Married at First Sight Chapter 297
On the other end of the line, Clive was left overwhelmed by his dear sister. He asked helplessly, “What did John do to you?” “Serenity is my friend and love guru. He’s out to get my love guru, threatening to bring down Serenity’s business and closing her online business by giving her bad ratings. That’s having it in for me. “Don’t you think what his family has done is inhumane? People will criticize us if Stone Group retains such a person at a managerial level. You might think you know some people, but you’ll never know their true nature. Looks can be deceiving.” Clive had no words. He was rendered speechless by his sister’s unruliness. The managing director of Aron PCB had reported to headquarters, verifying John’s talent. John started off with a minor role at Aron PCB and climbed his way up to deputy managing director. The managing director did not want to lose his right-hand man over a family dispute. Hence, he suspended John at the height of the scandal instead of f

John even picked up the scattered basket and fruits that were tossed out by Elisa. A fruit basket cost a couple of hundred bucks. The Hunts would rather eat the fruits than give them to Serenity. As if Serenity cared. It was not like she never ate fruits before. John took a ride in Mike’s car to get to Serenity’s shop. He got into the car and called his boss, Mr. Ziegel, right away. John wanted to explain to Mr. Ziegel about the earlier incident.Unfortunately, Mr. Ziegel had already received notice from the headquarters. Before John could finish talking, Mr. Ziegel expressed his regret. “John, the dispute between you and your cousins is simple and easily resolvable. You could’ve apologized with earnestness and issued a public apology online. Not only will your cousins forgive you, but the online community will also let the thing go since you’re willing to admit fault and change for the better. “But what did you do? You’ve been on suspension for a while, but you couldn’t eve

John was without a word. As mentioned by Serenity, the Hunts would never have yielded unless the matter was so bad that it hurt their financial interest. They had not given in completely either. The Hunt often got on Serenity’s nerves every time they went to her shop. It was like Mr. Ziegel said; they complicated a simple thing and were nowhere near resolving the issue. “How did Serenity come to know Ms. Stone? What love guru was she talking about?” John pursed his lips and replied, “Ms. Stone is crazy for Mr. York. I guess Serenity is teaching her how to woo Mr. York. Serenity will get it once Mr. York finds out she had been giving ideas to Ms. Stone.” “I mean how did they know each other? By right, Serenity wouldn’t cross paths with an heiress like Ms. Stone.” Mike was envious that Serenity rubbed shoulders with Ms. Stone and got Ms. Stone to have her back. Elisa might not be working at Stone Group, but she was still the heiress of the Stones. This title carried weight.

“Ms. Stone, Serenity, carry on with your talk. I’m taking Sonny to the supermarket to get some vegetables.” There was still a lot of seafood given by Elisa in the fridge. They could enjoy a seafood menu today, but some greens were needed to complement the seafood galore. Jasmine carried Sonny and took off. While being carried away, Sonny would turn back and stare back at Elisa. Elisa remarked with a smile, “Serenity, you have an adorable nephew.” “He’s a cheeky monkey.” “Kids nowadays can be rascals. I’m getting your nephew a toy when I drop by next time.” “It’s fine, Ms. Stone. Sonny has a lot of toys. My husband bought loads for him.” Elisa said, “You get yours, and I’ll get mine. I adore the little man. I want to buy him lots and lots of toys. If he was my nephew, I would buy him the moon assuming that I can.” Serenity could testify that Elisa would spoil a child rotten. With Jasmine and Sonny away, Serenity went into the kitchen to prepare the seafood. She asked

“I’ll leave you to your work then.” Grandma May did not take up too much of her grandson’s time.After the phone call, Zachary put his phone on the desk and leaned back against his black swivel chair while resting his right elbow against the arm of the chair for his hand to brush his chin. His chin felt prickly. It was time to shave. Elisa and his wife were getting on well. Should he figure out a way to wreck their relationship? The girls would become best friends at this rate. Elisa was bound to find out that Serenity was her love rival when Zachary spilled the beans to Serenity about his identity. Rage would drive Elisa to take it out on Serenity since the former would not be able to let it go. With Zachary around, he would not allow Elisa to harm Serenity. Zachary contemplated for a while before giving up on that thought. He was not someone who could not protect his wife. Why should he be scared of Elisa? The girls should bond as they liked. It would only do Serenit

“Your husband's going to reject you for being fat and ugly. You’ll have something to cry about when he finds a young and beautiful woman.” The words hit Liberty hard. She was in a hurry to find a job because her husband had found her repulsive and cheated on her. That was why Liberty lowered her standards and applied for a clerical position, so she would have the chance to win custody of her son. It never occurred to Liberty that she would face rejection and humiliation here. “Call me a fat cow one more time!” The interviewer walked around the table, shoved Liberty and chanted, “Fat cow! Fat cow! I won't stop. So get out, fat cow!” For once, Liberty’s larger frame was to her advantage. She planted her feet on the ground. The interviewer had a hard time pushing her out of the door. “Apologize! I’m not leaving until you apologize.” Livid, the interviewer turned back to her desk and picked up her phone and called security. Two guards soon arrived. Men naturally had more st

“This is your company?” Liberty had no doubts that this was Duncan’s company after pulling herself out of the shock. The company’s name was Lewis & Co. after all. Zachary mentioned that Mr. Lewis was an important client of his company. It never crossed Liberty’s mind that Duncan was the CEO of Lewis & Co. Liberty was still in the working scene when Lewis & Co. was on the rise, so she knew what the company was made of. However, she had never connected the dots between Duncan and the CEO of Lewis & Co. “Mr. Lewis, I don’t want to make a scene. I came for the interview, but your interviewer said the way I carry myself doesn’t befit the company’s image. I asked for the reason, and she told me I'm overweight and proceeded to shame me. I was furious and put her down for that. She then called me a fat cow and told me to get lost. “Lewis & Co. is one of the biggest companies here in Wiltspoon. I always thought the employees of your company would have class. I’m surprised to find othe

Duncan’s words drained the color off Ms. Chaplin’s face.Without the guts to defend herself, Ms. Chaplin responded, “I’m sorry, sir. I won’t do it again.” She then approached Liberty and said apologetically, “Ms. Hunt, I’m sorry for judging you by your appearance and insulting you. Please forgive me.” Now that Liberty had cooled down, she replied embarrassedly, “I was at fault too, Ms. Chaplin. I should’ve watched my tone. Please forgive me for making you mad.” After the pair exchanged apologies, Ms. Chaplin asked when Liberty could start work. With a job secured, Liberty was overjoyed. She was grinning from ear to ear when she said, “I can start work anytime.” “Come tomorrow then.” “Alright. Thank you, Ms. Chaplin. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.” Liberty expressed her gratitude and happily walked out with her resume. “Liberty,” Duncan called out to her. Liberty stopped and turned around to face him with a smile. “Do you need anything, Mr. Lewis?” “You start tomorrow, right

“You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s

Isabella’s bodyguard had only called out to her, not daring to touch her, so she had not woken up. However, when Austin gently patted her face and called her, she woke up almost immediately. When she opened her eyes and saw Austin’s handsome face, Isabella was momentarily dazed, thinking she was dreaming about him.She had actually dreamed about Austin. Had she developed feelings for him? If she had not, why would she dream about him? In all her life, this was the first time she had dreamed about a man. Isabella wanted to touch Austin’s face, but as she raised her hand, she realized she was not dreaming.Austin was real. She could smell the fresh scent on him because they were so close.He had showered.Isabella quietly lowered her hand, hoping Austin had not noticed her earlier intention, lest he misunderstood.“Ms. Isabella,” Austin’s warm and pleasant voice reached her ears, making her want to close her eyes and go back to sleep. With him around, she felt safe and secure.

Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w
