Duncan stared at Lily in silence. After some time, he said calmly, “This is your decision, Ms. Harmon. You can do as you wish, but I won’t reciprocate or accept your feelings just because of this.”He knew that Lily’s feelings for him had not extended to one of love. Therefore, she could remain alert and rational when facing his reply. She even accepted the fact that she lost to Liberty calmly. However, he still made things clear beforehand. No matter what Lily did, Duncan would never accept her. He did not have a big heart. It was only enough for one person. The woman who entered his heart first would be kept there forever. Duncan would feel happy if he could marry the person he loved. If he could not marry her, he would not forget her and store his feelings for her in the depths of his heart. Lily smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Duncan. I won’t expect you to repay me or accept my feelings for this. We’re all adults. We have to face the consequences of all the decisions we

‘How did Serenity conquer such a cold, arrogant man?’ Chelsea criticized inwardly. She would not be able to bear spending time with a man like that. He was too cold!She did not dare look at Zachary anymore. Instead, she smiled and said to Serenity, “Serenity, can I have a few words with you in private?”Serenity asked Chelsea, “What is it that you can’t say right now?”Chelsea took a quick glance at Zachary, then Serenity. Indeed, Serenity was more pleasing to the eye. Chelsea used to treat Serenity meanly and instigate her brother to quarrel with Liberty. It was an indirect way of forcing Serenity to move out. Firstly, it was because she wanted to make space for her children. She had planned to send her children to the middle school in the city. Secondly, Chelsea was jealous of Serenity’s youth and beauty. Liberty was beautiful before she married too. However, she did not bother maintaining it and bloated up like a ball. Her beauty before her marriage was gone. Serenity was

Chelsea did not know what was good about Jessica that bewitched her brother. His son almost got into an accident because of Jessica. His ex-wife was injured too. However, he was still partial to Jessica. Chelsea was greatly dissatisfied with her brother. She felt guilty too.It would have been nice if her brother and Liberty were not divorced. Chelsea made mistakes in the past and was trying to correct them for her brother and Liberty to remarry. “Just be straightforward, Chelsea. There’s no need to beat around the bush. I don’t like talking to people who go in circles, wanting me to guess their thoughts.”Serenity could more or less guess Chelsea’s intentions from her expression. The Browns simply wanted Hank and her sister to remarry. It was ridiculous. What did they take her sister for to be at their beck and call?The Browns would never have regretted it if Hank had not been in a dire situation.“Serenity, I like your frankness. I’ll be honest. Is Mr. Lewis pursui

“Hank’s still thinking of begging for mercy for Jessica’s sake, and his heart is on Jessica. He might’ve felt regret, but he would never mourn divorcing my sister. My sister doesn’t regret divorcing him too. Chelsea, I advise you not to look for my sister or me for this matter anymore.”After speaking, Serenity did not give Chelsea a chance to talk and left her behind. She walked toward Zachary, who was waiting for her at the door of the ward, without turning her head back. Zachary could not hear their conversation. When he saw his beloved wife’s dark expression, he knew that the chat did not go well. “Seren, should we make her leave?”“Not this time,” Serenity replied. Then, she told the bodyguards, “If the Browns come again in the future, chase them away. Don’t let them see my sister or Sonny before my sister recovers.”After recovering, Liberty would continue running All You Can Eat and be back in business. She would not be able to keep the Browns out. That family was shamele

Upon exiting the inpatient department and getting into Zachary’s car, Serenity took her phone and removed her granddad’s number from her list of blocked contacts. Next, she called him. She rarely got in touch with her extended family ever since she solved the problem of her old house. After experiencing Serenity’s ferocity first-hand, her extended family, who had always been aiming to gain benefits through her, ceased to take advantage of her anymore. They had numbers, but all the people around Serenity were wealthy and powerful—they stood no chance. Additionally, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were hurt by their children’s and grandchildren’s attitudes toward their elderly care. They suddenly did not want to make a fuss anymore. In the past, Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt treated Serenity and Liberty heartlessly. They took so much of the sisters’ compensation and used it all to support their other children. It was so that their children would have money to start a family. Every family ended u

Serenity’s words pleased Old Mr. Hunt because she was willing to come to them for help when she had a problem. “My sister got into an accident and was injured.”“What accident? How’s her injury? How did she get hurt? Did it happen a week ago? Mike and John had asked whether you contacted me during those few days. They refused to say anything when I asked them what they wanted.”Old Mr. Hunt never paid attention to the internet, so he did not know Liberty was injured. The younger generation in the family knew, but no one told Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt. People of the town did not talk about it either. They thought things were awkward between the Hunt sisters and their grandparents. If Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were to know that Liberty was hurt, they probably would be delighted. Therefore, no one in the town informed him. “It happened a week ago. Liberty is recovering well, but her previous in-laws keep pestering her. They want her to remarry her ex-husband. However, my sister was hurt

After ending the call with her granddad, Serenity held the phone in her hand and said to Zachary, “I got external help to go against the Browns and return my sister peace according to your suggestion, but I don’t know how things will turn out.”“We’ll find out after some time. I think the effect will be great.”Zachary was confident in his idea. “Seren, you don’t have to be so worried. We should think now about what dress and jewelry you’ll wear tonight.”Serenity glanced at him. “You sound like you want to steal everyone’s attention away from Mr. Bucham.”Zachary said smugly, “I don’t even have to steal. I’m in the limelight in every venue I appear in, and I make Josh pale in comparison.”Serenity was speechless. He was confident that he could beat Josh, but she had no intentions of taking the spotlight away from her best friend. She smiled and said, “My dresses are the ones you or Aunt Audrey bought. I’ve only worn the dresses I purchased several times. Will I have the cha

Serenity had not been able to sleep well for several consecutive days after Liberty mentioned that to her. Every time she woke up with a start at midnight, she would surreptitiously grope her way to Liberty’s bed. She would stretch out her hand to check Liberty’s breathing. Not until she confirmed that Liberty was still alive would she feel at ease.Having lost both her parents at a young age, Serenity experienced the pain of losing her loved ones. Therefore, she feared losing her only sister.“Let’s go. I’m taking you upstairs to get changed.”The Yorks and the Buchams were on friendly terms. Now that Josh got engaged, Tania would certainly do the Buchams the honor of attending Josh’s engagement party. What was more, Tania’s relatives and the Buchams had close relationships. Tania’s relatives would also make an appearance tonight.Serenity rose to her feet gently and walked upstairs with Tania.Soon, Serenity had changed into a gown. She put on light makeup and a pair of high hee
