Chapter 382

Author: Gu Lingfei
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

    Zachary locked the front door and pulled Serenity out. As he walked, he explained, “My friend found out that your brother-in-law is now at Grand Hotel, which is owned by the Stone Group. I work at York Corporation, and the two companies aren’t on good terms with each other. I don’t want people from the Stone Group to recognize me, so I painted half of my face black. No one will be able to recognize me now.”Serenity glanced at the birthmark that he drew.Even when they were in a rush, Zachary could think of this detail, which showed how meticulous he was.No wonder Zachary could be a white-collar executive at York Corporation.Serenity finally believed Grandma May’s praises for Zachary that he was a very attentive man.Of course, Zachary would only be attentive if he cared about someone.“Wash it off with soap water when we come back later.”Serenity ran a bookstore that sold stationeries, so she knew how to clean marker stains on the skin.Zachary wanted to say that she could

    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

    The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her

    Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre

    Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc
