Sonny missed his mother so much but still did not want to stay with her during his winter break and went to FC Manor with his aunt instead. It was because Jensburg was too cold for him. He was fine with visiting for a few days, seeing the snow, and building a snowman, but living there long-term was simply something he could not get used to. Once he had seen the snow and had his fill, that was it."I’ve had my mint candy, so now I can enjoy the view here at Queen Manor. Let’s make a lap before heading back inside. The men are all huddled together endlessly discussing business."They were all big shots in their respective fields, with plenty of common topics. It was rare for them to meet, so even though they were gathered to deal with Belinda, they cherished this brief time together. Thus, what was initially a two-person stroll turned into a five-member walk. Still, they chatted happily.Belinda, on the other hand, was not having such a leisurely time. After returning from the Fisher
On the way back to the company, Belinda called her daughter.When Caroline answered the phone, Belinda asked, “Where are you now, Caroline?”“At home, resting,” Caroline answered. “Thanks to you, I was hospitalized for a few days and was only just discharged. You told me to stay home and continue resting, so I’m taking it easy.”Belinda choked and asked, “Have you done something behind my back again?”“What are you referring to, in particular?” Belinda almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger. What was she referring to, in particular? That meant Caroline had done a lot of things to undermine her. This was her amazing biological daughter! Audrey said this was karma. Belinda did not believe it, but it was true that nothing was going well for her. On the surface, everything seemed splendid, but in reality, she was the only one holding it together. Her husband and sons were dependent on her for everything and could not help her in any way. Her daughter had the capability to hel
Darren was the one who had been doing the work, not her.“You knew about me going to the cemetery, didn’t you? Did you tell Liberty about it? And the police went to the office looking for me. Did you stab me in the back? How much do you know?”Caroline replied, “Thanks to you, I was hospitalized for a few days and didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed for the first two days. I even needed Darren to help me. What could I have done in such a weak state? If I told you I didn’t do anything in the past few days, would you believe me?“I did know about your visit to the cemetery, but you weren’t exactly low-key about it either. You went with a whole troop of bodyguards and the cemetery has caretakers too. How could anyone not know? Everyone in the family knew, not to mention me. What, did you go there to set fire to our ancestors instead of paying your respects or something?”Belinda was at a complete loss for words at this ungrateful daughter of hers! How did she end up with s
Caroline said, “Even if I leave Jensburg, I’m still your daughter and a Fisher. I don’t want to become a Clark.”She would rather take on her mother’s family name than her father’s.“Should I go to the company, Mom?”Caroline’s attitude softened. After all, they were still mother and daughter.Although she disliked Belinda’s methods and had betrayed her before, she was still willing to take on some of her mother’s responsibilities, such as the company. “No. I’ve already held a management meeting. I told everyone you were unwell and would recuperate at home instead of coming to the office.”The truth was that Belinda did not want Caroline to be involved in too many things. She wanted Caroline to leave Jensburg without any additional burden. Caroline and Darren could settle down in a place where nobody recognized them and start anew.Belinda had entrusted Caroline to Darren. Unfortunately, due to his blind loyalty, he told Caroline about the drug and everything she had said to
Adrian finally relaxed after reviewing what he had done and confirming that he did nothing wrong. “Adrian, there are many policemen at our office. You and your brothers didn’t do anything illegal in the company’s name behind my back, right?”Belinda questioned her eldest son right away with a serious expression. Although Adrian could not see her expression, he knew how stern she would look by hearing her tone. When he heard that the police were at their company, he was shocked. He said cautiously, “We’ve never done anything illegal using the company’s name, Mom.“We’ve been going out, securing business deals as usual. Even if we did steal someone else’s client, we did it by offering more money.“Why are the police there, Mom? There’s nothing wrong with our company’s taxes… right?”Belinda scolded, “The tax authority will be here if they want a tax inspection. It won’t just be the police.”Adrian replied, “I don’t know, Mom. I can guarantee that my brothers and I didn’t do an
Belinda was rendered speechless. “Please contact Mr. Gordon, Madam Fisher.”Belinda replied, “Okay. I’ll do it now.”She called Mr. Gordon and told him to come over right away. She mentioned that the police suspected he owned firearms and that he had to cooperate with the police in their investigation. Mr. Gordon was surprised when he received her call.Aside from the pistol Belinda kept, their other firearms were old rifles used for hunting. However, rifles were illegal as well. They would have to turn the rifles in and receive punishment if found out and reported.Mr. Gordon had the same thought as Belinda.They had the guns for a long time and had never told anyone else about it.Their plan was to set Fisher Manor on fire after Liberty and the rest were inside and eliminate everyone at once. Otherwise, they would kill Liberty, Audrey, and the rest with guns. Mr. Gordon had not taken the rifles as the plan had yet to be finalized. Therefore, the only people who knew about
“I’ll head to the company now, Madam Fisher,” replied Mr. Gordon respectfully. However, after the call ended, he rushed back to his home. Luckily, he had two houses. One was near Fisher Manor, just like Darren's house, and the other was just a drive of two to three minutes from Fisher Enterprise.Living nearby made it convenient whenever Belinda called for him.She compensated him well as he was loyal and had worked for her for decades. His two houses were villas with courtyards. Most of the work he did for Belinda was private and confidential. To keep their secrets secure, Mr. Gordon lived alone without maids and did all the cleaning alone. Aside from Belinda, no one else was allowed to enter his private villas. Those who worked for Mr. Gordon lived around his villa. The arrangement made it easy to carry out his orders and protect him. Even if he was skilled in martial arts, he was alone and required additional protection. Mr. Gordon’s rifles were kept in a secret ro
Belinda and Mr. Gordon returned to Fisher Enterprise late at night. Most of the employees were working overtime. Some had worked slower on purpose to see if both of them would be back. If they could return, it would mean that they had been framed for possessing firearms illegally. Maybe the police were not able to find the guns as well. The Clark brothers were nervous wrecks. They could not focus on work until the secretary informed them that Belinda and Mr. Gordon had returned. Upon hearing that, the brothers exchanged glances and let out a sigh of relief. Justin said, “I knew someone must’ve framed us. I’ve never seen a gun throughout my entire life of being Mom’s son. Even if I did, they were toy guns Mom had bought for me.”Adrian and Jason laughed. Similarly, Adrian had never seen his mother’s or Mr. Gordon’s guns. The Clark brothers quickly went downstairs to receive their mother. Belinda and Mr. Gordon entered the building with bodyguards escorting them.
Dylan walked over and stood by the table. He did not stand beside her as he feared she would toss him over her shoulder.She did not like him being too close to her.“Are you still not admitting that you’re Imogen? I got the answer from my Nana. You’re Imogen. You’re also Sugar.”Imogen closed the book. She raised her head to look at Dylan. Her eyes were bright, and she had a smile on her face. “Are you sure your Nana said so? Do you have evidence that I’m Imogen Doyle?“Do I resemble her a lot?“Are our voices similar? What about our figures?”After a moment of silence, Dylan said, “Your face and voice aren’t like Imogen’s, but you two do have similar body shapes.“You’re called Chameleon Fox. It means you’re cunning and a master at disguising your looks. The only group of people who can disguise themselves perfectly in this world are the students of the legendary masters in the Imperial Force.“Sugar is Silver’s student, and Chameleon Fox is one of your fake identities. I don
Leticia knocked on the door of Imogen’s room but did not receive a response.“Jen is probably asleep. Stop knocking on the door. Look at the time now.”Winston reminded his wife that she should not wake their daughter as it was already late at night. Leticia stopped knocking and said, “I just wanted to talk to Jen because I haven’t seen her lately. I guess I’ll have to wait till her next day off if she’s asleep.”Although the Doyle family lived in the same mansion, the youngsters were always busy with company matters.They would always head out early in the morning and only be back late at night. Even during holidays, they barely had time to themselves because they had to meet clients.While Davidson Group was one of the best megacorporations in Huntington, the clients who worked with them were equally strong. There were also many competitors who would like to snatch business deals from Davidson Group.Therefore, Davidson Group had to maintain good relationships with their clie
However, Zachary was punished the least among the York brothers.He already started behaving like the eldest since he was young. He was calm and composed, unlike his naughty younger brothers. Gramps and Grandma May punished them often. Nevertheless, the York brothers liked being with their grandparents.“Enough of that. Let’s talk about you and Ms. Doyle. Have you wondered why she isn’t admitting that she’s Chameleon Fox? That’s just another alias of hers. Her true identity is Imogen Doyle, a young lady of the Doyle family.“She wants you to fall in love with Imogen instead of treating her as Fox. Although she’s also Fox, that isn’t her original self but simply an identity created through makeup.“If you two were to get married, you’d have to spend the rest of your lives as husband and wife. Ms. Doyle can’t possibly live with you as Chameleon Fox forever. She has already returned to her family. She’s no longer going on adventures with her teacher as Sugar either.“Everyone knows h
After a moment of silence, Imogen said, “You don’t like spicy food. Even drinking some spicy soup feels like taking poison to you. You don’t have to make yourself suffer. Just go back and never appear before me and my family again.“You’ve never liked me from the start anyway.”The person he loved was Chameleon Fox.Although it was one of her aliases, Imogen still felt that Dylan did not love her.She was probably the only person in the world who was jealous of herself.She raised the window and drove away.Dylan returned to his car and started following Imogen’s car from behind.Imogen initially wanted to go shopping with her friends. Upon seeing Dylan following her, she changed her mind and went home.When they arrived at the Doyles’ mansion, Imogen was able to drive inside while Dylan’s car was denied entry. Luckily, Leticia and the rest were not home.Otherwise, Dylan would be in trouble.He waited in front of the gates for some time. A security guard walked over and kn
A few minutes later.Imogen wanted to pretend she could not see the “statue” at the entrance of the company, but Dylan rushed out and blocked her way. Fortunately, she was not driving at a high speed and was able to stop the car immediately.She lowered the car window and scolded, “If you want to die, don’t die under my tires, Mr. Dylan. I don’t want to dirty my tires.”“I’m sorry for choosing such a dangerous way to stop your car, Imogen. However, you wouldn’t have stopped if I didn’t do this,” said Dylan apologetically.“What business do you have?”Imogen took a few deep breaths and added coldly, “It’s late and cold. Why are you standing here? Don’t blame me if you fall sick from the cold. I didn’t order you to stand here.“If you catch a cold, it's your problem. I’ve already said I didn’t need you to treat me to a meal.”Dylan smiled. “Considering that I’ve stood here for so long, will you do me the honor of letting me have a meal with you?”He handed her the frozen bouque
Imogen enjoyed the time she had spent with Grandma May. Therefore, she did not want to trouble the old lady.“I heard Old Mrs. York is a playful old lady. She loves having fun. She’s very healthy as well. I want to invite her to our place. She’ll be able to witness some interesting scenes.”Imogen replied, “You should unleash your dissatisfaction on Dylan, Layla. Don’t disturb Old Mrs. York. While she’s healthy, she’s already eighty. She shouldn’t travel far distances at her age. We won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens.”Old Mrs. York was the anchor of the York family.Imogen dared not risk her safety.She liked Grandma May and the Yorks.Her teacher had also said he could be at ease if she were to marry into the York family. If it were any other family, he would be worried about her husband or his family mistreating her.“Does Old Mrs. York know how to use WhatsApp?”“Yes. She’s good with electronic devices.”“Okay. Give me her number. That way, I can g
Layla scoffed. “Who knows if you’re truly sincere?”“I know you all won’t believe me no matter what I say, Ms. Doyle. I’ll prove that I’m serious about Imogen through my actions.”Dylan spoke with honesty, “If there’s a sliver of possibility that I’m playing around with Imogen’s heart again, you don’t have to teach me a lesson. My family will gladly do the honors. Besides, I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I thought of developing a relationship with Imogen because of Nana’s orders.”“That’s right. You listened to your nana and came to pursue Jen for three months. Jen was young and naive. Just when she started getting attracted to you, you ran away and said you realized you couldn’t fall in love with her.“Is Jen’s love worth so little? Would you even have given an explanation if Jen didn’t go to you for one?“It’s been months since then. Just as Jen has moved on, you reappear and disrupt her peaceful life. You came back to pursue her because you couldn’t get the woman you lo
“We can talk about this next time. By the way, Layla already left.“I still have some work to do. I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again even if the world is ending. I’ll hate you if you disturb me and make me work till late at night.”Dylan said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you. Go on with your work. Remember not to exhaust yourself.”Imogen hung up without another word.Before Dylan could even put his phone back into his pocket, he saw a luxury car exiting the parking lot.Since it was past working hours, most employees had already left.That luxury car probably belonged to Layla.Dylan had met members of the Doyle family before. However, he did not have a deep impression of them.Layla Doyle was the president of Davidson Group. Although there was still a board of directors above her, she still called the shots for most matters.Therefore, she was extremely busy. Back when Dylan deliberately approached Imogen and treated her well to pursue her, he had only seen Layla once from afa
Dylan smiled. “Look, Imogen. It’s dark, and it’s time to have dinner. Aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you come out and have dinner with me? I can take you back to the office to continue working afterward. What do you think?“How much work do you have left? I bought two movie tickets. We can go watch a movie after you’re done working.”Imogen rejected him coldly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. I’m not free. I’ll be heading home for dinner after work. Since it’s a rare day where I don’t have to attend an event, I want to have a good rest.”She had already made an appointment with a few of her best friends to go shopping at eight o’clock that night.She had no time to accompany Dylan.How could he think of having dinner and watching a movie together? It had only been one day since he decided to pursue her again.Dylan could dream on.Imogen had not even admitted she was Chameleon Fox. How could she possibly accept him?Did he think she was an easy target?In the past, Imogen had loved him s
