“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

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

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

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

“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
