Their only nephew, Trenton, was still a fledgling. He was not a concern to them at all. The sisters learned from the lawyer that their brother and sister-in-law would be heavily sentenced. Their sister-in-law, in particular, was involved in criminal activities. She could probably be sentenced to jail for ten or twenty years. Their elder brother had killed their younger brother. If the police conducted a thorough investigation, he would be punished gravely to pay for his sins.Since their elder brother and sister-in-law would have to spend the rest of their lives in jail, they could not let the blind Camryn reap all the benefits of the substantial net worth and big businesses raked in by Newman Enterprise. They had to snatch it over and divide it between themselves. Each of them could get 500 million dollars. “Brenda, should we act as witnesses and provide our testimonies when Cain’s trial starts?”Amy thought of Cain’s case and asked about it in a whisper. They did not have evi
Callum accepted the glass of water and took an elegant sip. “Callum.”Camryn faced him and spoke calmly, “I’m not your fiancée!”“Not now, but you’ll be my fiancée and my wife in the future.”Callum said bossily, “Camryn, I’ll marry nobody else but you after setting my mind on you. Whether you escape or accept this, I’ll only take you as my wife.“I know I offended you last time. It was my mistake. It’s understandable that you’re angry at me, but I don’t regret it. I wanted to kiss you because I like you. I wanted to show everyone that you’re my woman.”Camryn was angered by Callum’s bossy tone to the extent she did not want to talk anymore. “Camryn, don’t avoid me anymore.”Callum scooted over and took her bag. “What are you doing, Callum?” Camryn wanted to snatch her bag back. Callum held her down with one hand and raised her bag high with the other. She could not take her bag back because she could not see. “Don’t worry. I just want your phone number.”Callum stood
“From tomorrow onward, I’ll send you flowers daily and officially start courting my fiancée. I’ll let everyone in Wiltspoon know that you, Camryn, are under my protection.”Camryn was speechless.“Let me repeat myself. If you avoid me again, I’ll either move to your flower shop or your house and refuse to leave. Don’t even think about shaking me off unless you don’t want your shop or house anymore.”Camryn had no words. Seeing Camryn being angered to the point she could not talk, Callum was in a good mood. She had made him miserable for more than half a month.He wanted to take his revenge. “It’s late. Go back to your room and rest. I’ll come over and have breakfast with you tomorrow morning. Wait for me to send you to the flower shop. If you don’t…”Callum’s slender finger tapped on her rosy lips again. He really wanted to taste them as he wished. “You’ll face the consequences.”Camryn gritted her teeth. “You’re being a scoundrel, Callum!”“Yes, I’m a scoundrel. You tot
Therefore, Josh pretended to be drunk.“Dear.”With nobody pranking them, they could enjoy their wedding night thoroughly. Josh walked over. He sat at the edge of the bed and embraced Jasmine. His gaze was fiery. “Dear, every minute of the wedding night is precious. Let’s not waste our time.”As Josh spoke, he swooped in for a kiss but was pushed away by Jasmine. “I haven’t removed my makeup or changed my clothes. I still have to shower. You should too.”Jasmine stood up and walked to the dressing table. She removed the pieces of jewelry she wore one by one. “Bejeweled” was the perfect word to describe her that day. The number of jewelry Josh sent her was enough to start a jewelry store. Her family had prepared lots of jewelry for her too. When she showed herself, her neck and hands were adorned with jewelry. The splendor of it was blinding. At that moment, Jasmine felt like she was a mobile jewelry store. “Dear, you look really beautiful today.”Josh approached her
The sun rose. It was a new day. When Serenity woke up, she realized her sister was already awake. After Liberty was discharged, Serenity insisted that Liberty move into her and Zachary’s house to keep an eye on her while she was recuperating. Considering that she had to recuperate and take care of a three-year-old, Liberty agreed to her sister’s request. The mother and son moved into Zachary’s villa on the hilltop temporarily. Liberty brought her son to take a walk in the garden. During that season, Wiltspoon was starting to get hot. Many people could not resist turning on the air conditioner when the sun was up and blazing during the day. However, it was still cooling in the morning. Mornings in the villa were quiet. Liberty liked taking a walk in the garden in the mornings. She could exercise and admire the flowers at the same time. Zachary was not a fan of flowers and plants. In the past, they simply existed to beautify the villa. However, the villa ended up bein
“We won’t be open for a few days because school holidays start today. Liberty, your body hasn’t fully recovered. You should be lying down more.”Serenity put Sonny down. He raced ahead energetically while the sisters strolled behind him. “My bones will grow moldy if I keep lying down. I don’t feel any discomfort now. It’s just some itch and pain from my wound.“I’ll have to return to manage All You Can Eat after Jasmine visits her family.”Serenity and Liberty would be having a meal with the Sox family when Jasmine returned to visit them after their wedding day. After that, Josh would take Jasmine on their honeymoon. He had two months of marriage leave. While the sisters were walking, a maid came over and said respectfully, “Missus, Mr. Lewis is here.”Upon hearing the maid’s words, Serenity looked toward her sister instinctively. Liberty said indifferently, “Seren, whether he comes or not, it has nothing to do with me.”Duncan was holding back when she was still in the
“You didn’t sleep well last night?” Duncan asked his friend out of concern. He saw Zachary coming downstairs with a tense face. Zachary walked over and sat on the single-seated sofa. “Didn’t you get drunk last night?” Zachary returned a question. Duncan smiled. He said, “I only drank two glasses. I didn’t get drunk.”After a pause, he added, “You all have someone taking care of you after getting drunk. I’m single—I have no one to take care of me even if I get wasted, so I didn’t dare to drink so much.”Zachary scoffed. “Ms. Harmon would’ve been happy to take care of you.”With the mention of Lily, the smile on Duncan’s face faded. “Nothing will happen between Lily and I. She has moved out of my house too.”Lily was prepared to leave Wiltspoon. The partnerships she had been negotiating were more or less settled. When Mrs. Lewis started trying harder to get Lily and Duncan together, Lily told her the truth that she had not been wooing Duncan lately. Duncan’s attention was
Duncan saw the calmness in Liberty’s eyes. She truly was not interested in him at all. That knowledge made Duncan feel defeated, but he soon got over it. Liberty had experienced a failed marriage before. Her ex-husband’s family was also pestering her at that moment. She was repulsed by love and marriage as a result. Duncan would need a long time to melt Liberty’s heart and make her believe in love and marriage again. He also gave himself a few years to pursue her and wait for her reply. He was not in a rush anyway. He was willing to keep waiting unless Liberty got married to someone else. “Good morning, Liberty.”Duncan returned Liberty a greeting. Zachary left with Serenity with Sonny in his arms. As he walked, he complained to his wife, “Honey, I was drunk last night and woke up with a headache this morning. I think my headache worsened because I couldn’t see you after opening my eyes.”Serenity hooked his arm and said softly, “I didn’t wake you up because you w
