“Camryn.”Callum’s gaze on her red lips was getting more passionate. Camryn could not see, but she could feel the changes in him. His voice became raspier when he called her name. He was thinking of taking advantage of her again. Upon realizing that, Camryn quickly stepped back. She had the huge bouquet of money flowers the bully forcefully gave her. She moved further backward hastily, and she knocked into a flower pot. When Camryn was about to fall, a pair of strong, huge hands rescued her. Callum quickly encircled her waist and pulled her back into his embrace. It felt good when his empty arms surrounded a soft, warm body. Upon regaining her composure, Camryn started resisting. She exclaimed softly, “Let me go, Callum.”There were still employees in her store. The two store assistants and two bodyguards were all watching the street. They did not see what Mr. York had done. “I was saving you, not taking advantage of you,” Callum whispered in Camryn’s ears.

Callum led Camryn to the cashier and made her sit. “I’ll go and cook.”Camryn was stunned. “Are you really cooking?”Her words earlier were said on purpose to make him understand that she was blind and had many inconveniences in her life. If they were to date each other, she would be a burden to him. In a way, she wanted to make him give up on her. “You can try out my cooking.”Callum bent over and whispered in her ear, “There’s a saying that the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach. Why didn’t I think of this?”Camryn said, “Callum, am I really worth this?”“Yes.”Camryn did not say anything more. “You can either show off or disassemble this bouquet, but don’t return the money to me. If not, I’ll get really angry. You’ve experienced the consequences of me getting angry before.”Camryn was speechless again. She was getting increasingly helpless whenever she faced this bully. There was a simple kitchen inside the flower shop. In fact, it was just a table place

With orders barking from Camryn’s eldest cousin, his brothers and cousins immediately took action. They pushed over her flower pots that were placed on the racks. “What are you guys doing?” Camryn got up and questioned them sternly. Mr. Chandler walked over furiously. “What are we doing? Blind woman, don’t blame us for being inhumane when you were also unkind. Guys, continue smashing everything up!“Are you still counting money? You’re still counting your money after blocking our road to riches.”Upon seeing the bouquet of money flowers, Mr. Chandler stretched his hand to snatch the bouquet over without even thinking. However, the bouquet was taken away again in the blink of an eye. It was not Camryn who did it. It was Callum. The Chandlers and Joyners knew Mr. Callum fancied Camryn and was pursuing her passionately. If it were not for Callum’s identity and status, the Joyners and Chandlers would have joined hands and defeated Camryn to the extent she could not live i

After that, Callum placed the money bouquet he had snatched back into Camryn’s arms. He said gently, “Camryn, you can continue counting the money. The food will be ready soon.“You don’t have to mind those people. I’m here. I’ll even hold the sky up if it falls down.”After speaking, Callum glared at Mr. Chandler again. “Don’t you know Camryn is my fiancée? You dared touch my fiancée. How bold of the Chandler family.”Those words were laced with threats. Mr. Chandler’s expression changed. He quickly said, “It’s a misunderstanding, Mr. York. We… We realize our mistakes. We’re Camryn’s cousins. My mom’s her aunt. We’re relatives.”Callum let out a cold hmph. “My Camryn doesn’t want either of your families.”Camryn had a close relationship with her youngest aunt. Her youngest aunt was the one who saved her life. However, Callum did not have the chance to meet Aunt Evelyn, who had rescued Camryn, because she married someone who lived far away.If he had the chance to meet her, he

“Mr. York, we probably don’t have that much cash on us.”Mr. Chandler said, “Can we do it by Apple Pay instead?”“There’s a bank opposite here. You guys must’ve brought your bank cards, right? Just go there and withdraw some cash. Since Camryn said she wanted cash, you guys have to pay her cash.”Under Callum’s stern eye, Edward had no choice but to have his cousin from the Joyner family withdraw twenty thousand dollars from the bank opposite. After that, the cousins fished out all the cash from their wallets and managed to gather 22,800 dollars. “Camryn, this is our compensation.”Mr. Chandler handed a stack of bills to Camryn. Camryn accepted the money and started counting it speedily. After a moment, she said, “The amount is correct. Do you have other business? If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”Those people exchanged glances. In the end, their gazes fell on Edward. He was the eldest amongst them. They treated him as their leader. “Camryn, we’re cousins by

She had been living silently with minimal presence. Even when she spoke occasionally, she was soft-spoken. They did not expect that the most ruthless person would be her. She showed no mercy at all. “As for Mr. Mitchell, I trust him fully. I only work with people I don’t doubt.”Everybody opened their mouths to say something, but nothing came out in the end. They knew their past actions best. Camryn could swiftly gain control of everything in Newman Enterprise with Dalton’s help. Maybe she really had evidence of them earning a side income and embezzling funds. “Camryn… I hope you don’t regret this in the future. Uncle Abel wouldn’t be able to rest in peace if Newman Enterprise were to be passed to someone else when you’re in charge of it.”Edward left those words and said to his brothers, “Let’s go.”Camryn said coldly, “Goodbye. I won’t be seeing you guys off.”The cousins left angrily. After they were gone, Callum instructed the bodyguards and store assistants, “Place
Chapter 1603
Meanwhile, at York Corporation, Zachary had already stopped working. He knew Serenity would come to pick him up from work, so he went downstairs early to wait at the building’s entrance. When he went downstairs, it was time when people got off work too. The employees greeted him respectfully when they saw him. Upon seeing him standing at the entrance, several senior managers thought something had happened. They stopped and asked him, “Mr. York, is something wrong?”“Nothing. I’m waiting for Seren. You can get off work or go to your appointments. Go on.”Everyone was speechless. No wonder Mr. York came downstairs so early. It turned out that Mrs. York was coming. Seren only came after stopping by Spring Blossoms to get flowers. She got stuck in the jam as it was rush hour on her way there. When she reached York Corporation, most employees had already left the company. Upon driving her car into the building, the tall, handsome figure appeared within her sight. There w

Serenity smiled. She did not think her brothers-in-law were playing up to her. She simply thought they respected her as their eldest sister-in-law a lot. She also knew that it was because Zachary loved her. Grandma May adored her too. However, she would not become haughty because of the love she received. “Callum and Camryn are still the same. I think their progress is pretty slow.”Zachary said smugly, “They can’t compare to me. I completed everything in one go.”Serenity turned to glance at him. She mocked him, “Your face was as tight as marble when we got our marriage license back then. I was afraid people would misunderstand that I forced you to register our marriage with a gun.”Zachary was speechless. He had to admit that he did not want to get married back then. He was hoping she would go back on her word. However, it turned out that she was in a rush to get a marriage license. Just like that, both of them registered their marriage. It was primarily because
