Chapter 218
Author: Gu Lingfei
Liberty continued her job hunt.

Serenity took her nephew back to the store.

Jasmine loved Sonny and she was the one who played with him the most, letting Serenity focus on her crafts.

She was going to make some retro headwear to sell online and see how the sales go. If it went well, she would open another online store.

Ever since e-commerce became a thing, business at brick-and-mortar stores took a plunge.

If the online store could make money, Serenity would happily open another online store.

When it was noon, Jasmine asked her friend, “Seren, are you still going to pick up your husband for lunch today? I have some fresh seafood over at home. Let’s have a seafood feast for lunch. If Mr. York wants to join us, I’ll prepare more portions.”

Jasmine asked before she started to cook, lest she prepared too little for everyone to eat.

“Even if I call him, he won’t come anyway. Jasmine, I think I’m having a cold war with Zachary.”

Serenity finished making a miniature tree that a custo

    “Maybe he hasn’t seen your message. Why don’t you send him another one?”Serenity was silent for a moment. Then, she picked up her phone, tapped on WhatsApp, and sent another message to Zachary. Serenity: [Do you want to have lunch together?]When she sent the message, she received a system notification stating that Zachary had not added her as contact and could not receive her message. There was a prompt for her to add him as a friend.Serenity stared at the few lines of words.‘We’re not friends?‘That cheapskate actually deleted my contact again!‘This is the second time he deleted me!‘The first time was when we first got our license. He turned around and forgot about me, his new wife, for nine days so he deleted me. However, I could understand because we weren’t close to each other back then.‘Now that he deleted me again, it means that he’s convinced that I did him wrong. He’s completely set on the idea that I found a backup partner, so he deleted my contact.’At first

    Serenity had been careful in spending money. Unless she was buying large pieces of furniture, she would spend no more than two hundred dollars a day.As time passed, Zachary did not bother to guess.Since he had given her the money, she was free to spend it.He was angry at her and deleted her from his WhatsApp, but he did not want to take back the money he gave her to spend.Anyhow, he would bear with her until the agreement expired. He would not breach the contract prematurely, since he would have to compensate her with a large number of liquidated damages.Ten minutes later, his phone received another expenditure notification.This time, the total was more than twenty thousand.Of course, this bit of money was nothing for Mr. York.He just wanted to know why the woman was suddenly spending so much money. Was she buying gold?Or did she get angry after she found out that he deleted her, so she deliberately went shopping to spend his money?Sure enough, Zachary was good at g

    “Wait, even if you saw Serenity eating with another man and giving him food, who was he? Did you check properly? What if he’s a relative?”Zachary’s face was gloomy. “Shawn Lowe.”“Who’s Shawn? Oh, I know. He’s the son of Mr. Lowe from Lowe Enterprise. He’s working in Lowe Enterprise now to build experience... Let me think. The maiden name of Shawn’s mother is Sox, and your wife’s best friend’s last name is also Sox.”Zachary said directly, “Shawn is Jasmine Sox’s cousin.”“Yes yes yes, they’re cousins. Serenity and Jasmine are best friends, so she must have known Shawn for a long time. She’s a few years older than Shawn, right? Maybe she just thinks of him as a younger brother.”“They don’t have any blood relation at all. Even if she thinks of him as a brother, he’s not her brother!”Josh choked. ‘Yeah, even if she says she only thinks of him as a brother, they’re not connected by blood, so there’s no way he can be her brother.’After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “Shawn i

    ‘Could Josh be right? Am I really jealous?‘How can that be?’Zachary sat down in the black swivel chair and took out his phone again. He was lost in thoughts for a long time. Then, he decided to put his ego aside and reply to Serenity’s message. When he opened WhatsApp, he recalled that he deleted her from his contacts.Fortunately, he still remembered her phone number.After another few moments of deliberation, he finally mustered the courage to call her.“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available.”Zachary was speechless.‘Did Serenity turn off her phone?‘Or did she block me?’He immediately used the landline to call her. It rang, but he hung up before she could answer. That was because he was now sure that she blocked his cell phone number.Zachary, who put down his ego and wanted to mend his relationship with his wife, was immediately sent back to square one after Serenity blocked his number.‘I deleted her first, and she blocked me in return. Fine, we’re even

    The driver turned his head to look at Zachary in the backseat. When he saw Zachary’s cold expression, he quickly turned his head around and eyes back on the road. He was careful with the speed of the car, following the missus’ car from a decent distance.Jim thought of the most important question and turned to ask Zachary, “Mr. Zachary, where are you returning tonight?”‘Mr. Zachary stayed in Regent Residences yesterday, but he’s following Missus today. Is he going back to Brynfield?’Zachary was silent.After a while, he said, “Go back to Regent Residences, but...”He looked at the familiar car in front of him without saying a word.They silently escorted Serenity’s car back to Brynfield before he returned to his villa.Jim was a smart man and instantly saw through Zachary’s thoughts, so he told the driver the details.Serenity knew that there was a car following her, which was Zachary’s, but Wiltspoon was a big city so there were many cars on the road even late at night.

    They then waited until late at night when there were only a few cars on the road. They waited by the road for Serenity to pass by and stop her car.“How much money she spent has nothing to do with me. Back then, when she used money to cut off our ties as grandparents and grandchildren, she said we neither had to take care of her when she was alive nor bury her when she died. You weren’t old enough to remember that. If you don’t know what happened that year, look back at the online post I made or ask your parents about it.“However, your parents probably won’t admit it. The money the Hunt family is spending was the compensation money my parents gave with their lives. Otherwise, how could they live such happy lives now?”Serenity’s expression was icy cold as she retorted to Noah.“I don’t care. Get out of the car. I’ll give you until the count of three. If you don’t get out, I’ll smash your car.”Noah was extremely arrogant since he had numbers on his side.The punks he brought wit

    Noah miscalculated. He chose the wrong place.This was near a traffic light intersection, so there was surveillance everywhere.It was true that they started the fight and Serenity was only acting in self-defense.Noah thought it would be easy to deal with Serenity if he came with a group of seven or eight men as she was a weak woman. Unexpectedly, she knew how to fight. His family never told him that she knew the art of self-defense.“What do you want?”Noah tried to save his ear, but Serenity pulled harder. He screamed in pain and cursed, “Let go! My parents won’t forgive you if you rip my ear off!”“Call me Sis.”“Bah! You’re not my sister.”“Yeah, I’m not your sister. I don’t have a cousin like you.”Serenity tugged harder, and Noah wailed in pain. His companions had long been frightened by her fighting skills when they were defeated by her. Seeing her abusing Noah’s ear, they quietly retreated.“Stop right there, all of you!” Serenity’s bellow made the punks freeze in th

    “Yeah, I’m cold-hearted and ruthless, but are you righteous and loyal? You didn’t know how your parents and the others treated me before, but do you still not know now? Do you think I’ll let it go just because it’s in the past? I’ll never forget what they did to me for the rest of my life!”Noah opened his mouth, but he was unable to refute it.In the end, he stood up, turned around, and ran.Serenity went after him and swept him to the ground with a single kick. Then, she grabbed his shirt roughly and dragged him back, causing him to scream in pain again as his skin grazed the ground.After throwing him at the group of punks, she warned them, “I advise you to stay here obediently and wait for the police to rescue you. If anyone dares to run, don’t blame me for being impolite.”The punks were frightened by Serenity’s ferocity. No one dared to run again.Noah kept cursing at Serenity, and she warned him with a dark expression, “One more word out of you and I’ll beat you till your

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.

    “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

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. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

    Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. 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. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi

    Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

    Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

    While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w
