Chapter 2036
Kevin was still unaware that Hank was no longer in a life-threatening condition. He would not pay attention to a b*stard’s situation anyway. He only knew that the Brown family utterly regretted their decision. “The b*stard’s mother and sister are even thinking of getting him and Liberty to remarry. Liberty isn’t that stupid. Why will she jump into the same trap after barely escaping from it? They’re just feeling regret because her life improved after the divorce.“Although the mistress got married to the b*stard and became his wife, she never gave birth to a child. She was pregnant, but the baby was lost after she had a fall. It’s retribution. I’ve always heard that what goes around comes around and that it’s just a matter of time.“I used to think it was merely a saying. If retribution existed, there wouldn’t be so many people doing bad things. However, I believed in the saying after seeing how the Brown family ended up.”Hank and his family were the fastest examples of retri
Chapter 2037
Kevin was happy. He said, “You have good taste, Hayden. The York family’s men are all great people. We’re definitely not b*stards. It’s fine that you admire all of us, but I wish you could admire me more.”Hayden looked toward him and asked, “Kevin, was I the candidate your grandmother chose to be your wife?”She had thought of that question for some time. The York family’s actions only made sense if that was the case. Besides, it was strange that Kevin knew that she was a woman so easily. Hayden did not believe Kevin had sharp eyes to recognize her as a woman at first sight. They had not spent much time with each other either. No matter how clever Kevin was, he did not have such discerning eyes. She had disguised herself as a man for over twenty years, and no one ever found out. How could Kevin determine that she was a woman just after meeting her several times?However, it would be possible if Old Mrs. York had noticed it. She was skilled in obtaining intel when she was yo
Chapter 2038
Hayden stood up. Her smile disappeared, and her expression turned stern. She warned Kevin in a cold voice, “If you dare expose my secret, I’ll never let you off.”Kevin never took her warning to heart at all, but he said, “Why will I leak your secret? If other people were to find out that you’re a woman and fall in love with you, won’t I be attracting love rivals myself?“I already have a bunch of rivals now. I don’t want to have more of them. I must be the most pitiful man to have so many females as love rivals.”Hayden said coldly, “You brought this upon yourself.”After that, she pushed her chair back and left. She never asked him to pursue her anyway. Kevin never went after her. He said loudly, “Remember to be back home for the grilled fish. Do invite my future brother-in-law as well.”Hayden said, “Who’s your brother-in-law? Can you have some sense of shame, Kevin?”“You’re not my brother-in-law, of course. I act properly when I’m with other people, but I’m only shameles
Chapter 2039
A hint of coldness flashed across Madam Fisher’s eyes. Celine actually believed in the words she spoke casually. Caroline was her biological daughter, at least. Although Celine was innocent, she had to pay for her father’s sins. Madam Fisher concealed her coldness and consoled Celine gently, “Alright. Don’t cry. He’s the third young master of the Yorks. Isn’t it normal that he didn’t treat you politely?“Stop crying. Your makeup is all smudged from crying. You should go to the lounge to touch it up later.”Madam Fisher sighed. She added, “Cece, even though we’re considered a wealthy family in Jensburg, we’re not in the top class. The Queen family has a higher status than us, but they can’t compare to the York family in Wiltspoon. There aren’t many top-class wealthy families like the Yorks.“You ignored my advice not to offend Kevin and did it anyway. I can help you if it were other people, but I can’t do anything if the person is Kevin.”“Mom.”Feeling aggrieved, Celine sa
Chapter 2040
After wiping Celine’s tears, Madam Fisher said softly, “Mr. Queen is young and promising, and Queen Enterprise is stronger in finances compared to the Fisher family. They also hold a higher status in Jensburg than us. Mr. Queen will never be a live-in son-in-law.“That’s unless you can make him fall deeply in love with you and willingly become the Fisher family’s live-in son-in-law for your sake. Now that Caroline is back, I must let her take over my position based on our family rules. Even if I’m unhappy with her inheriting the position, I can’t change the rules.“However, it’s better this way. Caroline and Mr. Queen can never be together while you’ll be able to pursue him openly. Cece, if you like Mr. Queen, you must use the correct method to woo him. You shouldn’t bully others with your identity. You don’t have the ability to do so either because you have very formidable love rivals.“You have to think of a way to obtain Mr. Queen’s favor. Remember, as long as you can make him fa

“You should get out quick, Caroline. Don’t spoil Mom’s mood here. Look at how angry she is because of you. Just go out.”Celine pretended to be nice and persuaded Caroline to leave. She even went forward to push and urge Caroline out. Caroline simply allowed Celine to push her out without giving an explanation and neither did she put up any resistance. After pushing Caroline out of the office, Celine shut the office door with a bang. She was elated. Mom had passed a few smaller businesses and subsidiaries to Caroline to manage, and she had produced remarkable results. However, while it seemed that Caroline had full control over them, it turned out that she had been relying on other people’s help. She also presented her brothers’ efforts as her own. If so, Celine was relieved. So what if Caroline was Mom’s biological daughter? If she could not satisfy Mom, she would not be able to be the next matriarch. Mom would probably hand over the position to Celine instead. After
Chapter 2042
Caroline was aware of everyone’s thoughts. Ring, ring…After entering the elevator, Caroline received a call. She only picked up the call after seeing the caller’s name. “Ms. Caroline, I received news that the previous matriarch, who was your eldest aunt, did have two daughters. They disappeared tens of years ago. I heard they’re currently in Wiltspoon,”Wiltspoon?Caroline asked coldly, “Do you know where in Wiltspoon exactly? How are they doing now? Do they remember anything about their family background?”“The elder daughter of the previous matriarch seems to have married into the Stone family in Wiltspoon. She’s the mother of the CEO of Stone Group. On the other hand, the younger daughter passed away in a car accident sixteen years ago, but she left two daughters behind. One of them is the missus of the York family, the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon.”Upon hearing that, Caroline’s expression changed. She heard some gossip after returning to the Fisher family. She happen
Chapter 2043
“I can’t keep this a secret, Ms. Caroline. I got my information from them. They’ve already sent someone to meet Mrs. Stone in Wiltspoon.”After a moment of silence, Caroline said, “Okay. I got it. Keep it a secret from Madam Fisher for now.”Her mom would probably have to return what she had stolen in the end. It all depended on her choice. After ending the call, Caroline leaned against the elevator’s wall and stared at the ceiling. The Fisher family was a mess. If the rumors were true, her mom’s hands were stained with the blood of her eldest and youngest aunts. Her mom would even disregard family ties to fight for power. She was ruthless. How could Caroline make a choice?What did she have to do?Caroline could never be her mom’s accomplice. Although she grew up in a village, she had proper values. She could differentiate between good and evil. She would make arrangements again after confirming whether Mrs. Stone in Wiltspoon was her eldest aunt’s daughter. What
