Chapter 2980

Author: Gu Lingfei
“The alcohol smell isn’t that strong and even thunder can’t wake me when I’m asleep. You don’t have to resort to spending the night in the study,” Serenity said as she took Zachary’s hand that was on her stomach.

“I’ve showered and drank two glasses of water as well as chewed two pieces of gum to get rid of some of the alcohol smell.”

After a pause, he added, “And Austin said that I was reeking of alcohol.”

Serenity grumbled a little about her brother-in-law.

If Austin could hear her, he would swear that he was telling the truth.

The moment Zachary opened his mouth, he could smell the alcohol. It indeed was strong and besides, Zachary himself had said that he was worried the smell would affect Serenity.

“He was waiting for you. Did he manage to catch you?” Serenity asked.

Zachary hummed in confirmation. “He said he wants to go to Satbury. The O’Connors are looking for a private chef and he wants to apply for it.

“Nana has chosen Isabella O’Connor, their eldest daughter, for Au

    “Good night,” Serenity said before closing the door. Zachary stood by the door outside. Although he was the one who suggested himself sleeping in the study, being pushed out by Serenity and watching her close the door made him feel like he was being chased out. After scratching his nose, he had no choice but to head toward the study. The night went by peacefully. When Zachary woke up the next day, Serenity was already awake and had prepared a glass of water with honey added for him. “Good morning, babe.”Serenity had already fed Sonny breakfast. She was leading Sonny out of the dining area while holding his bag when she spotted Zachary, who had come downstairs. After greeting him, she said, “I prepared some honey water for you. Remember to drink it.”Although Zachary was not drunk last night, he mentioned downing strong alcohol. Serenity had been worried that he would get a headache when he woke up, so she prepared honey water for him. ‘Zachary is really fortunate

    Serenity’s usual car was already parked outside. A bodyguard opened the door and helped Sonny to get into the car. He fastened his seatbelt as well. Once Serenity was inside the car, she changed her high heels for flats. “Have you fastened your seatbelt, Sonny?”Serenity turned her head and asked. “The mister did it for me. You can start driving, Aunt Ser.”Serenity smiled and soon started the car. Twenty minutes later, two cars stopped at the preschool’s parking lot. Serenity got out of the car. Sonny had already unfastened his seat belt and carried his bag. When she opened his door, he got down and said, “Aunt Ser, remember to tell Dunc to bring my luggage along when he picks me up this evening.”“Aren’t you coming back home first?” Serenity teased him. “Why don’t you have dinner before leaving?”After some thought, Sonny said, “Dunc won’t let me go hungry. I don’t have to worry about anything when I’m with him.”Duncan had already become a father figure to Sonny

    However, Serenity was still suspicious because she had not seen Mrs. Longbottom and Carrie appear at the same time. Her suspicions of Carrie pretending to be Mrs. Longbottom would not be cleared unless she saw the two women together. Carrie did not wait for Serenity to return. Since they met by coincidence, it would look intentional if she were to wait for Serenity. It would be suspicious as well. Mr. Longbottom had told Carrie that Serenity was investigating her. Of course, nothing useful was found. Serenity suspected that she was Carrie. Carrie thought of Camryn, whom she hated the most. Camryn was familiar with her voice. Serenity most likely only investigated her because Camryn had told Serenity something. Luckily, Mr. Longbottom was capable. Serenity could not discover anything. Everything she found was fake information that Mr. Longbottom had created for Carrie. They knew that Serenity and Jasmine were best friends; Jasmine being the missus of the Buchams,

    Therefore, Sonny wanted to pass his luggage to Duncan beforehand. Serenity replied with a smile, “Okay.”She only walked toward her car once Sonny and the teacher were out of sight. When she arrived at the parking lot, she saw Mrs. Longbottom, who had just gotten into her car. As usual, there were two bodyguards with her. One of them closed her door with a solemn expression. Mrs. Longbottom spotted Serenity when she turned to look outside the window. She waved at her with a grin. Serenity waved back out of courtesy. Soon, Carrie’s luxury car left. Serenity quickly sent a message to Camryn: [I saw Mrs. Longbottom again, Camryn. Did Carrie look for you?]Camryn had not left her home yet. She would not be going to the flower store as she had an online meeting in the morning. Some company matters still required her attention. Anyway, she was busy. Later in the evening, she would be returning to Wildridge Manor with Callum. It was the weekend again. She usually did

    Camryn: [Stop bragging.]Serenity could not hide her grin. She replied: [Callum spoils you too.]The two women were basked in love. Since Camryn was busy, Serenity did not send another message. When she was about to get into her car, she heard someone calling her. She turned and saw Hank. “Serenity.”Hank walked over. Seeing her alone, he asked, “Has Sonny gone in already?”“Yes. You wanted to meet him?”Hank smiled. He said, “I was passing by the area with a customer, so I thought I’d have a look at Sonny. I didn’t think you guys would arrive so early.” “Sonny’s doing well.”Serenity remained indifferent toward Hank. He smiled again. “I know he’s okay. Liberty and I know that we can entrust him to you. I heard that Liberty is on a long business trip?”“Do you need anything?”“Nothing. I was just asking.”After a moment of silence, Hank asked again, “Will your sister only be back after a long time?”“I’m not sure.”“Oh.”Hank looked disappointed. Serenity sa

    Serenity's car was parked at Lewis & Co. She was waiting for Duncan to come out. He did not make her wait too long and appeared in his car within minutes.“Serenity.”Duncan lowered his window and said, “You can pass Sonny’s luggage to me.”Serenity replied, “I still have to send you two off. Sonny’s stuff is already in my car, Duncan. Let’s go to the preschool first, he’s almost done.”“Okay.”Duncan then asked, “Didn’t Zack come along?”“I didn’t tell him. He’s busy too.”Duncan nodded. Zachary was indeed a busy man. Serenity drove away and Duncan followed from behind. When they arrived at the preschool, they bumped into Carrie again. Carrie had been deliberately setting up such encounters every day. “Are you here to pick your nephew up?” Carrie asked Serenity with a smile. When she saw Duncan beside Serenity, her gaze gleamed. If it were not for Serenity already approaching her, she would have taken a picture of Serenity and Duncan together. Zachary was crazy ab

    “Aunt Ser. Dunc.”Sonny was out. When he spotted them, he immediately broke free from his teacher’s grasp and started running. The teacher was shocked. She immediately raced after him. “Don’t run, Sonny. You might fall.”Serenity called out to him. Sonny arrived before her in the blink of an eye. She lowered herself to lift him, but he quickly escaped her arms to stay standing. “You have my little brother in your belly. He’s bigger now. I might squash him if you carry me.”Sonny would touch Serenity’s baby bump from time to time. He was greeting his little cousin in her womb. Sometimes, he would also ask why the baby was a boy and not a girl instead. Unfortunately, the baby boy could not answer him. Aunt Ser told him that his little cousin might move when Sonny greeted him after a month. That was because fetal movement would start a month later. Serenity said, “It’s okay. You’re not heavy. You won’t crush your little cousin.”Even if she was pregnant, holdin

    Sonny asked Serenity. Serenity smiled. “I did. Don’t worry. I won’t let you detour. Duncan even came to pick you up to save time. Let’s go. Your mom is waiting for you two in Jensburg.”Sonny told Duncan happily, “We should leave now, Dunc. Let’s not make Mom wait.”Duncan adjusted Sonny to sit on his lap and replied, “Okay. Let’s go now.”He gestured at his bodyguard to push his wheelchair. Of course, a private plane could not take off from a preschool. He still had to take Sonny to the airport.“Are you hungry, Sonny?” Duncan asked. “I had some snacks in school.”The preschool always prepared some small bites for the kids during break time. Sonny knew he was about to go on a trip, so he ate a lot of them. He did not feel hungry at all as his stomach was filled. Duncan smiled. “We can have some food in the car or on the airplane if you’re hungry. We’ll have dinner with your mom when we arrive.”“Okay.”Duncan prepared a lot of food and drinks for Sonny so he would not

    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. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

    Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. 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. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

    Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

    After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

    Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

    Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

    Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

    The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa
