Chapter 253

Author: Gu Lingfei
Josh was not surprised that Hank Brown was having an affair.

He said, “That sister-in-law of yours changed too much after getting married. When Hank Brown got promoted, he probably thought any other woman would be a better match than her. As time passed, he began losing interest in her.”

Zachary’s gaze was cold, and so was his tone of voice. “Why did she change? Because she loved him. She gave birth to a child for him without a care for how her body would change. And to let him focus on his work, she single-handedly raised the kid and took care of the whole household alone. She gave up her youth and her beauty for him.”

While Zachary knew that Liberty looked different after her marriage, that was not an excuse for Hank to have an affair.

Ruthlessness had long lurked within Hank, but it just had not had the chance to make its appearance before this. Now that he was doing well in his job, he was arrogant and started to look down on his wife, treating her with disgust.

    ”Serenity, what’s all this?”Callum had detected the smell of seafood.“It’s seafood. A friend of mine brought it back after holidaying by the beach. She gave me a lot. They’re all fresh, and your brother and I can’t eat that much, so I’m giving some to you guys to bring home and eat.”Callum stole a glance at his nana. Seeing that she was not declining it, he said, “This is a lot.”Seafood was something their family lacked the least.However, since it was given to him by his sister-in-law, he best helped bring them home.“Nana, don’t forget to give everyone a portion to try.”Serenity had meticulously prepared a portion for each family unit, contained in individual nets. After getting home, all Grandma May had to do was to hand it out portion by portion. They were equally divided.“Alright, I will.”Grandma May waited for Callum to put the seafood in the trunk before getting in the car. She then said to Serenity, “Serenity, I texted Zack earlier, telling him to come over and

    Serenity got in her car and sped off.Zachary watched her go before walking into the bookshop. He took a look at the materials that she had not put away yet. He could not make sense of it, so he turned away and went into the kitchen.He washed the wok and put a little water in it before placing the leftovers from lunch into the wok, then turned on the gas to heat it up.Out of boredom, he casually opened the fridge and saw that it was stuffed full of seafood.They were all given by Elisa Stone.Elisa Stone was pretty generous to Serenity, even dragging a carful of seafood back for her.Thinking of how Serenity taught Elisa how to pursue him and that being the reason Elisa gave her so much seafood… and that he’d eaten quite a bit at lunch…“Serenity? Serenity!”Shawn Lowe’s cries came from outside.Zachary immediately turned the fire down to its lowest and speedily ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.There was no other reason than for the fact Shawn Lowe had me

    Zachary only came out of the bathroom when he heard Shawn’s footsteps fade into the distance.He was thankful for two things right then and there. One for Nana calling him over, and two for himself resisting his pride and taking the out that Nana offered him. Otherwise, Shawn would have the chance to be alone with Serenity.Shawn walked out of the bookshop, got into his car, and drove away. However, just as he reached a junction, he stopped his car and called Serenity.Serenity quickly picked up his call.“What’s up, Shawn?”“Serenity, are you free later? Around 7:30 pm.”“Why?”Serenity did not say if she was free but instead straightforwardly asked him why.Shawn hesitated before saying, “I have to attend a business reception at Wiltspoon Hotel in a while. I need a female companion. You know me, I don’t have a girlfriend yet, so I wanted to ask for your help to accompany me to the reception.”“Get Jasmine to go with you. I’m not free. My husband’s still waiting in the booksh

    Despite Zachary having said there was no need to get anything else to eat, Serenity still ordered two freshly cooked dishes and two portions of white rice to go.After paying for the food, she walked out of the restaurant carrying the packed food and got into her car.Ring, ring, ring…Her phone started ringing again.This time, the call was from Zachary.Shawn came and went, but Zachary was overly sensitive about it, so he could not resist making a call to Serenity.“I’m coming back now,” Serenity immediately said without waiting for Zachary to speak first, and promptly hung up. Zachary, who was almost immediately hung up on by his wife, looked at his phone in silence for a long while.He knew Serenity was still mad at him in her heart.The two of them had not actually made up. Their current situation was only due to Nana’s interference and out of respect for her.Serenity did indeed return to the bookshop in a jiffy.“Have the leftovers been heated up? We can eat now.”S

    “If you want to, we can take a weekend trip to the seaside too and have seafood freshly caught from the sea.”This was Zachary’s first time suggesting that they take a weekend trip.“It’s already November.”“As long as the sun behaves normally, November in Wiltspoon is still hot, especially during the day. It’s even more suitable to go to the seaside for a holiday then. It won’t be too cold nor will it be too hot.” Serenity rubbed her stomach. “We can talk about this later. I can’t be sure now that I won’t have something else on that weekend.”Zachary gave a hum in response.As he cleared the table and brought the dishes into the kitchen to wash them, he heard his great and mighty wife remind him, “Don’t pour too much dishwashing liquid in and end up filling the sink with bubbles.”Zachary kept a straight face and did not respond.After ten minutes, Zachary was done with the dishes.Having looked in the fridge earlier, he knew there were some fruits in the fridge.He washed

    Zachary saw that Serenity’s attention was entirely focused on her phone and had the impulse to snatch her phone away.The good thing was he had great self-control, so he did not actually do that, lest the relationship deteriorated again.He walked closer, stood in front of Serenity, and said in his deep voice, “Honey.”Bam!Serenity was so shocked by him calling her “honey” that she dropped her phone on the floor.She quickly bent over to pick her phone up. When she saw that her phone screen cracked really badly, she immediately said in dismay, “My phone case cost a hundred bucks.”Zachary took the phone from her and had a look at it. Yeah, it was broken pretty badly. When he heard her words of dismay about the phone case, he said, “I’ll buy you ten in compensation.”“You should buy a few more for me. I’m worried I’ll drop my phone case and break them multiple times when you lose your marbles and call me ‘honey’.”The corner of Zachary’s mouth spasmed. He looked at her in silen

    Zachary was speechless for a moment. “Can’t you see the sincere emotions in my eyes? Shawn looks at you the same way I just looked at you. I’m a man so I understand how other men are. He has a crush on you, and he’s been crushing on you for a very long time.”It was just this silly woman who foolishly thought of him as a younger brother.Shawn did not want to be her younger brother, he wanted to be her man.As for her teasing, Zachary did not stop Serenity from teasing him again and taking advantage of him.“Are there emotions in your eyes? I can only feel killing intent.”Zachary’s expression darkened.His performance had been in vain.Serenity laughed embarrassedly. “Maybe your acting just wasn’t good enough. Any emotion in the eyes has to come from the heart. You don’t love me, so your gaze when you look at me naturally wouldn’t have any emotions then.”Zachary raised his hand.He finally smacked away her mischievous pair of hands.“Mr. York.”“Say it.”“I— Um, I think,

    Zachary’s expression immediately returned to its usual ice-cold state.He walked out from behind the counter with a perfectly calm expression.Serenity stood up straight and smoothed her slightly messy hair. She cursed Zachary a hundred times over in her heart when she saw Zachary act like nothing just happened.Then, she sat down, waiting for the trash to roll in.The only people who would yell at her like that had to be her trashy relatives.Not even a minute had passed when David Hunt and his wife entered in a threatening manner.Following behind them were Serenity’s four aunts and uncles.The corners of Serenity’s mouth rose upward. It looked like they were all in attendance.David Hunt and his wife rushed in and were about to rush toward Serenity who was sitting behind the counter when Zachary blocked their way.Zachary was tall and handsome but was extremely cold and aloof. Just standing there, his body exuded a cold and noble aura that made others feel small in comparis

    “I’m used to him being by my side. Now that he’s hidden, it just feels weird.”Caroline added, “Even if I want to kiss him, I can only do it in my dreams.”Liberty was speechless. Seeing Liberty being at a loss for words, Caroline smiled. “Did I renew your impression of me?”“Yes. I didn’t know you were this kind of person.”Caroline giggled. “Darren’s too serious and respectful. If I don’t take the lead, we might sleep on opposite ends of the bed after getting married. He probably won’t even dare to turn in bed.”Liberty thought of Darren’s face, which constantly had a stern expression. He only looked normal around Caroline. He indeed treated her respectfully and never dared to offend her. Liberty said, “You’re still his master. It’s only natural that he’s acting that way.“When you two become husband and wife, he’ll change. However, you won’t have to doubt his love and loyalty for you.”The next thing Liberty knew, Caroline asked her private questions regarding married lif

    Caroline moved first, exiting the elevator.Adrian blocked her path, refusing to give way.Caroline did not want to argue with her brothers, so she simply sidestepped and continued toward the CEO’s office. The Clark brothers watched her leave.“Let’s go, Adrian.” Justin entered the elevator first.Adrian withdrew his gaze and led Jason into the elevator.“I heard Darren’s out on a business trip and has been sent to another province to handle some matters, so he won’t be back for at least ten days to half a month,” Jason shared in a low voice. “And for the past few days, Caroline’s only been accompanied by those few bodyguards of hers. There really hasn’t been any sign of Darren with her. I’ve asked someone to look into it and verified Darren left Jensburg by flight a few days ago. What do you think, Adrian?”Adrian replied under his breath, “We’re at work. Don’t talk about that here. We’ll talk about it when we get home tonight.”Justin and Jason immediately shut their mouths.

    “I’m in charge now, not your mother. If you can’t do the work, then don’t cling to your positions and collect a salary for doing nothing.”Liberty had no intention of tolerating their laziness any longer.The three brothers had tried investing and running their own businesses, but they mostly ended up losing money. The only stable income they had was from renting out the properties and shops they owned.That was why Hunter had advised his sons to return to Ashford, buy more properties and shops, and live off the rental income. It was much more stable than their business ventures.If the properties were hard to rent out, they could always sell them and recover some money, but with their business investments, not only did they lose money, they often ended up in debt by the time the businesses failed.It was a mystery how much of Belinda’s personal wealth had been spent helping her sons pay off their debts while she was alive.However, there were times when they made money. They wou

    They had taken a few days of sick leave, but after receiving the news, they miraculously “recovered” and returned to work.However, their behavior did not improve. They continued strutting around the company, acting as if they owned the place, just as they had before.While others completed the tasks Liberty assigned on time, the three Clark brothers always dragged their feet. They only ever barely managed to finish them after repeated urging, and the results were still always far from satisfactory.“Look at the plans and reports you submitted. They’re a complete mess! What kind of work is this? You all sit in the positions of vice president, earning high salaries, and this is how you perform?“Do you think your work justifies your pay?”In the CEO’s office, Liberty sat behind her crescent-shaped desk. The three Clark brothers stood in front of her, having been summoned.Liberty slammed their work results onto the desk in front of them and her face was filled with anger as she be

    Darren stopped walking.Caroline stopped as well.“What’s wrong?” Caroline looked at him. “You don’t want to follow my plan?”“I’ll do whatever you ask of me. It’s just, could we delay it for a couple of days? I’m worried…”“Darren.” Caroline’s expression turned serious. “Trust me! And trust yourself. I have the ability to protect myself, and you have the ability to protect me too. I might get hurt, but I won’t be in any life-threatening danger.”She glanced at Liberty and Duncan walking ahead, both had not noticed that the two behind had stopped. The distance between them had widened.Taking advantage of Liberty and Duncan’s oblivion, Caroline quickly cupped Darren’s face, tiptoed, and kissed his warm lips.Darren immediately tightened his arms around her, turning his passiveness into action, and deepening the kiss. The two were clearly in love, but Darren never took the initiative in intimate gestures. It was always Caroline who made the first move.In Darren’s eyes, Caroline

    Among the younger generation of the Fisher family, very few could work at the headquarters of Fisher Enterprise. Most of them worked in subsidiaries, no different from ordinary workers.They worked themselves to the bone for a monthly salary of four to five thousand dollars as being part of the Fisher family did not guarantee them high-paying jobs. Those without ability and who were lazy could not even get into the subsidiaries.When Belinda was alive, she had made it clear that the Fisher family’s companies would not support idle people. Those who wanted to slack off and collect a paycheck for doing nothing were dreaming!The biggest benefit of being part of the family was that during holidays, they could receive gifts and a generous bonus from Fisher Enterprise.These holiday gifts and bonuses were distributed uniformly, regardless of age or seniority. Everyone received the same amount—a newborn baby received the same as an eighty-year-old elder.After some thought, Liberty said

    Duncan said, “I’m not picky. Whatever you serve me, I’ll eat. Let’s start with a bowl of soup.”He was very cooperative. Indeed, this was how they usually interacted as a couple. He took care of Liberty, and Liberty took care of him.Liberty served him a bowl of soup and then grabbed some food for him. Duncan immediately grabbed some of her favorite dishes and placed them on her plate.Caroline and Darren sat across from them.“How long do you plan to stay this time, Mr. Lewis?” Caroline asked.Although she had said that Fisher Manor was Duncan’s home too, she knew that Duncan’s roots were in Wiltspoon. His career, friends, and family were all there, so he preferred to stay in Wiltspoon.“I’ll go back once Liberty’s work settles down,” Duncan replied.He planned to stay until Liberty had established a firm foothold in the Fisher family.Caroline smiled and looked at Liberty, saying, “Liberty, you’ve chosen the right person this time. From now on, no matter how stormy the road a

    “Your company is also very busy. What about your work now that you’re here?”“I have so many managers. If they can’t handle the company affairs, then what’s the point of having them? If worse comes to worst, my three brothers are there too. They’ll help out when they have time.”“Josh and Zachary will also keep an eye on things. Don’t worry, Lewis & Co. won’t collapse just because I’m away.”For Duncan, at this moment, nothing was more important than his wife.Lewis & Co. had his three brothers overseeing things, along with the management team he had trained and promoted. He did not need to worry.After all, he was currently disabled.Whenever his brothers complained about having to manage the company for him, he would just say he was so useless now, even walking was a struggle.Then, his brothers would feel sorry for him and stop complaining, dutifully taking care of the company for him.The group entered the house.“Let’s eat first,” Caroline said.Once inside, the warmth o

    The next day, Liberty only woke up at noon. She had barely managed to fall asleep around four o’clock but slept through the morning. Reaching for her phone on the bedside table, she checked the time and was surprised to see it was almost noon.Liberty quickly sat up. She changed her clothes at lightning speed, freshened up, and then hurried downstairs.The first floor was quiet and only the sound of her footsteps echoed through the house.“Caroline. Caroline?” Liberty called out twice, but there was no response.She guessed Caroline might have gone out or was in the yard. The smell of food lingered in the house, indicating that lunch had already been prepared.Liberty walked toward the front door. Just as she reached the doorway, she saw Caroline returning with Darren and a few others.Liberty’s sharp eyes immediately spotted her husband.Duncan was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by his bodyguard, while another bodyguard pulled a suitcase.Caroline and Darren were also c
