Married at First Sight Chapter 2219
“Mom?” Celine was surprised to hear Madam Fisher’s voice over the phone. She took a whole different personality, making herself to be the victim as she answered, “Mom, Kevin pulled one on me. He deflated all my tires, and I’m stranded with the car. It’s hot outside. I wanted Caroline to pick me up. It won’t take her a lot of time to make a trip to Queen Enterprise anyway since it’s after work hours, and it won’t get in the way of her working overtime.” “Why did you get involved with Kevin again? Do you take my advice seriously? I told you not to get on Kevin’s nerves. He’s a York! Even I am courteous with Kevin. Who do you think you are to stir trouble with Kevin?” Madam Fisher let her anger rip. For once, she lost her patience with Celine. “Do you think you can bear the consequences of the York family going after our family? If that happens, don’t blame me for disowning you to save the family.” “Mom!”Celine thought she was hearing things. Was she talking to the moth

“Of course, Caroline would take the opportunity to complain about you to your mom since you ordered her to pick you up while they were meeting a client. Considering Caroline just closed a huge deal, your mom is sure to show her some level of respect.”Celine was overwhelmed with jealousy. “Well, isn’t she lucky?” “I know, right.” Emma allowed jealousy to rear its ugly head too. If Caroline managed to establish herself, then Caroline would become the head of the family while her husband would be left out of the picture. Her husband had been slaving away for Fisher Enterprise, but in the end, all his work would be for Caroline’s benefit. That fact would not sit well with Emma and her husband. While the battle between the real and fake heiresses of the Fisher family was in full swing, Serenity was spoiled by everybody in Wiltspoon. After returning from FC Manor, Serenity rested for a couple of days before throwing herself back into work. Zachary did not stop her from goi

“That’s right. The baby’s health is more important than gender. The York family has had sons for generations. They can’t blame you for not being able to birth a daughter. The deciding factor of a baby’s gender is the men anyway.”“Seren,” called a familiar voice.It was Grandma May.Elisa and Serenity looked toward the office door. They saw her entering with Mrs. Lane carrying a few insulated lunch boxes in her hands too. “What brings you here, Nana?”“Grandma May.”Serenity and Elisa stood. When Serenity spotted the lunch boxes Mrs. Lane was holding, she figured out why Grandma May had come. They were delivering food to her. The old lady smiled and said, “It’s noon. I don’t want you walking around because the weather’s scorching, so Cecilia and I are here to deliver some food for you to eat in the office. You can even take a rest after eating.”After speaking, she grinned at Elisa and said, “It’s been a while, Little Fireball.”Elisa grumbled unhappily, “I’m not little an

Mrs. Lane placed the sour prune aside and said with a grin, “You can’t let Mr. York know of this, Mrs. York. Otherwise, he’ll deduct my bonus.“I prepared two desserts for you too. It’s not much, just two small pieces to satisfy your cravings.”Serenity watched as Mrs. Lane took one delicious dish after another out of the insulated lunch boxes and placed them on the office table. Then, she looked toward the desserts. She could finish those two small pieces of cake in a bite.She said, “The cakes are tiny, Mrs. Lane. There’s only one sour prune too. It’ll only worsen my cravings, not satisfy them. It’s too little.”Grandma May said, “Zack gave Mrs. Lane a special reminder because he was scared you would vomit. He also stressed that I shouldn’t spoil you by letting you eat sour or sweet food. He told me that you even vomited bile this morning.“You should be content that Mrs. Lane even brought you one sour prune.”Serenity said, “Okay. I’m content. One it is. It’s better than none.

Serenity’s eyes gleamed after tasting the new dishes her sister had brought for her to try. Grandma May had the same reaction. After trying the new dish, she asked Liberty, “I’m going to sign up for a VIP membership at your restaurant and visit it every day. Your cooking skills have improved tremendously.”Serenity nodded while chewing. “Slow down, Seren. Don’t choke on the food.”Liberty smiled when she saw her sister enjoying the food so much. She said, “I signed up for culinary classes and practiced on my own after. Mr. Lewis was my taste tester. I brought these over for you all to try because he said they tasted great.“I feel reassured after hearing your comments, Grandma May.”“You’re the best, Liberty!”Serenity gave her sister a thumbs-up.Her sister was becoming a stronger, more successful woman. She had been an outstanding person from the start. Back then, she was blinded by love and foolishly resigned from her job to be a full-time housewife. She became so busy

Duncan thought Liberty had gone to visit Hank at the hospital again. “I see. Is Serenity doing fine?”“She’s fine. Zachary said her morning sickness wouldn’t be as severe if she didn’t eat sour or sweet food.”Duncan smiled and said, “I didn’t know something like that was possible.“Zachary definitely won’t let Seren have sweet or sour food anymore. Otherwise, he’ll be worried sick when she vomits and can’t leave for work all day. Even if he’s at the company, his heart will stay with her.”That was what happened to him too. Although he had returned to the company to work, he would keep thinking about Liberty when it was almost time to get off work. Duncan only returned to the office occasionally to handle some matters. He would always head to Liberty’s new restaurant in the afternoon to try out her new menu. Liberty was his lunch provider. “I instructed them to leave some food for you before I came out, Mr. Lewis. You can take your time eating. I’ll head back later.”Dunca

“Stop talking about this,” Hank scolded his sister. Chelsea pouted. Luke had to warn his daughter, “Don’t do anything stupid, Chelsea. I won’t let you off the hook if you cause trouble there.”Old habits died hard for his daughter. Her greed revealed itself again after her gratitude toward Liberty for rescuing Lucas at the zoo had dissipated. He was worried she would wreck the restaurant opening. Chelsea quickly said, “I dare not do anything, Dad. I don’t have a death wish. Look at Liberty’s status now. My own store will be destroyed if I sabotage hers. I’m not that silly.“I’m just envious. After all, we did contribute minorly to Liberty’s current success. If it weren’t for us, she wouldn’t have been able to be motivated and establish a career like this.”Chelsea’s shamelessness was truly off the charts. After listening to her, even her parents and brother felt she was shameless for flattering herself. “Hank, divorce that evil woman as soon as possible and get Liberty bac

“Have some water, Dr. Carden.”Lilian accepted the drink. “Thank you, Rosella.”“I should be the one thanking you. My son had you come over just a month after you gave birth. I’m so embarrassed by that. I’ve already scolded Callum.”Lilian gulped down half the glass of water. She was thirsty.“It’s okay. I almost died of boredom while recuperating anyway. I’ve wanted to leave my home for some time, but my husband doesn’t allow it. He insisted that I have ample home rest to recover. I’m a doctor. I’m more knowledgeable than him on how to regain my good health after giving birth.“Mr. Callum cares deeply for his fiancée. He persistently invited me over to treat her eyes despite needing to bear my husband’s disdain. I was touched by his deep love and I’m more than happy to make this trip for Ms. Newman.“I hope I can treat her eyes and let her have a good look at her fiancé’s face.”Camryn was engaged to Callum, yet she did not know what he looked like. Lilian found it a pity.

Married at First Sight Chapter 4127
Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in

“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car

“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request

“Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and

The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi

In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com

“I’m used to him being by my side. Now that he’s hidden, it just feels weird.”Caroline added, “Even if I want to kiss him, I can only do it in my dreams.”Liberty was speechless. Seeing Liberty being at a loss for words, Caroline smiled. “Did I renew your impression of me?”“Yes. I didn’t know you were this kind of person.”Caroline giggled. “Darren’s too serious and respectful. If I don’t take the lead, we might sleep on opposite ends of the bed after getting married. He probably won’t even dare to turn in bed.”Liberty thought of Darren’s face, which constantly had a stern expression. He only looked normal around Caroline. He indeed treated her respectfully and never dared to offend her. Liberty said, “You’re still his master. It’s only natural that he’s acting that way.“When you two become husband and wife, he’ll change. However, you won’t have to doubt his love and loyalty for you.”The next thing Liberty knew, Caroline asked her private questions regarding married lif

Caroline moved first, exiting the elevator.Adrian blocked her path, refusing to give way.Caroline did not want to argue with her brothers, so she simply sidestepped and continued toward the CEO’s office. The Clark brothers watched her leave.“Let’s go, Adrian.” Justin entered the elevator first.Adrian withdrew his gaze and led Jason into the elevator.“I heard Darren’s out on a business trip and has been sent to another province to handle some matters, so he won’t be back for at least ten days to half a month,” Jason shared in a low voice. “And for the past few days, Caroline’s only been accompanied by those few bodyguards of hers. There really hasn’t been any sign of Darren with her. I’ve asked someone to look into it and verified Darren left Jensburg by flight a few days ago. What do you think, Adrian?”Adrian replied under his breath, “We’re at work. Don’t talk about that here. We’ll talk about it when we get home tonight.”Justin and Jason immediately shut their mouths.

“I’m in charge now, not your mother. If you can’t do the work, then don’t cling to your positions and collect a salary for doing nothing.”Liberty had no intention of tolerating their laziness any longer.The three brothers had tried investing and running their own businesses, but they mostly ended up losing money. The only stable income they had was from renting out the properties and shops they owned.That was why Hunter had advised his sons to return to Ashford, buy more properties and shops, and live off the rental income. It was much more stable than their business ventures.If the properties were hard to rent out, they could always sell them and recover some money, but with their business investments, not only did they lose money, they often ended up in debt by the time the businesses failed.It was a mystery how much of Belinda’s personal wealth had been spent helping her sons pay off their debts while she was alive.However, there were times when they made money. They wou
