Doc explained on Patrick’s behalf the real reasons he had been unable to avenge Tiara for the past few decades. Patrick was agitated as his tears streamed down his face out of guilt toward his matriarch and he began to cough violently.Doc hurriedly took out the medication he took with him everywhere, shook two pills out of the bottle, and made Patrick swallow them as he said, “Don’t get so excited, Patrick. We haven’t even gotten to meet your little miss Audrey yet.”The others also kept comforting Patrick and told him not to get overly excited. Once he took the pills and had some water, Patrick calmed down. Clive was very nervous too, worried about the old man’s health.He had never met Doc before but knew of his abilities and how Dr. Carden was his eldest disciple. Dr. Carden had helped Camryn recover her eyesight and Doc was pretty much the Johnsons’ in-law, while the Stones were also in-laws with the Johnsons. Due to this convoluted form of kinship, they could not be neglectful
The two of them were on the call, but Zachary said he was not talking to Clive. Guessing that Zachary was dealing with Sonny at the moment, Clive good-naturedly did not lose his temper.“You can talk now,” Zachary finally said to Clive. If Clive had not known that his cousin was still sleeping at this hour, he would not have called Zachary. Just listen to his tone—as if he was reporting to Zachary.Holding back his temper, Clive said, “The legendary doctor has brought my grandmother’s assistant with him to visit with a few other old men. They might be the men who dominated the scene back then. Tell Seren about this and if you can make it, come over with her.”“Legendary doctor?” Zachary frowned. “Are you sure?”“No, I’m not. I asked Remy to come over to confirm because he’s seen him before, but I don’t think they would lie. I don’t think anyone would easily dare to impersonate them. Their disciples’ network spans the whole world.”Silver specialized in intelligence. His disciple h
Zachary laughed. “Alright, as long as you don’t compete with your Aunt Ser for favor, you’ll actually feel really happy because there are so many people who love you. Hurry up and go wash up. When you’re done, bring your bag downstairs and eat something. Later, the driver will send you to preschool. Aunt Ser and Uncle Zak have something to do, so we can’t send you.”Sonny pouted once more but ultimately did not say anything and silently went off to wash up.Zachary returned to the master bedroom and woke Serenity to tell her about Doc appearing with Patrick. Serenity immediately got changed and freshened up as fast as she could, before rushing downstairs and dragging her husband with her.At the Stones’ residence, Clive had just woken his parents up. After learning that Dr. Carden’s teacher was among the ancients visiting, Audrey immediately made to go downstairs but was stopped by her husband.“Audrey, you haven’t changed yet. Since they’ve come here, they can wait downstairs. You
Audrey called Patrick “Uncle True”, so her sister Lisa followed suit. They were the only ones who called him that, and every time, he would respond with a smile. In Audrey’s blurry memories, her parents and Uncle True were always very busy and her mother was not in good health, so she often delegated to Belinda.Now that Audrey thought about it, it was likely Belinda’s desire to seize power arose from Tiara’s bad health and constant need for Belinda’s help in managing the company and family matters. Belinda must have felt indignant that despite doing so much for them, everyone was still in favor of Tiara, so Belinda wanted to take Tiara’s place, thinking that only by becoming the matriarch would everyone favor her completely.When Audrey called Patrick “Uncle True”, he responded with a tearful exclamation. Neither had a strong impression of the other anymore, but Audrey had taken very good care of herself and looked like both her parents. When Patrick looked at her, he felt like he c
Last year, Patrick was at death's door again. He did his best to calm himself. He nodded at his friends before saying to Audrey, “Missy Drey, I’ll do my best to stay alive until you guys have avenged Ms. Tiara and punished Ms. Belinda. I wouldn’t be able to rest in peace otherwise. I’m useless. It’s been so many years, but I still wasn’t able to avenge Ms. Tiara or find you and your sister.”If he had managed to find news of Audrey and Lisa earlier, Lisa might not have died young. He had failed to protect Tiara and even her two daughters. He felt guilty toward Tiara. Having undergone special training before going to Tiara’s side and doing many things for her, he had failed to carry out the last two most important duties. He was too ashamed to meet Tiara in the afterlife.The camp where he was trained immediately arranged for a new assistant for Belinda when she succeeded the matriarchy after Tiara’s death, who then took over the network he used before. The network he built himself, h
Before Lisa’s grave, Audrey cried her heart out, but nothing she could do would revive her sister. All she could do was shower an abundance of love on her two nieces. After the sisters’ miserable childhood and subsequent separation, as well as learning the truth behind her family’s deaths, Audrey hated Belinda with her whole being.Patrick said with resentment, “One should not do something they don’t want others to know about. She will pay for what she did.”“That’s right, Uncle True. She’ll pay for what she did.”“It’s just that I’m useless. I don’t have a lot of proof. All I have is this bit of evidence and it’s not going to be enough to prove she did it, also because anyone who could be a witness is already dead,” Patrick said, blaming himself so much that he started crying again.Audrey said coldly, “I don’t care if there’s no proof. I will take back control of the Fisher family. I might not become the matriarch myself, but I can make my niece one. No matter how much she does o
“Lisa’s eldest daughter went to Jensburg, Uncle True. She’s growing her business there. You won’t be able to see her for now,” said Audrey gently. She knew why Patrick was staring at Elisa. He was probably worried that none of Tiara’s descendants could become the matriarch of the Fisher family. Patrick was loyal. He thought the Fisher family belonged to Tiara’s bloodline. Although Belinda had been the matriarch for over forty years, he had never acknowledged her. On the other hand, Belinda did not want Patrick alive. She had always felt a sense of wrongness being the matriarch as long as he was alive. The curtain fell only with Patrick and her sisters dead. It would also be a boost of confidence. “Seren is on her way here. You’ll be able to see her soon.“Seren takes after her dad, while Liberty takes after Lisa. Liberty’s son looks like a mini Lisa. If Sonny wears a dress and has pigtails, he’ll look exactly like her.”Audrey was unable to find Liberty and Serenity bec
The York men were the same as the men in his son-in-law’s family. No wonder the Yorks and the Johnsons had a good relationship. “Doc.”Zachary greeted the legendary doctor politely as well. Doc nodded back. Next, he introduced his friends to Zachary and Serenity. Then, he pointed at Patrick and told Serenity, “Patrick is the person you all have been looking for, Mrs. York. Your aunt calls him Uncle True.”“Please call me Serenity, Doc.”She looked toward Patrick and said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Patrick.”Patrick and Serenity had never met each other, so they did not share the same excitement as Audrey. Patrick nodded with a smile and said, “You must be Serenity.”Audrey was right. Serenity did not take after Lisa. They might have looked slightly alike at first glance, but one could tell they did not look similar upon a closer look. It seemed like Serenity had inherited her features from the Hunt family. “I’m Serenity. My sister, Liberty, is currently in Je
