Chapter 1
Wiltspoonโs hot weather in October was a killer. Still, the mornings and evenings were eased by the late autumn breeze.Serenity Hunt got up first thing in the morning to make breakfast for her sisterโs family of three. She then grabbed her birth certificate and slipped away in the silence.โWeโre going Dutch from now on, and Iโm talking about everythingโthe living expenses, the mortgage, and auto loans! Your sister should be splitting the cost since sheโs staying at our place. Sure, she pays two thousand bucks a month, but it doesnโt stretch very far. Sheโs basically mooching off us.โSerenity overheard her brother-in-lawโs comment during the coupleโs argument last night.She had to move out of her sisterโs place.However, there was only one way to put her sisterโs mind to rest, and that was to get married.Since Serenity wanted to tie the knot on short notice without ever having had a boyfriend, she decided to take up on Grandma Mayโs offer. Serenity had saved the old lady by chance and came to know that Grandma May was trying to marry off her grandson, Zachary York, who had trouble settling down.Twenty minutes later, Serenity got off to her pit stop at City Hall.โSerenity.โA familiar voice summoned her attention the moment she got out of the car. It was Grandma May.โGrandma May.โAs Serenity hurried over, she took notice of a towering yet distant figure standing next to Grandma May. He must be Zachary, her husband-to-be.At a closer distance, Serenity was dumbstruck after getting a load of Zacharyโs face.According to Grandma May, her eldest grandson, Zachary had no luck with the ladies despite hitting thirty. Needless to say, Grandma May was worried sick.Serenity had always assumed that he must be hideous.After all, she heard that Zachary had a high-paying job up the corporate ladder in a major group.Now that they had met face-to-face, Serenity realized that she had gotten it all wrong.Zachary was attractive and carried himself with an air of aloofness. Standing next to Grandma May with a sour face, he appeared standoffish and gave off vibes to stay away from him.Serenityโs gaze strayed to a black MPV parked nearby. Judging by the logo, it was a national car rather than some multimillion-dollar vehicle. Serenity deduced that the economic difference between her and Zachary was not that far off.She and an old friend from school had started a bookshop at the entrance of Wiltspoon School.During her free time, Serenity would also knit little knick-knacks to sell online. The sales were not too bad.In a month, she could bring home a steady income of twenty thousand dollars. The same amount in Wiltspoon would position her among the white collars. That was why she could afford to hand her sister five thousand bucks for living expenses.Nevertheless, her brother-in-law had no clue about her earnings. Serenity told her sister to pocket three thousand bucks and only disclose the remaining two thousand to her husband.โSerenity, this is my oldest grandson, Zachary. Heโs a thirty-year-old man and canโt even get himself out there. Although heโs not the warmest person, heโs attentive and considerate. You saved my life, and weโve known each other for three months. Trust me that I wonโt recommend a bad man to you.โTaking in his nana's description of him, Zachary looked askance at Serenity, icily and profoundly without saying a word.Perhaps he had grown immune to her grumbles.Serenity knew that Grandma May had three sons, and each gave her three grandsons, blessing her with nine grandsons. Since a granddaughter was missing in Grandma Mayโs life, she sought that affinity with Serenity.Although blushing, Serenity openly extended her right hand to Zachary and introduced herself with a smile, โHello, Mr. York. Iโm Serenity Hunt.โZacharyโs penetrating gaze scanned Serenity from head to toe and back. With Nana clearing her throat, he reached out his right hand for a shake, albeit his voice reflected an icy tone. โZachary.โAfter the handshake, Zachary raised his left hand to look at the time before informing Serenity. โIโm a busy man. Letโs get it done and over with.โSerenity hummed in acknowledgment.Grandma May jumped in. โGo on inside to sort out the paperwork. Iโll wait for you here.โโNana, get into the car. Itโs a hot day out.โZachary said as he helped Nana into the car.Through his actions, Serenity was able to agree with Grandma Mayโs statement that Zachary might be callous, but his heart was in the right place.Although they were strangers, Grandma May mentioned that Serenity could move out of her sisterโs place into an apartment Zachary owned and paid for in full after the marriage. It could reassure her sister that Serenity was in good hands and end the arguments in the apartment because of her.It was only a marriage of convenience.Soon, Zachary returned to Serenityโs side and uttered, โLetโs go.โโSure.โ Serenity quietly followed him into City Hall.At the registry office, Zachary urged Serenity. โMs. Hunt, you can still change your mind if you donโt want to go through with this. It doesnโt matter what my Nana says. Marriage is a huge commitment, not to be taken lightly.โHe was hoping Serenity had second thoughts because he had no intention of marrying a woman he had just met.

Even if the sky were to collapse, the York brothers did not have to worry about a thing. It felt like they were benefiting from Zacharyโs influence. They were able to do whatever they wished because he had taken up the heavier responsibilities.Zachary sensed the meaning behind Riverโs words. He smiled and said, โI wasnโt as mischievous as Lilโ Bun when I was young. Heโs doing better than I did.โHe was glad that Heath was a brighter kid than he was.Most fathers would want their sons to be outstanding individuals. Zachary was not an exception. He was also just like any other father.โHave you eaten, Zachary?โโNo. I havenโt even left the company.โRiver chuckled. โI shall not take up more of your time. Go have your meal. Donโt let yourself go hungry. If you hurt your stomach, Serenity will have to look after you when she gets back.โIโm going to eat now. Rosalie has arranged a blind date for me later.โZachary had heard about Riverโs plan from Serenity. He did not comment

โIf the industry shift doesnโt work out, and you still think Rosalieโs the one, you can give up on Crest Co. York Corporation will always be your pillar. Whether you have Crest Co. or not will not significantly affect you.โI hope you can return to Wiltspoon to share my burden.โRiver had left York Corporation entirely and no longer held any position within that company. Since River had worked at York Corporation for several years, Zachary felt he was capable. More accurately, the York men were all competent. Even if they left York Corporation, they could build their careers from scratch with their own abilities.River said, โI donโt want to return to Wiltspoon and simply benefit from York Corporation. I want to rely on myself and achieve success without relying on my family for help. โRosalie is the one. I share the same views on relationships as you all do, Zachary. Iโll love her forever. If I canโt marry her, then Iโd rather not get married at all.โI also believe I have the

โIโve built this career without relying on our familyโs connections. Itโs important to me.โI canโt abandon Crest Co.โDo I have to let it be a subsidiary of Summit Group?โIf River refused to switch the companyโs direction, he would have no choice but to let it be absorbed by Summit Group. River did not want it to happen, but Summit Group was interested in acquiring Crest Co.Zachary said, โHavenโt you thought of changing the companyโs focus? Crest Co. is now involved in more than one industry. You simply have to avoid becoming a competitor to Summit Group. With numerous industries to choose from, I believe your company will thrive in any of them.โOf course, I canโt make decisions for your marriage. You should think about it yourself. If you canโt make the sacrifice, just keep things as they are for now and wait until an opportunity arises a few years later.โHowever, youโll be over thirty years old by then. Nana is old and has limited time left. I donโt know whether sheโll b

Nevertheless, River still sent a message to Rosalie asking for her arrival time.She replied that she would only arrive around half-past twelve. She had already booked a room and ordered the food. When she arrived with his date, they could start eating right away. He would not go hungry. She also told River there was no need to rush over. Of course, he could go to the hotel first if he was anxious and wait for them in the private room she had reserved.Rosalie was a young lady of the Lafayettes, and La Grande Solville was her familyโs business. Making a private room reservation and ordering food beforehand was a breeze for her.She often ate at the hotelโs restaurant too, having only occasionally eaten at home.River replied: [Noted.]After putting down his phone, he did not head to the private room right away, but instead slowly sipped on his unfinished cup of coffee. He thought of ways to change the nature of his and Rosalieโs enmity.Did he really have to give up on Crest

Damian knew that River had not considered it just from his dumbfounded look.He sighed mentally. Rosalie had been more thorough.After some time, River asked, โAre you telling me to leave Crest Co., Damian?โOr let Summit Group acquire Crest Co.?โDamian replied, โYou can think of a way yourself. I wonโt make any decisions for you.โI know men usually prioritize their careers more. You came to Solville and painstakingly earned your achievements. As a man, Iโd be ashamed to request you to sacrifice your career for Rosalie.โTake your time to think this through. Of course, there are other options, such as having Crest Co. specialize in an industry different from Summit Groupโs. As long as weโre not running similar businesses, we wonโt be competitors.โWe all admire you a lot and think youโre a rare talent, River. Even if you were to switch Crest Co.โs directions, it would definitely be successful.โOn the other hand, Summit Group is too huge. Itโs difficult to transform our bus

Damian stared at River, waiting for his response. River took a sip of coffee and put down his cup. He met Damianโs gaze and answered, โI didnโt know I had feelings for Rosalie previously.โWhen I saw her attending the banquet with Christian that night, I was annoyed and even felt like beating Christian up. I didnโt want them to be together.โOnly then did I realize I liked Rosalie. She was no longer just a competitor. After going against her for so many years, I developed feelings for her.โTo answer your question about whether I like Rosalie, I can now tell you confidently that I am in love with her.โDamian let out a breath of relief.Luckily, River was sincere.He was not simply using love as a tactic to trick Rosalie.Actually, Damian had noticed that River had been getting more intimate with Rosalie. That was a clear sign that River was in love.โSince you like Rosalie, why did you let her arrange blind dates for you?โDamian could not understand it.River smiled. He s
