“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
Liberty said, “I think the wives are the culprit. I don’t know how they executed their plan. However, this is just our guess. We don’t have to care about who’s behind this. It probably won’t be circulated.”Belinda would not let word get out. She may not have been able to cover things up in time as she was outraged. However, she would take action immediately once she regained a clear mind. Those who had gone upstairs may have run off quickly, but they would not be able to escape. Belinda would know who had gone up with some digging around. Liberty dared to bet that Belinda would look for her first thing tomorrow and tell her not to shush her up. As for the culprit, Belinda would find it out herself. They just had to observe if the three women were divorced or chased out of the family to know the outcome. “Celine will have to leave the Fisher family for good this time,” said Hayden. She hated Celine. It had nothing to do with Celine’s love for Hayden or her constant pes
Liberty’s expressions changed. The first thing that came to her mind was that Belinda orchestrated a car accident to kill her. She had guessed that Belinda would not stay still.The banquet was peaceful, and the food was not poisoned. Therefore, Liberty was worried that her car was tampered with to get her into an accident. That was why she chose to sit in Hayden’s car. The Fisher family would not dare to tamper with Hayden’s car or attack Hayden. Hence, Liberty would be safe if she followed her. Six bodyguards were assigned to her; two each from the Yorks, Stones, and Lewises. Since she had brought them to Jensburg, she had to ensure their safety. Therefore, she had hinted at her bodyguards to lie that they had drunk alcohol and were unfit to drive. In the end, all of them squeezed into one vehicle with Hayden’s bodyguards while their cars were being driven back to the hotel by the few Fishers’ bodyguards assigned by their butler.The car that got hit happened to be the on
“Mom, I think this was an accident. Celine wouldn’t seduce Dad,” said Caroline. She was not helping Celine. With these words, Belinda would not suspect her. Of course, she was not the culprit. However, she knew who was behind it all. She was aware of everything her sisters-in-law had done. She simply did not inform Celine and let everything unfold. Even someone dumb would know that Celine or Hunter would never have such intentions. Although Hunter was perverted and had affairs with younger women, he would not touch Celine. After all, he treated her as his daughter. Even if his true daughter had returned to the Fisher family, Hunter still adored Celine the most. On the other hand, he was unable to develop any fatherly love for Caroline and even helped Celine to compete against Caroline. Now that Hunter and Celine were caught having sex by Belinda, things would not end well for them. Belinda shouted with a livid face, “I said, throw Celine out! I never want to see her
Emma asked cautiously, “Are we really doing that? Aren’t we going to wait for Celine to wake up and hear what she has to say?”Belinda glared at her eldest daughter-in-law. “Are my words powerless now? Do what I tell you. Go. Do it right now. If not, pack your things and get lost.”Emma was startled. She quickly replied, “We’ll do it now, Mom. Please don’t be angry. It’s not worth affecting your health.”Emma squinted her eyes at Ava and Ellie, hinting at them to follow her to deal with Celine. The butler arrived upstairs. She dared not make a sound after hearing her boss’s angry voice. After her sisters-in-law left, Caroline spotted the butler.“Calm down, Mom. Have some tea.”Caroline passed a teacup to Belinda. After downing half a cup of tea, Belinda was still as furious as ever. Therefore, Caroline walked toward the butler, Elaine, and asked in a soft voice, “What’s wrong?”“There was a car accident when Ms. Hunt was on her way home, Ms. Caroline. Her car was overturne
“No matter what, I have to meet his family.”“His parents have passed away. He is survived by his younger brother. I’ll contact you when he comes over. My family is a mess now, Liberty. I’ll handle that first, and we can talk next time.”Liberty agreed. Caroline ended the call. “Let me go. I want to meet Mom. I want to meet her. Let me go.”Celine, who had woken up, was dressed appropriately. However, she was being hauled downstairs by two of her sisters-in-law while the other was following them from behind with some clothes. The three Clark brothers dared not utter a word. They simply stared at their father. Hunter’s face was pale. He sat on the ground, having no energy to stand up. His sons had dressed him, yet he still felt as if he was naked in front of them. His mind was blank. He did not know how everything transpired. Looking at Celine being dragged away by his daughters-in-law, he showed fear but still could not say a word. Hunter would not have a good ending h
“Adrian, take me to your mom.”While Hunter felt sorry for Celine, he needed to protect himself first. After snapping back to his senses, he thought of admitting his mistake and explaining the situation to his wife. Adrian and Justin helped Hunter get up and walk out of the room. “Honey.”When Hunter saw Belinda sitting in the study with a stern expression, he immediately broke away from his sons’ hands and walked toward her. He knelt silently and proceeded to slap his mouth continuously. Belinda simply stared at him coldly. The brothers dared not put in any words for their father. They stood aside and watched as their father knelt and slapped himself without any pride left in him. Hunter struck himself hard, and his cheeks soon turned red. There was even a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. Belinda held her icy gaze. It was so emotionless that Hunter’s heart beat nervously when he glanced at her. He knew he would have to face a grave punishment. After s
“Mom, have a good talk with Dad, listen to his explanation, and don’t make decisions that you’ll regret,” Caroline gently advised.Belinda waved her hand, signaling her daughter to leave with her siblings.As Caroline passed by her father, she quietly said, “Dad, properly explain things to Mom. You and Mom have been husband and wife for decades.”Hunter nodded. He wanted to speak but did not know what to say.In critical moments, his biological daughter would still speak up for him due to their blood relationship.After all four children left the study, Belinda walked over and checked if the study door was closed. She opened it once more to look outside making sure none of her children were eavesdropping, before closing the door again.She then locked the door.Belinda turned back and stopped in front of her husband, looking down at him.“Honey, I really don’t understand why something like that happened. I’m sure both Celine and I were set up,” Hunter explained sincerely.Afte
