Kevin walked into the office building holding a bouquet of flowers.It was the end of a workday, and many employees were leaving. They were quite used to seeing Kevin come bearing flowers; it would be unusual if he did not.“Mr. York.”Despite whatever thoughts they had about him, the employees showed respect toward Kevin.Kevin nodded with a smile, acknowledging their greetings.He soon arrived at the Queen's siblings’ side.“Hay, it’s the end of your workday, right? I’ve come to pick you up, and we can have dinner together. This bouquet is for you.”He presented the flowers to Hayden.Hayden replied calmly, “I’ve told you before, I don’t like flowers. Please don’t bring me one every time you come. My office is starting to look like a florist.”Sometimes he visited multiple times a day, which resulted in several bouquets.If she tossed them into the trash, he would send even more flowers as a retaliation. Hayden felt like this man was going to eat her alive.“I’ll buy mor
Hugh followed behind silently.He watched as Hayden was being stuffed into the car by Kevin. Soon, the Maybach under everyone’s gaze drove away from Queen Enterprise.Hugh muttered, “He is truly the most arrogant brother-in-law I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t try to please me, the only brother-in-law, at all.”Mumbling aside, Hugh did not follow them as a third wheel.If Hayden was his brother, he would have tagged along to prevent Kevin from doing any harm.Hayden was his sister though, and the sister had to get married. Kevin was a good match. He could not act as a third wheel lest his parents lecture him because Kevin would voice his complaints to them.Right now, Kevin had more of a say in front of their parents than he did.“Hugh isn’t coming, is he?” Kevin asked Hayden while driving.Hayden replied without looking at him, “He’s just a big talker, he won’t actually follow us. He’s afraid that you’ll complain about him to my parents.“He’s only ten minutes younger than me and st
Hayden said truthfully, “I haven't had time to travel since I became an adult. I’m busy every day. There’s hardly time for fun. However, I’ve been to many places because I often go on business trips.”“Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?” Kevin asked. After some thought, Hayden said, “I like somewhere with mountains and rivers, someplace quiet.”“I’ll look into that. We can stay there for a month, just us two.”Kevin discovered Hayden’s preferences. Was Wildridge Manor not exactly what she described? It was a quiet place as well.“Do you like Wildridge Manor?”“I do. Are we having our honeymoon there?”Kevin smiled. “No. That’s our future home. We should head somewhere else for our honeymoon.”“I haven’t even decided on marrying you, yet we’re already talking about our honeymoon.”Hayden gave a self-deprecating laugh. “I go off-track easily when I’m with you. My wits and self-restraints are useless before you.”“Do you still need time to think about it, Hay? Am I no
“I’m being a distinguished gentleman.”Hayden accepted his offer and stepped out.However, she refused to walk into the hotel while holding hands with him. The spark in Kevin’s eyes dimmed. Hayden still avoided behaving as his lover in public. As she had mentioned, her love for him was not deep enough. They walked side by side until Hayden suddenly stopped. “What’s wrong?” Kevin asked concernedly. Was her pursuers around?Kevin looked around. Hayden’s pursuers were nowhere in sight. “Hunter.”Hayden whispered a name. Then, she pulled Kevin and hid behind a car. Her bodyguards thought she was in danger and ran to her out of instinct. They were ready to shield her from any threats. “Hide and don’t block my view,” Hayden ordered. The bodyguards were speechless. It turned out that Hayden simply wanted to spy on someone. She pointed to an older man wearing sunglasses and a black shirt. He had a young woman by his side. The lady had the face of an angel and the body
Caroline happened to spot her brothers hanging out with other women. She could not bear her sisters-in-law being kept in the dark, so she told them the truth and that was when all the drama started. As a woman, Hayden thought Caroline had done the right thing. Caroline could not cover up the truth and lie to her sisters-in-law to help her brothers. What would it feel like if it were her husband who had an affair, and everyone knew about it but her?“Hunter isn’t that stupid. He won’t do reckless things if Madam Fisher is back.”There was a gleam in Kevin’s eyes when he spoke. “However, we can help Madam Fisher. Since we witnessed this scene, we should tell her about it. She’s Serenity’s grandaunt and can be considered a relative.“Don’t you think so, Hay?”Hayden said, “You’re unbelievable. Do you think the Fisher family doesn’t have enough mess on their hands right now?”“No. We’re just Good Samaritans. Look at what Hunter’s doing. He’s committing a mistake. We’re simply co
Hayden tugged on Kevin’s sleeve. He followed her and said, “I wonder when Madam Fisher is returning. I can’t wait to watch the Fisher family’s drama unfold.”Hayden glanced at him. “Even if Madam Fisher discovered her husband’s affair, she wouldn’t create a public commotion. She’ll probably take him back and fight behind closed doors. You won’t have a chance to witness the drama.”“There’s Caroline still. She has already revealed the Fisher family’s hidden chaos. Can her father’s scandal be kept under wraps? I highly doubt so.”After some thinking, Kevin added, “Caroline isn’t simple either. If she stirs a mess in the family, she can eliminate her brothers from Fisher Enterprise. Without those people, her position in the company will be more secure.“As expected of Madam Fisher’s biological daughter. She’s cruel to her family.”Hayden went silent for a moment. Then, she defended Caroline, “She has the brutality of a woman of the Fisher family, but it’s different from Madam Fishe
Not many people knew the woman was the mistress of a tycoon. Hunter was unaware as well. Otherwise, he would not have dared to approach someone else’s mistress. After looking through the media, Caroline replied to Darren: [Keep the evidence. I’ll delete them on my end because I can’t keep them. If my mom suspects me, she’ll check my phone.]Darren replied: [I saved everything. Have you eaten, Ms. Caroline?][I’m eating now. I got delivery.]Darren frowned. [You shouldn’t order food so often, Ms. Caroline. Isn’t there a cafeteria in the company? You could have your meals there. If you’re busy, I can get you food every day.”Caroline’s heart warmed when she saw his message. She had been fighting alone ever since returning to the Fisher family. No one was on her side, not even her mother. Belinda was not her mother alone as she was also mother to her brothers and Celine. While Celine could act like a spoiled child naturally, Caroline found it challenging to do so. Luckily, D
No wonder Celine always gritted her teeth at the mention of Kevin. She would curse at Kevin for being shameless and snatching Hayden away. “You can make Mr. Kevin the one who exposes the scandal. He’s already targeting the Fisher family.”Kevin was an enemy to them. As he recalled the Fishers and Audrey’s relationship, Darren sighed. He knew that Caroline would not stand against those in Wiltspoon. She even wanted to investigate the previous matriarch, Tiara’s death. Darren dared say that if there was evidence pointing out that Madam Fisher was responsible for Tiara’s death, Caroline would refuse to succeed the Fisher family and go as far as to leave the family to wherever she yearned to be. Caroline was not as weak as she seemed. In fact, before returning to the Fisher family, she was already a successful young entrepreneur. She only hid that fact because her adoptive parents constantly wanted to take advantage of her. Therefore, she allowed others to misunderstand that she
