For personal and professional reasons, Duncan could not tell Lily to get out. “I guess you must not have breakfast yet, Duncan.” Lily drew close with a smile and put the food containers on Duncan’s desk. “Mrs. Lewis told me to bring them to you. She said you often sleep late and wake up late, so you don’t have time to eat. Mrs. Lewis told me to bring you breakfast when she found out that I was going to meet you.“I was driving behind you just now. I saw you going to a diner called All You Can Eat. Do you usually have breakfast there?” She should try the food there sometime. Was the food that good? Lily wondered whether Duncan was at the diner for the food or the operator. “Ms. Harmon, my schedule is full for the day, so I don’t have time to discuss a partnership today. I need to get to a meeting in a minute.” “I’ll book a time with the secretary later. We can talk business when you have time. What time is your meeting?” “Nine o’clock.” Lily looked at the time. Ten more

Lily knew Duncan would say that. She uttered with a smile, “Duncan, Mrs. Lewis wants you to go with her. I can’t replace you. I’m only the daughter of Mrs. Lewis’s friend anyway. I’m not family.“I’m not keen on social events either, but we don’t have a choice most of the time. We have to fulfill our obligations.” Duncan had attended plenty of business parties to talk business. Before Lewis & Co. took off, he had to attend business engagements to drum in partnerships. Lewis and Co. was now a well-known company in Wiltspoon. Duncan would only discuss big contracts with other CEOs while the trades on a smaller scale were left to his management team. He started to attend fewer of these gatherings unless his two best friends were going. With company around, Duncan would turn up briefly. However, more often than not, Zachary would not show up. Hence, it fueled Duncan’s lack of presence at social events. “Who is the organizer? Where’s the party?” Duncan asked. Lily replied,

Instead of going out, Mrs. Lewis stayed at home and waited for Lily’s return. She wanted to know if Duncan ate the breakfast Lily delivered. Picking up on the sound of an approaching vehicle, Mrs. Lewis walked out of the house. “Mrs. Lewis.” Lily got out of the car and approached Mrs. Lewis with empty food containers. Judging by the smile on Lily’s smile, Mrs. Lewis could tell that her son ate Lily’s homemade breakfast. The pair strolled back into the house in talk and laughter. Handing the food containers to the maid, Lily helped Mrs. Lewis to sit on the sofa. “Why didn’t you stay longer at Duncan’s office?” “Duncan has a meeting coming up. I didn’t want to take up too much of his time. Mrs. Lewis, I told Duncan that you told me to deliver the breakfast, and he ate it all up. He even asked me if you had a new chef. He thought well of my cooking.” Mrs. Lewis was all smiles as if Lily was about to become her daughter-in-law. “You should deliver Duncan packed breakfas

Lily carried on talking. “You told me about this. Serenity and Liberty are sisters. Serenity lost her parents at the age of ten, and it was her sister who raised her. Her sister taught her everything she knew. Serenity’s character is the reflection of Liberty’s. “I believe Liberty isn’t that kind of woman. Maybe she’ll become my rival in love, but it won’t be her intention. The problem lies with Duncan.” Lily was not a sheltered princess. She held a high position at Harmon Corporation and was well-traveled. Her perspective of the world was likely broader than Mrs. Lewis’s. “But now that I know about this, it should be enough warning to keep me on my toes.” Lily was lost in her thoughts. She should pull Duncan to her corner before sparks started to ignite between Duncan and Liberty. That way, Duncan would be hers. If… She were to lose to Liberty… Lily stopped her thoughts from wandering further. She refused to imagine a potential loss. She was way superior to Liberty in

Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt needed to be there for the ownership transfer formalities too. Once the procedure was done, and Liberty’s name was on the title deed, Liberty and Serenity then paid the old folks for their share of the property. Serenity wanted to leave her part of the inheritance to Liberty as Liberty was the eldest daughter. Serenity had taken into consideration that her sister had it rougher in life. However, Serenity had not told her sister about it. Now all that was done and out of the way, the mayor said to the sisters, “Liberty, Serenity, are you renting your farmland out? We have someone who wants to contract our fields. I had a meeting with the rest of the townspeople. Everybody is on board. “You’ll get the rent from the contracted fields, and the money will depend on the square footage of your land. The rate per acre will be the same across all. You can leave your number with me if you’re interested. I’ll transfer you the money when we sign the contract and rec

“Alright, that’s decided then. I enjoy seeing you drunk. You’ll be all over me!” Zachary kept his voice down at the end. Serenity was lost for words. The callous man had changed a lot. He could be such a flirt over the phone. “Are things going well? Did they kick up a fuss?” The extremes Old Mrs. Hunt would go to had not been forgotten. Zachary was worried Old Mrs. Hunt would cause a scene. Still, there was no cause for concern as Zachary assigned bodyguards to protect Serenity, She brought lawyers, and she could fight. “It’s going well. My granddad must have told my grandmom what his sons and grandson said. My grandmom did not act up this time. She was cooperative. I got my maternal grandparents to come. They said they didn’t want my mom’s share and wanted us to have it.”“Okay.”Zachary had not met the Howdens.The Howdens were cruel for what they did back then. Nevertheless, that fact could be overlooked since they raised Lisa. “My maternal grandparents apologiz

“Liberty, I’ll go to Zachary’s office and wait for him to get off work.” Behind the wheel, Serenity told her sister and turned to ask her nephew, “Do you want to come with me to pick your uncle up, Sonny?” Before Sonny could answer, Liberty replied, “Zachary will think of him as a third wheel if you take him.” Sonny’s mind immediately flew to his Uncle Zack’s comment about him. Shaking his head, Sonny responded, “I don’t want to be a third wheel, Aunt Ser. I’m Sonny.” “Of course. Sonny is Sonny. Sonny is not a third wheel. Don’t take your uncle’s words to heart.” Liberty jumped in with a smile, “Just drop us at our rental place. I’m taking him to shop for ingredients for tomorrow.” “Alright then.” Serenity did not insist. She drove her sister and nephew back to their rental apartment and watched them take the elevator upstairs before driving away. Once at York Corporation, she ran into Camryn. Camryn came alone to York Corporation. Supported by her white cane, Camry

Camryn quietly listened to what Serenity said. She had a very good memory, so she remembered everything after Serenity said it once.“Ms. Camryn, can you remember the route I told you about?” Serenity asked with concern.Camryn replied warmly, “Thank you, Mrs. York. I can remember it.”“Then, I’ll get going now.”Serenity had to go up to the top floor to find Zachary. She would be taking a different elevator.“Okay. I’ll walk slowly. Mr. Callum said I have to walk by myself and can’t let anyone lead me.” Serenity felt that her brother-in-law was courting death by causing trouble for Camryn.Camryn thought the same.She did not know when she had offended Callum.Callum wanted to make things difficult for her, so he threw a bait to lure her.The business of her flower shop had been average lately. Except for that one day when someone came to her store to buy all the roses, there were usually not many people who bought flowers.When Callum suggested that he would recommend the M

Zachary, afraid that his wife might refuse to spend time with him at his office in the future, emphasized that he was not busy today.He had already cleared his morning schedule because he needed to accompany his beloved wife for her prenatal checkup.His secretary was well aware of Serenity’s checkup dates. Whenever he saw Serenity turn up at the office with his boss, his secretary would quietly adjust his schedule.Sometimes, on the day of the Serenity’s checkup, his secretary would not schedule any appointments for Zachary at all.Even if appointments were scheduled, Zachary would request they be canceled or rescheduled.Now, in Zachary’s eyes, his wife’s matters were the most important.With Alex now able to share the workload, Zachary felt that he, as the eldest of his generation who had shouldered the bulk of the burden for so many years, deserved a break.Plus, there was the elite team the company had trained; if not now, then when would they be put to use?Everyone was

Tony turned around and left.Only after hearing the door close did Carrie dare to open her eyes.She had woken up while Tony and his son were on the phone, but she did not dare move, fearing that Tony might suspect her of eavesdropping.Just now, when that old lecher stood by the bed looking at her, there was definitely a murderous glint in his eyes. She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought. The reason she ended up in this situation was entirely due to Camryn.She and Camryn were sworn enemies. Their conflict would not end until one of them was dead. However, even if she died, she would drag Camryn down with her.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at York Corporation, Zachary, seated at his desk, kept glancing up at his pregnant wife.

“You should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.” Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, “There were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldn’t eliminate them all at once.”Back then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main family’s long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistress—a tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottom’s place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.“Isa, you’re always so busy and exhausted. If you’re feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. It’s the same either way.”Tati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tati’s kind offer.She said, “Not today. There’s an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t touch alcohol.”Given her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someone’s schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?”Isabella added calmly to Tati, “If you let him provoke you, he’ll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesn’t exist and don’t respond no matter what he does, he’ll naturally give up once he sees that you’re completely unresponsive.”Tati said, “I’m afraid that he’ll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesn’t get anywhere with me. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi

Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w
