Chapter 2169

Author: Gu Lingfei
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,

    “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

    Serenity hurried Zachary while grinning.Zachary watched her fasten her seatbelt before he started driving.He drove around leisurely before returning to their house in Brynfield.Although it had been ages since the couple stayed at their Brynfield home, Mrs. Lane would come over daily to clean the house. She would also look after the plants that Serenity grew on the balcony.Upon entering the house, Serenity switched on the lights. Then, she headed straight to the swing on the balcony and sat on the swing. Sighing, she said, “This is the swing I’ve been dreaming of.”The hilltop villa had a swing too but what she missed about the house was the swing. Perhaps this was where Zachary and her relationship developed.After all, it was not the same.Zachary poured her a glass of warm water. After that, he switched on the lights on the balcony and sat beside her. Once he lifted his head, he saw the two bamboo poles used for drying clothes.He remembered that Serenity went all the w

    That night, the couple was chatting till the wee hours. Eventually, Serenity was so tired that she fell into a slumber, which put an end to their conversation.The next day, Serenity was woken by some door knocks.The knocks were similar to those that happened at midnight a year ago. She was under the impression that Zachary would not return, so she locked the door. However, she ended up being awakened by Zachary’s knocks on the door.She opened her eyes, tilted her head, and looked at her side. Zachary was not around.She supposed that he had gotten up early to make her breakfast.The knocking soon ceased as the door was opened.Zachary opened the door, only to see his nana. He greeted her.Grandma May pushed him away and entered the house directly while asking, “Where’s Seren?”“She’s still sleeping. Did you spend the night traveling over here? You came at such an early hour. How do you know we’re here?”Upon learning that Serenity was still sleeping, Grandma May softened he

    “But as time passed, we treated you decently, no? Yet, you’ve never had any regard for us, your brothers, and not even for Dad.“You’ve been back with us for several years now. Even if we weren’t particularly close to you, we weren’t exactly terrible either, but you’ve always shut us out, never treating us as family. It’s you who couldn’t integrate into this family, not us who rejected you.”Every time Adrian saw Caroline, he had a lot to say. He always complained that Caroline was not close to them and that she was not on their side.Caroline wore a neutral expression. “Adrian, you might be much older than me, but you’re only middle-aged. Has your memory already started failing? Do I need to remind you of all the things you’ve done behind my back?“It’s not that I didn’t want to integrate into this family, it’s you who’ve always excluded me. You never treated me as your sister. “In your hearts, Celine was your sister, while I was just an intruder who shouldn’t have come back, wh

    Adrian’s housekeeper was long bribed by Darren. Whenever he needed them, they would do his bidding. The video and audio recordings were sent by the housekeeper to Darren, who then forwarded them to Caroline.After reviewing the evidence, Caroline no longer felt like resting. She got out of bed, went into the bathroom, and quickly freshened up. When she came out, she grabbed her phone and left the lounge.She first brewed herself a cup of coffee, then carried the steaming cup to her desk and sat down, leisurely sipping it.Then, a knock sounded at the door.“Come in,” Caroline said.The door opened, and in walked Adrian.Seeing him enter, Caroline’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained calm. She continued sipping her coffee as she watched her eldest brother approach.“Carol,” Adrian said with a forced smile, his tone somewhat affectionate.Caroline stopped drinking her coffee. She casually placed the cup on the table, straightened up, and said, “Adrian,

    “You’re new here, so you wouldn’t know. I’ve been working here longer, and since the eldest son lives here, I’ve been able to hear the latest news about the Fisher family.”After all, family matters like these were not usually spread all over the city. Only major events that caught the media’s attention would get leaked. Adrian had no idea about the two security guards’ conversation. He believed he had executed his plan perfectly and was now just waiting for the final step to be carried out tonight in eliminating Caroline to avenge Celine and his mother, as well as reclaiming all of his mother’s private assets.He could not let Caroline take everything for herself.Adrian blamed Caroline for the deaths of Celine and Belinda, convinced that Caroline was responsible for their demise. However, in reality, even without Caroline, Audrey would have returned to seek justice for her mother, and the Fisher family would still have ended up in the same situation.

    “If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to us. If we can help, we will. If we can’t, then there’s nothing we can do,” Adrian said.The Dott brothers pretended to decline the money, but after some back-and-forth, they eventually accepted, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.“I’ll call a car to take you back,” Adrian said, pulling out his phone to arrange transportation for them.Of course, they were not actually leaving Jensburg. They planned to start their operation tonight, aiming to deal with Caroline quickly to avoid any complications.“Thank you, Mr. Clark. You've already done so much for us,” the Dott brothers said, continuing to play their roles. They had come this far in their act and did not mind keeping up the charade a little longer.Soon, a black car really did arrive and stopped nearby. The driver stepped out and approached, respectfully greeting the three Clark brothers.“Take these two gentlemen home. They are Ms. Celine’s biological brothers,

    Justin returned to the dining room and packed up all the leftover dishes they had not finished, along with the opened but unfinished bottle of wine. He stuffed everything into several bags and carried them out. Handing the leftovers to Jacob, he said, “If we’re going to keep up appearances, we need to make it look like we’re really giving you our charity, so take these leftovers back with you. You can heat them up for dinner tonight, otherwise, just toss them in the trash after you leave, but don’t throw away the wine—only you two had it. We haven’t touched it.“This wine is really good stuff, too. Where you’re from, even if you had the money, you wouldn’t be able to buy such fine wine. And if you did find any, it’d probably be fake.”Jacob took the leftovers and the unfinished bottle of wine from Justin. The wine was indeed excellent. In fact, he would have asked for it himself even if Justin had not offered it. In all his life, he had never tasted such good wine.“Once you’re re

    Adrian beckoned Celine’s brothers closer in a low voice. The two had had some alcohol, and it was going to their heads. Their faces reddened in excitement and they hurried over.Adrian handed the suitcase to Jacob by the handle. He watched as Jacob laid it on the ground and opened it, exposing the thick wads of cash within.The Dott brothers' hands were trembling from excitement, for they had never seen so much cash before. At the thought that the bagful of cash was theirs now, wide smiles broke out across their faces. They each took a bundle and kissed it a couple of times.“I love this the most,” Jacob exclaimed excitedly. “The more, the better, and the more, the merrier.”“Me, too. Jacob, we’ll take ten bundles each. Let’s just keep the cash in this bag for now and when we get home, we’ll secretly divide it. For now, let’s not tell Mom, your wife, or any others.”The more people knew, the more talk there would be, so it was better for as few people as possible to know.Actuall

    Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.

    Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,

    It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett
