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?”
However, Caroline had saved Liberty’s life. She bore the risk of betraying her mother and informed Liberty about Belinda’s plan, which allowed them to prepare and put their guard up against Belinda’s schemes.Audrey sighed internally. She had never expected things to escalate so quickly. She had hoped Liberty would establish herself in Jensburg first and gain a firm foothold before beginning to challenge Fisher Enterprise and gradually deal with Belinda to reclaim everything that rightfully belonged to them.“She, at least, hasn’t done anything illegal. I think God’s greatest gift to Belinda is a good daughter.”Regardless of whatever Belinda had done, Caroline was innocent. When Tiara met with tragedy, Belinda was still unmarried and naturally had no children. Therefore, Caroline had not known about it, much less involved. She was truly innocent, but because she was Belinda’s daughter, she had been forcefully dragged into the situation.The two madams chatted for a while and when
Tania wore a nonchalant look. “I don’t worry about them.”Audrey remarked, “You and your sisters-in-law have no need for worry. The daughters-in-law Old Mrs. York has picked for you lot are all excellent. I have to get her to pick one for my boy Anthony too.”“That’s very true.” Tania laughed. “My sisters-in-law and I are fortunate, marrying into the York family was simply a blessing. The only hard bit was the nine months of pregnancy. We didn’t even have to worry about caring for the child after they were born because my in-laws raised them so well.”“Tania, stop talking. If you keep this up, I might go crazy from envy.”Tania just laughed again.“I heard Austin went to Satbury to work as a chef. He’s already his own boss. Why go so far just to work as a chef?” Audrey asked curiously.Tania chuckled. “Didn’t I mention earlier that he already has a match too? His nana was the one who chose her. It’s the eldest daughter of the Satbury O’Connors. His nana’s judgment is excellent, b
A car stopped in front of the flower shop.Camryn, who was trimming a large potted plant, looked up at the car. It seemed to belong to Carrie. After Camryn regained her sight, Carrie came back and took her own car. Camryn remembered the license plate number.Carrie drove a BMW 7 Series. It had been a gift for her eighteenth birthday. Camryn recalled that Carrie had proudly flaunted the car keys to her, saying that Camryn would never own a car or be able to drive because Camryn was blind. Carrie’s boastful laughter from back then still echoed in Camryn’s ears whenever she thought about it.Now, Camryn had not just her own car, but several luxury cars. However, the fact remained that she still did not know how to drive. She had considered getting a driver’s license but could not find the time because she was busy with work and wedding preparations. After Christmas, she planned to review her high school subjects and retake her senior year later in the year before taking the university
Carrie accused, “The both of you always treat me like a beggar.”Camryn looked away and continued trimming the flowers, her attitude as cold and indifferent as ever. “You’re perfectly able-bodied. Why don’t you find a job and support yourself? I have the money, but I won’t give it to you.”“Camryn, I have a share in the Newman’s family assets! Don’t you and Trenton dream of keeping it all to yourselves.” Carrie shouted angrily, “Is this how you act as an elder sister? Christmas is approaching, and you won’t even give me some money for the holidays!“Everyone is going on holiday, preparing for Christmas. How am I supposed to find a job now? Even if I did find one, I wouldn’t get paid in time for the holidays. If I don’t get any money, I’ll starve. Hurry up and give me some money—I need it for rent, fuel, Christmas presents, and new clothes for the holidays.”Camryn, still refusing to look at her, replied coldly, “Trenton received a large inheritance from your parents and is quite we
What part of her performance was flawed and exposed her?“How do I not have the grace of a young lady? Are you saying you have it? Camryn, even though you’ve regained your sight, in my eyes, you’re still that blind bitch—blind, blind, blind! I might look like a street thug now, but it’s because you and Trenton forced me into it. You two monopolize the family assets and don’t give me any. Trenton said he would give me ten to twenty thousand a month, but you only let him give me three thousand. I had a minor surgery recently, and Trenton still only increased it to five thousand a month. This small amount of money is hardly useful. It’s gone after just a couple of meals.”Camryn repeated, “You are able-bodied, no illness or pain. You can find a job and support yourself. If you can’t do anything else, you can work as a cleaner like both your aunts to earn some money. There’s nothing wrong with being a cleaner, it’s an honest job. You’d at least make a few thousand a month. If you’re out
“I’m not leaving. If you get them to throw me out, I promise you, I’ll make a commotion in front of your flower shop the entire day and make sure your reputation is ruined. Mine’s gone, but you’re not the same—you’re a York daughter-in-law.“I don’t care if you couldn’t care less—even so, would your in-laws not care about their reputation? Even if they protect you, others will still point fingers behind your back and say you’re unworthy of Callum. If it weren’t for you, I was the one he originally should have married. You stole my happiness.”Camryn chuckled. “If you’re capable of it, go ahead and take back the happiness you think is yours. If you can’t, stop yelling in front of me. Originally? Originally, I was the eldest Newman daughter. And yet, how did you guys treat me? Much of the family assets were originally mine too, but they were taken by your parents anyway, weren’t they?“You and your mother were just wishfully thinking about Callum. In reality, Callum didn’t even rememb
Ever since Belinda passed away, they were worried their cruel sister would cancel their bank cards. Therefore, they withdrew all the remaining money from the accounts from which they received their monthly allowance. Adrian rarely used the money on that particular card of his because it was a meager sum to him. Tens to hundreds of thousands a month was not even enough to buy a high-quality watch. In the past, he would only transfer the money from that card to another account every one or two years. Otherwise, he would withdraw the money and use it to flirt with women; cash could always draw many gorgeous women to him. Not many people could resist someone who could take out bundles of cash. Adrian recalled that he had withdrawn a few million dollars. He kept it all in a safe. When their mother was still alive, they spent money extravagantly. When they switched cars, they would get cars that cost millions and pay for them in full. They also made full payment when buying houses.
Jacob said, “Add one more million to it and make it six. My brother and I will get three million each. We won't do the job if you offer anything less than this.“After all, we’re the ones solving a problem for you guys. The benefits you’ll obtain from this are more than ten times the amount you’re offering us.“Besides, you three are adamant about killing Caroline, not us. We might even go to prison for this.“If we get three million each, we can consider helping you out.”Michael added, “That’s right. We may be poor, but our lives aren’t worth any less. There’s no such thing as wanting us to sacrifice our lives for you without giving us money.”Adrian went to take a fine bottle of wine and poured a glass each for Jacob and Michael. Meanwhile, he took a sip of his juice and told them, “We won’t be drinking alcohol since we have to drive and go to work. This is a precious wine I’ve been keeping. It’s sold for a high price outside.“Help yourselves to it. If you think it’s good,
It could not satisfy their appetites. After all, the Clark brothers were asking them to commit a crime. If they were caught, they had to pay the price and go to jail for several years. Losing their freedom for a few years in exchange for a million dollars was not worth it at all. “Mr. Adrian, we do hate Caroline, but she won’t do anything to us if we remain in the countryside away from Jensburg and avoid offending her.“We can still live a peaceful life. Although we’ll face financial difficulties, we can still afford basic necessities and be free.“You guys are the ones in a rush to eliminate Caroline. Her existence affects your benefits the most. Of course, you can choose to accept reality by resigning from Fisher Enterprise, selling your assets, and leaving Jensburg.“If you flee to the countryside like us, you can enjoy a comfortable life away from Caroline’s control. You won’t have to reward us for doing your bidding and can save that money.”Jacob could accept not gett
Twenty million dollars!It was the Clark brothers’ turn to exchange glances. They did not expect Jacob and Michael to name such a high price. While they could pay that amount, they did not want to hand the money to Jacob and Michael. After all, it was no longer a small sum to them, given their situation. Adrian was nervous that he would have to fork out the money himself. While he had significantly more assets than an ordinary person, most were fixed assets, and he only had a few tens of millions of savings. Therefore, he was unwilling to pay twenty million dollars out of the blue. After exchanging glances, Adrian said, “Twenty million is too much. We don’t have that much. We may be wealthy people to you, but it’s all fake. We aren’t as rich as you think.“You’re aware of the Fishers family rules—only daughters can be the successors. Sons can’t even take on the Fisher surname, let alone inherit the family assets.“When my mom was alive, she would support us financially in
“If the plan fails, we have a backup plan—hit her bodyguards’ car and force her car to stop. That way, you two can take Caroline away and leave the rest up to us.”Adrian was prepared for various scenarios.If the car accident did not succeed, then they would first eliminate Caroline’s bodyguards. Without them, and with Darren on a business trip, they could easily take down Caroline, who did not know how to fight. After kidnapping her, they would kill and cut her to pieces before throwing her into the sea. No one would be able to find her. If Caroline were dead, the inheritance from Belinda would belong to the Clark brothers. They still could not take over Fisher Enterprise and the Fisher family or do anything to Liberty. However, with Caroline dead, there would be no one to teach the new and inexperienced Liberty. Whether Liberty could hold her ground was an unknown variable. After a discussion between Adrian and his brothers, they set two goals. Firstly, they would kill Car
“Caroline will definitely receive retribution for this.”Adrian said with spite, “I shall see how she meets her death. The people in Wiltspoon will kill her sooner or later.“Does she think they’ll treat her well just because she betrayed her family? They despise us. She’s still my parents’ biological daughter. There’s no way she can be spared.”“You’re absolutely right.”The three men kept cursing Caroline throughout their journey. Upon arriving at Adrian’s villa, he parked the car. Jacob and Michael looked around after getting out of the vehicle. They thought Adrian’s place was luxurious. Adrian mentioned it was a small place, but it was already a lavish place to them. It was many times bigger than their house in the countryside. Adrian invited Jacob and Michael into the villa and they followed suit.Jacob whispered to Michael, “The Clark brothers are fighting with Caroline for the inheritance, Michael. They must be up to no good, calling us here.“No matter what request
“Although Caroline is our biological sister, she doesn’t treat us as her brothers. We only recognize Celine as our sister. I really wish we could turn back time.“We shouldn’t have allowed Caroline to return to the Fisher family. Ever since she came back, the family had been declining. Many things had happened. My mom’s dead, and my dad’s crippled. All of these are related to her.“Caroline’s an ungrateful bitch. I can’t believe she sided with the people from Wiltspoon. Even now, she’s constantly in contact with them and giving away Fisher Enterprise.“It should’ve belonged to Celine.”Jacob and Michael stayed quiet. They had known for a long time that their biological sister was not Caroline but Celine, the then-successor of the Fisher family. Therefore, they treated Caroline badly and often abused her.Although Caroline had learned to put up resistance after growing up, she was still bullied by Jacob and Michael.She hated them. She did not know the truth in the past and
The two men were Celine’s biological brothers, Jacob and Michael Dott. Adrian nodded. “That’s good to hear. Grieving is useless. Avenging Celine and seeking justice is more important.”Jacob and Michael remained silent. They could not do much. When their father was still the Fishers’ butler, he received a high salary with excellent benefits; the Dotts were the wealthiest family in their town. Since their family was rich, the brothers never put effort into studying. They spent time with questionable friends and led a life of debauchery. Jacob and Michael only matured after marrying and having kids. However, their father was already in prison. Meanwhile, Caroline, whom they used to abuse, had returned to the Fisher family. Celine had refused to return to the Dott family and simply gave them some money. Jacob and Michael had built houses in their town and furnished them well. The money they used was from Caroline and their parents’ savings. Since then, their financial crisi
In the afternoon, Duncan fetched Liberty from Fisher Enterprise for dinner. Caroline stood at the building entrance, watching Liberty and Duncan leave. She was envious. She missed Darren. Although he was still following her, he could not expose himself before others. She was not used to it. Nevertheless, she had to endure it to lure the Clark brothers into her trap. She thought, ‘Please make your move soon, brothers. Don’t keep me waiting.’At that moment, Adrian and his brothers exited the elevator. They were discussing something as they walked. When they saw Caroline standing at the entrance, they paused for a moment. However, they quickly pretended they did not see her and walked past her.Soon, three cars left the company.Caroline stood there for a few more minutes before heading to the parking lot. Her personal bodyguards were waiting at her car. They quickly went to her when they spotted her, while one of them opened the door for her. After Adrian left the com
