Kevin unleashed his clinginess and chased after Hayden. Everyone looked at the two of them, but no one dared to interfere in their affair. Hayden’s admirers hated Kevin very much. They watched the whole night as the shameless man pestered Hayden. Hayden went straight to the host to apologize. She said, “Mr. Williams, I’m sorry, but I have something to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself first.” Mr. Williams knew Hayden was annoyed by Kevin’s pestering, which had become everyone’s topic. She was patient to have held out for so long and was only leaving now. He said understandingly, “Mr. Hayden, your business is more important. Go on ahead.” In the end, he added, “I can understand you, Mr. Hayden.” Hayden nodded gratefully and walked out of her family’s hotel with her bodyguards. Hugh was reluctant to leave. He scurried to Hayden’s side and asked as he followed, “Bro, you’re going back now? The party isn’t over yet.” “If you don’t want to go back, you can wait until it is
Kevin did not chase after Hayden. He stood at the hotel entrance and waved at her with a smile, saying, “Mr. Hayden, see you tomorrow.” Hayden cursed internally, ‘If possible, I’d like to never see you again.’ After Hayden left, Kevin stood in place for a moment and wanted to head back into the hotel. However, as he turned around, he saw Madam Fisher exiting the hotel with her two daughters as well as her son and daughter-in-law.Mr. Williams saw them off with a few people. “Madam Fisher.” Out of courtesy and the fact that Madam Fisher was an elder, Kevin greeted her politely. Madam Fisher responded with a smile, “Mr. Kevin, are you leaving too?” “Yes, I’m slightly drunk from drinking too much, so I’m getting ready to go back to the hotel to rest.” Kevin looked at Caroline. Madam Fisher duly and officially introduced her biological daughter to him. Kevin and Caroline politely shook hands. Madam Fisher did not introduce Celine, who was beside her, and Kevin also did
Zachary said with certainty, “Impossible! My mother-in-law also has a sister only, and her sister is Aunt Audrey. We all know how many children she has. Apart from Elisa, Serenity has no other cousin sisters.” “If we’re talking about the generation before her, which is Mrs. Stone’s generation, does she have other sisters?” Kevin asked. Zachary answered, “Aunt Audrey said that it was only her and her sister. Their parents and family passed away, and only the two of them are alive. They were sent to the orphanage because they had no relatives.” Kevin was speechless. “Kev, did you say it was a daughter of the Fishers?” Zachary finally caught the point. “Yes, Caroline Fisher. There’s a lot to talk about the Fishers, and it might take days to finish everything, so I won’t tell you much. In short, Caroline is Madam Fisher’s biological daughter but was switched at birth by their evil housekeeper. The housekeeper’s daughter became the Fishers’ daughter instead, and is now known as
In any case, Kevin would pursue Hayden. Tough women were afraid of clingy men. The more Kevin clung to Hayden, she would become his wife. From Zachary and Callum’s success stories, Kevin firmly believed that as long as he was sincere and thick-faced enough, he would be able to win the maiden’s heart. Zachary laughed. “She has been pretending to be a man for over twenty years and has never been discovered. Now that you’re suddenly pursuing her, it’s very normal for her to hate you since she’s not mentally prepared. It’s only because she’s mentally strong that she’s not scared by you.” “It was Serenity and Callum’s advice.” Zachary chuckled and asked, “Did it work?” “It worked quite well because the problem was solved. Zack, I can now confirm that Hayden is a woman.” “Nana would never trick us. Hayden must be a woman. How could Nana arrange a man for you?” Zachary, who had been tricked by his nana multiple times, had forgotten the times he was tricked by her. He put in
“What is it?” Serenity casually asked. “It’s something related to your birth.” Serenity asked with a smile, “What else is there to my birth? I was born to my parents, and my dad was also born to my grandpa. A paternity test was also done. My mom and my aunt are sisters by blood, and I also had a DNA test done with my aunt.” Her birth was simple, so what else could be involved? “I’ll tell you in detail when you’re back. In any case, it’s related to your birth.” Zachary deliberately kept his beloved wife in suspense. It would be best if she could not resist her curiosity and fly back tomorrow morning, no, tonight, to be with him. “Okay, tell me when I’m back then. I’d like to know what else there is to my birth.” Serenity was not curious at all. This was because she knew her birth very well and that she was definitely her parents’ daughter! “For all you know, it’s going to be something huge.” Serenity responded, “Make up all you want. As outrageous as you make it soun
Jasmine replied, “I didn’t take the pictures. Someone saw them on that woman’s Facebook. They took screenshots and sent them to Josh. Josh was shocked after seeing them. Initially, he didn’t want to let me find out about it.“However, I still found out and quickly sent the pictures to you to verify whether the man is Zachary. I think the man’s silhouette does look like him.”Serenity thought, ‘Does anyone from Jenna’s social circle know Zachary?’However, considering the Daniels family’s wealth and status, she did not find it surprising. She said, “From the figure and his back, he does look like my Zachary. Even their side profiles look alike. I can’t confirm whether that’s Zachary, but logically speaking, he won’t cheat on me.“I remember that woman vaguely. She looks like the only daughter of Daniels Group’s CEO, Jenna Daniels.”Upon hearing that, Jasmine immediately said, “Seren, this man might really be Zachary. Josh mentioned York Corporation and Daniels Group were working
“Jenna’s my love rival. Leave it to me to deal with her. The project was handed to someone else to follow up afterward. Zachary stopped handling it. He also complained to Mr. Daniels about Jenna.“Zachary never saw Jenna for a long time after that. He said Mr. Daniels would manage his daughter, but Jenna still came to look for me. I think Mr. Daniels didn’t know about this. Otherwise, Jenna wouldn’t have stood me up and left Wiltspoon overnight.”After listening to her best friend, Jasmine let out a long breath of relief and smiled. She said, “I feel more at ease after hearing that from you. That man is definitely not Zachary. It has been a tough journey for you two to have come this far.“Zachary loves and dotes on you so much. If his love and adoration for you were fake, I wouldn’t believe in love anymore.”Based on Zachary’s personality, it was true that he would not cheat on his wife. He was not someone like that. “This may be Jenna’s scheme or an accident. She might’ve fou
“The milk is ready,” Josh said as he sat beside his wife.Jasmine lifted the glass and said, “Seren believes in Zachary. She recognized the woman in the picture. She said it was the daughter of Daniels Group. The woman’s name is Jenna Daniels.“That woman is so shameless. Zachary and Seren are having their wedding in a month. They’ve gotten their marriage license for a year. Wiltspoonians aside, anyone in contact with your company knows that Zachary is married and even spoils his wife a lot.“Jenna even dared to go to Seren’s house to talk to her. I dare say she must’ve told Seren that she doesn’t deserve Zachary and to leave him. I don’t know who gave her the courage to utter those words to Seren.“How is Seren not enough for Zachary? Even if her family background can’t compare to the Yorks’, Zachary and his family didn’t mind it and accepted her. Those who kept commenting on it had nothing better to do. They were just jealous.”Josh said gently, “It’s good that you understand. D
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
