Hayden glanced at Kevin.Kevin rubbed his nose and smiled. “You cooked well. It’s delicious.”“Then, I’ll shamelessly mooch some of it. I won’t disturb you two anymore. I'll rest up downstairs.”Liberty tactfully made space for the young couple to have their alone time.She had just returned to her room and sat on the sofa without the chance to reply to Duncan’s messages when she heard a knock on the door.“Who is it?” Liberty asked while getting to the door.It was someone from the hotel.Upon seeing the door open, the hotel staff smiled and said, “Ms. Liberty? Here’s a letter for you.”With that, Liberty was handed a letter.She took the envelope and thanked the staff member.Back in the room, she curiously opened the envelope, finding only a small note inside.The content of the note was simple, stating a certain address in Jensburg.Below the address was a sentence: [Ms. Hunt, go alone. I will ensure your safety. Don’t let anyone find out.]The letter was signed by “Fl
Soon, Liberty drove out of the underground parking lot.Following the address Mr. Fletcher provided, she navigated her way there.Duncan called.Liberty slowed down before answering the call.“Duncan, I’m out to buy something. I’m driving now. I’ll call you back when I return.”Duncan acknowledged with a sound and reminded her, “Drive safely.”“I will.”Liberty did not drive like her sister; she was not fond of speeding.Thankfully, they lived in a city where traffic was heavy. Serenity could not speed, so she drove diligently. She would drive like an F1 driver if they were in the suburbs with light traffic. Unfortunately, Zachary had not witnessed Serenity’s driving style, or else he would not have let Serenity behind the wheel.Duncan did not want to disturb Liberty while she was driving. He quickly ended the call.If he knew that Liberty was driving alone in her disguise to meet Caroline, he might worry and rush over on the next flight.Liberty knew he cared about her, so
“Miss, take care of yourself. If anything happens, call me immediately,” Darren advised.Caroline smiled and replied, “I can’t rely on you for everything. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”Even if she encountered an assassination attempt, she had some self-defense skills. Without them, she would not have survived the abuse of her foster mother’s family.After ending the call with Darren, Caroline drove directly to the rendezvous.When she arrived, Liberty was already there. She had not gotten out of her car. Seeing another car approaching, Liberty lowered her car window, watching as Caroline parked the car beside hers.Caroline was the first to take off her sunglasses and then peel off the human mask on her face, revealing her true appearance. Smiling, she greeted Liberty as she got out of her car.Seeing this, Liberty also got out, asking, “How did you know it was me? Weren’t you afraid it might be someone else?”“At this hour, in such a remote place, with no houses around, ev
“What’s your plan? My mom knows you’re here, and she won’t just sit back. Be careful. If there’s anything I know, I’ll tell you. But if I don’t, then I can’t help you.”Liberty suppressed her smile, scrutinizing Caroline seriously for a while before saying, “Caroline, we’ve met, and I believe you’re someone with a sense of justice. Your values aren’t skewed. However, that’s your mother, your biological mom. You share a mother-daughter bond, and you won’t be on opposing sides.”Caroline’s smile gradually faded. She sighed, “True, we’re mother and daughter by blood. It’s a great pressure for me to stand against her. It takes immense courage. You being cautious of me is normal.“But, Liberty, I genuinely care about you and worry for you. My mom is a ruthless person, truly. It’s not just talk.“If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask again. But if you encounter difficulties that you can’t solve, you can reach out to me. I’ll do my best to help you.“Actually, my mom and I don’
Several decades had passed, and perhaps the law could no longer sentence her mother to death but at least, Caroline could return the position of the matriarch to the descendants of her aunt.She could also leave the Fisher Manor and go back to manage her own company.She preferred living her own life, far away from controversies, grievances, and enmities.Listening to Belinda bring up the past, Caroline believed that her mother did truly heinous deeds back then. It was not just about coveting the power of the head of the family; it might also be because of hatred born from love. Belinda, now seventy years old, had been married to Hunter for decades and they had four children together. However, deep in her heart, there was always that extraordinary man—Tiara’s assistant.“No matter how much is said, I will prove with actions that my mother and I are not the same kind of people.”Liberty looked at her for a long time, smiled, and said, “You look very upright and cool, very beautifu
Liberty remained silent for a moment before saying, “Between spouses, if one cheats, there’ll be a crack. Even if they don’t divorce, they lead a life of semblance without essence. It’s better to separate.“My husband cheated and was abusive. Now, he’s my ex-husband.“Don’t expect them to change. What happened once could happen again. It’s better to part ways. Separation doesn’t mean the end.”Caroline said, “My dad won’t leave, absolutely not. He knows well that divorce means he gets nothing. His relatives won’t benefit from us anymore. Perhaps, whatever they had gained before, might be demanded back.”With Belinda’s cruelty, she could actually do it.“Anyhow, our Fisher family shouldn’t expect tranquility. I always feel there will be big issues.”Liberty did not respond further.Her aunt sent her quickly to Jensburg for development. She knew the recent chaos in the Fisher family, and Belinda did not have much time to focus on her, allowing her the chance to develop and learn m
“She just wore a mask and sunglasses, and changed her hairstyle.”After Caroline finished speaking, Darren said, “Let them quietly follow Liberty, not to monitor, but to familiarize themselves with Liberty’s figure. So even if Liberty dresses up in the future, they can quickly identify her in her disguise.”“Every time I ask her out to chat, I must be responsible for her safety. If anything happens to her on the way to meet me, Serenity and the others will kill me.“Also, when Liberty needs help here in Jensburg, you help her secretly. Just don’t be noticed by my mother and the old man by her side. “The old man was Belinda’s assistant, not Hunter. Darren responded respectfully, “I will. It’s getting late, let’s go back.”Caroline sighed, “I really don’t want to go back. That house doesn’t have the warmth of a home. There are only intrigues, conspiracies, and no good people.”Darren did not know how to answer.What happened to the Fishers’ house was not something a small assist
“Don’t mention it anymore, I truly have never disliked you. Just like when I was as fat as a pig, you never disliked me for that. “Duncan hurriedly said, “You are not ugly, not ugly at all. You weren’t ugly, you looked very cute back then.”“I was ugly, I hated my chubby self when I looked in the mirror.”It was forgivable to be foolish once, but she would not be foolish for the second time. She had to take good care of herself in the future, and never eat recklessly again.Before she lost weight, not only did she have fatty liver, but she also had high uric acid.After losing weight, the uric acid was normal, and the fatty liver was also reversed.“Liberty, you bought some toys for Sonny and new clothes for yourself, but you did not buy me anything,” Duncan changed the topic and became jealous of Sonny.“You have everything you need. Sonny is a child, he grows up fast, and he has to buy new clothes almost every year. Your height is set, and last year’s clothes can still be wor
