Madam Fisher and Celine returned to the hotel. Afterward, Celine was furious again because as soon as she got back, she saw Caroline dancing with Hayden. Not only Celine, but the women who adored Hayden also wanted to cut Caroline to pieces with their gaze. Following that, all of them looked at Kevin. Nevertheless, Kevin was standing with a glass of wine. He drank wine while watching Hayden and Caroline dance. Not only did he not look jealous, but there was also a faint smile on his face. Everyone was disappointed with this strongest love rival of theirs. Why did Kevin not go forward to snatch Mr. Hayden from Caroline? The other women also wanted to dance with Mr. Hayden. Caroline felt that the other ladies wished they could kill her with their death stares. She whispered to Hayden, “Mr. Hayden, you asked me for a dance, and now I’ve become their common enemy.” Hayden chuckled. “Ms. Caroline, are you scared?” Caroline’s beautiful eyes flickered. She looked at Hayden
Caroline and Serenity looked alike at first glance, but not so much when looked closely. On the other hand, Caroline and Liberty looked more and more alike. If Kevin did not know that Serenity only had one sister, he would have thought that Caroline was her other sister. As for Serenity and Liberty, they were not much alike. Liberty looked most like their mom, whereas Serenity had a mix of their parents’ good features. She bore little resemblance to her mom and much of her dad.Kevin could not help but imagine things. Was his sister-in-law’s family background not clear enough? Two unrelated people could look alike, but Caroline looked like both Serenity and Liberty, so it was suspicious. Could they be relatives? Kevin guessed, but he also thought about how Elisa did not look like Serenity and Liberty despite being cousins. If they resembled each other, Elisa would have been suspicious when she first saw Serenity. Hayden and Caroline danced on and the one facing Kevin now
Kevin unleashed his clinginess and chased after Hayden. Everyone looked at the two of them, but no one dared to interfere in their affair. Hayden’s admirers hated Kevin very much. They watched the whole night as the shameless man pestered Hayden. Hayden went straight to the host to apologize. She said, “Mr. Williams, I’m sorry, but I have something to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself first.” Mr. Williams knew Hayden was annoyed by Kevin’s pestering, which had become everyone’s topic. She was patient to have held out for so long and was only leaving now. He said understandingly, “Mr. Hayden, your business is more important. Go on ahead.” In the end, he added, “I can understand you, Mr. Hayden.” Hayden nodded gratefully and walked out of her family’s hotel with her bodyguards. Hugh was reluctant to leave. He scurried to Hayden’s side and asked as he followed, “Bro, you’re going back now? The party isn’t over yet.” “If you don’t want to go back, you can wait until it is
Kevin did not chase after Hayden. He stood at the hotel entrance and waved at her with a smile, saying, “Mr. Hayden, see you tomorrow.” Hayden cursed internally, ‘If possible, I’d like to never see you again.’ After Hayden left, Kevin stood in place for a moment and wanted to head back into the hotel. However, as he turned around, he saw Madam Fisher exiting the hotel with her two daughters as well as her son and daughter-in-law.Mr. Williams saw them off with a few people. “Madam Fisher.” Out of courtesy and the fact that Madam Fisher was an elder, Kevin greeted her politely. Madam Fisher responded with a smile, “Mr. Kevin, are you leaving too?” “Yes, I’m slightly drunk from drinking too much, so I’m getting ready to go back to the hotel to rest.” Kevin looked at Caroline. Madam Fisher duly and officially introduced her biological daughter to him. Kevin and Caroline politely shook hands. Madam Fisher did not introduce Celine, who was beside her, and Kevin also did
Zachary said with certainty, “Impossible! My mother-in-law also has a sister only, and her sister is Aunt Audrey. We all know how many children she has. Apart from Elisa, Serenity has no other cousin sisters.” “If we’re talking about the generation before her, which is Mrs. Stone’s generation, does she have other sisters?” Kevin asked. Zachary answered, “Aunt Audrey said that it was only her and her sister. Their parents and family passed away, and only the two of them are alive. They were sent to the orphanage because they had no relatives.” Kevin was speechless. “Kev, did you say it was a daughter of the Fishers?” Zachary finally caught the point. “Yes, Caroline Fisher. There’s a lot to talk about the Fishers, and it might take days to finish everything, so I won’t tell you much. In short, Caroline is Madam Fisher’s biological daughter but was switched at birth by their evil housekeeper. The housekeeper’s daughter became the Fishers’ daughter instead, and is now known as
In any case, Kevin would pursue Hayden. Tough women were afraid of clingy men. The more Kevin clung to Hayden, she would become his wife. From Zachary and Callum’s success stories, Kevin firmly believed that as long as he was sincere and thick-faced enough, he would be able to win the maiden’s heart. Zachary laughed. “She has been pretending to be a man for over twenty years and has never been discovered. Now that you’re suddenly pursuing her, it’s very normal for her to hate you since she’s not mentally prepared. It’s only because she’s mentally strong that she’s not scared by you.” “It was Serenity and Callum’s advice.” Zachary chuckled and asked, “Did it work?” “It worked quite well because the problem was solved. Zack, I can now confirm that Hayden is a woman.” “Nana would never trick us. Hayden must be a woman. How could Nana arrange a man for you?” Zachary, who had been tricked by his nana multiple times, had forgotten the times he was tricked by her. He put in
“What is it?” Serenity casually asked. “It’s something related to your birth.” Serenity asked with a smile, “What else is there to my birth? I was born to my parents, and my dad was also born to my grandpa. A paternity test was also done. My mom and my aunt are sisters by blood, and I also had a DNA test done with my aunt.” Her birth was simple, so what else could be involved? “I’ll tell you in detail when you’re back. In any case, it’s related to your birth.” Zachary deliberately kept his beloved wife in suspense. It would be best if she could not resist her curiosity and fly back tomorrow morning, no, tonight, to be with him. “Okay, tell me when I’m back then. I’d like to know what else there is to my birth.” Serenity was not curious at all. This was because she knew her birth very well and that she was definitely her parents’ daughter! “For all you know, it’s going to be something huge.” Serenity responded, “Make up all you want. As outrageous as you make it soun
Jasmine replied, “I didn’t take the pictures. Someone saw them on that woman’s Facebook. They took screenshots and sent them to Josh. Josh was shocked after seeing them. Initially, he didn’t want to let me find out about it.“However, I still found out and quickly sent the pictures to you to verify whether the man is Zachary. I think the man’s silhouette does look like him.”Serenity thought, ‘Does anyone from Jenna’s social circle know Zachary?’However, considering the Daniels family’s wealth and status, she did not find it surprising. She said, “From the figure and his back, he does look like my Zachary. Even their side profiles look alike. I can’t confirm whether that’s Zachary, but logically speaking, he won’t cheat on me.“I remember that woman vaguely. She looks like the only daughter of Daniels Group’s CEO, Jenna Daniels.”Upon hearing that, Jasmine immediately said, “Seren, this man might really be Zachary. Josh mentioned York Corporation and Daniels Group were working
“If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, then there’s nothing we can do,” Adrian said.The Dott brothers pretended to decline the money, but after some back-and-forth, they eventually accepted, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.“I’ll call a car to take you back,” Adrian said, pulling out his phone to arrange transportation for them.Of course, they were not actually leaving Jensburg. They planned to start their operation tonight, aiming to deal with Caroline quickly to avoid any complications.“Thank you, Mr. Clark. You've already done so much for us,” the Dott brothers said, continuing to play their roles. They had come this far in their act and did not mind keeping up the charade a little longer.Soon, a black car really did arrive and stopped nearby. The driver stepped out and approached, respectfully greeting the three Clark brothers.“Take these two gentlemen home. They are Ms. Celine’s biological brothers,
Justin returned to the dining room and packed up all the leftover dishes they had not finished, along with the opened but unfinished bottle of wine. He stuffed everything into several bags and carried them out. Handing the leftovers to Jacob, he said, “If we’re going to keep up appearances, we need to make it look like we’re really giving you our charity, so take these leftovers back with you. You can heat them up for dinner tonight, otherwise, just toss them in the trash after you leave, but don’t throw away the wine—only you two had it. We haven’t touched it.“This wine is really good stuff, too. Where you’re from, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to buy such fine wine. And if you did find any, it’d probably be fake.”Jacob took the leftovers and the unfinished bottle of wine from Justin. The wine was indeed excellent. In fact, he would have asked for it himself even if Justin had not offered it. In all his life, he had never tasted such good wine.“Once you’re re
Adrian beckoned Celine’s brothers closer in a low voice. The two had had some alcohol, and it was going to their heads. Their faces reddened in excitement and they hurried over.Adrian handed the suitcase to Jacob by the handle. He watched as Jacob laid it on the ground and opened it, exposing the thick wads of cash within.The Dott brothers' hands were trembling from excitement, for they had never seen so much cash before. At the thought that the bagful of cash was theirs now, wide smiles broke out across their faces. They each took a bundle and kissed it a couple of times.“I love this the most,” Jacob exclaimed excitedly. “The more, the better, and the more, the merrier.”“Me, too. Jacob, we’ll take ten bundles each. Let’s just keep the cash in this bag for now and when we get home, we’ll secretly divide it. For now, let’s not tell Mom, your wife, or any others.”The more people knew, the more talk there would be, so it was better for as few people as possible to know.Actuall
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
