“I can’t believe Milky is letting you hold it. It’s an arrogant cat. It doesn’t like me holding it and will even scratch me,” Callum said in surprise when he saw Camryn holding the cat. Sasha said, “You kicked Milky before, so for sure it would hold a grudge against you. But it’s indeed a picky cat. It prefers people who are gentle.”“Am I fierce?”Callum did not find himself so. “Which one of you brothers is gentle? Milky is clever. It can sense if someone is pretending to be nice.”Callum was speechless. “Is the cat called Milky, Aunt Sasha? That’s adorable.”“I named it Milky because it has white fur. Cats are cute. You can ask Callum to get a cat if you like them. They’re very clingy. They’ll either sleep beside you or jump into your arms.”Camryn said happily, “Never mind. I don’t have the time to care for them now.“Zachary once gave Serenity a dog and two cats, but she didn’t have time to take care of them and handed them over to Mrs. Lane. So, they aren’t close to S
Camryn was not afraid of Carrie but the person hiding behind her. They still could not identify the person with the last name Gordon. “Let me know if you need any help.”“There’s no need to trouble all of you to deal with Carrie. I can handle this myself. I just can’t find out the identity of the person she contacted right after coming out of prison.“Callum said he’d ask Zachary to request Mr. Julian’s assistance to investigate that person. We’re just worried about being blindsided if they launch an ambush because we don’t know who they are.”Serenity said, “I’ll let Jasmine know, and she’ll relay the message to Josh. You don’t have to worry about this.”“Thank you.”“Small matter. I hope we all can live in peace.”Camryn smiled. She said, “No one’s life can always be smooth sailing. There are always bound to be challenges.”“You’re right.”Serenity stared at the sky and said softly, “I feel like a change is beckoning.”“Well, it’s late fall now. The seasons are changing.
“Let’s stop talking about her. We should go on with our lives.”“That’s right. The law has already punished them for what they did. By the way, since Carrie is out, she’ll probably look for Trenton. You should call him to inform him of this.”After a short silence, Camryn said, “She and Trenton are siblings by blood. Of course she’ll look for him. Trenton can make his own decisions now that he has come of age. I’ve always told him that I’ll respect all his choices.”Serenity said, “We’ll just let them be then.”Not all siblings had a close relationship like the York brothers or the Hunt sisters. Although Carrie and Camryn had different fathers, they shared the same mother. Moreover, their fathers were brothers. Despite the same Newman blood flowing in them, Carrie and Camryn were like enemies. Grandma May and Lilian returned to Wildridge Manor before the sky turned dark. Remy brought Elisa over too. The York brothers who were in Wiltspoon, save for Rowan still in school, came
At that time, Belinda had no idea that Celine was not her biological child. She simply felt that Celine was still not up to her expectations despite years of nurturing, so there was no hurry to arrange an assistant for Celine.Fortunately, she waited it out.Otherwise, new personnel selection and training would be required for Caroline’s assistant, which could take a long time to train such a specialized assistant.Once a successor was confirmed in the Fisher family, the process of grooming a special assistant for them began. It often took ten to twenty years for the successor to take over. Additionally, it was also challenging to find suitable assistant candidates. To meet the criteria, they had to be exceptionally talented and loyal.“I understand.”Mr. Gordon promptly left the room.He did not stay long and was meeting a man; one would assume he was just going to meet a friend.He did not draw any attention to himself.Once Mr. Gordon had left Wiltspoon Hotel, Belinda’s bod
Belinda furrowed her brows and finally answered Celine’s call.“Mom…”As soon as the call connected, Celine cried out.“What happened, Cece? Who’s bothering you? Tell Mom, and when I get back, I’ll take care of it for you.”Despite her frown, Belinda’s words were filled with affection, as if nothing in the world could harm her adopted daughter with her protection.“Mom, when are you coming back? While you’ve been away, I’ve been tormented by Caroline. She bullies me and constantly infuriates me. She’s wicked. Every time she harms me, she puts on an innocent act.“Not to mention me, even Dad can’t eat or sleep well because of her. He’s lost weight because of her. I feel so sorry for him.“She’s also sowing discord between my brothers and their wives. She made them argue every day to the point where Emma asked Adrian for a divorce.”Belinda sighed. “Does Caroline have that much influence? She’s just a klutz. If she had that kind of ability to drive all of you crazy, I wouldn’t ha
After listening to Celine’s complaints, Belinda responded, “Cece, did you intentionally crash into Caroline’s car? Her car is new, and it’s a luxury car. I specially bought her that luxury car to appease her. You damaged it and refused to pay for the repairs. She froze your bank account, and that’s entirely warranted.“You always make mistakes and don’t reflect on your own errors. You constantly think that you’re right and everyone else is wrong.“Imagine if you were Caroline—your new car was damaged and the other party refused to pay for the repairs. Wouldn’t you be angry? Knowing your personality, if someone crashed into your car and refused to compensate, you might even feel like tearing down their house.”Belinda silently scolded Celine for not knowing her place. Caroline was her biological daughter and the heir to the Fisher family. She had the authority to freeze anyone’s bank account in the family and even reduce their allowance.Of course, as Belinda was still the head of t
Even though he harbored a great deal of dissatisfaction, Hunter never dared to deceive his wife ever since that incident.Luckily, his children were rather understanding and would secretly give him some money to spend, so he could live relatively comfortably.His children’s filial piety was something that Belinda did not interfere with. Of course, if he dared to flirt behind her back, Belinda would not be lenient with him.Belinda had warned him before that if he had the guts to have affairs, she would ruin him.Hunter believed that his wife could put her words into action.For decades, no matter how many attractive women tried to get close to him, he dared not make a single move.“It’s not a matter of having money or not, it’s a matter of who’s right and who’s wrong,” Belinda said seriously.Celine ceased her complaints.After a while, she continued. “Mom, even if I was at fault, Caroline shouldn’t freeze my bank account. Who gave her the right? She hasn’t become the head of
“You’ve rented out all the properties under your name, and the shops are also on lease. The monthly rent amounts to tens of thousands, which is more than the annual income of many ordinary people. Cece, you’re already doing better than many.”Celine, feeling wronged, asked, “Mom, are you blaming me for spending money?”“That’s not what I mean. I’m just telling you that you’re ahead of thousands of others, better off than most.“Alright, don’t be upset. I will be back in a couple of days, and when I return, I’ll unfreeze your bank account. I’ll also give Caroline a piece of my mind for you. However, since you damaged Caroline’s car, it’s better to compensate her. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to help you. After all, she is my biological daughter.”Celine reluctantly replied, “I’ll pay for the repairs, and when you’re back, you can comfort my wounded soul.”Belinda chuckled. “Good, I will bring you some gifts when I return, just for you. Cece, my feelings for you run deep. You’
