Chelsea called her brother.“I’m on my way there, Chelsea.”Hank knew that his parents and sister’s family had arrived at his place and he quickly got up. He also woke Jessica. After the two of them briefly freshened up, they rushed toward Bright Boulevard.“Hank, we haven’t had breakfast.”“I’ll treat you guys to breakfast when I go over.”Chelsea said, “Aren’t you living with Jessica? Can’t you ask her to prepare breakfast for us? There are so many of us. If we go out to eat, it’ll easily cost several hundred.”“We’re also staying in a hotel now since we haven’t had time to look for a place. There’s nothing in my house now, so there’s no way to cook for ourselves.”Liberty recovered the renovation fees in her own way. There was currently no water or electricity in Hank’s house. Even the kitchen was empty. Jessica could not cook for them even if she was willing to.Chelsea was silent for a moment and said, “Liberty blocked all of us. How are you going to contact her? We won’t

Grandma May said to herself, “Should I start with the second or third grandson?”Zachary did not speak, lest his nana told his brothers and cousins that it was him who stirred up trouble.“Let’s just start with Callum. Who should I match him with?”Zachary remained silent.He only knew a handful of young ladies. Rather than asking him to provide Callum with a wife candidate, it would be easier to tell Callum to go to the monastery to become a monk.Well, it was not like Grandma May expected Zachary to provide candidates either.“Go in.”Zachary looked at his nana, puzzled.Grandma May looked disgruntled. “You’re going on a business trip. Hurry in to say a few words to Serenity.”She had to remind him to do everything.Grandma May sighed and thought, ‘When I was bringing up this grandson of mine, I taught him everything except how to love someone. Now, he has become a chauvinist who doesn’t understand the mind of a woman.‘I thought loving someone was human nature and didn’t

After breakfast, Zachary transferred fifty thousand to Serenity.Serenity saw the transaction and said, “I’m not short of money.”There was sufficient money in the household card he gave her.“I’ll be away from home on business and don’t know when I’ll be back. The new year is around the corner so you’ll have to buy some stuff to ring the old year out. I wired fifty thousand to you so you can get whatever you want.“On the 28th, we’ll return to my hometown for the New Year’s. There are a lot of relatives, so we’ll need to deliver an abundance of gifts. Ask Nana what to give and buy them in advance. Tell me if fifty thousand isn’t enough and I’ll transfer more to you.”Zachary’s reason was indisputable. Upon hearing his explanation, Serenity had to accept the fifty thousand.After so long, this was the first time he mentioned bringing her along to go back to his hometown.In the past, whenever she met his parents, it was always him who informed his parents and relatives to come o

Tilting her head for a moment, Serenity helplessly wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled his head down, and offered him her red lips.Zachary was elated after getting a kiss from his wife which she initiated. He pulled the suitcase with one hand and held Serenity’s hand with the other, and the couple went out together.Grandma May was downstairs waiting for the young couple.Jim was chatting with the old woman.He was recognized by Serenity on the day Liberty moved out and said that he would do anything as long as he was paid. Thus, he did not panic when he saw Serenity now.He felt like he could finally live out in the open.“Mr. York and Ms. Hunt.Jim took the initiative to greet them.Serenity returned his smile and asked, “What is your name, mister? I forgot to ask for your name card that day.”Jim darted a glance at Zachary and saw his boss’s expression remained unchanged before he boldly replied, “My name is Jim.”Then, he fished out a small slip of paper from his pa

After hanging up the phone, Zachary instructed Jim, “Protect the missus while I’m away during this period.”“Don’t worry, Mr. Zachary. We’ll protect the missus well.”Serenity was skilled in the arts of self-defense, so it was easy peasy to protect her.Double the bonus!Jim was happy just thinking about it.This was the benefit of building connections with Serenity!“If Serenity needs help or encounters difficulties, tell Nana. She’ll arrange everything properly. Alternatively, you can tell Callum as well.”“Don’t worry, Mr. Zachary. If the missus faces any problems, Old Mrs. York will definitely hear about it.”Grandma May was seemingly omnipotent. Her grandsons could not hold a candle to her.Zachary thought of his nana’s capability and did not speak again.What surprised him was that for the first time in a while, he saw Elisa standing at the entrance of the company again.She was leaning on her red sports car, watching his team slowly approaching.The driver remarked,

Elisa smiled and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She looked away and stared into the distance for a while before turning back. She then faced Zachary with a solemn expression, “Zachary, after hearing those words from you, I think it’s all worth it. My infatuation with you over the years was not in vain.”She graciously extended her hand toward Zachary, who mirrored her action in the same manner, and they shook hands.“Zachary, I wish you and your wife a long life of happiness.”“Thank you, Ms. Stone.”“I hope I will have the honor of attending your wedding in the future.”Zachary retracted his hand and said warmly, “When my wife and I have chosen a date to hold a wedding, I’ll definitely send an invitation to Mr. Stone and you.”“I’ll be waiting for your invitation, then.”Elisa smiled. “You must be a busy man. I won’t take up more of your precious time than I already have. Goodbye, Zachary.”She waved at him before turning back toward her sp

“Yes, my Elisa has her pride. It’s not like no one else wants to marry my daughter.”Audrey still knew her daughter best.If Elisa said she would give up, then she would stay true to her words.The sound of a car was heard coming from outside.Alice stood up and while walking out of the house, she said, “That must be Elisa.”There was her sister-in-law in sight.Elisa got out of the car and walked toward her sister-in-law, showing a bright smile. “Alice, Mom is still at home, right?”Alice’s heart ached when she saw her sister-in-law smiling so radiantly. She would rather Elisa cry her heart out than smile like that. Heavens knew it only meant that the brighter Elisa smiled, the deeper the pain in her heart.She sighed.It was painful enough to fall in love with a man she should not fall in love with, and it was even more painful to know that the man had just gotten married.“Mom is still at home. Elisa, are you okay?”“Do I look like I’m not okay? Don’t worry, Alice. I’m gr

Serenity said with a smile, “Elisa mentioned that Mr. Bucham is from a family that deals with intelligence. If you get together with him, you’ll have first-hand accounts of all sorts of drama. You like it when it’s lively, so I feel like he’s born for you. You two are a great match.”Jasmine was speechless.Was she getting a boyfriend to get married with or to gossip?“You mentioned that your sister’s ex-mother-in-law called you again?”Jasmine hurriedly changed the topic.She did not want her best friend to gossip about her.“My sister divorced that scumbag and moved out, so they naturally couldn’t wait to move in. However, they can only rent a house, stay in a hotel, or go back home now. With my knowledge of their family, they would definitely stay in the city for the New Year’s instead of going home.”The Brown family must have spread the word in their hometown that the family would be going to the city for New Year’s.Thus, even if there was no house to live in, the family

”Old Mr. Hunt, you clearly received sixty thousand from me. I gave it to you in cash. That was my private funds which I saved for a long time. You took the money and said you would convince Serenity, but you failed. My son still ended up divorcing Liberty.“Please hurry up and return the money to me, or I’ll call the police.”When the old man refused to admit he took the money, Olivia was so angry that her face turned scarlet.Old Mr. Hunt said with a cold face, “If you want to call the police, then be my guest. I’m not afraid. I already said that I didn’t take your money, but so what if I did? Take it as making up for the betrothal gift that you failed to give us when your son married my granddaughter.“You’re having it easy by paying just tens of thousands for the betrothal gift. You have a daughter yourself too. When your daughter got married, were you willing to give your daughter away to your son-in-law’s family without receiving a single penny in return?”Olivia said furious

Several luxury cars came from far, passed by the main entrance of Wiltspoon School, and stopped in front of Serenity’s bookstore.Grandma May, who was chatting with Mr. Charles from next door, hurriedly turned away when she saw the luxury cars. She deliberately hung her head low, afraid that the people who got down from the cars would see her.“Serenity, Serenity.”When Elisa got out of the car, she shouted Serenity’s name while jogging into the store.She did not notice the old lady sitting in front of the store next door.Darrell got out of the car, holding a crying Audrey, and followed their daughter into the store. Alice ordered the bodyguards to guard the entrance before she turned around and entered the store as well.Serenity was halfway through weaving an eagle with its wings spread when she heard Elisa’s cry. She stopped her movements and looked up at Elisa.“Elisa, you’re here. Have you eaten? If you haven’t...”Then, she saw Audrey, who was accompanied by Darrell nex
