“After a few peaceful days, I learned about my true identity, and then it was a long road of investigation. Seren, don’t you think that we are ill-fated? Why do pain and suffering always find us?”Serenity comforted her. “Aunt Audrey, don’t say that. No one’s life can be smooth sailing all the time. We will encounter setbacks along the way. I’ve talked to Zachary, asking him to help investigate. With more people, we might be able to find some evidence.”“Okay.”Audrey had spoken those pessimistic words to her niece out of momentary frustration.“Has your sister arrived at your place?”“She just arrived not long ago. Do you have something to say to my sister, Aunt Audrey?”Audrey said, “Pass the phone to your sister. I want to talk to her for a moment.”Serenity handed the phone to her sister.“Aunt Audrey.”Audrey responded and asked Liberty, “Liberty, can you free up some time recently?”“Of course. What would you like me to do? Just let me know.”“In that case, free up a w

Serenity pondered for a moment and felt that her sister made sense.She was currently very busy with her own business, assisting Zachary with his personal matters, and also taking on some small tasks from her mother-in-law. She was learning how to juggle them.Serenity needed to work hard to become a competent lady of the house.The main issue was that she grew up in an ordinary family. Serenity would not need to work so hard, and she would have even less pressure if the Hunts and the Yorks were a perfect match.Serenity could not have anticipated that her aunt had the plan to push her sister into the head position of the Fisher family.The Wildridge Manor was a boisterous place. The Queen family far away in Jensburg, although not as lively, was relatively more bustling today compared to its usual quietness.Under their parents’ request, Hayden and Hugh had returned for the weekend.Hugh came back earlier and had gone to Jensburg Hotel with Kevin to pick up Hayden.The four o’c

As long as she returned home and Kevin was also there in her house, she felt as if her parents were conspiring to sell her to him.“Let’s go.”Kevin reached out and grabbed one of Hayden’s hands, trying to pull her along.Hayden instinctively shook off his hand, not letting him touch her. She coldly warned him, “Kevin, have some self-restraint. Don’t get handsy. Just because my parents side with you doesn’t mean I won’t dare to retaliate against you.”Kevin smiled and explained, “I’m not taking advantage of you. I just wanted to escort you downstairs.”“I have legs and I can walk on my own. No need for you to guide me.”Hayden pushed the bouquet back into Kevin’s arms and said indifferently, “I’ve told you, I don’t like flowers or things that girls like.”After speaking, she walked by Kevin and went downstairs.Kevin followed her with the bouquet in his arms, saying as they walked, “Then what should I do? I have a challenging task, Hayden. Mr. Hayden, since our relationship is

When Hayden approached, Caroline stood up and greeted her with a smile, saying, “Mr. Queen.”Hayden smiled unusually and asked, “When did you arrive, Ms. Fisher? You should have given me a call beforehand so I could meet you at the main gate.”Blushing slightly and looking a little embarrassed, Caroline replied, “I don’t work on weekends, and I was bored at home. I don’t have many friends either. It’s just that you treat me a bit better, so I took the liberty to come and chat with you, Mr. Queen.”She no longer had any illusions about Hayden, but he did indeed treat her with a certain gentleness. Hayden was cold and distant toward other young women, but he showed her a warm side.Hayden was still smiling at her, even now.Caroline found his smile particularly attractive.Even though he rarely smiled.She figured it was because he had so many admirers.Everyone wanted to melt his icy cold demeanor and become the one and only in his heart among all his admirers.If he smiled lik

Hayden, being so outstanding and good-looking, could easily captivate Kevin. Despite the judgmental eyes of society, Kevin openly pursued him, displaying both courage and Hayden’s boundless charm.Later, Caroline learned that her aunt’s two daughters were in Wiltspoon, and the second aunt’s younger daughter happened to be the esteemed daughter-in-law of the York family, Serenity.It all became clear to Caroline.She probably resembled someone closely. Judging by Kevin’s attitude toward her, Caroline believed she resembled Serenity.As Serenity was Kevin’s sister-in-law and it was said that the young masters of the York family held great respect for their eldest brother, Zachary, naturally, they would also hold respect for Serenity as their sister-in-law.Caroline also wanted to visit Wiltspoon to meet Audrey, and to meet the two sisters, Serenity and Liberty.Mrs. Stone was her cousin, the two sisters would have to address her as their aunt.However, it was not the right time ye

This meant the Fisher family’s matriarch was not a fool. She would not do something disadvantageous to the Fisher family. “Hay’s right. You can come over anytime you like, Ms. Caroline. We’ll be happy to have you.”Sophia had invited Caroline over because she wanted her daughter to learn to act as a woman from Caroline. Although there was not much hope, Sophia still bore some anticipation. Ah, she regretted it. She should not have raised her daughter as a son. Back then, Sophia simply found it entertaining. She would dress her two children up as boys whenever she headed out. It made people think she had given birth to twin boys.When the children started going to preschool, her daughter insisted on dressing up as a boy. She simply followed her wishes as her daughter was still young. Subsequently, she realized her daughter was already too far gone on the path of dressing up as a man. She wanted to correct Hayden’s behavior, but it was too late. Her daughter always intr
Chapter 2122
Caroline had been bullied while growing up in her adoptive parents’ house. Filling her stomach was good enough. She did not dare to be picky. Although she had managed to earn money, became a boss with a net worth of over ten million dollars, and tasted all sorts of delicacies afterward, she still was not picky about food. She accepted all foods regardless of their simplicity or quality. The food provided by the Fisher family was great. However, the kitchen never prepared the dishes Caroline liked as she was not picky. Despite not being picky, there were still some dishes that she particularly enjoyed. The kitchen staff was simply neglecting Caroline. Whenever everyone had a meal together, her mother’s favorite dishes would surely be served on the dining table. Celine’s would be too. There would always be at least one type of everyone’s preferred food. Caroline was the only person neglected by the kitchen staff. Caroline did not care. However, she included it in her observ

Hayden sighed. “Perhaps someone else’s child is always better.”Caroline laughed. “I understand, Mr. Queen. My mom’s the same. She always mentions how great other daughters are and says I’m stupid. She scolded me for being incompetent and useless.“My mom compares me to Celine often too. She said Celine was better than me and that she wouldn’t have trained me as her successor if it weren’t for the rules set by the Fishers’ ancestors. Anyway, she hates me in many aspects.”Caroline’s tone was nonchalant, but Hayden could sense the sadness in it. Although Caroline did not grow up by Madam Fisher’s side, they were still mother and daughter. It would be weird if Caroline did not feel hurt by the constant scoldings she received from her mother. “You’re a great girl, Caroline. You don’t have to care about what your mom says. I believe you’ll be able to inherit Fisher Enterprise from your mom.”Hayden consoled Caroline. She added, “Although Celine had grown up by Madam Fisher’s side
