Chapter 742

Author: Gu Lingfei
“That really opened up my eyes. They’re not marrying their daughter off but selling her. If they want us to give so much for the bride price, they should give at least a few hundred thousand as the dowry as well. Instead, they’ll only give us a few bedding sets and an e-bike! An e-bike!

“She’s no match for your sister. Your sister shelled out hundreds of thousands for the house renovation. You were still a freshman when your sister and Hank got married, but you used all your assets to buy your sister furniture as her dowry. However, Jessica didn’t pay a penny. She only knows how to spend Hank’s money.”

Serenity sneered in her heart. ‘My sister is better than Jessica, but Hank still cheated on her.

‘The Brown family deserves someone like Jessica.

‘Now that the Browns have met the Yates family, who are even more selfish than they are... Hehe. Their lives will soon be filled with excitement.

‘I really want to live near them so I can watch the drama unfold between their families every

    After chasing Olivia away, Serenity said to her sister, “If she ever comes again, don’t let her in. Just move a stool and sit at the door, make a pot of tea, and enjoy some snacks.“Think of her chatter as watching a good show.”As Zachary said, there was no need to bother themselves with Olivia if she did not come to take Sonny away. Only by listening to her complaints could they find out how Hank and Jessica were doing.“I don’t even want to listen to her.”Liberty used her actions to prove that she really did not want anything to do with her former mother-in-law.No one knew what Olivia was thinking about coming over once every couple of days to vent to Liberty.By logic, Olivia should be afraid to let Liberty know that their family was in shambles. Yet, she took the initiative to come over and update Liberty about her son and Jessica.Did she think Liberty would change her mind?It was laughable.“What are you cooking, Seren? I smell something burning.”“Oh! My dish!”Se

    Jasmine and Drake looked fairly alike with both having attractive physical appearances. Drake was still young and could pass off as a high school student.“That can’t be. At first, everyone thought Mr. York might like men but that was false too. He even has a wife now.”Jasmine whispered, “Maybe it’s because Josh is treating my brother exceptionally well. He basically spoils Drake. He’s even willing to lend Drake his most beloved sports car. You know there are two things in this world that men will never share—his car and his wife.“I just think that, well, Josh has feelings for my brother. Help me ask. If he really swings the other way, I can’t let him approach Drake again in the future.”Serenity was speechless. “Why haven’t you considered that Mr. Bucham carried an ulterior motive? His true target is you.”Josh wanted to appeal to Drake and get him to help.For example, if he invited Drake to dinner, Jasmine might follow because she felt worried.Jasmine was at a loss for wor

    “I dare say the whole of Wiltspoon is gossiping about it, wanting to know the true face of Mr. York’s wife and how she won his heart.”Jasmine laughed and added, “I think everyone wants to learn from her on how to conquer men. Mr. York was notoriously difficult to take down, but she succeeded, which means she’s the best among us women. We can learn from her the art of managing our husbands.“Especially you, Seren. You already have a husband, and your man is too handsome. There must be many people outside who adore him. If it weren’t for his long face and serious expression all day, there would be admirers provoking you every day.“You have to learn how to control your husband well from Mrs. York so your husband will only love you in his life and not cheat.”Serenity paused before agreeing, “You’re right. I have to protect my man. I wonder if we’ll be able to meet Mrs. York.”“We should be able to see her if we arrive early. With Mr. Bucham’s status, I think we can ride on his coat

    Zachary took Serenity’s hand and said in a low voice, “Seren, you look stunning tonight. Come, I’ll take you inside.”Serenity greeted Josh with a nod before following Zachary into the building.Josh wanted to take the Sox siblings in, but Drake refused and said, “This is your company’s annual dinner. I don’t work here, and I’m not a woman, so I can’t be your companion. I won’t go in.“I’ll return to take my sister home when dinner is over.”Josh did not want Drake to follow, but he was not obvious about it. Instead, he repeatedly persuaded Drake to come in together and was about to reach out to pull him.“Mr. Bucham, since Drake doesn’t want to go in, don’t force him. Drake, you go hang out with your friends and I’ll send you a message when I want you to come over.”Serenity mentioned that Josh approached Drake with an ulterior motive and his real target was her.However, when she saw Josh behaving enthusiastically about her brother, she could not help but still worry if Josh w

    Jasmine was rendered speechless by what Josh had just said.After a long while, she said, “Did I ask you that during our blind date? I can’t recall. I only remember you held a rose in your mouth and rode a bike there that day.“You even tried to give me the rose that you held in your mouth. Fortunately, I watched you arrive, or I would’ve accepted the rose. Speaking of which, you weren’t sincere at all. If you were, you would’ve told me then that you were from the Bucham family.”If she knew that Josh was from the mysterious Bucham family of Wiltspoon, she would never have gone on the blind date with him.Josh grumbled in his heart, ‘It was because I saw my boss conceal his identity to get married. Although he deceived his wife, he could examine her character. If Serenity fell in love with Zachary, he could be sure that she fell for him as a person, not because of his identity or status.’Therefore, Josh followed in Zachary’s footsteps.Later, when he saw how Zachary was afraid o

    Josh was speechless.Zachary and Serenity, who were walking in front of them, were exchanging sweet nothings.Realizing that Josh and Jasmine were not following, Serenity turned her head and noticed that the pair seemed to be arguing. “Zachary, why do Mr. Bucham and Jasmine look like they’re fighting?”Zachary glanced at his friend and said lightly, “No, Mr. Bucham has a good temper.”If the people who were suppressed by Josh before were present, they would be speechless right now.If Josh’s temper was labeled good, there would be no one in this world with a bad temper.“Don’t mind them. Let’s go.”Zachary let Serenity continue holding his arm. The couple was very close.“Zachary, will your CEO’s wife be coming as well?”“Why?”“Nothing. I just wanted to see her. I wonder if I’ll have a chance to talk to her.”She had to befriend Mrs. York first before she could ask her about her husband-managing skills.Zachary said calmly, “You’re a step too late. Our CEO and his wife l

    Zachary chuckled softly. “I’ll become a wolf at home.”Serenity squeezed the back of his hand lightly, but he dotingly pulled her hand up and kissed the back of her hand.When she was about to pinch him again, he suddenly led her forward with a straight face, making her too embarrassed to pinch him again.No one in York Corporation was surprised that Zachary appeared at the annual dinner with Serenity this year. All the executives were polite to Serenity.However, Josh’s female companion this year was switched to Jasmine, whose last name was not Bucham. This surprised everyone.The female employees who adored Josh were very sharp. When they heard Josh introduce Jasmine, they guessed she was the person Josh liked, and with eyes filled with envy and jealousy, they looked at Jasmine.Mr. Bucham actually had a lady he fancied!He was following in Mr. York’s footsteps.Although everyone looked at Jasmine with jealousy, no one dared provoke her openly mainly because they were afraid

    “Seren, I might have to go on a business trip.”Serenity looked up while still in his arms and asked in confusion, “It’s only a few days till your company’s annual break, but you have to go on a business trip?”“It’s a short one to Annenburg. I’ll be back in a couple of days.”Zachary bowed his head and kissed her forehead. His dark eyes burned as they locked on her pretty face, and he asked in a low voice, “Miss me already?”“When are you leaving? I’ll help you pack your bags and send you to the airport.”Zachary was speechless.He thought she would miss him, but she was just confirming whether he was really going on a business trip. She then happily offered to pack his luggage and drive him to the airport. She did not even ask what the business trip was for.Zachary felt depressed.The couple tangled under the sheets several times already, so he thought their feelings were different now.However, it only seemed to be slightly better than before. She was not clingy toward him

    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

    It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s 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 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
