Serenity replied breezily, “Okay, it’s settled then.”Shawn was pleased too.He was looking forward to Saturday arriving.Several cars suddenly stopped in front of the bookstore. Sawnn said, “I’ll go take a look.”He turned around and left.Soon, he returned and said to Serenity, “It’s your relatives.”Serenity had just finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, “Since they’re here, I guess I can’t continue to be scared of them.”She was not surprised that those outrageous people found this place.Thanks to the blessings of a majority of the netizens, her uncles and cousins’ jobs were exposed. They also had good connections, and the incident made the trending news twice, so it was easy for them to find Serenity and her sister.“Serenity.” The Hunt family brothers entered, led by Mike. A total of eight of them came, all dressed in branded goods and holding a set of keys in their hands. They shook their keys from time to time as if the keys were made of gold.

“However, after being morally blackmailed by you guys who deliberately distorted the truth and being labeled as someone who’s unfilial, I decided not to visit her anymore. I won’t give her any money either. All of you have scolded me online, but now you want me to walk up to her just to get another scolding?”“Serenity, they’re our grandparents. You won’t die from a little scolding by them. Although you’re not obligated to support them, anyone with a conscience would give them some living expenses. It’s been so many years, but your sister and you have never gone back to visit them or give them money for maintenance. Well, if you’re still able to sleep at night, then we won’t say anything about it.“We have already deleted our blog post, so you should delete yours too. Do you know what impact your post had on all of us? We can sue you for cyberbullying. However, since we’re cousins, we had decided to negotiate with you privately. There’s no need to bring this matter into court.”The

Serenity’s youngest cousin was only seventeen or eighteen years old. It was the age whereby impulse and hot-bloodedness reigned supreme.He had a horrible temper too. When Serenity refused to go to the hospital or delete the post, he got angry and threatened to smash her bookstore.Serenity looked at him coldly. “Don’t you dare!”Her eyes were stern and cold, and her icy words carried a domineering aura that made the Hunt brothers shrink for no reason.“Noah.” Mike turned his head to glare at the youngest cousin. When the latter did not dare to speak up anymore, he looked at Serenity and smiled. “Serenity, don’t be mad at Noah. That’s just the way he talks.“Like what John said earlier, we’re still cousins with close blood relations. No matter what, we’re family. Will you benefit by humiliating us? We were wrong in this matter, so we apologize to you. Let bygones be bygones, okay?“You don’t need to pay any money. We only ask that you go visit Grandmom. She really wants to see yo

Serenity chuckled and said, “I heard Granddad and Grandmom are doing well in the hospital; eating well, sleeping well, and coming down on me pretty hard too. They don’t seem to think they’re in the wrong. Are you sure they want to apologize to me?” Mike wanted to jump to his grandparents’ defense, but no words came out of his mouth. Grandmom and Granddad did not genuinely accept their faults. Instead, the Hunt family persuaded them to do so. The family wanted to put everything behind them before things got more out of hand for them. With both parties’ reconciliation, the public interest would soon wane and they would be distracted by the latest trending news. It would not be long before the netizens forgot about the Hunts, and the family would have their peace back. If there was one thing the Hunts learned, it was that the internet was a powerful force that worked like a double-edged sword. While the internet could be a tool to attack someone, those who abused it would suffer d

Shawn believed the Hunts were unbelievable. Their shamelessness was on a whole new level. “Serenity, I got your conversation with them on tape,” Jasmine said. “I’ll send the voice recording to you in case they make things up about you again online.” Serenity gave her best friend the thumbs up. The Hunts got her so riled up that it slipped her mind to record on her phone. “Shawn, aren’t you going to work?” After sending the voice recording to her best friend, Jasmine realized her cousin was still at the shop. She urged him to hurry to work. Reluctant to leave, Shawn uttered, “I’m working in my family’s company. It doesn’t make a difference if I’m a little late.” “All the more you should put in the effort and abide by the company’s rules and regulations since you’re working in your family’s company. Set a good example so no one can find fault with you. Hurry along now. You’ll get it if Aunt Rachel finds out you’re not in the office.” As Shawn was the firstborn, Jasmine’s aunt

Zachary was a little worried that Serenity could not deal with the Hunt cousins, but he said nothing about it. He did not even give Serenity a call. Now that they had been married for nearly a month, Zachary had a bit more of an idea of Serenity’s personality now than before. Serenity would call him for help if things were more than she could handle. Since there were no calls from her, it meant she could manage. Besides, she would not lose since she had a leg to stand on. With this in mind, Zachary switched to another car after work and drove to Wiltspoon School. When Zachary was leaving the office, Josh complained that Zachary had recently pushed all the business dinners onto him. Zachary replied, “I have a wife. I should go home to spend some time and bond with my wife after work.” Josh was speechless. ‘As if! ‘It’s clearly an excuse!‘It’s just his excuse to slack off!’Josh protested in his mind. Zachary had been neglecting his work since he got married. It was so u

After a pause, Zachary added. “I’ll drive you to work tomorrow morning.” Since Zachary was being thoughtful, Serenity left her e-bike at the shop and took a ride in Zachary’s car. Jasmine watched the couple as they left while mumbling to herself, “They’re acting more like a couple now.” Although Zachary was aloof and antisocial, his care for Serenity was in the details. “I’d be happy to marry immediately if a man like Mr. York comes into my life.” It was a pity that her blind dates had nothing on Zachary. The supposed fine men were only placed above the rest because of their high income. However, they were far from being labeled fine men. The man Jasmine went on a blind date with at Beans and Cream had taken a fancy to Serenity. The man even made a private call to the matchmaker to ask about Serenity, only to find out that Serenity was taken. The man must be living in Lalaland. Jasmine called the man to give him a piece of her mind, threatening to ruin him if he were to

Everybody in the neighborhood knew how close the sisters were. Liberty kept the matter from her sister to save her the worry. “Thank you, Mrs. Zaks.” Serenity thanked Mrs. Zaks before continuing her quick walk toward her sister’s residential building while dragging Zachary along. “My brother-in-law was angry that my sister hadn’t cooked lunch for him when I dropped her off the other day. Hank looked like he wanted to hit my sister, but he wiped that look off his face when he saw me,” Serenity babbled to Zachary. “Why didn’t my sister let me know?” Serenity felt bad for her sister. Women gained a second chance in life when they got married. Her sister’s second chance in life did not seem smooth sailing. Hank’s attitude toward Liberty changed for the worse less than three years into the marriage. Zachary replied firmly, “Your sister doesn’t want you to worry. Mrs. Zaks said that your sister chased your brother-in-law down a few streets with a knife. It means your sister had

“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

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
