Married at First Sight Chapter 624
“Why isn’t my uncle back yet?” “He’s at a business dinner. He won’t be back until midnight.” Shawn’s younger sister was still in college. Now that it was winter break, she went traveling with her friends and would be back before the new year. There was no one else at the house. The aunt and niece took a seat on the sofa while Shawn sat beside the pair. He nervously stared at his mother. “What do you want to talk to me about, Jas?” “Aunt Rachel, I want to first put it out there that this is not Serenity’s fault. Please listen to what I have to say before getting mad. You can be mad at your son, but don’t take it out on Serenity.” Jasmine had to first give her aunt a fair warning and assure Serenity’s safety. “I won’t come over to your place if you take it out on Serenity, Aunt Rachel.” Mrs. Lowe replied with a smile, “What is it? You make it sound so somber. Why would I take it out on Serenity? Serenity has been friends with you for years. I watched her grow up. She’s

“Aunt Rachel, I didn’t drive and took Shawn’s car here. It’d be great if you could arrange for the chauffeur to drive me back to the shop.” Holding back her anger, Mrs. Lowe summoned a maid to arrange the ride for Jasmine with the chauffeur. Once Jasmine was gone, Mrs. Lowe slapped her son and lashed out, “Shawn, are you trying to infuriate me? Serenity is three years older than you. She doesn’t come from a good family. Are you blind to fall for her?” “Aren’t you fond of Serenity, Mom?“So what if she’s older? It’s not like she’s thirty years older than I am. How is it that she doesn’t come from a good family? Her family isn’t involved in the mafia. She comes from a family of farmers, not criminals.” Mrs. Lowe grimaced. “I like her and see her as another niece of mine because of Jasmine. I’m only fond of her on the condition that she doesn’t get involved with you.“I wouldn’t have allowed you two to spend time together had I known what was going on in your head.“You better
Married at First Sight Chapter 626
There were certain things that although Shawn was unwilling to face, he was aware of them. Serenity did not have an influential figure to lean on, but his mother was Mrs. Lowe. The Lowes were considerably wealthier and more powerful than Serenity. There was no way Serenity could survive against his mother’s tactics. The only thing left to do would be to leave Wiltspoon. “I don’t want you to try. You must let go of your feelings for her!” Mrs. Lowe ordered. Keeping to her word, Mrs. Lowe summoned two bodyguards and instructed them, “You are to follow Shawn wherever he goes from now on. Report to me if he ever goes near Wiltspoon School.” Shawn turned ashen. Meanwhile, the Lowes’ chauffeur drove Jasmine to the shop. Serenity had moved all the display racks into the shops and packed up her crafting tools and materials. She even cleared the unfinished groceries out of the fridge and bagged them along with the snacks. She was ready to bring them all back to her house. The sh

Zachary, who was dubbed the petty guy by Serenity, took a few hours of sleep at the office before waking up. He opened his eyes and found a thick jacket draped over him. Removing the jacket, he looked at the time. “It’s nine at night,” Zachary cried, unable to believe that he slept that long. There were a few thermal lunch boxes on his desk. It must be the dinner brought by the manager of the subsidiary company. The manager must have seen him asleep and did not want to wake him. The thick jacket over Zachary must be from the manager too. Straightening his back, Zachary sat in silence for a while before heading to the bathroom to freshen himself up with a good splash of cold water to his face. He walked out of the bathroom several minutes later. Having returned to his seat, he opened the food containers. The food was still warm. He sat behind his desk and dug in. Zachary pulled out his phone and checked his messages. Other than the messages from his senior executives about

Josh had no words. He commented, “What’s up with you two? You were getting along just fine and giving us front-row seats to your public display of affection, but now another fight broke out. No wonder Serenity went to a bar. It was all because of you.” Zachary replied, “Look into where they are right now and how long they’ve been there. Are they drunk? Give me a reply if you hear anything back.” “Alright. I’ll get right to it.” Josh swiftly hung up the call and dove into investigating the girls’ whereabouts. While waiting for an answer, Zachary contacted his private plane crew and instructed them, “Prepare to fly back. I want to return to Wiltspoon in a few minutes.” He did not want Serenity to drop him off at the airport when he needed to go away for business. One reason was he had to return to the office, and the second was he did not have a plane ticket ready. Zachary took a private plane abroad. Following Zachary’s last-minute notice, the crew started flight preparati

Zachary gave up on dialing Serenity’s number. A call from Josh could not come at a better time. “Where are they drinking, Josh?” Zachary went right to the question the moment the call was connected. Hearing the anxiousness in his tone, Josh took the chance to tease Zachary. “Feeling desperate? Do you have ants in your pants? Can’t wait to get back here?” “Josh!” This was the worst possible time to make fun of him. Zachary was so desperate, he wished he had wings to fly all the way back to Wiltspoon. Josh chuckled. “I couldn’t pass up on the chance. Only Serenity can bring the anxiousness out of you.” Zachary had always remained stoic in the face of adversity. To get Zachary restless was not something Josh could see every day. “They’re at Neon Nights. They arrived half an hour ago. Jasmine and her young brother are with Serenity.” Zachary frowned. “How old is Jasmine’s brother?” Why did Jasmine have so many brothers? Although Shawn was her cousin, they shared

“I’m still sober. Another couple of drinks won’t make me drunk.” “You should quit while you’re at it.“We came here to have a drink or two. Too much is not good for you.” Serenity stared at her eerily. Jasmine fell silent for a moment before getting up to leave. She reminded her brother to watch Serenity. A while later, Jasmine returned with a pen, papers, and a glass of wine in hand. “This is your last drink. I asked for a few sheets of paper for you to draw on.” “Jas, Serenity’s drunk. Can she still draw?” Serenity claimed that she was sober but the truth was, she was drunk. Instead of answering his brother’s question, Jasmine handed the pen and papers to Serenity. Serenity took the stuff and started drawing on the paper without taking the drink. First, she drew a ball. Drake was speechless. It was not hard to draw a circle in a drunken state. Drake believed it was a no-brainer. Serenity then drew a lake with way too many wavy lines along the shore. Following

“Is that you, Ms. Sox?” a voice interrupted the trio. Jasmine and her brother turned their heads toward the source of the voice. Serenity calmly drank her wine as though she did not see Josh. “Mr. Bucham?” Jasmine was surprised to find Josh here. Josh explained, “I got together with a few buddies to let loose here since it’s the weekend. I wasn’t expecting to see you here, Ms. Sox.“Do you mind if I sit here?” Jasmine replied with a smile, “Well, you already sat down. Are you waiting for your friends?” She saw that he was alone. Josh sat down and said hello to Serenity. Serenity merely bobbed her head as an acknowledgment to his greeting. “My friends have left.” Looking at the drawing, Josh asked Jasmine, “Who drew this? Can I have a closer look?” With Jasmine’s eyes turning to her best friend, Josh got an idea of the artist behind the artwork. Serenity went on drinking without a word. Taking it as a no, Josh did not pick the drawing up, but he was still able to

Caroline had inherited Belinda’s ruthlessness, after all.“I’m heading to the hospital right away.”Hearing that Caroline had been rescued but was now in the emergency room, Liberty could not sleep any longer. She immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.Duncan quickly followed suit.“Duncan, it’s still dark outside, and it’s cold. You should get some more sleep.” Liberty, out of consideration for her husband's limited mobility and his discomfort with the cold Jensburg spring, wanted Duncan to stay home and rest. She could go to the hospital alone.Duncan said as he changed his clothes, “No, I’ll go with you. I may not be able to walk long distances, but I can manage a short walk.“I’ll get the bodyguards to come with us to the hospital, so you don’t have to worry about taking care of me.”Although Caroline’s injuries were the result of her own plan, Duncan still did not feel comfortable letting Liberty go to the hospital alone.He was afraid something might happe

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom in Fisher Manor, Liberty suddenly woke up after a two-hour sleep.She sat up abruptly. Her movement startled her husband beside her.“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” Duncan also sat up, turning on the bedroom light, and asked with concern.“I dreamed that Caroline was in trouble. She refused to let me follow her. Her plan was to just get injured, but I’m so afraid her life’s in danger.”Having spent so much time with Caroline, Liberty had come to admire this aunt of hers.If it were not for the grudges of the previous generation, she and Caroline could have become close friends.Even now, the two of them held mutual respect for each other.Among the Fisher family members, she only respected Caroline; even Hayden only respected Caroline.Hayden had even once considered matchmaking Caroline with Hugh. However, Hugh did not like Caroline, and Caroline had no feelings for Hugh either. Caroline admired Hayden, but Hayden was a woman.After

Although they could not take over the Fisher family legacy, their mother was the head of the family, making them the young masters of the household.They had lived a life of luxury since childhood, never experiencing hardship or poverty. They enjoyed a life of indulgence, spending money like it was water, and were flattered and fawned over by others.Suddenly, they fell from the clouds to the cold, hard ground.No one flattered them anymore. No one curried favor with them. When they made mistakes or caused trouble, no one was there to cover for them.Relying on their own abilities, they could not earn much money. They no longer had the glory of spending money freely like they did not even know what money was.Thus, they could not accept it.Even though they had more than ordinary people, they were still unsatisfied.They wanted to return to their former glory, to the days when they were flattered, praised, and fawned over; to have everyone at their beck and call, living a life o

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
