Married at First Sight Chapter 397
Liberty believed in Zachary more than she did in Serenity.Liberty even told Serenity’s embarrassing story of her secretly drinking the vodka when she was young.Zachary looked at Serenity with such an intense gaze that Serenity wanted to find a hole to burrow in.“Liberty, why would you bring that up? It’s been so many years!”Liberty even shared this with Zachary.Liberty smiled and said, “You climbed into bed after your meal that day and slept all day. You can’t drink, but you like to drink anyway. You’ll sleep like a log after drinking too.“Zachary, just remember not to let her drink when it’s not a special occasion.”Zachary pursed his lips and smiled. “I’ll remember.”Liberty was reminiscing about their younger days, which made everyone laugh. The gloom from earlier slowly faded away.Divorce was no big deal.The earth would not stop rotating because someone was missing. Even without Hank, Liberty could live a good life.After walking out of the hotel, Liberty looked

Serenity came to a realization after being stared at and asked Zachary tentatively, “Mr. York, do you want me to wash your face for you?”“I painted my face black for your sake.”That meant he was holding her responsible.Serenity was stunned and felt like this man was becoming more shameless and reckless.“Fine, I’ll clean it up for you since you did it for my sake. Why didn’t you just paint your entire face black in the first place?” Serenity said as she pulled him into the kitchen.Zachary followed her and stopped after two steps. He frowned and asked Serenity, “Why are you bringing me to the kitchen?”“There’s a tap in the kitchen. I’m forbidden to enter your room, so how can I wash your face if I don’t take you to the kitchen? Or you can wait here. I’ll get a wet towel and wipe your face clean.”Zachary was speechless.He shot himself in the foot, and it hurt so much.After a moment of silence, he said indifferently, “I have a men’s facial cleanser that I often use in my

Zachary turned his head and saw Serenity savoring the sight of him. When Serenity noticed that he was looking at her, she asked, “Are you gonna strip further?”She pointed at his pants to tell him that he had not taken off his pants yet.Zachary was speechless.He took off his shirt because he did not want it to get wet when he was washing his face.What was she thinking about when he took off his shirt?Zachary turned around and took a step to stand in front of Serenity. When he was in such proximity, Serenity reached out and wanted to touch his lean pecs. She praised him, “You have a great body since you exercise so regularly.”Zachary grabbed her wandering hand to stop her from touching him.He warned her with a dark expression and said in a deep voice, “Serenity, do you know the consequences of touching me?”Before she could answer, he flicked her forehead with his other hand. This had become a habit of his.Zachary enjoyed flicking Serenity’s forehead after doing so for a

Zachary was silent for a moment before he said, “My parents still have income, and there are a lot of flowers and fruit trees on our family’s farmland. Every year, we make a lot of money by selling flowers and fruits. We’re not filthy rich, but we’re also not poor either.“Even if the elders are retired, they’ll run some small businesses that aren’t so profitable and tiring, but they can pass the time and make their lives feel more fulfilling.“I’ve given my parents money, but they declined. I gave it to them once, but they returned twice as much to me so I can save it for my wife.”Serenity thought of the last time she met her father-in-law. Although he was old, he was a well-kept gentleman who had excellent composure.Her mother-in-law did not really like Serenity but was graceful not to target her. She spoke gently and looked youthful. Serenity felt that outsiders would think they were sisters when they were to walk side by side.Serenity and Zachary had been married for a whil

Serenity returned to her room and closed the door behind her. She leaned against it and touched her burning face. She had no clue why she blushed.Maybe she saw something when she accompanied Liberty to catch Hank and Jessica in the act last night.After standing there for a while, Serenity hurriedly went into the shower because she had to make breakfast for Zachary later.Before that, Serenity suddenly thought of Mrs. Lane and called her. After Mrs. Lane answered the phone, Serenity said, “Mrs. Lane, you can take Sonny to my store later, so you don’t have to rush back.”“Okay.”“How’s my sister?”“She’s acting like she’s okay and says she’s going to work after breakfast. I’m making a cup of coffee for her to boost her energy because she didn’t sleep well last night.”Serenity felt sorry for her sister, but she also knew that it was not appropriate for Liberty to take the day off. After all, Liberty had only just started work a few days ago.“Ask my sister to be careful when

Serenity had no recollection of it at all.She only drank two bottles of beer. Although she fell asleep afterward, she was not considered drunk. How could she vomit if she was not drunk?Did she vomit because she ate too much last night?Serenity was a little skeptical. However, it was just a drawing anyway, and Zachary had no reason to lie to her. Hence, Serenity dropped the subject.She would heed Liberty’s advice and drink less in the future.“Do you want to get it back?”“How can you get it back? Even if you do, it’s all mushed up. It’s okay, I’ll just redraw it.”Zachary said apologetically, “I didn’t know that drawing was so important. I just grabbed it without a second look. Next time, don’t put your drawing on the dresser. It’s too close to the bed.”“Okay.”Serenity thought to herself, ‘Well, this kind of thing can’t happen every day…’She would not drink every day either.“Mr. York, you don’t have to feel sorry. It’s my fault for not putting it away properly. Don’t

Josh was waiting for Zachary at the entrance of the office building.His pearly whites welcomed Zachary.“I thought you weren’t coming to the office today.”Josh followed Zachary inside while the bodyguards stopped at the entrance of the office building.“If I don’t come in and ask you to preside over the meeting, you’ll just complain about how much you must’ve owed me in the past life that you’re enslaved by me now.”“You’re quite self-aware and know that you’ve been enslaving me this whole time, huh?”Zachary turned his head to look at him. “I’m just providing a stage for you to perform. If I didn’t, would you be able to get the attention of your patriarch?”The younger generation of the Bucham family was not inferior to the York family.Josh stood out among the Bucham family’s younger generation mainly because of his capability, his friendship with Zachary, and his position in the top management of York Corporation.He was the most valued nephew of the Bucham family’s patri

Zachary looked at Josh speechlessly.Josh touched his nose embarrassedly and said, “I’m suddenly looking forward to the blind date with Ms. Sox.”“I’ll arrange for you two to meet this Saturday afternoon. You can decide on the location and let me know once you’ve booked the place. Then I’ll get Serenity to inform Ms. Sox.”“That’s the day after tomorrow! Zack, look at me now. Do I look good? Do I have acne on my face? Is my beard too long?”The elevator arrived at the top floor.Zachary waited for the elevator door to open and left without Josh, who was like a peacock ready to spread its train of feathers.Josh hurriedly followed in his footsteps.“Mr. York, Mr. Bucham.”Mr. Chaplin stood up and greeted the two bosses.Both of them nodded in response to Mr. Chaplin’s greeting.After entering Zachary’s office, Zachary pointed to the door of his lounge and said, “I have a mirror in the lounge, so you can go in and take a look in the mirror.”Josh pulled out his chair and sat i

Austin quickly left the CEO’s office. Just as he stepped out, he ran into Tati, who was looking for Isabella.“Ms. Tati,” Austin greeted politely.Tati nodded and waited for Austin to leave before she knocked on the office door and entered.“Austin came early today to cook for you,” Tati said, holding a folder in her hand and opening it as she walked toward Isabelle.She sat down at the desk, handed over the folder, and said, “Isa, this is urgent. Please take a look.”Isabella took the document, glancing through it as she replied, “He comes around this time every day, neither early nor late.”“That Longbottom fellow came by again?” Tati asked.It was only after Mr. Longbottom had directly asked to see Isabella that Tati found out the old lecher had come again.“Yes, but I didn’t meet him. He brought some gifts, claiming they were holiday presents for us. I had them sent back. He’s too ambitious, and he has bad intentions. We’re absolutely on guard against him. Why would we give

Isabella turned her head to look at Austin.Austin stopped the massage and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you feeling any discomfort? I can work on it. I don't give people massages often, so I don’t have much experience. I'll keep giving you more massages as practice so I'll be able to serve you better.”“It's not that,” Isabella smiled. “It's actually very comfortable. It’s just that I really want to meet your grandmother every time you mention her.”In Isabella's mind, Austin's grandmother had already become something of a legendary figure.Austin thought to himself, ‘Nana’s already met you. You probably met her before, you just didn't know it was her.’His nana had surely spent a lot of time observing Isabella, getting to know her, and confirming that her character and abilities were suitable for him before choosing Isabella for him.“When you’re less busy, if you’re willing, you can come visit us in Wiltspoon. Lots of flowers bloom in spring, and there’s beautiful scenery ever
Chapter 4056
When Isabella first took over the family business, many of her grandparents' and parents' friends and relatives openly tried to sabotage her. They played dirty tricks, schemed, and tried various ways to undermine her.They wanted to take advantage of her, and they also did not want her to take control of the family’s legacy. They tried to prevent her from establishing herself in the company, even going as far as to collaborate with outsiders to trap her.She had suffered countless setbacks, faced numerous conspiracies, and even experienced several so-called accidents, nearly losing her life. It was only after all this that she truly understood the treachery of human nature. From that point on, she learned to arm herself with cold indifference.Though she was taking over her own family’s business, it felt like she had to fight through a bloody battle to secure her place, as if she were a king striving to ascend the throne. It was exhausting and disheartening.However, she endured an

Austin said, “He’s definitely here to discuss a potential partnership with your company.“He's just the acting head of the Longbottoms. He doesn’t truly control the family. If the real head returns, everything he’s worked for will go to someone else.“The downfall of Belinda Fisher probably gave him a wake-up call and he doesn’t want to end up like that.“He’s definitely seeking to cooperate with you regarding his personal business. He’s just using the Longbottoms’ name, since their influence in Windermere is enormous.”In terms of wealth, the O'Connors and the Longbottoms were on equal footing, but the O'Connors had fewer members and did not have the same level of influence in Windermere as the Longbottoms.Isabella said, “He’s very ambitious. A partnership would only just be the beginning. Once it’s established, he’ll start thinking about how to cheat us and steal our business.“Plus, he’s very lecherous. Nobody can put a number to how many women he’s toyed with. Some even lost

Tony was aware that whenever his wife had to play the villain, it was always to protect him. He said, “You're right, I misspoke. Your mother isn’t that kind of person.”“Manny, I’ll be leaving soon. You stay here, and I’ll leave half of my men with you. If anything comes up that you can't handle, contact me. I’ll be waiting to hear good news from you.” Tony decided to fly to Wiltspoon in the afternoon. He would only stay for two or three days before returning to Havenmill to handle business.However, as he thought about how he was working like a horse for Longbottom Corporation when many of the benefits did not even belong to him personally, Tony felt a bit disgruntled.“Got it.” Manny did not reject his father’s arrangement.As the Longbottom father and son were discussing how to deal with the O’Connors, Austin entered Isabella’s office.Isabella was busy, so Austin did not disturb her. He quietly sat at the tea table and made some tea.“It seems you’ve learned the art of tea-

Manny had never been to Wiltspoon, but he knew from his father that several prominent families in Wiltspoon had close ties with the Johnsons from Annenburg. It was possible that the child adopted by the Johnsons’ young missus was Laurence. Unfortunately, he could not meet that child, so he could not be a hundred percent certain. The child was currently out of sight and well-protected, hidden so effectively that even the Longbottoms’ information network could not find anything. The other prominent families in Wiltspoon were also helping to keep the child hidden, so Manny deeply disliked the people from these families. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they were still an obstacle to him and his father in their pursuit of becoming the true head of the family.“That's right. If we can conquer the O’Connors, we’ll have a backup plan,” his father said. “You must put your all into it, son. If you need help, just let me know, though this is also an opportunity for you to ge

Tony Longbottom was the only person who would put on such a parade. The big shots in Satbury usually had entourages of their own, but none would put on a spectacle as big as Tony would.As they departed in their car, Tony’s gracious demeanor utterly shattered.His face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression as he said, “I’ve never been treated like this before, even when the legitimate branch of the family still lived, and those two ignorant little girls actually refused to see me multiple times.”Manny was very angry too and he said, “Pops, since they refuse to go about this the easy way, we’ll have to show them the hard way. We can approach it from other angles, and once they’re completely out of business and they have nowhere else to turn to, they’ll be at our mercy.“Won’t they have to do as we please then? I want to marry them, they’ll have to marry me, and if I don’t, I’ll just make them my mistresses. Don’t the O’Connors have plenty of daughters? I’ll fuck every one of them

“Isabella O’Connor is so outstanding, so why are you asking me to go for Tati O’Connor instead?” Manny said under his breath in puzzlement.He had seen photos of the two ladies and Isabella’s appearance was more striking. She had a cold and aloof aura that easily triggered his desire to conquer her, and after just a few glances, he was captivated.If it were up to him, Manny would choose Isabella.Tony looked at his son, smiled, and said, “You can’t control her. Of course, if you manage to make her fall for you, we can talk about switching. But for now, focus on Tati O’Connor.”Tati was also beautiful. However, she did not have Isabella’s cold demeanor. She seemed much gentler, like she smiled often.“Marrying Tati O’Connor would be a big advantage for both you and our family.”Manny thought for a moment and then nodded in understanding. “Got it, Dad.”Manny’s good looks, wealth, honeyed tongue, and generosity toward girls made him good at winning them over. Pursuing a rich youn

After testing the O’Connor sisters and realizing they were not like other women, Mr. Longbottom thought of having his son marry Tati.He knew that his son would not be able to handle or control Isabella, so he set his sights on Tati. Tati probably did not realize she was considered an easy target. Most people underestimated her because she had always kept a low profile.At that moment, a young man got out from the other side of the Rolls-Royce. He resembled Mr. Longbottom. Indeed, he was Mr. Longbotton’s eldest son, Manny.“Dad.”Manny went to his father’s side and glanced at the building before him. He asked, “Aren’t we driving inside?”In Havenmill, Manny could do whatever he wished because his father was the interim head of the Longbottom family. While he had no respect for ordinary people at all, he was clever enough not to offend people he should not.He never parked his car outside the places he wanted to go and simply drove his car through the gates. However, Manny
