After listening to Celine’s complaints, Belinda responded, “Cece, did you intentionally crash into Caroline’s car? Her car is new, and it’s a luxury car. I specially bought her that luxury car to appease her. You damaged it and refused to pay for the repairs. She froze your bank account, and that’s entirely warranted.“You always make mistakes and don’t reflect on your own errors. You constantly think that you’re right and everyone else is wrong.“Imagine if you were Caroline—your new car was damaged and the other party refused to pay for the repairs. Wouldn’t you be angry? Knowing your personality, if someone crashed into your car and refused to compensate, you might even feel like tearing down their house.”Belinda silently scolded Celine for not knowing her place. Caroline was her biological daughter and the heir to the Fisher family. She had the authority to freeze anyone’s bank account in the family and even reduce their allowance.Of course, as Belinda was still the head of t

Even though he harbored a great deal of dissatisfaction, Hunter never dared to deceive his wife ever since that incident.Luckily, his children were rather understanding and would secretly give him some money to spend, so he could live relatively comfortably.His children’s filial piety was something that Belinda did not interfere with. Of course, if he dared to flirt behind her back, Belinda would not be lenient with him.Belinda had warned him before that if he had the guts to have affairs, she would ruin him.Hunter believed that his wife could put her words into action.For decades, no matter how many attractive women tried to get close to him, he dared not make a single move.“It’s not a matter of having money or not, it’s a matter of who’s right and who’s wrong,” Belinda said seriously.Celine ceased her complaints.After a while, she continued. “Mom, even if I was at fault, Caroline shouldn’t freeze my bank account. Who gave her the right? She hasn’t become the head of

“You’ve rented out all the properties under your name, and the shops are also on lease. The monthly rent amounts to tens of thousands, which is more than the annual income of many ordinary people. Cece, you’re already doing better than many.”Celine, feeling wronged, asked, “Mom, are you blaming me for spending money?”“That’s not what I mean. I’m just telling you that you’re ahead of thousands of others, better off than most.“Alright, don’t be upset. I will be back in a couple of days, and when I return, I’ll unfreeze your bank account. I’ll also give Caroline a piece of my mind for you. However, since you damaged Caroline’s car, it’s better to compensate her. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to help you. After all, she is my biological daughter.”Celine reluctantly replied, “I’ll pay for the repairs, and when you’re back, you can comfort my wounded soul.”Belinda chuckled. “Good, I will bring you some gifts when I return, just for you. Cece, my feelings for you run deep. You’
Chapter 2526
Belinda had personally attended Zachary’s wedding in Wiltspoon and extended her stay for nearly two weeks. The purpose was clear to Caroline and everyone else.During this time, Caroline did not dare to send anyone to Wiltspoon to gather information, fearing that Belinda might catch them in the act. Nevertheless, she could guess that her mother would not have a smooth time over there.Wiltspoon was the territory of the Yorks, Lewises, Buchams, and the Stones. These four major families had formed a united front, making it difficult for her mother to achieve anything significant there.Upon hearing that Caroline was still working late at the company, Belinda’s tone softened a bit as she asked, “Celine said that you exposed your brothers’ extramarital affairs to their wives. Also, did you freeze Celine’s bank account?”Caroline admitted honestly, “Yes, I did both things. Did I do something wrong?“My brothers are all married with families. Shouldn’t married men be loyal to their fami

“As for her personal bank card, I have no means to freeze it. Couldn’t she spend her own money though? Recently, she’s been swiping the credit card you gave her quite recklessly, so I decided to take some action.”“Her personal savings aren’t that much.”Caroline laughed, “Not that much? With a net worth of ten million, do you think everyone is a millionaire? There are people who will never earn that much in their lifetime, and is she still not satisfied? Did she ask you to compensate her when you get back?“She intentionally hit my car. I’ve asked people at the car dealership, and they said it will cost tens of thousands to repair. If I don’t ask her to pay up, then who should I ask? She said it shouldn’t matter as we’re sisters. Is she really my sister? Does she have Fisher's blood coursing through her veins? If she has, then I won’t ask for compensation. But does she really?”Belinda fell into silence.“All those properties and commercial lots belong to her. When they’re rented

After setting down her phone, Belinda smiled with satisfaction and said, “She’s ruthless.”She was relieved, her biological daughter was a qualified successor.With Caroline’s ruthlessness and determination, Belinda had complete confidence in entrusting the Fisher family to her hands.Audrey might be thinking about bringing Liberty into the picture, but can she even compete with Caroline?Liberty was a single mother running a breakfast shop and a restaurant. She already had her hands full with managing her businesses in Wiltspoon and probably did not have the time nor energy to contest Caroline for the position of Fisher’s matriarch in Jensburg.With these thoughts, Belinda’s worries eased slightly.Of course, she still needed to figure out a way to tie up loose ends. If only the descendants of her elder sister were all eliminated, then the head of the Fisher family could be inherited by her bloodline.Although it was challenging, Belinda believed that over time, she would find

Caroline nodded and said, “I’d like to have some ice cream. Check if you can get me a cup of it on your way here. Any brand will do as long as it’s in a cup.”That way, it would not be messy to eat.She had always preferred to eat ice cream from a cup.Under normal circumstances, Mr. Fletcher would advise her against consuming something full of sugar, but given her bad mood tonight, a little sweet pick-me-up would not hurt and he gently obeyed her request.Caroline ended the call only after she got his response. She placed her phone on the desk and stood up to walk over to the window.The Fisher Enterprise office building was not as tall as Queen Enterprise, but it still had a few extra floors compared to the surrounding buildings. Caroline’s office was just one level below the top floor. Standing by the window in her office, she had a commanding view of the nearby structures.Jensburg was a bustling city, especially at night when the streets were crowded and illuminated by v

Caroline let others leave because most of the work she had to handle during overtime was related to her own company, and her secretary at Fisher Enterprise could not assist her with it.It was quiet outside.While some departments in the company were still working late, the floor her office was on seemed deserted.She left her office, walked through the open-plan office area, and headed for the elevator.At the elevator bay, she noticed a man leaning against the wall, holding a bouquet of flowers. When he saw her approaching, he smiled.Caroline had seen him somewhere.He was the guy Hunter introduced to her as a potential romantic partner. He was a wealthy heir named Marcus Wright.When Caroline's father was trying to arrange a marriage for her, she had her secretary, Mr. Fletcher investigate Marcus thoroughly and uncover his womanizing lifestyle.It was incredible that Hunter introduced her to Marcus, someone who only knew a life of debauchery.Belinda was on her side to ref
