Chapter 1690

Author: Gu Lingfei
Jessica simply wanted Hank to fully side with her.

Her current situation was self-inflicted. She did not deserve sympathy.

“Mom, why didn’t Dunc come today?” Sonny asked.

He recalled visiting Dunc in the hospital with his mother yesterday. He asked, “Mom, hasn’t Dunc recovered?”

Duncan said he would recover soon.

Sonny thought that Duncan would be able to recover by today.

Liberty said gently, “Dunc will need some time to recover. Do you miss him?”

Sonny nodded.

He was used to Duncan’s presence.

He would not be accustomed to suddenly not seeing someone he had been seeing every day.

“Mom, can you bring me to the hospital to visit Dunc?”

Liberty recalled that Duncan did not want to meet her. However, he did not mention not wanting to meet Sonny. Anyway, she was concerned about Duncan’s injury. Although Duncan drove her out of the ward early morning yesterday, she felt that it had been a while since she last visited him.

She hoped that Duncan could recover soon.

    After some thought, Camryn said, “Let me call my assistant and ask her when she’ll be back. I can only leave if someone can watch the shop.”Given that she wanted to socialize with the Lewises, it would be better for her to visit them in person to show her sincerity.She used her old-fashioned phone to call her shop assistant. The call connected shortly.“Ms. Camryn, I’m at the door,” the shop assistant said with a smile. Subsequently, she hung up and parked her e-bike before entering the shop.At the sight of Liberty and Sonny, the shop assistant greeted them with a grin and carried Sonny.Sonny felt that he was likable indeed.Camryn reminded the shop assistant about some things. After that, she followed Liberty and Sonny to visit Duncan in the hospital while bringing along the tonics.Upon their arrival at the hospital, Duncan still refused to meet Liberty.Camryn was dumbfounded when she heard that.Not only did he refuse to meet Liberty, but he also refused to meet Sonn

    Lilian pinched her husband’s face while laughing.Lilian and Tim did not hold a wedding for the time being as she was pregnant. They registered their marriage first.Jane and Iris had given birth. Soon, Lilian’s baby would come into this world. Jane was pregnant with twins, which explained why her babies were born earlier than expected. Otherwise, Lilian’s baby would be almost the same age as Jane’s children.Jane had delivered her babies, whereas Lilian was still pregnant with a belly as big as a watermelon.Lilian’s baby was mischievous, showing strong movements.Sometimes, the baby could be seen arching Lilian’s stomach using his small legs or hands. At this point, Tim enjoyed playing with the fetus the most. Every night, when the fetal movement was strongest, he would be playing with the baby with Lilian’s stomach between them.Lilian had long since known that she was pregnant with a baby boy.Perhaps it was because she was a doctor. A brilliant doctor.Tim pulled a long

    Tim scowled quietly.Lilian walked to a gazebo and sat under it.Naturally, Tim followed her.“Let’s get the butler to prepare some coffee and pastry to serve Mr. Callum when he comes later.”Tim took out his phone and ordered the butler to send some coffee, pastry, and fruit over.He also asked the butler to prepare Lilian’s favorite snacks.Ever since Lilian got pregnant, she had not been able to stop herself from eating whenever she was awake. She felt the need to eat snacks.She still had three meals a day. Even so, she did not gain much weight. Her nutrients were all absorbed by the baby in the womb.About ten minutes later, Callum walked to the gazebo with the butler.“Mr. Tim, Dr. Carden.”Callum greeted them with a smile.Tim looked sullen without saying a word. Once Lilian darted a glance at him, his expression became gentle. He politely greeted Callum, “Please take a seat, Mr. Callum.”Callum could tell that Tim disliked the sight of him.Given that Callum came o

    Nevertheless, Lilian had a giant belly. Even when Lilian went out for a check-up, Tim had to bring along a few bodyguards to follow her closely and look after her.Callum quickly said, “Mr. Tim, I got it. Even if Dr. Carden promises to treat my fiancée’s eyes now, I won’t dare ask her to leave the house.”He fixed his eyes on Lilian and begged, “Dr. Carden, can you get the genius doctor to treat my fiancée? I can afford the cost no matter how expensive it is. I can also accept any requirements for it.”Lilian was an excellent doctor, and the genius doctor was even more outstanding. After all, he was Lilian’s mentor. Furthermore, the genius doctor had been well-known for over a decade. Being called a genius doctor, he was indeed an impressive figure.If the genius doctor was willing to treat Camryn’s eyes, there would be a strong likelihood that Camryn’s vision would be restored.The genius doctor and Lilian were Camryn’s last hope.Callum had promised Camryn that he would beg the

    Upon receiving Lilian’s promise, Callum was relieved.He felt the need to leave FC Manor since Mr. Tim disliked the sight of him at that point.Callum learned about Tim and Lilian’s story from Zachary.Initially, Lilian merely wanted a child and not a man.She knew that Tim was looking for her, yet she did not tell him that she was the one.She even ran away.She did not even attend Jane and Ben’s wedding.By the time Tim found out that Lilian was the person he was looking for, he put aside his work and flew to where she was. After staying by Lilian’s side for half a year, he had feelings for her. It was only then that Lilian was willing to return to Annenburg with him.The public had no idea what Tim had done and how much he had sacrificed in those six months.However, one could imagine that Tim went through a hard time before winning Lilian’s heart and marrying her. Although they had not held their wedding, they were considered married couples. Tim enjoyed spending time with

    Seeing the York brothers walking over, the Lewis family’s bodyguards’ heads hurt.“Mr. York.”The bodyguards bit the bullet and stepped forward to stop Zachary and the others from advancing. One of them said apologetically, “Mr. York, Mr. Duncan doesn’t want to meet you all. Please leave.”They did not want to be put in a difficult spot. Zachary said with a deep voice, “Is Duncan awake?”“He is, but he doesn’t have an appetite and refuses breakfast. Whether the food was delivered from home or Ms. Liberty, he wouldn’t eat it. He even knocked over the breakfast Ms. Liberty brought.“Mr. and Mrs. Lewis are inside trying to persuade Mr. Duncan to eat something. He’s in a terrible mood now.”The bodyguards said all that in hopes that Zachary and the rest would leave and not put them in a difficult spot. Actually, they wished Mr. Duncan would meet his friends and stop lying on the bed and driving himself into a dead end. Unfortunately, Mr. Duncan would not listen to Mr. and Mrs.

    Mr. Lewis felt upset listening to his son yelling. Criticisms could no longer leave his mouth.Duncan was tall and massive. He looked like a rough man. After having lain in the hospital for over ten days, he had gotten thinner. People who were concerned about him would feel sad upon seeing his state. He could not stand and lacked the spirit and vigor he used to have. Even his gaze had lost its usual sparkle, replaced with despair. The doctor said that Duncan’s full recovery depended on whether he could reignite his confidence and persist in treating his legs and undergoing physiotherapy. It would be a long journey. There was a possibility that he would not make any progress even after time passed, and that could easily break someone’s spirits. “Darling, stop scolding Duncan.”Mrs. Lewis persuaded her husband, “It’s my fault. I insisted on feeding him even though he said he wasn’t hungry.”She wanted to take all the blame. Duncan watched his mother and averted his gaz

    Serenity supported Mrs. Lewis and brought her to sit on a chair nearby. “Duncan doesn’t want to meet anybody. If he doesn’t communicate, bottling his emotions and driving himself into a dead end, then how can he recover?” Mrs. Lewis wiped her tears. She apologized to the York brothers, “Zack, Callum, don’t blame Duncan. He refuses to see anyone now. He wouldn’t even meet his brothers when they came and stopped them from entering the ward.“His sisters-in-law would bring some nutritious stew over. While the stew could enter the ward, his sisters-in-law were not allowed. He thinks everyone he sees pities him. Even if it’s just a word of concern, he’ll think the same.”Mrs. Lewis’s tears were unstoppable. Her youngest son had always given her the impression that he was strong. She did not know what to do about his mental breakdown. The Lewis family’s elders had visited, but Duncan would not listen to anything. He even refused to meet his best friends, Zachary and Josh. He did no

    “Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and

    The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi

    In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com

    “I’m used to him being by my side. Now that he’s hidden, it just feels weird.”Caroline added, “Even if I want to kiss him, I can only do it in my dreams.”Liberty was speechless. Seeing Liberty being at a loss for words, Caroline smiled. “Did I renew your impression of me?”“Yes. I didn’t know you were this kind of person.”Caroline giggled. “Darren’s too serious and respectful. If I don’t take the lead, we might sleep on opposite ends of the bed after getting married. He probably won’t even dare to turn in bed.”Liberty thought of Darren’s face, which constantly had a stern expression. He only looked normal around Caroline. He indeed treated her respectfully and never dared to offend her. Liberty said, “You’re still his master. It’s only natural that he’s acting that way.“When you two become husband and wife, he’ll change. However, you won’t have to doubt his love and loyalty for you.”The next thing Liberty knew, Caroline asked her private questions regarding married lif

    Caroline moved first, exiting the elevator.Adrian blocked her path, refusing to give way.Caroline did not want to argue with her brothers, so she simply sidestepped and continued toward the CEO’s office. The Clark brothers watched her leave.“Let’s go, Adrian.” Justin entered the elevator first.Adrian withdrew his gaze and led Jason into the elevator.“I heard Darren’s out on a business trip and has been sent to another province to handle some matters, so he won’t be back for at least ten days to half a month,” Jason shared in a low voice. “And for the past few days, Caroline’s only been accompanied by those few bodyguards of hers. There really hasn’t been any sign of Darren with her. I’ve asked someone to look into it and verified Darren left Jensburg by flight a few days ago. What do you think, Adrian?”Adrian replied under his breath, “We’re at work. Don’t talk about that here. We’ll talk about it when we get home tonight.”Justin and Jason immediately shut their mouths.

    “I’m in charge now, not your mother. If you can’t do the work, then don’t cling to your positions and collect a salary for doing nothing.”Liberty had no intention of tolerating their laziness any longer.The three brothers had tried investing and running their own businesses, but they mostly ended up losing money. The only stable income they had was from renting out the properties and shops they owned.That was why Hunter had advised his sons to return to Ashford, buy more properties and shops, and live off the rental income. It was much more stable than their business ventures.If the properties were hard to rent out, they could always sell them and recover some money, but with their business investments, not only did they lose money, they often ended up in debt by the time the businesses failed.It was a mystery how much of Belinda’s personal wealth had been spent helping her sons pay off their debts while she was alive.However, there were times when they made money. They wou

    They had taken a few days of sick leave, but after receiving the news, they miraculously “recovered” and returned to work.However, their behavior did not improve. They continued strutting around the company, acting as if they owned the place, just as they had before.While others completed the tasks Liberty assigned on time, the three Clark brothers always dragged their feet. They only ever barely managed to finish them after repeated urging, and the results were still always far from satisfactory.“Look at the plans and reports you submitted. They’re a complete mess! What kind of work is this? You all sit in the positions of vice president, earning high salaries, and this is how you perform?“Do you think your work justifies your pay?”In the CEO’s office, Liberty sat behind her crescent-shaped desk. The three Clark brothers stood in front of her, having been summoned.Liberty slammed their work results onto the desk in front of them and her face was filled with anger as she be

    Darren stopped walking.Caroline stopped as well.“What’s wrong?” Caroline looked at him. “You don’t want to follow my plan?”“I’ll do whatever you ask of me. It’s just, could we delay it for a couple of days? I’m worried…”“Darren.” Caroline’s expression turned serious. “Trust me! And trust yourself. I have the ability to protect myself, and you have the ability to protect me too. I might get hurt, but I won’t be in any life-threatening danger.”She glanced at Liberty and Duncan walking ahead, both had not noticed that the two behind had stopped. The distance between them had widened.Taking advantage of Liberty and Duncan’s oblivion, Caroline quickly cupped Darren’s face, tiptoed, and kissed his warm lips.Darren immediately tightened his arms around her, turning his passiveness into action, and deepening the kiss. The two were clearly in love, but Darren never took the initiative in intimate gestures. It was always Caroline who made the first move.In Darren’s eyes, Caroline

    Among the younger generation of the Fisher family, very few could work at the headquarters of Fisher Enterprise. Most of them worked in subsidiaries, no different from ordinary workers.They worked themselves to the bone for a monthly salary of four to five thousand dollars as being part of the Fisher family did not guarantee them high-paying jobs. Those without ability and who were lazy could not even get into the subsidiaries.When Belinda was alive, she had made it clear that the Fisher family’s companies would not support idle people. Those who wanted to slack off and collect a paycheck for doing nothing were dreaming!The biggest benefit of being part of the family was that during holidays, they could receive gifts and a generous bonus from Fisher Enterprise.These holiday gifts and bonuses were distributed uniformly, regardless of age or seniority. Everyone received the same amount—a newborn baby received the same as an eighty-year-old elder.After some thought, Liberty said
