Hayden gave it some thought and said, “I think Caroline’s not bad.”The Fishers and Queens were compatible in terms of social status. Caroline was the Fisher family’s real daughter too. Although she had been switched at birth by a butler with evil intentions, which caused her to have grown up in the butler’s hometown, she still had the Fishers’ blood in her. Although the Fisher family was not big, they were a reputable and extravagant family. Even if Caroline had grown up in a harsh environment, it could not conceal her natural elegance. A year ago, she was found by her biological parents. The real and fake daughters’ identities were swapped back. However, the fake daughter had been raised in the Fisher family since she was young. She was well-loved by her parents and brothers. Although her biological father was fired and chased out of the Fishers’ house because of the exposed truth, the fake daughter stayed with the Fishers. The Fishers took her in as their goddaughter. Upo
If Caroline were to take over the Fisher family, her husband would have to marry into the family. Hugh did not want to be a live-in son-in-law. Hayden was speechless. She had neglected that point. The husbands of the Fisher household’s leaders had always married into the family instead of the bride joining the groom’s family. …Meanwhile, at the Danielses’ residence, Alvin was sitting on the sofa in the luxurious living room, reading a newspaper with his legs crossed. At that moment, a man clothed in black walked over. He went to Alvin’s side and whispered, “Mr. Alvin, we’ve found out Ms. Jenna’s true reason for secretly going to Wiltspoon.”Alvin continued reading the newspaper. He said indifferently, “What’s the reason?”The man lowered his voice further. He said softly, “Ms. Jenna fell in love with Mr. Zachary York at first sight. She’s trying to break the couple up and replace his wife. On the night you went to Wiltspoon to bring her back, she had gone to Mr. York’s
Alvin’s gaze darkened. After some thought, he whispered, “Find someone who looks similar to Zachary in the country. If you find him, give him some training and arrange for him to meet Jenna. Jenna’s clever, so she’ll know what to do.“If you can’t find someone with similar looks, get someone with a similar build. That’s useful too.”Since Zachary was impenetrable, they would have to start with Serenity. Based on Serenity’s personality, if she were to misunderstand Zachary and thought he cheated on her with a mistress, she would definitely suggest a divorce. Zachary loved his wife as if she was his life. He would refuse to get a divorce. He would not be wronged and investigate the matter thoroughly. By that time, Jenna would get into trouble.If Jenna were unlucky, Uncle Edwin would probably be so angry that he would chase her out of Daniels Group. If so, Daniels Group would belong to him, Alvin. “Okay.”“Do it now. However, you must be cautious and remember not to leave tra
Since Duncan decided not to give up on Liberty, Zachary was more than happy to give his best bud a boost and create an opportunity for them to spend time together. After thinking, Liberty said, “I might not be available so soon. If you’re willing to wait here for a moment, Mr. Lewis, I can give you a ride home later.”Duncan immediately said, “It’s okay. I can wait. You can give me a ride after you’re done with your matters. I have nothing to do if I go home anyway. If I stay here, I can even help you to keep an eye on the renovation process.”He could provide Liberty with many ideas too. “Zachary, you can go and handle whatever you have to. Don’t delay it because of me.”Duncan urged Zachary to leave quickly and hand him over to Liberty. No matter how busy Liberty was, she would have to take time out to give him a ride. That way, he would be able to spend more time with her. Although he was in a wheelchair, he could still woo his wife. He would do his best to recuperate and
‘Why is there a sound of a baby crying next to Serenity?’ Zachary wondered. “Babe, you should go and get busy. I’ll be hanging up now. Just wait for me to go home.” When Serenity heard her godson crying, she did not want her husband anymore and immediately hung up the phone. Serenity was in FC Manor at the moment. She had acknowledged Jane’s children as her godchildren. In her words, she wanted to be blessed with Jane’s good fortune so she could also be pregnant with a pigeon pair in the future, bearing two precious ones at the same time and having a son and a daughter. Serenity was afraid that Zachary could guess that she was in FC Manor, so she hurriedly ended the call. Zachary guessed it indeed. He sourly muttered to himself, “She went to FC Manor to see the kids. How could she not ask me along? I miss my godchildren very much too.” Zachary particularly liked his goddaughter. That little one was very well-behaved and rarely cried. On the contrary, her brother cried
“Sonny, isn’t this little girl adorable?” Grandma May asked Sonny as she stared at Chloe. “Yes, very cute. Great-grandma, when will I have a little sister too?” Sonny also wanted to touch the little girl, but Grandma May was worried that he could not control his force as he was young. She gently patted away his hand and said, “Don’t simply touch her. You’ll hurt the baby if you can’t control your force well. The baby’s skin is very tender.” “...Great-grandma, I haven’t even touched her. How do you know I’ll hurt her? You just don’t want me to touch her,” Sonny responded. Grandma May was touching the little girl here and there as though she was touching a rare treasure, but she would not let Sonny touch her. “Yes, yes, yes, I don’t want you to touch the little girl. I like her too much. How good would it be if she were my great-granddaughter?” Grandma May proceeded to touch Chloe’s small feet again. “Great-grandma, her feet are so small.” Grandma May replied to him witho
It had not been a year since Zachary and Serenity got their marriage license. It was almost September and they received their license in October. Moreover, they had only really been a married couple for half a year. Those people who said that Serenity was infertile were just jealous of her and deliberately wanted to rile her up and hurt her. Grandma May agreed with Jane. “That’s right. If you hear anyone say that about you again, Seren, slap them hard in the face. You don’t need to be afraid of offending anyone. As long as you’re not doing something illegal, no matter who it is, I can help you set things right. “Even if I can’t, you still have Zack. He can hold up the sky for you even if it falls.” Serenity said, “I didn’t hear those remarks myself; people I know just told me that Tom, Dick, and Harry said bad things about me behind my back again. If I heard it myself, I would’ve certainly slapped them hard in the face. “I don’t need them to worry about my affairs.” “Exactly.
“Grandma May, Seren, let’s go downstairs for lunch.” Jane invited the two and waved at Sonny. She said with a gentle smile, “Sonny, come, I’ll carry you.” Sonny looked at the two babies and then at the beautiful Aunt Jane. At last, he reluctantly walked toward Jane and said, “Aunt Jane, I’m grown up, so I don’t need to be carried.” Jane took his small hand. “Then I’ll hold you as we walk.” She said to Serenity, “Sonny is also a very well-behaved child. He’s much better than Connor. That boy cries every day and can compare to Lilian’s kid.” Dr. Lilian Carden’s son was born not too long ago. She was in confinement at the moment. When Callum knew Lilian had given birth, he quickly got someone to send her supplements. After all, she was his fiancée’s last hope to cure her eyes. Tim’s face was dark when he received the supplements sent by Callum. He put them in a corner. In any case, his wife did not lack supplements. They could not even finish the supplements at home, so why
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
“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
