“Why is our weather here not suitable, Aunt Ser?”“We have particularly long summers, where the weather is hot. Even if it’s winter, the temperature doesn’t go very low. It’s better to avoid eating fried food in such weather.”Most people from other countries thought Wiltspoonians did not eat greasy food. However, it was not because they disliked it, but because they could not take it.Sonny was still a little confused, but Serenity never explained further. He was still young. Even if she were to give a proper explanation, he would not understand her. “Has Sonny’s fever subsided, Serenity?”Duncan was walking up the stairs with the help of his bodyguards. He spoke as soon as he arrived at the door. Serenity put Sonny down. “Dunc.”Sonny immediately ran toward Duncan. Duncan lifted him as his bodyguards brought his wheelchair over. He sat on the wheelchair and patted Sonny’s head. After a moment, he muttered to himself, “I think there’s still a low fever.”Serenity walked
Lilian thought of her teacher and smiled. “The elderly are like that. My teacher does this too. If he didn’t see baby Oliver for three days, he’d say that Oliver got thinner and that we didn’t take good care of Oliver. He even suspected that I wasn’t feeding Oliver.“That’s the baby I gave birth to after months of pregnancy. Although Oliver is a crybaby and pretty annoying, my love for him isn’t less than my teacher’s. How could I have abused my own son?“The elderly love exaggerating things. They’re closer to their grandchildren. My teacher was very strict with me. If I didn’t complete the homework he assigned, he wouldn’t even let me eat. I didn’t see him worry about me getting thinner from hunger back then.”Serenity laughed as well. “You’re right. Our parents are usually closer to our children. Jane said her family used to adore her the most whenever she visited them. However, after she had children, her mom wouldn’t be as welcoming if she didn’t bring her children along for vis
Zachary held Serenity’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll go with you to your prenatal checkup first.”He would not be going to the company in the morning because of that. When they turned to leave, they met Carrie. She was holding a little girl’s hand, talking to the girl as she walked. However, the little girl did not seem bothered to listen to Carrie. “Mr. and Mrs. York, you must be here to drop Sonny off.”When Carrie saw Zachary and Serenity, Carrie stopped and greeted them with a smile. Her gaze landed on Zachary, then Serenity. Serenity was twenty-eight weeks pregnant. Jasmine was a month ahead of her and already at thirty-two weeks. Josh did not really want Jasmine to go to the bookstore anymore, but Jasmine refused to stay home because she was too bored. Jasmine said she would look after the bookstore for another month before staying home to prepare for labor and delivery. Josh had no choice but to follow her wishes. The Bucham family’s bodyguards were following her all th
If they could do more, oppressing the Longbottoms’ family businesses in Havenmill would help Laurence greatly.However, Zachary had told Serenity that even though Laurence’s enemy had taken over the family business after killing Laurence’s family, the man was unable to make it his own or mobilize the elites of the Longbottom family. That was because Mr. Longbottom did not have the family totem and seal, as well as the family head’s token. Those items were with Doc. Jane had given them to Doc, hoping he would keep them safe for Laurence. The legendary masters were pioneers of the Imperial Force. Since they were inactive, not many people remembered them, much less their hideout. Therefore, leaving the items in Doc’s care was safer than putting them in FC Manor. Meanwhile, the Longbottom family’s totem was carved on Laurence’s back.When Serenity saw it, she thought the totem was not only a representation of his identity, but also carried secrets of the Longbottom family. However,
Carrie had gathered some news about Mr. Longbottom through her two bodyguards. He had a new target and was busy pleasing her. That old man was already tired of her. It had not been long since he had her, but he was already flirting with a new woman. Fortunately, Carrie was still useful. Otherwise, Mr. Longbottom would have abandoned her and not even given her any allowance. Upon realizing she would be abandoned sooner or later, Carrie started spending less to save money. Once the task Mr. Longbottom assigned her was completed, she would leave Wiltspoon with the money she had saved and go somewhere nobody knew her to start anew.When that time came, she would buy a house and a car with the money. She would also open two stores to earn some living allowance. Then, she would look for a handsome man to get married to and have children with. Carrie believed that she could lead a comfortable life. Oh, she would also return to fight for the Newmans’ family assets in the future. E
“She even said she miscarried once.”Serenity told Zachary, “Camryn mentioned that Carrie had asked Trenton for money to conduct a surgery before. Trenton wanted to come back to look after her, but she didn’t let him. Carrie probably had an abortion at that time.“When she stared at me earlier, she probably recalled how we became enemies and displayed her hatred. She still doesn’t think she’s in the wrong and that I’m the one entirely at fault.”Carrie was a hopeless case.Although Carrie’s hatred for Serenity was overwhelming, Serenity was not scared of her. Upon knowing Carrie’s true intentions, Serenity never trusted “Mrs. Longbottom” and did not allow her to join her group of friends. If Carrie could not complete her mission, her financial backer would eventually lose patience and deal with her. Serenity would not have to lift a finger.Camryn did not want Serenity to teach Carrie a lesson either. It was not because she still viewed Carrie as a sister, but because she wanted
Callum and Kevin would be spending at least two to three months focusing on their weddings and honeymoons. Therefore, the responsibility of managing the company would naturally fall on Zachary’s shoulders again. Meanwhile, Dylan, Peter, and Austin were still busy pursuing their future wives.River was still inexperienced, while Alex had not truly debuted in the business world. Grandma May had told Zachary to bring Alex along to a large-scale corporate event that would be happening soon. Alex’s identity would be revealed so people could get to know him. After that, Alex would have to take on multiple roles in the company. Every York brother had to experience the job scope of multiple roles within the company to gain experience. They would also start with small investments before their debut.Zachary did not agree to Grandma May’s arrangement. He told her to take Alex to the event herself because he hated attending such things. It would be better if Serenity could accompany him,
Meanwhile, in Jensburg, the conference room located on the top floor of Fisher Enterprise was filled with the senior managers of the company.Over ten elders of the Fisher family were also present.They were of the same generation as Audrey and were much older than Liberty.Caroline and Liberty were seated at the head of the table. Darren was beside them. The three Clark brothers were present as well.If a gaze could kill, they would have killed Caroline and Liberty many times over.Their hatred toward Caroline ran deep.They had begged and persuaded her, but she refused to listen to them. She insisted on handing the company and everything that belonged to the Fisher family to Liberty.She said the Fisher family members had already lost confidence in them.So what?When their mother was the matriarch, she had already gathered eighty percent of the shares through her continuous effort.It allowed the matriarch to have the final say no matter what.The older generation in the
