Married at First Sight Chapter 341
Clive saw his sister’s pale face and knew that she must be devastated.He had been in love before. Although he had a happy marriage, he had experienced sadness and despair before that. Thus, he knew that feelings could hurt one deeply.Clive could also tell that Zachary would not fall in love with Elisa, so if Elisa continued to pester Zachary, she would be the one who would get hurt in the end. It was better to let her give up on Zachary as soon as possible.He sighed and said, “Elisa, it’s not that I don’t want to help you investigate Zachary. Think about who’s working for him – Josh Bucham. You know what the Buchams are capable of. Once I do a background check on Zachary, Zachary will know.“Do you think Zachary will let me find out? Besides, I’ve arranged for most of my subordinates to look for our aunt.”Elisa was silent.She knew what her brother said was true.Josh Bucham worked for Zachary, and everyone in Wiltspoon knew what the Buchams were best at.“Elisa, there are

Zachary hesitated and struggled for ten minutes before he pushed open the door to get out of the car and walked into the florist.“Sir, would you like to buy flowers? Are they for your girlfriend?”After Zachary looked around the shop, he said to the shopkeeper, “It’s for my wife.”The shopkeeper smiled. “Is this for a birthday or wedding anniversary?”“Neither. I just want to give her flowers.”The shopkeeper smiled. “What about a bouquet of roses interspersed with baby’s-breath?”Zachary had never bought flowers for a woman. He thought the shopkeeper’s suggestion was good, so he nodded and said, “Sure, whatever you see fit.”“Please wait for a moment.”The shopkeeper could tell this was the first time this man was buying flowers for his wife.After a while, the shopkeeper handed a bunch of flowers to Zachary. Zachary took the bouquet and paid the bill before turning around and walking out of the florist with the bouquet in hand.Zachary put the bouquet in the passenger seat

Zachary was exceptionally patient and would do whatever Sonny asked him to do. He would also teach Sonny some new ways to play with the toys.Serenity could not help but think that Zachary would be a responsible father when he has his own children.“What’s the matter?”Jasmine noticed that her friend was staring in a certain direction, so she leaned over and found her friend looking at Mr. York. She suddenly laughed ambiguously and nudged Serenity’s shoulder. “Do you think your husband is particularly handsome?”“There’s no need to think about it. He has always been a handsome guy.”“Hurry up and jump him then. Look how nice and patient he is with Sonny. Although he looks like a block of ice, he’s actually quite soft-hearted. He must like children very much. You should jump him and get down to it, then you can give birth to a baby as good-looking as him. How great is that?”Serenity laughed. “You talk as if I’m just trying to have a baby.”She paused and whispered, “Even if I ju

Serenity said, “My sister said she’s not coming over for lunch because her office is quite far from here. It’s troublesome to go back and forth since she doesn’t have a long lunch break. They have an office cafeteria, so she’ll be eating there.”Zachary hummed.“When Liberty comes back from work in the evening, you should ask her if she can adapt to the company and if anyone bullies her. I’m quite close with Mr. Lewis, so if someone bullies her, I will ask Mr. Lewis to back her up.”Serenity turned her head to look at him again. “No wonder my sister loves you so much. She always tells me to treat you well.”Zachary blushed slightly.He had always been on his best behavior in front of his sister-in-law.Due to time constraints, Serenity prepared a simple lunch.Fortunately, Zachary ate with relish and did not dislike it at all.Serenity thought that apart from not eating bacon, green onions, garlic, and coriander, he was actually quite easy to please.After the meal, Zachary di

Zachary looked at Serenity silently for a moment and was still keeping mum. He then turned around and left.Serenity opened her mouth and wanted to stop him, but she gave up. Since he did not want to say anything, it was useless even if she pried his mouth open.“His silence is so annoying. Why can’t he just say it frankly?”Serenity criticized Zachary’s reticence.Humans were curious beings, and Zachary piqued Serenity’s curiosity by being so hesitant to speak. She always wondered what he was trying to say.Within two minutes, the quiet man came in with a bouquet of roses.Serenity looked at him, dumbfounded.She could not believe that Zachary was holding a bunch of flowers.Serenity rubbed her eyes and looked at him again to confirm that the man was indeed Mr. York.‘Is he going to give me the flowers?’For some reason, Serenity’s heart raced, and every nerve in her body suddenly tightened. Hell, she was so nervous!Zachary did not hand the bouquet to Serenity. Instead, he

Serenity said, “My husband gave it to me. Isn’t it pretty? I think it’s beautiful. I love it!”After taking countless photos of the bouquet, Serenity put down her phone to pick up the bouquet and took a sniff. “It smells so good too!”To Shawn, this scene was an eyesore.“Oh, your husband gave it to you? What’s the occasion today? I haven’t seen him send flowers to you before.” Shawn’s smile was a little stiff. His tone was a little bitter as if he had a bone to pick.Serenity looked up at him and said, “Does it need to be an occasion for my husband to send me flowers? If I want, my husband can send me a bunch of flowers every day. I was just worried that he’d spend too much because a bouquet isn’t cheap. It’s not edible either. I told my husband that it would be better if he saved that money to buy meat instead of flowers. That’s why he never sent me flowers.”Shawn said, “Right…”"Shawn, are you looking for Jas? Why don’t you call her? She should be back soon.”“It’s nothing.

Jasmine said, “Do you believe that it doesn’t mean anything? Seren, if you both have feelings for each other, you two should seize the opportunity. I’m still waiting to attend your real wedding so I can be your bridesmaid!”Jasmine teased her friend.“You’re thinking a little too far ahead.”“I don’t think it’s too far ahead. Haha! Seren, I’m going to grab a cup of coffee with Shawn. What do you want? I’ll get a takeout for you later.”Serenity thought about it for a while and said, “Just get me a cup of milk tea, please.”“Okay,” Jasmine replied immediately. “You watch over the store. I’m going to have coffee.”“Go ahead!”The store was not busy at this time anyway. Serenity would either be napping at the cashier or making her handicrafts.Jasmine left.Shawn was waiting outside.When Jasmine came out, the smile on her face faded.“Let’s go.”She went straight to Shawn’s car.Shawn saw that his cousin’s expression was a little serious and he felt a little guilty for no re

Zachary said he wanted the Hunts to be poorer than beggars.Josh replied with a smile, “There won’t be a good show if you crush them with a single blow.”Zachary was speechless.“You must be patient dealing with these people. Take it slow and let them lose everything they have bit by bit. It’ll be tormenting for them to try their best to fix their situation, yet they can only watch as they lose everything.”Josh admitted he dropped the ball this time because he was in no hurry to crush the Hunts in one blow.“But don’t worry, boss! You’ll definitely be satisfied with the results.“John Hunt was fired by his company. The trending story was very popular back then, so John has a bad reputation in the industry. It’ll be very difficult for him to find a good job.”Zachary’s expression eased after he heard that John had completely lost his job.“You gotta thank Ms. Stone for this. Ms. Stone asked her brother to fire John. I have to say, Ms. Stone is especially nice to your wife.”Za

Married at First Sight Chapter 4145
“I’m sorry. I have a business appointment tonight.”Tati rejected Manny’s invitation without hesitation. Manny had been pursuing her relentlessly. If she were to have a meal with him, the paparazzi stalking them would take pictures and she would be on the local entertainment headlines the next day. She would not give Manny any chances to advertise false information about their relationship. Manny looked disappointed. “Another day then.“By the way, you’ll be attending a banquet two days later, right? Can I be your escort?”Tati and Isabella would not attend just any banquet. Families who could invite them were wealthy and close to the O’Connors. Ordinary banquets could never have Tati and Isabella as guests. Manny had gathered information for two days. He heard that one of the wealthy families in Satbury would be holding a banquet to celebrate their old missus’s eightieth birthday, and many guests were invited to liven up the celebration. A missus of that family was clos

“My family isn’t inferior to yours, sweet Tati. The Longbottoms even surpass the O’Connors. As a young master of the Longbottoms, why will I go after your family’s money?“Money has never been a problem for the Longbottom family. In fact, you and I are the best match for each other. Our families are equally rich. If we get together, it’ll be a joining of two strong forces.”Tati wanted to say that while the Longbottom family surpassed the O’Connors, Manny was not the true person in power within his family. Even his father was not the legitimate head. The power and wealth of the Longbottom family belonged to the true head of the family. Tony and Manny Longbottom were simply managing the family in the interim. Did they think the family had become theirs?If the son of the previous Longbottom family head grew up and returned to take charge of the family, Tony and Manny would no longer have any influence. They would only receive some compensation for their hard work. Without the L

Tati looked toward Manny and said in a serious tone, “If you love someone, you’d be considerate of her and do what’s best for her.“Meanwhile, you’re disregarding any inconvenience this might cause me just to appear romantic. You know I’m busy, yet you put flowers here and blocked my way, wasting my time.“Do your actions truly reflect your love for me? Are you being considerate of me?”Tati would not have said a word if Manny had asked his people to place the flowers in an empty spot. However, he just had to do it at the entrance of the company, attracting many people. Her company security team could not even chase them away. They knew Manny’s identity and that he was pursuing her. If the security chased him away, the Longbottom and O’Connor families could end up enemies. Secondly, they were worried about getting fired if Tati were to accept Manny’s feelings one day and decide to punish them. Tati would not blame the security for failing to execute their duty. After Manny s

“It’s okay if you don’t want my bouquets. Can you feel my sincere love for you through these letters?“I fell in love with you at first sight, and I fell even harder the second time I saw you.”Manny’s gaze was affectionate as if he truly loved Tati. To be honest, Tati was outstanding in various aspects. She was good enough for him, a young master of the Longbottoms. They were also close in age and definitely had common topics to talk about. However, Tati refused to give him a chance and rejected his confession. That did not matter. After all, it had not been long since he started pursuing Tati. As the O’Connors had more daughters than sons, he could understand that their daughters would be especially cautious regarding romantic relationships. They did not want men dating them solely for the O’Connor family’s money. Although that had been Manny’s initial intention, he was satisfied with Tati after meeting her in person. He was willing to marry her. Besides, Tati was com

Meanwhile, in Satbury, Tati returned to the company but was forced to stop her car at the entrance. Some people were decorating the entrance with flowers. Security tried to chase them away, but they did not even budge. The security guards seemed wary of something and did not force those people to leave. A few cars were parked nearby, including a truck that still carried fresh flowers.Tati did not honk. There were people and flowers on the road before her and honking was useless anyway, or she could simply drive past without a care. She got out of the car to have a look. “Sweet Tati.”An unfamiliar voice rang. Tati looked toward the person who called her and frowned. She recognized that person. He was Manny Longbottom, the eldest son of the interim head of the family.Mr. Longbottom had come over several times for business negotiations. However, it was not yet his scheduled timing. Even if he were the Longbottom family’s interim head, there would be no special treatmen

First, Adrian poured himself a glass of water. He then sat down at his desk, pulled out his phone, and made a call to Jacob while sipping his water.When the call connected, he spoke in a low voice, “We’re going ahead with the plan. Caroline will be heading to Fortress Hotel later to meet with a client. After the meeting, she’ll have dinner there.“The discussion and dinner will take a long time. By the time she leaves the hotel, it’ll already be nighttime. She probably won’t go anywhere else after that.“Wait for her on the route she usually takes home. Her license plate is CA 201. Got it?”Adrian made sure Jacob remembered Caroline’s license plate number. He had also sent the information via text, so unless the person had an exceptionally bad memory, they should be able to recall it.Jacob replied, “Got it. We’ll have to start preparing, then. Try to get Caroline to drink some alcohol. If she’s drunk, it’ll be easier to handle her.”After all, they could not guarantee that the

Adrian snapped, “Are you saying that I don’t do real work? Caroline, I was working at Fisher Enterprise long before we even knew you existed.”Caroline said neutrally, “Yes, yes, Adrian, you’ve been at Fisher Enterprise for a long time, but what achievements have you made? I mean, achievements that you accomplished on your own.“The results credited to you in the past weren’t actually your doing. You know better than anyone how they came about, so I won’t spell it out. I may have joined Fisher Enterprise only recently, but look at the position I’m in now.“Adrian, I’ve made it very clear. If you want to keep your job, do it well and take it seriously. Stop trying to take credit for other people’s work.”Adrian’s expression darkened. “I only said a couple of things, and you fired back with dozens. Can’t you give me some grace? I have pride, too.”“Adrian, go back to work. I need to get ready to head out soon.” Caroline was done talking to her brother.Adrian fell silent for a mo

Adrian was sullenly quiet. Was he really that incompetent? He thought he had done a pretty good job.Back when their mother was still around, he had not even needed to lift a finger. He just had to vaguely outline the requirements, and the elite team under him would come up with a proposal that satisfied everyone upstairs.All he had to do was wait for the praise and the compliments about how capable he was.After doing this for so long, Adrian had started to believe that he truly was talented.Then, he found out that Celine was not his biological sister and that Caroline was, but the latter had grown up in the countryside, appearing weak and timid, and seemed useless to the company—a good-for-nothing. Thus, Adrian began to harbor ambitions. He wanted to replace his sister and become the successor of the Fisher family.He had repeatedly expressed to his mother his desire to take over, to become the first male successor in the Fisher family’s history. He even said he was willing

Adrian tried several times to interrupt his sister, but Caroline’s barrage came at him like a machine gun, rapid and relentless. All he could do was glare at her, his face flush with anger. If looks could kill, Caroline would have been torn to pieces long ago.After finishing her lecture, Caroline picked up her cup and took a few sips of her coffee. She then said, “Adrian, look at me, I’m parched from all this talking. I’ve really gone out of my way to persuade you for your own good, just like how you tried to persuade me not to hand over control of the Fisher family. “To be honest, even if I didn’t give it back to Audrey and the rest, do you think I could hold onto the position of the matriarch?“The rest of the family doesn’t support us. They might not necessarily side with the Wiltspoonians either, but they definitely won’t side with us. They’ve long been dissatisfied with Mom and us.“Without their support and unable to win against Audrey, the Fisher legacy would eventually be
