“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

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

“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

“I wanted to return to working at the company and have Mom arrange an easy position for me. However, Caroline objected and said the company wouldn’t keep useless people. Was she someone useful herself? She’s the same as an idle person.”Celine had a lot of words cooped up inside her. She poured everything out to Emma. Her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law still adored her more. “What else did Mom say?”Emma was more than happy to see Celine and Caroline fighting. “Mom also said if Caroline doesn’t buck up, she might not be able to be the next matriarch. From what Mom mentioned, I still stand a high chance if Caroline doesn’t do well as the successor. Emma, tell Brother to put in good words for me when he’s with Mom and let me work in the company again.“I want to fight with Caroline till the end. In any case, I’m the successor that Mom nurtured personally.”Celine was confident that she could beat Caroline. Emma said, “We’ve all put in good words for you in front of Mom

“It’s all about Caroline, Caroline. Who does she think she is? She’s just a useless person. Even with Mom’s effort to help her, she’s still incompetent. We’ll see who’s the true successor of Fisher Enterprise once Mom gives up on her. Those people who looked down on me better watch out!“There’s also Mr. Queen, the man I have my eyes on. I want him to love and worship me one day. Mom is supportive of me pursuing him too.”Celine thought of pursuing Hayden first while she was not the successor yet. She would snatch the identity as the heir back after successfully wooing Hayden. That way, she would have both her Mr. Right and status.It would be perfect. Emma was looking forward to Celine and Caroline battling each other. Her husband would be able to benefit from their conflict. Therefore, she kept flattering Celine and made her think she was the most outstanding woman in the world. Back in Wiltspoon, Serenity was also paying attention to the Fisher family’s internal conflicts t

“You’re so beautiful. You’re pregnant, but you still maintain a great figure. Your charm as a young married woman is only increasing. Even Mr. Bucham is completely wrapped around your little finger.”Jasmine snickered. “Everyone in the Bucham family is feeding me like I’m a pig, but you say I’m maintaining a great figure? I think you’ll see my belly start swelling very soon, but because of the fats. With how much they feed me every day, it’ll be strange if I don’t get fat. I want to work out, but Josh won’t let me.“However, I can’t control my mouth. I was already a foodie before, but now that I’m pregnant, it’s become worse. My mouth is like a rabbit’s. It never stops.”As Jasmine spoke, she got up and brought two boxes of snacks. “I brought these from home. They’re new products made by the pastry chef at home. I think they’re delicious, so I brought you two boxes to try.”Serenity took a box and said, “Your pastry chef is really good at baking. I’ll give it a try. If it’s good, I
