“You don’t have to doubt my intentions, Mrs. Stone. I really do want to know whether you and I are related by blood.”Caroline could understand Audrey’s thoughts.Based on the rumors about her mother, she and Audrey should have a hostile relationship.It was only natural that Audrey would be suspicious of her proposing to do a DNA test.“If those rumors are true, what will you do, Ms. Fisher?” Audrey asked Caroline.Caroline fell silent.Although she did not grow up with the Fisher family and only returned to the family for a little more than a year, she was still Belinda’s daughter.Although it was easy to say that one should place righteousness before family, how many people could actually do it?After a long time, she said, “If you have evidence, you can do whatever you want. I promise you that I won’t be your enemy. Even if my mother is punished as she deserves, I won’t blame you for it.”The only thing she could do was not be Audrey’s enemy. If Audrey wanted to send her m
Although Adrian could not take over Fisher Enterprise, he was still his mother’s son. Belinda could not bear to suppress her biological son.However, as the head of the family, Belinda had to maintain the legacy of power centered on the head of the family. She could not let others compete with the family head.The wolf raised by Belinda had to be slaughtered by her own hands.Caroline did not have much love for her three brothers. They did not treat her as a sister at all either.In the eyes of her brothers and sisters-in-law, Celine was their younger sister. They united with Celine to set traps for her, trip her up, and come up with all kinds of schemes to frame her.Caroline was more than happy to deal with them, but they still had some power in their hands. She had her work cut out for her if she wanted to settle accounts with them.She felt that if she did not have to take over Fisher Enterprise, then she would be out of sight, out of mind.It could be said that Caroline’s a
Caroline then decided she would cut her finger and squeeze out a few drops of blood. Her family would not notice if the wound was not deep.Given her family’s indifference to her, they would not find out even if she made a few slashes on her wrist.Audrey said gently, “You don’t have to be in such a rush, Ms. Fisher. You’re a guest here, so stay for a meal.”“Thank you, Mrs. Stone, but I’ll pass. I have to hurry back. I need to be home by ten tonight.”After a moment of silence, Audrey said, “In that case, I won’t force you to stay.”She ordered the housekeeper to bring a fruit knife and instructed him to hand it to Caroline along with a disposable cup.Caroline picked up the knife and decisively cut her finger with her hand. When the blood oozed out, she immediately caught it with the disposable cup and pressed on the wound after a few droplets fell.Seeing her do all this without a hint of hesitation, Audrey realized that this girl was a ruthless person.Fortunately, Caroline
Audrey called her eldest son when Liberty sent Caroline out. When Clive answered the phone, she instructed, “Caroline came for a visit. Get someone to keep a lookout. After she leaves Wiltspoon, erase any trace that she came here.Clive did not ask his mother for her reasoning and responded, “Got it, Mom.”“Finish up work and come back early to keep Alice company.”“Okay.”Audrey hung up the phone.Serenity had no idea that Caroline visited nor what she said and did at the Stones’ residence.She was the most beloved person in Wildridge Manor now.It was not until nine at night when she returned to Zachary and her room that Zachary had the chance to cling to her.“Babe.”Zachary returned to their room before she did.Upon their return and after the others heard that Serenity was pregnant, she was surrounded and coddled by her in-laws. Zachary had no place in it at all. Even if he sat beside Serenity, he would be pulled aside by his elders.Thus, after that happened several ti
“Have you told my sister and aunt?”Serenity was surrounded by the elders of her husband’s family, so she never had the time to tell her own family and friends.However, she knew that her husband would show off everywhere.It was just like how Josh also showed off everywhere when he learned that Jasmine was pregnant. Zachary had been incredibly sullen back then.Serenity and he got married first and became a loving couple with mutual affection, but Serenity never got pregnant.However, Josh got Jasmine pregnant after a month of marriage. How could Zachary not feel sullen?“I told Liberty and Clive. I couldn’t remember your aunt’s number off the top of my head since I was too happy. I only remembered Clive’s number, so I told him.“Did your aunt not call you?”Zachary thought that Audrey would be overjoyed after hearing the news and made a call.“My sister sent a message asking me, and I said I’m pregnant. Maybe she doesn’t know we came back. She told me to take care and rest.
Serenity brought up her grandmom’s advice to her sister and aunt in private, but both of them told her to wait. If she still could not get pregnant after three years of marriage, and there really was nothing wrong with the couple, then they could do as her grandmom said.They would adopt a child.When Lilian told her that she was pregnant, she felt her body relax. That excitement was something that Zachary could never experience.“Mom and Dad said they would transfer two hundred million to my account tomorrow.”Serenity suddenly told her husband.“They said it’s a reward for me. They said that I’m a great hero of the York family for giving them a grandchild at the risk of my body getting out of shape after pregnancy. They insisted on rewarding me, but isn’t it normal for a couple to have children?”Serenity felt a little sullen as she spoke.She felt that her in-laws directly giving her two hundred million made it seem like her getting pregnant was like doing business.Like it
Serenity had been married to Zachary for a year. Although she knew that he was the eldest young master of the richest family in the city and that her in-laws were also very wealthy, everyone had always pampered and spoiled her. It made her feel like affluent families were no different from ordinary families.Though, the rewards that the elders gave her for her pregnancy made her truly realize what affluent families were. They were extravagant!“Zachary.”Zachary bowed his head again to kiss her forehead and said with a gentle voice, “I still like it more when you call me Babe.”“I think I’m hungry again,” Serenity looked up at him and said in embarrassment.She ate a lot during dinner and was very full.Zachary asked indulgently, “What do you want to eat now? I’ll go downstairs and make it for you.”“I want some spicy fries, with lots of sauerkraut.”Zachary was silent.“There might not be spicy fries at home.”Serenity sat up straight and said to him with shining eyes, “Babe
“I should move around more when I’m pregnant. It’s not conducive to childbirth if I lay in bed every day.”Zachary neither agreed nor refused her. He just said, “We’ll go to a hospital tomorrow for a check-up and see what the doctor says. Don’t do anything strenuous for now.”“What strenuous stuff would I do anyway? I don’t need to climb mountains or till the fields. I just take care of my small business. At most, I’ll run around a little. I’ll also pay attention to my physical condition. If I feel unwell, I’ll definitely rest up.“In any case, you can’t be like Josh who stopped Jasmine from doing everything.”Zachary defended Josh. “Doesn’t Ms. Sox go to the bookstore every day to work? Josh doesn’t stop her from doing everything.”“You mean I can go work at the bookstore every day too?”“You were running the bookstore when I met you.”Serenity was silent.“As for the fruits and vegetables business, you can take care of it if it’s in Wiltspoon, but if there’s a need to travel,
