Darren ended the conversation there. Even though he had Caroline's trust, he knew that it was not his place to interfere in her personal life.Caroline's lack of interest in Hayden was all that mattered.Darren dropped Caroline off at the Fishers’ residence. Seeing that Caroline was back, the housekeeper came out of the house and welcomed her with a smile. “Welcome back, Ms. Caroline.” Caroline opened the car door and got out of the car. “Yeap,” she responded. While walking to the main building, she asked, “Is my mom back yet?” “Madam Fisher doesn’t have any engagement tonight. She came straight home after work,” the housekeeper answered Caroline respectfully while walking alongside her.Caroline knew that the housekeeper was putting on a show because that was what he did best. He would be on his best behavior when her mother was home. Behind Madam Fisher’s back, he was on Celine’s side. Caroline said nothing and made a beeline for the residence. She heard laughter the
Married at First Sight Chapter 2318
Not feeling awkward at all, Marcus retracted his hand. He sat back in his seat with composure, but his eyes did not break contact with Caroline. Celine smiled and said, “Caroline, Dad chose Marcus for you. You should try and get along with Marcus. Although the Wrights aren’t super rich and powerful, their assets are worth at least a few million dollars. “Marcus’s parents don’t mind their son taking our family’s name. You know it’s hard to find a man to take the wife’s family name. Dad immediately thought of you when Marcus was happy to compromise. See how good Dad is to you.” Celine was gloating. The Fishers encouraged Celine to pursue Hayden. Although Celine had not made much progress, her family demonstrated their support for her to marry into wealth and power. Yet, Hunter found a mediocre husband for Caroline. Sure, the Wrights were worth several millions, and to an ordinary family, the Wrights were wealthy. However, they were considered poor to the rich and powerful lik

Hunter’s smile froze. Marcus was once him. If Hunter had something to show for, he would not have married into the Fisher family and become a sperm donor to Belinda. At least, Belinda was good to his family. His sacrifice had given something back to his parents and siblings. However, Hunter did not have freedom, especially financially. His wife only gave him a daily allowance of five hundred dollars to prevent him from cheating. He did not have the guts to cheat on Belinda anyway. Many women threw themselves at him over the years while he was already married, but Hunter dared not cross the line. He did not have the courage to talk with those beautiful women. He knew too well what Belinda was capable of and would be in for it if he got on her nerves. Even his family could feel her rage. After Caroline was born, Belinda settled down and reduced their bedroom activities by a large margin. He was afraid she would leave him now that he had lost his value to her. Cheating was the

Hayden would not even look at Celine. Yet, the man was nice to a country bumpkin like Caroline. “Mom, I’ll go with Caroline tomorrow,” Celine proposed since Caroline mentioned buying Hayden a meal. Madam Fisher said indifferently, “Don’t go, Celine. You know what Mr. Queen thinks of you. I don’t care how you approach Mr. Queen. I only want results. But Caroline is treating Mr. Queen to a meal, which will be beneficial for the company. You can’t ruin this for us.“Caroline, I don’t have a problem if Mr. Queen accepts your invitation. I’m happy that you closed the deal tonight. I’ll get you a new car tomorrow. You can pick one yourself at the dealership. Your budget is five million dollars.” Celine uttered with envy, “Mom, my car isn’t even that expensive.” Caroline replied, “You’re adopted, but I’m the biological daughter. How can you compare yourself to me? Celine, you should know where you stand.” Celine had no words and showed her mom those puppy dog eyes. Madam Fisher p

Belinda provided benefits to his family, but they had always kept a low profile outside due to her authority over them. Hunter also had to be meek in front of his wife, like a maid, and that upset him. He had no choice but to bet all his hope on his daughter. “Cece, I can’t change what your mom has decided. You should go to her. I can’t do anything. Didn’t you hear what Caroline said? I married into your mom’s family. I don’t have any authority.”“Dad.”Hunter said resignedly, “Cece, my hands are tied. You know what status I hold in this family.”Celine pouted. She knew her dad was telling the truth. He had no authority in the Fisher family. In the study room on the second floor, Belinda was already seated behind the table and waiting for Caroline. She said, “Lock the door.”Caroline did as told. “Why did your car break down?” Belinda asked. “It was tampered with.”Belinda leaned against the chair and asked, “Do you suspect anyone?”“I can’t think of anyone besides my d

Belinda would be over the moon if Hayden became her son-in-law. “Mom, Mr. Queen and I are friends. He told me not to fall in love with him and that he would never accept me. If I were to like him as Celine did, I’d get hurt in the end.“We’re better off as friends.”Caroline had a crush on Hayden, experiencing that natural sense of admiration that came with meeting an outstanding individual. Though after Hayden expressed his thoughts honestly, her admiration did not go beyond that. Belinda was silent for a moment before giving a hum. She said, “Mr. Queen doesn’t suit our family. It’s better if you two stay as friends.”Befriending Hayden would benefit Caroline as well. “Did you have someone you liked before you returned to this family?”She was concerned about her daughter’s marriage. “Let me know if you have someone you fancy. You can bring him back and let me meet him. I won’t object if he has a good character. Those who are financially well-off won’t marry into our family.

Belinda’s expression softened. She said, “You don’t have to mind what others say. They don’t want you or Celine to be the next matriarch.“The Fisher family has been around for a century. We’ve been through ups and downs. What else out there that we’ve yet to encounter?“We’ve overshadowed our distant relatives for many years, so of course they’d be dissatisfied and want to move up the hierarchy whenever possible. They must’ve been the ones who spread the rumors too.”Belinda could never tell Caroline that she herself was the one who had caused her sisters' deaths. Those who knew about it were all dead and all evidence was destroyed by her. Thinking about it, did she forget anyone?It had been decades since the incident. She would never admit to her crime if there was no concrete evidence. Her nieces were young back then, so any recollection they had was vague at best. Plus, they were difficult to locate. For decades, she had been keeping an ear to the ground about her nieces

Belinda sighed and said, “She’s indeed different from us, but the multiple DNA tests and results tell us that she’s our daughter.“Caroline’s features do resemble us. It’s just her way of doing things is too soft. She’s too weak for someone with Fisher blood flowing in her veins. I’m getting older, but I don’t know when she’ll be ready to succeed me. Otherwise, I could retire and take care of our grandchildren with you.“I wonder when our daughters-in-law can give us a granddaughter. I hope our first grandchild is a girl. I’ll feel reassured that way. If Carol isn’t capable enough, I can nurture our granddaughter to be the successor while I’m still alive.”Hunter started having ideas upon hearing this. Caroline was a better fit as the matriarch than his granddaughter. However, she did not grow up by his side. Their relationship as a father and daughter was distant.If Caroline were the matriarch, he would have to behave and be cautious.On the other hand, if his granddaughter were

Adrian and his brothers finally heard footsteps. They instinctively turned their heads, only to see a group of people, who were already very close, approaching.“Police! Hands up, don’t move!”Upon realizing they had been spotted, the officer leading the charge immediately shouted, drawing his gun and pointing it at Adrian and the others.The police had learned from the Dott brothers that the kidnappers were armed.The officers following Darren were from an armed unit and carried guns.Jason’s mind went blank. He could not form a single coherent thought.How had the police caught up?They had scouted the location beforehand, ensuring it was remote and quiet. It was somewhere no one would come even during the day, let alone at night.Adrian reacted the fastest. He immediately bent down to pick up the kitchen knife, intending to kill Caroline.All he could think then was that even if he died, he wanted to take Caroline with him. As long as Caroline died, he would consider it wor

Justin, seeing his eldest brother approach with the kitchen knife, hesitated and asked, “Adrian, are we really going to do this?”“What, are you having second thoughts at this stage, like Jason? Justin, we didn’t even cover our faces. She knows it’s us. If we let her go now, we’re the ones who will die.“Think about it. How much have we suffered ever since she came back? How much have we lost? Even Mom’s dead now.”When their mother was alive, the three brothers lived carefree and comfortable lives. Now that she was gone, they were nothing.Hearing this, Justin quickly said, “Adrian, I’m not having second thoughts. It’s just… We don’t have to use the knife. We can just throw her into the sea. With her hands and feet tied, she won’t be able to escape.“The deep sea is full of fish. She’ll be eaten by a big fish soon, which will leave no trace. That’s better than us using the knife.”The main reason was that none of them had killed anyone before. Although they had done other bad th

Her indifference, as if she did not care whether they killed her or not, infuriated her three brothers.Adrian stood up, turned around, and walked to the back of the car. He opened the trunk.Inside the trunk were two sharpened kitchen knives.“Adrian.” Jason walked over, his voice trembling slightly. It was his first time committing murder, and killing his own sister at that. Jason was a bit scared.“Adrian, are we really going to… chop her up?”Adrian picked up one of the kitchen knives and glared at Jason. “What? Are you having second thoughts? Or are you scared?”“Well… It’s my first time killing someone. I am a bit scared. Carol is our sister, after all. I... I can’t bring myself to do it.”Adrian snorted coldly. “You think of her as a sister, but she doesn’t see us as brothers. Look at what she’s done—every single thing has been a stab in the back for us.“When it comes to using a knife, once you make the first cut, the second one won’t be so hard.”Adrian handed the kit

There were still traces of blood at the corners of her mouth and under her nose.Justin and Jason worked together to pull Caroline out, and Adrian immediately tied her legs together before binding her hands behind her back.“Are you going to feed me to the fish, Adrian?”Hearing the sound of the waves and feeling the cold sea breeze, Caroline shivered.She did not stand up and remained lying on the ground.Adrian kicked her several times, venting his pent-up anger.Caroline silently endured it.After kicking her a few times, Adrian squatted, gripping Caroline's chin forcefully with one hand, and said coldly, “Caroline, there’s nothing more to say between us.“Don’t blame us for being heartless. You’re the one who pushed us to this point.“You only have yourself to blame.“Where are the passwords and keys to Mom's private assets? Tell us, and we’ll make it quick for you, so you won’t suffer too much.“If you don’t, we have plenty of time to slowly cut you piece by piece and m

“We can’t just keep giving them money, now can we?”Adrian replied, “That’s not a priority for now. We can burn that bridge when we come to it. If they do dare blackmail us, we’ll just send them on to meet their maker.“The only thing is they both have families. If we kill them, we have to kill their families too. That way, there’ll be no one who’ll report it to the police.“And it’s best to make it seem like an accident too, or else it’ll seem suspicious.”Justin and Jason both felt Adrian was right. If they were going to kill the Dott brothers, they might as well kill their families too.Caroline internally cursed how merciless they were. The Dott brothers thought they could earn some money from Adrian to live a better life but little did they know, it would bring destruction upon themselves and their families.What the Clark brothers did not know was that the Dotts were forced to say what they did earlier.It was not that they had not left yet. Rather, they could not, because

Belinda had done everything other mothers would have. She loved them, yet the three of them had gotten a smaller portion of her wealth than their own children did. Indeed, Belinda left her grandchildren with more money.After all, her grandchildren still had a long life ahead of them.Therefore, she distributed more wealth to them. The Clark brothers loved spending lavishly and kept losing money whenever they tried to establish businesses. They also had many mistresses and never hesitated to spend money on them. Belinda was partial toward her sons about their affairs and also persuaded her daughters-in-law not to get a divorce. In truth, she resented her three sons for being promiscuous and inheriting their father’s flirtatious traits. While Hunter may have been interested in other girls, he dared not cheat on Belinda because she was strict. However, he still had an affair the moment he spotted an opportunity.Later, Belinda chased the Clark brothers’ mistresses out of

Celine, whom they had cared for all long, was not their biological sister but the daughter of the previous butler. Celine’s father was ambitious. He tried making his daughter the Fisher family’s successor. Justin was speechless.“Free me, Jason. I’m already in your hands. Are you still scared that I’ll escape? Let me out. It’s too stuffy in the sack. I feel terrible.”Caroline made a request. Jason seemed to be the one with some lingering feelings for his sibling. Well, that was not really the case.If he truly had even a sliver of sibling love for Caroline, he would have stopped Adrian and Justin from kidnapping her instead of joining the plan. If Caroline had been fortunate, she could have had five brothers doting on her. Sadly, she was unlucky. None of the five brothers had cared for her. They all wanted her dead. Was she a failure as a person, or were they too cruel?Jason said, “Just stay put, Caroline. We’ll let you out when we arrive.”They could not release Car

Caroline could not beat them. Then, her mouth was gagged with a cloth, and her head was covered with a sack. Someone forced her into a car. She heard Adrian saying to his brothers, “Let’s go.“Tell Celine’s brothers to follow us. Assign a few people to clean up and leave quickly.”After that, Caroline heard the sound of an engine starting. The car moved. She could not see what was happening. While she was shoved into the backseat, her arms and legs were unbound. She removed the cloth from her mouth but not the sack from her head.Someone held the sack tightly and started hitting and kicking her. “Tie the sack, Justin,” said Jason in a hurry. The person beating her up was Justin. “I know it’s you guys, Justin and Jason. What are you doing? Let me go. Mmph…”Caroline grunted in pain. She suffered a punch from Justin. She held her head tightly to prevent any injury to it. Many blows landed on her body. “It’s fine even if you know it’s us, Caroline. You better stay

“Ms. Caroline.”The bodyguards looked toward Caroline. Caroline opened her eyes and said calmly, “Stop the car, but don’t get out. Only get out when the situation gets out of hand. Remember to protect yourselves.”“Ms. Caroline…”“I’ll keep myself safe. Don’t worry. I treasure my life. There’s still a long life ahead of me. I haven’t even started enjoying good days. I won’t want to die.”Caroline chuckled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. There was sorrow in those eyes. In the end, she and her brothers could not coexist. It made her realize how bad her luck was with families. She was switched at birth and mistreated by her adoptive family. She thought her biological parents would treat her well after returning to them, but it turned out to be the opposite. Caroline had many family members, yet somehow, she was still alone. The people who truly cared about her were Darren, Liberty, and some others. Caroline’s bodyguards knew she had been waiting for that moment.
