Chapter 964
Married at First Sight
Callum remembered that Kevin was six feet two and understood Grandma Mayâs arrangements.
Callum was only five foot seven. If he were to get together with Hayden, she would be taller than him.
Out of the nine brothers, Kevin was the tallest.
âEven if a woman dresses up as a man, thereâll be signs. A womanâs Adamâs apple is less obvious.â
Serenity stared at Haydenâs picture. Her interest was genuinely piqued. âWhy did she pretend to be a man for more than twenty years?â
âSeren, there are clothes to hide the Adamâs apple.â
Serenity was speechless. She did not think of that.
âWho is Casey Stoll?â she asked curiously.
Zachary took the initiative to explain, âSheâs the president of Stoll Corporation in Annenburg. Sheâs a little pitiful. She lost all her family members except for her little sister, so she had no choice but to take over the family business. Her life has been quite hard. She often dresses in unisex clothing, but sheâs very powerful and influential, so people mistake her for being a man.
âHer sister and she have both married, and she looks more like a woman now. Oh,her husband is the older brother of Benâs wife. Ben is the head of the richest family in Annenburg, the Johnsons. Heâs Remyâs older brother. Youâve met Remy before.
âIâll tell you the story about their family in detail another time. Itâs rather complicated. FC & Co. belongs to the Johnson family, and York Corporation works closely with them. Iâll bring you to Anneburg to meet them one day when Iâm free.â
Although the two companies were in different cities, they worked closely together. Zachary had also asked Ben for advice regarding his relationship with Serenity. Although the results were not as good as he had imagined, they at least helped him muster up the courage to confess.
After bearing through the storm for a period of time, he seemed to finally see the rainbow after the rain.
Zachary was grateful to Ben. He thought about it and decided to take Serenity to Annenburg to be a guest at FC Manor one day. That way, Serenity could become friends with Jane, the missus of the Johnson family. It would raise Serenityâs standing if she had a friend of Janeâs status.
After looking at Haydenâs photo and learning that she was the candidate Grandma May had picked for Kevin, she handed the photo back to Callum and said with a smile, âI believe in Nana. If she thinks that Ms. Queen is suitable for Kevin, then Iâm sure she is.â
Zachary echoed, âAlthough Nana is like an old child, sheâs a good judge of people. Sheâs our nanaâ
weâre the last people she would try to harm.â
Callum pouted. The couple seemed to have reconciled, so Zachary was starting to praise Grandma May again.
Zachary did not think that highly of their nana when he was forced to get married.
âIs this one the one Nana picked out for you?â
Serenity looked at Camrynâs picture, then at Callum, and smiled. âIt looks like a good match. Nana is still partial to you. She picked someone whoâs local to Wiltspoon so itâs easier for you to pursue her.
Meanwhile, Kevinâs candidate lives all the way in Jensburg.â
Jensburg and Wiltspoon were in different provinces.
Although with the established and ease of connectivity, it would still take a few hours to get from Wiltspoon to Jensburg, whether it was by plane or highâspeed rail.
It was far away in Serenityâs eyes.
She asked her man, âDoes York Corporation have a branch in Jensburg?â
âYes, but itâs not that big. We hired a manager to handle the branch there.
âOur familyâs main industry in Jensburg is the hotels. There are six fiveâstar hotels in Jensburg, two of which are owned by our family.â
Serenity was struck by a realization. âNo wonder Nana chose someone from Jensburg for Kevin.â
It was because Kevin was responsible for all the hotels under York Corporation.
