Elisa sped off. She was originally behind Remy’s convoy, but she stepped on the gas and quickly overtook him.Unexpectedly, her car stopped moving in two minutes.It was a flat tire, so she had to make an emergency pullover to check her tire.How could her tire be leaking?When Elisa got out of the car, Remy, who was behind her, recognized her.Remy’s driver also recognized Elisa. That was because he gave way to Elisa last time, and the incident was memorable.“Stop,” Remy ordered the driver to stop the car.The driver hurriedly pulled over and stopped right next to Elisa’s car.Remy instructed the driver, “Ask Ms. Stone what’s wrong.”He guessed Elisa was here because of Zachary.Remy lived in Wiltspoon for a long time, so he was aware that Elisa was chasing after Zachary. Since Zachary announced to his circle of friends that he was married, Elisa stopped pestering Zachary.They met again today.Remy thought, ‘Zachary is so much like my elder brother. Even though they’re m
FC & Co. and the York Corporation had in-depth cooperation. Elisa heard that Remy was in charge of FC & Co.’s branch in Wiltspoon. No wonder Remy was at York Corporation.“Mr. Johnson.”Elisa was the daughter of the Stone family and had heard of Annenburg’s FC & Co. She knew that FC & Co. was the same as York Corporation and was a multi-billion dollar corporation. These two families were the richest people in their respective cities.Moreover, the Johnson family was just like the York family. Although they were rich, all family members got along well with each other and worked together. They were a truly harmonious and cohesive family.Elisa’s mother often said that the York family could become the richest family and be at the top of the social hierarchy for so long because they had an excellent upbringing. The York children and grandchildren were well-trained to be amiable with each other. The York brothers would not turn against each other for personal interest and get along well
Seeing that Serenity only pinched his face twice and withdrew her hand, Zachary looked at her deeply and said in a low voice, “Aren’t you going to give me a kiss since I already bowed my head?”Serenity looked around quickly and whispered to him coquettishly, “There are so many people around!”There were a lot of customers in the milk tea shop.Serenity was only bold when she spoke, but she could not walk the talk.Zachary frowned. “Why don’t I kiss you then?”Before Serenity could reply, he held her face with both hands, leaned forward, and kissed her red lips.He did not go further and let her go after a quick peck. He said dotingly, “Let’s go back for lunch, We shouldn’t keep your sister waiting.”Zachary held Serenity’s hand and walked toward her car. Then, he took the car keys from her and said, “Let me drive.”Serenity did not object. They both knew how to drive, so it did not matter who drove.After getting in the car, Serenity asked him, “Did your boss’s wife show up y
Serenity said, “Did Elisa recognize the wrong car?”Zachary smiled and said, “Maybe not. Perhaps Ms. Stone has let go of her feelings for Mr. York and fallen in love with Mr. Johnson.”Serenity thought Elisa had been infatuated with Mr. York for many years, so it was unlikely that Elisa would recognize the wrong car. She said, “She probably hasn’t fallen in love with Mr. Johnson. Maybe something about Mr. Johnson caught her attention.“Is Mr. Johnson really nice? Elisa is amazing. If she can be with Mr. Johnson, we can all be relieved for her. I feel bad that she didn’t end up with Mr. York.”Serenity was Elisa’s love strategist.Since she could not help Elisa with Mr. York, it would be nice if she could match Elisa and Remy.However, Remy was from Annenburg, which was a little far away from Wiltspoon. Serenity wondered if her aunt would mind Elisa marrying out of town since Elisa was her only daughter.“Let’s just wait and see. If Ms. Stone and Mr. Johnson get along well, we ca
Serenity held Zachary’s arm and entered the store with him. She said with a smile, “You’re right. If she doesn’t come to complain, we won’t know that the Browns don’t like Jessica.”Zachary and Serenity bought several kinds of fruit from the supermarket and came out with two big shopping bags.When they arrived at Liberty’s rented house, Liberty nagged at them.Liberty did not reprimand her brother-in-law and only nagged at her younger sister. “Zachary still has to repay the mortgage. Even if he has a high income, he still needs to save some money. When you have children, your expenses will increase. I’m not short of food or anything else, so you should stop Zachary if he wants to buy us things.”“Liberty, your brother-in-law is just being nice to you, so you should just accept it. If you feel sorry for him and think that he’s under pressure to pay off the mortgage, I’ll transfer the money to him later. Just take it as I bought these for you, okay? “Also, I realize that you’re be
“Mrs. Lewis wants Duncan to marry a woman whose family has at least several billions of dollars in assets. She thinks that’s the kind of woman who is worthy of Duncan.”Duncan himself had a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.Mrs. Lewis felt that her youngest son was excellent in every aspect except for his scarred face. Since her son was so outstanding, only an equally outstanding woman would be worthy of him.Josh thought Mrs. Lewis appeared friendly, but in fact, she was rather condescending. When he met Mrs. Lewis at a banquet, Mrs. Lewis would only talk to other women with similar status to her and would look down on everyone else.Perhaps Duncan knew his mother too well and felt that it was difficult to find a girlfriend who could satisfy his mother, so he just gave up.If Duncan were present, he would say, “I really don’t like anyone. That’s why I’m not dating.”“By the way, are you pursuing Ms. Sox or her younger brother? When I returned from my business trip, I hea
After leaving the office, Zachary got into Josh’s car.Josh said to him, “I get that you don’t want to take your luxury car, but why aren’t you driving the MPV that you specially bought to deceive your wife?”Zachary said while fastening his seat belt. “If I go with you, my wife won’t have to worry about me being unemployed.”“You, unemployed? Why is Serenity worried that you’ll be unemployed?”Josh almost laughed out loud.Serenity was not worried about anything but Zachary losing his job. If Zachary did not take charge of York Corporation, all eight of his younger brothers would cry to death. He could take on the burden of nine of them by himself.“She didn’t say it, but she’s starting to feel sorry for my wallet and told me not to spend money carelessly. If I’m seen with you frequently, she’ll think that I’m licking your boots, so she won’t have to worry anymore.”Josh said, “She doesn’t know that she’s actually the real boss, huh?”At the mention of Serenity, Zachary’s eyes
Serenity saw Josh and Duncan and asked in surprise, “You mentioned you were going to have dinner with Mr. Bucham and a client. So, that client is Mr. Lewis?”“Yes.”Zachary turned to his friends. After receiving the signal, the two men walked over one after the other.“Mr. Bucham. Mr. Lewis.”Serenity got up and greeted Josh and Duncan with a smile.Jasmine also stood up.After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Serenity said casually, “If you guys don’t mind, you can join us.”“Sure!”Zachary responded the swiftest.Josh looked at Jasmine and said with a smile, “Ms. Sox, do you mind?”Jasmine felt that these two men were ignoring Duncan, their important client, so she looked at Duncan and said, “If Mr. Lewis doesn’t mind, we can eat together.”Mr. Lewis was the main character, yet these two men who were supposed to have dinner with their client marginalized him.Duncan thought, ‘So, they asked me out to be the third wheel, huh?’His friends had their respective partners, so
