A few minutes later, Serenity sat up from the bed and pondered. She then slid out of bed, began to pack her household goods, and took them back to her room.She would not sleep in his bed anymore.She angrily moved back to her room to sleep.Zachary was likewise still sulking.He received the message from Serenity and read it, but he did not reply. Instead, he deleted it instantly.He only had one thought in his mind, and that was how Serenity accused him of being narrow-minded and did not treat him as a family.Putting the phone on the desk, Zachary got up and paced back and forth in the office, incredibly annoyed.In the end, he went and made himself a cup of coffee.After drinking the coffee, he forced himself to calm down and got back to work.He intended to work through the night.Serenity was so angry that she tossed and turned, failing to fall asleep, but after an hour or so, she stopped being angry. It was not the first time he acted like this. If she got mad at him e
“Don’t worry, Ms. Hunt. Take your time with breakfast. Your sister just called me and said that she sent Sonny to the store. Ms. Sox is already there. She told us to head directly to the store later. There’s no need to drop by her new place.”Serenity sighed in relief and sat down at the dining table.Mrs. Lane prepared sandwiches for her today with all kinds of fillings, as well as a pot of black coffee.Black coffee...Serenity took out her phone and photographed the pot of coffee, then sent it to the petty man.Unsurprisingly, Zachary did not reply to her.Serenity grumbled.“Are the sandwiches not good, Ms. Hunt?”Mrs. Lane heard Serenity grumble and thought the sandwiches she made were lousy. She asked, “What kind of sandwiches do you fancy? Tell me and I’ll make them for you tomorrow.”“I’m not a picky eater, Mrs. Lane. I like all kinds of sandwiches.“You sit down too. Let’s talk while we eat.”With Zachary not at home, Mrs. Lane was a lot more comfortable.Although
“Zachary doesn’t fully treat me as a family either. What right does he have to demand me to be completely open with him when he can’t do the same for me? He’s being hypocritical. He has to have the final say in everything. When things don’t go his way, he gets angry and says I don’t think of him as family.“I got mad too and said that he was self-centered and narrow-minded, so he hung up on me. When I sent him a message, he refused to reply to me. He’s always like this. He stops replying to my messages every time he’s angry, and he doesn’t pick up my calls either. He’s like a petty woman.”Mrs. Lane was speechless.Zachary was indeed like that. Serenity’s analysis was spot on.Zachary was raised as a successor since he was young. All his younger brothers revolved around him.When he took the helm of York Corporation, whether it was Old Mrs. York or his parents, they relented and let him in complete charge of the company. In York Corporation, his word was law.His brothers and eve
Seeing that Mrs. Lane was mopping the floor, Serenity did not think much of it and went off by herself.Mrs. Lane sent her off at the door and watched her enter the elevator before returning to the house. She hurriedly got her cell phone to call Zachary.At first, he did not answer.Mrs. Lane called him three more times, but he still did not pick up.She sent him a message.[Mr. Zachary, the missus took some medicine.]In less than a minute, Zachary called Mrs. Lane.“What medicine did Seren take?”Zachary spoke in a voice that still sounded the same as usual, low and cold, but Mrs. Lane was familiar with him and could hear the nervousness in his tone.“She said she didn’t sleep well and had a headache and sore eyes, so she took a painkiller.”Zachary suddenly stopped talking.He got the fright of his life!Mrs. Lane was vague.He thought Serenity took some pills and attempted suicide.Well, he was obviously far off the mark.Serenity had a cheerful personality. There wa
When Serenity arrived at the store, she just so happened to see Josh coming out.He turned his head and waved goodbye as he walked away. Serenity did not have to ask to know that he was speaking to Jasmine.He greeted Serenity politely when he saw her.Serenity smiled back. She was not familiar with Josh but was aware of his true identity, so she was a bit reserved.Josh and Serenity had nothing to talk about either, and she was his friend’s wife. It was inappropriate for him to interact much with her when his friend was not around.“I’ll head back to the office, Ms. Hunt.”“Bye, Mr. Bucham.”Josh smiled, got into the car, and quickly drove away.Only then did Serenity enter the store.As soon as she did, she saw a large bouquet of flowers placed on the cashier’s desk. At a glance, there seemed to be ninety-nine roses. In addition to the bouquet, there was a large bag beside it that was filled with a variety of snacks Jasmine ate regularly.There were also a few sets of Jasmi
Finally, Jasmine mustered the courage to shamelessly ask Elisa about Josh. She found out that if Josh truly wanted to mess with someone, that person’s fate would be worse than death.His play was to let that particular person lose everything bit by bit and taste despair one drop at a time. It was a slow torture to the mind.Therefore, Jasmine was a little worried she would offend him if she rejected him, and he would unleash his anger on Zachary instead.“I’ll give it a try. Don’t worry, I won’t force myself.”Although she was worried, she would not actually force herself when it came down to it.“Seren, did you not go to the Stone residence last night? I was shocked by your sister’s face when she brought Sonny over.”Serenity’s expression turned resentful at the mention of that incident. She cursed the entire Brown family in her heart.If not for Olivia and Chelsea picking a fight with Liberty, she would not have gotten into a fight with Zachary again.Well, with a character l
Turning around, Liberty went back into the office. That colleague was still chatting away happily with the others.Liberty went straight to that person’s desk and only then did the colleague realize that Liberty had come back.The woman was a bit overwhelmed by the embarrassment of being caught red-handed while speaking badly behind someone’s back.“Do you have a crush on Mr. Lewis?”Liberty’s words instantly made the girl’s face turn red.“Of course not.”She denied it.“Then is it fascinating for you to spread rumors that Mr. Lewis and I have a secret affair? I heard the bitterness in your tone, so it’s clear that you have a crush on Mr. Lewis. That’s why you’re always targeting me.“Whether you believe me or not, I don’t have any interest in Mr. Lewis. I’m indeed divorced, but that’s because my husband cheated on me. Was I supposed to keep him until the new year before divorcing him? Now that I’m divorced, do I have to be subjected to rumors by you saying that I’m seducing M
Duncan spoke up. “I know I made things hard for you in the company because I personally hired you, but you don’t have to worry about what others say. Just do your own thing.”“Mr. Lewis, I want to resign.”Duncan’s eyes deepened as he asked, “Why do you want to resign?”Liberty was silent, then she raised her head to look at Duncan and said, “Back then, I was told that I came in through the back door, and I was secretly targeted by everyone. However, I put up with it in order to get a divorce and win custody of my son.“It was because I needed a job to fight for Sonny’s custody.”“So now that you’re divorced and you’ve won the custody of your son, you want to resign?” Duncan picked up from where she left off. “You haven’t even completed your probation period.”He added, “You’re a capable person, and you’re good at your job. I believe that you know this too, but whatever they say about you, you don’t have to listen to them as long as you have a clear conscience.”“They’re also sa
