Chapter 3691

Author: Gu Lingfei
Belinda dragged her hostage upstairs up to the top floor. It was a good distance from the crowd downstairs and they had backed up quite far. The gun she had could not shoot that far, so she would not hit anyone even if she fired. All she could do was threaten the crowd that if anyone approached the door, she would fire. If she fired at the door from the top floor, she could still hit someone.

The hostage was knocked out, so she could free a hand to call Mr. Gordon and get him to save her. If she could not take everyone down with her, then she did not want to die anymore. She wanted to escape. She had a small helicopter. If Gordon flew it over, he could save her from her dire straits. The policemen below had already called their superiors, asking for backup and snipers.

“Mom, let her go and put down the gun! I’m begging you, please don’t go any further down this path.” Caroline ran forward fearlessly, shouting up at her mother from several meters away, pleading for her to stop. She ur

    Audrey also reached out to pull Caroline to her side and she said, “Liberty’s right. Don’t go inside. Look at her. When she shot your father, she pulled the trigger without any hesitation. She’s gone mad.”Hunter had fainted from the pain of the gunshot. Adrian and his brothers were frozen from shock, not having expected their mother to actually shoot their father. When they saw that she even fired at Caroline, the three brothers were even less inclined to step forward, fearing dearly that their mother would shoot to kill them without a care that they were her sons. They stayed by Hunter’s side, waiting for the paramedics to arrive to send their father to the emergency room.Caroline’s eyes reddened as she looked up at Belinda, standing by the rooftop balcony railing. She broke free of Audrey’s grip and ran to the front of the crowd once more, kneeling with a loud sound. She banged her head against the ground, kowtowing as she cried out, “Mom, please, I’m begging you—don’t continue

    True—no matter how capable Mr. Gordon was, he was still human, after all. He was an elderly man himself, being older than her by a few years, and was almost eighty years old. He continued working tirelessly for her. No matter how outstanding he was, he could not compete with the younger ones in Zachary’s generation. He was not a god.Take Patrick for example; had he not been impressive? Even then, he was pushed to the limit by the assassins she sent back then and almost died. Even though he survived, he sustained severe injuries that gave him recurring pain and illness over the years. If Doc had not been the one who saved him, there was no way he would have lived to see this day.Belinda still could not believe she was at the end of her rope. She called Mr. Gordon again. The call seemed to connect, but he did not pick up. It rang for a long time and still, he did not answer. After it stopped, Belinda called again but still got the same result.Belinda's heart felt like it had plumme

    They were so far away that she could not even see their features clearly. Who could she hit with her two remaining bullets? The only possible target was herself. She peered at the family member she had taken hostage and recognized the young lady, who was a fairly capable woman. If the girl was kept alive, then she would be a threat to Caroline. Belinda felt she should kill the girl.On second thought, under the current circumstances, Caroline might not be able to become the head of the family. She would keep these capable family members alive then, to make things difficult for Liberty.Liberty only had workplace experience before getting married and having children, which caused her to disconnect from society for a few years. After her divorce, she started anew with a breakfast diner business. Later, she opened a restaurant, but the scope was still limited. It was not until she came to Jensburg and established a new company that she truly entered the business world, and her experie

    “Mom, don’t!” Caroline screamed, but a gunshot resounded just as she was about to rush over to Belinda. All she could do was watch her mother slowly fall limp.“Mom!” Caroline rushed forward, barely managing to catch her mother as she collapsed. The gun slipped from Belinda’s hand and fell to the ground.“Mom… Mom!” Caroline cried as she hugged her mother’s body. Belinda's eyes were open and she gazed at her daughter, seeming to want to say something but unable to. At that moment, she seemed to see her sisters. Tiara was looking at her with a stern expression and Alivia looked livid. They were understandably angry; she had betrayed them. “Tiara… I'm sorry...” Belinda whispered weakly. Her eyes began to close slowly, but a faint smile appeared on her face. She felt a sense of relief wash over her. She could finally go to her sisters and apologize. She was wrong! She should not have caused her sisters’ deaths in her pursuit of power and influence. Their parents had passed away ea

    Mr. Gordon murmured softly. He gave a bow toward the main house, a long deep bow, then he rose and turned to leave. His subordinates, confused, followed him out. Once outside the manor, Mr. Gordon got into his car alone, dismissing them from following him, and drove away into the night.As darkness fell, it marked the end of the darkest hour, giving way to light.It was a new day. The news of Belinda’s suicide dominated all media in Jensburg. Numerous reports circulated about her past, detailing how she had harmed her sisters. Speculations also emerged about her jealousy toward Tiara and her unrequited love for Mr. Foster, Tiara’s assistant, which had allegedly driven her to betray her family.The whole city was talking about it. All members of the Fisher family received inquiries from friends and acquaintances, while Fisher Enterprise was also rife with unrest. Caroline announced a week-long break in their work group chat, instructing senior management to notify everyone. The entir

    Kevin was in the president’s office of Queen Enterprise accompanying his fiancée, Hayden. Liberty had returned to her office. She had not handled much work in the past few days, and the tasks that needed her attention had piled up. She needed to deal with everything quickly so she could take some time off for Christmas and return to Wiltspoon to celebrate. Her son and sister were still at FC Manor, so she was considering flying to Annenburg with Zachary to pick them up before heading back to Wiltspoon for the festivities. After a busy year, Christmas was one of the few times she could truly relax. As for the issues with the Fisher family, they could wait until after the holiday. After Christmas, she would be particularly busy, especially when Serenity gave birth. As a family member, she would definitely be waiting outside the delivery room. However, she had to deal with all the important matters in advance so she could take off when the time came.At this moment, however, Liberty

    “Mom, I’m not comparing myself to Laurence. I’m just copying the medical words to keep him company so he doesn’t get bored alone.” They were good friends, after all. Plus, his Aunt Seren had told him that joining Laurence was beneficial for him, and aside from his mother, she was the person who treated him the best, so he trusted her completely. Since Serenity said it was harmless, he would do it. He could practice his writing while he was at it. By the time school started again after Christmas break, he would be able to write beautifully and outshine his wealthy classmates.“Right, no need to compare. Have you been having fun these past couple of days?” Liberty asked gently.Sonny replied, “Yes! I’m so happy that I don’t even want to go home. Aunt Ser says I’m a, uh….”“You’re a happy-go-lucky one, huh.”“Yeah, yeah, that’s it! Happy-go-lucky.”Serenity had explained the meaning of the phrase to him, and he understood it to some extent. “Mom, when are you coming back?” Sonny

    “Really? You’re coming back next week?” Sonny shouted happily. “Mom, is it almost Christmas? I want to set off fireworks!”“We can’t set off fireworks,” Liberty replied. “If you want to see fireworks, we’ll have to go to Wildridge Manor to see them.”At the foot of the hill Wildridge Manor was situated on, there was a large lawn where fireworks could be set off. In other places, it was not suitable due to the risk of fire. Fireworks were prohibited in the city, but they were not banned in rural areas. However, she could not possibly take her son back to the Hunts’ home for Christmas. Their parents' old house was still occupied by their grandparents.Before Christmas, though, the sisters might have to visit their hometown. No matter how estranged they were, the old Hunt couple were still their grandparents. They should bring some Christmas gifts and a little money for the two elders for the holiday, but nothing more.“That’s settled then!” Sonny immediately decided they would go to

Meanwhile, Dylan, Peter, and Austin were still busy pursuing their future wives.River was still inexperienced, while Alex had not truly debuted in the business world. Grandma May had told Zachary to bring Alex along to a large-scale corporate event that would be happening soon. Alex’s identity would be revealed so people could get to know him.

    “She even said she miscarried once.”Serenity told Zachary, “Camryn mentioned that Carrie had asked Trenton for money to conduct a surgery before. Trenton wanted to come back to look after her, but she didn’t let him. Carrie probably had an abortion at that time.“When she stared at me earlier, she probably recalled how we became enemies and displayed her hatred. She still doesn’t think she’s in the wrong and that I’m the one entirely at fault.”Carrie was a hopeless case.Although Carrie’s hatred for Serenity was overwhelming, Serenity was not scared of her. Upon knowing Carrie’s true intentions, Serenity never trusted “Mrs. Longbottom” and did not allow her to join her group of friends. If Carrie could not complete her mission, her financial backer would eventually lose patience and deal with her. Serenity would not have to lift a finger.Camryn did not want Serenity to teach Carrie a lesson either. It was not because she still viewed Carrie as a sister, but because she wanted

    Carrie had gathered some news about Mr. Longbottom through her two bodyguards. He had a new target and was busy pleasing her. That old man was already tired of her. It had not been long since he had her, but he was already flirting with a new woman. Fortunately, Carrie was still useful. Otherwise, Mr. Longbottom would have abandoned her and not even given her any allowance. Upon realizing she would be abandoned sooner or later, Carrie started spending less to save money. Once the task Mr. Longbottom assigned her was completed, she would leave Wiltspoon with the money she had saved and go somewhere nobody knew her to start anew.When that time came, she would buy a house and a car with the money. She would also open two stores to earn some living allowance. Then, she would look for a handsome man to get married to and have children with. Carrie believed that she could lead a comfortable life. Oh, she would also return to fight for the Newmans’ family assets in the future. E

    If they could do more, oppressing the Longbottoms’ family businesses in Havenmill would help Laurence greatly.However, Zachary had told Serenity that even though Laurence’s enemy had taken over the family business after killing Laurence’s family, the man was unable to make it his own or mobilize the elites of the Longbottom family. That was because Mr. Longbottom did not have the family totem and seal, as well as the family head’s token. Those items were with Doc. Jane had given them to Doc, hoping he would keep them safe for Laurence. The legendary masters were pioneers of the Imperial Force. Since they were inactive, not many people remembered them, much less their hideout. Therefore, leaving the items in Doc’s care was safer than putting them in FC Manor. Meanwhile, the Longbottom family’s totem was carved on Laurence’s back.When Serenity saw it, she thought the totem was not only a representation of his identity, but also carried secrets of the Longbottom family. However,

    Zachary held Serenity’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll go with you to your prenatal checkup first.”He would not be going to the company in the morning because of that. When they turned to leave, they met Carrie. She was holding a little girl’s hand, talking to the girl as she walked. However, the little girl did not seem bothered to listen to Carrie. “Mr. and Mrs. York, you must be here to drop Sonny off.”When Carrie saw Zachary and Serenity, Carrie stopped and greeted them with a smile. Her gaze landed on Zachary, then Serenity. Serenity was twenty-eight weeks pregnant. Jasmine was a month ahead of her and already at thirty-two weeks. Josh did not really want Jasmine to go to the bookstore anymore, but Jasmine refused to stay home because she was too bored. Jasmine said she would look after the bookstore for another month before staying home to prepare for labor and delivery. Josh had no choice but to follow her wishes. The Bucham family’s bodyguards were following her all th

    Lilian thought of her teacher and smiled. “The elderly are like that. My teacher does this too. If he didn’t see baby Oliver for three days, he’d say that Oliver got thinner and that we didn’t take good care of Oliver. He even suspected that I wasn’t feeding Oliver.“That’s the baby I gave birth to after months of pregnancy. Although Oliver is a crybaby and pretty annoying, my love for him isn’t less than my teacher’s. How could I have abused my own son?“The elderly love exaggerating things. They’re closer to their grandchildren. My teacher was very strict with me. If I didn’t complete the homework he assigned, he wouldn’t even let me eat. I didn’t see him worry about me getting thinner from hunger back then.”Serenity laughed as well. “You’re right. Our parents are usually closer to our children. Jane said her family used to adore her the most whenever she visited them. However, after she had children, her mom wouldn’t be as welcoming if she didn’t bring her children along for vis

    “Why is our weather here not suitable, Aunt Ser?”“We have particularly long summers, where the weather is hot. Even if it’s winter, the temperature doesn’t go very low. It’s better to avoid eating fried food in such weather.”Most people from other countries thought Wiltspoonians did not eat greasy food. However, it was not because they disliked it, but because they could not take it.Sonny was still a little confused, but Serenity never explained further. He was still young. Even if she were to give a proper explanation, he would not understand her. “Has Sonny’s fever subsided, Serenity?”Duncan was walking up the stairs with the help of his bodyguards. He spoke as soon as he arrived at the door. Serenity put Sonny down. “Dunc.”Sonny immediately ran toward Duncan. Duncan lifted him as his bodyguards brought his wheelchair over. He sat on the wheelchair and patted Sonny’s head. After a moment, he muttered to himself, “I think there’s still a low fever.”Serenity walked

    Sonny waited for Serenity to lift him. He was especially clingy because he was sick. “I want to have oatmeal porridge, Aunt Ser.”Sonny had already lost his appetite when he was at preschool earlier. Now that his fever was gone, he felt hungry but only wanted oatmeal porridge.Serenity lifted him and touched his forehead. His temperature seemed to have returned to normal. She brought him downstairs and measured his temperature with a thermometer.After asking the kitchen to prepare the order for Sonny, she said, “I didn’t get the kitchen to prepare oatmeal porridge beforehand, so you’ll have to wait.”Sonny was all snuggled up in her embrace. He said softly, “But I’m hungry, Aunt Ser. Can I have some snacks?”Serenity looked toward Lilian. She asked, “Can Sonny have snacks after having a fever, Dr. Carden?”“Not too much. He might not have the appetite to have a proper meal later,” said Lilian.Therefore, Serenity brought a small piece of snack for Sonny.“I want you to fee

    Serenity had some child-care experience from raising Sonny.She liked children, especially those who were a few months old. She thought they were the cutest.Lilian said, “I can’t take it when Oliver keeps crying. Although I know all babies act that way, I still can’t take it. Being a mom isn’t easy. However, ever since I became a mom, I’ve had a deeper appreciation for my teacher. He never got married or became a dad before, but he learned how to raise a child because he found me.“He raised and nurtured me into a capable person. He taught me everything he knew about medicine. Although he isn’t my biological dad, he feels like one. I’m greatly indebted to him. I’ve decided that I’d be utterly filial to him in the future.“Now, he’s even helping me to take care of my baby and student. Laurence is mostly taught by Doc. Doc said my student is also his student.”Lilian would teach Laurence whenever she had free time.Usually, Laurence lived with Doc and the other masters. They were
