Chapter 3477

Author: Gu Lingfei
Austin said, “Even if Louis grows up, he might not be capable enough to take over. Although you’re a woman, you’re still in the O’Connor family. Why does gender matter when you’re already competent enough?”

The York family never had such thoughts.

His nana had said that if all of them were capable, the eldest would be chosen as the successor. If the eldest were incompetent, she would choose the most competent one to take over. The heir did not always have to be the eldest son or grandson. Competency was valued above anything else.

If a daughter were capable enough to be the successor and willing to accept the responsibility, she would be more than welcome to do so.

Of course, no one would force her if she did not want to take over.

Based on how much the York elders yearned for a baby girl, Austin thought that even if he were to have a niece or daughter in the future, they would not let her be the heir. They knew being the head of the family was exhausting and would not bear to

    Only a handful of people knew about the younger lads of the Yorks. For example, no one in Rowan’s school knew he came from the York family and hardly anyone in high society had met him either. Grandma May had always protected their privacy before they were of age to join the workforce. She would not let any external factors disturb their lives. She would only start taking them to banquets if they did not want to further their studies and wished to work. At those banquets, they would introduce themselves to everyone as young masters of the Yorks. Whether they could leave an impression on the masses depended on their capabilities and influence in Wiltspoon. If the York brothers wished to work their way up, Grandma May would not take them to banquets and allow them to climb the social ladder themselves. Upon hearing Austin’s words, Isabella was excited. “It seems like there are many business opportunities in Wiltspoon.”“It depends on the industry. Business has been slow for

    “Admiration might be the young buds of love.”Tania encouraged her son, “Treat her well and cook good food for her. Once you capture her stomach, she won’t be able to leave you, and you’ll succeed in courting her. “I don’t know how your nana chose such a picky girl for you.“I think all the candidates your nana has chosen for you boys are food lovers because she’s a food lover herself,” said Tania resignedly. Serenity, Camryn, and Hayden were food connoisseurs. Since Dylan had given up on the girl Grandma May had chosen for him, they did not know whether the mysterious girl he liked would also be a food lover. If all the York brothers married women who enjoyed eating, it would be a food haven whenever they gathered for special occasions. Tania could not help but laugh upon imagining a scene where the gourmands were gathered together. The food lovers were skilled at cooking as well. Camryn was an exception because she was blind previously and could not cook. Although she h

    After a moment of silence, Austin said, “How would you have your daughter-in-law if Isabella was born into our family? If you feel bad for her, you can shower her with love after she joins the family and treat her as your daughter, just like what you’re doing with Serenity.”Austin felt his parents loved Serenity as if she were their biological daughter. Even if they did not interact much or lived with Serenity, they still got along well with her whenever she and Zachary visited them at the manor. There had been no conflicts between Tania and Serenity at all.Austin thought his parents were great in-laws. They never interfered with their son and daughter-in-law’s lives, nor would they badmouth their daughter-in-law in front of their son. They were also good at keeping their distance when needed. That was a good thing. Tania said, “I only have you and Zachary. I have no hopes of getting a daughter, and I don’t even know if I’ll get a granddaughter. Since I have two daughters-in-

    Austin was not stupid. He caught on right away. He said, “Zachary hid my information. That was why Isabella couldn’t get much out of her two investigations on me.”Tania asked, “Do we have to keep a secret for you when we go over?”Austin rejected her offer without hesitation. He answered, “You don’t have to hide or reveal my identity purposely. If she finds out, then so be it. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t find out either. The cat will be out of the bag sooner or later anyway.”“Okay.”“You mentioned that there are important guests in the manor earlier.”Tania told Austin all about Doc and his fellow masters. Austin felt sad after Tania’s update. “It’s too bad I’m on a business trip with Isabella and can’t rush back. Please put in good words for me with the elders so they have a good impression of me.”Tania smiled. “They know my sons are outstanding. They know your grandparents too. Although they don’t have a close relationship with us and are old, they were willing to hav

    “Let them be, then. They’ll only be able to enjoy themselves this much today.”The old-timers would be leaving Wiltspoon tomorrow. Doc would head to FC Manor to spend the holidays with his disciple, while Patrick would remain with the Stones. On the other hand, Silver and the rest would return to their homes. After being away from home for a few days, they still concluded that nothing could beat the comfort of home. They wanted to go back. Since the year was ending, their disciples would be rushing back from different places.Although the ancients were not as lucky as Grandma May, who had many children and grandchildren, they had many disciples. When all their disciples were gathered, the atmosphere in their house would get even livelier than it had been in Wildridge Manor. Tania got up and walked out of the house. She had to welcome Audrey. When she reached the door, she saw Audrey exiting the car. “Audrey,” Tania called out. Although they had not interacted much i

    Audrey and Tania were seated in the living room. Audrey asked, “Is Sonny with Old Mrs. York now?”“Yes. He’s attached to her like an accessory now. She brings him along everywhere she goes.“Seren has gone back to the office today as well. She said she had some important matters to attend to. After everything is settled, she and Sonny will head to FC Manor with Doc tomorrow.”Suddenly, Tania looked around before whispering, “Did something happen in Jensburg, Audrey?”Audrey maintained her expression. “Where did that question come from?“What happened in Jensburg? I didn’t see anything in the news.”She tried acting clueless. Tania glared at her and said, “You can fool youngsters like Seren, Audrey, but you don’t have to hide anything from me. Although I’m not as capable as you are, I’m still in charge of the York family’s internal affairs. I have my connections.“I can obtain information on anything I want to know.“Although I didn’t look into it, I find it weird that Zack

    Audrey could hear that Tania was being defensive. She was not criticizing Serenity. She simply stated that Serenity was still young and less experienced than Tania was. However, Tania immediately started defending Serenity. Audrey was glad that Serenity had such a protective and reasonable mother-in-law. When Audrey first joined the Stone family, her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her and constantly picked on her. Those days had been tough. However, her husband treated her well, and her father-in-law was reasonable and took her side. Not only that, she showcased her capability through managing Stone Group and got pregnant shortly after her marriage. If those things did not happen, she would not have been able to endure being in the Stone family.Thinking back, Audrey suspected Darrell was eager to have a baby back then to bind her to him. He might have feared that she would request a divorce because she could not stand her mother-in-law being overcritical.Luckily, her mot

    “Liberty is doing well and safe in Jensburg for now. I’ll be going over with Uncle True tomorrow.”Tania asked, “Are you two going to reveal the truth?”After a moment of silence, Audrey said, “Yes. It’s time to settle the score. Madam Fisher killed my parents and grandparents. She also killed Aunt Alivia. She should pay for her sins.“Regaining control of the Fisher family isn’t a necessity, but we must make her pay and be punished.”The moment she, Uncle True, and the old-timers arrived in Jensburg would be the start of Belinda’s downfall.Audrey would bring reporters with her. She would expose Belinda’s cruel and ungrateful side. Belinda could even kill the sister who had raised her. She deserved to die. “Didn’t the masters say they were leaving tomorrow?”Audrey replied, “They are. Aside from Doc, who’ll remain in FC Manor, the rest will detour to Jensburg.”They wanted to create a fake impression that the masters had left. Tania asked, “Are you confident you’ll win?”

    Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

    After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

    Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

    Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

    Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

    The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa

    The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her

    Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre

    Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc
