“As for her personal bank card, I have no means to freeze it. Couldn’t she spend her own money though? Recently, she’s been swiping the credit card you gave her quite recklessly, so I decided to take some action.”“Her personal savings aren’t that much.”Caroline laughed, “Not that much? With a net worth of ten million, do you think everyone is a millionaire? There are people who will never earn that much in their lifetime, and is she still not satisfied? Did she ask you to compensate her when you get back?“She intentionally hit my car. I’ve asked people at the car dealership, and they said it will cost tens of thousands to repair. If I don’t ask her to pay up, then who should I ask? She said it shouldn’t matter as we’re sisters. Is she really my sister? Does she have Fisher's blood coursing through her veins? If she has, then I won’t ask for compensation. But does she really?”Belinda fell into silence.“All those properties and commercial lots belong to her. When they’re rented
After setting down her phone, Belinda smiled with satisfaction and said, “She’s ruthless.”She was relieved, her biological daughter was a qualified successor.With Caroline’s ruthlessness and determination, Belinda had complete confidence in entrusting the Fisher family to her hands.Audrey might be thinking about bringing Liberty into the picture, but can she even compete with Caroline?Liberty was a single mother running a breakfast shop and a restaurant. She already had her hands full with managing her businesses in Wiltspoon and probably did not have the time nor energy to contest Caroline for the position of Fisher’s matriarch in Jensburg.With these thoughts, Belinda’s worries eased slightly.Of course, she still needed to figure out a way to tie up loose ends. If only the descendants of her elder sister were all eliminated, then the head of the Fisher family could be inherited by her bloodline.Although it was challenging, Belinda believed that over time, she would find
Caroline nodded and said, “I’d like to have some ice cream. Check if you can get me a cup of it on your way here. Any brand will do as long as it’s in a cup.”That way, it would not be messy to eat.She had always preferred to eat ice cream from a cup.Under normal circumstances, Mr. Fletcher would advise her against consuming something full of sugar, but given her bad mood tonight, a little sweet pick-me-up would not hurt and he gently obeyed her request.Caroline ended the call only after she got his response. She placed her phone on the desk and stood up to walk over to the window.The Fisher Enterprise office building was not as tall as Queen Enterprise, but it still had a few extra floors compared to the surrounding buildings. Caroline’s office was just one level below the top floor. Standing by the window in her office, she had a commanding view of the nearby structures.Jensburg was a bustling city, especially at night when the streets were crowded and illuminated by v
Caroline let others leave because most of the work she had to handle during overtime was related to her own company, and her secretary at Fisher Enterprise could not assist her with it.It was quiet outside.While some departments in the company were still working late, the floor her office was on seemed deserted.She left her office, walked through the open-plan office area, and headed for the elevator.At the elevator bay, she noticed a man leaning against the wall, holding a bouquet of flowers. When he saw her approaching, he smiled.Caroline had seen him somewhere.He was the guy Hunter introduced to her as a potential romantic partner. He was a wealthy heir named Marcus Wright.When Caroline's father was trying to arrange a marriage for her, she had her secretary, Mr. Fletcher investigate Marcus thoroughly and uncover his womanizing lifestyle.It was incredible that Hunter introduced her to Marcus, someone who only knew a life of debauchery.Belinda was on her side to ref
“Don’t do this, Caroline. I fell in love with you at first sight. We can talk this out.”Marcus’s gaze fell on the neckline of Caroline’s shirt. The woman might have grown up in the countryside, but it did not stop her from becoming a beauty. She also exuded an elegant aura, as expected of a daughter of the Fisher family. Her nobility did not vanish despite growing up in a different environment. She had a sexy figure too Marcus turned lustful as he continued staring at Caroline. He wanted to pounce on her and have sex. That would probably make her obsessed with him. Upon having such thoughts, he tried caressing Caroline’s face. She caught his hand mid-air and pulled it hard. Marcus lost his balance and fell forward. He opened his arms, wanting to embrace her. Instead, what awaited him was a shoulder throw. The weak-looking Caroline had thrown him, a grown man, over her shoulder. Marcus felt a sharp pain in his waist and arm when he fell on the ground hard. He was also
Marcus would never enter the building again. Although the Fisher family’s riches were tempting, he could not enjoy them. The women in the family were fierce. Mr. Fletcher guessed something must have happened when he saw Marcus fleeing. He was worried and wanted to call Caroline when she walked out of the building. Caroline did not drive because Mr. Fletcher would be giving her a ride. “Ms. Caroline.”The security guards on duty greeted her. Caroline suddenly stopped and looked toward the guards. They were puzzled by her stare. One of them asked, “Did we make a mistake, Ms. Caroline?”“Did you all see the man who ran out just now?”The men exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously. The guard said, “Mr. Clark was the one who brought Mr. Wright in. He said Mr. Wright was his friend and was here for a visit.”However, Mr. Clark had yet to return since he left the company under the excuse of buying something. Caroline’s gaze turned cold. She said sternly, “From now o
Darren wanted to take Caroline on a drive. He never asked where she wanted to go. He simply drove without having a destination in mind. When Caroline finished the ice cream, she said, “My dad set me up with a pervert. I saw Marcus in the lift lobby. He stopped me and tried to make a move on me. I knocked him to the ground with the moves you taught me and kicked him.“I guess he’ll never mess with me again.”Darren was an all-rounder. He was skilled in self-defense too. Although Caroline knew how to fight, she learned it from actual fights and never had proper lessons. Her adoptive parents were terrible to her. They would never fork out money to let her learn martial arts. When Darren was assigned to her, he noticed she had quick reflexes and strength. Therefore, he taught her a few moves. That was why she could throw Marcus over her shoulder and catch him off guard. Darren’s gaze darkened. He said, “You should’ve told me earlier. I would’ve dislocated his arm.”How dare
Darren laughed. “You’re the purpose of my existence.”He admired Caroline’s personality. Despite looking weak, she was more decisive than anyone else. She upheld the right values and drew clear boundaries too. “Madam Fisher was unable to achieve much in Wiltspoon,” said Darren. Caroline sneered. “Does she think Wiltspoon is Jensburg? She can’t even have her own way in Jensburg, let alone Wiltspoon where she’s up against the elite wealthy families. We’re not even a match for Queen Enterprise over here.”Jensburg was different from what it was at the time Belinda had just assumed the role of the matriarch. The Fisher family had gone through a transformation too. While Belinda was ruthless, she slightly lacked business acumen. It was obvious that Fisher Enterprise was going downhill but she could not do anything about it. The internal management of the company was unsatisfactory as well. Perhaps Belinda was old and exhausted. It could also be due to her sons forming cliq
