Once the lofty young lady of the Fisher family, Celine had now become a dog of a mourning family, driven away and insulted wherever she went.“Where is she?” Emma asked coldly.“In the backyard, on the swing frame. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but she’s been sitting there for a long time.”After the maid finished speaking, the three missuses of the Fisher family walked angrily toward the backyard.The housekeeper needed to decide whether to inform Adrian or not. After thinking for a moment, she hurried into the house to tell her husband. After considering, the couple decided to call Adrian and inform him, “Mr. Clark, Emma has come with the other two missuses. They came asking about Ms. Celine.“Now they have gone to the backyard to find her. We don’t know if they will cause trouble. Mr. Clark, please come back quickly.”Hearing this, Adrian frowned. “How did she find out? I’ll come back immediately.”Emma despised Celine intensely, and their bonds from the past had long dis
“You are not my husband’s biological sister, no blood relation at all. My husband brought you here to live without even informing me. What is it if not keeping a mistress in a splendid abode? This villa was bought by my mother-in-law for us as our new home. My name is also on the title deed, and I have the right to be informed.“If there’s nothing between you two, why didn’t Adrian tell me? Sneaking around like this implies that there’s something fishy between you two.”Emma took advantage of Celine’s reluctance to disclose the main reason for being expelled from Fisher Manor and forcefully accused her.Celine was overwhelmed and could not articulate her defense.Besides crying out that she was innocent and framed, she dared not say more.Her current demeanor, on the contrary, made everyone believe that what Emma had said was true. Suddenly, the looks cast upon Celine were filled with disdain and accusation. Some people mentioned that Celine’s biological father was so wicked—swa
Celine stared at Emma in disbelief, her face full of incredulity.Emma would not elaborate on the matter. After telling Celine, she saw the disbelief on her face. In a good mood, she said to Ava and Ellie, “Come, let’s go in. It’s freezing outside.”As she turned to walk back, she also said to the housekeeper who followed them outside, “In the future, without my consent, don’t let this wretched person live in my home. If Mr. Clark dares to shelter her again, ask him if he can withstand the wrath of his own mother.”Celine slumped on the ground, completely distraught.Not long after, Adrian and his brothers arrived.Adrian saw Celine sitting on the ground, crying and laughing at the same time, with her face swollen and marked with palm imprints. There were bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, disheveled hair, and poorly dressed with lips turning purple from the cold. She was an utter mess.Adrian felt sorry for her.“Cece.”The three brothers walked over quickly.The onlook
“Darling, I, I did it out of the twenty-plus years of sibling affection. Seeing that she had nowhere to stay and was penniless, I took her in. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask her to leave.”Adrian was still afraid his wife would report to his mother.Ever since Emma found out about his affair, Celine had still helped him, but Emma had developed an intense hatred for Celine. Now that Celine had fallen to such depths, it would be strange if Emma did not take the opportunity to get back at her. He could not blame it entirely on his wife either; that half bottle of wine was brought to his father by himself.Emma coldly stated, “Kick her out now and cut all ties with her. She’s not your sister. Your sister is Caroline. This despicable person’s biological father was the one who caused the separation between you and Caroline for over twenty years. You should hate their entire family.“Think about the unfair treatment Caroline received in their house, think about how they treated Caroli
Liberty asked vigilantly, “Are they monitoring my whereabouts?”She had only come to inspect the factory, and she would not stay for long. Yet, someone from the Fisher family had found her here. It seemed like she was keeping an eye on the Fisher family, and they were doing the same to her. Well, it made sense. Her sole purpose in coming to Jensburg was to investigate the true cause of her grandparents’ deaths and reclaim the leadership of the Fisher family.It was a heavy responsibility entrusted to her by her aunt.Soon, Liberty understood. Being watched was normal. If she was not being monitored, then that would be odd.“I’ll go out and see who they are.”Liberty speculated that it might be the wives of those who had attended the Fisher family banquet that night.Many of the family members had gone to the banquet and Jim was there too with Liberty. If these two were among the guests, Jim would have an impression of them.Liberty went out with her bodyguards.A car was parked
“Are you two with Stan and Sebastian?” Liberty asked.The two women observed Liberty’s reaction. After mentioning their husbands’ identities, they noticed Liberty’s silence and understood that Liberty remembered their husbands.The woman in the passenger seat quickly answered in a low voice, “I am Cindy, and Judy.”Liberty nodded toward both of them and asked gently, “When you came out, were you followed by anyone?”“No, we have someone helping with the aftermath behind us. Ms. Liberty, you don’t need to worry.”Liberty smiled. “I’m not worried or afraid. I’m concerned that you might be discovered. If news of your visit reaches Madam Fisher, it could be detrimental to you.”Liberty came here specifically for the Fishers, and it was normal for her to interact with members of the Fishers. However, if these two were found out by Belinda, they might face consequences. It was not her fault if the Fisher members sought her out, but they had to consider the repercussions.The two wom
Fortress Hotel had a high level of security, providing a more relaxed environment for private conversations.Liberty agreed and told the two ladies, “Please wait for a moment. I’ll make a call to book a room.”Liberty walked away and dialed Kevin’s number. She inquired, “Which is the most secure room in Fortress Hotel? I’d like to borrow it for a while. It should be free from eavesdropping, and unauthorized individuals won’t have access.”Without hesitation, Kevin responded, “The presidential suite on the top floor. I’m currently staying there. If you need it, feel free to use it."“Great. Two ladies from the Fisher family will be arriving first. Arrange for reliable individuals to discreetly take them upstairs, avoiding surveillance cameras. Make sure they’re not caught on tape.”Kevin assured Liberty. “You can count on me. I’ll handle it. When they’re close to the hotel, have them call the number I provide.”Kevin then shared a mobile number with Liberty.“Use this number when
A few minutes later.“Liberty.”Kevin was still waiting in the suite when Liberty arrived, and he promptly opened the door for her.“Thanks, Kevin.”“I’ve already said it just now, Liberty, you don’t have to be so courteous with me. You take your time chatting. I’ll go do some work.”Kevin came out of the room to let Liberty in. He instructed his bodyguards, including Jim, “Stay here and don’t let anyone get close. Even though the top floor is restricted, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”Although the top floor was restricted to unauthorized personnel, it was better to remain cautious.Jim and the bodyguards respectfully acknowledged his instructions. Kevin left once he finished briefing them.When Liberty entered, the two ladies were already sitting on the sofa, each with a cup of water in front of them. The coffee table was adorned with snacks and fruits for their hospitality.“Ms. Liberty.”Seeing Liberty come in, the two women stood up from the sofa. Immediately, they
