Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 1949

Caroline quickly said, “Mr. Hayden, your bodyguards didn’t hurt me. I’m fine.”

She stole a glance at Hayden. Then, she swiftly looked down with a shy expression. She said softly, “Mr. Hayden, I’m really sorry. I was the one walking so carelessly that I hit your bodyguard.”

“I should be the one saying sorry. The party is crowded, and what’s more, I brought along so many bodyguards. Because of that, you accidentally hit my bodyguard. Luckily, you’re fine.”

Hayden’s treatment of young ladies who admired her was cold and distant. She would not treat anyone gently.

However, Hayden softened her tone in spite of herself when speaking to Caroline. Hayden’s beautiful face was less cold as well.

When others saw the scene, they felt that the young lady of the Fishers was using the most old-fashioned method in the book, namely hitting Hayden’s people, to attract Hayden’s attention.

“That countrywoman is eyeing Hayden, huh?”

“She’s now the young lady of the Fishers, and she’ll be the head of the family in the future. It’s natural for her to eye Hayden. Hayden is so excellent that even Mr. Kevin is obsessed with him. It’s not surprising that Caroline is eyeing him.”

“Exactly. If I had a daughter, I’d hope for Hayden to be my son-in-law too.”

“Madam Fisher brought Celine along.”

Someone spotted Madam Fisher approaching with her adopted child, Celine. She softly reminded others to stop discussing Caroline in case Madam Fisher overheard it.

Caroline had a great hearing. She heard what people around her had whispered.

After Caroline was accepted into the best university, her adoptive parents wanted to marry her off and forbade her from pursuing her studies. If her adoptive parents had not allowed her to continue her education with her excellent results, it would draw fierce criticism. Therefore, her adoptive parents had no choice but to let her study. Since then, her parents had never given her any money.

That did not matter. While studying, Caroline was making money at university. She helped her friends fetch water, collect parcels and takeouts, and run other errands. She made money by being an errand-runner. Even though she was tired, she could make quite a lot of money. Given that she was academically talented, making money this way did not affect her results.

During the holidays, Caroline would return to her hometown and harvest homegrown fruits and vegetables to sell in the city, which enabled her to make money. She would also make a fortune by being a home tutor for primary and middle school students.

When there was a will, there was a way to overcome difficulties.

When Caroline graduated from university, she had never asked for a single penny from her adoptive family. Instead, she saved some money and did not let her family know that she used her savings to invest in other businesses. She was fortunate enough to make a killing every time.

Later on, she even set up a company, which had been running for several years. Now, the company had two subsidiaries worth tens of millions of dollars.
