Chapter 703

Author: Gu Lingfei
After dinner, Zachary cleared the table while Serenity wiped and tidied the place. She then ventured out of the dining room to take a seat opposite her mother-in-law.

Serenity looked at the time and said, “Mom, why don’t you drive the car into the driveway and stay the night?”

“It’s okay. I’ll head back in a bit. Your father-in-law doesn’t feel comfortable if I’m not at home with him.”

After her son took over the company, her husband retired and had not left Tania’s side since. Her husband could not get used to Tania staying away from home.

Serenity was envious of her parents-in-law’s relationship.

They had been together for decades and were still faithful to each other into their golden years.

“Mom, I didn’t know Zachary bought this villa. He never told me. I only heard about it now. The place is bigger than the apartment in Brynfield. It feels empty that it’s just the two of us here. How about you move in with Dad?”

Tania was taken aback. “You want to live with your in-

    Tania stared intently at her son for a while before breaking the silence. “You call the shots for your own affairs. I can only give you some advice. I’m going back before your dad gets worried. Are you and your wife coming home for New Year?” “Didn’t Nana tell you? I’ll be back with Seren to the old residence for New Year.” “The old residence. Oh, you’re referring to that mansion. No wonder your nana has been going there lately.” It turned out her son wanted to take Serenity back to Whitmore Mansion to celebrate New Year’s holiday. The place had been through the vicissitude of life and reflected the former glory of the Yorks’ ancestors. “How long are you planning to keep up with the act?” “I got it thought out, Mom. I know what I’m doing. I’ll let the whole of Wiltspoon know about my marriage to Seren when the time comes.” He could get a start on wedding planning. Zachary envisioned a beautiful ending, but only God knew how reality would pan out. Tania replied, “Sure. I

    On the other end of the line, Clive curtly said, “I’ll reveal to Serenity who you are if I don’t see you there. She might not be angry about the other things you hide from her, but the fact that you’re the great Mr. York will rub her the wrong way because of Elisa.” Black in the face, Zachary snapped back, “I said I’ll be there. Just wait for me.” The nerve of Clive to threaten him! “I’m the older cousin. Shouldn’t you be the one to wait for me?” Zachary coldly uttered, “The Grand Hotel belongs to you. You can be there any time. If you change the location to the Wiltspoon Hotel, I’ll arrive early and welcome you in the presidential suite.” “Is something riding on your guilty conscience? Are you scared? Is that why you’re making me wait for you?” “Clive, cut the crap.” Clive chuckled. “I’m older than you. You can’t change the fact that Serenity is my cousin. You don’t have to acknowledge me as the older figure if you don’t want to be Serenity’s husband. It’s rude that you

    Clive relayed the whole phone conversation he had with Zachary to his wife, clearing any doubts that he swung both ways. Zachary did not tell Serenity about the call from Clive to meet up. He went back into the house and joined his wife on the sofa to watch TV. They enjoyed the TV program until Serenity started to yawn. Zachary eagerly turned off the TV and carried her upstairs. Back in the bedroom, Zachary lay in bed with Serenity to chat for a while. The conversation ended when the person next to him stopped speaking. Tilting his head, Zachary realized Serenity had drifted into slumberland. Zachary heaved himself up and drew close to her before murmuring, “Seren. Seren.” Serenity was asleep to realize what was going on around her. With his mind at ease, Zachary kissed her cheeks and tenderly uttered, “Goodnight, Seren.” He then lifted the covers and tiptoed out of bed. Zachary tucked Serenity in, grabbed his coat, and snuck out of the bedroom. Out of the villa, Z

    “Mr. York.” The bodyguard spoke up once more. Zachary turned his attention to the bodyguard. The bodyguard uttered, “Mr. Stone said you need to get it yourself to show your sincerity. You can’t let your bodyguards run the errand for you. Your respect for Mr. Stone represents your love for Ms. Hunt.” In other words, Zachary would be insulting Clive if he did not make the purchase himself. It meant he did not love Serenity enough to give Clive basic respect. Clive’s terrorization saw Zachary seething with rage. Yet, Clive got him where it hurt. Although Serenity and Mrs. Stone had not known each other for long, they were related by blood. Zachary could not take the Stones lightly. Without another word, Zachary turned on his heel and left. He went to get a gift for Clive. The major supermarkets were closed. Zachary had to go to a convenience store that operated 24/7. He did not take his time to pick a gift. Instead, he led his security team into the convenience sto

    Zachary could not hide the embarrassment on his handsome face when he got a good look at the item. Clive gave Zachary hell. Zachary reacted by going all the way to the convenience store and clearing the shelves. He did not even look at what he grabbed, so he had no idea the sanitary pads were caught among the stuff. “You have a wife.” Zachary threw the pack of sanitary pads back to Clive. Clive burst into laughter. Clive laughed so hard that Zachary wanted to pounce on him and strangle him! In all the years of fighting, Zachary had never been so awkward before Clive. Clive could not stop guffawing for a long time. Rubbing his belly, he said, “Zachary, are you trying to make me laugh to my grave so you can inherit my family’s fortune? Man, you’re killing me.” “You better have a will written out to pass down your inheritance to me before you die laughing.” Clive’s laughter mellowed into a chuckle. “You probably won’t think much about my fortune. I’m not as wealthy as yo

    Zachary fell silent for a while before gruffly uttering, “I believe you should be on top of keeping Elisa away.” He could not possibly be the one to get rid of Elisa. “We’ll make arrangements. You need to text me before coming, so I can distract her away from seeing you. I’ll keep my parents in the loop too.” Zachary had no problems with the plan. He did not want Elisa to know about him and Serenity for now. They were in the honeymoon period of their relationship. God knew what Elisa would do in a moment of madness when she found out. “I probably can’t make time before New Year, but I’ll find time to visit your family with Serenity after.” Serenity had lost her parents. There was no way she would visit her money-hungry relatives back in her hometown. Family to Serenity was Liberty and the Stones. Clive asked, “What are you doing before New Year? Isn’t your office closed by Christmas Eve?” Stone Group was giving its employees time off around that time. Major corpora

    Clive’s and Zachary’s bodyguards trailed behind without a word. People would think they saw ghosts if this group of people did not make a sound while striding ahead. Clive stopped right before getting into the lift. “Zachary,” he said in a low voice. Zachary turned his head to look at him. Clive took a long pause before saying, “Stop stealing my business.” Zachary nonchalantly replied, “People have a choice to change their minds before they seal the deal. Some even back out after signing the contract. That’s how business is. You can’t say that I steal your business. You should recognize that Stone Group is not strong enough to convince clients from choosing York Corporation instead.“Business is business. Favor is another thing. Don’t mix personal with business.” Clive remarked, “Zachary, you have balls.” Zachary remained offhanded. “Of course, I have balls, but you… You’ve been married for years now. When are you going to have a baby? Are you unwell or something? Since

    Who was here bright early in the morning? Serenity went downstairs and found the keys to open the main door. She then walked out of the house to find a figure standing at the gate. The person was carrying two bags. By the looks of it, he must be a food deliveryman. “Morning, Ms. Hunt.” Mr. Zen gleefully greeted her. “Oh, it’s you. Good morning.” It never occurred to Serenity that it was the lobby manager of Wiltspoon Hotel. Raising the bags in his hands, Mr. Zen uttered with a smile, “Mr. York called me last night to order two sets of breakfast. I’m here to deliver the food at the requested time. Sorry to bother you this early in the morning, Ms. Hunt.” Serenity wondered when Zachary found the time to order breakfast from Mr. Zen as she was with him the whole night. Zachary often got Wiltspoon Hotel to do the delivery too. Although Zachary enjoyed discounts at the hotel as an employee of York Corporation, he should not pour all his money into the place. Serenity kep

    “I’ll still try my best to convince them to leave. One of these days, I’ll go meet my father and my two sisters-in-law, and get them to try to persuade my brothers. If they still refuse to listen, then there’s nothing else I can do.”“You should do whatever you think is right. I’ll leave them alone as long as they don’t appear before me.”It was not that Caroline did not care about her brothers; it was them who did not value the relationship. What else could she do? Liberty said, “I’m not the kind of person who would harm the innocent. As long as they stay honest and don’t get involved in any schemes or underhanded tactics, and leave Jensburg for the Clark hometown, I’ll only take half of what they currently have.” She would leave half of the assets for Adrian and the others. They would not starve, and this way, she was still showing Caroline some respect.“They won’t give up easily. They’ll still try to make trouble. You taking only half of their assets is already showing mer

    Duncan had been so insistent on marrying no one but Liberty that his current temporary cripple was the result of his conflict with his parents. He had sacrificed his legs in exchange for their consent, but who knew whether his parents truly accepted Liberty or were just pretending to?“They’re very good to me, and they’ve accepted Sonny. It’s not that they don’t want to take care of him—, it’s Sonny who wants to stay with Seren.” Liberty explained, "My in-laws tried to persuade Sonny to stay with them for several days, but they didn’t manage to.“Ever since Sonny was born, it’s mostly been Seren looking after him. During the most difficult times, Seren helped me a lot too, so when I’m not home, Sonny prefers to be with her. No matter how good others are to him, he still chooses to stay with her.”Duncan loved Sonny like his own child, but if Liberty was not in Wiltspoon, Sonny would not want to stay with Duncan. He preferred to stay with his aunt.“That’s good, then.”As long as

    Then there was her mother, who had committed countless evil deeds. It was likely that Liberty and the others would not pay respects to Belinda, as she was an enemy of Liberty’s branch of the family. No matter how magnanimous Liberty was, she would not go as far as to visit the grave of her enemy. Therefore, Caroline needed to come back herself to pay respects to her mother, to ensure that her mother’s grave would not be neglected. This was her duty as a daughter. Her mother had committed many sins, but she was still her mother.“Anyway, I’ll also be back to attend your wedding to Mr. Lewis. Technically, I’m still your elder.”Caroline smiled as she extended her belated blessings. “Liberty, I wish you and Mr. Lewis a lifetime of happiness. Mr. Lewis loves you dearly. You two will definitely be very happy together.”Duncan was such an outstanding person in his own right but was willing to marry into the Fisher family for Liberty. This truly broke the previous streak of the matri

    Liberty liked people who got things done. As for the senior executives present, it was unclear what they were thinking, but those who liked to bootlick and had no real skills were certainly nervous inside.When a new official took office, they often would make changes. Liberty, as the new head, would certainly make her own impact that definitely entailed even more than just a few changes, possibly a dozen.After all, Fisher Enterprise was the property of the Fisher family. It was not publicly listed, and 100% of the shares belonged to the family, with the head of the family controlling everything. Thus, the matriarch held absolute authority in the company. In the past, the elders of the family could still intervene in the company affairs, but after Belinda took over, she gradually sidelined the elders. Those who were capable of opposing her were secretly harmed and even killed, while the remaining elders lacked the courage and ability to challenge her.Hence, now, the CEO held ab

    They were well aware of how strong Darren was. He could fend all three of them off one-handed.Darren was also fiercely loyal to Caroline. If they dared to lay a finger on Caroline, even if they ran away to the ends of the earth, Darren had the ability to track them down and avenge her.He was unwaveringly loyal just like Mr. Gordon, who had been devoted to Belinda his whole life. When she passed away, Mr. Gordon followed soon after. Truly, not even death could part them.Jason was dragged away by Adrian, still muttering curses under his breath. After the Clark brothers left, the meeting room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Caroline looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone else have anything to say?”Everyone glanced around at each other. One of the executives of the company took the lead and said, “We’re merely employees of Fisher Enterprise, not members of the Fisher family. Family affairs are beyond our scope.”The elders of the family, recognizing th

    What Belinda actually cared about the most was the Fisher family. She did not want her family to disappear from the circle of aristocratic and wealthy families in Jensburg, so even though Celine was not all that capable, Belinda still devoted herself to nurturing her. It was not until she found out that Celine was not her biological daughter and the two swapped children returned to their rightful places that she gradually recognized Caroline's abilities. Only then did she understand why the family rules had been set up that way—Caroline really was far more capable than Celine.The only regret she had was that Caroline did not grow up by her side, so their values and opinions were different. Before her death, Belinda already knew that Caroline did not want to take over the Fisher family, but had no choice but to do so. When the truth came to light, Caroline was the one who felt the most relieved because it meant she no longer had to take over the family business and could return ev

    “That’s right. We don’t think there’s an issue with Liberty taking over.”Other elders were of the same opinion. Adrian, Justin, and Josh were exasperated. Their hope of having the elders on their side seemed to have vanished.“Let’s pause the meeting and talk outside, Caroline.”Adrian was out of options.Caroline said coldly, “You three are able to attend this meeting not because you’re Mom’s sons, but because you’re senior managers of Fisher Enterprise.“You have no right to interfere with the Fisher family’s internal affairs.“There’s nothing else to talk about. We had many conversations last year, and I’ve stated my stance in each of them. I won’t take anything that doesn’t belong to me. If Mom had succeeded Aunt Tiara or inherited the position from our grandmother, I wouldn't be handing the position of matriarch to someone else today.“However, that wasn’t the case. You all know the entire process of how Mom became the matriarch. She had committed grave sins. We should

    Justin seconded his brother’s statement.Liberty looked toward the Clark brothers. They were the ones who were most unsatisfied with Caroline’s decision. Liberty said, “I’ve already changed my surname. Since my mom is a Fisher, I’m one too.”She had become Liberty Fisher. Liberty had taken on her mother’s surname and became the successor of the Fisher family.Serenity was still a Hunt. There was no need for her to change her surname.“The position of matriarch should’ve gone to my aunt or mom. However, your mother killed my grandmother, Tiara, and caused Aunt Audrey and my mom to be unable to return home. They lost their parents and had their families destroyed. Meanwhile, your mother took everything as her own.“Belinda had paid for the sins she had committed against my grandmother. Everything shall return to normal. Naturally, Tiara’s descendants should be the ones to take over the Fisher family and become the matriarch.”Liberty retorted Adrian’s statement, “Do you have an

    Meanwhile, in Jensburg, the conference room located on the top floor of Fisher Enterprise was filled with the senior managers of the company.Over ten elders of the Fisher family were also present.They were of the same generation as Audrey and were much older than Liberty.Caroline and Liberty were seated at the head of the table. Darren was beside them. The three Clark brothers were present as well.If a gaze could kill, they would have killed Caroline and Liberty many times over.Their hatred toward Caroline ran deep.They had begged and persuaded her, but she refused to listen to them. She insisted on handing the company and everything that belonged to the Fisher family to Liberty.She said the Fisher family members had already lost confidence in them.So what?When their mother was the matriarch, she had already gathered eighty percent of the shares through her continuous effort.It allowed the matriarch to have the final say no matter what.The older generation in the
