like it was true.Being human was quite challenging.“Do you still need to catch up on sleep?” Serenity questioned.As soon as Zachary held Serenity’s hand,

    Her abilities are not too shabby either. At least before Alvin emerged, everyone within the Daniels family believed that Jenna would be the successor to the group.“Zachary, take a look at this news article.”Serenity handed her phone to Zachary.Zachary corrected her, “Call me ‘honey’. When you call me by my name, I always get nervous, fearing that you’re going to scold me for doing something wrong.” With that said, he took the phone from her and asked while looking at it, “What news?”After glancing at it for a moment, Zachary returned the phone to his wife. His expression lightened as he said, “What’s so interesting about her news? I’ve said it before, the one who can handle her is her father. We don’t need to intervene. Her father will take care of her.”If Mr. Daniels could not handle Jenna, letting Zachary step in would surely harm the Daniels Group.Zachary would not have mercy on those who tried to disrupt his marriage.As for that person living in the same residential

    When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, “Ms. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.“I’m polite to other women when I need to be. If they’re unimportant, I’ll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I won’t cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.“Get some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. I’ll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.”After speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancée, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

    Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. “Ms. Isabella.”Isabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, “This may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?”Isabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?‘Someone like Austin,’ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, “I like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isn’t as financially well-off as mine, I don’t mind so long as he’s honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.“Of course, it’ll be great if we have the same social status. That way, we’ll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, we’ll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.”“Although you can accept someone who isn’t from a similar family backgrou

    After a moment of silence, Isabella said, “It’s okay. I know I was forcing it.”There was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancée was. He was already so protective of his fiancée even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. “You weren’t forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. It’s only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.”Austin said gently, “It’s not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancées for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.“To be honest, we didn’t even know Nana had been choosing fiancées for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us

    “You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

    Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

    Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s

    Isabella’s bodyguard had only called out to her, not daring to touch her, so she had not woken up. However, when Austin gently patted her face and called her, she woke up almost immediately. When she opened her eyes and saw Austin’s handsome face, Isabella was momentarily dazed, thinking she was dreaming about him.She had actually dreamed about Austin. Had she developed feelings for him? If she had not, why would she dream about him? In all her life, this was the first time she had dreamed about a man. Isabella wanted to touch Austin’s face, but as she raised her hand, she realized she was not dreaming.Austin was real. She could smell the fresh scent on him because they were so close.He had showered.Isabella quietly lowered her hand, hoping Austin had not noticed her earlier intention, lest he misunderstood.“Ms. Isabella,” Austin’s warm and pleasant voice reached her ears, making her want to close her eyes and go back to sleep. With him around, she felt safe and secure.

    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.

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.
