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
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
Grandma May had mentioned that even though Elisa had a similar social status to Zachary, she was not suitable to be the wife of the York family’s head. “Let’s eat at a hotel. You still have a business engagement. We don’t have to travel a long distance back home.”“It’s up to you.”Serenity smiled. Although her relationship with Zachary was not dramatic, he started respecting her and prioritizing her wishes more. Their days were ordinary yet fulfilling and sweet. Zachary often said he still wanted to be with her in another life. Serenity got greedy too. She also thought of marrying him and being husband and wife again in their next lifetime. …While in the Lewis family’s house, Mrs. Lewis put down her phone with a grim expression. Although Mr. Lewis sat opposite her and was holding a newspaper, he had been paying attention to his wife’s expression. He heard the conversation between his wife and their youngest son too. “What happened again? You look awful. You’ve been
Derek said, “I disagree too, but what can I do? That’s Duncan’s decision. He has always disobeyed us.”“Well, do you think Liberty will let Serenity know that I talked to her?” Mrs. Lewis suddenly asked. “Why did you go and meet Liberty? Didn’t you say Liberty isn’t interested in our son at all? The problem lies with our son.”After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lewis replied, “I know the problem doesn’t lie with Liberty, but Duncan refused to listen to us. He’s very stubborn. I had no choice but to deal with it by approaching Liberty. I wanted to advise Liberty to cancel her tenancy agreement and move her breakfast place somewhere else so she can stay away from Duncan.“In the future, if Duncan visits the Yorks, tell Liberty not to visit the Yorks to prevent the two of them from meeting each other.“That said, it’ll be great if Liberty is willing to leave Wiltspoon and live in a place that Duncan is unaware of. I’m ready to pay her a hefty sum as long as she doesn’t meet Duncan.”M
Worried that his wife would screw things up, Derek had no choice but to meet Liberty with his wife since he could not stop her.In order to continue talking his wife out of meeting Liberty, Derek asked his chauffeur to drive.The couple was seated in the back. Along the journey, Derek kept advising his wife. He said, “If Duncan finds out that you go and meet Liberty, he’ll surely have a row with you. This will affect your relationship with him.“If Serenity finds out, it means Zachary will too. You know full well how much he protects and pampers his wife. Liberty is his sister-in-law. Forcing Liberty to leave Wiltspoon will stir up a hornet’s nest and greatly damage the relationship between the Lewises and the Yorks.” Mrs. Lewis tilted her head and glared at her husband before she said, “I’m just going to have a talk with Liberty. I’m not forcing her to leave Wiltspoon either. Why are you nagging at me non-stop? You’re annoying.“The Lewises and the Yorks are family friends. S
After moving closer, Liberty got a better sight of Jessica.Jessica had thinned down a lot. She had a dull complexion and was dressed in loose clothes. Only those who were sharp-eyed could tell that she was pregnant.“Let’s go, Hank,” Jessica said to her husband.Currently, she disliked seeing Hank being close to Sonny. She was afraid that if they got very close, Hank would not take care of her child wholeheartedly.Regardless of whether she gave birth to a son or daughter, the Browns would surely be biased toward Sonny.Jessica had to continue serving her sentence in the future, so she would not be able to watch her child grow. If her child turned out to be a girl who failed to please the family, who would know how much the child would suffer when Jessica was not by her side? Therefore, Hank was the child’s support.Sonny was a lot more fortunate than Jessica’s child.With so many people loving and supporting Sonny, there was no need to worry that he would suffer. “Sonny, w
“Dunc.”Sonny’s mannerism toward Duncan and his father, Hank, was the same.Once Sonny saw Duncan, he shook off Liberty’s hand and scurried toward Duncan.Hank’s expression became graver.His parents and elder sister had always nagged him, telling him that Liberty had a pursuer. If he was not going to divorce Jessica and go after Liberty again, Sonny’s father would be someone else.Duncan would most likely become Sonny’s new father.Hank knew full well that Liberty would not accept him anymore. As for Jessica, he still had feelings for her. He also felt sorry for her.He hurt two women because of his unfaithfulness. Liberty was already divorced from Hank and had started her life anew. She was leading a wonderful life. He did not want to hurt Jessica again, especially by divorcing her when she was in jail. If he did that, she would be homeless after she was released.Ever since Jessica was arrested, her brother and sister-in-law had established boundaries with her.Although h
