When Hayden approached, Caroline stood up and greeted her with a smile, saying, “Mr. Queen.”Hayden smiled unusually and asked, “When did you arrive, Ms. Fisher? You should have given me a call beforehand so I could meet you at the main gate.”Blushing slightly and looking a little embarrassed, Caroline replied, “I don’t work on weekends, and I was bored at home. I don’t have many friends either. It’s just that you treat me a bit better, so I took the liberty to come and chat with you, Mr. Queen.”She no longer had any illusions about Hayden, but he did indeed treat her with a certain gentleness. Hayden was cold and distant toward other young women, but he showed her a warm side.Hayden was still smiling at her, even now.Caroline found his smile particularly attractive.Even though he rarely smiled.She figured it was because he had so many admirers.Everyone wanted to melt his icy cold demeanor and become the one and only in his heart among all his admirers.If he smiled lik
Hayden, being so outstanding and good-looking, could easily captivate Kevin. Despite the judgmental eyes of society, Kevin openly pursued him, displaying both courage and Hayden’s boundless charm.Later, Caroline learned that her aunt’s two daughters were in Wiltspoon, and the second aunt’s younger daughter happened to be the esteemed daughter-in-law of the York family, Serenity.It all became clear to Caroline.She probably resembled someone closely. Judging by Kevin’s attitude toward her, Caroline believed she resembled Serenity.As Serenity was Kevin’s sister-in-law and it was said that the young masters of the York family held great respect for their eldest brother, Zachary, naturally, they would also hold respect for Serenity as their sister-in-law.Caroline also wanted to visit Wiltspoon to meet Audrey, and to meet the two sisters, Serenity and Liberty.Mrs. Stone was her cousin, the two sisters would have to address her as their aunt.However, it was not the right time ye
This meant the Fisher family’s matriarch was not a fool. She would not do something disadvantageous to the Fisher family. “Hay’s right. You can come over anytime you like, Ms. Caroline. We’ll be happy to have you.”Sophia had invited Caroline over because she wanted her daughter to learn to act as a woman from Caroline. Although there was not much hope, Sophia still bore some anticipation. Ah, she regretted it. She should not have raised her daughter as a son. Back then, Sophia simply found it entertaining. She would dress her two children up as boys whenever she headed out. It made people think she had given birth to twin boys.When the children started going to preschool, her daughter insisted on dressing up as a boy. She simply followed her wishes as her daughter was still young. Subsequently, she realized her daughter was already too far gone on the path of dressing up as a man. She wanted to correct Hayden’s behavior, but it was too late. Her daughter always intr
Caroline had been bullied while growing up in her adoptive parents’ house. Filling her stomach was good enough. She did not dare to be picky. Although she had managed to earn money, became a boss with a net worth of over ten million dollars, and tasted all sorts of delicacies afterward, she still was not picky about food. She accepted all foods regardless of their simplicity or quality. The food provided by the Fisher family was great. However, the kitchen never prepared the dishes Caroline liked as she was not picky. Despite not being picky, there were still some dishes that she particularly enjoyed. The kitchen staff was simply neglecting Caroline. Whenever everyone had a meal together, her mother’s favorite dishes would surely be served on the dining table. Celine’s would be too. There would always be at least one type of everyone’s preferred food. Caroline was the only person neglected by the kitchen staff. Caroline did not care. However, she included it in her observ
Hayden sighed. “Perhaps someone else’s child is always better.”Caroline laughed. “I understand, Mr. Queen. My mom’s the same. She always mentions how great other daughters are and says I’m stupid. She scolded me for being incompetent and useless.“My mom compares me to Celine often too. She said Celine was better than me and that she wouldn’t have trained me as her successor if it weren’t for the rules set by the Fishers’ ancestors. Anyway, she hates me in many aspects.”Caroline’s tone was nonchalant, but Hayden could sense the sadness in it. Although Caroline did not grow up by Madam Fisher’s side, they were still mother and daughter. It would be weird if Caroline did not feel hurt by the constant scoldings she received from her mother. “You’re a great girl, Caroline. You don’t have to care about what your mom says. I believe you’ll be able to inherit Fisher Enterprise from your mom.”Hayden consoled Caroline. She added, “Although Celine had grown up by Madam Fisher’s side
“She said she could take on an easy position and wouldn’t compete with me for power. I’m not afraid of her fighting me for power, but I’ll never take in idlers.“However, it seems like my mom wants Celine back at the company. I’m not scared of her even if she returns.”Hayden turned to look at Caroline. Caroline did the same. After some time, she said, “I never thought the person who’d see through me would be you, Mr. Queen.”“Other people’s opinion of you doesn’t matter as long as your mom understands and sees through you. The matriarch of your family has absolute power. That’s why you don’t have to mind other people if your mom knows you well enough.”Caroline’s smile faltered. “My mom? She’s always biased toward Celine.” Hayden did not say a word. Celine had grown up by Madam Fisher’s side. Madam Fisher had unknowingly showered all the love she had for her daughter on Celine. Therefore, despite finding out that Celine was not her real daughter, she could not let go of the mo
To think that Hugh had the audacity to dislike Caroline. Caroline did not even fancy him at all. However, Caroline was right. Hugh had too many close female friends from various industries. Who would believe him even if he said he was just friends with them?If he had a girlfriend, how would she be able to accept it?Caroline said, “I believe you when you said Mr. Hugh is faithful once he falls in love with someone. However, it’s difficult to make that kind of man fall in love. They’re used to enjoying a forest rather than staying with only one tree.”Since Caroline had no feelings for Hugh, it would be inappropriate for Hayden to continue talking about her younger brother. Who told her brother to look flirty all the time?From that moment onward, Hayden gave up playing matchmaker for her brother and Caroline. Hayden and Caroline strolled a few rounds around the garden. When Donald and the rest returned, Kevin cooked personally and prepared a delicious feast for everyone. O
Did the wild girl think he had no clue she admired his sister?Unfortunately, his brother was not a brother but a sister. Caroline was bound to be disappointed. Donald suddenly got up. He told his children, “Hay, Hugh, spend some quality time with Kevin. I’m taking your mom on a drive.”“I’m going with you, Dad.”Hugh did not want to be a third wheel. Donald glared at his son. He scolded, “Why are you going on your parents’ drive? You can go on one yourself if you want to. Don’t follow us.”Hugh said, “Dad… I’m your son. Your biological son.”Donald let out a hmph and said, “I’m only talking to you because you’re my son. If it were other people, I would’ve kicked them aside right away.”Hugh was speechless.He was certain that he was a free gift given to his parents. Donald and his wife left within ten minutes. Hugh found an excuse and sneaked out too. Hayden sighed as Hugh did. She knew her family was creating a chance for her and Kevin to be alone. Was she her parents’
