Chapter 1653
Author: Gu Lingfei
“This house is too quiet. Get a few people to watch the house.” During her walk, Mrs. Stone complained that her daughter’s house was too quiet.

The Stones’ housekeeper would arrange for someone to clean the villa, but no one lived there.

Elisa enjoyed being alone and free without being controlled by anyone.

“I think this is great.”

Elisa would like to keep to the status quo.

Mrs. Stone shot a glance at her daughter. She did not want to keep arguing over the topic with her.

“I’m attending a charity gala tonight. Come with me.”

“Mom, you know I’ve always disliked attending galas. You can get Seren or Liberty to accompany you there.”

Mrs. Stone could not help but poke Elisa’s head. “You’re now a businesswoman. It’s important to socialize. If you don’t socialize, how are you going to do business? If you’re able to do business in Wiltspoon, it’s all because of your brother’s reputation. Other people are willing to do it for the sake of our family’s status.

    “Seren, I just got pregnant and will only deliver the baby eight to nine months later. The thought of being raised like a pig by Josh gives me a headache.”Seren smiled and said, “You’re taking things for granted.”Jasmine answered, “I’ll say this to you one day.”Serenity came back in while holding Sonny’s hand. After Sonny greeted Jasmine, he climbed onto a chair and sat on it. Jasmine stretched out her hand to touch Sonny’s face. “Although I’m pregnant, I’m being strictly controlled. I don’t have any freedom. If I can give birth to a cute baby like Sonny, it’ll be worth it.”“Isn’t it a baby boy in your stomach, Jazz?” Sonny asked innocently.Upon hearing that, Jasmine exchanged glances with Serenity before she said to Sonny, “Sonny, isn’t it a baby girl in my stomach?”Jasmine wanted a daughter.Sonny’s big eyes twinkled before he replied, “I don’t know.”The question escaped Sonny’s mouth instinctively.“I just got pregnant, so it’s not known whether the baby is a boy o

    “Are you going home to get ready?” After pouring her heart out, Jasmine asked her best friend.Serenity responded, “I’ll send Sonny home first. He said he missed me after his class ended, so Jim sent him over.”She had to accompany her husband to attend the charity gala at night, so it was inconvenient for her to bring Sonny along.“Hurry up and leave. I’ll be here to watch the store. It’s been a long time since I last sat here. I wonder if those little monkeys miss me.”Jasmine referred to students as little monkeys.“Should I inform Mr. Bucham that you’re here watching the store?”Jasmine said, “No need. He knows about it. Look at that row of bodyguards. Even if I don’t tell him, won’t they do it? Josh won’t stop me from watching the store. All I do is use the cash register.”Serenity laughed. “Fine. You stay here and watch the store. I’ll send Sonny back.”“Go ahead.”Serenity held her nephew and left the bookstore.After Serenity left, Jasmine immediately headed to the ki

    The bodyguards knew that Jasmine was not the sort who would put on airs. She meant it when she said she wanted to treat them to ice cream. Even if Josh found out, he would not tell them off.Boris headed to the shop Jasmine had mentioned to buy ice cream.After Boris left, Jasmine went into the store to wait for him. She was internally excited at the thought that she could eat ice cream soon.Boris came back shortly.However, he returned empty-handed.He gave the change to Jasmine.“Where’s ice cream?” Jasmine asked in puzzlement.Could it be that Perry’s shop had no more ice cream? That was not possible. During winter, Jasmine would always see ice cream in the freezer in his shop.“I’ve bought ice cream, and they’re having it now. I came to return the change to you. Missus, thank you for treating us to ice cream.”Boris returned the change to Jasmine and thanked her for the treat on everyone’s behalf.It felt refreshing to eat ice cream on a hot day.While receiving the cha

    Sonny immediately called Camryn once again. This time, he roared.Camryn finally recovered from her musings.She panicked a little and extended her hand to touch Sonny. After reaching for Sonny, she revealed a gentle smile. “Sonny, you’re here. Did you come with your mom?”Liberty would sometimes drop by Spring Blossoms to buy a few plants.The flowers that Liberty grew always ended up dead probably because she did not have time to take care of them. When they died, she would buy a few more plants and ask Camryn for advice on how to take care of them.“I came with Aunt Ser. Cammy, you didn’t notice that Aunt Ser and I came in. I called you just now, but you didn’t respond.”Camryn replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Sonny. I was lost in thought, so I didn’t hear your aunt’s and your footsteps.”She turned her eyes to Serenity. “Hello, Serenity. What brings you here?”“I’ll be going with Zachary to a charity gala tonight, so I planned to close the store in the afternoon to get r

    Serenity poured three glasses of water and gave one glass to her nephew. Then, she brought over two glasses of water and sat in front of Camryn. She handed one of them to Camryn. Serenity and Camryn drank half the glasses of water.“Camryn, go ahead. What do you want to ask me?”“It seems that Callum went missing these two days. Is he away on a business trip?”Serenity was surprised that Camryn asked about Callum’s whereabouts.Callum went to Annenburg to beg Dr. Carden to treat Camryn’s eyes. He did not tell Camryn about it. Before he received Dr. Carden’s promise to treat Camryn’s eyes, he planned to keep it from her to avoid disappointing her.Aunt Evelyn went to search for the doctor’s apprentice to treat Camryn’s eyes. As she was not as well-connected as Callum, she had no idea that Dr. Carden had returned to Annenburg.The apprentice was Camryn’s last hope. Although she did not mention it, Callum knew that she held high hopes for it.If he failed to get Dr. Carden’s prom

    At that moment, Serenity was stumped for words.As Camryn had said, Serenity felt that she did not deserve to be with Zachary because of her background.For Camryn, however, the problem was her health.Serenity was silent for a moment before she comforted Camryn, “Camryn, your eyes will be fine. Callum will hire the best doctor to treat your eyes.”Callum had gone to Annenburg.Nobody knew about his situation.Camryn soon put her despondence behind her. She wore her usual smile and said to Serenity, “Serenity, let’s drop this subject. It’ll be better for Callum to be away on a business trip. Now that we’re apart, we can calm down. Perhaps he’ll give up on me.” It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for Callum. It was still difficult for Camryn to accept him.She always felt that her blindness made her unworthy of Callum who was outstanding.He should marry a woman who was better than her.Serenity said, “Callum won’t give up on you unless he has no feelings for yo

    Duncan carried Sonny into the house and closed the door. With a grin, he asked the kid, “I’m a boss. I can choose not to go to work. Nobody can control me, and I don’t have to worry that my salary will be cut.”Sonny said, “Oh. But Uncle Zak is a boss too. Why does he have to go to work every day?”Duncan replied, “Uncle Zak’s company is larger than mine. He has more things to handle, so he needs to work every day.”Sonny was convinced.Duncan put him down.The kid had a lot of whys in his mind. If one was not quick enough to react, one would be stuck.“Liberty.”Duncan walked to Liberty with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He looked at her affectionately while handing the bouquet to her.“Mr. Lewis, I don’t like flowers. Don’t send them to me next time, okay?” Liberty said helplessly.Although she had rejected Duncan numerous times, he continued to send her flowers.When Duncan noticed that she did not accept the bouquet, he searched for a vase and put the bouquet in it.

    Liberty never told Duncan anything about her conversation with Mrs. Lewis. However, he still found out from his mother. Upon discovering that his mother had made Liberty move out, move away, and even leave Wiltspoon with Sonny, he quarreled with his mother in anger. Mrs. Lewis was furious, and so was Duncan. Ultimately, the mother and son were unwilling to compromise. None of them would give up and let go. Liberty glanced at Duncan and continued what she was doing. She said, “If I’m not the problem, then I won’t make so many sacrifices.”Duncan laughed. He liked that side of Liberty. Sonny, who took the phone into a room, dialed Serenity’s number. He knew the first number in his mother’s contact list was Aunt Ser’s. Serenity picked up the phone shortly. “What’s the matter, Liberty?”She thought it was her sister who called. “Aunt Ser, it’s me, Sonny.”Hearing her nephew’s young voice, Serenity smiled and said, “Hey, Sonny. Did you call me yourself?”“Yeah. I too

    Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

    Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

    “Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.

    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

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.

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.
