Chapter 936
Author: Gu Lingfei
“My boss suddenly showed mercy and attended the social function on his own. I’m quite relaxed, so I came over to pick you up after work. Let’s have a meal together. I made a reservation and even ordered the dishes at Wiltspoon Hotel. Once we arrive, we can straight away have the dishes served without waiting.

“I’ve also bought two movie tickets. After dinner, we can watch a movie. It’s rare that I have so much leisure time.”

Ever since Josh became Zachary’s administrative executive, he had been really busy.

He barely had nights with no social functions to attend.

Josh was busiest during the period when Zachary and Serenity’s relationship improved. It was because Zachary always assigned the company’s matters to Josh while he spent time with his wife.

When Jasmine was about to speak, Josh suddenly swung around and ran out.

Jasmine was dazed for a moment before she asked Mrs. Lane, “I haven’t said anything, have I? Why did he run out all of a sudden?”

Mrs. Lane said, “Just now, I

    Jasmine ordered food delivery for Mrs. Lane and passed the store key to her. She said, “Mrs. Lane, you can close the store and go home whenever you want after you have dinner. You can keep the key or pass it to your missus.”“Missus said that she won’t be available for the next few days. So I’ll come over to help out on her behalf. Let me keep the key.”Mrs. Lane added with a smile, “Ms. Sox and Mr. Bucham, both of you can go ahead and eat together. I can watch the store.”Mrs. Lane had helped in the store for quite a long period. She could remember the book prices. Even if she was alone, it would not affect the operation of the store.Jasmine felt at ease when she left with Josh. They headed to Wiltspoon Hotel for dinner.“How has Zachary been lately?” Jasmine asked concernedly.While driving, Josh said, “He’s busier than ever. He’s been working around the clock like Superman. I could hardly keep up with him. Those working under him have been grumbling, and many of them expect m

    At that time, Josh did not take Jasmine seriously at all.It was only until Jasmine’s aunt stopped setting up blind dates for her that Josh started to pay attention to her after the incident at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party. He found Jasmine interesting.After going on a blind date with Jasmine, Josh felt that she was his cup of tea. Similar to him, Jasmine enjoyed joining in on the fun and gossiping. Coincidentally, he knew a lot of juicy gossip. He could share it with someone who was eager to listen to gossip. Little by little, the thought of marrying Jasmine occurred to him.“After all, I’m already in my 30s. I have common love knowledge. Furthermore, onlookers see most of the game. I can see things clearer than Zachary and have become his love consultant. Unfortunately, his relationship with Serenity is still a mess despite the help of an excellent love consultant.”Jasmine let out a sigh. “Seren isn’t cold-hearted. It was because Zachary concealed his identity and lied to her.

    “Josh!”After Mrs. Bucham called her son, she saw that he was pulling a young girl to hurry inside to shy away from her.Mrs. Bucham could not help but scurry forward. She caught up with them shortly and stopped in front of Josh.“Josh, you brat. Didn’t you hear me calling you?”Mrs. Bucham gave him the piece of her mind first. When she turned her gaze to Jasmine, she wore a smile and said to Jasmine, “Young lady, don’t be intimidated. I had to tell Josh off. How dare he turn a deaf ear to his mother’s words and run away when his mother was calling him!”“Mom.”Never in his wildest dreams did he think that he would bump into his mother here.Mrs. Bucham checked Jasmine out from head to toe and saw her holding a bouquet of flowers. Even though Josh had let go of Jasmine’s hand, Mrs. Bucham clearly saw her son holding Jasmine’s hand just now.Giving flowers and holding hands were daily acts of a couple. When did that brat get into a relationship? He did not even let his family

    Jasmine smiled and replied, “I’m afraid I’ll disturb you.”“No worries. I enjoy having you around, in fact.”Mrs. Bucham brought Jasmine upstairs as if she knew in which room Josh was going to have a meal. Once they entered the room, it happened to be the private room that Josh had reserved.After being seated, Mrs. Bucham took off her fine charm bracelet. Then, she lifted Jasmine’s hand with the bracelet that Josh gave to Jasmine, and she removed that bracelet. After that, Mrs. Bucham put her bracelet on Jasmine’s wrist and said, “Jasmine, this is our first time meeting. I didn’t prepare anything, so I’ll give you my bracelet as a gift. That bracelet was given by Josh, right? The fineness of this charm bracelet is better.”Jasmine was born into a wealthy family and had a wealthy aunt. Therefore, she had come across all kinds of jewelry and could determine the value of the jewelry.The bracelet Josh gave her was quite costly. It was estimated to be worth a hundred thousand doll

    Jasmine thought about how her parents liked Josh. If their parents were to meet, they would likely start discussing their nuptials immediately. And so, she said tactfully, “Mrs. Bucham, my parents are currently traveling and may only be back in a few months.”Mrs. Bucham said regretfully, “Oh, they’re out traveling? Then we’ll wait for them to come back and have a meal together. Jasmine, have your parents met Josh yet?”“They have.”“What did they think of him?”Jasmine looked at Josh and said, “I didn’t ask my parents that because when Josh came to my house, ninety percent of the reason was to look for my brother and treat him to a meal, so my parents think he likes my brother.”Mrs. Bucham was at a loss for words.Josh’s handsome face appeared slightly embarrassed but he did not try to explain himself.He knew Jasmine still did not want their parents to meet yet. He was not in a hurry anyway—it was enough for him to be able to bring home this beautiful woman this year.“Jasmi

    When Zachary received the call from the bodyguards, he was at Wiltspoon Hotel, having a meeting with a client.After hearing from the bodyguards that Serenity had entered the drugstore to buy pregnancy tests, his hand holding the phone clenched, although he was still relatively calm. He said in his deep voice, “Got it.”After hanging up, Zachary immediately placed a call to Callum.“Hey.”“Callum, where are you now?”“I’m still in the office, doing some overtime.”Lately, his cousin had been working nonstop and everyone under him was tired to their bones.Even Callum, as the COO, was also having a hard time. After dinner, he still had to work overtime.“Come to the hotel now to discuss our collaboration with Mr. Fletcher. We’ve had a few meetings about this, so you should know about it.”“Alright.”Callum did not even dare ask where Zachary was going at the last minute. His cousin told him to go to the hotel and off he went.The York Corporation office was not far from Wilts

    “You shouldn’t feel too much pressure about it either. Sometimes, you’ll get affected when there’s too much stress too. Anyway, let nature take its course. If you still don’t manage to get pregnant in two or three years, then you should go and get checked to find out the reason for it.”Some couples did not get pregnant even after a few years but even after getting examined, no problems turned up. Then after getting divorced and both married other people, they were able to become parents.“Maybe it just happened to be during the safe period every time.”Serenity could only guess.Liberty wanted to say that it was not necessarily safe during the safe period.She still felt that it just was not time for them to have kids yet, so it was hard for Serenity to get pregnant.There definitely was no problem with Zachary’s health. Her sister looked healthy too. And because she raised her sister, she was very familiar with her sister’s state of health. If there was something even a little

    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.
