Ring, ring, ring… The office phone was ringing. Zachary accepted the call and put it on loudspeaker. “Mr. York, Ms. Stone is here again.” With his face falling, Zachary uttered in a flat tone, “Ignore her.” The secretary replied, “Ms. Stone ordered a truck of flowers to be arranged into a heart shape and delivered to the entrance of our building. Apparently, the heart represents her love for you.” Josh’s eyes on his boss were sparkling with gossip. Zachary looked askance at Josh before retorting, “What’s the security here for? Why are they allowing trash at our doorstep?” He then terminated the call. The secretary got the message loud and clear. Josh chuckled. “Elisa is a great girl. She’s forthcoming with her feelings. I mean, the number of women who have a thing for you has got to be as many as the hair on my head, but only Elisa has the guts to profess her love and prove it with her actions.” “Go for her then if you think she’s great. Get her to give you all th
Married at First Sight Chapter 88
Elisa was the heiress of the Stones after all. Stone Group and York Corporation were not on good terms, so the security guards’ inhospitality toward Elisa could aggravate the hostility between both giants. It was not a responsibility the security guards could shoulder. Soon, a few speeding cars pulled up in front of York Corporation. Getting out of the car, Clive took quick strides toward his sister who was yelling out all the love she had for Zachary through a megaphone. The scowl on his handsome face did not go amiss. There was no question that Zachary called Clive again to make a fuss about his sister’s antics. Clive happened to be in a meeting when he received the complaint. Frustration could barely describe Clive’s emotions right now. Ditching his team of executives, Clive took his bodyguard and came all the way to drag Elisa back. “Zachary…” Before Elisa could finish, the megaphone was snatched right out of her hands. She looked over and met the stern eyes of h
Married at First Sight Chapter 89
Back in the bookshop near Wiltspoon School, Serenity sat behind the cash register, scrolling on her phone reading news while Jasmine was lost in a romance book. As the owner of a bookshop, Jasmine had free rein to explore all the books she wanted. That was the perk for doing what she loved for a living. Jasmine had read almost all the romance novels in the shop. At times, Serenity would tease by asking Jasmine to become a writer since she had always enjoyed romance novels.“Seren, the main characters of this story got married at first sight too.” As she put down the book, Jasmine added with a smile, “Just like you.” Serenity was fixated on Jasmine. “Lots of people got married after dating shortly. Well, you did say that the female character of that book blindly married a billionaire. My husband is only a wage earner.” Even though Zachary was a senior white-collar worker in a major group, he was working for someone. “You might want to cut down on reading. I think the stor

“It would be a shame for Ms. Stone if Mr. York plays for the other team.” Jasmine added regrettably, “It’s disappointing that someone finally had the courage to go after Mr. York, but it didn’t have a happy ending. Speaking of which, do you think the heir swings the other way?” Serenity replied amusedly, “How would I know?” It was only their suspicion, but of course, Mr. York’s sexual orientation would be determined should he accept and marry Ms. Stone. Nevertheless, what did it have to do with Serenity? The hottest gossip, even if it was about Mr. York, was not worthy of Serenity’s time. Jasmine, however, loved getting into it. Every so often, Jasmine would babble about local big stories within Serenity’s earshot. Refusing to engage in gossip, Serenity took out her tools to get into her crafting. Jasmine rambled on under her breath while checking out the trending news. Not too long later, her expression turned stern, and she then slammed hard on the cash register.The

Ring, ring, ring… Serenity’s phone rang. Picking up the phone for a look, Serenity saw that it was her sister and took the call. “Seren, did you see the news on Twitter? They’re too much!” Liberty was up in arms. As she was fifteen when their parents died in the accident, Liberty had a clearer memory of the events that followed. Liberty kept a diary of every detail of their grandparents and uncles’ heartless deeds. She still had the diary in possession. It never occurred to Liberty that these relatives would do a one-eighty and point finger at the sisters. “It’s not like they turned bad overnight. They have always been evil.” “I’ll go online now to explain our side of the story.” Liberty was about to hang up when Serenity stopped her. “No need to jump to our defense. Let the story sit for a while before we respond. Then, it’s our turn to show the whole world who they are.“Since they put our faces and numbers online, we should do our homework and stick the evidence
Married at First Sight Chapter 92
With her husband blowing up on her, Liberty was furious and disconcerted. She snapped back. “Don’t worry. I won’t get you involved. After what I did to my relatives, I had no intention of staying in touch with them. They’re the ones who won’t leave me and my sister alone. They want me and Serenity to pay for Grandmom’s medical bills.” Realizing that he might have come out harsh, Hank toned it down. “Liberty, you can write a tweet to clear the air. I’ll pay for professional trolling to hype your post. You must refute their claims. Don’t let them twist the story around.” Although Hank was disgusted by Liberty’s presence, he had to admit that her relatives loved to spin the story far from the truth. When he and Liberty got hitched, these relatives filled two cars and intimidated Hank with great numbers to fork out a lump sum of family support. Otherwise, they would not see the marriage through. Hank and Liberty were college sweethearts, so he knew the sisters had it rough coming t

“We’ve been operating our business on this street for years now. You all know what Seren’s like. Whatever that’s written online is bullsh*t.”Serenity did not say much to defend herself. It was Jasmine, who could not stand people getting the wrong message about her best friend, sticking up for Serenity. Jasmine spilled the beans on the sisters’ hardships while they were in the hands of the Hunts. It was a tell-all account that included the latest fiasco of the relatives demanding Serenity to foot the grandmother’s medical bills and cover the cousins’ gas and whatnot after the grandmother had fallen ill. Everybody had borne witness to Serenity’s character. Even the other booksellers down the street, despite the competition among businesses, believed Serenity was not that kind of girl. Now that they got the whole story, everybody was fired up to put the truth across to the netizens. The Hunts should not get away with this. Now that was a low blow even for the Hunts. They we

Serenity fell into contemplation before agreeing to let Zachary come with. Walking around the cash register, Serenity told her best friend, “I’m heading out for a while, Jasmine. I’ll leave the shop in your hands. Reassure my sister that everything’s going to be okay when she comes over. I’ll sort things out.” “Okay.” After telling her best friend to be safe, Jasmine watched as Serenity and Zachary took off. Sitting in Zachary’s car, Serenity asked him, “Mr. York, do you know anyone in the media?” “Yes. Do you need their help with something?” Serenity replied, “I’m going back to my hometown to take photos of my uncles’ houses. It’ll be more convincing with a third party validating it. I still don’t know what my relatives do for a living.” Her grandparents were still hogging her family home too. Serenity intended to snap photos of their living conditions. A visual proof was crucial to disapprove their claims. As for the public witch hunt online, Serenity was not going to

Layla scoffed. “Who knows if you’re truly sincere?”“I know you all won’t believe me no matter what I say, Ms. Doyle. I’ll prove that I’m serious about Imogen through my actions.”Dylan spoke with honesty, “If there’s a sliver of possibility that I’m playing around with Imogen’s heart again, you don’t have to teach me a lesson. My family will gladly do the honors. Besides, I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I thought of developing a relationship with Imogen because of Nana’s orders.”“That’s right. You listened to your nana and came to pursue Jen for three months. Jen was young and naive. Just when she started getting attracted to you, you ran away and said you realized you couldn’t fall in love with her.“Is Jen’s love worth so little? Would you even have given an explanation if Jen didn’t go to you for one?“It’s been months since then. Just as Jen has moved on, you reappear and disrupt her peaceful life. You came back to pursue her because you couldn’t get the woman you lo

“We can talk about this next time. By the way, Layla already left.“I still have some work to do. I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again even if the world is ending. I’ll hate you if you disturb me and make me work till late at night.”Dylan said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you. Go on with your work. Remember not to exhaust yourself.”Imogen hung up without another word.Before Dylan could even put his phone back into his pocket, he saw a luxury car exiting the parking lot.Since it was past working hours, most employees had already left.That luxury car probably belonged to Layla.Dylan had met members of the Doyle family before. However, he did not have a deep impression of them.Layla Doyle was the president of Davidson Group. Although there was still a board of directors above her, she still called the shots for most matters.Therefore, she was extremely busy. Back when Dylan deliberately approached Imogen and treated her well to pursue her, he had only seen Layla once from afa

Dylan smiled. “Look, Imogen. It’s dark, and it’s time to have dinner. Aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you come out and have dinner with me? I can take you back to the office to continue working afterward. What do you think?“How much work do you have left? I bought two movie tickets. We can go watch a movie after you’re done working.”Imogen rejected him coldly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. I’m not free. I’ll be heading home for dinner after work. Since it’s a rare day where I don’t have to attend an event, I want to have a good rest.”She had already made an appointment with a few of her best friends to go shopping at eight o’clock that night.She had no time to accompany Dylan.How could he think of having dinner and watching a movie together? It had only been one day since he decided to pursue her again.Dylan could dream on.Imogen had not even admitted she was Chameleon Fox. How could she possibly accept him?Did he think she was an easy target?In the past, Imogen had loved him s

“Besides, he caught a cold just from standing outside for half an hour without his jacket last time. He was only fine because he drank some spicy soup and took some medicine. Also, he has a strong body, because if it were other people, they would’ve fallen sick.“I just wanted to torture him a little. I don’t want him to die. I still need him so I can marry into the York family.”Layla smiled. “The York family has many young masters. It doesn’t have to be him. His cousins are of similar age as you, right?”“Peter is close to my age, but he already has a fiancée. Austin already has an arranged partner too. River and the rest are too young. Even if they were offered to me, I wouldn’t want them. I don’t like being the older one in a relationship.”Rowan was not even a legal adult yet.Layla said, “Okay. Old Mrs. York is a weird lady, but I can’t deny that she has a good eye for people.“I think Dylan isn’t even good enough for you. He can’t win against you in a fight, and his IQ and

If Imogen hated the noise and excitement in the air, she would not have snooped around as Chameleon Fox. That identity allowed her to explore and have fun. Sometimes, she would step up to help someone or be a troublemaker and offend someone.Layla walked over and sat down. She watched Imogen’s charming face and smiled. “That York guy is here again. He’s waiting at the company’s entrance. He has a bouquet in his hands, and his new car is parked behind him.“It looks like he wants to invite you to have a dinner date with him.”Layla asked, “What is he trying to do? Are you still planning to accept him?”Dylan had been living in a hotel since his arrival in Huntington. He was already looking at houses but had not found one he liked yet.Grandma May suggested he learn from Remy and buy a house right beside the Doyle family's. It would make it more convenient for him to pursue Imogen.However, none of the Doyles’ neighbors intended to sell their houses. Those people did not lack money

Imogen did not give Dylan a reply. She was still in the office.She did not even have time to look at his messages. She just wanted to finish her work as soon as possible so she could leave and eat.Did Dylan not need to work?He also had a company under his name. Even if he was not involved in managing York Corporation, he still had to manage his own company, right?Imogen was extremely busy.She had been overwhelmed with work since she resumed working yesterday. She would be at a meeting, on her way to see a client, handling documents, or solving issues at a branch company.Imogen barely had time to take a sip of water, let alone reply to Dylan’s messages.Seeing Dylan being so relaxed while she was working so hard put her in a bad mood. Her urge to ignore him gradually increased.As her parents had mentioned, she had other men to choose from. Dylan was not her only option.She could fall in love with someone else.Even if Imogen were to choose Dylan in the end, she would m

However, they had heard that this man had previously pursued Imogen, and those who had a good memory and had seen Dylan before, had already recognized him.When Imogen seemed a bit interested, this man then said he did not love her and went to pursue someone else. After failing to win over that person, he backtracked to pursue their vice president once more. This behavior left many people with a bad impression of Dylan.What did he take their vice president for?It was worth noting that Imogen was the chairman’s niece and the president’s sister. The chairman treated his own daughter and niece the same, and in the Doyle family, she was very much favored by her elders. The Doyles were one of the top families in Huntington, and as part of it, Imogen did not have to worry about finding a husband.Dylan ignored the looks people gave him. His gaze fixed on the cars coming out of the Davidson Group building, afraid that if he blinked, Imogen would pass him by.He watched the employees le

Duncan called Serenity to inform her that he was taking Sonny to the Lewises’ for dinner and would send him back later. Naturally, Serenity had no objections. With her nephew being well taken care of by Duncan, Serenity had time to go shopping with Jasmine. Jasmine was buying baby supplies as she was eight months pregnant and it was high time to prepare for the baby’s arrival. Watching Jasmine pick up items for her baby made Serenity feel the itch, and she ended up buying a ton of stuff for both her baby and Sonny.In the evening, Zachary and Josh came to pick up their wives.They both managed to cancel their appointments, leaving the task of handling work engagements to Callum and other senior executives. The two men who were once the busiest had now become the ones who most enjoyed slacking off.“Why did you buy so much? Where’s Sonny?” Zachary asked as he walked toward Serenity when he got out of the car. He saw his wife and her bodyguards carrying a bunch of shopping bags. T

Olivia cursed Duncan one last time. “You won’t have a good ending bullying the weak!” she spat before she was pulled away by her husband.Duncan watched them leave, his expression cold. “Dunc, don't be angry. My grandmom is always like that. When Lucas wanted my toys before, I cried and refused to let him take them. My mom wouldn’t let him either, but she always scolded my mom. I still remember that.”Sonny could vaguely remember some things from when he was two years old. It had only been a little over two years since then, after all.As he comforted Duncan, he gently touched Duncan's face, speaking softly, “Aunt Ser says we shouldn’t get too angry. If we get too angry, we’ll grow old faster. I don’t want you to get old, Dunc. I want you to stay just like this forever.“Dunc, please don’t be mad anymore. I won’t eat the fried chicken my grandmom buys for me anymore.”Duncan could not help but feel both amused and heartbroken for both Sonny and Liberty, who had been mistreated b
