Callum held her hand and continued walking. As they walked, he said, “Trenton still cares about you a lot. He’s still young and inexperienced. Don’t take his words too seriously.”“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t angry or sad,” Camryn said softly. “I care about Trenton the most in that family. I may seem like I have a bad attitude toward him or that I hate him, but I still like this brother of mine a lot in my heart.“He’s different from them. He likes me from the bottom of his heart and truly sees me as his sister. Ever since he started remembering things, he would protect and help me. Whenever Mom hit or scolded me, he would always rush over to push her away and stop her from beating me. “My mom thought Trenton was only so protective of me because I coaxed him into doing so. After that, she stopped me from interacting with him and used every way possible to prevent Trenton and me from spending time together. However, since we lived in the same house, Trenton had always defended m
Callum said gently, “Trenton regrets what he said too. Give him some time, Camryn. He’ll grow up and start to understand you.”Trenton’s parents and sister had gone to jail partly because of Camryn. It was normal for him to find it difficult to accept the truth. After all, he was only seventeen years old. He had not been weathered by society and was not capable of processing so much shock.Camryn did not say a word. Callum accompanied her on a stroll around the garden. Camryn’s mood improved greatly as they walked on the shaded path with the cool breeze caressing them and listened to the passers-by chatting. She felt upset but did not harbor resentment toward her brother. She did not even want to clear up her brother’s misunderstanding and complaint. When suspicion arose and one was devoid of trust in a person, one would not believe the words of another, no matter how much explanation was given. That would be the case unless one was shown effort and their promise was fulfille
Hayden would be elegant and magnificent because she had already built a cold character. Hugh took the elevator to the top floor. After walking out of the elevator and spotting Hayden’s secretary, he whistled. When the secretary turned to look at him, he smiled and greeted the secretary. “Is my brother in the office?” Hugh asked the secretary. The secretary said politely, “Mr. Hayden is in the office. Did you make a call to inform him beforehand, Mr. Hugh?”As they talked, the secretary had already gotten up from the desk and walked to Hugh. If Hugh were to say that he did not inform Hayden beforehand, the secretary would block him outside the office and not allow him to disturb Hayden from his work. “I’m my brother’s biological brother. I can look for him whenever I want. Do I even need to make a call beforehand?”Hugh was pulled back by the secretary just after speaking. “Mr. Hugh, if you didn’t call Mr. Hayden to tell him you’re coming beforehand, please don’t enter the
Hayden raised her head and glared at her brother. Her smile disappeared, and she reached out her hand toward him. “Give it to me.”Hugh quickly passed the document to his sister. “Sis.”Hugh called her. Hayden glared at him again. He stuck his tongue out and changed his way of addressing her. “Bro.”Hugh could not call Hayden his sister in the company. Hayden had been dressing as a man for more than twenty years. Even if her secret were to be exposed in the future, Hugh could not be the one to reveal it. Otherwise, his sister would beat him up. They learned self-defense together. He was not as good at it as his sister was and could never reach her level. Hayden was only born ten minutes earlier than Hugh, but he felt like she had been delivered ten years earlier. “Kevin didn’t lie to you. He was urged to marry by his family. They had been so desperate that he used a business trip as an excuse to escape to Jensburg.”Hugh sounded gleeful. Hayden took out the informatio
Hugh knew that Queen Enterprise and York Corporation would not be rivals. They would have some conflict in the food and beverage sector at most. Therefore, they would attend Zachary’s wedding. “Old Mrs. York had chosen a few candidates for Kevin. I heard he disliked them a lot and put up a lot of resistance. A target had been given to him at the start of the year, but he didn’t even pursue that lady. After Callum got engaged, Kevin was scolded by his family and urged to get married soon. He only escaped to Jensburg because he could not stand his family’s nagging.“Since it’s far, his family can’t possibly come to Jensburg to urge him to get married.”After that, Hugh added, “This must be why he bought a house in Jensburg. He plans to stay in Jensburg long-term and uses it as an excuse to escape people nagging him about marriage.”Hayden raised her head and looked at her brother. She asked, “Do you know whose daughter Grandma May picked for Kevin? He’s opposing it so strongly.”
Hayden gave it some thought and said, “I think Caroline’s not bad.”The Fishers and Queens were compatible in terms of social status. Caroline was the Fisher family’s real daughter too. Although she had been switched at birth by a butler with evil intentions, which caused her to have grown up in the butler’s hometown, she still had the Fishers’ blood in her. Although the Fisher family was not big, they were a reputable and extravagant family. Even if Caroline had grown up in a harsh environment, it could not conceal her natural elegance. A year ago, she was found by her biological parents. The real and fake daughters’ identities were swapped back. However, the fake daughter had been raised in the Fisher family since she was young. She was well-loved by her parents and brothers. Although her biological father was fired and chased out of the Fishers’ house because of the exposed truth, the fake daughter stayed with the Fishers. The Fishers took her in as their goddaughter. Upo
If Caroline were to take over the Fisher family, her husband would have to marry into the family. Hugh did not want to be a live-in son-in-law. Hayden was speechless. She had neglected that point. The husbands of the Fisher household’s leaders had always married into the family instead of the bride joining the groom’s family. …Meanwhile, at the Danielses’ residence, Alvin was sitting on the sofa in the luxurious living room, reading a newspaper with his legs crossed. At that moment, a man clothed in black walked over. He went to Alvin’s side and whispered, “Mr. Alvin, we’ve found out Ms. Jenna’s true reason for secretly going to Wiltspoon.”Alvin continued reading the newspaper. He said indifferently, “What’s the reason?”The man lowered his voice further. He said softly, “Ms. Jenna fell in love with Mr. Zachary York at first sight. She’s trying to break the couple up and replace his wife. On the night you went to Wiltspoon to bring her back, she had gone to Mr. York’s
Alvin’s gaze darkened. After some thought, he whispered, “Find someone who looks similar to Zachary in the country. If you find him, give him some training and arrange for him to meet Jenna. Jenna’s clever, so she’ll know what to do.“If you can’t find someone with similar looks, get someone with a similar build. That’s useful too.”Since Zachary was impenetrable, they would have to start with Serenity. Based on Serenity’s personality, if she were to misunderstand Zachary and thought he cheated on her with a mistress, she would definitely suggest a divorce. Zachary loved his wife as if she was his life. He would refuse to get a divorce. He would not be wronged and investigate the matter thoroughly. By that time, Jenna would get into trouble.If Jenna were unlucky, Uncle Edwin would probably be so angry that he would chase her out of Daniels Group. If so, Daniels Group would belong to him, Alvin. “Okay.”“Do it now. However, you must be cautious and remember not to leave tra
