Chapter 2035

Author: Gu Lingfei
“I like this side of you, Hayden. You fight fair and square,” Kevin said with admiration.

Hayden spoke indifferently, “There’s always a reason behind losing. One can win after finding out the reason and rectifying it. However, I don’t care about winning or losing. I don’t want to make enemies just because of business.”

No one would stay enemies forever in the business industry.

However, no one remained friends forever too.

Hayden was aware of that.

“Didn’t you verify that Mrs. Stone from Wiltspoon is the daughter of the previous matriarch of the Fisher family?”

“It’s not confirmed yet, but it’s very likely. Mrs. Stone fits the description of the eldest daughters of the Fisher family being exceptionally outstanding. She may be retired now, but she used to be a powerful figure in the business industry of Wiltspoon before her retirement.

“My nana admired her greatly. She said she had taken a liking to Mrs. Stone when Mrs. Stone was young and wanted to take her in as her daught

    Kevin was still unaware that Hank was no longer in a life-threatening condition. He would not pay attention to a b*stard’s situation anyway. He only knew that the Brown family utterly regretted their decision. “The b*stard’s mother and sister are even thinking of getting him and Liberty to remarry. Liberty isn’t that stupid. Why will she jump into the same trap after barely escaping from it? They’re just feeling regret because her life improved after the divorce.“Although the mistress got married to the b*stard and became his wife, she never gave birth to a child. She was pregnant, but the baby was lost after she had a fall. It’s retribution. I’ve always heard that what goes around comes around and that it’s just a matter of time.“I used to think it was merely a saying. If retribution existed, there wouldn’t be so many people doing bad things. However, I believed in the saying after seeing how the Brown family ended up.”Hank and his family were the fastest examples of retri

    Kevin was happy. He said, “You have good taste, Hayden. The York family’s men are all great people. We’re definitely not b*stards. It’s fine that you admire all of us, but I wish you could admire me more.”Hayden looked toward him and asked, “Kevin, was I the candidate your grandmother chose to be your wife?”She had thought of that question for some time. The York family’s actions only made sense if that was the case. Besides, it was strange that Kevin knew that she was a woman so easily. Hayden did not believe Kevin had sharp eyes to recognize her as a woman at first sight. They had not spent much time with each other either. No matter how clever Kevin was, he did not have such discerning eyes. She had disguised herself as a man for over twenty years, and no one ever found out. How could Kevin determine that she was a woman just after meeting her several times?However, it would be possible if Old Mrs. York had noticed it. She was skilled in obtaining intel when she was yo

    Hayden stood up. Her smile disappeared, and her expression turned stern. She warned Kevin in a cold voice, “If you dare expose my secret, I’ll never let you off.”Kevin never took her warning to heart at all, but he said, “Why will I leak your secret? If other people were to find out that you’re a woman and fall in love with you, won’t I be attracting love rivals myself?“I already have a bunch of rivals now. I don’t want to have more of them. I must be the most pitiful man to have so many females as love rivals.”Hayden said coldly, “You brought this upon yourself.”After that, she pushed her chair back and left. She never asked him to pursue her anyway. Kevin never went after her. He said loudly, “Remember to be back home for the grilled fish. Do invite my future brother-in-law as well.”Hayden said, “Who’s your brother-in-law? Can you have some sense of shame, Kevin?”“You’re not my brother-in-law, of course. I act properly when I’m with other people, but I’m only shameles

    A hint of coldness flashed across Madam Fisher’s eyes. Celine actually believed in the words she spoke casually. Caroline was her biological daughter, at least. Although Celine was innocent, she had to pay for her father’s sins. Madam Fisher concealed her coldness and consoled Celine gently, “Alright. Don’t cry. He’s the third young master of the Yorks. Isn’t it normal that he didn’t treat you politely?“Stop crying. Your makeup is all smudged from crying. You should go to the lounge to touch it up later.”Madam Fisher sighed. She added, “Cece, even though we’re considered a wealthy family in Jensburg, we’re not in the top class. The Queen family has a higher status than us, but they can’t compare to the York family in Wiltspoon. There aren’t many top-class wealthy families like the Yorks.“You ignored my advice not to offend Kevin and did it anyway. I can help you if it were other people, but I can’t do anything if the person is Kevin.”“Mom.”Feeling aggrieved, Celine sa

    After wiping Celine’s tears, Madam Fisher said softly, “Mr. Queen is young and promising, and Queen Enterprise is stronger in finances compared to the Fisher family. They also hold a higher status in Jensburg than us. Mr. Queen will never be a live-in son-in-law.“That’s unless you can make him fall deeply in love with you and willingly become the Fisher family’s live-in son-in-law for your sake. Now that Caroline is back, I must let her take over my position based on our family rules. Even if I’m unhappy with her inheriting the position, I can’t change the rules.“However, it’s better this way. Caroline and Mr. Queen can never be together while you’ll be able to pursue him openly. Cece, if you like Mr. Queen, you must use the correct method to woo him. You shouldn’t bully others with your identity. You don’t have the ability to do so either because you have very formidable love rivals.“You have to think of a way to obtain Mr. Queen’s favor. Remember, as long as you can make him fa

    “You should get out quick, Caroline. Don’t spoil Mom’s mood here. Look at how angry she is because of you. Just go out.”Celine pretended to be nice and persuaded Caroline to leave. She even went forward to push and urge Caroline out. Caroline simply allowed Celine to push her out without giving an explanation and neither did she put up any resistance. After pushing Caroline out of the office, Celine shut the office door with a bang. She was elated. Mom had passed a few smaller businesses and subsidiaries to Caroline to manage, and she had produced remarkable results. However, while it seemed that Caroline had full control over them, it turned out that she had been relying on other people’s help. She also presented her brothers’ efforts as her own. If so, Celine was relieved. So what if Caroline was Mom’s biological daughter? If she could not satisfy Mom, she would not be able to be the next matriarch. Mom would probably hand over the position to Celine instead. After

    Caroline was aware of everyone’s thoughts. Ring, ring…After entering the elevator, Caroline received a call. She only picked up the call after seeing the caller’s name. “Ms. Caroline, I received news that the previous matriarch, who was your eldest aunt, did have two daughters. They disappeared tens of years ago. I heard they’re currently in Wiltspoon,”Wiltspoon?Caroline asked coldly, “Do you know where in Wiltspoon exactly? How are they doing now? Do they remember anything about their family background?”“The elder daughter of the previous matriarch seems to have married into the Stone family in Wiltspoon. She’s the mother of the CEO of Stone Group. On the other hand, the younger daughter passed away in a car accident sixteen years ago, but she left two daughters behind. One of them is the missus of the York family, the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon.”Upon hearing that, Caroline’s expression changed. She heard some gossip after returning to the Fisher family. She happen

    “I can’t keep this a secret, Ms. Caroline. I got my information from them. They’ve already sent someone to meet Mrs. Stone in Wiltspoon.”After a moment of silence, Caroline said, “Okay. I got it. Keep it a secret from Madam Fisher for now.”Her mom would probably have to return what she had stolen in the end. It all depended on her choice. After ending the call, Caroline leaned against the elevator’s wall and stared at the ceiling. The Fisher family was a mess. If the rumors were true, her mom’s hands were stained with the blood of her eldest and youngest aunts. Her mom would even disregard family ties to fight for power. She was ruthless. How could Caroline make a choice?What did she have to do?Caroline could never be her mom’s accomplice. Although she grew up in a village, she had proper values. She could differentiate between good and evil. She would make arrangements again after confirming whether Mrs. Stone in Wiltspoon was her eldest aunt’s daughter. What

    Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

    After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

    Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

    Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

    Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

    The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa

    The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her

    Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre

    Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc
