Chapter 325
Author: Gu Lingfei
Since Charles said so, Serenity could only say, “Drive safe then, Mr. Charles.”

Charles rode a pedicab here.

He smiled, waved at Serenity, and rode away.

After he left, Serenity called Zachary.

“What’s wrong?” Zachary said in a low voice.

“Mr. York, are you getting off work soon?”

Zachary was silent, but he thought, ‘Does she miss me?’

However, he instantly scrapped that answer. There was no way she would miss him.

He had become more and more oversensitive lately.

“Why?”

He did not give her a direct answer. He wanted to know the reason she was asking before he answered.

“Um, I came out in a hurry and closed the door, but I forgot to bring my keys, so I can’t get back in. If you’re still working overtime, I’ll take a cab to your company to get the keys now, but if you’re getting off work soon, I’ll wait at the door.”

Zachary thought about it and said, “I’ll come home now. You don’t have to take a cab here.”

“Sure. I’ll wait for you in front of the house.”

He hummed and hun

    “A surprise for you.”Zachary took the bag and looked at it. “More clothes?”He took out the clothes and looked at them. This time, she was much more generous. All of them were branded goods.“I have no experience in giving gifts to men, so I can’t prepare a big surprise. Small surprises are all I can do. The clothes I gave you last time weren’t expensive. They were just a thousand or so each set, but this time, I bought you something branded. Each set costs more than ten thousand dollars.“Wearing it is like being decked out in money. Isn’t it a surprise? Even at my age, I could never bring myself to wear such expensive clothes.”Zachary smiled. “With your temperament and financial ability, it really is a surprise that you’re willing to buy such expensive clothes for me.”These new sets were many times better than the clothes she gifted him last time.Yes, it was a pleasant surprise indeed.“Thank you for helping my sister collect the evidence of Hank’s infidelity.”“Don’t me

    After the mother and son ended their call, Zachary frowned and thought about it. He then went ahead and asked the lady in front of him who was holding her kitty on the balcony swing. “Did you meet my mom without my knowledge?”Serenity froze.She had not mentioned the encounter with her mother-in-law to him. How did he know?Zachary walked up to her and stood opposite her. His burning dark eyes locked on her pretty face, and he asked again, “Did you meet my mom today?”Serenity saw he was still holding his cell phone and thought her mother-in-law had called to complain to him about her, so she quickly explained, “I bumped into your mom when I was buying clothes for you. I wanted to greet her, but maybe she didn’t recognize me. She walked away with her friend while laughing and talking, so I didn’t greet her.”Zachary was a smart person.Tania was his mother. Although he was brought up by his grandparents, he did not alienate his parents. His relationship with his parents was cord

    The husband and wife did not mention anything about the cold war they had and reconciled in silence. Serenity originally thought of getting through the six months and forgot about it, but she could not help but feel moved by his concern for her. She wanted to break that half-year agreement.However, she was afraid it was nothing but her own wishful thinking. She feared that if they divorced once the agreement expired and she ended up falling in love with him whereas he did not, she would suffer the pain of losing him and spend a long time forgetting him, all while he lived his new life happily.Falling in love with someone was easy, yet the same could not be said about letting go of someone you love.“Don’t worry, my sister and I will definitely ask for your help if we can’t solve a problem.”Since he was kind, she would respond in like.She added, “I called my sister when she got home, and she’s fine for now. She’s good at enduring, so she won’t act impulsively if she thinks it’s

    Serenity stopped walking.Zachary too. He looked at her deeply and asked, “What’s wrong?”“I’ll pay for the nanny. She’s going to be taking care of Sonny, who’s my nephew, so I should be the one to pay for it. I can’t let you use your money.”It would cost thousands of dollars to hire a nanny now.He was already paying for all their living expenses.Serenity felt like she was taking advantage of him.Zachary could not help but reach out and pinch her face. “You are always haggling with me. We’re a family now, so why do you have to split hairs over everything? On the day we got our marriage license, I already said that since I married you, I can afford to support you.“Sonny calls me Uncle, and I like that child very much too, so I’m willing to pay for a nanny to take care of him.”After a pause, he added softly, “Most importantly, I don’t want my wife to be so tired.”“Pardon?”“I said, I’ll pay for the nanny.”He was very insistent.Serenity could not win against him.

    Hank twisted the door handle but failed to open the door. Liberty had locked the door.He knocked.“Liberty, open up.”Liberty came to open the door, but she blocked the doorway to keep him from entering the room. She asked, “What?”“I have something I want to discuss with you. Let me in.”This was originally the couple’s master bedroom, but now it was occupied by Liberty.Hank was a little displeased, but in order to coax and persuade Liberty to help with the school run for his sister’s children, he held back his temper.“Can’t it wait till tomorrow? It’s already late now.”“It’s only 11. I usually come back during this time after dinner parties.”Liberty guessed that Hank wanted to talk to her about something having to do with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She was curious too, so she stepped to the side and said, “Go back to your room to sleep when you’re done.”Hank cursed in his heart, ‘I just couldn’t hold it in that night because I drank...

    “Just give my sister a hand and manage her children’s daily meals as well as their to and fro school run. You’re cooking regardless if they’re eating here anyway, so cooking for two more kids won’t make much of a difference. They’re still children, so they don’t eat that much either.“Think of it as doing me a favor. We’ve been married for so many years. You’re willing to help me, right?”Hank’s voice was gentle, and he looked at Liberty when he spoke. He even tried to appeal to her emotions.“My sister won’t make you work for nothing. She’ll give you a thousand bucks every month, and as I mentioned last time, I’d give you another fifteen hundred for living expenses. Including the thousand bucks my sister is giving you, you’ll have twenty-five hundred a month. That’s pretty decent.”Liberty wanted to laugh.She was angered to the point where she could only laugh at Hank and his sister’s thoughts.One thousand dollars for her to take the two children to and from school and cook th

    Since Hank could not convince Liberty to agree, he lost his patience and asked her grimly, “Where are you working? Which company is stupid enough to take you in?”Liberty beamed and said, “Lewis and Co. I was hired by Mr. Lewis himself.”Hank was speechless.Lewis and Co. was not a place he could reach.He thought that if she was working in a small company, he could use his connections to stop Liberty from working and she would lose her job again. She would then stay home obediently and take care of the child.However, he did not expect her to be this capable. She left the workplace for more than three years now and gained significant weight. She no longer had her aura from the past, but still managed to join a large company like Lewis and Co.Furthermore, she was personally hired by Mr. Lewis. He must be a horrible judge of character.Hank slandered Duncan cynically in his heart.Not even he had the ability to work in Lewis and Co.“Are you done with what you have to say? If

    Olivia thought about it and said, “I’ll talk to her again tomorrow and see if I can talk her out of going to work, but you should give her a little more living expenses in the future. Also, stop going Dutch with her.“I thought that going Dutch would benefit you, but now it seems like there’s no advantage. Now, you have to do everything yourself when you come back. When your sister and I come over, we have to pay Liberty to cook for us too.“You don’t seem to be saving a lot of money either. It’ll be much easier on you if you stop going Dutch with her. It’ll be worth it even if it means having to give her an extra two thousand per month for living expenses.”Hank was silent for a moment and said, “Even if we stop going Dutch, Liberty and I can’t go back to how we were before. I... I really have no interest in her anymore. If not for Sonny and Chelsea, I wouldn’t have lowered myself to speak to her so humbly.”As soon as he finished speaking, Olivia slapped him.She scolded him in

    Adrian and his brothers finally heard footsteps. They instinctively turned their heads, only to see a group of people, who were already very close, approaching.“Police! Hands up, don’t move!”Upon realizing they had been spotted, the officer leading the charge immediately shouted, drawing his gun and pointing it at Adrian and the others.The police had learned from the Dott brothers that the kidnappers were armed.The officers following Darren were from an armed unit and carried guns.Jason’s mind went blank. He could not form a single coherent thought.How had the police caught up?They had scouted the location beforehand, ensuring it was remote and quiet. It was somewhere no one would come even during the day, let alone at night.Adrian reacted the fastest. He immediately bent down to pick up the kitchen knife, intending to kill Caroline.All he could think then was that even if he died, he wanted to take Caroline with him. As long as Caroline died, he would consider it wor

    Justin, seeing his eldest brother approach with the kitchen knife, hesitated and asked, “Adrian, are we really going to do this?”“What, are you having second thoughts at this stage, like Jason? Justin, we didn’t even cover our faces. She knows it’s us. If we let her go now, we’re the ones who will die.“Think about it. How much have we suffered ever since she came back? How much have we lost? Even Mom’s dead now.”When their mother was alive, the three brothers lived carefree and comfortable lives. Now that she was gone, they were nothing.Hearing this, Justin quickly said, “Adrian, I’m not having second thoughts. It’s just… We don’t have to use the knife. We can just throw her into the sea. With her hands and feet tied, she won’t be able to escape.“The deep sea is full of fish. She’ll be eaten by a big fish soon, which will leave no trace. That’s better than us using the knife.”The main reason was that none of them had killed anyone before. Although they had done other bad th

    Her indifference, as if she did not care whether they killed her or not, infuriated her three brothers.Adrian stood up, turned around, and walked to the back of the car. He opened the trunk.Inside the trunk were two sharpened kitchen knives.“Adrian.” Jason walked over, his voice trembling slightly. It was his first time committing murder, and killing his own sister at that. Jason was a bit scared.“Adrian, are we really going to… chop her up?”Adrian picked up one of the kitchen knives and glared at Jason. “What? Are you having second thoughts? Or are you scared?”“Well… It’s my first time killing someone. I am a bit scared. Carol is our sister, after all. I... I can’t bring myself to do it.”Adrian snorted coldly. “You think of her as a sister, but she doesn’t see us as brothers. Look at what she’s done—every single thing has been a stab in the back for us.“When it comes to using a knife, once you make the first cut, the second one won’t be so hard.”Adrian handed the kit

    There were still traces of blood at the corners of her mouth and under her nose.Justin and Jason worked together to pull Caroline out, and Adrian immediately tied her legs together before binding her hands behind her back.“Are you going to feed me to the fish, Adrian?”Hearing the sound of the waves and feeling the cold sea breeze, Caroline shivered.She did not stand up and remained lying on the ground.Adrian kicked her several times, venting his pent-up anger.Caroline silently endured it.After kicking her a few times, Adrian squatted, gripping Caroline's chin forcefully with one hand, and said coldly, “Caroline, there’s nothing more to say between us.“Don’t blame us for being heartless. You’re the one who pushed us to this point.“You only have yourself to blame.“Where are the passwords and keys to Mom's private assets? Tell us, and we’ll make it quick for you, so you won’t suffer too much.“If you don’t, we have plenty of time to slowly cut you piece by piece and m

    “We can’t just keep giving them money, now can we?”Adrian replied, “That’s not a priority for now. We can burn that bridge when we come to it. If they do dare blackmail us, we’ll just send them on to meet their maker.“The only thing is they both have families. If we kill them, we have to kill their families too. That way, there’ll be no one who’ll report it to the police.“And it’s best to make it seem like an accident too, or else it’ll seem suspicious.”Justin and Jason both felt Adrian was right. If they were going to kill the Dott brothers, they might as well kill their families too.Caroline internally cursed how merciless they were. The Dott brothers thought they could earn some money from Adrian to live a better life but little did they know, it would bring destruction upon themselves and their families.What the Clark brothers did not know was that the Dotts were forced to say what they did earlier.It was not that they had not left yet. Rather, they could not, because

    Belinda had done everything other mothers would have. She loved them, yet the three of them had gotten a smaller portion of her wealth than their own children did. Indeed, Belinda left her grandchildren with more money.After all, her grandchildren still had a long life ahead of them.Therefore, she distributed more wealth to them. The Clark brothers loved spending lavishly and kept losing money whenever they tried to establish businesses. They also had many mistresses and never hesitated to spend money on them. Belinda was partial toward her sons about their affairs and also persuaded her daughters-in-law not to get a divorce. In truth, she resented her three sons for being promiscuous and inheriting their father’s flirtatious traits. While Hunter may have been interested in other girls, he dared not cheat on Belinda because she was strict. However, he still had an affair the moment he spotted an opportunity.Later, Belinda chased the Clark brothers’ mistresses out of

    Celine, whom they had cared for all long, was not their biological sister but the daughter of the previous butler. Celine’s father was ambitious. He tried making his daughter the Fisher family’s successor. Justin was speechless.“Free me, Jason. I’m already in your hands. Are you still scared that I’ll escape? Let me out. It’s too stuffy in the sack. I feel terrible.”Caroline made a request. Jason seemed to be the one with some lingering feelings for his sibling. Well, that was not really the case.If he truly had even a sliver of sibling love for Caroline, he would have stopped Adrian and Justin from kidnapping her instead of joining the plan. If Caroline had been fortunate, she could have had five brothers doting on her. Sadly, she was unlucky. None of the five brothers had cared for her. They all wanted her dead. Was she a failure as a person, or were they too cruel?Jason said, “Just stay put, Caroline. We’ll let you out when we arrive.”They could not release Car

    Caroline could not beat them. Then, her mouth was gagged with a cloth, and her head was covered with a sack. Someone forced her into a car. She heard Adrian saying to his brothers, “Let’s go.“Tell Celine’s brothers to follow us. Assign a few people to clean up and leave quickly.”After that, Caroline heard the sound of an engine starting. The car moved. She could not see what was happening. While she was shoved into the backseat, her arms and legs were unbound. She removed the cloth from her mouth but not the sack from her head.Someone held the sack tightly and started hitting and kicking her. “Tie the sack, Justin,” said Jason in a hurry. The person beating her up was Justin. “I know it’s you guys, Justin and Jason. What are you doing? Let me go. Mmph…”Caroline grunted in pain. She suffered a punch from Justin. She held her head tightly to prevent any injury to it. Many blows landed on her body. “It’s fine even if you know it’s us, Caroline. You better stay

    “Ms. Caroline.”The bodyguards looked toward Caroline. Caroline opened her eyes and said calmly, “Stop the car, but don’t get out. Only get out when the situation gets out of hand. Remember to protect yourselves.”“Ms. Caroline…”“I’ll keep myself safe. Don’t worry. I treasure my life. There’s still a long life ahead of me. I haven’t even started enjoying good days. I won’t want to die.”Caroline chuckled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. There was sorrow in those eyes. In the end, she and her brothers could not coexist. It made her realize how bad her luck was with families. She was switched at birth and mistreated by her adoptive family. She thought her biological parents would treat her well after returning to them, but it turned out to be the opposite. Caroline had many family members, yet somehow, she was still alone. The people who truly cared about her were Darren, Liberty, and some others. Caroline’s bodyguards knew she had been waiting for that moment.
