Married at First Sight Chapter 920
Hank wanted to say that he had lost interest in Liberty a long time ago. Liberty was fat, and her weight took away all redeeming assets. However, now that Liberty shed a lot of pounds, she looked better than before. Hank could no longer say that in full confidence. Liberty was beautiful before the birth of their son. She was no lesser than Jessica in every single way. “Jessica loves to overthink. We were once a married couple after all. Jessica will take it the wrong way so long as we remain in contact. Don’t take it to heart, Liberty.” If Liberty still loved him… It was a huge ego boost for Hank with two women fighting over him. It was all in his head though. Liberty had stopped loving him a long time ago. Hank had mixed feelings about it. He was the one who betrayed Liberty, but it did not sit well with Hank that Liberty let go of her feelings for him. Hank hoped his life with Jessica would only get better after the divorce while Liberty could live her days miserabl

Hank fled away in his car. On his way home, he could not stop cussing Liberty out. Jessica was the sweetest and kindest little thing. Hank did not regret divorcing Liberty! Back at his rented place, Hank saw a familiar car downstairs. Hank’s head was about to explode. It was his sister.Here came his sister again. Hank ran his fingers along his hair in annoyance. He had better go home. He and Jessica were out of work. It was clear that Zachary was out to get him. Did Zachary have something to do with his sister and brother-in-law losing their jobs too? In that case, Hank had dragged his sister down with him. Once outside the door, Hank could hear the arguments inside. Since the company let Jessica and Hank go together, the couple left the office together. However, Hank told Jessica to get out and hail a cab mid-journey as he needed to blow some steam off. Showing understanding, Jessica took a cab home. She was not in a good mood either. Hank always looked out for

George wanted to open his own construction material business. It cost around a hundred thousand dollars to rent a space and give it a facelift. Chelsea was reluctant to use her savings for her husband’s business setup now that the couple was no longer with an income. She would lose her savings if the business became a bust. Nevertheless, Chelsea wanted her husband to try it out. She would become the boss’s wife if the business was up and running. Accustomed to getting financial help from her family, Chelsea naturally came to her parents and brother for help. “I’m not Liberty!” Jessica broke down and yelled, “Go to Liberty if you like her that much. See if she even cares!” She was most bitter when the Browns compared her with Liberty. Before, the Browns often disgruntledly pointed out this and that about Liberty to Jessica. Since the divorce and Jessica joining the family, the Browns were now fawning over Liberty. “Chelsea, your son messed up my room, so you have to cle

“I married you without having a wedding reception. Your sister’s terrorizing me. I guess she can’t be bothered to play the nice sister-in-law.” Jessica heard that the Browns acted as though they adored Liberty and her sister before Hank and Liberty got married. After Liberty gave birth, the Browns showed their true colors, probably thinking Liberty would not leave since there was a child in the picture. Jessica had to admit that the Browns were good actors. The Browns did not care to put on a show now that Jessica married Hank. Jessica had real feelings for Hank. Otherwise, she would have thought twice before marrying into the family. As for the crazy in-laws, she had the confidence to sort them out. Her in-laws did not scare her. There was nothing to fear so long as she clung tight to Hank’s heart and his wallet. Jessica whined amid tears. Hank’s heart was broken as he stared at her tearful face. He scanned the room with anger building inside him. Wrapping his arm ar

Hank gave his sister the stink eye. “Clean up my room, Chelsea. You should keep an eye on Lucas next time. Don’t turn the place upside down every time you come. Lucas always picked on Sonny and stole his toys back then. He even lied and beat Sonny up so bad he was in the hospital. I know he’s young, but you should start disciplining him now. You’ll regret not doing anything about his behavior when he grows up.” Despite wanting to say her piece, Chelsea was reminded of why she was here. Hence, she reluctantly uttered, “Got it. I’ll tidy up your bedroom. That’s how Lucas is. How am I supposed to do anything about it?” After soothing his wife, Hank asked his sister, “What brings you here, Chelsea?” “Your brother-in-law and I are out of work. We haven’t been lucky with our job prospects, and our age is not helping either. The employees are looking for people not older than thirty-five years old. Your brother-in-law and I are in our forties. “So now your brother-in-law is thinkin
Married at First Sight Chapter 925
As expected, Jessica said, “Chelsea, Hank and I have a wedding coming up. Our house is under renovation too. Everything costs money. We both lost our jobs, so we don’t have any spare cash lying around to lend you.” Jessica gathered from Hank’s statement that her money-hungry sister-in-law had fat savings. Chelsea was used to getting financial help from her family. To Chelsea, she did not see the point of spending her own money when she could use her family’s. So long as Jessica was around, Chelsea could forget getting a dime out of Hank. Pursing her lips, Chelsea was without a word. Meanwhile, at the Stones’ residence, Serenity held Sonny’s hand as they walked into a grand living room. “You’re here, Sonny. Come, come to your grandaunt.” All smiles, Mrs. Stone got up to welcome Sonny. After finding out that Mrs. Stone was his grandaunt and meeting a few times, Sonny was happy to let Mrs. Stone hold him now. “Aunt Audrey.” Serenity handed two bags of fruits she bought
Married at First Sight Chapter 926
While carrying Sonny with one hand, Mrs. Stone held Serenity’s hand and glanced at it. Distressed and helpless, she said, “Since Zachary confessed his identity, you’ve always stopped me from standing up for you. You didn’t come to me and pour out your feelings either. I’m so worried that my hair has turned gray. You and your sister are always this stubborn.“I remember that your mom has a good temper and isn’t stubborn at all. I wonder whom you take after with your stubbornness.Serenity laughed and asked, “Didn’t you say my sister and I take after you in temper?”Mrs. Stone choked. She recalled that she admired Serenity and her sister not just because of their kinship, but also because of the way the two of them conducted themselves.Indeed, Serenity took after Mrs. Stone in stubbornness.“Now that you came over today, what help do you need from me?”Ever since Zachary confessed his identity, all Elisa felt was anger. Even so, she did not fall out with Serenity. She took pity on
Married at First Sight Chapter 927
Deep down, Serenity wondered who else she could spend the rest of her life with apart from Zachary.That domineering man would panic if she mentioned that she wanted to break up.Since she could not split with him, she could only try to blend in with his circle.“Lately, I’ve received quite a number of invitations. I haven’t taken a look at them. They shouldn’t be of importance. The butler did not deliberately remind me.”Mrs. Stone added, “Since you want to tag along to accumulate your experience, I’ll let you join every social gathering with me.”As she was speaking, she ordered someone to hand her the invitation cards.After looking at all the invitations, she passed them to Serenity. “Seren, please sort these cards based on the dates, in ascending order. I’ll then describe to you the organizers of each social gathering, what businesses they are doing, how they became wealthy, their family members, and their personalities.“When you get along with other people, it’s crucial t

“I’m sorry. I have a business appointment tonight.”Tati rejected Manny’s invitation without hesitation. Manny had been pursuing her relentlessly. If she were to have a meal with him, the paparazzi stalking them would take pictures and she would be on the local entertainment headlines the next day. She would not give Manny any chances to advertise false information about their relationship. Manny looked disappointed. “Another day then.“By the way, you’ll be attending a banquet two days later, right? Can I be your escort?”Tati and Isabella would not attend just any banquet. Families who could invite them were wealthy and close to the O’Connors. Ordinary banquets could never have Tati and Isabella as guests. Manny had gathered information for two days. He heard that one of the wealthy families in Satbury would be holding a banquet to celebrate their old missus’s eightieth birthday, and many guests were invited to liven up the celebration. A missus of that family was clos

“My family isn’t inferior to yours, sweet Tati. The Longbottoms even surpass the O’Connors. As a young master of the Longbottoms, why will I go after your family’s money?“Money has never been a problem for the Longbottom family. In fact, you and I are the best match for each other. Our families are equally rich. If we get together, it’ll be a joining of two strong forces.”Tati wanted to say that while the Longbottom family surpassed the O’Connors, Manny was not the true person in power within his family. Even his father was not the legitimate head. The power and wealth of the Longbottom family belonged to the true head of the family. Tony and Manny Longbottom were simply managing the family in the interim. Did they think the family had become theirs?If the son of the previous Longbottom family head grew up and returned to take charge of the family, Tony and Manny would no longer have any influence. They would only receive some compensation for their hard work. Without the L

Tati looked toward Manny and said in a serious tone, “If you love someone, you’d be considerate of her and do what’s best for her.“Meanwhile, you’re disregarding any inconvenience this might cause me just to appear romantic. You know I’m busy, yet you put flowers here and blocked my way, wasting my time.“Do your actions truly reflect your love for me? Are you being considerate of me?”Tati would not have said a word if Manny had asked his people to place the flowers in an empty spot. However, he just had to do it at the entrance of the company, attracting many people. Her company security team could not even chase them away. They knew Manny’s identity and that he was pursuing her. If the security chased him away, the Longbottom and O’Connor families could end up enemies. Secondly, they were worried about getting fired if Tati were to accept Manny’s feelings one day and decide to punish them. Tati would not blame the security for failing to execute their duty. After Manny s

“It’s okay if you don’t want my bouquets. Can you feel my sincere love for you through these letters?“I fell in love with you at first sight, and I fell even harder the second time I saw you.”Manny’s gaze was affectionate as if he truly loved Tati. To be honest, Tati was outstanding in various aspects. She was good enough for him, a young master of the Longbottoms. They were also close in age and definitely had common topics to talk about. However, Tati refused to give him a chance and rejected his confession. That did not matter. After all, it had not been long since he started pursuing Tati. As the O’Connors had more daughters than sons, he could understand that their daughters would be especially cautious regarding romantic relationships. They did not want men dating them solely for the O’Connor family’s money. Although that had been Manny’s initial intention, he was satisfied with Tati after meeting her in person. He was willing to marry her. Besides, Tati was com

Meanwhile, in Satbury, Tati returned to the company but was forced to stop her car at the entrance. Some people were decorating the entrance with flowers. Security tried to chase them away, but they did not even budge. The security guards seemed wary of something and did not force those people to leave. A few cars were parked nearby, including a truck that still carried fresh flowers.Tati did not honk. There were people and flowers on the road before her and honking was useless anyway, or she could simply drive past without a care. She got out of the car to have a look. “Sweet Tati.”An unfamiliar voice rang. Tati looked toward the person who called her and frowned. She recognized that person. He was Manny Longbottom, the eldest son of the interim head of the family.Mr. Longbottom had come over several times for business negotiations. However, it was not yet his scheduled timing. Even if he were the Longbottom family’s interim head, there would be no special treatmen

First, Adrian poured himself a glass of water. He then sat down at his desk, pulled out his phone, and made a call to Jacob while sipping his water.When the call connected, he spoke in a low voice, “We’re going ahead with the plan. Caroline will be heading to Fortress Hotel later to meet with a client. After the meeting, she’ll have dinner there.“The discussion and dinner will take a long time. By the time she leaves the hotel, it’ll already be nighttime. She probably won’t go anywhere else after that.“Wait for her on the route she usually takes home. Her license plate is CA 201. Got it?”Adrian made sure Jacob remembered Caroline’s license plate number. He had also sent the information via text, so unless the person had an exceptionally bad memory, they should be able to recall it.Jacob replied, “Got it. We’ll have to start preparing, then. Try to get Caroline to drink some alcohol. If she’s drunk, it’ll be easier to handle her.”After all, they could not guarantee that the

Adrian snapped, “Are you saying that I don’t do real work? Caroline, I was working at Fisher Enterprise long before we even knew you existed.”Caroline said neutrally, “Yes, yes, Adrian, you’ve been at Fisher Enterprise for a long time, but what achievements have you made? I mean, achievements that you accomplished on your own.“The results credited to you in the past weren’t actually your doing. You know better than anyone how they came about, so I won’t spell it out. I may have joined Fisher Enterprise only recently, but look at the position I’m in now.“Adrian, I’ve made it very clear. If you want to keep your job, do it well and take it seriously. Stop trying to take credit for other people’s work.”Adrian’s expression darkened. “I only said a couple of things, and you fired back with dozens. Can’t you give me some grace? I have pride, too.”“Adrian, go back to work. I need to get ready to head out soon.” Caroline was done talking to her brother.Adrian fell silent for a mo

Adrian was sullenly quiet. Was he really that incompetent? He thought he had done a pretty good job.Back when their mother was still around, he had not even needed to lift a finger. He just had to vaguely outline the requirements, and the elite team under him would come up with a proposal that satisfied everyone upstairs.All he had to do was wait for the praise and the compliments about how capable he was.After doing this for so long, Adrian had started to believe that he truly was talented.Then, he found out that Celine was not his biological sister and that Caroline was, but the latter had grown up in the countryside, appearing weak and timid, and seemed useless to the company—a good-for-nothing. Thus, Adrian began to harbor ambitions. He wanted to replace his sister and become the successor of the Fisher family.He had repeatedly expressed to his mother his desire to take over, to become the first male successor in the Fisher family’s history. He even said he was willing

Adrian tried several times to interrupt his sister, but Caroline’s barrage came at him like a machine gun, rapid and relentless. All he could do was glare at her, his face flush with anger. If looks could kill, Caroline would have been torn to pieces long ago.After finishing her lecture, Caroline picked up her cup and took a few sips of her coffee. She then said, “Adrian, look at me, I’m parched from all this talking. I’ve really gone out of my way to persuade you for your own good, just like how you tried to persuade me not to hand over control of the Fisher family. “To be honest, even if I didn’t give it back to Audrey and the rest, do you think I could hold onto the position of the matriarch?“The rest of the family doesn’t support us. They might not necessarily side with the Wiltspoonians either, but they definitely won’t side with us. They’ve long been dissatisfied with Mom and us.“Without their support and unable to win against Audrey, the Fisher legacy would eventually be
