Grandma May said, “They don’t know what car I use, but they stopped your mother-in-law once, as well as your second aunt-in-law.”Seeing Serenity’s dark expression, she quickly comforted her. “We all know what kind of people they are. They’re asking for a bride price now, but their true intention is to disgust us with you so you’d have a bad time in our family.“We can still see through those little plans of theirs. Don’t worry, Seren. We didn’t let them get any benefits. When they intercepted your mother-in-law’s car, she called the police directly and said someone was blocking the road and trying to rob her.”“That granddad of yours is really shameless. He lay on the ground saying that he was hit, but he didn’t expect the road to be monitored by surveillance. The police came and checked the surveillance, then found out that he lay on the ground himself. They criticized him and lectured him, then ordered his children and grandchildren to take him away.“The most hateful thing was

Serenity smiled. “Mrs. Lane and I should be enough.”The store her sister rented was not large. If too many people went to help, it would look crowded with the customers coming in to have breakfast.While the two friends chatted, two—no, three people walked inOne of them was Noah, Serenity’s youngest cousin. He tried stopping Serenity’s car in the middle of the night last year and wanted to teach her a lesson, but she sent him to the police station.He was released after fifteen days of detention, but he did not repent and instead hated Serenity with a passion.He dropped out of school and stopped studying. His parents spoiled him and felt that his grades were not good enough to get him accepted into a university anyway, so they let him do as he pleased.After dropping out of school, Noah did nothing except play games.He came along the last time his grandfather visited the store to cause trouble, but Serenity did not notice him because there were too many people.“Let me go!

“Noah Hunt, you know me, right? If you don’t talk, I’ll slash a few lines across your face. You’re already ugly enough with pimples all over your face. It’ll be horrid if I add some blade scars to that. You’ll never get a wife and have to stay single all your life.”Noah visibly blanched and stammered, “I-I can’t say...”With just that, Serenity knew that her relatives were planning something big to deal with her.She said to the two bodyguards, “Bring him in for me. I’ll take good care of my little cousin.”“W-Wait, I’ll go by myself. Don’t let them touch me. They’re too rough.”Noah jumped and followed Serenity into the store.He knew how to behave himself after falling into Serenity’s hands. She would beat him into a pulp if she did not get what she wanted.Back in the store, he moved a stool for Serenity and poured water for her to drink.“Talk. Why did they ask you to follow me? It’s fine if you don’t tell me. You know my identity now. As long as I give the command, I’ll s

After Noah ran away, Jasmine said to her friend, “Seren, those guys might be trying to replace you.”“It’s not that they ‘might’ but rather they’re already planning it.”Serenity sat down behind the cash register looking slightly exhausted.Her sister and she were really unlucky to have been born into that family.To think they were related by blood!“Is that Harriet whom Noah mentioned older or younger than you?”“We’re the same age. I’m a week older than her.”Serenity thought about her cousin who was only one week younger than her. She had not seen Harriet for more than ten years and had little memory of her. Did Harriet and her look similar?When her parents were alive, she and Harriet went to school together and were in the same class. She seemed to remember her classmates mentioning that they looked alike.Even if they did, they would only look somewhat similar. Did Harriet think she could replace Serenity by just impersonation?Did they think Zachary was stupid?Unles

Callum pointed to the handsome man in the photo. “So, he’s a she?”“She has a fraternal twin brother, but they look exactly the same. Her family raised her as a boy since childhood, so she acts like a man. People outside of her family think that she’s the eldest son.”“How did you know she’s actually a woman?”Callum heard of Casey Stoll before, and he had seen pictures of her too. At first glance, she really did look like a man, but it was not because she was deliberately trying to come off as the opposite sex. She dressed androgynously, but since she was known for her power and influence, people misunderstood and thought she was a man.The handsome guy in the photo was different from Casey. She was raised as a man and also deliberately dressed like a man. She had thick eyebrows and large eyes, looked grim and cold, and her tall figure was dressed in a suit. Anyone who looked at her would think she was a he.Callum flipped over the photo and read the woman’s profile on the other
