Mike hung up the phone, ignoring his aunt’s 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 Serenity’s backer must be someone powerful in Wiltspoon. Through their investigation, Mike also did not notice that Serenity and Liberty knew any influential figures.Although Liberty’s husband was a manager in a large company, he was just an employee. Mike had no idea what kind of job Serenity’s husband had for a living, but he found out from the townspeople that Serenity’s husband only drove a national car worth around one hundred and twenty thousand dollars.Any of the Hunts’ scooters was better than the car belonging to Serenity’s husband.This showed that Serenity’s husband was not doing so well.If Mike were to guess who Serenity’s backer wa

Zachary’s exclusive car drove away from the entrance of York Corporation. Jim only let go of Elisa after Zachary’s car was out of sight.Elisa turned around to slap Jim.Jim quickly grabbed her wrist and warned her with a cold expression, “Ms. Stone, I don’t discriminate between men and women in a fight.”“Let me go! I dare you to hit me!”Jim flung Elisa’s hand away fiercely and said coldly, “I won’t hit you if you don’t hit me. Ms. Stone, if you’re rude to me, I’ll treat you the way you treat me.”Although 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.“You!”Elisa was shocked by Jim’s 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

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. “Wash your hands and help me bring the dishes out. They’re ready to serve.”Zachary neither refused nor explicitly agreed. He pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, “Why did you buy so much seafood?”That 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.“How much did they cost? I’ll transfer the money to you later. I agreed to pay for the living expenses.”Serenity turned to look at the seafood feast she prepared. She then smiled and explained, “It didn’t 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

Seeing that Zachary had not left yet, Serenity turned his head and asked him, “What’s wrong?”Zachary pursed his lips and said, “Nothing… I’ll go back to the office first.”“Okay.” Serenity responded casually, then turned her head back to cleaning the dishes.After taking a long stare at Serenity’s back, Zachary turned around and walked out of the kitchen.Grandma May was playing with Sonny. When she saw her grandson coming out of the kitchen, she looked displeased and said, “Zack, why didn’t you help Serenity with the dishes? She has been busy all morning and must be very tired.”The York men loved their wives dearly. Grandma May saw that her sons were considerate and fond of her daughters-in-law.So why was it that her grandson was so inconsiderate to her granddaughter-in-law?“Serenity doesn’t need my help. Nana, I’ll head back to the office,” Zachary said in a low voice and walked past his grandmother.The old lady opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Zachary h

“Liberty's fat and ugly. She’ll only embarrass me if I take her there. Everyone will laugh at me.”After Hank finished speaking, he pinched Jessica’s pretty face and praised her, “How can she compare to you, Jessica? You’re the apple of my eye now, and I don’t have any feelings for her anymore.“I can’t forgive her for chasing me down the block with a kitchen knife. Although she apologized and treated me better than before, I just couldn’t forgive her. If I didn’t run fast enough that day, she would’ve stabbed me to death!“She’s vicious. I’ve known her for so many years and only realized how vicious she was that day. If it wasn’t for Sonny, I wouldn’t want to go back to that house. Besides, my mother and my sister mentioned that I bought the house before marriage where I paid the down payment and am paying the mortgage, so why should I let her live there?“She doesn’t have a good relationship with my family. Jessica, you’ve met my parents and sister. What do you think of them?”J
