Married at First Sight Chapter 2168
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
Married at First Sight Chapter 2173
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,

“Me too. I’ll like it whether it’s a girl or a boy. Of course, I’ll be happier if we have a girl.”Zachary grinned and watched his wife finish the spicy fries.After saying that, he felt like his words would make Serenity feel pressured to have a daughter, so he quickly added, “Seren, you don’t have to feel pressured to have a daughter. Both Nana and my mom didn’t get girls like they wanted.“Since they failed to have a daughter, they have no right to pressure you.”Serenity laughed. “I’m not pressured. The elders in your family aren’t picky either. They’re happy enough that I can give you a baby.”She did not get pregnant for a year after they married.Everyone was worried that she was sterile.The York family went from wanting her to give birth to a daughter to just getting pregnant.Now that she was pregnant, it meant that the young couple was healthy. The elders were very happy with that and would not be picky about the baby’s sex.Zachary also laughed, thinking that what

“You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s

Isabella’s bodyguard had only called out to her, not daring to touch her, so she had not woken up. However, when Austin gently patted her face and called her, she woke up almost immediately. When she opened her eyes and saw Austin’s handsome face, Isabella was momentarily dazed, thinking she was dreaming about him.She had actually dreamed about Austin. Had she developed feelings for him? If she had not, why would she dream about him? In all her life, this was the first time she had dreamed about a man. Isabella wanted to touch Austin’s face, but as she raised her hand, she realized she was not dreaming.Austin was real. She could smell the fresh scent on him because they were so close.He had showered.Isabella quietly lowered her hand, hoping Austin had not noticed her earlier intention, lest he misunderstood.“Ms. Isabella,” Austin’s warm and pleasant voice reached her ears, making her want to close her eyes and go back to sleep. With him around, she felt safe and secure.

Hunter had neither money nor power. What could he possibly use to save his sons?“Dad, go home. When the trial starts, we’ll send someone to pick you up so you can attend and observe.”Hunter stood up angrily and stormed off.After he left, Ellie asked Ava, “Are we really not going to do anything? My child is still young. Having a father in prison will always be a stain on their life.”“What can we do? Even if we wanted to save them, we don’t have the means. We know what Caroline is like. She’s not going to let this go lightly this time,” Ava replied. “Anyway, think about last year, when they were caught cheating. How did they treat us then?”Remembering the events from last year, Ellie said, “Let them serve a few years in prison, then. Ava, Caroline is in the hospital. Should we go visit her?”“We should. Let’s go tomorrow. We’ll call Emma and visit Caroline together. The Fisher family is full of terrible people, but Caroline still has some conscience. She’s always been kind t

Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that money had been spent. He had no savings, mainly because he was used to spending extravagantly.He had been unable to save money. He did not own any shops or properties either; Belinda had kept him on a tight leash.The house in their hometown had been built with Belinda’s money, but it was not under his name. It was under his three sons’ names.After Belinda’s death, his sons supported him. Each son gave him over a hundred thousand dollars a month for living expenses.Combined, that was several hundred thousand dollars a month, allowing him to live comfortably in Ashford. He had managed to save a little, but not much, just over a million dollars in total. Hiring the best lawyers for h

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
