Married at First Sight Chapter 593
This was the mindset of the older generation. They believed the inheritance should stay in the family by leaving them to the sons and grandsons as daughters would only grow up to marry into another family. For families without a direct descendant to bequeath the inheritance to, fellow townspeople would be eyeing the property. They would keep the wealth in the town. Many were unwilling to leave their hard-earned assets to someone who did not carry the family name. Hence, they would try to bring a son into the family. “Are you talking about John Hunt by chance?” John’s name rang a bell as he was once a senior executive at one of the Stones’ subsidiaries. John made a million dollars annually. For John to earn a huge chunk of change from the Stones, to push around her nieces, and to take over her sister’s property, Mrs. Stone could not say he left a good impression. She needed to get Clive to go hard on John so the latter would not be able to even make a living out of begging

“I know you and your sister aren’t pushovers, but I just want to do right by my sister.” Serenity was without a word. The aunt and niece shared an afternoon of conversation. Mrs. Stone insisted on going with Serenity to pick Liberty up at Lewis & Co. at five o’clock in the evening. Serenity let her be. Taking the wheel, Serenity drove Sonny, Mrs. Stone, and the others to Lewis & Co. Jasmine and Mrs. Lane did not come along. Halfway on the road, Serenity’s mind suddenly flew to Grandma May. She had not seen the old lady the whole afternoon. Serenity immediately gave Grandma May a call. She jumped straight to the question the moment the phone was picked up. “Nana, where were you?” “I was taking a stroll. Are you heading home? I’ll grab a cab back then.” Grandma May had been at Mr. Charles’ shop the whole time. She dared not show her face for fear Mrs. Stone might see her. “Nana, the DNA test results for Mrs. Stone and me are out. She’s my aunt. Aunt Audrey wan

Liberty did not have to look to know who it was. The voice was all too familiar to her. It was Chelsea, her former notorious sister-in-law. Mrs. Brown brought her daughter to Lewis & Co., but Liberty had her lunch at the office cafeteria instead of having it at home. She took a power nap at her desk before continuing her work. All the while, she did not leave the office. The mother and daughter were on a stakeout in front of the office building the whole afternoon. Tempers were flaring, to say the least. Now that Liberty was finally out, Chelsea’s fury had risen to an all-time high. Without regard to the building crowd, she yelled and caught the attention of many. The nosy passersby stopped to watch the drama unfold. Although Liberty was only a measly clerk in the finance department, she was personally hired by Mr. Lewis. That was how she became well-known in the company. The director of the finance department was worried about losing her job as she found out that Lib

Someone stood up to Chelsea. “That’s right. You’re a woman. How can you say that about Liberty? Liberty did the right thing. We’re behind you, Liberty!” “With a sister-in-law like that, I’d divorce and stay away from the family even if my man didn’t cheat on me.” Chelsea grimaced in the face of public criticism. She believed Liberty humiliated her. Suddenly, Chelsea pushed the e-bike that Liberty was holding onto. Liberty had a hard time wheeling the e-bike as it had a flat tire. Chelsea’s sudden push caused Liberty to topple over together with the e-bike. “Give us back the money. Your grandfather took the money from my mom and denied taking it. You’re responsible for your grandfather’s debt. Give the money back to my mom.” Still not feeling satisfied after the push, Chelsea went on to swing her handbag at Liberty. It did not stop there as she also made use of her feet to kick Liberty. Ditching the e-bike, Liberty stumbled onto her feet and snatched the purse from C

Black in the face, Duncan asked, “What’s going on here?” Chelsea got up from the ground and tried to charge at Liberty, but Duncan pushed her away. It took a few steps before Chelsea could steady her balance. Chelsea looked up and saw a towering man with a scowl standing by Liberty. The scar on the man’s face was terrifying. She might have nightmares if she stared at the scar long enough. Shaking in her boots, Chelsea lost the will to pounce on Liberty. Mrs. Brown hurried to her daughter’s side. The mother and daughter were a hot mess, but so was Liberty. The few security guards and female employees who tried intervening in the fight looked disheveled. It never crossed their minds that the fight between two parties involving three women could get so wild. It was impossible to tear them apart. “Who are you?” After catching her breath, Chelsea questioned Duncan. “I’m the boss of this company, and who are you? Who are you to come to my place of business and kick my

The Browns pair tried to flee. Alas, the cops arrived.“Stop them!” Seeing that the mother and daughter were going to make a run for it, Duncan commanded the people to swoop in on them. “Mr. Lewis, did you call the cops? What happened here? There seems to be a commotion.” The cops recognized Duncan. It was mainly because Duncan was a familiar face among the police force but not for a good reason. After turning over a new leaf, Duncan took an honest path and went into business. He grew Lewis & Co. into one of the major corporations in Wiltspoon in the span of a few years and had a net worth of billions. Everybody around here knew who Duncan was. Well, it would be more accurate to say that everybody doing business in Wiltspoon knew Duncan. “They came here to beat up my employee. Look at what they did to her.” Duncan pulled Liberty out from the crowd and showed the train wreck Liberty was. The cops were speechless. A catfight!Their gaze shifted from Liberty to t

The group had only elbowed their way into the crowd when Serenity cried, “Liberty.” Sonny called for his mother. It was not hard to take stock of the situation when Serenity saw Chelsea and her mom as well as the disheveled state her sister was in. Boy, she was riled up. Putting Sonny in her sister’s arms, Serenity rolled up her sleeve and was ready to get into a fight. “Seren.” Mrs. Stone worked fast and swiftly stopped Serenity from trying to stick up for her sister. “Seren, leave it to the cops to handle this.” The cops had been called. It would not look good on Serenity to fight in front of the cops. “Mr. Stone. Mrs. Stone.” Duncan was surprised to see the Stones. Out of respect, he approached them and said hello. Mr. and Mrs. Stone exchanged greetings with Duncan. Mrs. Stone asked, “What’s going on here, Mr. Lewis?” Duncan replied, “Let the cops take their statements at the station, Mrs. Stone.” He then said to the cops, “Officer, my employee has suffere

Mrs. Stone snapped, “Do you think an apology would cut it after you beat my niece up? We don’t accept your apology. You’ve pushed one too far.” She then told the police officers. “We won’t settle with an apology. Do what you need to do, officers. But I think compensation should be in order.” The Browns’ mother and daughter were detained, fined, and ordered to pay Liberty’s medical bills and emotional distress. Since they beat Liberty up and insulted her in public, Liberty could claim emotional distress due to reputation loss. Hearing that Liberty was Mrs. Stone’s niece, Duncan looked at Mrs. Stone in surprise. Mrs. Brown asked Mrs. Stone blankly, “Are you Liberty’s aunt? When did you come into the picture?” Liberty was not related to her mom’s side of the family. The family had not been in touch with Liberty and her sister for the last fifteen years. Serenity was the only family who attended Liberty’s wedding. Their extended families from both their parents’ sides did n

“I’m used to him being by my side. Now that he’s hidden, it just feels weird.”Caroline added, “Even if I want to kiss him, I can only do it in my dreams.”Liberty was speechless. Seeing Liberty being at a loss for words, Caroline smiled. “Did I renew your impression of me?”“Yes. I didn’t know you were this kind of person.”Caroline giggled. “Darren’s too serious and respectful. If I don’t take the lead, we might sleep on opposite ends of the bed after getting married. He probably won’t even dare to turn in bed.”Liberty thought of Darren’s face, which constantly had a stern expression. He only looked normal around Caroline. He indeed treated her respectfully and never dared to offend her. Liberty said, “You’re still his master. It’s only natural that he’s acting that way.“When you two become husband and wife, he’ll change. However, you won’t have to doubt his love and loyalty for you.”The next thing Liberty knew, Caroline asked her private questions regarding married lif

Caroline moved first, exiting the elevator.Adrian blocked her path, refusing to give way.Caroline did not want to argue with her brothers, so she simply sidestepped and continued toward the CEO’s office. The Clark brothers watched her leave.“Let’s go, Adrian.” Justin entered the elevator first.Adrian withdrew his gaze and led Jason into the elevator.“I heard Darren’s out on a business trip and has been sent to another province to handle some matters, so he won’t be back for at least ten days to half a month,” Jason shared in a low voice. “And for the past few days, Caroline’s only been accompanied by those few bodyguards of hers. There really hasn’t been any sign of Darren with her. I’ve asked someone to look into it and verified Darren left Jensburg by flight a few days ago. What do you think, Adrian?”Adrian replied under his breath, “We’re at work. Don’t talk about that here. We’ll talk about it when we get home tonight.”Justin and Jason immediately shut their mouths.

“I’m in charge now, not your mother. If you can’t do the work, then don’t cling to your positions and collect a salary for doing nothing.”Liberty had no intention of tolerating their laziness any longer.The three brothers had tried investing and running their own businesses, but they mostly ended up losing money. The only stable income they had was from renting out the properties and shops they owned.That was why Hunter had advised his sons to return to Ashford, buy more properties and shops, and live off the rental income. It was much more stable than their business ventures.If the properties were hard to rent out, they could always sell them and recover some money, but with their business investments, not only did they lose money, they often ended up in debt by the time the businesses failed.It was a mystery how much of Belinda’s personal wealth had been spent helping her sons pay off their debts while she was alive.However, there were times when they made money. They wou

They had taken a few days of sick leave, but after receiving the news, they miraculously “recovered” and returned to work.However, their behavior did not improve. They continued strutting around the company, acting as if they owned the place, just as they had before.While others completed the tasks Liberty assigned on time, the three Clark brothers always dragged their feet. They only ever barely managed to finish them after repeated urging, and the results were still always far from satisfactory.“Look at the plans and reports you submitted. They’re a complete mess! What kind of work is this? You all sit in the positions of vice president, earning high salaries, and this is how you perform?“Do you think your work justifies your pay?”In the CEO’s office, Liberty sat behind her crescent-shaped desk. The three Clark brothers stood in front of her, having been summoned.Liberty slammed their work results onto the desk in front of them and her face was filled with anger as she be

Darren stopped walking.Caroline stopped as well.“What’s wrong?” Caroline looked at him. “You don’t want to follow my plan?”“I’ll do whatever you ask of me. It’s just, could we delay it for a couple of days? I’m worried…”“Darren.” Caroline’s expression turned serious. “Trust me! And trust yourself. I have the ability to protect myself, and you have the ability to protect me too. I might get hurt, but I won’t be in any life-threatening danger.”She glanced at Liberty and Duncan walking ahead, both had not noticed that the two behind had stopped. The distance between them had widened.Taking advantage of Liberty and Duncan’s oblivion, Caroline quickly cupped Darren’s face, tiptoed, and kissed his warm lips.Darren immediately tightened his arms around her, turning his passiveness into action, and deepening the kiss. The two were clearly in love, but Darren never took the initiative in intimate gestures. It was always Caroline who made the first move.In Darren’s eyes, Caroline

Among the younger generation of the Fisher family, very few could work at the headquarters of Fisher Enterprise. Most of them worked in subsidiaries, no different from ordinary workers.They worked themselves to the bone for a monthly salary of four to five thousand dollars as being part of the Fisher family did not guarantee them high-paying jobs. Those without ability and who were lazy could not even get into the subsidiaries.When Belinda was alive, she had made it clear that the Fisher family’s companies would not support idle people. Those who wanted to slack off and collect a paycheck for doing nothing were dreaming!The biggest benefit of being part of the family was that during holidays, they could receive gifts and a generous bonus from Fisher Enterprise.These holiday gifts and bonuses were distributed uniformly, regardless of age or seniority. Everyone received the same amount—a newborn baby received the same as an eighty-year-old elder.After some thought, Liberty said

Duncan said, “I’m not picky. Whatever you serve me, I’ll eat. Let’s start with a bowl of soup.”He was very cooperative. Indeed, this was how they usually interacted as a couple. He took care of Liberty, and Liberty took care of him.Liberty served him a bowl of soup and then grabbed some food for him. Duncan immediately grabbed some of her favorite dishes and placed them on her plate.Caroline and Darren sat across from them.“How long do you plan to stay this time, Mr. Lewis?” Caroline asked.Although she had said that Fisher Manor was Duncan’s home too, she knew that Duncan’s roots were in Wiltspoon. His career, friends, and family were all there, so he preferred to stay in Wiltspoon.“I’ll go back once Liberty’s work settles down,” Duncan replied.He planned to stay until Liberty had established a firm foothold in the Fisher family.Caroline smiled and looked at Liberty, saying, “Liberty, you’ve chosen the right person this time.

“Your company is also very busy. What about your work now that you’re here?”“I have so many managers. If they can’t handle the company affairs, then what’s the point of having them? If worse comes to worst, my three brothers are there too. They’ll help out when they have time.”“Josh and Zachary will also keep an eye on things. Don’t worry, Lewis & Co. won’t collapse just because I’m away.”For Duncan, at this moment, nothing was more important than his wife.Lewis & Co. had his three brothers overseeing things, along with the management team he had trained and promoted. He did not need to worry.After all, he was currently disabled.Whenever his brothers complained about having to manage the company for him, he would just say he was so useless now, even walking was a struggle.Then, his brothers would feel sorry for him and stop complaining, dutifully taking care of the company for him.The group entered the house.“Let’s eat first,” Caroline said.Once inside, the warmth o

The next day, Liberty only woke up at noon. She had barely managed to fall asleep around four o’clock but slept through the morning. Reaching for her phone on the bedside table, she checked the time and was surprised to see it was almost noon.Liberty quickly sat up. She changed her clothes at lightning speed, freshened up, and then hurried downstairs.The first floor was quiet and only the sound of her footsteps echoed through the house.“Caroline. Caroline?” Liberty called out twice, but there was no response.She guessed Caroline might have gone out or was in the yard. The smell of food lingered in the house, indicating that lunch had already been prepared.Liberty walked toward the front door. Just as she reached the doorway, she saw Caroline returning with Darren and a few others.Liberty’s sharp eyes immediately spotted her husband.Duncan was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by his bodyguard, while another bodyguard pulled a suitcase.Caroline and Darren were also c
