Liberty took Caroline’s hand. “Caroline, I wish you and Darren a lifetime of happiness together. Let go of the past hardships. We should always look forward.“Look at me and Seren. We’ve endured so much unfairness ourselves, but now we’ve let go of the resentment, and life has become so much better.“Those so-called relatives who once mistreated us now have to live under our shadow. Our happiness is the best revenge.”Caroline’s smile slowly faded as she fell into thought.After a long pause, she nodded. “You’re right. We should look forward.”The two women hugged, and when they pulled apart, they could see in each other’s eyes that they supported, encouraged, and wished each other well.Right then, Caroline’s phone chimed with a new message.She glanced at it. It was from Darren, reminding her to rest early.She replied, suggesting they go to City Hall tomorrow to register their marriage.Darren was more than eager.“Liberty, I’ve decided. Tomorrow, Darren and I will get our

It was already bright outside.She had been lost in that beautiful dream all night.Turning her head, Liberty looked at her husband and complained, “Why did you wake me up? That dream was so wonderful. I wanted to keep dreaming, to see my baby grow up, get married, and succeed me.”Duncan was speechless for a moment before he replied, “What kind of dream was so good you didn’t want to wake up? Who was growing up? Sonny? Are you planning for him to take over?”Would the Fishers’ family rules even allow that? It was unlikely. The Fishers had been matriarchal for centuries.“Before falling asleep, we were talking about whether I might get pregnant. Then I dreamed that I did and had a baby girl who looked just like you, not like me at all.“Of course, she was super cute and pretty, even though she looked like you. After all, you’re not ugly. Before you got the scar, you were quite the heartthrob, weren’t you?”Judging by the unmarred side of his face, he definitely had been.“In th

If he kept making trouble, Caroline truly might cut him off. He would regret it bitterly then.Caroline took a deep breath before stepping out of the car. Walking up to her father, she asked coldly, “Dad, what else do you want? I won’t plead leniency for them. My brothers need to face the consequences of their actions.”She assumed he had come again to plead for his three sons.Hunter stared at her, struck by how much Caroline resembled his late wife, especially today. For a moment, he seemed dazed, murmuring, “So alike… uncannily so.”Caroline was Belinda’s biological daughter, after all. Her mannerisms, personality, and even her appearance grew more like her mother’s by the day.“Dad, why are you here?” Caroline repeated her question as if she had not heard his muttering.Snapping back to reality, Hunter’s eyes sharpened with calculation.“Are you and Darren heading to the City Hall to register your marriage?”Caroline admitted frankly, “That’s my business.”“Last night, he

Yes, Celine was innocent, but was Caroline not equally innocent too?What Belinda hated the most was how the Dotts treated her daughter with abuse after the swap. If they had treated her even a little bit better, she would not have hated them so much.Their daughter had grown up by her side, showered with love and luxury, while her daughter had been abused and even nearly sold off. How could any mother not seethe with rage upon learning the truth?“Carol, you guys must have carefully chosen the time to register your marriage, so don’t let me delay you much longer. Just give me what I deserve, and I’ll immediately head back to Ashford. I’ll even leave you alone for the rest of the year.”Caroline sneered inwardly. Once she held her wedding and left Jensburg, it would be hard for him to find her again. He would never see her again unless she was willing to see him.“Isn’t it supposed to be mine? Usually, when a woman gets married, the gifts go to her. I haven’t asked you to put even

Audrey glanced at Serenity’s belly and said, “After I get home this afternoon, I'll check their wedding date. If it conflicts with your due date, I won’t attend.“I’ll just send a gift instead. When you go into labor, I absolutely have to be there.”She squeezed Serenity’s hand. “You should go out less now. You’ll exhaust yourself if you move around too much in the third trimester.”“I’ve barely gone out recently. Even Sonny’s preschool pickups are handled by Zachary’s staff now. I’ve stopped doing them myself, though I don’t think I’ll give birth early.”Serenity rubbed her belly. Those with experience told her the baby had not dropped into position yet, so labor was not imminent.“You’re at thirty-five weeks now, aren’t you?”Audrey asked, “I remember yours is about a month behind Jasmine’s. She delivered a month early. If not, she’d just be giving birth now.”Serenity nodded. In fact, she was thirty-five weeks and three days pregnant. She now had prenatal checkups every four
