Married at First Sight Chapter 93
“We’ve been operating our business on this street for years now. You all know what Seren’s like. Whatever that’s written online is bullsh*t.”Serenity did not say much to defend herself. It was Jasmine, who could not stand people getting the wrong message about her best friend, sticking up for Serenity. Jasmine spilled the beans on the sisters’ hardships while they were in the hands of the Hunts. It was a tell-all account that included the latest fiasco of the relatives demanding Serenity to foot the grandmother’s medical bills and cover the cousins’ gas and whatnot after the grandmother had fallen ill. Everybody had borne witness to Serenity’s character. Even the other booksellers down the street, despite the competition among businesses, believed Serenity was not that kind of girl. Now that they got the whole story, everybody was fired up to put the truth across to the netizens. The Hunts should not get away with this. Now that was a low blow even for the Hunts. They we

Serenity fell into contemplation before agreeing to let Zachary come with. Walking around the cash register, Serenity told her best friend, “I’m heading out for a while, Jasmine. I’ll leave the shop in your hands. Reassure my sister that everything’s going to be okay when she comes over. I’ll sort things out.” “Okay.” After telling her best friend to be safe, Jasmine watched as Serenity and Zachary took off. Sitting in Zachary’s car, Serenity asked him, “Mr. York, do you know anyone in the media?” “Yes. Do you need their help with something?” Serenity replied, “I’m going back to my hometown to take photos of my uncles’ houses. It’ll be more convincing with a third party validating it. I still don’t know what my relatives do for a living.” Her grandparents were still hogging her family home too. Serenity intended to snap photos of their living conditions. A visual proof was crucial to disapprove their claims. As for the public witch hunt online, Serenity was not going to

Caught off guard by the response, Serenity ensued with a smile. “Many couples break up in the face of adversity. We got married without knowing anything about each other and have only lived together for two weeks. I’m grateful that you’re willing to face this together with me.” The people around her might be embroiled in the scandal if not handled well. “My sister and brother-in-law were college sweethearts and had been dating for years before tying the knot. They also have a son together. My brother-in-law wasn’t very nice when he discovered that my sister and I were villainized on the internet.” Zachary fell silent for a while before responding, “Serenity, you can’t use your brother-in-law as the benchmark for every man out there. It’s unfair to them and not everyone’s the same.” He believed Hank’s feelings for Liberty had gone sour. As the new addition to the family, Zachary did not want to point out that Hank was having an affair without proof. However, it was his gut fee

“Of course, I can give you an extra day if you’re going on a blind date and getting married.” Josh disconnected his boss-cum-best-friend’s call. Zachary was trying to lead him astray! Not happening! Zachary only married in haste because his nana made him do it. Grandma May took a fancy to Serenity so much so she sacrificed her darling grandson’s marriage. After giving out directives to Josh, Zachary got out of the car and went to get some snacks. By the time Serenity returned, Zachary had snacks ready for her in the car. “It’ll take some time to make the roundtrip. Have something to eat. Don’t starve yourself over a tiny issue,” he said.“Have you eaten?” “Yeah.” Zachary ate just enough to stop the hunger. The snacks were not to his liking. Seeing that Zachary was full, Serenity helped herself with the food. Zachary was tasked behind the wheel while Serenity filled her belly. Serenity’s hometown was over an hour’s drive on the highway from Wiltspoon. It had been

Serenity swiftly wiped away her tears before turning to look at the lady. Serenity immediately recognized her. “You must be Mrs. Deli.” The lady was one of Mom’s close friends when Mom was still alive. “It’s me. You came back.” Mrs. Deli was very friendly toward Serenity. “Do you want to come by my place for a catch-up?” She looked at the house and said to Serenity, “I heard your grandmother is sick and getting treatment at a hospital in the city. Your grandfather and your uncles made quite the fuss when sending your grandmother there. They all took their cars. People might mistake them for going to some wedding or holiday.“I’ve never seen them so proactive, but somehow, they were very zealous the moment your grandmother fell sick. They were just putting on a show for us.” Mrs. Deli had no idea about the tweet online since she was without internet. The viral tweet had not been up for a few hours, so it had not spread far and wide yet. “Mrs. Deli, do they usually ignore

“Back then, your grandparents said you didn’t have to help them with the cost of living if you split them half of the insurance money. Besides, your grandmother is blessed with a lot of children. You girls shouldn’t be forking out the money for her medical bills.“Your parents were still at the morgue when they seized a share of the blood money and hogged your house and land. They wouldn’t even take you in or let you visit your parents’ grave. Don’t feel bad for not footing your grandmother’s medical expenses.” As a close friend to Serenity’s mother, Mrs. Deli was aware of the events at the time. Once the uncles got their hands on the cash, they wanted no part in the funeral since Serenity’s parents died in a gruesome car crash. They either feigned sickness or made up some sort of excuse to evade the responsibility. It was the mayor who had to step in and give the family a telling-off. With the community giving them judging looks, the uncles begrudgingly helped put the funeral a

“Won’t they try to explain themselves online?” Old Mr. Hunt asked. The internet was a foreign world to the old man. However, he knew the story his grandson posted on Twitter was made up. He was worried that his two granddaughters would straighten the facts and leave the Hunts without the money and pride in the end. “Who would believe them? We hired trolls to write nasty comments and spill dirt on Serenity and Liberty. The netizens will blast them to kingdom come if they even so much as get online.” Old Mrs. Hunt chimed in. “Mike, use my phone and give Serenity another call. She better delivers the money right now if she doesn’t want to face public outrage. Liberty probably doesn’t have much money since she has a family. You must get Serenity to open her wallet.” “Say that you’ll delete the tweet in exchange for six hundred thousand dollars or be prepared to be ruined. She won’t be able to show her face in public,” Old Mr. Hunt added.“Granddad, we shouldn’t be the ones to call

Zachary quietly handed the phone to Serenity. With many netizens blowing up Serenity’s phone with text messages and calls, her phone was out of battery. Serenity could at least get some peace and quiet, but her friends and family had trouble getting in touch. “Who is it?” “Nana,” Zachary answered.Serenity took the phone and greeted, “Nana.” “I just got online and found out about the tweet, Serenity. Are you okay? Do you need help? Just let Zachary know. He’s been around the business world to know a lot of big CEOs. It’s a piece of cake for him to sort things out. “Don’t feel shy to ask. You’re married. You can tell me if he doesn’t even help with this tiny favor. I’ll beat him up.” Grandma May had only learned about it now. It was mainly because the viral story did not get far enough. Plus, the tabloid post about Zachary and Elisa snagged the attention away from the tweet. It did not make much of an impact either when it was retweeted by the press. Grandma found out fro

“If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, then there’s nothing we can do,” Adrian said.The Dott brothers pretended to decline the money, but after some back-and-forth, they eventually accepted, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.“I’ll call a car to take you back,” Adrian said, pulling out his phone to arrange transportation for them.Of course, they were not actually leaving Jensburg. They planned to start their operation tonight, aiming to deal with Caroline quickly to avoid any complications.“Thank you, Mr. Clark. You've already done so much for us,” the Dott brothers said, continuing to play their roles. They had come this far in their act and did not mind keeping up the charade a little longer.Soon, a black car really did arrive and stopped nearby. The driver stepped out and approached, respectfully greeting the three Clark brothers.“Take these two gentlemen home. They are Ms. Celine’s biological brothers,

Justin returned to the dining room and packed up all the leftover dishes they had not finished, along with the opened but unfinished bottle of wine. He stuffed everything into several bags and carried them out. Handing the leftovers to Jacob, he said, “If we’re going to keep up appearances, we need to make it look like we’re really giving you our charity, so take these leftovers back with you. You can heat them up for dinner tonight, otherwise, just toss them in the trash after you leave, but don’t throw away the wine—only you two had it. We haven’t touched it.“This wine is really good stuff, too. Where you’re from, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to buy such fine wine. And if you did find any, it’d probably be fake.”Jacob took the leftovers and the unfinished bottle of wine from Justin. The wine was indeed excellent. In fact, he would have asked for it himself even if Justin had not offered it. In all his life, he had never tasted such good wine.“Once you’re re

Adrian beckoned Celine’s brothers closer in a low voice. The two had had some alcohol, and it was going to their heads. Their faces reddened in excitement and they hurried over.Adrian handed the suitcase to Jacob by the handle. He watched as Jacob laid it on the ground and opened it, exposing the thick wads of cash within.The Dott brothers' hands were trembling from excitement, for they had never seen so much cash before. At the thought that the bagful of cash was theirs now, wide smiles broke out across their faces. They each took a bundle and kissed it a couple of times.“I love this the most,” Jacob exclaimed excitedly. “The more, the better, and the more, the merrier.”“Me, too. Jacob, we’ll take ten bundles each. Let’s just keep the cash in this bag for now and when we get home, we’ll secretly divide it. For now, let’s not tell Mom, your wife, or any others.”The more people knew, the more talk there would be, so it was better for as few people as possible to know.Actuall
Chapter 4130
Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.

Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,

It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett

Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in

“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
Chapter 4125
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
