Camryn thought that Aunt Evelyn would take a rest instead of helping out since she just arrived. Nonetheless, Aunt Evelyn felt the need to keep herself occupied. She would not treat herself as a guest here, so Camryn let her help Dalton out. Aunt Evelyn asked about Dalton’s marriage in the kitchen. Once she learned that Dalton had gotten engaged, Aunt Evelyn was pleased and reminded him to invite her to his wedding.Dalton planned on inviting Aunt Evelyn to be the witness during their wedding ceremony.Camryn sat on the couch, listening to their conversation. Her mind had wandered over Callum.Callum had done so much for Camryn, yet he did not tell her.Was he planning to surprise her?Was it because if he let Camryn know that Dr. Carden could not make it now, he was worried that Camryn would think about it all the time and have high hopes? She would be extremely disappointed if the hope was gone.It could be both reasons.She recalled the time she met Callum until now.In th
Camryn was in a dilemma for days. When it was time for Aunt Evelyn to leave Wiltspoon, Camryn and Dalton sent her to the airport. After that, Camryn returned to the city center. “Cam, do you want to head home or to your shop?” Dalton asked after passing the freeway.After some thought, Camryn responded, “I’ll head to my shop first.”“Alright.”Dalton directly sent her back to her shop.When she returned to Spring Blossoms, a shop assistant was watching the shop, whereas the other assistant was out delivering a bouquet of flowers to a customer.“Cam, I need to get home now. Melissa keeps texting me to ask when I’m returning.”Camryn answered with a smile, “Hurry up and go home now. When you have no meetings to attend, you should spend more time with Melissa.”When there was a meeting with the top management, Dalton had to fly to Wiltspoon. He would sit beside Camryn and help her manage video meetings.“By the way, bring along a bouquet of flowers.”While speaking, Camyn was a
What was more, the sales of Camryn’s business had skyrocketed, so it was more profitable than before.Camryn left the shop with the bouquet of flowers.Previously, Callum requested that she send flowers to his office in person. Camryn had gone there several times, so she remembered the way. She could easily get to York Corporation without anyone’s help. On her way there, she did not call Callum to inform him.Upon her arrival, she waited at the entrance of the building instead of entering it.The timing coincided with two minutes shy of everyone getting off work. Some employees began to trickle out. Camryn was dressed in a white long dress. She was standing there while holding a striking bouquet of flowers. Coupled with her attractive looks, she resembled a fairy.Everyone in York Corporation was aware of her relationship with Callum. The employees walking out of the building would greet her, while those driving would press down the window buttons to do the same. Camryn woul
Knowing that Callum was not in the office, Camryn continued to wait at the entrance.Zachary said that Callum was on his way back.Camryn slightly regretted it. If she had known earlier that Callum was not in the office, she would call him in advance. However, she would not be able to surprise him in that case. Fortunately, Callum rushed over from Wiltspoon Hotel without keeping Camryn waiting for too long.On his way here, he was guessing why Camryn suddenly came to meet him.Zachary only told Callum that Camryn had come, but Zachary did not tell Callum why she came. Since Camryn left in Dalton’s car the other day, Callum had not met Camryn for several days. They did communicate with each other on the phone. Nevertheless, every time he called her, he was the one speaking, whereas she just acted as a listener.Callum was aware that Aunt Evelyn came to visit. He said that he wanted to visit Aunt Evelyn, but Camryn forbade him from doing so. Camryn said that she would like to sp
“Aunt Evelyn’s in-laws’ business will get better.”Callum had found out about the business belonging to Aunt Evelyn’s in-laws and asked someone to help them out. He believed that their business as well as living conditions would soon improve. “Hopefully.”Camryn knew that Aunt Evelyn’s family nearly went bankrupt, but luckily, her cousins were reliable. As a result of all their hard work, there was an improvement in their business, which helped relieve their financial stress.Of course, Camryn hoped that their business would bounce back or even reach greater heights.Aunt Evelyn’s family was nice. Good people should be rewarded.Sometimes, Uncle Irving would be unhappy that Aunt Evelyn put aside her family matters and ran around to ask about Camryn’s eye treatment. Even so, he would secretly provide a lot of financial assistance and ask around to look for better eye specialists.Uncle Irving was not related to Camryn, yet he could tolerate Aunt Evelyn running around for the sak
Callum did not even stop to think and replied, “It’s true. It’s absolutely true. It’s as true as a diamond can be!”He had been treating Camryn as his wife from the start.The Yorks’ men had always doted on their wives. There were no exceptions, with Callum’s parents and brothers as evidence. They were all infatuated with their wives. Sometimes, their parents would be lovey-dovey and show off their love in front of them. In their father’s eyes, their mother was of utmost importance, while Callum and his brothers were simply complimentary gifts. If they angered their father, they would only be scolded at most. If they were to make their mother angry, their father would snatch up a hanger immediately and chase after them. He would not even ask them for a reason. Dad said that even he could not bear to make Mom angry ever since she married into the York family. Who else would he beat up for having the guts to anger Mom if not them? Women who married into the York family were
Camryn did as told. Once she got out of the car, the bouquet she held was taken away by Callum and placed on the car seat. The next moment, her feet were off the ground. He lifted her by her waist and spun in circles. As he turned, he shouted, “I finally have a girlfriend and fiancée. I love you, Camryn!”Some employees of York Corporation had just exited the company. When they saw Callum, they instinctively stopped to watch the scene. Everyone laughed when they heard his elated cheer, and someone even started clapping. Camryn could listen to the clapping sounds growing louder. Were there many people watching them?Camryn felt embarrassed, but more so happy. Luckily, Callum did not reject her. He was simply too happy and could not believe she had accepted him and his feelings. That was why he did many questionable actions that puzzled her. At that moment, Camryn knew that Callum’s feelings for her had never changed. He never felt disgusted about her being a blind pers
Camryn’s face flushed after hearing those words. It turned out York Corporation’s employees had already regarded her as the wife of their COO. Callum helped Camryn into the car happily and fastened her seatbelt for her. She held onto the bouquet she had brought again. When he got into the car, he asked for her opinion, “Camryn, I want to bring you back to Wildridge Manor. Are you okay with it?”His parents had secretly come to look at her several times, but they dared not disturb her as she had not accepted his feelings previously. She did not know she had already become the apple of her future in-laws’ eyes and managed to shove him into a corner. Callum’s mother said that she wanted a dainty daughter-in-law like Camryn as she did not have a daughter. She also mentioned she adored Camryn the moment she met her and that Camryn could arouse protective instincts in people around her. If Callum brought Camryn back to Wildridge Manor, it would have a different meaning. It would
Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.
Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,
It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett
Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in
“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
“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
