“I’ll head out to take a look.”Adrian did not let Darren enter but decided to go outside to look. He met Darren as soon as he arrived at the door. No employee in Fisher Manor could stop someone in Darren’s position. They dared not do it either.Elaine was simply informing Adrian of Darren’s arrival beforehand. Even she had no right to stop Darren from entering.Darren’s status would be equivalent to that of Mr. Gordon in the future. Mr. Gordon was a unique existence in the Fisher family. He was the person Madam Fisher trusted the most and her right-hand man. Everything Darren and Mr. Gordon did was based on Madam Fisher’s orders. Stopping them would be akin to stopping Madam Fisher. No one had a death wish. “Why are you here, Mr. Fletcher?” Adrian faked a smile and asked. Instead of answering, Darren immediately walked past him, through the living area, and went upstairs. His actions stunned Hunter and his sons. After a short while, the four men returned to their
Upon listening, Adrian wanted to follow them.“Don’t follow us,” said Darren coldly.Adrian stopped in his tracks. Hunter and his sons had no choice but to watch as Darren carried Caroline downstairs. Soon, they heard a car driving off and knew Darren had left Fisher Manor with Caroline. Hunter told his sons to go downstairs while he went to the study. After some time, he raised his hand to knock on the door. “Get lost! Don’t disturb me now.”Belinda’s furious voice came from the study. She was sitting before her table and was on the phone with Mr. Gordon. “I don’t care what it takes, Gordon, I just want Liberty dead.”She had decided to go all out against Liberty and was in a terrible mood. Therefore, she was enraged when she heard someone knocking on the door. She knew who was outside. “It’s me, Belinda.”Hunter called her name. Despite being husband and wife for decades, he rarely called her by name. Belinda ended her call. She threw her phone on the table a
“Do you even care about what happens to Carol? How dare you accuse me when you don’t even love your own daughter? Have you been sincere with her?“You must be acting worried about Carol now because you and your sons might lose your comfortable lives.“How dare you mention Celine? Yes, I do hate her family. I absolutely despise them since I discovered Celine wasn’t my biological daughter. I wanted revenge.“They switched my daughter and didn’t even treat her properly. While they were abusing Caroline, their daughter was enjoying endless luxury by my side. How can I not detest them?”Any other mother would feel the same. Initially, Belinda could not bear losing her relationship with Celine. She tried telling herself that Celine was innocent. However, as time passed, her hatred grew. Her motherly love for Celine gradually dissipated and was replaced with a desire for revenge. If Celine had chosen to lie low after the truth was revealed and stop targeting Caroline or thinking
Darren immediately stepped on the brakes upon hearing Caroline. He realized what he did was dangerous and quickly turned on the emergency lights. After checking that no cars were behind him, he parked by the roadside. “Ms. Caroline?”Darren turned his head. Caroline wanted to get up but failed because her head was spinning. She had to remain lying down. She wondered where her mother had gotten the unknown drug. It had powerful effects. Caroline only took a sip and stopped after sensing something was wrong with it. However, she still lost consciousness almost immediately. After some time, she regained consciousness. When she heard her mother’s voice, she remained still and pretended to be knocked out until Darren carried her out of Fisher Manor. Darren placed her across the backseat so she could sleep comfortably. It was better than putting her in the passenger seat. Although she was unconscious, Darren still wanted her to be comfortable so she could feel better w
After all, the matriarch’s assistant would be above everyone except one. No one would dare to disrespect the matriarch’s assistant. Darren pinched Caroline’s dainty nose. He said gently, “Have a good sleep if you’re still feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. Don’t think about anything else. “We can’t and will never regret once assigned to our masters. We’ll be loyal and unchanging to our masters forever.“I’ll remain by your side as long as I’m alive. I won’t regret a thing.”After speaking, Darren lowered his head and had the urge to kiss her. However, he stopped himself at the last moment. Caroline was aware of his feelings for her, but she had not given her a reply. Darren did not want to act rashly. “I’ll listen to you and contact Liberty now.”He patted Caroline’s head before taking off his jacket and covering her with it. He said softly, “I’ll take you to the hospital after calling Liberty.”“Okay,” said Caroline as she closed her eyes.She did not like feeling diz
Kevin got up and walked out of the house. Hayden saw it and followed him out. She walked beside him quietly and listened as he talked to Liberty softly. He told Liberty, “I suggest you return to Wiltspoon right away.“Although you have Jim and the rest protecting you, the Fisher family has over a hundred years of history in Jensburg. They have a numbers advantage. If Madam Fisher truly wants to fight till the end, you won’t be able to defend yourself well.“Jensburg is the Fishers’ territory, but Wiltspoon is ours. Returning to Wiltspoon is safer than staying in Jensburg for you.“You should hand over your work in the company and go back as soon as possible.“I’ll inform Zachary to arrange a private plane for you.”Kevin and Caroline had the same thought. They felt Liberty would be safer in Wiltspoon.After all, the Fisher family was influential in Jensburg. Even if they were not as powerful as before, they had family members spanning multiple generations scattered all acro
Clive immediately took a plane to Jensburg. On the other hand, Liberty sat in her office in silence for a while after calling Kevin. She thought, ‘Am I really going back to Wiltspoon?’If she did not leave and Belinda killed her, they would obtain evidence of Belinda killing her and be able to find Belinda guilty. Tiara and her family’s murder happened decades ago. Even if Patrick could be a witness, too much time had passed since then. They probably could not make Belinda pay for her sins with her life. That was unless Belinda committed a recent crime that warranted a death sentence.Liberty thought of being the bait herself. With that thought, she immediately called Zachary. When he picked up, she said, “I thought about it and decided not to return to Wiltspoon. I’ll remain in Jensburg and wait for Madam Fisher to make a move. We can only gather evidence of her crimes if she does something.“I’d be considered escaping if I go back to Wiltspoon. I can’t hide forever, an
Liberty said, “I’ll be careful. Don’t be too worried about me.”She was extremely busy every day. The places she frequented the most were the company and Fortress Hotel. The company was probably safer than Fortress Hotel. The hotel was open to the public for business. With the number of people entering and leaving daily, hiding a killer in the crowd was easy.“Aunt Audrey sent me a message. I’ll go talk to her now.”“Okay. Be careful, Liberty.”“I know. I will.”Liberty hung up and answered Audrey’s call. Meanwhile, Serenity, who did not know what was happening in Jensburg, was in WIldridge Manor. The old-timers enjoyed the environment in the manor. They initially visited the manor for a meal but decided to stay for a few days due to the beautiful scenery and Grandma May’s insistence. People of old age could talk about the past all night.Even Patrick did not want to leave. He thought Grandma May sure knew how to enjoy life as she had built such a grand manor to spend
