After Sonny spoke, he looked toward Zachary and asked, “Are you angry, Uncle Zak? That Aunt Ser doesn’t have a baby girl.”Zachary sat on the sofa with Sonny on his lap. He answered the boy’s question after Serenity sat beside him. “I’m not angry. Although I yearn for daughters, a son doesn’t sound bad either. It’ll be great if Serenity gives birth to an adorable son like you.”Actually, Zachary had little hope. It was only when they had their future told by Grandma May’s psychic that they started betting on having a daughter.Serenity also said that the baby’s gender did not matter. They only got pregnant after trying for a year. The baby would be precious regardless. Sonny sighed in relief. He slid down Zachary’s thighs and went to Liberty. He said, “Uncle Zak and Aunt Ser aren’t angry at me, Mom. You shouldn’t tell me to lie anymore.”Everyone laughed. Liberty blushed as she grinned. She lightly pinched her son’s face and said, “Go play outside, but don’t go too far.
Duncan smiled. “I’ve been busy.“You and Serenity are on your honeymoon too. I didn’t want to disturb you guys.”Although Zachary and Serenity did not travel overseas for their honeymoon and settled with a drive within Wiltspoon, he wanted to refrain from intruding on their time. If he and Liberty were to get married, he too would prefer some uninterrupted time during their honeymoon. He would want to travel with his wife and watch the sunset or sunrise. Those kinds of days sounded amazing. After the butler had taken Sonny to Rowan, he saw Josh and Jasmine while on his way back. He entered the main house and informed Zachary, “Mr. Bucham is here, Mr. Zachary.”Tania beamed. “Speak of the devil.”Serenity continued, “Luckily we weren’t badmouthing him.”Everyone burst out laughing. Josh entered the house with Jasmine. He brought gifts too. “Jas.”Serenity waved at her best friend when she spotted her. Zachary got up and walked to Josh. He accepted the gifts from Josh and
Serenity smiled and said, “Zachary is not a hen-pecked husband. I don’t nag him that much.”“But he always uses Serenity as an excuse for things he doesn’t want to do. He often says things like, ‘My wife doesn’t like me smoking,’ ‘My wife doesn’t like me drinking,’ and ‘I can’t socialize because I have to go home and be with my wife.’ Basically, he always uses his wife as an excuse.”“Josh.”Jasmine scolded her husband playfully, “No one will think you’re a mute if you stay silent.”Josh laughed, “I’m just afraid people will mistake me for a mute, so I have to say something.”Duncan teased him, saying, “You make it sound like you’ve never used your wife as a shield. The people in Wiltspoon all know that you and Zack are both doting husbands, overly devoted, and famous for being wife-obsessed.“It’s just the pot calling the kettle black.”Josh chuckled, “Duncan, you’re biased. You’re siding with Zachary and ganging up on me with your brother-in-law.”Duncan blushed from the teas
Who knew if this young lady might be a suitor for one of the young masters?This young woman was Carrie.After getting out of the car, she walked directly to the security booth window and began hitting the guard with her phone.He did not expect her to become physically aggressive, so he was not prepared. He received a light tap from her. Once he realized what happened, he quickly stood up and backed away, avoiding a second attack from Carrie.“Why did you hit me?”“I hit you just because you’re a watchdog, what’s the matter? Let me tell you, let me through immediately! Do you know who I am? I’m Camryn’s sister, her own sister! I’m the sister-in-law of Callum York. If you dare block me and prevent me from going up the hills, you’re asking for a beating!”Camryn’s sister?In the past, the Newman family did not have much interaction with the York family. Most of the staff at the villa only knew that Camryn had a brother who was in college. There had been no mention of a sister by
Despite that, one of the guard dogs managed to bite Carrie on the foot.Camryn was not at home. Without her permission, the butler did not allow Carrie inside. Instead, he gave her some money to get vaccinated at the hospital.Terrified by the encounter with the dogs, Carrie grabbed the cash and quickly fled. Before leaving, she made it clear that she would settle scores with Camryn.This morning, with the company of her two cousins, she returned to the Newmans’ villa. Only then did she find out that Camryn had gone to spend the weekend at Wildridge Manor with Callum.Carrie was furious.On the spot, she set out with her two cousins via a taxi and headed straight for Wildridge Manor.Carrie had let her be bitten by the guard dogs, and she was determined to hold Camryn accountable. She also planned to report to the few Mrs. Yorks, exposing Camryn’s cruelty beneath her seemingly benevolent exterior.After all, they were still biological sisters from the same mother despite their po
A few minutes later, the taxi driver dropped the three of them off at the entrance of the manor.“Here you go, folks, we’ve arrived. Who’s paying the fare?”The two cousins got out of the car, lost in their own thoughts.They were only there to bolster Carrie’s confidence, so they did not want to reach into their own pockets to fork out more expenses.They were no longer the pampered young masters of wealthy families. They had bidden farewell to their days of extravagant spending. Now they worked regular jobs, earned a few thousand bucks a month, and had to support their wives and children. They needed to be frugal.Unlike Carrie.Despite her bitter feud with Camryn, she was still a young lady of the Newman family and had a share in the family’s wealth.Once she returned to the Newman family and reclaimed her bank cards, phone, and car keys, she would have endless wealth. This taxi fare had to be on Carrie.Observing her two cousins getting out without any intention of paying
The Chandlers and Joyners were willing to accompany Carrie and provide moral support with this sneaky plan. Carrie was much easier to manipulate compared to Camryn.They once thought Camryn was just a blind girl who liked to sell flowers and had underestimated her.Little did they know that Camryn was the most formidable among the three children in the Newman family. They had all been fooled by her.“Carrie, we are here to help you. Initially, we were doing well in the company. But Camryn somehow managed to manipulate a certain Mr. Mitchell, who then conspired with her to kick us out of the company. It was her tactics that landed her the company.“She is your sister by blood. After your parents were imprisoned, you weren’t home and Trenton was still a kid. She overtook the Newman Enterprise without resistance, and even the top executives had nothing to say because of this Mitchell guy assisting her.”“Uncle Cain had always had an eye for people, but this time he fell for the tric
“Ms. Carrie had been on a long vacation for most of the year, and she had just returned today. When she got back, she found no one at home, so she came over here to get the keys from her sister to unlock the door.”He crafted a little lie.Carrie preferred to keep her imprisonment a secret. When she was imprisoned, only the upper echelons of society were aware, and ordinary people would not have followed the details of Carrie's time in jail. That was why Derrick fabricated this story. The two security guards exchanged a glance.Ms. Camryn’s younger sister?They had not heard about Camryn having a sister.They had seen Camryn’s brother and cousins, but they did not match the appearance of the two men standing before them. These guards knew that Camryn had three aunts, but their relationships were not amicable. The two elder aunts had a poor relationship with Camryn and were not well-received, so they were never invited to the estate. Only Aunt Evelyn’s family had visited Wildr
