Whether Liberty contended or not, Belindaโs position will not fall to them.Unless all the females of the Fisher family perished, only then would they have a chance to succeed Belinda.โLook at how warm Caroline is toward Liberty, itโs like theyโre sisters.โEven though they were by right aunt and niece, based on Carolineโs attitude toward Liberty, it genuinely seemed like they were sisters.Liberty also gave face to Caroline, treating her with courtesy.Celineโs jealousy toward Caroline surfaced again. Everything Caroline possessedโpower, status, identityโoriginally belonged to her.Without Caroline, she would still belong in the Fisher family, second only to her mother, capable of controlling everything.Others used to flatter and fawn over her, unlike now where nobody paid attention to her when she walked out.Her close friends had gradually distanced themselves from her due to the change in her status.Celine realized that they had become her friends only because of her st

Jason quickly looked around and whispered, โThere shouldnโt be anyone around to hear us, right?โEven in their own home, they dared not speak loudly.It made Jason feel quite uncomfortable. He was becoming increasingly disenchanted with the rules of the Fisher family.Unlike other families where sons were the successors, daughters took over in the Fisher family.Within the Fisher family, daughters held a higher position than sons. Even though they shared the blood of the Fishers, being born as males meant they would not have the opportunity to take charge of household affairs.โCaroline and the others have gone far. They shouldnโt be able to hear us. Iโm just reminding you three that if you cherish your side chicks, donโt bring it up openly. Donโt let my sisters-in-law find out. Even if Mom wants to favor you, she will still deal with you if their families come to make a fuss.โWould you agree to a divorce then?โAdrian said, โThe women outside are just for fun, not wife materia

Justin urged everyone to enter the house quickly.The four siblings were concerned that Caroline might speak ill of them in front of their mother, so they did not want to chat outside for too long and hurriedly entered the house.After Caroline brought Liberty inside, everyone in the room looked at Liberty, finding her very familiar.Belinda sat in the main seat without moving. The seats beside her were occupied by people of status within the family.โLiberty, youโre here.โBelinda politely said, then instructed the butler, โBring a chair for Ms. Hunt and let her sit.โLiberty scanned the room. When the butler brought a small stool over, she sarcastically said to Belinda, โIf youโre not genuine in hosting a guest, thereโs no need to put on a show. I came from afar, and you deliberately sent someone to wait at Fortress Hotel for a long time, to extend the invitation. Yet, there isnโt even a proper seat. Your hospitality is truly eye-opening.โAfter saying this, Liberty turned and

โLiberty.โCaroline walked over, standing in front of Liberty, and solemnly apologized, โLiberty, my mom is getting old and sometimes acts a bit confused. What she says and does can be a bit excessive. I apologize on behalf of my mom.โLiberty responded, โThis matter has nothing to do with you, Ms. Fisher. If Madam Fisher doesnโt consider me a guest, then thereโs no need for me to stay any longer. Iโll take my leave.โWith that, she led her bodyguards, bypassed Caroline, and headed outside.Belinda was infuriated by Caroline and irritated by Libertyโs assertiveness.ย When she went to visit the Stones in Wiltspoon, Audrey had requested her to allow Liberty to compete with Caroline and to treat Liberty as the legitimate heir of the Fisher family, providing her with the status and treatment befitting the position. Belinda was not willing, knowing that Libertyโs arrival was part of a scheme to secure her position as the successor. So, Belinda intentionally hosted a family banquet and

โTonight, Liberty is not only an honored guest of our family but also an opportunity for everyone to know who she is and what her status is in the family. When you get home, speak well of her to your family members. In the future, when you encounter Liberty, treat her with respect.โAll eyes were on Belinda.She was displeased with Caroline taking matters into her own hands, but she also understood the dynamics of the family. In this family, sooner or later, decisions were made by the heir.Uplifting Liberty to the successorโs position was also a significant test for Caroline.Celine might not have the capability to compete with Caroline, but Liberty did.Belinda considered that if Caroline was willing to raise Libertyโs status and compete fairly, she would comply. If Caroline won, she would legitimately hold the position of matriarch, and there would be no more whispers and backbiting.However, if Caroline lost... the position would return to the elder sisterโs lineage.Belinda

โThen, if you need help in the future, make sure to tell Audrey. Even though she doesnโt have complete control in Jensburg, she has a wide network and can help you in many ways. You came this time for business, right?โLiberty said, โOf course, Iโm here for business. What else would I be here for? What did Madam Fisher think I was here for?โLiberty questioned Belinda.Belinda laughed. โI thought you came to acknowledge your roots and revert to bearing the Fisher surname.โโAs long as Fisher's blood runs through me, Iโm a descendant of the Fishers. I donโt need to acknowledge or revert to any roots as ultimately the fact that I am a descendant of the former head of the Fisher family wonโt be erased.โBelinda fell silent.It seemed that Liberty always spoke with a sharp tongue, just like Audrey.Audreyโs personality and abilities were like Tiaraโs. Liberty was a replica of her sister, which meant that in terms of bloodline, Liberty was indeed the most promising to compete with he

Upon hearing this, Belinda first frowned, then set down her cutleries, stood up, and said to her children, โMr. Queen is here. Follow me to greet him.โIt was not surprising for Belinda that Kevin had arrived.Liberty was associated with the Yorks and Stones.Although Kevin the third young master of the Yorks was intimidating, the influence of the York family in Jensburg was not as strong as the Queen family, which made Belinda more concerned about the Queen family.Haydenโs uninvited arrival was likely at the behest of Kevin to support Liberty, hinting at the Fishers that Liberty was not without influential support, and that was the Queen family.Upon hearing that Hayden had arrived, Celine felt quite nervous. She hurriedly glanced at the clothes she was wearing tonight. Knowing that her mother only invited Liberty over, she did not deliberately change into an evening gown, just wearing casual clothes.ย Should she go upstairs now to change into a formal dress?Maybe it was too
Married at First Sightย ย ย Chapter 2719
Celine did not want to go, but if she did not take food upstairs to Hunter while her mother asked in Haydenโs presence, Hayden would think she was an unfilial daughter.People in Jensburg knew that the Fisher family favored Celine over Caroline, saying the fake heiress was favored over the real successor.If Celine was not filial, she would lose her reputation. Celine hoped to rely on the Fisher family and marry into a prestigious family as a young missus.Therefore, as per Belindaโs order, she prepared food and drinks for Hunter and took them upstairs.When Emma saw Celine going upstairs, she exchanged a glance with her sisters-in-law and carried on as if nothing was wrong, continuing to eat and drink.Liberty noticed the exchange between Emma and Ava and felt they were hiding something, though since it was Celine, she supposed it did not concern her.Liberty conversed casually with Caroline and occasionally exchanged words with Hayden.Hayden was reserved in front of others, wi

Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabellaโs private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austinโs cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louisโs place with his bag. โAustin.โLouis suddenly asked, โDid my sister come back last n

Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austinโs perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancรฉes. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancรฉe. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve

When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, โMs. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.โIโm polite to other women when I need to be. If theyโre unimportant, Iโll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I wonโt cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.โGet some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. Iโll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.โAfter speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancรฉe, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. โMs. Isabella.โIsabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, โThis may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?โIsabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?โSomeone like Austin,โ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, โI like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isnโt as financially well-off as mine, I donโt mind so long as heโs honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.โOf course, itโll be great if we have the same social status. That way, weโll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, weโll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.โโAlthough you can accept someone who isnโt from a similar family backgrou

After a moment of silence, Isabella said, โItโs okay. I know I was forcing it.โThere was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancรฉe was. He was already so protective of his fiancรฉe even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. โYou werenโt forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. Itโs only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.โAustin said gently, โItโs not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancรฉes for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.โTo be honest, we didnโt even know Nana had been choosing fiancรฉes for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us

โYou can drink it now. Itโll turn cold if left aside for longer.โIsabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. โIโm drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what Iโm doing and saying.โIโve had enough ginger ale.โShe did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. โWhich family is your fiancรฉe from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?โIsabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancรฉe that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austinโs fiancรฉe, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austinโs fiancรฉe had done to cat

Austin stared into Isabellaโs eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. โYouโre the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.โAustin added gently, โYou give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but youโre always a nice person in my eyes.โIsabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. โEven my parents are scared and avoid me when Iโm in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

Austin responded, โDonโt worry, Ms. Edith. Iโll take good care of Ms. Isabella.โEdith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousinโs words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austinโs coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, โMs. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?โIsabella rubbed her temples and said, โYes, please. I donโt want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.โAustin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austinโs
