Married at First Sight Chapter 3770
The caregiver felt quite aggrieved. It was just a small matter, yet the old man was so furious it seemed like he almost wanted to dig up her ancestors to curse them too.“It’s fine. You can go out now. We’ll talk to my dad. He’s getting old, and since Mom just passed, he’s in a bad mood and is prone to anger. Please bear with it,” Adrian said, pulling out his wallet. He took a small stack of money of around a thousand bucks or so and handed it to the caregiver. “You take care of my dad every day, and with his bad temper, it must be tough on you. This is a little bonus for you.”Since he said it was a bonus, the caregiver accepted the money, thanking Adrian before leaving. Although she felt wronged by the scolding, she would not hold it against Hunter, especially since Adrian had given her some extra money.After Hunter was caught having an affair, he acted like a sycophant in front of Belinda but became unpredictable and moody with the domestic employees. Sometimes, he would yell at

“You were born, raised, and have lived there for decades. You can’t be more familiar with the manor. It’s not that difficult for you guys.“If you manage to sneak in, don’t go for the big or heavy items. Just go for your mom’s jewelry storage and take her accessories.“Grab her luxury bags too. Take all of them if you can. Reselling any one of the bags can bring us lots of money.”The Clark brothers nodded their heads at everything Hunter said. Adrian said, “Caroline, that bitch, told us to sell our properties and leave Jensburg or at least out of the city center with our families. She said that was the only way to have a peaceful life and keep everything we have now.“Should we listen to her, Dad?”After thinking, Hunter replied, “Based on the current situation, what she had suggested was the key to your survival.“While the people from Wiltspoon won’t do anything to you guys openly, they’ve been in the industry for some time. You can’t possibly believe that they’re kind peopl

Emma happily agreed to Adrian’s requests since he said yes to getting a divorce.Belinda had passed away while Hunter was hospitalized. Emma did not feel as resentful as before with the Fisher family going through so much. She had calmed down and was satisfied as long as she could get a divorce and free herself.Emma was already middle-aged. Since she and Adrian would have joint custody of the children, she would not feel as stressed and could finally enjoy her life to the fullest.She did not know if she would remarry. She would let nature take its course. She would consider remarrying if she could meet someone great who did not care that she had been married before.However, Emma thought she would have more freedom if she stayed single. She had plenty of money anyway and could live comfortably. Her mood improved just by thinking of the future. After the call ended, Hunter asked Adrian, “Was that Emma?”“Yeah. She asked when I could complete the divorce procedures.”Hu

Costa Corporation was one of the O’Connor family’s businesses in Satbury. It had many subsidiaries spanning across various industries under it. Isabella and Tati jointly managed Costa Corporation. The O’Connors had been around in Satbury for decades, which allowed them to accumulate that much wealth. Of course, they had gone through many hardships, one of which was when Isabella first took over the businesses. Many people anticipated all of the O’Connor family’s companies to get into trouble and go bankrupt. Some even hoped they would be in debt. Most of them were doubtful of Isabella and Tati. However, the companies managed to overcome the crisis, and the O’Connor family flourished from that point onward. Isabella and Tati were the main decision-makers in the family. They were the youngest among all business tycoons. Isabella was only twenty-seven, while Tati was even younger. Edith and Eleanor were of similar ages and worked in one of the family’s businesses. Since they w

At that moment, Mr. Longbottom’s car was parked outside Costa Corporation. His bodyguards’ cars were parked behind his luxury car. He always had a convoy whenever he was out. It was to boost his aura and to protect himself. Mr. Longbottom stared at the tall office building. His expression was tense, and his eyes were cold. He felt furious. After a while, he told a bodyguard, “Get down and tell a security guard that I know Ms. O’Connor is in the company now. I want to know when she can meet me.”Although he was simply the acting head, no one in Havenmill dared to defy him that way. Most of the time, he would decide whether to meet someone based on his mood. Even if the other person were someone on par with his status, that person would show him respect and agree to meet him if he asked to. No one ever rejected him bluntly like Isabella. Tati was slightly better. Mr. Longbottom had met her twice. However, she had rejected him whenever he invited her out to hang out or

“They have to continue waiting if it isn’t their turn yet. No one can cut the line unless the CEO allows it. Didn’t Mr. Longbottom make an appointment two days ago? It probably isn’t his turn yet.“If that’s the case, please go back and wait. Coming to our company and blocking the way every day is useless. If you happen to block our boss’s way and make her angry, she might even cancel Mr. Longbottom’s appointment.”Mr. Longbottom’s guard was about to say something but decided against it. He simply thanked the security guard.He turned and returned to the car. Once Mr. Longbottom lowered the window, he said respectfully, “That security guard said you have to follow the given time of your appointment and that there’s no need to wait here every day.“He also mentioned that everyone has to wait if it isn’t their turn yet. We can’t skip the line.”Mr. Longbottom’s expression darkened, but only for a moment. His face soon returned to normal. He said calmly, “I’ll wait here until Isabell

“After that, he’ll gradually gain control of our family businesses. Although he’s just a temporary head of the Longbottom family, he has competence and cruel methods. Nevertheless, no matter how well he does now, he still isn’t legitimate.“His efforts will easily go to someone else. I believe he’s aware of the changes in the Fisher family of Jensburg. He’ll definitely be afraid of experiencing what Madam Fisher did.”Tati asked, “Is he leaving a back door open for himself? If he gains control of our family, he won’t lose everything even after stepping down as the temporary head and leaving Havenmill. He can even take many of the Longbottoms’ business contracts with him through his established collaborations.”“Most likely. He has already used that method to obtain a lot of money with his wife’s help. However, many senior managers of Longbottom Corporation are the family’s elites. They only obey the orders of the head of the family and are committed to protecting the family assets.

After thinking about it, Tati nodded and agreed with Isabella. She asked, “Are we going to keep ignoring Mr. Longbottom?”“Do you want to meet him?” Isabella questioned back.Tati immediately shook her head. “No. He thinks he’s a charming, elegant, and handsome middle-aged man. He has no idea that he’s just a sleazy old man to me. I hate his arrogant gaze and his being delusional about his looks.“After getting used to a great man like Austin, seeing a man as pretentious as Mr. Longbottom makes me realize the vast difference between them.“Austin is really gentlemanly and charismatic. Even without doing anything, he looks pleasing to me whenever I look at him.“I finally believe the saying that looking at handsome guys and pretty women can improve one’s mood.”After speaking, Tati noticed her sister’s teasing gaze. She quickly explained, “I don’t mean anything by that, Isa.”“You don’t need to explain. We’re cousins. We’ve grown up together and know each other well. Even my

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
