Hayden gave it some thought and said, “I think Caroline’s not bad.”The Fishers and Queens were compatible in terms of social status. Caroline was the Fisher family’s real daughter too. Although she had been switched at birth by a butler with evil intentions, which caused her to have grown up in the butler’s hometown, she still had the Fishers’ blood in her. Although the Fisher family was not big, they were a reputable and extravagant family. Even if Caroline had grown up in a harsh environment, it could not conceal her natural elegance. A year ago, she was found by her biological parents. The real and fake daughters’ identities were swapped back. However, the fake daughter had been raised in the Fisher family since she was young. She was well-loved by her parents and brothers. Although her biological father was fired and chased out of the Fishers’ house because of the exposed truth, the fake daughter stayed with the Fishers. The Fishers took her in as their goddaughter. Upo
If Caroline were to take over the Fisher family, her husband would have to marry into the family. Hugh did not want to be a live-in son-in-law. Hayden was speechless. She had neglected that point. The husbands of the Fisher household’s leaders had always married into the family instead of the bride joining the groom’s family. …Meanwhile, at the Danielses’ residence, Alvin was sitting on the sofa in the luxurious living room, reading a newspaper with his legs crossed. At that moment, a man clothed in black walked over. He went to Alvin’s side and whispered, “Mr. Alvin, we’ve found out Ms. Jenna’s true reason for secretly going to Wiltspoon.”Alvin continued reading the newspaper. He said indifferently, “What’s the reason?”The man lowered his voice further. He said softly, “Ms. Jenna fell in love with Mr. Zachary York at first sight. She’s trying to break the couple up and replace his wife. On the night you went to Wiltspoon to bring her back, she had gone to Mr. York’s
Alvin’s gaze darkened. After some thought, he whispered, “Find someone who looks similar to Zachary in the country. If you find him, give him some training and arrange for him to meet Jenna. Jenna’s clever, so she’ll know what to do.“If you can’t find someone with similar looks, get someone with a similar build. That’s useful too.”Since Zachary was impenetrable, they would have to start with Serenity. Based on Serenity’s personality, if she were to misunderstand Zachary and thought he cheated on her with a mistress, she would definitely suggest a divorce. Zachary loved his wife as if she was his life. He would refuse to get a divorce. He would not be wronged and investigate the matter thoroughly. By that time, Jenna would get into trouble.If Jenna were unlucky, Uncle Edwin would probably be so angry that he would chase her out of Daniels Group. If so, Daniels Group would belong to him, Alvin. “Okay.”“Do it now. However, you must be cautious and remember not to leave tra
Since Duncan decided not to give up on Liberty, Zachary was more than happy to give his best bud a boost and create an opportunity for them to spend time together. After thinking, Liberty said, “I might not be available so soon. If you’re willing to wait here for a moment, Mr. Lewis, I can give you a ride home later.”Duncan immediately said, “It’s okay. I can wait. You can give me a ride after you’re done with your matters. I have nothing to do if I go home anyway. If I stay here, I can even help you to keep an eye on the renovation process.”He could provide Liberty with many ideas too. “Zachary, you can go and handle whatever you have to. Don’t delay it because of me.”Duncan urged Zachary to leave quickly and hand him over to Liberty. No matter how busy Liberty was, she would have to take time out to give him a ride. That way, he would be able to spend more time with her. Although he was in a wheelchair, he could still woo his wife. He would do his best to recuperate and
‘Why is there a sound of a baby crying next to Serenity?’ Zachary wondered. “Babe, you should go and get busy. I’ll be hanging up now. Just wait for me to go home.” When Serenity heard her godson crying, she did not want her husband anymore and immediately hung up the phone. Serenity was in FC Manor at the moment. She had acknowledged Jane’s children as her godchildren. In her words, she wanted to be blessed with Jane’s good fortune so she could also be pregnant with a pigeon pair in the future, bearing two precious ones at the same time and having a son and a daughter. Serenity was afraid that Zachary could guess that she was in FC Manor, so she hurriedly ended the call. Zachary guessed it indeed. He sourly muttered to himself, “She went to FC Manor to see the kids. How could she not ask me along? I miss my godchildren very much too.” Zachary particularly liked his goddaughter. That little one was very well-behaved and rarely cried. On the contrary, her brother cried
“Sonny, isn’t this little girl adorable?” Grandma May asked Sonny as she stared at Chloe. “Yes, very cute. Great-grandma, when will I have a little sister too?” Sonny also wanted to touch the little girl, but Grandma May was worried that he could not control his force as he was young. She gently patted away his hand and said, “Don’t simply touch her. You’ll hurt the baby if you can’t control your force well. The baby’s skin is very tender.” “...Great-grandma, I haven’t even touched her. How do you know I’ll hurt her? You just don’t want me to touch her,” Sonny responded. Grandma May was touching the little girl here and there as though she was touching a rare treasure, but she would not let Sonny touch her. “Yes, yes, yes, I don’t want you to touch the little girl. I like her too much. How good would it be if she were my great-granddaughter?” Grandma May proceeded to touch Chloe’s small feet again. “Great-grandma, her feet are so small.” Grandma May replied to him witho
It had not been a year since Zachary and Serenity got their marriage license. It was almost September and they received their license in October. Moreover, they had only really been a married couple for half a year. Those people who said that Serenity was infertile were just jealous of her and deliberately wanted to rile her up and hurt her. Grandma May agreed with Jane. “That’s right. If you hear anyone say that about you again, Seren, slap them hard in the face. You don’t need to be afraid of offending anyone. As long as you’re not doing something illegal, no matter who it is, I can help you set things right. “Even if I can’t, you still have Zack. He can hold up the sky for you even if it falls.” Serenity said, “I didn’t hear those remarks myself; people I know just told me that Tom, Dick, and Harry said bad things about me behind my back again. If I heard it myself, I would’ve certainly slapped them hard in the face. “I don’t need them to worry about my affairs.” “Exactly.
“Grandma May, Seren, let’s go downstairs for lunch.” Jane invited the two and waved at Sonny. She said with a gentle smile, “Sonny, come, I’ll carry you.” Sonny looked at the two babies and then at the beautiful Aunt Jane. At last, he reluctantly walked toward Jane and said, “Aunt Jane, I’m grown up, so I don’t need to be carried.” Jane took his small hand. “Then I’ll hold you as we walk.” She said to Serenity, “Sonny is also a very well-behaved child. He’s much better than Connor. That boy cries every day and can compare to Lilian’s kid.” Dr. Lilian Carden’s son was born not too long ago. She was in confinement at the moment. When Callum knew Lilian had given birth, he quickly got someone to send her supplements. After all, she was his fiancée’s last hope to cure her eyes. Tim’s face was dark when he received the supplements sent by Callum. He put them in a corner. In any case, his wife did not lack supplements. They could not even finish the supplements at home, so why
Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain. When
With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the
People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe
Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f
Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m
“Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
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
