“That’s great. I’m outside your house now. I see your butler coming to open the gate. Let’s talk when we meet.”After speaking, Ben hung up. Zachary was puzzled. He lowered his head to look at Sonny, who was looking at him too. “What’s wrong, Uncle Zak? Did something happen?” Sonny asked. Zachary patted his head and said, “Someone woke up early like you and came to visit.”He did not know what was going on either. Had something gone wrong with Remy and Elisa’s relationship? Did Ben come over to get him to persuade the couple?He could not do that. Serenity was more suited for the job. Soon, Ben drove Remy’s car into the villa and stopped at the courtyard. Before Ben got out of the car, the backseat door opened first. A flash of a small figure darting out of the car toward Zachary. “Sonny, Sonny. I’m here.”The small figure was none other than Laurence. “Laurence!”When Sonny registered it, he immediately flung Zachary’s hand away and jogged toward Laurence. The

Zachary found it hilarious. “No wonder they’re best friends. I was forced to take Sonny out because he knocked on my door.“Ben, why don’t you join us?”Zachary invited Ben and Laurence to go for a walk with them. Ben smiled. “Okay. I probably can’t fall back asleep anyway.”He told Laurence, “You can take Sonny to play ahead of us, but don’t go too far.”“It should be Sonny bringing Laurence around. You two are our guests. We should be proper hosts.”The children had already run off hand in hand. Ben said, “Laurence has a good memory. He memorized the route here after only one visit and could even remember the plants along the roads. He recognizes more plant species than me now.”Zachary said, “Look at who his mentor is. Dr. Carden is an expert in both medicines and poisons. Although Lilian did not spend much time teaching Laurence one-on-one, he had the miracle healer. He learned about many herbs during the time he spent with the miracle healer. They knew Laurence had a

Zachary ran ahead and Ben jogged after him. “Luckily, our families are close. Otherwise, I would’ve felt bad for disturbing you early in the morning.”The neighborhood was quiet. Only a few residents were having their morning runs. “Laurence is rarely here. I understand that he doesn’t waste a single second he can play with his friend.“He’s improved a lot. It’s obvious from the speed he ran after jumping out of the car. I think Sonny can never catch up to him.”Ben said, “Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Laurence’s downside is that he loves eating. He’s a total glutton. Whenever he’s home, he likes following Lee around and asking him to make all sorts of food for him. He still wants to eat even after his stomach is bloated.“Jane was worried that he’d overeat. It’s great that he’s training daily to burn off the calories.”“Kids are all like that. It’ll get better after they grow up. My nana said I was a glutton too when I was young. However, I think I changed afte

Since Laurence rarely visited, and his only friend in Wiltspoon was Sonny, Serenity could allow her nephew to take a day off school. Sonny nodded and guaranteed that it would only be this once. Laurence said, “I’ll come again during the summer or winter holidays, Aunt Seren. That way, no one will need to take a day off.”“Can you please tell Mom now, Aunt Ser?”Sonny wanted to confirm that he could get the day off as soon as possible, then he would be able to play to his heart’s content. Serenity looked toward Zachary, who looked away sheepishly. She scolded him mentally for pushing the responsibility to her. “Okay.”Serenity called her sister. When Liberty picked up, she said, “Liberty, Sonny has something to tell you.”After speaking, she handed the phone to Sonny, “You tell her.”He took the phone and told Liberty why he wanted to take a day off school. After repeating Serenity's words, Liberty agreed to let Sonny skip school for a day to accompany his friend. Sonny

Besides, Sonny had his strengths. He was better at reading and writing than Laurence. Although Laurence could read, he could not write well whereas Sonny was a good writer. He was one of the best among children his age. Uncle Zak told him that when he showered him with compliments. Uncle Zak would not lie to him; he was a husband and a CEO, so he would always speak the truth. With those thoughts, Sonny stopped pouting and pulled Laurence. “Let’s go and get something to eat. I’m hungry.”“I’m hungry too.”The boys happily hopped back into the house. …At the Newmans, Carrie stood far away from the villa’s gate and dialed Trenton’s number continuously. After some time, Trenton came out. When Carrie saw him, she walked over with a dark expression and slapped him across his face. It was resounding. Trenton did not expect his sister to slap him the moment he went to her. He thought she had specially come to see him because she knew he was returning to his university. Th

“You bastard. Now that you’re an adult, you and Camryn bully me together. I know everything. Your intention for visiting Mom and Dad in prison wasn’t pure. I thought you missed them, but you were aiming for their fortune.“I have a share in our parents’ assets too, Trenton. Don’t even think of monopolizing it. Mom and Dad love me the most. They won’t transfer everything to you. You should stop bothering them.”Carrie had gone to visit her parents too. That was how she found out Trenton was trying to get their parents’ assets that were not confiscated to be transferred to him while she and Camryn would not get anything.It was natural that Camryn would not get a single penny because she was not their biological daughter. However, Carrie was. She was their favorite child as well. How could she not have a share?Carrie had consulted a lawyer and was ready to fight Camryn through a lawsuit to get everything back. However, she never expected that Trenton had planned to take everything
Married at First Sight Chapter 2688
The Newman couple was strict with Trenton and trained him to be independent at a young age because they wanted him to succeed them. How could a successor take over the family if they could not stand their ground and be independent?However, they kept it subtle because Trenton was still young then. Now that he had grown up and Carrie kept stirring trouble after getting out of prison, their parents agreed to transfer all their assets to him to protect them. Trenton also promised to ensure Carrie’s life essentials were covered. He would stop giving her allowance once she could earn money to sustain herself. However, if she were to get married, he would give her a large sum of money and luxurious presents to send her off. He also made it clear that Camryn would not take anything—she only wanted justice. “Mom and Dad won’t agree to this. They wouldn’t. You should stop dreaming.”Carrie knew her parents had already agreed to the plan. She was simply in denial. She refused to beli

Trenton refused. “I can’t help you there, Carrie.“I can’t change Camryn’s mind. What I’m spending now comes from her. I still need her to support me financially. How can I influence her to change her decisions?”Even if he could persuade Camryn to reactivate Carrie’s bank card, he would choose not to do it. Trenton and Camryn’s aim was to prevent Carrie from losing all the family’s money. He wanted to force Carrie to be independent and build her own life. Otherwise, Carrie would be suppressed by Camryn for the rest of her life. After all, Carrie was Trenton’s biological sister, and he wanted to see her do well. “Since you know she’s this unreasonable, you should work with me instead of falling prey to her lies. Was it her idea that you meet Mom and Dad and get them to transfer their assets to you? She must’ve taught you that, right? She probably badmouthed me too.“Camryn wants to take everything belonging to the Newmans, Trenton. Worrying that I might lose everything is ju

Since Carrie was approaching Spring Blossoms, she decided to drop by. It was a pity she could not wreck the store as she was heading there as Mrs. Longbottom.When she arrived, Camryn was not in the store. Only Louise and Leah were there. Carrie asked casually, “Where did your boss go?”“Our boss is very busy. Usually, we’re the ones looking after the store. She only comes by when she’s free. Are you looking for her, Mrs. Longbottom?”Louise and Leah recognized Mrs. Longbottom. “No. Your boss is always around whenever I’m here to buy flowers, so I’m just curious since she isn’t here today. Get me two jade plants. The ones I have aren’t growing well. I want to change them,” said Carrie. She really had jade plants at her villa and she was the one who bought them. In fact, they were growing well. It symbolized her having great luck with wealth.Indeed, she was doing well financially. Mr. Longbottom had never mistreated her in terms of living standards.Carrie wanted to get

Tati kept trying to match her with Austin.As soon as Austin left, Tati came in. Isabella could tell, just by the timing, that it had to be related to Austin.If she had not known how loyal Austin was to her, Isabella might have suspected her cousin was being bribed by him.Tati smiled. “I happened to see Austin leaving when I came in. He was very polite to me and his smile was gentle, and the way he looked at me was respectful. But it’s completely different from how he looks at you, Isa.“I noticed it long ago. When he looks at you, there’s light in his eyes, there’s affection, and tenderness. He’s utterly devoted to you, or rather, he dotes on you.”Isabella was quiet.“Isa, the first time I saw Austin, I knew he was no ordinary person, and I thought you two made a great match. You know me, I don’t joke around about these things, but when I saw him, I just couldn’t help it.“I really think you two are perfect for each other. Before, we didn’t know his real identity, so you mig

Tati hummed in agreement.After her cousin reviewed the documents, Tati said, “Isa, why don’t you try dating? Neither of us has a boyfriend, so outsiders are always thinking they can take control of us through marriage alliances.“You could just date. There’s no need to get married. Or you could even just pretend to date. Make them give up.”Isabella looked up at her cousin, amused. “What? That’s a crazy idea.“I haven’t been in a relationship until now because they all know I’m hard to deal with. They think I don’t even have feelings. If I start dating, they’ll realize I’m just like any other girl who dates and wants to get married. Then, they’ll get even more ideas.”Unless her boyfriend was someone so powerful that no one would dare to touch him. He would have to come from a family strong enough to protect the O'Connor family, and he would need to love only her and not be after her family’s money.Power, status, wealth, and good character were all essential.There were men

Austin quickly left the CEO’s office. Just as he stepped out, he ran into Tati, who was looking for Isabella.“Ms. Tati,” Austin greeted politely.Tati nodded and waited for Austin to leave before she knocked on the office door and entered.“Austin came early today to cook for you,” Tati said, holding a folder in her hand and opening it as she walked toward Isabelle.She sat down at the desk, handed over the folder, and said, “Isa, this is urgent. Please take a look.”Isabella took the document, glancing through it as she replied, “He comes around this time every day, neither early nor late.”“That Longbottom fellow came by again?” Tati asked.It was only after Mr. Longbottom had directly asked to see Isabella that Tati found out the old lecher had come again.“Yes, but I didn’t meet him. He brought some gifts, claiming they were holiday presents for us. I had them sent back. He’s too ambitious, and he has bad intentions. We’re absolutely on guard against him. Why would we give

Isabella turned her head to look at Austin.Austin stopped the massage and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you feeling any discomfort? I can work on it. I don't give people massages often, so I don’t have much experience. I'll keep giving you more massages as practice so I'll be able to serve you better.”“It's not that,” Isabella smiled. “It's actually very comfortable. It’s just that I really want to meet your grandmother every time you mention her.”In Isabella's mind, Austin's grandmother had already become something of a legendary figure.Austin thought to himself, ‘Nana’s already met you. You probably met her before, you just didn't know it was her.’His nana had surely spent a lot of time observing Isabella, getting to know her, and confirming that her character and abilities were suitable for him before choosing Isabella for him.“When you’re less busy, if you’re willing, you can come visit us in Wiltspoon. Lots of flowers bloom in spring, and there’s beautiful scenery ever

When Isabella first took over the family business, many of her grandparents' and parents' friends and relatives openly tried to sabotage her. They played dirty tricks, schemed, and tried various ways to undermine her.They wanted to take advantage of her, and they also did not want her to take control of the family’s legacy. They tried to prevent her from establishing herself in the company, even going as far as to collaborate with outsiders to trap her.She had suffered countless setbacks, faced numerous conspiracies, and even experienced several so-called accidents, nearly losing her life. It was only after all this that she truly understood the treachery of human nature. From that point on, she learned to arm herself with cold indifference.Though she was taking over her own family’s business, it felt like she had to fight through a bloody battle to secure her place, as if she were a king striving to ascend the throne. It was exhausting and disheartening.However, she endured an

Austin said, “He’s definitely here to discuss a potential partnership with your company.“He's just the acting head of the Longbottoms. He doesn’t truly control the family. If the real head returns, everything he’s worked for will go to someone else.“The downfall of Belinda Fisher probably gave him a wake-up call and he doesn’t want to end up like that.“He’s definitely seeking to cooperate with you regarding his personal business. He’s just using the Longbottoms’ name, since their influence in Windermere is enormous.”In terms of wealth, the O'Connors and the Longbottoms were on equal footing, but the O'Connors had fewer members and did not have the same level of influence in Windermere as the Longbottoms.Isabella said, “He’s very ambitious. A partnership would only just be the beginning. Once it’s established, he’ll start thinking about how to cheat us and steal our business.“Plus, he’s very lecherous. Nobody can put a number to how many women he’s toyed with. Some even lost

Tony was aware that whenever his wife had to play the villain, it was always to protect him. He said, “You're right, I misspoke. Your mother isn’t that kind of person.”“Manny, I’ll be leaving soon. You stay here, and I’ll leave half of my men with you. If anything comes up that you can't handle, contact me. I’ll be waiting to hear good news from you.” Tony decided to fly to Wiltspoon in the afternoon. He would only stay for two or three days before returning to Havenmill to handle business.However, as he thought about how he was working like a horse for Longbottom Corporation when many of the benefits did not even belong to him personally, Tony felt a bit disgruntled.“Got it.” Manny did not reject his father’s arrangement.As the Longbottom father and son were discussing how to deal with the O’Connors, Austin entered Isabella’s office.Isabella was busy, so Austin did not disturb her. He quietly sat at the tea table and made some tea.“It seems you’ve learned the art of tea-

Manny had never been to Wiltspoon, but he knew from his father that several prominent families in Wiltspoon had close ties with the Johnsons from Annenburg. It was possible that the child adopted by the Johnsons’ young missus was Laurence. Unfortunately, he could not meet that child, so he could not be a hundred percent certain. The child was currently out of sight and well-protected, hidden so effectively that even the Longbottoms’ information network could not find anything. The other prominent families in Wiltspoon were also helping to keep the child hidden, so Manny deeply disliked the people from these families. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they were still an obstacle to him and his father in their pursuit of becoming the true head of the family.“That's right. If we can conquer the O’Connors, we’ll have a backup plan,” his father said. “You must put your all into it, son. If you need help, just let me know, though this is also an opportunity for you to ge
