Kevin turned and smiled at Hayden. His eyes filled with mischief. “You’re fun when you’re exasperated, Hayden.”Ever since he publicly declared that he would be courting her, her reaction made him find the entire process enjoyable. He would have given up if Hayden did not react at all. He was not interested in logs. Luckily, Hayden was not a log. “Kevin!”A shout suddenly rang from behind. Kevin and Hayden stopped. They turned their heads and looked toward the person calling Kevin. They saw her walking toward Kevin aggressively. When she reached Kevin, she slapped his hand that had been holding Hayden’s. It was Celine. She received news about Kevin hanging banners at Fortress Hotel and declaring his love for Hayden in a high profile. Therefore, she immediately rushed to the scene to find out further. As a result, she saw Kevin forcefully pulling Hayden toward the hotel. However, the man of her dreams dared not do anything to Kevin due to his identity. Celine was fur

The scandal had circulated throughout Jensburg. All the women who had a crush on Hayden were furious at Kevin. They joined forces to go against him, but their families warned them not to offend him. Kevin was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He was a cruel man disguised with a smile. Even if the women joined forces, they would not stand a chance against him. In a luxurious private room was a huge round table that could seat more than ten people. However, only Kevin and Hayden were seated at the table. There were no rare delicacies but only six dishes and a soup served on the table. There were also two bottles of premium wine. The Queen family’s bodyguards were eating in the room next door. Of course, it was Kevin’s treat. Those were the people who were protecting his fiancée. He would not mistreat them. “Try the food, Hayden. I cooked them for you.”Kevin scooped some soup for Hayden. As if asking for a compliment, he said, “I haven’t cooked for someone in a very long tim

“The way you scolded Celine just now would only aggravate the conflict between her and Caroline,” Hayden suddenly said. “The Fisher family may seem peaceful on the outside, but it’s chaotic internally. However, you continued driving a wedge between Celine and Caroline. It’s like you’re wishing for chaos to happen.”Kevin may have been shameless about courting Hayden, but he was well-mannered. He would not get angry at a person easily. Previously on the night of the banquet, he never uttered a curse word even when fighting his love rivals. His love rivals thought Kevin was formidable and could not get angry at him.However, he seemed like a different person when Celine was involved. Kevin chuckled. “They wouldn’t get along even if I didn’t drive a wedge between them. I noticed it on the night of the banquet. Caroline is being isolated by the Fisher family. They’re all on Celine’s side.“Madam Fisher doesn’t seem like she loves her biological daughter a lot. Nevertheless, she ha

“I like this side of you, Hayden. You fight fair and square,” Kevin said with admiration. Hayden spoke indifferently, “There’s always a reason behind losing. One can win after finding out the reason and rectifying it. However, I don’t care about winning or losing. I don’t want to make enemies just because of business.”No one would stay enemies forever in the business industry. However, no one remained friends forever too. Hayden was aware of that. “Didn’t you verify that Mrs. Stone from Wiltspoon is the daughter of the previous matriarch of the Fisher family?”“It’s not confirmed yet, but it’s very likely. Mrs. Stone fits the description of the eldest daughters of the Fisher family being exceptionally outstanding. She may be retired now, but she used to be a powerful figure in the business industry of Wiltspoon before her retirement. “My nana admired her greatly. She said she had taken a liking to Mrs. Stone when Mrs. Stone was young and wanted to take her in as her daught
Chapter 2036
Kevin was still unaware that Hank was no longer in a life-threatening condition. He would not pay attention to a b*stard’s situation anyway. He only knew that the Brown family utterly regretted their decision. “The b*stard’s mother and sister are even thinking of getting him and Liberty to remarry. Liberty isn’t that stupid. Why will she jump into the same trap after barely escaping from it? They’re just feeling regret because her life improved after the divorce.“Although the mistress got married to the b*stard and became his wife, she never gave birth to a child. She was pregnant, but the baby was lost after she had a fall. It’s retribution. I’ve always heard that what goes around comes around and that it’s just a matter of time.“I used to think it was merely a saying. If retribution existed, there wouldn’t be so many people doing bad things. However, I believed in the saying after seeing how the Brown family ended up.”Hank and his family were the fastest examples of retri

Kevin was happy. He said, “You have good taste, Hayden. The York family’s men are all great people. We’re definitely not b*stards. It’s fine that you admire all of us, but I wish you could admire me more.”Hayden looked toward him and asked, “Kevin, was I the candidate your grandmother chose to be your wife?”She had thought of that question for some time. The York family’s actions only made sense if that was the case. Besides, it was strange that Kevin knew that she was a woman so easily. Hayden did not believe Kevin had sharp eyes to recognize her as a woman at first sight. They had not spent much time with each other either. No matter how clever Kevin was, he did not have such discerning eyes. She had disguised herself as a man for over twenty years, and no one ever found out. How could Kevin determine that she was a woman just after meeting her several times?However, it would be possible if Old Mrs. York had noticed it. She was skilled in obtaining intel when she was yo

Hayden stood up. Her smile disappeared, and her expression turned stern. She warned Kevin in a cold voice, “If you dare expose my secret, I’ll never let you off.”Kevin never took her warning to heart at all, but he said, “Why will I leak your secret? If other people were to find out that you’re a woman and fall in love with you, won’t I be attracting love rivals myself?“I already have a bunch of rivals now. I don’t want to have more of them. I must be the most pitiful man to have so many females as love rivals.”Hayden said coldly, “You brought this upon yourself.”After that, she pushed her chair back and left. She never asked him to pursue her anyway. Kevin never went after her. He said loudly, “Remember to be back home for the grilled fish. Do invite my future brother-in-law as well.”Hayden said, “Who’s your brother-in-law? Can you have some sense of shame, Kevin?”“You’re not my brother-in-law, of course. I act properly when I’m with other people, but I’m only shameles
Chapter 2039
A hint of coldness flashed across Madam Fisher’s eyes. Celine actually believed in the words she spoke casually. Caroline was her biological daughter, at least. Although Celine was innocent, she had to pay for her father’s sins. Madam Fisher concealed her coldness and consoled Celine gently, “Alright. Don’t cry. He’s the third young master of the Yorks. Isn’t it normal that he didn’t treat you politely?“Stop crying. Your makeup is all smudged from crying. You should go to the lounge to touch it up later.”Madam Fisher sighed. She added, “Cece, even though we’re considered a wealthy family in Jensburg, we’re not in the top class. The Queen family has a higher status than us, but they can’t compare to the York family in Wiltspoon. There aren’t many top-class wealthy families like the Yorks.“You ignored my advice not to offend Kevin and did it anyway. I can help you if it were other people, but I can’t do anything if the person is Kevin.”“Mom.”Feeling aggrieved, Celine sa
