Kiera was deeply affected.

She remarked, “I should think this through. It’s someone else’s home, and if we act like this, we may disturb others.”

Her primary concern was that she needed to manage twelve students wherever she went.

She couldn’t leave them to behave freely and without restraint.

“It’s fine, really. If you’re worried about disturbing others, I’ll message Young Master York right now to clarify his intentions.”

Julian was eager to spend more time with Kiera.

He quickly sent a message to Zachary.

Initially, he texted Zachary to inform him that he was pursuing his wife and requested his assistance. In his response, Zachary addressed him not as Young Master Bucham but as Mr. Bucham or simply by his name.

Kiera might not be aware of the Bucham family.

However, Julian preferred that she remain oblivious.

He feared that revealing his family’s status might intimidate her.

He was also concerned that if she learned about his position as the young master of the Bucham family, she might think he had been investigating her.

This would significantly tarnish her impression of him.

Kiera was the only woman capable of stirring his heart and allowing him to be a normal man.

Naturally, Julian was determined to prevent any mishaps before their marriage.

Zachary and his wife had lunch at the Stone family’s residence.

After the meal, he didn’t rush to leave.

Upon receiving Julian’s message, Zachary turned to his beloved wife and said, “Seren, I’ve finally waited for Julian to ask me for help.”

Serenity couldn’t help but laugh at his words, replying, “You’ve been waiting for Young Master Bucham to reach out to you?”

“No, Young Master Bucham is a remarkable individual. Whether in the past, present, or future, I will need to seek his assistance on many matters. I owe him.”

too generous, even though he will charge me each time.

For Josh’s sake, Julian charges me a nominal fee for his help. It’s a friendly rate, but I owe him quite a bit, and I always want to repay it.

It’s unfortunate that Julian is so influential. He has always been the one to assist others, while no one seems to support him. It’s rare for him to ask me for help.”

Zachary said this as he showed his phone to his beloved wife.

Serenity read Julian’s message and smiled: “He’s mimicking you, pretending to be poor at first to hide his identity, winning over Ms. Caron, and then revealing who he really is. He must not fear that Ms. Caron will be upset upon discovering his deception.”

“…Honey, it’s been ages since we discussed our past. Let’s not revisit old scores.”

Zachary scoffed; he dreaded it when his wife brought up the past.

“Julian merely downplayed his connection to the Bucham family and his status as its heir, likely to avoid scaring Ms. Caron. The Bucham family often conducts investigations for others, and those who benefit from their assistance are thankful.

Those who have been scrutinized by them harbor deep resentment, but the Bucham family remains discreet yet powerful, maintaining close ties with several prominent families. So far, no one dares to retaliate, but it remains a latent threat.

Anyone familiar with the Bucham family, unless they share a similar background or their daughters are equally strong and fearless, will consider marrying into the family.”

Julian, being the heir of the Bucham family, represents a potentially significant risk for his future wife.

Zachary added: “Ms. Caron is aware that Julian is the head of his company, and the Bucham family owns several businesses that could be lucrative.”

Serenity scoffed, “That’s different from you cheating on your wife. You’re…”

You are pretending to be poor, but in reality, you are simply disguising yourself as an ordinary migrant worker while concealing your true identity as Young Master York, deceiving me in the process. Young Master Bucham deceived his wife to keep Ms. Caron unaware of the Bucham family’s true activities. He aimed to ensnare Ms. Caron into a trap first.

Zachary: “…”

Serenity: “Deceiving your wife may be entertaining for a time, but pursuing her to the crematorium suggests that Young Master Bucham hasn’t learned from your mistakes. However, it seems your cousins have taken those lessons to heart.”
