Chapter 677

Author: Gu Lingfei
After the doctor made his rounds, the nurse came by to put Zachary on IV drips.

Serenity stared at Zachary while Mr. Tank went to check with the doctor on the type of shot to be administered to Zachary.

Zachary looked at the bag of IV fluid, pondering on ways to escape the injection.

“What’s the matter, Zachary?”

With Zachary staring blankly at the IV fluid without blinking, Serenity asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“Seren.”

Holding onto her hands, Zachary uttered pitifully, “Can I get the pills instead? I don’t like jabs. They hurt.”

“It’s all for your own good. Besides, you talked about the side effects of medicine, so taking the shot should do the trick.”

Serenity withdrew her arm and amusedly pinched his cheek. “So there is something you’re afraid of.”

Zachary grabbed her hands once more and looked deeply and affectionately into her eyes. “The thing I’m most afraid of is you leaving me.”

“Alright now. Quit the act. Your attempt to be affectionate and

    Serenity uttered with joy in her eyes. “Hang in there then. You’re thirty years old, Zachary. How can a thirty-year-old manly man be afraid of a shot?” It turned out Zachary was afraid of needles. Zachary had better prayed not to be sick if he ever crossed her again. She would get the doctor to administer shots to him for any illness he had. With Zachary tensing his facial muscles without a word, Serenity leaned into his ear and whispered, “Be a good boy and take the shot, Zachary. Then, I can go all the way with you and go back. Call it a reward since I rushed over to take care of you.” Zachary’s dark eyes were sparkling. He asked, “Can I?” Sitting straight, Serenity smiled through her eyes. “Once you get discharged from the hospital.“How about it? Are you going to take the shot?” Looking rather conflicted, Zachary rolled up his sleeve and put his hand out in the end. He closed his eyes and took the shot like a champ. While the injection was being administered, Zacha

    Zachary had developed feelings for Serenity first and fell head over heels for her while Serenity had only made a tiny step forward. She could shrink back into her shell at any time. He fell silent. Zachary and Serenity often got into fights not just because their relationship was not strong enough. His personality and habits were parts of the reason too. It was unlikely that Serenity would change for him. She was not the type to rely on men completely. Serenity would not even let him in the loops of things that she could handle by herself. Hence, he had to change for her instead. “Why aren’t you saying anything? You always keep to yourself when I teach you how to chase your wife and build a relationship with her.” “I don’t know what to say,” Zachary replied honestly. Grandma May responded, “Why do I have such a senseless grandson like you? If your brothers and cousins are like you, I’d rather reunite with your grandpa than worry about all of you.” Her sons and daughter

    As Liberty was spilling on the sides, she did not wear a gown. It was mainly because there were no suitable evening dresses for her. It was too late to tailor one to her size. Nevertheless, she put on some new clothes and painted her face naturally. She also wore a jewelry set gifted by Mrs. Stone that brought out a sense of privilege in her. Sonny wore a mini suit. The little man was handsome, to begin with, and the suit only gave prominence to his attractive looks. Any woman who had seen Sonny could not resist holding him. The little guy was timid at first, but he soon got used to it and became bolder. He would sweetly thank anyone who complimented his looks. In fact, he became the star of the event. “Ma’am, Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Duncan are here.” With a maid approaching Mrs. Stone and informing the arrival of the distinguished guests, Mrs. Stone led her daughter and niece out to welcome them. Mrs. Stone held Liberty’s hand and said with a smile, “Come with me to welcome M

    Sonny recoiled behind his mother.Turning around, Liberty picked her son up and said, “Sonny, this is Mr. Lewis. You met him before.” Sonny simply stared at Duncan. As polite as he usually was, Sonny refused to say hello to Duncan. “The child is beautiful,” Mrs. Lewis complimented. Mrs. Stone’s elder niece was broad around the beam, but her son was rather handsome. “Duncan, your scary face scared the little guy. He won’t let you touch him.” Mrs. Lewis tore one into her youngest son. Since the incident when Duncan got a cut on his face, Mrs. Lewis was all for her son to go under the knife to remove the scar and get his good looks back. However, the headstrong b*stard refused to take her advice and do the surgery. He had no consideration for his mother who nearly had a heart attack and cried so many nights over the accident. Many years had passed, and the scar remained. The once hunk now found himself single at thirty-five… Hang on. Duncan was about to celebrate his th

    “Don’t worry. I won’t give Mrs. Lewis a chance to make things difficult for me. Don’t be mad.” “You’re so forgiving, Liberty. I would never allow anyone to look at me that way if it were me. I’d make her pay.” Liberty smiled. How could she compare herself to Elisa? Elisa was an heiress born with a silver spoon.Liberty was an orphan who lost both parents at a young age. “I got your back from now on. You must let me know if anyone gives you an attitude or bullies you. I’ll kick their *sses for you.” “Jasmine’s here.” With Jasmine and her brother arriving at the scene, Liberty alerted Elisa and distracted her from the topic. Jasmine dragged her brother along to the event so she could get a free ride off him and feast to her heart’s content at the party. It was a pity that Serenity was not in Wiltspoon. “Jasmine.” Elisa and Liberty walked up to them. “Why did you take ages, Jasmine?” As Elisa drew close and intimately held Jasmine’s arm, many looked over and rec

    It alerted Liberty’s internal alarm bells to ring. She callously asked, “Who told you that I got that much money? I didn’t work or have any income after I got married.” “Your mother-in-law said so. Liberty, my business has hit a rough patch and is in the red. I lost all the money I profited from over the years. I don’t have cash going into the business, so I was thinking if you could lend me a million bucks.” Liberty sneered in anger. There were no boundaries when it came to these people. They would not stop bugging her and Serenity. “You might want to look in the mirror and see if you can find your dignity, Mike. After all that you’ve done to me and my sister, you have the gall to ask me for money?! That’s right. I do have a million dollars, but I won’t lend it to you. I’d rather give the money to anyone else than you!” “Oh, come on, Liberty. We’re family after all. Look, you girls were stubborn then. You didn’t get your husband to pay us for family support. He married y

    Despite John’s persistent questioning, the human resource managers would not reveal to him who else, apart from Stone Group, was putting an end to his professional career. John knew that someone had Serenity and her sister’s back. He thought it was Elisa at first, but now it seemed there was someone more powerful than Elisa standing behind the sister. Who could it be? The person had the power to stop anybody from hiring him in Wiltspoon. Having lost his confidence, John decided to wait until Grandmom was out of the hospital and send his grandparents back to their hometown before figuring something out in the new year. “What do we do now?” Stuart was anxious. “Whoever’s behind Serenity and her sister must be some sort of big shot. They’re the reason for our job losses and business failures. You’re feeling the pinch too even though you don’t run a huge business.“Mike, we can have a family meeting when your grandmom is out of the hospital. We should apologize sincerely as Se

    Elisa was there to hear the entire conversation between Liberty and Mike. She angrily uttered, “I can’t believe they’re still hounding you for money.” “He wants to borrow money from me, saying that business is bad now, and he’s in the red. He needs to pump in a million bucks into operations.” “How shameless of him! And I thought I was the most brazen person in Wiltspoon. People called me shameless for going after Mr. York, but compared to your relatives, I’m considered modest.” Liberty ended up soothing Elisa instead. “Don’t get worked up over these people, Elisa. Serenity and I will never be on good terms with them. Those people can go to hell for all I care.” The hardship the Hunts faced right now was karma hitting back at them. “Come on, let’s enjoy the buffet and alcohol. Elisa, your pastry chef makes the best desserts. I’m going to eat to my heart’s content today!” Jasmine turned the subject of conversation elsewhere. Elisa laughed at her. “Desserts are fattening… Li

He’s just using the Longbottoms’ name, since their influence in Windermere is enormous.”In terms of wealth, the O'Connors and the Longbottoms were on equal footing, but the O'Connors had fewer members and did not have the same level of influence in Windermere as the Longbottoms.Isabella said, “He’s very ambitious.

    Tony was aware that whenever his wife had to play the villain, it was always to protect him. He said, “You're right, I misspoke. Your mother isn’t that kind of person.”“Manny, I’ll be leaving soon. You stay here, and I’ll leave half of my men with you. If anything comes up that you can't handle, contact me. I’ll be waiting to hear good news from you.” Tony decided to fly to Wiltspoon in the afternoon. He would only stay for two or three days before returning to Havenmill to handle business.However, as he thought about how he was working like a horse for Longbottom Corporation when many of the benefits did not even belong to him personally, Tony felt a bit disgruntled.“Got it.” Manny did not reject his father’s arrangement.As the Longbottom father and son were discussing how to deal with the O’Connors, Austin entered Isabella’s office.Isabella was busy, so Austin did not disturb her. He quietly sat at the tea table and made some tea.“It seems you’ve learned the art of tea-

    Manny had never been to Wiltspoon, but he knew from his father that several prominent families in Wiltspoon had close ties with the Johnsons from Annenburg. It was possible that the child adopted by the Johnsons’ young missus was Laurence. Unfortunately, he could not meet that child, so he could not be a hundred percent certain. The child was currently out of sight and well-protected, hidden so effectively that even the Longbottoms’ information network could not find anything. The other prominent families in Wiltspoon were also helping to keep the child hidden, so Manny deeply disliked the people from these families. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they were still an obstacle to him and his father in their pursuit of becoming the true head of the family.“That's right. If we can conquer the O’Connors, we’ll have a backup plan,” his father said. “You must put your all into it, son. If you need help, just let me know, though this is also an opportunity for you to ge

    Tony Longbottom was the only person who would put on such a parade. The big shots in Satbury usually had entourages of their own, but none would put on a spectacle as big as Tony would.As they departed in their car, Tony’s gracious demeanor utterly shattered.His face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression as he said, “I’ve never been treated like this before, even when the legitimate branch of the family still lived, and those two ignorant little girls actually refused to see me multiple times.”Manny was very angry too and he said, “Pops, since they refuse to go about this the easy way, we’ll have to show them the hard way. We can approach it from other angles, and once they’re completely out of business and they have nowhere else to turn to, they’ll be at our mercy.“Won’t they have to do as we please then? I want to marry them, they’ll have to marry me, and if I don’t, I’ll just make them my mistresses. Don’t the O’Connors have plenty of daughters? I’ll fuck every one of them

    “Isabella O’Connor is so outstanding, so why are you asking me to go for Tati O’Connor instead?” Manny said under his breath in puzzlement.He had seen photos of the two ladies and Isabella’s appearance was more striking. She had a cold and aloof aura that easily triggered his desire to conquer her, and after just a few glances, he was captivated.If it were up to him, Manny would choose Isabella.Tony looked at his son, smiled, and said, “You can’t control her. Of course, if you manage to make her fall for you, we can talk about switching. But for now, focus on Tati O’Connor.”Tati was also beautiful. However, she did not have Isabella’s cold demeanor. She seemed much gentler, like she smiled often.“Marrying Tati O’Connor would be a big advantage for both you and our family.”Manny thought for a moment and then nodded in understanding. “Got it, Dad.”Manny’s good looks, wealth, honeyed tongue, and generosity toward girls made him good at winning them over.

    After testing the O’Connor sisters and realizing they were not like other women, Mr. Longbottom thought of having his son marry Tati.He knew that his son would not be able to handle or control Isabella, so he set his sights on Tati. Tati probably did not realize she was considered an easy target. Most people underestimated her because she had always kept a low profile.At that moment, a young man got out from the other side of the Rolls-Royce. He resembled Mr. Longbottom. Indeed, he was Mr. Longbotton’s eldest son, Manny.“Dad.”Manny went to his father’s side and glanced at the building before him. He asked, “Aren’t we driving inside?”In Havenmill, Manny could do whatever he wished because his father was the interim head of the Longbottom family. While he had no respect for ordinary people at all, he was clever enough not to offend people he should not.He never parked his car outside the places he wanted to go and simply drove his car through the gates. However, Manny

A bodyguard came out of the car.He waited for his boss, who was sitting in the backseat to exit.Mr. Longbottom got out of the car. Although he was over fifty years old, he looked like he was in his forties as he maintained his appearance well.He wore a white tailored suit with a tie, which made him look more youthful.The bodyguards in the other cars alighted as well.They quickly stood behind Mr. Longbottom to protect him.

    Jasmine added, “In some cases, the divorced women can get married to a better man, while the divorced men can’t even find a new wife. There are many single men now.“Isn’t there a saying nowadays that men who have wives are extremely lucky?”When Jasmine was at the bookstore, she would also visit the neighboring stores to listen to juicy gossip. Many of the store owners were not locals and they had many stories to tell. Someone said there was an evil mother-in-law in a rural area who looked down on her daughter-in-law. She would egg her son on to abuse his wife and get a divorce. She would also tell her son that she could find a better and younger wife for him.

    “Sonny’s fine. He has recovered. You want to get Sonny from school?”After thinking about it, Serenity agreed and said, “Okay. I’ll message Sonny’s teacher later to tell her you’ll be taking him.”“Okay, Serenity. Thank you.”Hank was thankful that Serenity did not make things difficult for him. Serenity and Liberty had great character. Liberty had a new relationship and already let go of her resentment for Hank. She could coexist with him peacefully. On the other hand, Serenity still held grudges against Hank. However, since he and Liberty had divorced, he could no longer hurt her. He was also Sonny’s father. Serenity was willing to tolerate him for Sonny’s sake. Therefore, she always said yes whenever Hank requested to meet his son. “You’ll be taking Sonny out to eat after picking him up, right? Remember not to let him eat too much fried food, especially fried chicken and fries. He’ll get a sore throat.“He got a fever that day due to a throat inflammation.”“Got it. I’ll
