โItโs a pair of phoenixes, a male and a female.โSerenity got up and walked to the big box where she stored her crafts to bring out a delicate and beautiful box. She placed the box in front of Elisa and said, โTheyโre inside.โElisa opened the box and retrieved two well-woven phoenixes from it, and complimented, โTheyโre so lifelike. Serenity, your hands are amazing. How much are these phoenixes? Iโll buy them.โโWeโre close, and you think of me as a friend, so Iโll just charge you the cost for the materials.โElisa placed the two phoenixes back into the box and said, โItโs precisely because weโre friends that I canโt take advantage of you. Iโll pay however much itโs worth. I canโt just pay you for the cost of the materials. Iโve seen the price of your goods on the online store. I donโt remember the exact number, but these two phoenixes seem to cost a few hundred.โShe took out her purse from her Hermรจs bag and withdrew a small stack of cash. Without even counting, she shoved the

In a hotel not far from Wiltspoon Hospital, Noah Huntโs parents knocked on the room door of the eldest son of the Hunt family, Stuart Hunt.When Stuart opened the door and saw his youngest brother with his wife looking worried, he asked with concern, โDavid, what happened? You two donโt look very good.โโStuart, Noah hasnโt come back since he went out yesterday. Weโre worried something mightโve happened to him.โNoahโs father was the youngest among the Hunt siblings, and his parents loved him the most, so they gave him the name David, which meant beloved.โDid Noah say what he was doing?โ As the eldest of the Hunt family, Stuart was good at maintaining his composure.David hesitated for a moment and said, Noah said he was going to settle the score with Serenity and make her pay for Momโs medical bills, but he hasnโt returned since he went out yesterday. His cell phone is turned off too.โNoahโs family did not know that he was being detained in the police station now, and his phon

โSure, letโs call them.โStuart also felt that it was better to have more people on their side and agreed with David to call his son and nephew.Unexpectedly, when David called his eldest nephew, Mike, he received news from Mike instead. โUncle David, I was just about to call you. Something happened to Noah.โDavidโs face turned ashen, and he quickly asked, โWhat happened to Noah? He said he went to ask Serenity for money. Did she beat him up? If that damned girl dares to touch a single hair on my boy, Iโll end her! Iโll go back and dig up her motherโs grave!โSerenityโs father was Davidโs third brother, so David would not dig up his grave. However, his third sister-in-law was not related to him by blood. Since Serenity angered him, he would dig up his third sister-in-lawโs grave for real.โNoah brought a few punks to intercept Serenityโs car in the middle of the night. They also brought iron bars and wanted to smash her car, but she fought back. The punks and Noah are being detai

Mike hung up the phone, ignoring his auntโs scolding.He then let out a long sigh.He seriously felt he was unlucky because Serenity was unharmed even after he got help from so many people.Mike also felt that Serenity had a backer, but he did not know who that was.None of the mediators were willing to help Mike, which indicated that Serenityโs backer must be someone powerful in Wiltspoon. Through their investigation, Mike also did not notice that Serenity and Liberty knew any influential figures.Although Libertyโs husband was a manager in a large company, he was just an employee. Mike had no idea what kind of job Serenityโs husband had for a living, but he found out from the townspeople that Serenityโs husband only drove a national car worth around one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.Any of the Huntsโ scooters was better than the car belonging to Serenityโs husband.This showed that Serenityโs husband was not doing so well.If Mike were to guess who Serenityโs backer wa

Liberty returned to the bookstore and had another unsuccessful day at job hunting.Zachary was speechless when he heard what his grandmother told him.His grandmother sounded like she was gloating.โI wonโt talk nonsense with you. Just come over for lunch now. Otherwise, Iโll tell Serenity that youโre the heir to York Corporation! Donโt try me. I found you a way to break this stalemate, but you donโt want to budge. By the way, Iโll tell you another secret. The gift that Elisa wants to give you is from Serenity. Youโll only know what it is when you accept it.โZacharyโs face turned even darker.His grandmother promised him that she would not interfere in his affairs with Serenity, but she threatened him by saying she would reveal his real identity to Serenity.Zachary hung up the call, but Grandma May did not care. She was also about to end the call anyway.โMr. York, Ms. Stone refuses to give way,โ the driver turned his head and said to Zachary.Zachary was silent for a minute.

Zacharyโs exclusive car drove away from the entrance of York Corporation. Jim only let go of Elisa after Zacharyโs car was out of sight.Elisa turned around to slap Jim.Jim quickly grabbed her wrist and warned her with a cold expression, โMs. Stone, I donโt discriminate between men and women in a fight.โโLet me go! I dare you to hit me!โJim flung Elisaโs hand away fiercely and said coldly, โI wonโt hit you if you donโt hit me. Ms. Stone, if youโre rude to me, Iโll treat you the way you treat me.โAlthough Jim was a bodyguard, he did not feel inferior to others.His boss treated the bodyguards like brothers.If Elisa used her identity to threaten and hit Jim, Jim would not be polite to her.โYou!โElisa was shocked by Jimโs cold attitude. Unlike Serenity, Elisa did not know martial arts. She only used her status to act as she pleased in Wiltspoon and had never met another young lady who was more powerful than her. That was why Elisa could do whatever she wanted.Jim was not

โZack, youโre here!โGrandma May came out of the store when she heard the sound of a car outside. She saw her grandson and walked over with a smile. Seeing that his grandson got out of the car empty-handed, she lowered her voice in dissatisfaction and said, โYou came here like this?โโHow else should I show up?โGrandma May was speechless.Zachary was truly an unromantic blockhead!Grandma May had to be the bad guy and nagged Zachary for two to three months, which annoyed him so much that he promised to marry Serenity, ending his bachelorhood. Otherwise, with his personality, Zachary would probably still be a bachelor in his forties.โDonโt you know how to buy a bunch of flowers or some gifts for Serenity?โโShe doesnโt need it. The balcony at home is full of flowers. She can enjoy them whenever she likes.โGrandma May wanted to kick Zachary, but she held back.That was because if she kicked her biological grandson, she would feel heartbroken too.โZacharyโs here.โLiberty s

Zachary quietly looked at Serenity.He had not seen her for two days and suddenly felt that he liked seeing her face.The couple stared at each other.In the end, Serenity broke the silence. โWash your hands and help me bring the dishes out. Theyโre ready to serve.โZachary neither refused nor explicitly agreed. He pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, โWhy did you buy so much seafood?โThat was because he did not receive any notice of expenditure from the bank. Did Serenity buy all the seafood from her own pockets?Although they were at an impasse, Zachary still felt that it was his duty as a husband to support the family.โHow much did they cost? Iโll transfer the money to you later. I agreed to pay for the living expenses.โSerenity turned to look at the seafood feast she prepared. She then smiled and explained, โIt didnโt cost a cent. Ms. Stone brought these back from her beach vacation and gave me aplenty. When you send Nana home later, you can bring some back t

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.โHowโs Sonny been lately?โLiberty 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.โSame as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.โSerenity added, โSonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesnโt seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesnโt like going to the Brownsโ place, and he doesnโt want to take their calls either.โHankโs mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why heโs upset with them.โDuring 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.โBabe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Donโt worry too much,โ Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.โYou are my rock. If even you are nervous, Iโll start feeling anxious too, and that wonโt be good.โHearing this, Zachary immediately said, โSeren, donโt worry. Iโll protect both of you. Alright, I wonโt be so nervous anymore.โHe gently touched her rounded belly again. โLilโ Bun should be a calm kid. Heโs not that mischievous.โHe felt that the babyโs 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

โJust hit the gym a few more times. Lately, youโve been spending less time there.โEvery 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.โOw.โ Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, โIs it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Letโs go to the hospital right away.โHe was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.โDonโt be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. Itโs not happening so soon. Itโs just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.โAs 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.

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 Serenityโs 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 Zacharyโs eyes, his wifeโs 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

โYou should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.โ Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, โThere were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldnโt eliminate them all at once.โBack 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 familyโs 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

Has there been any progress?โTony was still in Carrieโs 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 mistressโa 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. Longbottomโs place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.โIsa, youโre always so busy and exhausted. If youโre 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. Itโs the same either way.โTati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tatiโs kind offer.She said, โNot today. Thereโs an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. Iโm fine, really. Donโt worry. From now on, I wonโt touch alcohol.โGiven 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 someoneโs 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, โItโs all thanks to Ms. Isabellaโs guidance.โHe 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.โAfter eating the sweets, I feel much better.โ 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.โJust ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?โIsabella added calmly to Tati, โIf you let him provoke you, heโll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesnโt exist and donโt respond no matter what he does, heโll naturally give up once he sees that youโre completely unresponsive.โTati said, โIโm afraid that heโll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesnโt get anywhere with me. They donโt have the same resolve as we do.โShe, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.โEvery time I see hi
