Unfortunately, those good days were coming to an end.Josh finally ended the call with Mrs. Sox.He returned the phone to Jasmine and looked at her with a smile and said, “Let’s go to your aunt’s house for dinner tonight. What should I prepare? What’s my status now?”Jasmine glanced at him as she continued to eat, and said, “Even if you’re a scumbag, my aunt and the others will still think that you’re the best.”He was Josh Bucham, the Mr. Bucham from York Corporation, and from the mysterious Bucham family. That status and identity were what her aunt wanted her niece to have.When they discovered that Serenity’s husband was the heir of the York family, Jasmine’s mother and aunt envied Serenity’s good fortune in front of Jasmine for having taken one of the most outstanding men in Wiltspoon.They always looked at Jasmine when they praised Serenity, and Jasmine knew very well what those expressions meant.Josh said confidently, “I’m not a scumbag. Not to blow my own trumpet, but th
Jasmine could not help but laugh. “You can be a landlord whenever you want.”“My family’s houses and stores belong to my parents, not me. My mom only told me to collect the rent because she’s too lazy to do it herself, and she gives me a few thousand as remuneration.”Her parents’ money belonged to themselves.Her capabilities could only be measured by the money she earned by herself.“Aunt Rachel said that Shawn came back and asked us to go over for dinner for a get-together.“He just came back for the weekend to see my aunt. He won’t try to bug Seren, so you and Mr. York should stop attacking him and Lowe Enterprise.”Jasmine was not dumb. She figured everything out after learning that Zachary was from the York family.Jasmine would not believe that Josh did not have a hand in Lowe Enterprise being attacked.Josh did not have a guilty conscience, so he said, “Zachary only told Mr. Lowe the reason he terminated their cooperation out of consideration for you and I. Otherwise, L
At those words, Shawn was shell-shocked. He was in utter disbelief.“You’re lying, right? You’re lying to me because you want me to give up. How can Serenity’s husband be Mr. York? I...” Shawn suddenly remembered that he had not seen Serenity’s husband since she got married.“I have no reason to lie to you. I also found out about this not long ago. It was Mr. York who told us himself. He said that he was attacking Lowe Enterprise because you’re pining for his wife. Shawn, the entire Lowe family will be buried with you if you continue to pester Serenity.”Solemnly his mother added, “You don’t have to bring benefits to the Lowe family, but don’t drag Lowe Enterprise through the mud.”“Zachary... Mr. York’s name is Zachary?”Shawn was in incredulity.Mr. York was Serenity’s husband!“It’s not surprising that you don’t know Mr. York’s name. Many people don’t either. Shawn, it doesn’t matter what his name is. What matters is that he’s Serenity’s husband! Putting aside his status, pos
The phone in Zachary’s hand almost slipped to the ground. He anxiously called Josh.“Josh, which hospital is Seren in?”His words affected her so much that they caused her to hurt herself.Zachary regretted and blamed himself.Why could he not control his foul temper?“I don’t know which hospital she’s at either. I saw Jasmine alone when I came to the store. I only learned that your wife was injured and sent to a hospital by Elisa when I asked. If you want to know what happened, then call and ask.”Zachary immediately hung up the call with Josh.He called Serenity.The line rang for a long time before she picked up.“Which hospital are you at, Seren? Are you badly hurt? I’ll be right there.”The person who answered the phone was Elisa.Serenity was getting an IV infusion.It was only after arriving at the hospital did Elisa see how deep Serenity’s wound was. It continued to bleed even as the doctor cleaned the wound again. Elisa was a little afraid of blood, so her legs wen
Zachary was speechless.There was no doubt Elisa was Clive’s sister—the siblings were the same. When they found out that he was Serenity’s husband, they both acted like they had seniority over him as Serenity’s older cousins.He hung up the phone.The nearest hospital to Wiltspoon School was Wiltspoon Community Hospital. Even without checking, he could guess that Elisa sent Serenity to Wiltspoon Community Hospital.Elisa was not angry at being hung up on by Zachary. She helped put Serenity’s phone back into her purse and said, “Seren, your mom is my aunt, which means we’re cousins. The DNA test confirmed it, so it’s an indisputable fact.“I’m a year older than you, so I have seniority over you, right? Zachary is your husband. It stands to reason that I also have seniority over him. You need to make him address me more politely, or my anger won’t be relieved.”Serenity wanted to laugh and said, “It’s his mouth. I can’t control him if he doesn’t want to do it.”“You have to contro
Serenity looked at Elisa quietly.Elisa said, “I’m a little tired from talking so much. I’ll go get a glass of water. Do you want one?”“Yes, please, and thank you.”Elisa reached out and lightly pinched Serenity’s face, laughing. “We’re sisters. There’s no need to be so polite. You take quite good care of your face. It’s really nice to touch. Does Zachary like to touch your face?”Serenity was speechless.Before she could answer, Elisa smiled and walked away.She poured Serenity and herself a cup of warm water.Serenity stretched out her injured hand, but instead of handing her the cup, Elisa brought it straight to Serenity’s lips and said thoughtfully, “I’ll feed you.”“I can do it myself. I can’t do anything else with my fingers wrapped like this, but I can still hold a glass of water.”Although that was what Serenity said, she still accepted Elisa’s thoughtfulness.After they both finished their water, Elisa sat down again and said, “That’s all I have to say to you for no
Never in her wildest dreams would she guess that she was lied to by Grandma May and Zachary. The man whom she thought was an ordinary salaryman turned out to be the eldest young master of the York family.A plot that only appeared in novels actually happened in real life. Serenity was truly dumbfounded.She was caught off guard and did not know what to do.She could not leave, but she could not continue on either. She was extremely conflicted.It was hard for her to replicate the path taken by her aunt.Times were better back when her aunt was young. She could climb up as long as she seized the opportunity.However, it was completely different now.Of course, Serenity knew that women should strive for self-improvement. She never thought of relying on a man for the rest of her life. From her sister’s marriage, she witnessed that she could not believe men when they said nonsense like “I’ll support you”. Their mentality would change at any time.Several men in suits nervously gath
“Right, the head of their family is the same as you. He also got married out of nowhere. His wife grew up in the countryside too, but she was much luckier than you. Although she was adopted, her adoptive parents treated her as if she was their own and raised her well.“She has adoptive parents who genuinely love her, and she has an older brother who spoils her like crazy too. Later, she found her biological parents who turned out to be from the richest family in Meadspring. Her identity changed from a country bumpkin to the missy of the Meadspring’s Lafayette family overnight. She’s a match for the Johnson family head whether it’s her status or identity.”Elisa was from the Stone family, so she knew all about the gentry’s affairs.Her cousin was not as lucky as Mrs. Johnson.“Seren, do you think I should go over and greet him? I’ve met Remy several times before.”Serenity laughed. “Since you know each other, go over and say hello.”“I think so too. Sit here while I go and say hel
