“Alright. I’m on a break like the students now. I’m going there to sort you out and whip you into a henpecked husband if you don’t be good. You can forget your dignity in front of your colleagues.” The smile across Zachary’s face deepened. “So you’re saying that you’ll come here and keep tabs on me if I deliberately stay away from the doctor?” “Don’t you dare, Zachary!” Zachary cowered on purpose. “I’m scared. I wouldn’t dare.” “Alright now. I’m going to stop here. Hurry up and get yourself to the hospital. You’re an adult, yet you don’t take good care of yourself.” Serenity grumbled before hanging up. She left Zachary to his work. “Seren.” “Liberty.” Serenity watched as her sister drew close. “Is Sonny asleep?” “Yeah. I want to take a walk while he’s sleeping. It’s good exercise. I run three times a day now. I put myself on a diet and cut down on my sugar intake.” Liberty stopped and added, “My takeaway from the three-year marriage is that we women should take ca

Clive cussed Zachary in his mind. He was still second-guessing whether it was Zachary when Serenity mentioned her husband’s name. Now that Zachary said that he was away on business, Clive could confirm that Zachary was Serenity’s husband. “When are you coming back?” “Are you that eager to buy me coffee?” “Quit the act, Zachary. I know it all. The wedding ring on Serenity’s finger belongs to the same pair as yours, right? Your wife whose face is not shown in the picture is Serenity, right?” Zachary went radio silent. He neither admitted nor denied it. Clive took Zachary’s silence as his admission to the fact. “When did you two get married? Was it before Serenity went viral on Twitter? You’ve been married for a while, yet you kept quiet about it. Elisa went mad for you and even went all the way to your office to profess her love for you in public!“Elisa became the talk of the town while you went on your aloof and sophisticated self, making a joke out of Elisa. The publi

Zachary terminated the call right away. Despite being hung up on, Clive was not angry at all.He smirked coldly. “You can refuse to acknowledge me as your cousin, Zachary, but I’ll get my way one way or another.” Alice was pouring him a glass of water when she heard his comment. She said, “You’re now family. What do you mean get your way? Whatever reason he keeps his identity a secret, Zachary is Serenity’s husband.” “I’ve been his rival for many years, and none of us ever get the upper hand. Now that I have the chance to climb over his head, I got to make use of the opportunity.” Clive grabbed the glass and took a couple of gulps. “Zachary wound me up badly. I must get my payback when he returns from his business trip. I’ll contact Serenity to come along when he buys me dinner. I bet he’ll have to call me his cousin then.“Honey, I’m walking on air just thinking about my nemesis bowing to me because I’m the older cousin.”“I think you’ve gone mad.” Alice replied amusedly,

Josh sat upright immediately.“Come in.”The door was pushed open, and a bodyguard came in with an invitation.Josh thought that it was an invitation for Julian to a banquet. Unexpectedly, the bodyguard walked straight to him and handed him the invitation. “Mr. Bucham, this is an invitation sent by Mr. Stone. The Stones will be holding a banquet tomorrow night and have invited you to join.”“Me?”Josh took the invitation skeptically and questioned, “The Stones are holding a banquet, and Clive had someone specially send it over? Also, the banquet is tomorrow night? Why so sudden?”Other families might make their banquet known a few days in advance. Some even gave guests ten days of notice so they could get ready.Was this a last-minute decision by the Stone family?Josh remembered how Audrey recognized her two nieces and he guessed the real purpose of the banquet.‘She must wish to introduce her two nieces to Wiltspoon’s elites.‘Hehe, what does Zachary think about it?’“Mr.

What would the scene of a woman meeting her ex-husband and his mistress when out shopping be like?Liberty did not have much of a reaction. As for Jessica, when she walked into the store and saw the Hunt sisters, her instinctive reaction was to cling tightly to Hank’s arm.It was as if she was afraid others would not know they were a couple.“Daddy.”Sonny, who was being held by Serenity, called out to Hank when he saw the latter.The people in the store turned to look at Hank.They saw Hank standing next to the young and beautiful Jessica, then at Liberty, whom Sonny had called “Mommy” earlier. The store clerks looked at Liberty with sympathy.She came out shopping for clothes but ended up catching her husband cheating on her...“Sonny.”Hank walked over to Serenity under the watchful eyes of the store clerks. Jessica followed closely.“Sonny, let Daddy hold you.”Hank reached out to hug Sonny.Serenity did not give him Sonny directly and placed him on the ground instead.

When Liberty was Hank’s wife, Hank led an easy life with everything provided.Now, it was Jessica who was living that life.Hank felt that Jessica was his true love.After defeating Liberty by easily getting promoted to the top and gaining Hank’s deep affection, Jessica could not wait to show off in front of Liberty, trying to provoke her.Liberty did not pay attention to Jessica and picked out a few more sets of clothes for herself.Seeing this, Jessica tried to grab the clothes again.Serenity caught her wrist and said coldly, “Hey, don’t think my sister is easy to bully. She doesn’t care to fight with you, but I won’t allow you to bully her!”She flung the hand away. With a push, Jessica was forced several steps back and retreated to Hank’s side.“Hank Brown, keep an eye on your lover. Don’t let her piss me off or I’ll beat her to a pulp.”Jessica was so angry that she was at a loss for words. “Serenity Hunt, does your man know how brutish you are? Be careful so he doesn’t

“Aunt Audrey...”Audrey raised her hand and motioned for Liberty not to speak.She gazed coldly at Jessica.Jessica cowered. “M-Mrs. Stone.”Audrey turned to her daughter and said, “Elisa, call and inform our family bodyguards to drive over all the luxury cars in our garage so your cousin can ride in all of them one by one. Each of our cars costs at least a million.”“Mrs. Stone, it’s a misunderstanding.”Hank hurriedly tried to smooth things over.“We won’t shop here anymore, Mrs. Stone. We’ll leave right away.”Hank was reminded of the difficulties he was facing at work now and did not dare to confront Audrey head-on.He took away the clothes in Jessica’s hand and passed them to the clerk. He quickly pulled Jessica and left despondently.Jessica did not dare to do anything in front of Audrey, but as soon as she left the shop, she shook off Hank’s hand and stormed forward angrily. “What were you doing just now? You didn’t say a word when you saw me being bullied by those sis

“Even if I give her more than a million dollars, she’ll probably end up spending all of it buying a house, but she still won’t be able to find a job. Unless her aunt keeps supporting her, she won’t be as happy as we are.”Sure enough, Jessica’s mood improved.“A million isn’t even enough for the down payment for a house in downtown Wiltspoon. A friend of mine bought a second-hand apartment in the busiest part of the city a while ago. It’s near a school district and is only seven hundred square feet, but it cost her five million. I was really shocked.”If she had not snatched Hank away, she could not have afforded to buy a house in downtown Wiltspoon with her income.Hank was cognizant that housing prices were exorbitant now.Fortunately, he struck early. If he only bought a house now, he would not be able to buy one in a good location, let alone a school district.“I asked around and heard that Mrs. Stone is a very strong woman. She dislikes weak and incompetent people the most.
