“Madam Fisher.” Hayden spoke in a raspy voice, “As I see things, Ms. Caroline Fisher is a delicate piece of art that needs to be handled with care. The last thing I want is for my security detail to knock over Ms. Caroline.” Since Caroline had caught Hayden’s eye, Hayden kept planting the idea in her brother’s head to go after Caroline. Hayden took a liking to the person Caroline was. Many took things at face value, having the opinion that Caroline was not up for the daunting task of taking over as head of the household. The Fishers owned many businesses that were managed and run by the head of the household. Caroline gave the impression of someone weak, small, and green. Hayden saw through Caroline for who she really was though. Nevertheless, Hugh said that the Fisher family had hidden depths, and going forward with dating Caroline would embroil them in the Fishers’ internal strife. Now that Hayden had witnessed Madam Fisher’s attitude toward Caroline, she had to admit

Kevin’s reply threw Hayden for a loop. It was unexpected for the question to come from Kevin. Hayden was right to suspect that Kevin knew she was a woman!How did he find out? Still, Hayden managed to pull herself together in a second. She firmly uttered, “I am a man. I can tell you straight in the face that I am a man.” She had been one for more than two decades. Hayden believed Kevin would not be able to read her tell. If Kevin could pick a flaw out of her disguise, Hayden could always improve the façade. Kevin kept a smile on his face. He walked around the coffee table to get to Hayden. Kevin looked at Hayden from a standing position. Not liking the fact that he was looking down at her from a height, Hayden stood up and met him at eye level. It appeared she and Kevin were of similar height. Truth be told, Kevin was slightly taller than her. “You said you’re a man, Hayden. Would you dare to take your clothes off in front of me?” Kevin leaned in, getting a l

Hayden responded, “Your name will be on the list of wedding invitations when the day comes. You will be my best man, but I expect a huge wedding gift.” Kevin laughed. “Of course. I won’t forget the wedding gift. My only concern is that I may never have the chance to become your best man, but I can be your groom. You can keep all the wedding gifts though.” With Hayden gritting her teeth in rage and tempted to kick him out, Kevin happily took off. Something good came out of tonight. One thing was for sure, his nana did not lie to him about Hayden’s gender. She was a woman. Once Kevin was gone, Hayden slammed the door with a loud bang. Hayden was not in a hurry to get downstairs in case others might catch her together with Kevin. There would only be gossip if they were seen together. She sat back down on the sofa, sinking her back against the seat. Furrowing her brows, Hayden fell deep into thought. How did Kevin know she was a woman?Ring, ring, ring…The phone rang.

Sophia said, “Yeah. The Yorks raised outstanding children.” Since Kevin was wooing her daughter and had his doubts about her daughter’s gender, Sophia finally saw hope again. Sophia had always admired Kevin. “Donald, what’s your take about Kevin seeing through Hay’s disguise? She’s been playing a man for over two decades. I wouldn’t believe she’s a woman if she didn’t come from my womb. Hay puts on a convincing show.” “What did Hay say?” “Apparently, Kevin had a gut feeling that she wasn’t a man.” Donald gleefully praised Kevin once more. “The boy has a discerning eye and a keen intuition. He’s definitely raised well.” Sophia had no words. “Honey, it doesn’t matter how Kevin saw through Hay’s disguise. The only thing that matters is that Kevin doesn’t swing the other way, and he’s pursuing our daughter. I’m in favor of this son-in-law.” “Me too.” Sophia grew certain that Kevin would make a good son-in-law. Although nothing concrete had happened between Kevin and H

“Kevin York has no shame. Mr. Hayden is giving him the cold shoulder, but he just clings to Mr. Hayden to no end.” Emma looked over at Kevin and commented, “Kevin has advantages over you all. He’s a guy, and I mean, a guy of power and wealth. The Queen Enterprise would think twice before making York Corporation their enemy. Mr. Hayden’s bodyguards couldn’t even stop Kevin.” It only fueled Celine’s jealousy further. After taking another large gulp of red wine, Celine asked Emma, “Where’s Caroline?” “I don’t know where she’s hiding. I didn’t see her.” Emma did not take to Caroline. For starters, Caroline grew up in a rural area. Sure, Caroline had a natural grace to her. It did not take much dressing up for Caroline to outshine Celine now that the former was back in her rightful place with the Fisher family. Still, Emma could not stand Caroline, getting the idea that Caroline was sly. Caroline behaved discreetly and meekly in the Fishers’ residence, but she quietly chippe
