Married at First Sight Chapter 438
Josh said casually, “When do you want it?”“The sooner the better, of course.”“I’ll give it to you tomorrow. Is that too late?”“That’s fine.”Tomorrow was when Liberty and Hank would be talking about divorce. It would be advantageous for Liberty if she held evidence of Hank’s assets.“You’re really going all out for your sister-in-law. I don’t see you working so hard for your own company.”Zachary was silent for a moment and said, “Serenity is full of gratitude to me now.”“Gratitude is not love. You have to do more for her to fall in love with you. However, if you can help solve her sister’s problem, she’ll feel that you’re an amazing person. She’ll grow more dependent on you, and her heart will be moved subconsciously.”Josh did not have a girlfriend, but his analysis was clear and logical.After the analysis, he asked Zachary, “Did you fall in love? Don’t try to make your wife fall in love with you without the intention of loving her back. That’s called playing with her f
Married at First Sight Chapter 439
Alas, Zachary only thought about it and did not act on it. His pride stopped him from doing something that sneaky.Thus, he tossed and turned, and finally got taken away by the sandman.Meanwhile, in an apartment, Hank was fumbling around the bedside table for a pack of cigarettes. He then pulled out a stick, and was just about to light it up when the woman next to him reached over. “Give me one too.”Hank handed the cigarette to Jessica and helped her light it.“Just smoke once in a while.”Hank was not a heavy smoker and only smoked when he talked business with clients. Usually, he did not smoke unless he had something on his mind.Liberty did not like men who smoked all the time because she felt their breath stink.Jessica smoked, but she pretended to be virtuous and never smoked in front of Hank. However, Hank and her had gone all the way, and he was also preparing to divorce Liberty for her sake.Thus, Jessica did not think it was necessary to hide it anymore. Hank would f

Jessica was upset but did not show it. After all, she was not his wife yet, so she could not say too much lest Hank resent her. Her future husband’s family might also have a problem with her.Sonny was just over two years old. He was not sensible yet and could not take care of himself. If he lived under her hands, she had plenty of opportunities to deal with him, so there was no hurry.“No problem.”Jessica handed the divorce agreement back to Hank. “I’ll print two copies for you. Take them to Liberty tomorrow and have her sign them, one for each of you. On Monday, hurry and go to the City Hall to file for divorce.”Hank laughed. “I’m more impatient than you are.”“I’m not impatient.”Jessica laughed as she helped Hank print the divorce papers.That night, the two people dreamed beautifully, thinking about their happy life after marriage.The night passed without a word.The next day, Serenity woke up and saw the note Zachary left on the dresser. She quickly picked up her phon

Serenity asked, “Where can we send Sonny to?”Hank knew where Serenity lived.They did not have anyone they could depend on in their hometown either. Not to mention Liberty, even Serenity would not be at ease.Jasmine reminded Serenity. “What about Elisa? You can ask Elisa for a favor. She’s the Stone Group’s heiress and lives in a large villa with high security. Moreover, with the Stone Group’s prestige, the Browns wouldn’t dare go and make a scene.“They wouldn’t expect Sonny to be with the Stones. Elisa likes Sonny very much too, so she’ll definitely take good care of Sonny.”Serenity’s eyes lit up. “Right! I forgot about Elisa. I’ll discuss it with my sister later. If she agrees, then I’ll ask Elisa to help take care of Sonny for the time being.”“Elisa has already said that you can go to her if you need help. Serenity, sometimes we’ll have to give in to reality. In this unfair world, it’s easier for the rich and powerful to get things done compared to ordinary people like us
Married at First Sight Chapter 442
Serenity said, “Liberty, it doesn’t matter whether the police will be of help, just call them first.”“Okay, I’ll call the police now.”“What about your in-laws?”“They left after Sonny was carried into the car. They probably went to find Hank. He didn’t come home last night.”Serenity thought about it for a while and said, “Liberty, you should call the police first. Zachary and I will go to Hank’s hometown and Chelsea’s house now. They probably took Sonny back to their hometown.”Liberty and Hank were about to divorce, and the custody was not yet determined. The Browns took Sonny away without Liberty’s permission, so if she called the police, the police would most likely be mediators. If none of them compromised, they would just have to wait for the court to resolve it together with the divorce proceedings.Although the Browns were also Sonny’s relatives, Liberty and Serenity had taken care of Sonny since his birth. Sonny did not have a close relationship with the Browns. If Son

Zachary called Callum while he walked out.It was early in the morning, so Callum was still in dreamland.The phone rang for a while before Callum answered.“Zack, what’s up?”Callum opened his eyes to look at the caller ID, then closed his eyes after answering the call.On weekends, Callum had nothing to do and would not wake up until noon.“Callum, please inform everyone except Rowan to go to… Serenity, which expressway do we need to take to Liberty’s in-laws’ house?”“We’ll need to take the XX expressway for around forty minutes.”Zachary said to his cousin on the phone, “You all can wait for me and Serenity at the intersection of the XX expressway. Something happened, and I need your help.”Callum heard that Zachary wanted to gather all nine of the York brothers, except Rowan because he was still a minor.Callum asked with concern, “Zack, what happened?”Why was it necessary to gather all the York brothers?“Serenity’s nephew was kidnapped. Her sister is going through a

Grandma May and Mrs. Lane arrived at Bright Boulevard and went straight to Liberty’s house. As soon as they got out of the elevator, they heard loud cries which were disturbing the neighbors. A crowd gathered in front of Liberty’s place to see what was going on.“Hank Brown, you b*stard! Give me back my son! Your whole family is despicable! You treat Sonny like a toy and come over to play with him whenever you please. But when you make him cry, you just leave without a word.“Sonny is two years and five months old, but have you guys, as his grandparents, ever bought him a piece of clothing? You didn’t even buy him a toy. Now you’re saying that you miss Sonny? Even if you miss Sonny, have I ever stopped you from seeing him?”Liberty was held down by her in-laws to prevent her from beating up Hank. She struggled desperately as she cried and cursed like a mad woman.Since she fought with her husband’s family before, she no longer cared how disheveled her hair was. Her voice was hoarse
Married at First Sight Chapter 445
Mr. and Mrs. Brown could not help their daughter because Grandma May would kick them when they tried to help.The Browns were stunned that an old lady who was almost eighty years old was still so strong and vicious.Under Grandma May’s protection, Liberty and Chelsea had a fierce fight.Chelsea was usually just sharp-tongued. When it came to fighting, she could not compare to Liberty. Liberty’s weight was an advantage in a fight. As soon as she sat on Chelsea, Chelsea could not get up.Liberty finally stopped slapping Chelsea, who looked like a broken rag doll.“Hank, why are you still with such a sl*t?! Divorce her immediately! Kick her out of your house! This is your house, so make her leave!”Chelsea had never suffered such grievance and humiliation. She was beaten violently by Liberty while many onlookers watched. At this moment, her hair was disheveled, and her face was swollen. Her whole body was in pain.“Chelsea.”Mr. and Mrs. Brown hurriedly helped their daughter up. T

Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in

“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
Married at First Sight Chapter 4125
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request

“Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and

The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi

In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com

“I’m used to him being by my side. Now that he’s hidden, it just feels weird.”Caroline added, “Even if I want to kiss him, I can only do it in my dreams.”Liberty was speechless. Seeing Liberty being at a loss for words, Caroline smiled. “Did I renew your impression of me?”“Yes. I didn’t know you were this kind of person.”Caroline giggled. “Darren’s too serious and respectful. If I don’t take the lead, we might sleep on opposite ends of the bed after getting married. He probably won’t even dare to turn in bed.”Liberty thought of Darren’s face, which constantly had a stern expression. He only looked normal around Caroline. He indeed treated her respectfully and never dared to offend her. Liberty said, “You’re still his master. It’s only natural that he’s acting that way.“When you two become husband and wife, he’ll change. However, you won’t have to doubt his love and loyalty for you.”The next thing Liberty knew, Caroline asked her private questions regarding married lif

Caroline moved first, exiting the elevator.Adrian blocked her path, refusing to give way.Caroline did not want to argue with her brothers, so she simply sidestepped and continued toward the CEO’s office. The Clark brothers watched her leave.“Let’s go, Adrian.” Justin entered the elevator first.Adrian withdrew his gaze and led Jason into the elevator.“I heard Darren’s out on a business trip and has been sent to another province to handle some matters, so he won’t be back for at least ten days to half a month,” Jason shared in a low voice. “And for the past few days, Caroline’s only been accompanied by those few bodyguards of hers. There really hasn’t been any sign of Darren with her. I’ve asked someone to look into it and verified Darren left Jensburg by flight a few days ago. What do you think, Adrian?”Adrian replied under his breath, “We’re at work. Don’t talk about that here. We’ll talk about it when we get home tonight.”Justin and Jason immediately shut their mouths.

“I’m in charge now, not your mother. If you can’t do the work, then don’t cling to your positions and collect a salary for doing nothing.”Liberty had no intention of tolerating their laziness any longer.The three brothers had tried investing and running their own businesses, but they mostly ended up losing money. The only stable income they had was from renting out the properties and shops they owned.That was why Hunter had advised his sons to return to Ashford, buy more properties and shops, and live off the rental income. It was much more stable than their business ventures.If the properties were hard to rent out, they could always sell them and recover some money, but with their business investments, not only did they lose money, they often ended up in debt by the time the businesses failed.It was a mystery how much of Belinda’s personal wealth had been spent helping her sons pay off their debts while she was alive.However, there were times when they made money. They wou
