Chapter 3102
After their marriage, Belinda was stricter with Hunter than their sons. It was not done out of love. She simply did not allow him the chance to cheat on her. “Celine also died because she wanted to get revenge on me. She seduced Adrian. Don’t you think this is enough of a reason?“Emma is asking for a divorce now. Celine didn’t only ruin our marriage but also Adrian’s. She deserved more than just death. I won’t investigate to find out if it was a murder or suicide, nor will I allow anyone to look into it using the Fisher family’s connections.“Anyone who dares to use my family’s connections will face heavy consequences.”Belinda then got up and left with her head high. Hunter watched her leave. He felt a mixture of fear, anger, and helplessness. Ever since he had agreed to marry into the Fisher family, he could never be confident before his wife. His days were better if his wife was in a good mood. Of course, Hunter and Belinda had their honeymoon phase. However, as Beli

Jason consoled his Hunter. He did not dare to look into whether Celine’s death was accidental or if her biological brother had pushed her off. Belinda had made it clear that Celine’s death was what it was and that no one in the family was supposed to mention her ever again. Hunter vented his frustration and sadness to his son. “I’m not going to your place after I’m discharged. I’ll return to the manor. I promise not to offend your mom anymore. I’m already in my seventies. I may be counting down my days, but I’ll be your shelter for as long as I’m alive.“If I’m around, your mom can vent her anger at me whenever she’s in a bad mood. That way, you boys won’t have to face an angry mother.“Jason, you and your brothers must be careful from now on. Although Belinda’s your mom, she prioritizes the Fisher family over you all. She can even sacrifice any of you for the family, anytime.“If you boys don’t want to end up like me or Cece, you must establish a career of your own. If so,

It was Liberty. She did not have a mask on, but she wore sunglasses and a cap too. She removed her cap and stuffed it inside her bag only after entering the cafe. Caroline said, “I didn’t want anyone to recognize me.”“Why? Are you in a bad mood? Shouldn’t you be happy that your competitor is gone?”Caroline took off her sunglasses and mask. After putting them on the table, she said, “I didn’t do anything. She didn’t die by my hands. “Even if I’m happy about it, I can’t express it openly anyway.”Liberty called a waiter over and ordered a cup of coffee. After the waiter left, she took a bite of a dessert and complimented, “The desserts here are absolutely tasty.”“Of course. Just look at which family owns this hotel.”Caroline smiled and added, “I heard the York men are all skilled in cooking.”Liberty replied, “I’m closest to Zachary, Callum, and Kevin. They’re indeed good at cooking.”“If a hotel is managed by someone who knows their food, the food in the hotel will defi

After a pause, Caroline added, “However, I still wish to compete against you in business. You should learn as much as you can. The business world is complicated and ever-changing. You aren’t ruthless as it is.”Liberty smiled. “I’m definitely inferior to you in this. I admit that.”She had worked for several years before becoming a housewife. When she started anew, she ran small businesses. While Audrey had sent her over to Jensburg with the support of several families, she needed to have the ability to manage the situation. Liberty had not been involved in business as long as Caroline was.More importantly, her business in Jensburg had just started. Caroline smiled. “This is the best time to steal your orders and strike you down. I’m sorry, but I’ve taken the deal you’ve been negotiating for a week.”Liberty’s eyes gleamed. “On the other hand, I’ve cinched the business you’ve been trying to secure for a month. I even felt sorry about it because you’re my senior in business a

Whenever she ate out and had leftovers, she always had them to go. She was not scared of others making fun of her. Having grown up in a farming village and was treated badly by her adoptive mother, her habit of avoiding wastage was completely understandable. Ten minutes later, Caroline drove back to Fisher Enterprise. As soon as she arrived at the company’s entrance, she was blocked by a few people. Her adoptive family was here. They must have waited at Fisher Enterprise for quite some time but failed to see her. They did not expect her to be out of office. Her brothers had spotted her in the car first. They notified their mom, who confirmed Caroline’s identity. Carmen brought her sons to Caroline. Caroline stopped her car. She was not afraid of these people when in her territory. She also believed they would not dare touch her on the Fishers’ turf. When they approached her, Caroline lowered her window and asked Carmen coldly, “What are you three doing here?”“Carol.

“Mom’s health has been deteriorating. She has to see the doctor every month for injections and medications. It requires a lot of money.”Jacob, Celine’s eldest brother, stated the purpose of their visit. “That’s right. Jacob’s and my salaries aren’t that high. We have to pay for our own family’s expenses too. Dad used to pay for all the costs, and you’ve also contributed money when you started earning some. Now that Dad… Mom doesn’t have an income, and you’ve left our family too.“Jacob and I are struggling to support our families. We don’t have extra money to take care of Mom. She has to get injections and medications frequently. It really costs a lot, and we can’t afford it.”Caroline turned toward Carmen. Carmen avoided her gaze and dared not meet her in the eye. Asking Caroline for money was her sons’ idea. Carmen refused to visit at first. The woman knew Caroline hated their family and that they had mistreated her since the daughters’ swap. In the past, no matter how mu

“Please make way. Otherwise, I’ll have to get the security to haul you away,” said Caroline sternly. There was no way she would let the Dotts take advantage of her. She was not even part of their family. Even if she was, she refused to let them suck her dry. “Carol, don’t be so heartless. I’m still your adoptive mother who has raised you. You and the Fishers should pay us for the effort.”Caroline retorted, “Did your family pay us? The Fishers raised Celine too, until she was a full-grown woman, but with more money and effort. If we must compare the amount spent on raising each of us, your family will have to pay the Fishers a larger sum.“Let’s not forget Marc Dott was the one who switched Celine and I at birth. Who else can you blame but your father for making such a grave mistake? You should blame your own family for being too ambitious.”The Dotts had planned to make their daughter the heir of the Fishers. Once she took over the family, they would then reveal the truth and

Belinda would also pass on some stuff for Marc to bring home to Caroline. In the past, Marc was deeply trusted by the Fisher family. If the Dotts claimed their child was sick, Belinda would lend a helping hand. With such consideration, the Dotts finally decided against killing Caroline. However, they treated her badly. Caroline survived her childhood purely due to luck. It was also thanks to her neighbors’ concern that saved her from starving to death. When Caroline returned to the Fisher family, an elderly woman who used to look after her when she was young had passed away. However, the woman’s daughter was still alive. Caroline gave that family a huge sum of money. She even arranged stable jobs for them in her own company to repay her gratitude to the elderly woman for protecting and feeding her back when she was young. “Even so, you raised her. You’re old and poor now. She should be repaying you with money since she’s so rich,” Jacob complained. His younger brother,
