“Is he eating?”Caroline asked softly. “Yes, but not much. He just stares into space most of the time. He also speaks to himself sometimes, but I can’t catch what he says.”The caretaker responded politely and left the ward. Only Hunter and Caroline remained. Caroline pulled a chair and sat by the bedside. After staring at Hunter for a moment, she said, “Mom is gone, Dad. The dead can’t be revived. We have to accept reality.“Mom made too many mistakes…”Caroline stopped right there. Frankly speaking, death was a light punishment for her mom. Many people died because of her. Hunter turned his head, with some life returning to his eyes. He looked at Caroline for a while before saying, “I thought I’d be happy with your mom gone, Carol. I didn’t expect my heart to feel so empty.“I loved your mom. I wouldn’t have married into the Fisher family if I didn’t.“Yes, I did it for the money at first because the Clark family was going downhill back then. But, I had feelings f

Hunter let out a self-deprecating laugh before Caroline could answer. “Belinda never loved me. It was simply because not many people were willing to be a live-in son-in-law, except me. She only put up with me because she couldn’t get Mr. Foster’s love yet had to give birth to a successor.”Caroline remained silent. She did not know whether Hunter ever had a place in Belinda’s heart. The answer could go both ways, but was there any meaning in pursuing it? Belinda was already dead. “I couldn’t move her heart even after decades of trying. I’m a failure of a man, Carol.“If she loved me even slightly, I wouldn’t have sought out excitement or cheated on her.“Most of the things I did was to get revenge on her.”Caroline pressed her lips together. “I think Mom did care about you. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have had four children with you or got angry when you had an affair.”Hunter saw a glimmer of hope at Caroline’s words. He asked, “Is it true? Did your mom love me?”He ch

‘Did it even matter whether Mom and Aunt Tiara were close?’ Caroline thought to herself.It did not soften her mom’s cruel heart. Aunt Tiara still died from her mom’s schemes. There was also Aunt Alivia. What did she do wrong? She lost her life right after losing her eldest sister.Aunt Alivia probably did not even know she had died at Belinda’s hands. Those who could guess the culprit or had cooperated with Belinda back then were also killed. Entire families were wiped out. Many innocent people were affected after the incident. Belinda deserved to die, but even death was not enough to pay for her sins. Of course, Caroline could not make such a comment because Belinda was her mom. “Your mom valued her daughters more than her sons. When she didn’t know you and Cece had been changed, Cece was her favorite. Sometimes, I even had to get Cece to help me ask for forgiveness from your mom when I made her angry.”Caroline remained silent. She had witnessed how much her fam

If Liberty was still unfamiliar with her responsibilities and required some assistance, Caroline was willing to help until Liberty found her footing. Then, she would leave Jensburg.Anyway, she would not take a single thing from the Fisher family. It was not as if she could not survive without the Fisher family. She still had her career. Hunter panicked. He said, “How can you simply give away everything your mom worked so hard to obtain, Caroline? Her death will be in vain.“What happened between the previous generation remains between them. Since Belinda is dead, it’s over.“However, she was the matriarch before she died. As her daughter, you’re her legitimate successor. You should take over her position. Don’t be a fool and give it back to the other side.”Caroline was unwavering. “It isn’t mine, Dad. I won’t take it. We’ve wronged Mrs. Stone and the rest all along.”Hunter tried to persuade her, “Listen to me, Carol. Don’t give them everything that belongs to the Fisher fam

Hunter was present when Belinda made her will. He dared not voice out any opinions back then. He simply knew the will stated that if Belinda passed away before him, half of her assets would go to Caroline because she was her biological daughter and the one to inherit the family business. The rest would be divided equally among Adrian, Justin, and Jason. Celine was not allocated much. It was only mentioned that she could keep anything she had received before her identity was discovered.In the end, as Belinda’s husband, Hunter was not given anything. However, the will did make it clear that his sons would have to provide for him when he was old. They could decide the amount of allowance they would give him. Belinda had no control over it. After a short pause, Hunter said, “Even if we do it according to Belinda’s will, you’re still my child. Shouldn’t you take care of me as well?”“I never said I wouldn’t. If my brothers can’t afford to provide for you, I’ll give you a mont

“Belinda worked tirelessly day and night for Fisher Enterprise all these years. Even if she had snatched her position as the matriarch, her contributions to Fisher Enterprise cannot be ignored. She should be given credit and had rightfully gained the assets under her name.“Don’t think you can do whatever you want after Belinda’s death. While I can’t sue you if you dare give your mom’s assets to Audrey and the rest, your brothers can.”Caroline found that she was not angry at Hunter’s threat.“If nothing else happens, Adrian, Justin, Jason, and I will divide Mom’s assets according to the will she made,” she said indifferently. Hunter had a bad feeling again.He asked cautiously, “What do you mean?“Did Belinda give everything to you?“Did she change her will?”Caroline did not answer his questions. Belinda had been insistent on sending Caroline away. She even called Darren over and entrusted Caroline to him. She was going to let Caroline take her entire wealth and escape

“Ordinary people can’t earn what my brothers do their entire lives.”Caroline did not know how rich her brothers were. However, when Belinda was alive, no matter how incompetent she thought her sons were, she still helped them to accumulate wealth. Even if her brothers did not have hundreds of millions on them, they would certainly have a comfortable sum.They had no right to complain that they were poor when the wealth they had was something most people could only dream of.How could they be afraid of being unable to survive?Nevertheless, if Caroline did not become the matriarch, the Clark brothers could no longer live in Jensburg. They were incompetent and had been relying on Fisher Enterprise and Belinda to support them.Once the CEO changed, there would be no one to clean up after them. Fisher Enterprise would no longer let them do whatever they wanted. Even if Caroline were to be the CEO, she would not let Fisher Enterprise be her brothers’ safety net anymore. Beside

Caroline was not afraid of Hunter and his sons harassing her. If she could not withstand such pressure, she could not call herself the Fisher family’s successor. Hunter did not say much in the call. He simply informed Adrian to come over to the hospital and hung up when he saw Caroline returning with his drink. Caroline pretended to be clueless about the call and handed the glass to him. Hunter’s throat was parched after trying to persuade her. He downed the glass of water in one go. “Carol…”“You don’t have to say anything else, Dad. I can handle it. Looking after you is our responsibility as children. I’ll give you as much monthly allowance as my brothers do. I won’t let you starve. As for the other requests, you’ll have to talk to my brothers about them.”When Belinda made her will, she made it clear that Hunter was the Clark brothers’ responsibility.Caroline could provide for him should she choose to, but it was entirely up to her. “Have a good rest, Dad.

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

“I’m not obliged to provide for you, Mr. Clark.”Darren would not give Hunter money. He also felt Hunter was trying to obtain some information through the call, not money. Hunter said furiously, “Aren’t you going to marry Caroline? You’ll be my son-in-law in the future. It’s like being half a son to me. Since you’re my son, you should look after your father. Quick. Give me the money.“Otherwise, I won’t let you marry my daughter.”Darren said without hesitation, “Ms. Caroline will decide for her marriage.“If we do get married, she’ll be the one in charge of the finances. I don’t have money.”“Fletcher! Are you a man? Can’t you revitalize the spirit of the Fisher family’s sons-in-law? You saw how I ended up like this. I didn’t have access to the finances and didn’t have money. I’ve been under strict control ever since I married into the family.“That was how I ended up in this miserable state. I’m telling you, the Fisher women are evil. It’s best if you don’t marry Caroline.

“Why would a husband have an affair if his wife could do well?”Ellie was exasperated. She ended the call without hesitation. “Old bastard. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. All your sons cheated on their wives because they have a perverted father like you.“I would’ve divorced Jason if it weren’t for my children being too young. Look at Emma now. She even received half of Adrian’s assets and doesn’t have to look after her children herself. How relaxed her life must be.”The wealth Belinda had left behind was sufficient to afford the children’s education. Ellie still had feelings for Jason. Otherwise, she would have gotten a divorce upon knowing he cheated on her. She would not have reconciled with him with just a little coaxing and advice from her family. Since Jason did not return home the entire night, Hunter guessed his sons’ plan had failed. As he had expected, Caroline was not an easy target. After all, she was Belinda’s biological daughter.

Since the call ended abruptly, Adrian’s girlfriend, Irene, muttered, “Is Mr. Clark unsatisfied with me?”She was almost twenty years younger than Adrian. If he had not been rich and willing to spend his money on her, she would not have wanted to be his lover. Adrian promised to marry her after he was done fighting a legal battle against his sister and claiming his inheritance. He would make her the missus of the Clark family. As for the three children he had with his ex-wife, he had told Irene not to worry about them.Since his mother had left some money behind for her grandchildren, he did not have to pay child support. Irene knew Adrian used to be a young master of the Fishers and that Madam Fisher was extremely wealthy. She did not expect Belinda to be helping her son take care of his children even after her death. Considering Adrian would be able to receive a huge portion of inheritance in the future, Irene decided to be with him. If she did get married to him, and gave
