“Wait, even if you saw Serenity eating with another man and giving him food, who was he? Did you check properly? What if he’s a relative?”Zachary’s face was gloomy. “Shawn Lowe.”“Who’s Shawn? Oh, I know. He’s the son of Mr. Lowe from Lowe Enterprise. He’s working in Lowe Enterprise now to build experience... Let me think. The maiden name of Shawn’s mother is Sox, and your wife’s best friend’s last name is also Sox.”Zachary said directly, “Shawn is Jasmine Sox’s cousin.”“Yes yes yes, they’re cousins. Serenity and Jasmine are best friends, so she must have known Shawn for a long time. She’s a few years older than Shawn, right? Maybe she just thinks of him as a younger brother.”“They don’t have any blood relation at all. Even if she thinks of him as a brother, he’s not her brother!”Josh choked. ‘Yeah, even if she says she only thinks of him as a brother, they’re not connected by blood, so there’s no way he can be her brother.’After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Shawn i

‘Could Josh be right? Am I really jealous?‘How can that be?’Zachary sat down in the black swivel chair and took out his phone again. He was lost in thoughts for a long time. Then, he decided to put his ego aside and reply to Serenity’s message. When he opened WhatsApp, he recalled that he deleted her from his contacts.Fortunately, he still remembered her phone number.After another few moments of deliberation, he finally mustered the courage to call her.“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available.”Zachary was speechless.‘Did Serenity turn off her phone?‘Or did she block me?’He immediately used the landline to call her. It rang, but he hung up before she could answer. That was because he was now sure that she blocked his cell phone number.Zachary, who put down his ego and wanted to mend his relationship with his wife, was immediately sent back to square one after Serenity blocked his number.‘I deleted her first, and she blocked me in return. Fine, we’re even

The driver turned his head to look at Zachary in the backseat. When he saw Zachary’s cold expression, he quickly turned his head around and eyes back on the road. He was careful with the speed of the car, following the missus’ car from a decent distance.Jim thought of the most important question and turned to ask Zachary, “Mr. Zachary, where are you returning tonight?”‘Mr. Zachary stayed in Regent Residences yesterday, but he’s following Missus today. Is he going back to Brynfield?’Zachary was silent.After a while, he said, “Go back to Regent Residences, but...”He looked at the familiar car in front of him without saying a word.They silently escorted Serenity’s car back to Brynfield before he returned to his villa.Jim was a smart man and instantly saw through Zachary’s thoughts, so he told the driver the details.Serenity knew that there was a car following her, which was Zachary’s, but Wiltspoon was a big city so there were many cars on the road even late at night. Howe

They then waited until late at night when there were only a few cars on the road. They waited by the road for Serenity to pass by and stop her car.“How much money she spent has nothing to do with me. Back then, when she used money to cut off our ties as grandparents and grandchildren, she said we neither had to take care of her when she was alive nor bury her when she died. You weren’t old enough to remember that. If you don’t know what happened that year, look back at the online post I made or ask your parents about it.“However, your parents probably won’t admit it. The money the Hunt family is spending was the compensation money my parents gave with their lives. Otherwise, how could they live such happy lives now?”Serenity’s expression was icy cold as she retorted to Noah.“I don’t care. Get out of the car. I’ll give you until the count of three. If you don’t get out, I’ll smash your car.”Noah was extremely arrogant since he had numbers on his side.The punks he brought wit

Noah miscalculated. He chose the wrong place.This was near a traffic light intersection, so there was surveillance everywhere.It was true that they started the fight and Serenity was only acting in self-defense.Noah thought it would be easy to deal with Serenity if he came with a group of seven or eight men as she was a weak woman. Unexpectedly, she knew how to fight. His family never told him that she knew the art of self-defense.“What do you want?”Noah tried to save his ear, but Serenity pulled harder. He screamed in pain and cursed, “Let go! My parents won’t forgive you if you rip my ear off!”“Call me Sis.”“Bah! You’re not my sister.”“Yeah, I’m not your sister. I don’t have a cousin like you.”Serenity tugged harder, and Noah wailed in pain. His companions had long been frightened by her fighting skills when they were defeated by her. Seeing her abusing Noah’s ear, they quietly retreated.“Stop right there, all of you!” Serenity’s bellow made the punks freeze in th

“Yeah, I’m cold-hearted and ruthless, but are you righteous and loyal? You didn’t know how your parents and the others treated me before, but do you still not know now? Do you think I’ll let it go just because it’s in the past? I’ll never forget what they did to me for the rest of my life!”Noah opened his mouth, but he was unable to refute it.In the end, he stood up, turned around, and ran.Serenity went after him and swept him to the ground with a single kick. Then, she grabbed his shirt roughly and dragged him back, causing him to scream in pain again as his skin grazed the ground.After throwing him at the group of punks, she warned them, “I advise you to stay here obediently and wait for the police to rescue you. If anyone dares to run, don’t blame me for being impolite.”The punks were frightened by Serenity’s ferocity. No one dared to run again.Noah kept cursing at Serenity, and she warned him with a dark expression, “One more word out of you and I’ll beat you till your

When Serenity got home, it was already one in the morning.The house was dark when she pushed the door open. Either Zachary did not come back, or he was in his room.Serenity silently closed the door, locked it, and turned on the lights in the hall. After a minute of silence, she went to Zachary’s room. She was just about to raise her hand to knock on the door before she remembered that it was already late at night, and Nana had mentioned that Zachary would be furious if he was awakened before his natural body clock woke him up.She dismissed the idea of knocking on the door.So what if he was at home?They were having a cold war.She finally turned around and went into her room.The night passed without a word.The next morning, Serenity was catching up on her sleep because she went to bed too late last night. Zachary, who went back to Regent Residences, woke up as usual. He changed into sportswear and prepared to go out for a morning run.When he went downstairs, Sam told hi

“What did Serenity do to keep you from going back to Brynfield?”“Nothing.”“Zack, I watched you grow up. In this family, the person who knows you best is me. If nothing happened between you two, you wouldn’t have come back here to stay. What exactly did Serenity do? It’s fine even if you don’t want to tell me. I can find out when I go to her shop later and ask her.”Zachary stopped and looked at his grandmother, feeling a little angry. “Nana, we agreed that you won’t interfere in anything after I get married to Serenity.”“I’m not interfering. I’m just concerned and want to know what happened to you two. You’re proud and egotistical, but you pretend to be poor and marry Serenity. She doesn’t know your true identity at all. Even if you’re wrong, you won’t easily bow your head and apologize. When it has come to this point, you need me to be the mediator to help you ease your frozen relationship.”Old Mrs. York indeed promised Zachary that she would not interfere in the married coup

Old Mrs. York was infuriated at her grandson’s behavior, so much so she did not want to walk anymore. She sat down on a stone bench by the roadside.She spent so much effort talking her grandson into agreeing to get married, but...Zachary was silent for a moment. He then came over and sat beside his nana. He said calmly, “Nana, you know that love can’t be forced. I was raised by you, and you asked me to marry her to repay your kindness, so I listened to you.“You promised me that you won’t interfere with our married life. The day I got my marriage license with Serenity, I told you that I have to examine her character and see if she’s worthy for me to spend the rest of my life with. Otherwise, we’ll end it in half a year.”Old Mrs. York said grumpily, “With your nasty temper, you wouldn’t admit it even if you fell in love with Serenity.”Zachary was speechless.“Forget it, I’m not angry. I was wrong when I forced you to marry Serenity. You’re right. Love can’t be forced. You can

“I’m outside now. I’m going to your store to have breakfast with you. By the way, you don’t need to get takeouts for breakfast, Seren. I bought three portions. I’ll bring them over to eat with you and Jasmine.”“Sure. Wait for me in the store then. I’ll be right there. But Nana, you don’t have to get up so early in the future. You can sleep in. I won’t be hungry.”“I’m old now and a light sleeper. I wake up as soon as the sun rises, so I’m used to it. I’m not worried about you going hungry. I just like eating with you. Food tastes especially good when it’s with you.”Serenity laughed.For the past few months, she often ate with the old lady.Old Mrs. York knew that many old stores in Wiltspoon serve delicious snacks. She would often take Serenity and Jasmine to eat all these famous and most authentic snacks in Wiltspoon.Serenity and Jasmine both felt that Old Mrs. York was definitely a glutton when she was in her youth.Now that she was old, she could not eat a lot.
