Chapter 2716

Author: Gu Lingfei
“Tonight, 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.”

All 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 successor’s 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 Liberty’s 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 sister’s lineage.

    “Then, if you need help in the future, make sure to tell Audrey. Even though she doesn’t have complete control in Jensburg, she has a wide network and can help you in many ways. You came this time for business, right?”Liberty said, “Of course, I’m here for business. What else would I be here for? What did Madam Fisher think I was here for?”Liberty questioned Belinda.Belinda laughed. “I thought you came to acknowledge your roots and revert to bearing the Fisher surname.”“As long as Fisher's blood runs through me, I’m a descendant of the Fishers. I don’t 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 won’t be erased.”Belinda fell silent.It seemed that Liberty always spoke with a sharp tongue, just like Audrey.Audrey’s personality and abilities were like Tiara’s. 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, “Mr. Queen is here. Follow me to greet him.”It 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.Hayden’s 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. Should she go upstairs now to change into a formal dress?Maybe it was too

    Celine did not want to go, but if she did not take food upstairs to Hunter while her mother asked in Hayden’s 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 Belinda’s 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

    “Your mom is getting older, busy with work, and her thoughts are all wrapped up in the company and fostering Caroline. She hasn’t paid attention to me. Although I’m also getting older, my health is fine, and I still have some needs. She doesn’t fulfill her duties as a wife and doesn’t even let me have a quickie.”Hunter, perhaps due to the alcohol or frustration with his wife, vented all his dissatisfaction to his daughter.Seeing her father’s painful and angry state, Celine involuntarily sat down to drink and kept him company. She still sympathized with her father.Downstairs, the banquet was lively, but her father had to hide upstairs, unwilling to face people; just because he made the mistakes many men do.The guests downstairs were also uncomfortable, mainly due to the addition of three esteemed guests.They could not grasp why Belinda organized this banquet. The atmosphere lacked liveliness.“Liberty, what kind of business are you planning to invest in?” Belinda asked, see

    The other guests realized that Kevin and Hayden were Liberty’s supporters. They had not heard of Liberty's outstanding capabilities, but the wealthy families behind her were enough. Her sister was the York family’s missus, who had more than enough to invest in Liberty. As long as Liberty had courage and business acumen, she did not have to worry about money. Some competent individuals within the Fisher family, who were subjected to oppression by Belinda, began formulating ideas in their heads.Liberty smiled and said, “I’m interested in any profitable projects. Do you have time tomorrow, Mr. Queen? I can visit you.”Hayden said, “You can come over anytime.”Kevin said, “Hayden, I’ll get jealous if you’re so nice to Liberty. You’ve always said you’re busy and ignored me whenever I went over. On the contrary, you’re available anytime for Liberty.”That earned him a side-eye from Hayden. “Liberty and I have good chemistry.”Caroline smiled. “I think Liberty and I get along too.

    Adrian helped his wife to get up. Emma grabbed his hand and frantically said, “Adrian, go check on Dad and Celine. They… They…“I can’t say it. You all will know when you see it for yourselves.”Upon hearing her words, Adrian immediately ran upstairs, thinking his dad and Celine had gotten hurt. His brothers and Caroline were right behind him, and in the end, Belinda decided to go upstairs too. Liberty, Kevin, and Hayden, who were about to leave, stayed and looked up. They did not know what had happened that could shock even Emma. “What happened to Dad and Celine, Emma?”Ava and Ellie approached Emma and asked out of concern and curiosity. Emma blushed. She stammered for a while before whispering something in their ears that changed their expressions. The next moment, Ava and Ellie were rushing up the stairs—they could not miss a good show. Belinda’s roar of fury could be heard upstairs alongside the sounds of things being hurled and falling. The other Fisher family

    The butler was still clueless about the incident upstairs. However, as the butler, she had to send the guests off when the madam of the house was not around. She replied that she would relay Liberty’s words to Belinda. Liberty got into Hayden’s car while her bodyguards shared a ride with Hayden’s bodyguards. The Fisher family’s bodyguards would drive her car. Kevin was envious of Liberty but he knew it was not the time to get jealous. They had to leave Fisher Manor first. Even a shameless man like he was, who has seen all sorts of things, was shocked by the scene he witnessed upstairs.Never did it occur to him that Celine and Hunter would entangle themselves in sexual activities together. They were still going at it when he was upstairs. When the cars left Fisher Manor, Hayden asked Liberty curiously, “What did you and Kevin see upstairs? Did something happen to Belinda’s husband?”“Something big did happen.”Liberty replied, “I knew today wouldn’t end peacefully, but

    “However, the food Celine brought up was problematic. Who do you think was behind this? Is it Celine? Or Hunter himself? No matter who did it, this was a cruel method.”After speaking, Liberty laughed dryly. “Compared to those people, I’m not vicious or cruel.”If reclaiming the position of matriarch required these methods, she would not be able to do it; she would rather let Caroline have it. Hayden gave it some thought and said, “It couldn’t have been Celine or Hunter, nor could it have been Madam Fisher. They can’t suspect us because we’ve been under Madam Fisher’s watchful eye all along. The other Fishers probably didn’t have the guts to do this.“Caroline’s a possibility. She’s bold enough to do it. However, based on my understanding of her, she’s a righteous person. She won’t use such underhanded methods to compete with Celine. Hunter is her biological father as well. Although they didn’t share a close bond, she won’t go that far.”Liberty nodded. “I don’t think it’s Caroli

    Although Callum had started viewing Dalton as a brother after Dalton got married, he still kept his guard up around Dalton. He only let his guard down a little after Melissa got pregnant.It was also because Dalton treated his wife with utmost sincerity and love. Dalton had nothing to worry about and could focus on his life after knowing Camryn was doing well and had the York family supporting her. Not only that, her husband and in-laws adored her. Camryn would come over to handle more important company matters, while Dalton could deal with smaller ones. He rarely attended business engagements at night and chose to accompany his pregnant wife most of the time. Melissa was kinder to Camryn as well. Although they were not sisters-in-law, they shared a close relationship. “Melissa’s baby probably has a sweet tooth. Tell her to be careful and not eat too many sweet things at once.”Camryn wanted to say that Melissa was probably pregnant with a girl. However, she did not say it ou

    After her call with Leah ended, Camryn put down her phone and leaned against her office chair. She rotated her chair back and forth. She was at Newman Enterprise.At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Dalton entered soon after.“Dal.”Camryn stood up when she saw him. “Are you daydreaming?”Dalton asked softly, “Are you tired? Go and rest if you are. You should return to Wiltspoon soon. I can handle things here.”“Melissa is pregnant. You should spend more time with her.“I’m not really tired. I was on the phone with an employee of my flower shop earlier and thought of some things that made me feel unhappy.”Dalton and Camryn sat on the sofa in the guest lounge. “Why are you upset? Is the flower shop not doing well?”Camryn had put in a lot of effort in Spring Blossoms. It had accompanied her through her tough times. No matter how her identity had changed, it would always have an important place in her heart.Despite becoming rich, she still kept the store up and

    To Louise and Leah, Mrs. Longbottom looked too young.Carrie caressed her stomach. She sighed and said, “I was pregnant before, but it was a high-risk pregnancy and ended up in a miscarriage.“My husband told me to recuperate first before we try for another baby a few years later. We’re still young anyway,” Louise consoled Carrie. She picked two jade plants and two money trees for her. After paying, Carrie got her two bodyguards to carry the plants. Before leaving, she handed Louise and Leah her calling card and said, “Please call me if your boss or Mrs. York comes over. I want to make an appointment with them, but it’s too difficult to do so.”Leah accepted the card. After taking a look at it, one of them replied, “Mrs. York is heavily pregnant, so she rarely drops by. She’s usually resting at home. I can inform you if our boss comes.“You should probably have Ms. Camryn’s number if you wish to make an appointment with her. You can try calling her.”Carrie replied, “I’m not

    Since Carrie was approaching Spring Blossoms, she decided to drop by. It was a pity she could not wreck the store as she was heading there as Mrs. Longbottom.When she arrived, Camryn was not in the store. Only Louise and Leah were there. Carrie asked casually, “Where did your boss go?”“Our boss is very busy. Usually, we’re the ones looking after the store. She only comes by when she’s free. Are you looking for her, Mrs. Longbottom?”Louise and Leah recognized Mrs. Longbottom. “No. Your boss is always around whenever I’m here to buy flowers, so I’m just curious since she isn’t here today. Get me two jade plants. The ones I have aren’t growing well. I want to change them,” said Carrie. She really had jade plants at her villa and she was the one who bought them. In fact, they were growing well. It symbolized her having great luck with wealth.Indeed, she was doing well financially. Mr. Longbottom had never mistreated her in terms of living standards.Carrie wanted to get

    Tati kept trying to match her with Austin.As soon as Austin left, Tati came in. Isabella could tell, just by the timing, that it had to be related to Austin.If she had not known how loyal Austin was to her, Isabella might have suspected her cousin was being bribed by him.Tati smiled. “I happened to see Austin leaving when I came in. He was very polite to me and his smile was gentle, and the way he looked at me was respectful. But it’s completely different from how he looks at you, Isa.“I noticed it long ago. When he looks at you, there’s light in his eyes, there’s affection, and tenderness. He’s utterly devoted to you, or rather, he dotes on you.”Isabella was quiet.“Isa, the first time I saw Austin, I knew he was no ordinary person, and I thought you two made a great match. You know me, I don’t joke around about these things, but when I saw him, I just couldn’t help it.“I really think you two are perfect for each other. Before, we didn’t know his real identity, so you mig

    Tati hummed in agreement.After her cousin reviewed the documents, Tati said, “Isa, why don’t you try dating? Neither of us has a boyfriend, so outsiders are always thinking they can take control of us through marriage alliances.“You could just date. There’s no need to get married. Or you could even just pretend to date. Make them give up.”Isabella looked up at her cousin, amused. “What? That’s a crazy idea.“I haven’t been in a relationship until now because they all know I’m hard to deal with. They think I don’t even have feelings. If I start dating, they’ll realize I’m just like any other girl who dates and wants to get married. Then, they’ll get even more ideas.”Unless her boyfriend was someone so powerful that no one would dare to touch him. He would have to come from a family strong enough to protect the O'Connor family, and he would need to love only her and not be after her family’s money.Power, status, wealth, and good character were all essential.There were men

    Austin quickly left the CEO’s office. Just as he stepped out, he ran into Tati, who was looking for Isabella.“Ms. Tati,” Austin greeted politely.Tati nodded and waited for Austin to leave before she knocked on the office door and entered.“Austin came early today to cook for you,” Tati said, holding a folder in her hand and opening it as she walked toward Isabelle.She sat down at the desk, handed over the folder, and said, “Isa, this is urgent. Please take a look.”Isabella took the document, glancing through it as she replied, “He comes around this time every day, neither early nor late.”“That Longbottom fellow came by again?” Tati asked.It was only after Mr. Longbottom had directly asked to see Isabella that Tati found out the old lecher had come again.“Yes, but I didn’t meet him. He brought some gifts, claiming they were holiday presents for us. I had them sent back. He’s too ambitious, and he has bad intentions. We’re absolutely on guard against him. Why would we give

    Isabella turned her head to look at Austin.Austin stopped the massage and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you feeling any discomfort? I can work on it. I don't give people massages often, so I don’t have much experience. I'll keep giving you more massages as practice so I'll be able to serve you better.”“It's not that,” Isabella smiled. “It's actually very comfortable. It’s just that I really want to meet your grandmother every time you mention her.”In Isabella's mind, Austin's grandmother had already become something of a legendary figure.Austin thought to himself, ‘Nana’s already met you. You probably met her before, you just didn't know it was her.’His nana had surely spent a lot of time observing Isabella, getting to know her, and confirming that her character and abilities were suitable for him before choosing Isabella for him.“When you’re less busy, if you’re willing, you can come visit us in Wiltspoon. Lots of flowers bloom in spring, and there’s beautiful scenery ever

    When Isabella first took over the family business, many of her grandparents' and parents' friends and relatives openly tried to sabotage her. They played dirty tricks, schemed, and tried various ways to undermine her.They wanted to take advantage of her, and they also did not want her to take control of the family’s legacy. They tried to prevent her from establishing herself in the company, even going as far as to collaborate with outsiders to trap her.She had suffered countless setbacks, faced numerous conspiracies, and even experienced several so-called accidents, nearly losing her life. It was only after all this that she truly understood the treachery of human nature. From that point on, she learned to arm herself with cold indifference.Though she was taking over her own family’s business, it felt like she had to fight through a bloody battle to secure her place, as if she were a king striving to ascend the throne.
