Chapter 2215
It took several minutes before Hayden was about to slam the door and keep Kevin out of the car. When she thought she could finally leave the office, she was stopped by yet another suitor. It was Celine. Celine watched as Kevin’s shameless attachment rendered Hayden helpless. It was then Celine realized she must be bold to express her feelings and court Hayden if she liked him. Regardless of Hayden’s reaction or acceptance, Celine must work hard to prove her love. Celine still believed she was saving Hayden from a disaster. Kevin was a man. Hayden was also a man. There was still a lot of discrimination against same-sex couples in many parts of the world. The relationship was doomed right from the start. Most importantly, Hayden was not gay, and he despised Kevin. Celine wanted to adopt Kevin’s approach and pushed the competition away. Since she and Hayden were a man and woman, Hayden might just end up with her. It should send a strong message to Kevin to let Hayde

Celine broke free from the two security guards and turned back to give one of them a slap in the face. She yelled, “You’re nothing but watchdogs. You have no right to touch me. Do you think you can hurt me because I’m not the real heiress of the Fisher family? Even the real heiress has to think twice before crossing me.”Then came a smack. It did not come from Celine though. The security guard who was slapped returned the favor. Since the security guard was a man, he packed a lot of force into the slap. The heavy blow threw Celine off. With a hand over her cheek, she glared at the security guard in disbelief. The burning pain pulled Celine back to reality as she furiously swung her arm. Nevertheless, the security guard was not going to take her abuse lying down. He dodged Celine’s incoming palm and pushed her away. Celine staggered back until she regained footing. “How dare you hit me, b*stard! I’m going to kill you for pushing me!” Once she kept to her feet, Celine pi

“Hayden will not like you. You’re a man!” Celine blurted in anger before storming off. She could not beat Kevin. Her mother often reminded her to avoid taking Kevin head-on as York Corporation stood behind Kevin. Even her mother had to tread carefully around Kevin. Kevin told the two security guards, “You can get back to work. Don’t bother with this psycho. Don’t worry, I have your back.” Well, he was curious to see if Madam Fisher would get even with him on the imposter’s behalf. Kevin got a handle on the situation after Mrs. Stone’s discreet trip with Liberty to Jensburg—the Fishers and the Yorks were on opposite sides. Madam Fisher caused the death of Serenity’s grandmother! The two security guards thanked Kevin and went back to their posts. It was not as though they were afraid as they were merely carrying out Mr. Hayden’s orders to drag Celine away. Celine was playing with fire to block Mr. Hayden’s way. Celine should consider herself lucky that Mr. Hayden did n

How could Caroline possibly ditch the client for Celine at a time like this? Even if she did not need to meet a client, Caroline would not pick Celine up. The phony had occupied everything that was hers, and now that the truth was out, Celine never once apologized to Caroline. In fact, Celine pushed her around, so why should she fetch Celine from Queen Enterprise? “Who called you?” asked Madam Fisher tenderly as she noticed her daughter answering a call and promptly hanging up without a word.“It was Celine.” “What does she want now? Why did she call you?” The mother and daughter walked into the hotel. “She said her car is broken and ordered me to pick her up right away.” Caroline kept her tone flat. “Mom, I can’t possibly leave now to fetch her. I have a valid reason if she goes complaining to you.” Looking upset, Madam Fisher said, “Got it. I will talk to her if she comes to me. She does nothing all day long. You have to work, and we’re meeting an important client now.

“Mom?” Celine was surprised to hear Madam Fisher’s voice over the phone. She took a whole different personality, making herself to be the victim as she answered, “Mom, Kevin pulled one on me. He deflated all my tires, and I’m stranded with the car. It’s hot outside. I wanted Caroline to pick me up. It won’t take her a lot of time to make a trip to Queen Enterprise anyway since it’s after work hours, and it won’t get in the way of her working overtime.” “Why did you get involved with Kevin again? Do you take my advice seriously? I told you not to get on Kevin’s nerves. He’s a York! Even I am courteous with Kevin. Who do you think you are to stir trouble with Kevin?” Madam Fisher let her anger rip. For once, she lost her patience with Celine. “Do you think you can bear the consequences of the York family going after our family? If that happens, don’t blame me for disowning you to save the family.” “Mom!”Celine thought she was hearing things. Was she talking to the moth

“Of course, Caroline would take the opportunity to complain about you to your mom since you ordered her to pick you up while they were meeting a client. Considering Caroline just closed a huge deal, your mom is sure to show her some level of respect.”Celine was overwhelmed with jealousy. “Well, isn’t she lucky?” “I know, right.” Emma allowed jealousy to rear its ugly head too. If Caroline managed to establish herself, then Caroline would become the head of the family while her husband would be left out of the picture. Her husband had been slaving away for Fisher Enterprise, but in the end, all his work would be for Caroline’s benefit. That fact would not sit well with Emma and her husband. While the battle between the real and fake heiresses of the Fisher family was in full swing, Serenity was spoiled by everybody in Wiltspoon. After returning from FC Manor, Serenity rested for a couple of days before throwing herself back into work. Zachary did not stop her from goi

“That’s right. The baby’s health is more important than gender. The York family has had sons for generations. They can’t blame you for not being able to birth a daughter. The deciding factor of a baby’s gender is the men anyway.”“Seren,” called a familiar voice.It was Grandma May.Elisa and Serenity looked toward the office door. They saw her entering with Mrs. Lane carrying a few insulated lunch boxes in her hands too. “What brings you here, Nana?”“Grandma May.”Serenity and Elisa stood. When Serenity spotted the lunch boxes Mrs. Lane was holding, she figured out why Grandma May had come. They were delivering food to her. The old lady smiled and said, “It’s noon. I don’t want you walking around because the weather’s scorching, so Cecilia and I are here to deliver some food for you to eat in the office. You can even take a rest after eating.”After speaking, she grinned at Elisa and said, “It’s been a while, Little Fireball.”Elisa grumbled unhappily, “I’m not little an

Mrs. Lane placed the sour prune aside and said with a grin, “You can’t let Mr. York know of this, Mrs. York. Otherwise, he’ll deduct my bonus.“I prepared two desserts for you too. It’s not much, just two small pieces to satisfy your cravings.”Serenity watched as Mrs. Lane took one delicious dish after another out of the insulated lunch boxes and placed them on the office table. Then, she looked toward the desserts. She could finish those two small pieces of cake in a bite.She said, “The cakes are tiny, Mrs. Lane. There’s only one sour prune too. It’ll only worsen my cravings, not satisfy them. It’s too little.”Grandma May said, “Zack gave Mrs. Lane a special reminder because he was scared you would vomit. He also stressed that I shouldn’t spoil you by letting you eat sour or sweet food. He told me that you even vomited bile this morning.“You should be content that Mrs. Lane even brought you one sour prune.”Serenity said, “Okay. I’m content. One it is. It’s better than none.
