Zachary looked at Serenity, who was also looking at him. He asked her, “Do you want to go to your sister’s house to take a look?”

Serenity looked at the time on her phone and said, “Hank won’t be back at this time.”

She paused and added, “My sister will take care of her own affairs. I’ll do my best to help her if she asks for help.”

Zachary then stayed silent.

He was texting someone on his phone.

A few minutes later, he suddenly said to her, “You’re not in a good mood. Why don’t you call it a day? I can accompany you wherever you want to go.”

After a brief silence, Serenity said, “I don’t have anywhere to go.”

Lately, Serenity’s mood would worsen drastically at the mention of her sister’s marriage.

Serenity and Liberty only had each other for so many years. After Liberty got married, Serenity thought her sister had found a good home and that what awaited her would be a lifetime of happiness.

However, the cruel reality was a slap in the face.

    When Zachary heard that, he frowned and wanted to say something, but Serenity continued, “Jasmine and I will compensate Elisa in other ways. We won’t take advantage of her.”Serenity and Jasmine could not stop Elisa from putting those things at the bookstore. If they did not accept it, they could not imagine Elisa’s degree of anger, so they had to accept it first.When Jasmine and Serenity were tidying up earlier, they had a good idea of ​how much those things were worth.In the future, they would find an opportunity to return the favor to Elisa.“It’s not a matter of taking advantage of her. Your store isn’t that spacious. You already have so many bookshelves and storage boxes, yet Ms. Stone keeps stuffing things into your store. It’s not like you can sell them. Isn’t that just taking up unnecessary space?”Actually, Zachary was just annoyed because he did not occupy any space in his wife’s store, and Elisa beat him to it.Zachary thought Elisa was always monopolizing his wife,

    Serenity said she wanted to go to the beach for some fresh air, so her wish was Zachary’s command.Of course, he could not bring her to the Seaview Villa.Fortunately, during this season, the beach was not as busy as it was in the summer at this hour. There were only a few tourists scattered around the beach.The couple walked on the soft sand while the waves crashed onto the shore. The sea breeze messed up Serenity’s hair and she was feeling chilly.Zachary suddenly stopped in his tracks, so Serenity followed suit and asked him, “What’s wrong?”He took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “It’s quite windy today. You should wear my jacket.”Seeing that Serenity did not take the jacket from him, Zachary continued, “Are you gonna put it on yourself, or do you want me to help you?”Serenity had no choice but to take his jacket and put it on. She asked, “Aren’t you cold?”“I am, but I’m more afraid that you’ll catch a cold.”Serenity looked at him and laughed, “Mr. York

    Serenity laughed.She suddenly wanted to see Zachary strip dance.Zachary stood up and flicked her forehead and she winced from the pain.“I don’t even know what’s in your head. You’re always so unpredictable.”Serenity put it out there again, “Nana always tells me to jump you, strip you, and sleep with you so she can have a great-granddaughter. I’m still thinking if I should fulfill Nana’s wish.”Zachary flicked her forehead again when he heard this.“Ouch!”It was painful, so Serenity took revenge by pinching his cheeks.“Serenity.”Zachary grabbed both of her hands and looked serious. Serenity’s playfulness vanished abruptly when she met his deep eyes. She said cautiously, “Mr. York, just say what you want to say. Your serious look is scaring me.”“Listen.”“Mhmm, I’m all ears.”“Whether we sleep together or not, it’s our privacy, so we should follow our hearts. Don’t sleep with me just because someone tells you to.”Zachary did not want their first time to be because o

    Zachary took off his suit jacket and handed it to Serenity. “Wear it and take a nap.”Since they were no longer at the beach, Serenity accepted and covered her body with the suit jacket before she took a nap.Zachary turned off the music in the car to not disturb her.He drove the car in silence while Serenity took a nap. After a while, they arrived at Brynfield.The bodyguards were wandering in the lobby because their boss was out of their sight all night.After the bodyguards saw Mrs. Lane came back with the missus’ pets, they found out that their boss was taking his wife out on a drive. The bodyguards were anxious, but no one dared contact the boss for fear of disturbing the couple’s privacy.At that moment when the bodyguards saw Zachary’s car, they quickly dispersed as they were afraid that the missus would see them.Jim ran the fastest and almost dove right into the bushes.That was because the missus could recognize him.Zachary pretended not to notice the bodyguards’ r

    Zachary acted on his idea. He sneaked around Serenity’s room and rummaged through her things like a thief.After searching all the places where Serenity might hide the agreement, Zachary still could not find her copy of the agreement.Where did she put it?Zachary stood in front of the dresser as he stared at it while trying to recall any corners which he might have left out.He had rummaged through all the drawers.Finally, his gaze landed on a piece of paper on the table with a golden hairpin drawn on it.He picked up the paper.Serenity’s drawing was excellent.Why did she draw this golden hairpin?Zachary could not guess Serenity’s intention of drawing a golden hairpin. He flipped it over and saw that it was the agreement he was looking for.Serenity doodled on the reverse side of her agreement.No wonder he could not find the agreement after he ransacked her room.Zachary folded Serenity’s copy of the agreement and stuffed it into his pants pocket. He then walked to th

    Liberty’s mind went blank for a moment.She did not expect Jessica to answer Hank’s phone.Liberty then took the phone away from her ear and recorded the call.Zachary’s friend helped Liberty to investigate and collect evidence of Hank’s adultery. However, the evidence he had could only prove that Hank was emotionally cheating on her because Hank did not sleep with Jessica.At that moment, the cheating pair was probably together, so Liberty thought of recording the call first.“Who are you?”Jessica was smug when Liberty kept silent. Liberty’s reaction was just as Jessica had imagined it to be.After Liberty found out that Hank was cheating, she made a huge fuss. Hank was so annoyed that he wanted to divorce her regardless of his son’s custody.If Liberty did not cry or make trouble, Hank and his family would think that Liberty was looking forward to a divorce and would make her stay instead.“I’m Hank’s secretary, Jessica Yates. Who are you?” Jessica asked knowingly.“Who am

    Liberty knew that she had to take care of her son and could not leave her son home alone at this hour just so she could catch the cheating pair in the act.Liberty was contemplating if she should call her sister.Should she disturb her sister at this time?After hesitating for a while, Liberty felt that it would be beneficial to her to seize this opportunity to capture more evidence of Hank’s adultery.Thus, she called Serenity.Serenity slept so soundly after drinking two bottles of beer that she did not know Zachary carried her upstairs.Liberty called Serenity repeatedly, which forced Serenity to wake up.Serenity took her phone and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.“Hello, who is it…?”“Seren, it’s me, Liberty.”“Liberty, what’s wrong?”Serenity, who was gradually regaining her senses, remembered that Liberty was going to bring up divorce to the scumbag Hank and thought they got into a fight again. Serenity’s sleepiness instantly disappeared. She sudden

    Serenity removed a key from her bunch of keys and handed it to Zachary while she said, “This is the key to my sister’s house.”Zachary’s dark eyes flickered.He knew Hank was at a business entertainment.Since Zachary asked Josh to investigate Hank and collect evidence of Hank’s infidelity, the nosy Josh went above and beyond his task and sent someone to follow Hank discreetly.Therefore, Josh knew what Hank was doing as soon as Hank left his office.When Zachary was with Serenity in the evening, he took the time to send a message to Josh, telling Josh to look for an opportunity to fuel the flames so Hank and Jessica could make substantial progress. That way, they would have evidence of Hank betraying his marriage.This way, Liberty would get the upper hand from a moral point of view when she filed for divorce.Now that Hank and Jessica finally slept together, was it a natural course of events or was it the result of Zachary’s intervention?Zachary could not determine which one

    “If Mom said she would create an opportunity for you to get with the king, would you really believe her? It’s just talk—nothing actually happened.” Trenton could not resist poking Carrie’s forehead a few times. “Carrie, can you please come back to earth? In your current state, forget about finding a great guy like Callum—even a regular, decent guy would be turned off by you.”Carrie swatted away her brother’s fingers, irritated and embarrassed. “Am I really that bad? I’m young, beautiful, have a great figure, and a dignified heiress. If the monarchy still existed, I could marry the king and be his queen without a problem.”“Carrie, you have sky-high ambitions, but be careful, don’t fly too close to the sun and end up like Icarus.”As soon as he said that, Trenton was met with a smack from his sister.“Is there a brother who curses his own sister like that? What do you mean by that? I’m destined to have the princess life. I’ll be fine.”However, deep down, she was still worried bec

    Camryn was right—he was just too soft-hearted. If he were as ruthless as her, Carrie would have found a job long ago after running out of money.To encourage Carrie to become independent, Trenton decided that after Christmas, he would stop giving her living expenses. He would also tell their parents during his visit to prison that Carrie was truly hopeless.“Trenton, you keep siding with her, and one day you'll regret it. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing who has deceived who knows how many people. Do you really think she cares about you? She just wants to win your complete trust to take everything that belongs to you for herself. By driving us out of our home, she’s not only seeking revenge on Mom and Dad but also on us—especially you. She’s just pretending to be nice to you to sow discord between us siblings.”“Carrie!” Trenton said seriously, “Don’t talk about Camryn like that. She’s not that kind of person. I believe in her, one hundred percent.”Carrie was so furious she wanted

    “Alright, alright, I can't win with the two of you against one,” Carrie sulked. “Give me money to spend. I'm out of money.”She reached out her hand toward Camryn, wanting her to give her money. Camryn slapped her hand away. “Even Trenton knows to take advantage of the winter break to find a part-time job and earn some pocket money. You’re perfectly capable, yet you don’t look for a job.“To put it bluntly, if you’ve gone to sweep the streets, you'd still have a source of income. I have money, but I won’t give it to you. Don’t think that just because we’re sisters—estranged, too, at that—I have an obligation to support my adult sister. I’ve said it before: if you want money to spend, earn it yourself.” With that, Camryn walked away to tend to her plants.As Christmas approached, the flower market was bustling. Every day, many people came to buy flowers, and all her employees were out delivering flowers to clients. Sometimes, when it got too busy, she even had to ask her two bodyguar

    Trenton was relieved that Dalton was indebted to Camryn. That was why Dalton had been loyal to Newman Enterprise.If Newman Enterprise did not fall into Camryn’s hands, there was no doubt that Dalton would leave the company. If that happened, the company was doomed.When his parents went to prison, he was merely 18, and Carrie only knew how to spend money. Not only that, their relatives were hungry to get a share of the Newman family’s assets. He and Carrie could not have protected their family’s wealth alone.After Camryn regained her sight, she still could not strain her eyes for long hours. Therefore, Dalton remained in charge of the company.Luckily, they had Callum as well. Even if anything were to happen, Callum would not leave Newman Enterprise to fall because many of the Newman family’s assets belonged to Camryn.He would not let Camryn lose anything.“You’ve been brainwashed by Dalton after working with him. Our dad treated him well and trusted him, yet Dalton betrayed

    Camryn said, “She’s just using her lack of money as an excuse to start a fight with me.“Do you really think she has no money?”Carrie had somehow become Mrs. Longbottom yet she was still hiding her identity. Camryn had not understood the entire situation yet.Nevertheless, she was certain that Carrie did not need money.After she spoke, a familiar car arrived.It was the car Carrie had always used in the past.When she returned to the Newman family’s villa after getting out of prison, she only drove that car. She could not take other cars. The cars were still parked in the garage. “Come out, Camryn.”Carrie had gotten out of the car and started shouting for Camryn.When the York family’s bodyguards saw her, they simply glanced at her and did not stop her from entering the store. They knew Camryn had always been lenient with her younger sister.Since Camryn did not give any orders to stop Carrie from entering, the bodyguards simply kept an eye on Carrie to ensure that sh

    “I want to go to Spring Blossoms as Carrie,” she told the bodyguard who was driving. “Your sister’s people are keeping an eye on your apartment. She’ll get suspicious again if you head over in your outfit. Everything Mr. Longbottom arranged will go to waste,” the bodyguard reminded her.Carrie thought it over. “Okay. Let’s head home first. I’ll change my clothes and remove my makeup before heading over.”She would also check if her stand-in had damaged any of her stuff.If she did, Carrie would tell the stand-in to compensate her.The bodyguard remained silent.Once they arrived at Longbottom Villa, Carrie took off her hyper-realistic mask and removed her makeup. After changing her clothes, she returned to being Carrie and went out with her bag.Her two bodyguards did not stop her from leaving.She could do anything as long as it would not rouse Camryn and other people’s suspicions.Besides, Carrie had just gotten scolded by their boss on the phone. Although Mr. Longbottom

    Mr. Longbottom thought he was not so inferior to men younger than him.More accurately, he was far superior. He had status, money, and power.Which of the younger men could be on par with him unless they came from a wealthy family?Many sons of wealthy families could not compete with him.“I can’t go over because I’m busy these days. But I do miss you too.“It’s more difficult because of the festive season. There are many events, and I have to accompany my family. My wife doesn't care about me, but her request is that I be with her during the holidays because we have to meet our friends and families. Do you understand?”Mr. Longbottom had a wife and children. Carrie knew about it. He had never hid that fact.Carrie did not know if he was close to his wife. Although he said they no longer had feelings for each other, Carrie dared not believe him because he had never let other women take his wife’s place.He also never allowed other women to become pregnant with his children.Mr

    Carrie thought she had matured since she could figure out that much. In the past, she would not have understood a thing. Love was about accepting everything about someone. Most people could tolerate their partner’s shortcomings when they were deeply in love. However, without love, even a person’s strength would seem like a fault. Carrie smiled. “Mr. York is a workaholic. Serenity must’ve gotten the habit from him and turned into one herself. I can’t believe she’s working so hard even though she’s pregnant.”“She’s still in the early stages of pregnancy. Going to work is fine.”“Do you need anything else, Mrs. Longbottom?” Jasmine asked.“No. I shall take my leave now, Mrs. Bucham.”Jasmine was on guard and unwilling to reveal much about Serenity. Therefore, it would be better for Carrie to leave. She was not close to Serenity and her friends yet. “Bye, Mrs. Longbottom.”Jasmine saw Carrie out and watched as she got into her car.Once Carrie got far enough from the booksto

    Mr. Longbottom had been surprised by her question. He told her coldly that she should refrain from asking unnecessary questions.One who knew too much would not live long. Carrie got intimidated and dared not ask another question. Although she got more curious, she did not try to gather more information for fear Mr. Longbottom would choke her again if he found out. “Nothing. I just asked because I haven’t seen her in a while.”Of course, Carrie could not reveal that she was looking for Serenity. Jasmine would get suspicious if she did. No one around Serenity was a fool. “Seren is busy with work. I rarely see her these days,” Jasmine said.Carrie knew it was a lie. She was aware that Serenity's closest friends did not trust her yet. It made her feel defeated. It had been months since Mr. Longbottom found her and asked her to approach Serenity. Despite her efforts, she still had not obtained Serenity’s trust, let alone become her friend.However, Jasmine and Serenity go
