Chapter 2305
Author: Gu Lingfei
It was evening by the time Hayden and Jacob’s discussion ended.

“I look forward to working with you, Mr. Rowling.”

Hayden stood and they both shook hands. Jacob smiled and said, “Likewise.”

“Let’s have dinner together, Mr. Rowling. My treat.”

Hayden looked at the time and invited Jacob, but he declined apologetically, “Thank you, Mr. Queen, but maybe another day. I have to be home for dinner tonight to celebrate my fifteenth wedding anniversary with my wife.”

“You definitely have to accompany your wife then. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Hayden did not force it and saw Jacob off to the first floor.

“I’m good on my own here, Mr. Queen. Have a good evening,” said Jacob as he stopped at the building entrance, not letting Hayden see him off any further.

Hayden remained on the spot until she saw Jacob’s car leave the company.

“Mr . Queen.”

“Mr. Queen.”

It was time to get off work and Hayden was the only one heading back in while most people were walking out.

    When Hayden returned, the secretary had not left and reminded her, “Mr. Queen, Mr. York’s still in the VIP lounge.”“Noted. Clear my schedule for tonight. You can get off work now.”“Okay.”The secretary could not repress his happiness upon Hayden canceling the night’s schedule. If his boss was not going to attend any business engagements, he could rest for the night and accompany his girlfriend. As Mr. Queen’s secretary, his days would always be busy. He had not been on a date with his girlfriend for a long time now and she had not been happy about it. After instructing her secretary to clear her evening, Hayden walked to the VIP lounge and pushed the door open. She saw Kevin sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in his hand. He was reading the newspaper, taken from the coffee table. He looked relaxed and not a bit annoyed. When he sensed another’s presence in the room, he raised his head and saw Hayden. He put the cup of tea down and walked to her before asking concernedly

    Hearing Hayden’s words, Kevin felt sorry that she had to work overtime. He was worried she would tire herself out. He said, “Forget it. You can attend the wedding on the day itself. I initially wanted to bring you around Wiltspoon for some fun if you could stay for a few days.“I’ll be wherever you are. I can be with you in Jensburg too. We don’t have to be in Wiltspoon.”Hayden’s expression darkened. She scolded, “Don’t you have anything to do? To think your brother handed over the management of York Corporation’s F&B businesses to you. If those stores go out of business, it’ll be on you. You haven’t been doing anything for many days.”If Kevin were as tenacious in running his businesses as pestering Hayden, he could definitely be a business tycoon. Well, as if he was not already one. “The industries York Corporation is involved in are stable. Besides, I’m not being completely idle. I handle urgent matters of the hotel too.”Kevin was always smiling, making Hayden want to pinc

    Hayden ordered her driver to stop the car when she saw Caroline. “What happened, Ms. Fisher? Is there a problem with your car?” Hayden rolled the windows down and asked Caroline. Caroline turned around when she heard someone speaking to her. When she saw Hayden, she walked over. “My car suddenly broke down and I don’t know why.”“I’ll have my driver check it out for you.”Hayden instructed her driver to examine Caroline’s car. The driver was not only cool-headed and mature, he was also good at driving and repairing cars. Hayden got out of her car and her bodyguards followed suit. After the driver inspected the car, he told Caroline, “Ms. Fisher, I think you should get your car towed. I can fix cars, but I don’t have the necessary tools now.”“It’s okay. I’ve called for a tow truck to take my car to a workshop.”Caroline had already contacted the car service center when Hayden saw her. The driver seemed hesitant to voice his thoughts but Hayden and Caroline caught onto his

    Hayden saw Caroline enter the hotel before telling her driver, “To Queen Manor.”“Okay.”Hayden rested in the backseat and pondered Caroline’s issue. Those who meant her harm were obviously her family. Madam Fisher and her extended family were the ones who truly wanted Caroline to be the next matriarch. Celine used to be the heir of the Fisher family but she was not Madam Fisher’s biological daughter. It was unlikely her extended family would allow her to be the successor.If Caroline could not hold her fort as the true heir, then the daughters of her extended family would start aiming for the position too. Hayden supposed that those who tried to harm Caroline were her family, and while her extended family might have known about it, they did nothing to stop it. Although Caroline was the Fishers’ flesh and blood, she did not grow up in the family, and neither did she have much chance to interact with them. Her extended family was worried that she would be even more impartial

    Even if Madam Fisher wanted Caroline to gain some experience in overcoming tribulations, she would not risk Caroline’s life. If the car had been hit by other cars when it broke down, it would be challenging to ensure that Caroline was unscathed. Madam Fisher might have seemed like she still favored Celine and mistreated Caroline, but she prioritized blood relations. Caroline was her biological daughter, who had finally returned to her. She would not risk Caroline’s life, no matter how ruthless she was. “That’s Caroline’s problem. We can just stand by and watch. Let’s not interfere.”If Kevin were the one who had met Caroline on the way, he would not have helped her. He supported Serenity. Caroline’s mother, Madam Fisher, was most likely the person who murdered Serenity’s grandmother. Hayden did not speak as she was aware of Kevin’s stance. “Is Hugh back?”“No.”Kevin added, “Donnie and Sophia aren’t home too. We’re the only ones having dinner tonight.”He would have a

    “Alright. I’ll make the plans. I’ll show you a good time tonight.” Kevin would do anything to get a date with Hayden. She looked at him and smiled. “I’m happy just to be with you. You’re a joy to be around.” Kevin chuckled gleefully. Hayden was the wife for Kevin. She was a reliable and practical person, so he did not expect her to be the type to say something sweet. Although there was nothing suggestive or lovey-dovey about what she said, Kevin still took it as sweet talk. He was so smitten with her words that he could develop a sweet tooth.During dinner, Kevin was attentive to Hayden’s needs. He would have fed Hayden if he could. She amusedly looked at the big plate of food in front of her and said, “You didn’t have to order so much food for me. I don’t know where to start.” Kevin proceeded to order dessert and another drink for her, apparently to help her wash down the food. Hayden had no words. She then did the same to Kevin, ordering additional appetizers fo

    “Yes, but I won. Well, now you had to place a bet with me.” Hayden’s heart went out to Kevin. “Alright. I mean what I said. I don’t go back on my word. I’ll take the risk with you.” Now that Kevin had her word, he jolted up and said, “Excuse me, I need to go to the men’s room.” With his hands over his stomach, Kevin ran to the washroom. Hayden burst out laughing. She could tell Kevin’s feelings for her were genuine. A while later, Kevin emerged from the bathroom. “Do you need to go to the hospital?” Hayden asked with concern. Straightening his back, Kevin said, “No. I’m okay. Let’s go for a stroll to help the food settle. Then, we can head out.” He had never eaten so much in his life. He was so full, he had an upset stomach. Fortunately, he won the bet. He won her promise of forever. She gambled on her marriage, but he did too. Hayden rose to her feet and docilely uttered, “Come on. I’ll walk with you.” The pair walked out of the main residence. Hayden took Ke

    Hayden said, “You owe it to your grandmother. She found out that I’m a woman, not you.” Kevin chuckled. “Of course. I have my nana to thank. If it wasn’t for Nana, I would’ve never known you were a woman. I wouldn’t have pursued you.“I thought my nana was trying to give me problems when I first got your photo from her and was told to woo and marry you. I wondered why she picked a man as my wife. “Nana then told me that you were a woman, but I didn’t believe her. You looked really handsome in the photo. “That was why I was against the whole thing at first. “I didn't want to pursue you because I was afraid of what people would think. I tried to expose you as a woman, but I was terrible at it. Your disguise was flawless. I bet Nana had a hard time figuring it out too.”It dawned on Hayden. “No wonder. I got a feeling you were out to get me for a while. You suspected that I was a woman, but I didn’t think it was likely since we hadn’t met much before.“What happened next?” Hayd

    Hunter could not fall asleep before receiving an update. He honestly did not like Caroline. He despised her from the bottom of his heart. Nevertheless, he still felt a hint of sadness when his sons were going to kill her. After all, she was his daughter with his blood running in her. “Carol…”Hunter murmured, “You should blame yourself. Your brothers couldn’t tolerate you anymore because you went overboard. You brought this upon yourself.“When everything’s over, I’ll place flowers on your and Belinda’s graves.“I hope you’re doing well in the afterlife. Just don’t come to me in my dreams too often.“I’m old and easily frightened. I might have a mental breakdown if you torture me in my dreams.”“What did you say, Mr. Clark?” Hunter’s housekeeper asked. Hunter immediately picked up his spoon. He replied, “I was sending my son a voice message. I wasn’t talking to you. You can go on with your work.”The housekeeper nodded.

    “Okay. You can go anywhere you want. I’ll always be with you.”Darren added, “No matter what you do or where you go in the future, Ms. Caroline, you can never send me away. You can’t do this again.“It’s too dangerous. Your life is at risk if something happens. It’s not worth doing this for the likes of those people.”The Clark brothers could have really killed Caroline. “This won’t happen again. It’ll just be this once. They’re not worth the risk. Let’s just consider this as paying off my debt of gratitude toward my mom for giving birth to me and for the love she had for me in the end.”Caroline added, “I broke all ties with my family last night.“Have you sent the money to my dad?“This will be a one-off payment. We probably won’t be in contact anymore.”After speaking, Caroline felt depressed. She truly did not have much luck when it came to family.“I’ve prepared the money. I’ll meet Mr. Clark a few days later after your injury gets better.”Darren wanted Caroline to f

    Although Jacob and Michael were older than her, Caroline fought back valiantly and threw anything she could reach at them. She even chased after them around town with a billhook before. Jacob and Michael were pale from fear. When Carmen tried to avenge her sons, Caroline did not hesitate to swing the billhook at her too. Her reckless resistance shocked the Dott family. From then onward, they no longer dared to hit her. Even so, Caroline had to live with them. Naturally, she was still abused. She could never eat and sleep well. She was not given nice clothes either. Marc Dott, who was responsible for changing her life, never stopped his family or defended her even once. Caroline despised her adoptive father the most. He ended up dying in prison due to an illness. Caroline knew Belinda had gotten someone to kill him. She did not pity Marc at all and even thought death was too light of a punishment for him. After Caroline returned to the Fisher family, Carmen and h

    “I want to touch your face, Darren.”Although Darren was still straight-faced and angry, he bent over so that his face was within her reach. “Look at you. Your face feels as hard as marble.“You shouldn’t let such a handsome face be so stiff. I don’t like seeing you with a straight face. I like it when you’re gentle.”Darren said unhappily, “I’m not a gentle person, Ms. Caroline.”He had received intense training at the center. How could he possibly have a warm personality after going through all that?He simply looked softer when he was in a good mood. Caroline probably found him gentle due to his handsome face and politeness. Despite his words, his expression softened. “Don’t be angry, Darren. I’m fine. I didn’t lose a leg or an arm. My head is still intact. I wasn’t chopped to pieces and fed to the fish.“I even calculated your speed and deliberately let them scratch my arm. I wouldn’t have given them the opportunity to injure me the second time.“It was also their fi

    It was possible that the caretakers of the Fisher family cemetery would not even allow her brothers to visit the graves.The Fisher family members harbored deep resentment toward Belinda.“Liberty, don’t worry. I’m not going to die. I don’t feel like I’ve lost out by doing this.”“Shush—enough with the talk about dying early in the morning. We’re all going to live long lives.”Caroline smiled again, “Alright, alright, we’ll all live long lives. Stop looking like the sky is falling. Seeing you like this makes me want to cry.”Liberty scolded her, “Don’t you cry. I’m just heartbroken, so heartbroken. Why didn’t you trust me?”“Liberty, it’s not that I don't trust you. It's that I don't trust my three brothers.”Liberty could not say anything to that.“Ms. Caroline, you must be hungry. I bought you a bowl of plain oats porridge. You have a cold, so you have to eat simple meals for the next few days.”Darren returned with a bowl of oats.He then said to Liberty and her husband, “

    Liberty had said that she would not bother with the Clark brothers as long as they kept a low profile or stayed away from the center of Jensburg, not provoking Liberty or trying to seize control of the Fisher family.However, Caroline did not believe her brothers would do nothing.If she did not put them away, they would do everything in their power to stop Liberty from taking over the Fisher family, and in the end, it would lead to the destruction of their family and leave them with absolutely nothing.However, this was a Pyrrhic victory for her.“She just wouldn’t listen and refused to let me get involved,” Liberty said as she sat by the bed, gently touching Caroline's still-swollen face with a heart full of concern.“Mr. Fletcher, you should use ice to help reduce the swelling on her face. It will help her recover faster.”Darren replied, “I’ve been applying ice to her face from time to time. Plus, even Madam Belinda couldn’t change Ms. Caroline’s mind once she made a decision

    Caroline had inherited Belinda’s ruthlessness, after all.“I’m heading to the hospital right away.”Hearing that Caroline had been rescued but was now in the emergency room, Liberty could not sleep any longer. She immediately threw off the covers and got out of bed.Duncan quickly followed suit.“Duncan, it’s still dark outside, and it’s cold. You should get some more sleep.” Liberty, out of consideration for her husband's limited mobility and his discomfort with the cold Jensburg spring, wanted Duncan to stay home and rest. She could go to the hospital alone.Duncan said as he changed his clothes, “No, I’ll go with you. I may not be able to walk long distances, but I can manage a short walk.“I’ll get the bodyguards to come with us to the hospital, so you don’t have to worry about taking care of me.”Although Caroline’s injuries were the result of her own plan, Duncan still did not feel comfortable letting Liberty go to the hospital alone.He was afraid something might happe

    Meanwhile, in the master bedroom in Fisher Manor, Liberty suddenly woke up after a two-hour sleep.She sat up abruptly. Her movement startled her husband beside her.“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” Duncan also sat up, turning on the bedroom light, and asked with concern.“I dreamed that Caroline was in trouble. She refused to let me follow her. Her plan was to just get injured, but I’m so afraid her life’s in danger.”Having spent so much time with Caroline, Liberty had come to admire this aunt of hers.If it were not for the grudges of the previous generation, she and Caroline could have become close friends.Even now, the two of them held mutual respect for each other.Among the Fisher family members, she only respected Caroline; even Hayden only respected Caroline.Hayden had even once considered matchmaking Caroline with Hugh. However, Hugh did not like Caroline, and Caroline had no feelings for Hugh either. Caroline admired Hayden, but Hayden was a woman.After
