Chapter 885
Author: Gu Lingfei
Nevertheless, Josh was a brilliant man.

Mrs. Sox would sigh to herself every time Josh invited her son out for dinner. She would leap with delight if Josh asked her daughter out instead. In fact, Mrs. Sox would be laughing in her sleep.

Josh earnestly replied, “Mrs. Sox, I’m not pretending to be Jasmine’s date. To put it accurately, I’m pursuing Jasmine. She hasn’t agreed to be my girlfriend.”

Mrs. Sox put the phone away from her ear, making sure she had called the right number. She picked her ear before placing the phone back against it. She asked, “Are you really Mr. Bucham?”

“It’s me, Mrs. Sox.”

“Did you say you’re wooing Jasmine and not Drake?”

Josh replied, “Mrs. Sox… I’m a straight guy. I only like women.”

He moaned in his mind, ‘My future mother-in-law and Jasmine are the same to suspect I have a thing for Drake.’

Amusingly, Mrs. Sox did not stop him from asking Drake out despite her suspicions.

The old lady was quite open-minded.

“But you’re so nice to Drake,

    Unfortunately, those good days were coming to an end.Josh finally ended the call with Mrs. Sox.He returned the phone to Jasmine and looked at her with a smile and said, “Let’s go to your aunt’s house for dinner tonight. What should I prepare? What’s my status now?”Jasmine glanced at him as she continued to eat, and said, “Even if you’re a scumbag, my aunt and the others will still think that you’re the best.”He was Josh Bucham, the Mr. Bucham from York Corporation, and from the mysterious Bucham family. That status and identity were what her aunt wanted her niece to have.When they discovered that Serenity’s husband was the heir of the York family, Jasmine’s mother and aunt envied Serenity’s good fortune in front of Jasmine for having taken one of the most outstanding men in Wiltspoon.They always looked at Jasmine when they praised Serenity, and Jasmine knew very well what those expressions meant.Josh said confidently, “I’m not a scumbag. Not to blow my own trumpet, but th

    Jasmine could not help but laugh. “You can be a landlord whenever you want.”“My family’s houses and stores belong to my parents, not me. My mom only told me to collect the rent because she’s too lazy to do it herself, and she gives me a few thousand as remuneration.”Her parents’ money belonged to themselves.Her capabilities could only be measured by the money she earned by herself.“Aunt Rachel said that Shawn came back and asked us to go over for dinner for a get-together.“He just came back for the weekend to see my aunt. He won’t try to bug Seren, so you and Mr. York should stop attacking him and Lowe Enterprise.”Jasmine was not dumb. She figured everything out after learning that Zachary was from the York family.Jasmine would not believe that Josh did not have a hand in Lowe Enterprise being attacked.Josh did not have a guilty conscience, so he said, “Zachary only told Mr. Lowe the reason he terminated their cooperation out of consideration for you and I. Otherwise, L

    At those words, Shawn was shell-shocked. He was in utter disbelief.“You’re lying, right? You’re lying to me because you want me to give up. How can Serenity’s husband be Mr. York? I...” Shawn suddenly remembered that he had not seen Serenity’s husband since she got married.“I have no reason to lie to you. I also found out about this not long ago. It was Mr. York who told us himself. He said that he was attacking Lowe Enterprise because you’re pining for his wife. Shawn, the entire Lowe family will be buried with you if you continue to pester Serenity.”Solemnly his mother added, “You don’t have to bring benefits to the Lowe family, but don’t drag Lowe Enterprise through the mud.”“Zachary... Mr. York’s name is Zachary?”Shawn was in incredulity.Mr. York was Serenity’s husband!“It’s not surprising that you don’t know Mr. York’s name. Many people don’t either. Shawn, it doesn’t matter what his name is. What matters is that he’s Serenity’s husband! Putting aside his status, pos

    The phone in Zachary’s hand almost slipped to the ground. He anxiously called Josh.“Josh, which hospital is Seren in?”His words affected her so much that they caused her to hurt herself.Zachary regretted and blamed himself.Why could he not control his foul temper?“I don’t know which hospital she’s at either. I saw Jasmine alone when I came to the store. I only learned that your wife was injured and sent to a hospital by Elisa when I asked. If you want to know what happened, then call and ask.”Zachary immediately hung up the call with Josh.He called Serenity.The line rang for a long time before she picked up.“Which hospital are you at, Seren? Are you badly hurt? I’ll be right there.”The person who answered the phone was Elisa.Serenity was getting an IV infusion.It was only after arriving at the hospital did Elisa see how deep Serenity’s wound was. It continued to bleed even as the doctor cleaned the wound again. Elisa was a little afraid of blood, so her legs wen

    Zachary was speechless.There was no doubt Elisa was Clive’s sister—the siblings were the same. When they found out that he was Serenity’s husband, they both acted like they had seniority over him as Serenity’s older cousins.He hung up the phone.The nearest hospital to Wiltspoon School was Wiltspoon Community Hospital. Even without checking, he could guess that Elisa sent Serenity to Wiltspoon Community Hospital.Elisa was not angry at being hung up on by Zachary. She helped put Serenity’s phone back into her purse and said, “Seren, your mom is my aunt, which means we’re cousins. The DNA test confirmed it, so it’s an indisputable fact.“I’m a year older than you, so I have seniority over you, right? Zachary is your husband. It stands to reason that I also have seniority over him. You need to make him address me more politely, or my anger won’t be relieved.”Serenity wanted to laugh and said, “It’s his mouth. I can’t control him if he doesn’t want to do it.”“You have to contro

    Serenity looked at Elisa quietly.Elisa said, “I’m a little tired from talking so much. I’ll go get a glass of water. Do you want one?”“Yes, please, and thank you.”Elisa reached out and lightly pinched Serenity’s face, laughing. “We’re sisters. There’s no need to be so polite. You take quite good care of your face. It’s really nice to touch. Does Zachary like to touch your face?”Serenity was speechless.Before she could answer, Elisa smiled and walked away.She poured Serenity and herself a cup of warm water.Serenity stretched out her injured hand, but instead of handing her the cup, Elisa brought it straight to Serenity’s lips and said thoughtfully, “I’ll feed you.”“I can do it myself. I can’t do anything else with my fingers wrapped like this, but I can still hold a glass of water.”Although that was what Serenity said, she still accepted Elisa’s thoughtfulness.After they both finished their water, Elisa sat down again and said, “That’s all I have to say to you for no

    Never in her wildest dreams would she guess that she was lied to by Grandma May and Zachary. The man whom she thought was an ordinary salaryman turned out to be the eldest young master of the York family.A plot that only appeared in novels actually happened in real life. Serenity was truly dumbfounded.She was caught off guard and did not know what to do.She could not leave, but she could not continue on either. She was extremely conflicted.It was hard for her to replicate the path taken by her aunt.Times were better back when her aunt was young. She could climb up as long as she seized the opportunity.However, it was completely different now.Of course, Serenity knew that women should strive for self-improvement. She never thought of relying on a man for the rest of her life. From her sister’s marriage, she witnessed that she could not believe men when they said nonsense like “I’ll support you”. Their mentality would change at any time.Several men in suits nervously gath

    “Right, the head of their family is the same as you. He also got married out of nowhere. His wife grew up in the countryside too, but she was much luckier than you. Although she was adopted, her adoptive parents treated her as if she was their own and raised her well.“She has adoptive parents who genuinely love her, and she has an older brother who spoils her like crazy too. Later, she found her biological parents who turned out to be from the richest family in Meadspring. Her identity changed from a country bumpkin to the missy of the Meadspring’s Lafayette family overnight. She’s a match for the Johnson family head whether it’s her status or identity.”Elisa was from the Stone family, so she knew all about the gentry’s affairs.Her cousin was not as lucky as Mrs. Johnson.“Seren, do you think I should go over and greet him? I’ve met Remy several times before.”Serenity laughed. “Since you know each other, go over and say hello.”“I think so too. Sit here while I go and say hel

    Tati had made it clear that she did not love Austin, and purely admired him. Why was Isabella looking at her like that? Austin’s fiancée would never be her. If it were, Austin would have treated her differently. So who on earth was Austin’s fiancee?Why would Old Mrs. York choose someone from Windermere for him?Austin came to be a chef before pursuing his future wife. Which city in Windermere was his fiancée from? Was it Satbury?If it were Satbury, which elite daughter could it be?There were many elite daughters in Satbury, but not many were superior to the O’Connor daughters. Tati recalled Austin’s special treatment toward Isabella. A thought crossed her mind, ‘Is Isabella the lady Old Mrs. York has chosen for Austin?’“Tati, I want to discuss something work-related with you.”Isabella thought Tati remained silent because of Austin’s news. Therefore, she used work as an excuse and brought Tati to the study on the second floor. After closing the door, Isabella poured

    Louis and Phillip were not the only ones worried. Even Delphine and the rest were anxious too. While they did think it was inappropriate for someone of Austin’s status to be their chef, the food he made was truly delicious. They had already gotten used to his cooking. If he were to leave, they would have to adjust their tastes to another chef’s cooking. Tati had even more concerns. Isabella admired capable people. Austin was highly skilled in cooking and had a head for business too. Moreover, he was a young master of a wealthy family. That made him more suitable for Isabella. Would Isabella be attracted?Isabella probably could feel how differently he treated her, right?“Did you chase Austin away, Isa? Why didn’t he come back with you?”Louis continued asking questions. He was worried that Isabella might have fired Austin. Not only could Austin make delicious food, but he would also play with the boys. Louis and Phillip really liked Austin. They thought he was fun,

    Austin knew her question was related to Tati.He was aware of Tati’s admiration for him.Nevertheless, he recognized Tati’s feelings as pure admiration. On the contrary, Tati must have noticed that he treated Isabella differently. She probably told Isabella about it in private, but Isabella simply did not have plans for marriage due to her heavy responsibilities. Austin said with certainty, “No. Although I haven’t succeeded in pursuing her, I’ve set my heart on her. She’s my fiancée, and she’ll become my wife in the future. The York family doesn’t allow divorce unless our wives cheat on us. However, that definitely won’t happen.“Every woman Nana chose has a good character and values.“I’ll be loyal to my marriage and family. I’ll only love my only wife for my entire life. How outstanding other women are is none of my business.”Austin did not want to be like Dylan. He would rather spend more time inventing recipes. Isabella said with a hint of regret, “Okay.”She had to te

    Isabella could not find anyone who suited her tastes in Satbury. She knew the city was filled with talented young men, but none made her heart race. Their goal was usually the O’Connor family business. The men knew Louis was young and that Isabella was the head of the family. If they could win her heart, it would be equivalent to conquering the O’Connor family. From there, they could gradually swallow the family whole. Isabella dared not date anyone. She was scared of falling into someone’s trap. She would not let her feelings show, even if she had a crush on someone.“Many people are aiming for my family’s status and wealth. I dare not date or get married for fear that I’d destroy the family once and for all. Those people will go to great lengths for money and power.”Isabella was even wary of young masters of wealthy families, let alone ambitious men from inferior backgrounds. “I know Nana is doing this for us. She had chosen our wives. Our parents didn’t need to worry

    Isabella knew it would not be that quick. By the time Louis could take over, which would be twenty years later, she would already be close to fifty years old. If she got married and had children within the next two years, her children could inherit her businesses a few years after Louis took over the family business. That way, she could finally retire for good. “Austin, you’re aware that I sent someone to Wiltspoon to investigate your background, right? There was no information about you being a young master of the Yorks. Was it because you didn’t want me to know about it?”“No.”Austin said honestly, “I wasn’t aware. Zachary was the one who told me that you investigated me twice. You couldn’t find the connection between me and York Corporation because Zachary covered it up for me.“He knew that I was here to cook and improve my skills. If you knew I was a young master of the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon, you might not have hired me as your private chef. If so, I wouldn’t be

    Isabella smiled and said, “If the person taking over the family business doesn’t have true ability, they won’t be able to bear the responsibility. In this way, they can still prove themselves. Of course, starting a business from scratch and inheriting from a generation or two back is different.“For those who are supported by their family, no matter how many achievements they have, others will say they relied on their family’s support. If they fail, people will call them useless and a waste, and that family wealth will never last more than three generations. They’ll just wait for your family to go bankrupt.“So, without real ability, no one can take over the family business.”Austin was silent for a moment before responding, “What you say is true. My eldest brother, for example, is very capable. Although we could all take on the responsibility, none of us is as steady as he is. He’s the real anchor of our family. With him around, we don’t have to worry even if the sky falls.“Becau

    Oh, right. Ruth mentioned that the York family elders were very open-minded.Open-minded elders and a good family culture were what cultivated outstanding children. It was little wonder that Austin was exceptional and bore such an impressive demeanor. It turned out that he was from a prestigious family.“Isa, what's wrong with Austin? Can we start eating now?”Louis and Phillip were completely confused. All they knew was Austin was not from a simple family, and that he was very capable. Even Ruth had shaken hands with him.The two boys were too young to understand anything besides that. They were just hungry and wanted to eat. It was cold, and the barbecue was very comforting to eat hot off the grill.Isabella smiled and said, “All you two think about is eating. Well, the meat and vegetables are all cooked, so we can start eating now.”As she spoke, she grabbed some meat, shrimp, and vegetables for her baby brothers. Then, she began eating, and everyone followed suit.Ruth too

    After Austin left, Isabella asked her friend, "Ruth, do you know the Wiltspoon Yorks? Is Austin really one of them?"“You’ve never been to Wiltspoon, Isabella, and it's so far away. Plus your family doesn't have business there, so it's normal you don't know much about them. I was there for half a month for a trip, and my in-laws have business there.“Last time, when I went on a business trip with my husband, we heard a lot of gossip and rumors related to the York family.“In Wiltspoon, there are several prominent families, but the wealthiest and most powerful is the York family. York Corporation holds the same status in the business world of Wiltspoon as your family does here.”Ruth was introducing the York family to everyone, giving them a preliminary understanding of the family. After that explanation, Ruth added, “The York family has a great family culture to boot. The men in their family are all very loyal. Once they marry, they will remain loyal to their wife and family for

    “Your family? As in, Wiltspoon’s York Corporation? Is that your family’s company?” Ruth asked in shock. She looked at Austin, disbelief written all over her face. The members of the O'Connor family were all watching the two of them.“Yeah, that’s my family's company. Our ancestors were good enough to build a strong foundation my elder brother now manages.”“Where do you fall in the order of your siblings and cousins?” Ruth had once traveled to Wiltspoon with her husband for a business trip and had spent half a month there, so she knew a bit about the most prominent family in Wiltspoon. She had also been deeply impressed by the good values the Yorks had. She had heard that the York sons were all exceptional, talented individuals, and indeed, Austin was exceptionally handsome—so much so that it could even incur a god’s jealousy. But how did a young master of the York family end up working as a chef for the O'Connor family?Though York Corporation was based in Wiltspoon, its fina
