Chapter 4099
Author: Gu Lingfei
The price for one life was another life.

If they killed Caroline and Liberty, they would likely be caught within days. Then, they would face legal punishment, possibly the death penalty. What would be the point of that?

What they wanted was control over the Fisher family, but if they were sentenced to death, the Fisher family assets would only go to others.

“Adrian, a life for a life. If we kill someone, we won’t be able to escape—what’s the point of that? What if our plan fails, and instead of them dying, we end up dead? They have powerful backers and connections. It won’t be easy for us to harm them.”

Adrian said, “Mom succeeded. We’re her sons. She raised us with care since we were young. Are we really inferior to her?”

Jason muttered softly, “We are inferior to her. Not just her, we’re even inferior to Caroline.”

Adrian glared at his brother, feeling that he was boosting the opposition’s morale while undermining their own.

Hunter finally spoke up, “Your brother is right.

    If they had known that their biological sister would be so treacherous, even going so far as to turn against her own family and side with the Wiltspoonians, they would have stopped their mother from bringing her back in the first place.Celine was so much better. Although Celine had been carefully nurtured by their mother, her abilities were limited; similar to theirs.If Celine had not died and had taken over instead, their mother would not have had to die, their father would not have castrated himself and become an old eunuch, and the Fisher legacy would not have to be handed over to outsiders. They would have only risen in position and power within Fisher Enterprise and commanded respect and influence; not in the miserable state they were in now and treated like strays, chased away wherever they go and unable to return home.Their mother was forced to take her own life, while their father’s health deteriorated after his castration. They had lost so much.The vast majority of t

    Although Hunter said that, he knew only Caroline possessed the cruelty all the Fisher matriarchs had. Belinda was biased toward Caroline in the later stages because she realized Caroline was the only one who had the competence and ruthlessness of the eldest daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter whom she loved and wanted to protect did not share the same goals as she did. Sometimes, Hunter would think, ‘If the butler hadn’t switched our daughters and Caroline had grown up in the Fisher family, would she have been capable enough to hold her own against the powerful families of Wiltspoon?’One thing was for sure—even if Caroline could not go up against them, she would not be treating her parents and brothers like how she was now. “That Fletcher guy is unpredictable. We don’t know how capable he is,” said Justin. Jason said, “No matter how capable he is, he’s alone. Everyone has weaknesses. We can definitely think of a way to tackle him. Even if we can’t eliminate him, I still h

    Caroline’s cheeks were red. She told Liberty, “I really hate these parties.”“I don’t like them either, but it can’t be helped.”Even if they chose not to take over as matriarch, they still had their businesses; attending events was inevitable. Caroline patted Liberty’s shoulder. She smiled. “I won’t be doing these with you in the future. Everyone puts on a facade and speaks without sincerity. I hate these pretentious events the most.”“I won’t let your hopes down,” said Liberty. Darren brought two cups of honey water. He passed the cups to Caroline and Liberty and said, “Drink some honey water. It’ll make you two feel better.”“I’m not drunk.”Caroline muttered, yet she still accepted the cup. “Your face is already red from drinking. You’re drunk, just not knocked out.”Liberty also felt slightly drunk but still alert, like Caroline. She could still reason. Since they had drunk alcohol, they became more talkative and kept chatting. “Darren.”After finishing the ho

    Darren was worried. “It’s too dangerous, Ms. Caroline. You don’t know how to fight. What if…”He could not bear the consequences of Caroline being harmed. Although Caroline would not be the matriarch, he was already assigned to her and considered on active duty by the training center. His responsibility was to protect Caroline and do her bidding.If something were to happen to her, it would be on him. The training center would hold him accountable because he would tarnish the center’s reputation. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Besides, you’ll be protecting me secretly. I trust you, Darren. I believe in myself too.”Caroline reassured him. “Although I’ve not learned self-defense, I did get into fights with other people throughout my younger days. I’m experienced in fighting.”After thinking about it, Liberty asked, “Do you really want to do this, Caroline? Your brothers don’t even treat you as their sister. You don’t have to put yourself at risk for them.“They might be going afte

    “My brothers think I’m the cause of my family’s downfall. They never had any brotherly love for me to begin with and are desperate to eliminate me now. Between the two of us, I’ll be their final target.“While they can’t get any of the family’s items after killing me, they’ll be able to inherit my mom’s private assets.”Caroline sneered. “I’m going to make a will. If something happens to me, everything I own will be split into three portions. A portion goes to Darren, the other will be yours, and the remaining will be donated.”“Caroline!”“Ms. Caroline!”Liberty and Darren exclaimed at the same time. Liberty said sternly, “Don’t say such disheartening words. I don’t want your assets. You can leave them for your kids in the future.”Darren chimed in. “I’ll always be with you no matter where you go, Ms. Caroline. I’ll continue breathing as long as you’re alive. If something happens to you, I shall also leave this world.”He would stay with her, whether alive or dead. Caroline

    “Without Mom and Fisher Enterprise as their safety nets, they’ll be cautious about investments. It’ll take time. What I want is to end this as soon as possible.”Caroline said, “Just do as I say. It’s the simplest and quickest method.”She could not be bothered to trick the Clark brothers into committing a financial crime. Their intelligence, or lack thereof, was not worth her trouble. Since they wanted to kill her, she would give them a chance to do so. If she did not die, they would be the ones in trouble. When Belinda was alive, she told Caroline not to show mercy if her brothers were disobedient and troublesome. Belinda also said she could never bring herself to harm her sons. At that time, Caroline thought Belinda was truly cruel. Well, she was not wrong. Her mother could even kill her biological sisters. Belinda had always prioritized the Fisher family. She would not spare anyone who would negatively affect Fisher Enterprise, not even her own sons. Upon recallin

    Serenity said, “Our mom lived in that manor when she was young. Maybe she’ll visit you in your dreams when you sleep. If she were alive, she would’ve been happy that you moved into the manor and inherited her mother’s legacy.”Serenity wished to go to Jensburg and live in Fisher Manor for a short period because it was where their mother was born and lived for several years. The position of matriarch was passed from Tiara to Liberty, skipping Audrey and their mother. Upon hearing Serenity’s words, Liberty replied, “Mom probably doesn’t remember the way home.”Her voice was filled with regret.Lisa had passed away at a young age. She was unable to find Audrey, let alone her biological parents’ house. She probably did not remember a thing.Serenity sent another voice message, saying, “Mom will be able to find the way since you’re there. Zachary had accompanied me to visit our parents’ graves. I told them you had gone to Jensburg to work and would take on the Fisher surname. I aske

    “If they can’t change their habits, they shouldn’t affect Sonny and ruin his relationship with Duncan.”Sonny would be living with Liberty and Duncan in the future. It would be terrible if he came to dislike his stepfather due to the Brown family’s influence. Serenity replied, “Sonny’s smart. The Browns won’t easily influence him. We raised him ourselves. The only way it’ll happen is if the Browns’ genetics are stronger than yours.”She knew her nephew was intelligent despite his age and he knew how to differentiate between good and evil.The Brown family would not be a bad influence on Sonny unless he inherited their personality from Hank. “Try to prevent Sonny from staying with the Browns as much as possible. We both know Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s characters. There’s no telling whether they’ll change Sonny or not.“Once this semester ends, Sonny will be transferred to a preschool in Jensburg. We won’t have to be as worried as he’ll be away from the Browns and can only communicate

    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. She looked from the entrance of the dining area

    “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

They enjoyed a life of indulgence, spending money like it was water, and were flattered and fawned over by others.Suddenly, they fell from the clouds to the cold, hard ground.No one flattered them anymore.
