Chapter 3762
When Darren looked at Caroline, his eyes were filled with affection; Adrian could see it clearly. Darren was outstanding, and while the brothers treated him politely, they secretly looked down on him. He was no Mr. Gordon; Mr. Gordon was their mother’s right-hand man and had watched them grow up, so they did not dare to underestimate him and respected him greatly, but Darren was their peer and even younger than them.Adrian held a low opinion of Darren. It was fine for him to be Caroline’s assistant, as arranged by the retainer training center, and they had no right or authority to stop it. However, if his sister were to pursue a romantic relationship with Darren, Adrian would be dissatisfied. He felt that Darren was not good enough for her.No matter how distant they were, they were still full-blooded siblings. Adrian naturally hoped his sister would marry a powerful man so they could rely on their brother-in-law for support in the future.Caroline sat across from her brothers. Aft

Adrian scolded, “Caroline, have you ever given us a single thought? We're your brothers! Even if we didn’t treat you well before, we didn’t actually do anything to you either. Can't you remember that we’re family?“What are we supposed to do if you give away the entire Fisher legacy? We don't even have a leg to stand on in the company anymore. Do you think that we’ll still have a future with Liberty taking over? They’ll kill us without lifting a finger just by driving us out of the company.“If news gets out that anyone who works with us is an enemy of her, do you think anyone will dare to employ us? She has the backing of three of the biggest families from Wiltspoon, and she’s on good terms with the Queens in Jensburg. Who would still want to hire us?“You may be capable enough to support yourself, but we aren't, and we have families to support. Your nephews and nieces need to go to school, which costs a lot of money. When your nephew grows up, he’ll need to buy a house and get mar

Her indifferent demeanor infuriated Adrian and his two brothers. Jason suddenly stood up, strode over to Caroline, and attempted to slap her. He did not succeed. Caroline swiftly grabbed Jason’s wrist with one hand. She had never gone for self-defense training—her adoptive parents had treated her poorly, so they would not have sent her to such lessons. However, she had been bullied frequently in the past and had some fighting experience, which made her quick to react.In a flash, she splashed the remaining coffee from her cup onto Jason's face. He was completely unprepared, having never expected his sister to be able to seize his wrist. He knew Caroline had never learned any self-defense skills and usually had bodyguards when she went out. Darren also often stayed close to her, ready to rush to her aid at the earliest moment if anything happened. They were aware that Darren also arranged for people to protect her secretly, as the head or successor of the Fisher family always had b

“Do you think you’d even have this much if it weren't for Mom killing Aunt Tiara and Aunt Alivia to seize it all? Your personal belongings are your business to handle as you wish, but whatever is within my authority is up to me, and you have no right to say anything about it. It won’t change my decision even if Mom were to come back to life and criticize me for it, much less you.”Caroline looked at her three brothers. “However, I do understand your anger and resentment, so if you want to curse at me, go ahead. I can take it. I won’t hold a grudge against you for that, but stop thinking about going back to Fisher Manor to take the antiques and valuables to sell for money. Those were passed down through the generations by the matriarchs and will continue to be done so. No one is allowed to touch them.“Even when Mom was alive, she never coveted those things. Don’t listen to Dad and rush to take and sell them—that’s theft. If Audrey calls the police, you’ll be in serious trouble. Don’t

However, her three brothers were different. They had grown up in the family and enjoyed all the riches and honors that came with being the young masters of the Fisher family, even though it was a matriarchy. However, with their mother as the head of the family, they still received a great deal.The time span was significant too—over several decades. Suddenly asking them to give up everything they had enjoyed was indeed devastating for them. It was hard to accept, and they were unwilling.Caroline sighed and said, “Adrian, you’re the oldest, quite a few years older than Justin and Jason. You know what the situation is like now. Think it through carefully and talk to them. We can’t compete with Audrey and the others. In the family, we have lost everyone’s support and trust.“In this situation, we should withdraw gracefully and return everything that originally belonged to them. This can help ease tensions and regain some trust among the family. At the very least, the mistakes our moth

Adrian thought to himself that his mother probably regretted her decision in the end—regretted choosing Caroline, who had a completely different worldview and was stubborn, over Celine. Celine’s death was brought about by his mother’s actions. She was worried that Celine would compete with Caroline, which led her to mercilessly cause the death of the adoptive daughter she had raised for over twenty years.With Adrian’s departure, his brothers followed suit. They even turned to glare at Caroline as they walked out behind him. Once outside the office, they caught up and asked, “Adrian, are we really taking leave? With Mom gone, the company is effectively leaderless. If we don’t take action, I’m afraid we’ll soon be kicked out of the company.”Jason whispered, “Didn’t Dad say to take whatever we can get right now? We need to find a way to make some money.”Whether it was Caroline or Liberty taking over the company, they needed to secure more money for an escape. Now that their mother h

“Now everything’s settled and Mom has lost and it was a complete defeat. Caroline doesn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt and isn’t afraid that Mom might come back in the middle of the night to settle the score with her.” Adrian looked at his brothers and said, “Mom favored her, can’t you see? The night Mom died, if she hadn’t been there, the three of us would probably have been in trouble too. Mom always wanted to give her a way out.“Mom’s suicide was said to be out of fear of the consequences, but in fact, she was exchanging her life for Caroline’s. Mom knew that after her scheme failed, she couldn’t keep fighting the other side anymore. Caroline pleaded with Mom not to go down the wrong path, and that’s why Mom chose to end her own life.“Mom knew that by dying, she would take the blame with her, and the people from Wiltspoon wouldn’t turn their anger toward Caroline. Caroline would be able to withdraw safely from the Fisher family. Mom’s assets have long been transferred to Ca

It was not that they did not try to regain their position; it was just impossible. This was Fisher Enterprise, the Fisher family’s company, not the Clarks’.Once Adrian and his brothers had walked far away enough, the employees entered the elevator. They did not say anything, but they all knew that the three vice presidents would eventually leave Fisher Enterprise.Everyone was aware that several decades ago, Belinda had harmed her own sisters to gain power. Now that her sister Tiara’s daughter and granddaughter had returned, it was for both revenge and to seize power.It was likely that Fisher Enterprise would soon have a new head honcho. However, this would not affect them much; whoever took over would still be a Fisher. They were just regular employees at the company. As long as Fisher Enterprise did not go under, a change in leadership would not impact their jobs. In fact, a new boss might even raise their salaries.The previous head of the family’s eldest daughter Audrey was n
