Josh asked with concern, “Julian, why are you not a normal person?” Julian pursed his lips and answered, “I’m quite close to all of you, and Jasmine and Serenity are experienced in relationships, so I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you. I don’t react to women.” Everyone was lost for words. Serenity and Jasmine were best friends indeed. The shrimps they picked up fell back into their plate at the same time. “Julian, y-you’re making an excuse, right? We won’t rush you to get married, so you don’t need to tell us that and scare me.” Josh thought of his uncle’s hopeful gaze and his aunt’s expectant look. He felt that he had asked something he should not have. His cousin’s words were shocking. It scared him. “Julian, what about men…?” Remy asked probingly. He and Julian were sitting next to each other. Remy had moved his hips discreetly. He was ready to switch seats if Julian said that he was into men. However, who was Julian? Remy’s petty action could not escape
Josh could not throw a talent show for Julian, could he? After peeling a plate full of shrimp for his beloved wife, Zachary removed his disposable gloves and said in a deep voice, “I’ve heard of the disease. “Julian, let nature take its course. How about I introduce my nana’s most trusted fortune teller to you? He can tell if you’re going to be forever alone or will have many children and grandchildren.” Julian asked, “Grandma May’s most trusted psychic? If she trusts the psychic so much, he must be really skilled.” He respected Grandma May very much and believed in what she said. “Julian, let Grandma May’s trusted psychic see if someone can save you, okay?” Josh was impatient. He said to Zachary, “Zachary, call your nana later and ask her to introduce the psychic to my brother.” Serenity wanted to laugh. She tried her best to hold back. Zachary said seriously, “Okay, I’ll call her when I get back.” Julian looked at Zachary with an indescribable look. Zachary calmly
Zachary looked at his younger cousin.Callum immediately pretended as if nothing happened and ate his food.However, his mind was not focused on the food.He originally wanted to go directly to the Newmans’ residence, but he had no choice but to come here since Josh had invited him. Thus, he did not go to the Newman residence but came to his family’s hotel first.Serenity saw Callum’s reaction and figured out what was going on. She turned her head to look at Zachary.Zachary asked her gently, “Are you full, honey?”Serenity hummed.He fed her until she was full.“Stop glaring at Callum.”Serenity whispered while taking out her phone. When she called Camryn’s number, what answered her was a mechanical voice saying, “The number you’ve dialed is unavailable.”Camryn’s phone was turned off.Since she could not see, she did not have messaging apps. It would be hard to contact her if she did not pick up her calls.“Her phone is turned off. Go to her place tomorrow to have a look.
Camryn knew that it was not because the police had found evidence of her uncle harming her father so quickly. It was because of the incident with her mother, as well as the evidence that Mr. York provided, that made it so her uncle could not escape.Out of the evidence that Josh found, most of them pointed to Mrs. Newman on the surface. He suspected that Mr. Newman used his wife as a scapegoat. However, who was Josh Bucham? He managed to find more evidence against Mr. Newman.In the end, Mr. Newman lost his freedom.The incident with Mrs. Newman caused a huge stir in Wiltspoon. After being reported on extensively by the media, not only people in Wiltspoon knew about it; people in other cities who watched the news also learned about the incident.Of course, the people in Newman Enterprise were in the know too.They were wondering who would be in charge of the company after Mr. Newman and his wife went to jail. Who would inherit Newman Enterprise?Mr. Newman’s only son?However, h
“If you want to stay here for a few days to avoid Mr. York, I’ll let my girlfriend know and have her fly over tomorrow to keep you company.”Dalton was a man, so it was inconvenient for him to take care of Camryn.Moreover, since he had decided to be her brother figure, he had to keep a certain distance from her. He would help her with everything, not just with work.After all, she could not see yet.He was the one who helped her set up the video conference in the afternoon.“There’s nothing going on between Mr. Callum and I,” Camryn hurriedly explained herself.Dalton placed some food on her plate and looked at her for a long time before saying, “You were in your first year of middle school when I first met you, and it’s been fourteen years now. I know very well what kind of person you are.“Although you seemed very busy and dedicated during the video conference, I can tell that you’re a little distracted. Your mind starts to wander as soon as you stop talking. I don’t know wha
Camryn fell silent.Dalton said everything that he should say. When he saw her remain silent, he knew that it was because she felt inferior.If it were other men, perhaps Camryn would not feel unworthy just because she was blind. However, it was the second son of the York family they were talking about. The Yorks were the richest family in Wiltspoon, while all of the Newman family’s assets barely broke a billion dollars.Furthermore, some of their assets might be seized. The lawful businesses that they were able to keep in the end might only amount to a few hundred million in assets.It was not comparable to the hundreds of billions that the York family had.Due to her own problems, Camryn developed a sense of inferiority and felt unworthy of Callum.The two finished their meal and took a short rest, then Dalton drove his car and sent Camryn back to the city.When he arrived in the city with Camryn, Callum and the others left the hotel.Callum had a few drinks and did not drive
After getting into the car, Serenity asked her husband, “Are you really going to introduce that psychic to Mr. Bucham?”Zachary adjusted Sonny’s position so that the boy could sleep more comfortably.“Of course. Nana might be asleep now, so I’ll ask her for his contact tomorrow and pass it on to the head of the Bucham family, Walter. Then, he can ask the psychic to read Julian’s fortune.That way, Julian could not run away.If they gave the contact information to Julian, he might just throw it away.“Do you think Mr. Bucham is telling the truth? Does he really have a condition?”Zachary thought about it and said, “It might be true, but it might also be an excuse. The only one who can prove it is the head of the Bucham family.”He believed that Walter had already received the news.There was nowhere for Julian to run.Like Zachary, Julian was a very powerful person. However, no matter how amazing he was, Walter was more powerful. Julian was no match for his father.If the psyc
Zachary’s grandparents’ relationship was remarkable. His grandfather doted on his nana until the end of his life.Julian choked and then hung up the phone.Serenity listened to the conversation between the two men and laughed. “Mr. Bucham’s parents are also pushing him to get married pretty insistently, huh?”“He’s about the same age as Duncan. You’ve seen how anxious Mrs. Lewis is about Duncan’s marriage—that’s how anxious Julian’s parents are. As parents, they probably have the same mentality. They start to grow anxious when their children reach their thirties.Zachary was the same. When he turned thirty, his nana began to push him and made him marry Serenity.In the past, he had many misunderstandings about Serenity.Now, he was thankful for his nana.“I don’t care about other people, but I want my brothers and friends to be happy.”Zachary was not a nosy person.He only cared about the people around him and wanted them to be as happy as he was.Serenity leaned on his shou
