Hayden allowed Kevin’s pestering, which meant he did not hate him. The butler said regretfully, “Mr. and Mrs. Queen as well as Mr. Hugh’s attitude toward this matter is devastating. Mr. Hayden is such an excellent person, but… If he were a woman, or if Mr. Kevin becomes Ms. Kevin, I’d support them in being together and give them my blessing. However, they’re both men!”Hayden’s parents were not worried, but the butler was. The bodyguards remained silent. They thought their young master could be a gay, just that no one knew about it because he hid it too well. Many women fancied Mr. Hayden, but none of them could win over his heart. Was that not indirectly implying that he did not like women?If he did not like women, did that mean he preferred men?…After returning from Queen Manor, Caroline saw her mother and Celine’s cars parked in the parking lot of the front courtyard. She knew they were home. She got out of her car but did not go into the house immediately. Instead,
Celine was dumbfounded. She only spoke one sentence. Was Caroline, who always rendered her speechless at home, actually upset?Caroline even ran into the house aggrievedly. Was she going to tattle to their mother?With that thought, Celine quickly jogged into the house. She could not let Caroline snatch the opportunity of tattling to Mom. Was the country bumpkin changing her strategy of fighting for affection?When Celine entered the house, she saw Caroline sitting beside Mom. Caroline was speaking, but she stopped when she saw Celine entering. It was obvious that she had been tattling on Celine to their mom. Their parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law’s expressions looked slightly off. “Mom.”Celine walked over quickly and squeezed herself between Caroline and their mother. She forcefully pushed Caroline aside. Next, she circled her hands around her mom’s arm intimately and said, “Mom, don’t listen to Caroline’s nonsense. I didn’t do anything to her. She was the one who
However, a daughter’s words carried the most weight within the Fisher family. Caroline was Madam Fisher’s only daughter. She was indeed the young lady of the Fisher family who would take over as matriarch in the future. Therefore, she did have the final say in the family. Her brothers had no rights of inheritance, let alone her sisters-in-law. Although women were prioritized in the Fisher family, they had to be a Fisher and not someone who married into the family. “Alright. I’m still catching my breath. What are you all quarreling for?”Madam Fisher said in a serious tone, “Since I’ve already promised to get Caroline a new car, I won’t go back on my word. If you have any opinions on that, swallow them.“No matter what, Caroline is the young lady of our family. It’s embarrassing for her to drive an old car around. She represents the Fishers now. Her embarrassment reflects ours too. I’m doing this for our family’s reputation.“You shall accompany Caroline to get a car tomorrow,
Madam Fisher’s husband’s last name was Clark. Everyone in the Fisher Manor addressed him as Mr. Clark. All his sons inherited his last name. Ever since Mr. Clark decided to marry Madam Fisher and become a live-in son-in-law when he was younger, it was inevitable that his wife would overpower him for the rest of his life.Luckily, Madam Fisher was in love with him too. They had feelings for each other. She would show him respect before their children and employees to establish his authority. Mr. Clark only felt like a patriarch around his children. Caroline heard her father’s words and smirked. She said, “I never thought of taking Mr. Hayden as my husband. Besides, I’ve made it clear that I was visiting Mr. Donald. Mr. Hayden just happened to be around as it was the weekend.“You don’t have to worry about me being infatuated with Mr. Hayden, Dad. Instead, you should be worried about your beloved daughter. She’s the one going wild over Mr. Hayden.”Mr. Clark looked toward Ce
Celine would go crazy if the man she loved were to come out of the closet because of Kevin. “What are Mr. and Mrs. Queen thinking? Are they trying to be connected to the York family? No matter how powerful they are, they’re based in Wiltspoon. Even if the York family has a business in Jensburg, can they surpass the Queen family? There’s no need for Mr. Donald to please Kevin.“Kevin is so hateful. Which woman in Jensburg doesn’t despise him now? If murdering someone weren’t a crime, he would’ve died countless times.”Celine had the urge to carve Kevin to pieces. After a long silence, Madam Fisher said, “As outsiders, we can’t make any judgments. It all depends on what Hayden thinks. No one can stop him if he really likes Kevin and is willing to go against the norm to be with him.“Mr. and Mrs. Queen have always let their children make their own decisions. They’re incredibly open-minded too. They don’t interfere much with what their sons are doing.“As for Hayden… He might’ve be
Since tens of years had passed, the two daughters would have aged. They were probably being tortured by life, or they could have become someone’s grandmother. Even if they were found, they would not pose a threat to Madam Fisher. After stopping the people and warning them off, Madam Fisher was not worried that her two nieces would seek revenge and snatch her position. After all, she had been the matriarch for decades and held absolute power within the Fisher family. Even if her two nieces were found, what could they use to fight her?In case they were capable, Madam Fisher could get someone to send them to their deaths, just like how she arranged for someone to abandon them back then. Of course, she hoped her nieces were having a difficult time getting by. That way, she could come up with a lie and offer them some benefits to fool them. She had erased all evidence and eliminated every witness of the past incident. Even if everyone in Jensburg were to accuse her of killing her
Although he had arranged everything beforehand and was waiting for Hayden to take the bait, he was not confident about it. After all, Hayden had disguised herself as a man for more than twenty years. Asking her to remove her disguise all of a sudden and face that she was a woman would most likely result in her having a long mental battle. Kevin thought she would watch him swim all night. He waited for some time, but Hayden did not come out. “Did she change her mind?” Kevin murmured. He got up and was about to go to the changing rooms to have a look. At that moment, the door to the changing room opened. Hayden had her arms crossed in front of her chest. She walked out awkwardly. Kevin burst out laughing when he saw her. “I thought you fell asleep inside and was about to check on you, but you came out instead.”Kevin smiled and said, “Where did your confidence go, Hayden? You don’t even dare to hold your head up, looking like a coward now. “Hayden ignored him. She st
When Hayden exited the pool, she noticed Kevin had already gotten out long ago. He must have gone to the changing rooms as she did not see him around. Hayden did not think much and walked to the changing rooms too. When she entered, the men’s clothing she had taken off earlier had disappeared. The fake pecs she used to disguise herself as a man were also gone. Only a set of women’s clothing was left. There was no doubt that Kevin had entered the female changing room first while she was swimming and stole her men’s clothing. That shameless man was forcing her to wear a dress. Hayden had never worn a dress. She turned and exited the female changing room and went to the one for males. She knocked on the door and shouted, “Kevin, return me my clothes and stuff.”“I’ve already packed them up for you. I’ll give them back to you when we’re leaving.”Kevin’s brazen voice rang inside. Hayden’s expression went dark. She ordered, “Kevin, return me my clothes right now.”If sh
