“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.
“Your health and spirits are as good as ever, Grandma May,” Lilian complimented,She had assessed the old lady’s health at FC Manor previously. Grandma May was as fit as a fiddle and could definitely live for another tens of years. Lilian’s mentor, the genius doctor, would live a long life too. He was especially healthy because he maintained his health through natural remedies consisting of precious medicinal plants. He also said he would try to live until he was 120 years old because he had more things to worry about. He wanted to see Oliver have a family of his own. Oliver was still a baby though. Grandma May held Lilian’s hand with a smile. “Lilian, does your mentor have any pills that can promote longevity? Can you give some to me? I want to be healthier and live longer. It’s best if I can live until the age of 120. It isn’t rare for someone to live past 100 years old now anyway.“I don’t know when I’ll be able to have a great-granddaughter. I need to hold her in my arms.
Camryn had been blind for many years. During those years, she had followed Evelyn to seek treatment at various places. They even turned to religion to pray for a cure before. Nevertheless, every attempt came to a dead end. They had failed so many times that Camryn no longer dared to harbor hope. She knew Dr. Carden was everyone’s last shot at curing her eyes.Camryn could handle being disappointed alone if the outcome was undesirable. She was used to it anyway. However, it seemed like everyone would have to experience that disappointment with her. “Don’t be scared.”Callum threw his arms open and hugged Camryn tightly. After releasing her, he softly kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”Camryn raised her head toward Callum and tried to look at his face. However, her vision was still a blur. She could not see him clearly. His words, hug, and kiss brought a river of warmth to her heart. Suddenly, she did not feel nervous anymore. She nodded lightly. Call
“I haven’t met Dr. Carden. I happened to be on a business trip when she came. Callum had just brought me back. We’re at his house and about to meet Dr. Carden soon.”Trenton was still worried about her and this made Camryn happy. “No matter the result, don’t give up. If Dr. Carden can’t do anything, we can look for a better doctor,” Trenton reassured her.Everyone knew that Camryn would not be able to regain her sight if even Dr. Carden could not treat her eyes. Dr. Carden was the miracle healer’s disciple and he was legendary because his skills were undoubtedly the best. After a moment of silence, Camryn consoled her brother in return, “I won’t be sad, Trenton. I can accept any result. I’ve gotten used to living in darkness after so many years. It’s just a pity that Callum has to marry me, a blind person, despite being such an outstanding person himself.”“Camryn.”Callum said, “I don’t feel aggrieved at all. Since the day I fell in love with you, I’ve decided to marry you a
Dr. Carden’s name was well-known. Those who have not seen her before thought a doctor skilled in both medicine and toxicology with a good reputation would be middle-aged. “Dr. Carden, this is my fiancée, Camryn Newman,” Callum introduced. Lilian knew right away that Camryn was the patient when she saw Callum assisting an unfamiliar woman walking in. “Ms. Newman.”Lilian knew Camryn relied on her hearing to determine a person’s location. Therefore, she greeted Camryn. Camryn had been facing the stairs after she entered the house. She turned to Lilian’s direction upon hearing her voice. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. “Nice to meet you, Dr. Carden.”“Come here and sit, Ms. Newman. I’ll conduct a basic examination.”Lilian did not hesitate to ask Callum to help Camryn walk over and sit beside her. She would be conducting some simple checkups on Camryn. Callum quickly aided Camryn to walk over. Even Grandma May, who had been sitting beside Lilian, made way for Camr
Lilian said with a smile, “Don’t worry. It’s not untreatable. Since it’s coming from me, you know I don’t joke around.” She patted the back of Camryn’s hand. “Take it easy. The treatment will be no more than three months. If you can’t see clearly after three months, I’ll get my mentor to treat you, but my mentor can’t beat me when it comes to getting an antidote for poisons. Lilian had a vast knowledge of poisonous plants from growing them, far surpassing that of her mentor. That was how she earned her reputation in the medical and poison field. Heck, she would be called a miracle healer in ancient times. Everybody was overjoyed by the news. They knew there was hope for Camryn to see again with Dr. Carden working on her case. “Thank you, Dr. Carden.” Feeling relieved, Camryn took Lilian’s hands and thanked her profusely. Lilian uttered with a grin, “Don’t mention it. You should thank your Aunt Evelyn, her husband, and your fiancé. You are where you are today because o
Abel left the world in tears. Evelyn had no idea that Cain and Paige had something to do with Abel’s death… These people were cruel. Evelyn believed Cain and Paige deserved to be locked up and faced heavy penalties. They deserved no sympathy.For the things they did to Abel and her niece, Evelyn believed they should get a death sentence. Carrie would soon leave prison. However, so what if she could escape jail time? Without her parents to rely on, Carrie could be arrogant all she wanted, but she would not amount to anything when Camryn regained her eyesight. Evelyn’s mind wandered to her older sisters. They were vicious for attempting to impersonate Callum to deceive Camryn. Callum’s revenge pushed them over the edge, and now they were facing bankruptcy. Served them right! Overwhelmed with emotions, Evelyn and Camryn embraced each other and wailed out loud. Nobody stopped them to allow them to vent the pain and suffering within. Lilian opened her medical kit which
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
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
