Chapter 15

Author: Gu Lingfei
Having eaten to her heart’s content, Jasmine gleefully said, “Shawn, I’m not interested in the eligible bachelors. Serenity and I are only here to check out the scene and taste the food. The place lives up to its name as a seven-star hotel. The food is amazing. It was a hearty meal.”

Shawn was speechless.

“We’re stuffed now. It’s getting late, Shawn. Serenity and I got to go. Please let my aunt know on my behalf.”

Anxious, Shawn did a double take on Serenity and answered, “Leaving so soon? Jas, the party is only halfway through. It’s still early. The earliest would be eleven o’clock tonight before the party’s over.”

Serenity chimed in. “We have a business to run tomorrow, so we can’t stay out that late.”

With the pair getting up, Shawn followed behind them.

“You know you can delay the opening time by a few hours.”

Shawn hovered around Serenity, hoping to keep the girls around for a little longer.

“That won’t do. Our busiest times are in the morning, afternoon, and evenin

    Within the business community in Wiltspoon, anyone who had won Zachary’s favor would go places like the world was theirs to take. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe brought their son along to the dinner party so he could meet people and make friends. It was to lay the groundwork for their son’s future. “Mr. Lowe, you were…” “I was just returning from walking my family to get a ride.” Before Zachary could finish his sentence, Shawn jumped in to explain what he was doing in case Zachary might take it the wrong way that Shawn did not care for these social settings or was unhappy with the hotel service.The Wiltspoon Hotel was one of the many hotels under the Yorks’ flagship. “Oh.” Zachary then walked past Shawn, looking like he only greeted Shawn out of politeness. Shawn had no time to get over the situation as a crowd around Zachary walked right past him. Shawn became a nobody in an instant. Everybody was used to Zachary making a brief appearance at an event before taking off. The CEOs w

    “Yeah.” Zachary answered in a deep voice. Serenity drew close, holding a carrier bag in hand. “I bought cranberries. Do you want some?” Black in the face, Zachary gave her a dirty look. All she did was eat at the dinner party. Yet, she still had room for more. She was such a glutton! “Cranberries can taste bitter when eaten raw, but there’s a sweet aftertaste that comes through. It was once the favorite of my most cherished man.” Taking the seat next to Zachary, Serenity opened the container of cranberries. Zachary discreetly scooted to the side to pull away from her. He did not want his clothes stained. “Your most cherished man?” “The man on the hundred-dollar bill.” Zachary was speechless. Money to him was a series of numbers in his account. “Do you want to try a bite? It’s tasty. For real. It’s delicious. I can’t get enough of it.” “No. Knock yourself out. One more thing. Can you take it to the dining hall? I can’t stand to see the furniture stained.” Seein

    “I wasn’t at the shop tonight. My friend wanted to attend a dinner party and asked me to tag along. Oh, right. Mr. York, I want to ask you about something, but I’m not sure if it’s something you’re comfortable answering.” Taking the seat opposite Zachary, Serenity stared at the man with her big bright eyes. The man was aloof, distant, and nasty toward her. She knew he built a wall around him to keep nobody out but her. However, he was blessed with good looks. His face was aesthetically pleasing as if she was looking at a beautiful scenery. “The party was held at the Wiltspoon Hotel. I heard the hotel belongs to the wealthiest family in the city. Guess what? The heir of the family attended tonight too. His last name is York, but I think you’re unrelated to that family, right?” Without batting an eye, Zachary blasély replied, “We just so happen to share the same last name.” Serenity heaved a sigh of relief and responded with a smile, “I knew you have no relations to the wealthi

    “I’m taking a trip back to my hometown after meeting your parents this weekend. I want to chop down a few bamboos to make the rails.” Zachary replied faintly, “No need, I’ll get someone to install the rails tomorrow.” The lady of the York house wanted to go all the way to her hometown to chop down some bamboo and haul them back for laundry-airing purposes. The only person who could come up with this is Serenity. “Sure. Thanks.” “This is also my home.” “Yeah,” Serenity answered before carrying her laundry to her bedroom. She pushed open her bedroom door before turning around to look at Zachary, “If you want, you can leave your dirty clothes out after shower. I’ll wash your clothes when I’m doing my laundry.” “It’s fine. Thank you. I’ll get someone to deliver two washing machines tomorrow. It’d be easy to have a washing machine in each of our bathrooms.” “Alright. Tell me how much you pay for the washing machines. I’ll split with you.” Serenity could not let him foot the

    “Let’s go.” Zachary drew close and faintly uttered. “Kay.” Serenity went with him. As the couple walked together without a word, Serenity wanted to make conversation. However, that ever solemn and tensed face with an invisible “keep out” sign on that forehead of his was off-putting. His talent would go to waste if he did not become a school teacher. With a face like that, he could easily keep the children in check. A short while later, they arrived at the market. Serenity directed Zachary to park the car in an empty lot. After getting down from the car, she told him, “Come on. Let’s have breakfast.” Without a word, Zachary followed behind her. The great Zachary York was out of place for his first trip to the market, but he rolled with it and hid his discomfort from Serenity. The pair ordered a bagel sandwich each, and Serenity requested extra toppings for herself. Still, the bagel sandwich did not quell Serenity’s hunger. Zachary took his time with his food, observi

    Zachary watched as Serenity picked the flowers and haggled with the florist. She lowered the price by half from fifty bucks for a potted plant. Not to mention, she made it seem like the florist would not get a better deal than what she was offering. It was intriguing, to say the least. He was not one to look at the price tag or bargain when shopping. Too bad for the florist though because his wife could drive a hard bargain. The look on the florist’s face was priceless. After paying up, Serenity carried the flowerpots one by one into Zachary’s car. At first, Zachary stood by the car and watched but later realized he was standing out for the wrong reasons as the girl was doing the heavy lifting herself. He then helped Serenity transport the flowers until his vehicle was filled to the brim. It was a good thing the florist gave them some flattened cardboard to lay on the seats. That was better than getting his seats soiled. “Do you need anything else?” Zachary asked his wife a

    Serenity figured senior white collars like Zachary could enjoy a special privilege or two. Pulling out the debit card, Serenity gave it to Zachary and urged, “Don’t forget to bargain the price to half with the florist.” Zachary stuffed the debit card back into her hands. “I have money.” Serenity looked at him curiously and left the subject at that. Since she had to get to her sister’s place, Serenity reminded Zachary to get the best deals before grabbing her keys and rushed out. Unbeknownst to her, her man waited until she was gone before taking a short video of the balcony to send it to the Yorks’ estate’s head gardener, Henry. It did not take long for Henry to return the call. “Sir.” “You’ve seen the video, Henry. How many pots of flowers do you think I need to turn the balcony into a mini garden? Pick a few cheaper ones in your greenhouse. I’m looking for the fast-growing kind with huge and intricate petals. Deliver them to unit 808 on the eighth floor of block B at

    “A bit of breakfast won’t hurt the bank. Liberty, I won’t overdo it.” Serenity had adequate income to help her sister, but she would not pour her entire paycheck into doing it as she had her mind set on becoming a homeowner. “Has Sonny eaten?” Serenity asked while feeling Sonny’s temperature. His body temperature was in the normal range. “He had milk. I have chicken soup simmering on the stove. I’ll feed him some later when it’s ready.” Liberty took excellent care of her son. “Zachary will be home in two days. His parents will be visiting this Saturday. Come to Brynfield with Hank on the same day for dinner with the family. Can you let him know about this?” Liberty asked happily, “Is your husband coming back from his business trip?” “He said he’ll be back Friday night.” “Alright. I’ll keep my husband in the loop.” Liberty had a clear idea of why her sister decided to get married. Although she went along with Serenity’s lie, Liberty had her concerns about Serenity’s

    “I’ll still try my best to convince them to leave. One of these days, I’ll go meet my father and my two sisters-in-law, and get them to try to persuade my brothers. If they still refuse to listen, then there’s nothing else I can do.”“You should do whatever you think is right. I’ll leave them alone as long as they don’t appear before me.”It was not that Caroline did not care about her brothers; it was them who did not value the relationship. What else could she do? Liberty said, “I’m not the kind of person who would harm the innocent. As long as they stay honest and don’t get involved in any schemes or underhanded tactics, and leave Jensburg for the Clark hometown, I’ll only take half of what they currently have.” She would leave half of the assets for Adrian and the others. They would not starve, and this way, she was still showing Caroline some respect.“They won’t give up easily. They’ll still try to make trouble. You taking only half of their assets is already showing mer

    Duncan had been so insistent on marrying no one but Liberty that his current temporary cripple was the result of his conflict with his parents. He had sacrificed his legs in exchange for their consent, but who knew whether his parents truly accepted Liberty or were just pretending to?“They’re very good to me, and they’ve accepted Sonny. It’s not that they don’t want to take care of him—, it’s Sonny who wants to stay with Seren.” Liberty explained, "My in-laws tried to persuade Sonny to stay with them for several days, but they didn’t manage to.“Ever since Sonny was born, it’s mostly been Seren looking after him. During the most difficult times, Seren helped me a lot too, so when I’m not home, Sonny prefers to be with her. No matter how good others are to him, he still chooses to stay with her.”Duncan loved Sonny like his own child, but if Liberty was not in Wiltspoon, Sonny would not want to stay with Duncan. He preferred to stay with his aunt.“That’s good, then.”As long as

    Then there was her mother, who had committed countless evil deeds. It was likely that Liberty and the others would not pay respects to Belinda, as she was an enemy of Liberty’s branch of the family. No matter how magnanimous Liberty was, she would not go as far as to visit the grave of her enemy. Therefore, Caroline needed to come back herself to pay respects to her mother, to ensure that her mother’s grave would not be neglected. This was her duty as a daughter. Her mother had committed many sins, but she was still her mother.“Anyway, I’ll also be back to attend your wedding to Mr. Lewis. Technically, I’m still your elder.”Caroline smiled as she extended her belated blessings. “Liberty, I wish you and Mr. Lewis a lifetime of happiness. Mr. Lewis loves you dearly. You two will definitely be very happy together.”Duncan was such an outstanding person in his own right but was willing to marry into the Fisher family for Liberty. This truly broke the previous streak of the matri

    Liberty liked people who got things done. As for the senior executives present, it was unclear what they were thinking, but those who liked to bootlick and had no real skills were certainly nervous inside.When a new official took office, they often would make changes. Liberty, as the new head, would certainly make her own impact that definitely entailed even more than just a few changes, possibly a dozen.After all, Fisher Enterprise was the property of the Fisher family. It was not publicly listed, and 100% of the shares belonged to the family, with the head of the family controlling everything. Thus, the matriarch held absolute authority in the company. In the past, the elders of the family could still intervene in the company affairs, but after Belinda took over, she gradually sidelined the elders. Those who were capable of opposing her were secretly harmed and even killed, while the remaining elders lacked the courage and ability to challenge her.Hence, now, the CEO held ab

    They were well aware of how strong Darren was. He could fend all three of them off one-handed.Darren was also fiercely loyal to Caroline. If they dared to lay a finger on Caroline, even if they ran away to the ends of the earth, Darren had the ability to track them down and avenge her.He was unwaveringly loyal just like Mr. Gordon, who had been devoted to Belinda his whole life. When she passed away, Mr. Gordon followed soon after. Truly, not even death could part them.Jason was dragged away by Adrian, still muttering curses under his breath. After the Clark brothers left, the meeting room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Caroline looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone else have anything to say?”Everyone glanced around at each other. One of the executives of the company took the lead and said, “We’re merely employees of Fisher Enterprise, not members of the Fisher family. Family affairs are beyond our scope.”The elders of the family, recognizing th

    What Belinda actually cared about the most was the Fisher family. She did not want her family to disappear from the circle of aristocratic and wealthy families in Jensburg, so even though Celine was not all that capable, Belinda still devoted herself to nurturing her. It was not until she found out that Celine was not her biological daughter and the two swapped children returned to their rightful places that she gradually recognized Caroline's abilities. Only then did she understand why the family rules had been set up that way—Caroline really was far more capable than Celine.The only regret she had was that Caroline did not grow up by her side, so their values and opinions were different. Before her death, Belinda already knew that Caroline did not want to take over the Fisher family, but had no choice but to do so. When the truth came to light, Caroline was the one who felt the most relieved because it meant she no longer had to take over the family business and could return ev

    “That’s right. We don’t think there’s an issue with Liberty taking over.”Other elders were of the same opinion. Adrian, Justin, and Josh were exasperated. Their hope of having the elders on their side seemed to have vanished.“Let’s pause the meeting and talk outside, Caroline.”Adrian was out of options.Caroline said coldly, “You three are able to attend this meeting not because you’re Mom’s sons, but because you’re senior managers of Fisher Enterprise.“You have no right to interfere with the Fisher family’s internal affairs.“There’s nothing else to talk about. We had many conversations last year, and I’ve stated my stance in each of them. I won’t take anything that doesn’t belong to me. If Mom had succeeded Aunt Tiara or inherited the position from our grandmother, I wouldn't be handing the position of matriarch to someone else today.“However, that wasn’t the case. You all know the entire process of how Mom became the matriarch. She had committed grave sins. We should

    Justin seconded his brother’s statement.Liberty looked toward the Clark brothers. They were the ones who were most unsatisfied with Caroline’s decision. Liberty said, “I’ve already changed my surname. Since my mom is a Fisher, I’m one too.”She had become Liberty Fisher. Liberty had taken on her mother’s surname and became the successor of the Fisher family.Serenity was still a Hunt. There was no need for her to change her surname.“The position of matriarch should’ve gone to my aunt or mom. However, your mother killed my grandmother, Tiara, and caused Aunt Audrey and my mom to be unable to return home. They lost their parents and had their families destroyed. Meanwhile, your mother took everything as her own.“Belinda had paid for the sins she had committed against my grandmother. Everything shall return to normal. Naturally, Tiara’s descendants should be the ones to take over the Fisher family and become the matriarch.”Liberty retorted Adrian’s statement, “Do you have an

    Meanwhile, in Jensburg, the conference room located on the top floor of Fisher Enterprise was filled with the senior managers of the company.Over ten elders of the Fisher family were also present.They were of the same generation as Audrey and were much older than Liberty.Caroline and Liberty were seated at the head of the table. Darren was beside them. The three Clark brothers were present as well.If a gaze could kill, they would have killed Caroline and Liberty many times over.Their hatred toward Caroline ran deep.They had begged and persuaded her, but she refused to listen to them. She insisted on handing the company and everything that belonged to the Fisher family to Liberty.She said the Fisher family members had already lost confidence in them.So what?When their mother was the matriarch, she had already gathered eighty percent of the shares through her continuous effort.It allowed the matriarch to have the final say no matter what.The older generation in the
