Caroline generously said, “Just change your tune in front of my mom. She’s still furious.”Saying so, she walked outside, the servant trailing behind her.As they walked, the servant asked, “If I may ask, what happened between Mr. Clark and Celine last night? It angered the madam, who drove Celine out, and Mr. Clark was taken to the hospital. Did Celine hurt Mr. Clark?”The servant had not been working at the Fisher household for a long time, having started after Belinda became the head of the family. If Celine had harmed Hunter, it was certain the Madam would be furious.“My mom doesn’t want you to know about these things. Don’t ask. Knowing too much won’t do you any good. I'm doing this for your own good.”She smiled awkwardly and replied, “Thank you for the warning. Please go for your run. I’ll head to the kitchen to check on breakfast. I assure you that once you’re back from the run, you’ll have a hot breakfast waiting for you.She stopped at the door, watching Caroline walk
No matter past, present, or future, Hayden had always seen himself above others and was never interested in anyone. Oh, he only liked men.Now Hayden and Kevin could be described as a pair.On occasions when Kevin was present, Hayden was often seen together, and vice versa. Losing Hayden to a man left many young and beautiful daughters of wealthy families discontented, but they were helpless.“Why is it like this?” Celine murmured to herself.Last night, she was still a Fisher, and today she was abandoned by the family.Her mother did not want her.She also could not face her parents.Should Celine go back to find her biological parents? Her biological father was still in prison, and her biological mother...Whenever Celine thought of the disgrace of her original family, she did not want to return.Even if her biological mother loved her dearly, she did not want to go back. Her original family could not bring her any benefits; they only wanted to take advantage of her.Now
“What isn’t yours will never belong to you. Your wealthy life of more than two decades has been stolen time. You’ll become poor and live a life worse than animals from now on. Get lost and go back to your countryside.“How dare you say Carol’s a country bumpkin. You’re the true country bumpkin.”Emma, Ava, and Ellie’s resentment toward Celine was off the charts. They became mean to her now that Celine’s life had become miserable. Celine sat still. “I won’t leave. I’m not going. I want to wait for Mom to return and explain everything to her. I didn’t intend to do that. I was set up. I’ll get my revenge on the person who did this to me.”She glared at her sisters-in-law and asked, “Were you guys behind it?”Emma slapped Celine across the face hard. “A fake daughter like you isn’t worth me dirtying my hands over. How dare you blame others when you’re the one depraved and shameless. Let me tell you this, bitch. No matter how you defend yourself, what happened last night has alrea
After standing up with Adrian’s help, Celine flung herself into his embrace and cried. What did she do wrong?Why did they treat her as such?She was also a victim. Adrian hugged her and said, “Don’t cry. You should leave before they make things worse for you. They resent you a lot. They’ll bully you badly once they have the chance.”Celine's choice to defend her brothers had greatly offended her sisters-in-law. Although Celine was a woman, she was also her brothers’ younger sister. Whose side would she take if not her brothers’? How many people in her position would choose to stand with their sisters-in-law?The reason Caroline helped the ladies was not purely out of righteousness. It was also due to the lack of the siblingship bond between her and her brothers. “I’m not leaving, Adrian. I want to wait until Mom comes back. I’ll explain everything to her. I really don’t know how it happened. I’m a victim. Someone’s definitely behind this. Many people attended the banquet,
“I lost everything. I’m penniless. Where can I go?”Adrian still had brotherly love for Celine. He opened his wallet and gave Celine all the cash he had. He also took a bank card and handed it to her, saying, “I can only give you this much. The PIN is my birth date. There’s not much money inside, but it’ll be enough for you to hang on for now.“Go find a hotel to stay and tend to your wounds. I’ll make arrangements for you and explain things to Mom a few days later when she’s no longer angry.”Celine accepted the money and card. She cried, “Thank you, Adrian. You’re the best.”Adrian sighed. “Leave quickly. Otherwise, you’ll truly be penniless once they discover I’ve given you money and snatch it back.”Celine nodded in tears. She knew that her sisters-in-law would only treat her worse and humiliate her if she stayed any longer. Not only them but the gazes of all the servants and Caroline’s haughtiness also hurt her heart. “Adrian Clark!” Emma yelled. She rushed over and s
Jane and her family would be taking a private plane back to Annenburg in the evening. As the person in charge of FC & Co., Ben was busy. “I slept late and am still feeling tired now. I’m okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll get more sleep.”Liberty was feeling down, and her head hurt. After reassuring Serenity and telling her not to worry, Liberty was going to continue resting. “Let me know immediately if anything happens, okay?”“Don’t you trust me? Just be careful during your pregnancy, focus on your work, and help me take care of Sonny. Don’t worry about me. I’ve been through a lot. Go on with your work.”After a moment of silence, Serenity said, “Sonny and I will be waiting for you at home, Liberty.”Liberty smiled. “I’ll finish the task Aunt Audrey gave me as soon as possible and reunite with you all as soon as possible. I’ll surely be back when your baby is born.”She would definitely rush back when her only sister was giving birth. She was her sister’s only family. “I
Besides, Duncan was a good man to Liberty and Sonny. He saw Sonny as his own. Liberty had rejected him and refused to remarry because she did not want to be miserable again. She was worried Sonny would be bullied too. However, Duncan had cleared all obstacles for her sake. The Lewis family eventually accepted Liberty and was looking forward to her getting married to Duncan. She did not have to worry about Sonny getting bullied either. Duncan’s love for Sonny had surpassed that of Hank’s. If Liberty wanted to get married again, Duncan would be her best choice. “Duncan just doesn’t want to hold you back. He wants to make you happy. Just wait for him. I believe he’ll be able to stand up soon.”“I know. That’s why I’m waiting for him. I’ll continue waiting no matter how many years he needs. In the meantime, I’ll work hard to advance my career.”Although she had to rely on the three wealthiest families in Wiltspoon for investments, she had gained a lot out of it. The experience
If Liberty were in danger, the bodyguards would have reported to their bosses without being asked to. “It’s great that you’re okay. I was so scared when I heard about the accident. I’m going to Jensburg later, Liberty. I’ll be arriving before two in the afternoon.”Liberty said, “I’m fine, Duncan. You don’t have to travel for this.”It was inconvenient for Duncan to travel. “I’ll only be reassured if I can make sure you’re okay with my own eyes.”“I’m really fine. You can ask the bodyguards. None of us were hurt. It’s difficult for you to travel long-haul.”Duncan insisted, “But I miss you too. I miss you so much. I want to see you.”Liberty could not say no to that. “Be careful. Don’t push yourself if you’re feeling unwell. We have to take care of ourselves, Duncan. Okay?”Duncan said gently, “I’m not a child. I won’t head out if I’m feeling unwell. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. See you in the afternoon.”“Okay. See you.”Liberty ended the call and sighed. Nevertheless, h
