Chapter 4092
Kade had already done everything he could to help Maria’s family. It was his parents who were worried that Maria’s family business being in trouble would drag him down, so they no longer supported him being with Maria.His mother nagged him about it every day, and after hearing it so often, he became frustrated and did not know what to do. On top of that, he did not fully understand his own feelings. He was not sure whether what he felt for Maria was friendship or love.While he was struggling with this, his company arranged for him to return to Huntington to take over all their domestic business. He took this opportunity to give himself some time to think—was he truly in love with Maria, or was it just friendship?When he heard Imogen say she wanted to match Maria with her cousin, Kade felt a pang of panic and fear of losing her. This gave him a moment of clarity and he realized that he did have romantic feelings for Maria. He was in love with her. Dylan chimed in, “Mr. But
Chapter 4093
Imogen sighed softly and said in a low voice, “If that's the reason, I actually hope they cut ties completely, because the Butchers already look down on Maria. Even if Kade persists, once Maria marries into the Butcher family, she’ll be treated poorly by her in-laws.“A woman who isn’t liked by her in-laws will have a hard time, unless she doesn’t live with them and her husband supports her unconditionally no matter what happens.“Otherwise, it’s easy for conflicts to arise. If they argue every few days, even the strongest feelings will fade over time.”Dylan asked in confusion, “If you think that way, why are you still encouraging them to be together? Are you worried that your families will try to matchmake you two?”Imogen laughed at him, “You wish, don’t you? Stop flattering yourself. I used to love you, but you made it clear that I’m not the one you love, so we’re completely over.“Now, at most, we’re just friends. And the only reason I’m nice to you is out of respect for your
Chapter 4094
Caroline stood at the entrance of the manor, dressed in a fully red outfit and draped in a red fox fur cloak. Darren, dressed in black, stood beside her, keeping her company.After a moment, several cars slowly approached and came to a stop at the entrance of Fisher Manor. The doors of the first car opened, and the bodyguards inside stepped out.Soon, Liberty emerged from the second car.“Liberty, you're here,” Caroline said with a smile as she walked forward.Seeing Caroline’s approach, Liberty also smiled and walked toward her. The two quickly stood face to face, both stopping in their tracks.Liberty looked Caroline up and down and praised with a smile, “Caroline, you look stunning today. The red outfit against the snowy white backdrop makes you especially beautiful.”Caroline laughed, “Am I not beautiful on other days?”“You are, but today you're particularly beautiful. Mr. Fletcher, don't you think Caroline looks especially beautiful today? Hasn’t she completely captivated
Chapter 4095
Caroline thought Liberty was worried about having to shoulder the responsibilities of Fisher Enterprise alone after taking over as the matriarch, so she said with a smile, “I’ll continue to help you until you’re fully capable of taking over. Only then will I leave.”She had spent almost three years familiarizing herself with and managing Fisher Enterprise, so she had more experience than Liberty.Liberty had only been in Jensburg for a few months. Moreover, when she first arrived, she was busy with her new company and did not know much about the Fishers’ family affairs.When Belinda was still alive, she had been most wary of Liberty and would never have allowed her to learn about the Fisher family’s inner workings. Thus, Liberty was currently truly in the dark about many things. “I know you won’t leave too soon, but I still don’t understand anything. Taking over everything now would make it hard to gain everyone’s respect. Let’s wait until I’m more familiar with things before dec

Caroline had only been minimally involved in the selection process, handpicking just a few individuals. She had told Liberty that if the people she chose did not work out for Liberty, they could be dismissed once Liberty moved in.“Your three brothers are here to cause trouble again,” Liberty remarked. “Do you need me to go out and chase them away? After all, you are their biological sister.“You have to take into consideration that you’re siblings and not be too harsh on them. What if you want to reconnect in the future? You wouldn’t even have an olive branch to offer.”Caroline replied coldly, “What sibling relationship do I have with them? They’re only behaving this way because they’re in a weak position. If they were in a stronger position and I were the one at a disadvantage, I’d be in the afterlife by now. They wouldn’t have let me live.“They wouldn’t have allowed me to return to the Fisher family or to swap places with Celine. They would rather continue making mistakes th

“Caroline!” Adrian called out sternly, his face dark and serious. He asked coldly, “I’ll ask you one more time. Are you really going to hand over the entire Fisher legacy to Liberty Hunt?”“This was Mom’s blood, sweat, and tears of a lifetime! If you don’t want to protect it, you can hand it over to us. We’d be more than willing to take over. We don’t want Mom’s life’s work to become someone else’s gain.”Caroline looked directly at her eldest brother and replied, “Adrian, I’ve said it countless times—the Fisher family should have been managed by Liberty’s branch of the family. Our mother took it by force, and what’s taken by force can never truly be yours.“Mom probably regretted it before she died.“Now, our branch of the family has lost everyone’s trust. Even if we don’t let Liberty take over, do you think it would fall to you? There are so many young women in the family, all hoping to be the lucky one.“Rather than letting it fall into their hands, it’s better to return it a
Chapter 4098
Truth be told, Hunter understood in his heart that they were actually only doing this because Caroline was his biological daughter and they thought Caroline would become the Fishers’ matriarch. Then, he would become the Fisher family patriarch and become even more powerful than before.Hunter had not told his relatives back home about the internal issues within the Fisher family. There was no point in telling them as they would not be able to help anyway. He was also afraid that if he spoke up, the relatives and friends now surrounding him would drift away. He enjoyed the lively life he had now.“Master, the three young masters have returned,” one of the housekeepers informed Hunter. Hunter had asked the housekeepers to address him as “Master.” With Belinda no longer suppressing him, he wanted to savor the feeling of being the patriarch. “What are they back for this time?” Hunter frowned and added, “I told them not to go back to Jensburg, to stay and put roots down here, but
Chapter 4099
The price for one life was another life. If they killed Caroline and Liberty, they would likely be caught within days. Then, they would face legal punishment, possibly the death penalty. What would be the point of that?What they wanted was control over the Fisher family, but if they were sentenced to death, the Fisher family assets would only go to others. “Adrian, a life for a life. If we kill someone, we won’t be able to escape—what’s the point of that? What if our plan fails, and instead of them dying, we end up dead? They have powerful backers and connections. It won’t be easy for us to harm them.”Adrian said, “Mom succeeded. We’re her sons. She raised us with care since we were young. Are we really inferior to her?”Jason muttered softly, “We are inferior to her. Not just her, we’re even inferior to Caroline.”Adrian glared at his brother, feeling that he was boosting the opposition’s morale while undermining their own.Hunter finally spoke up, “Your brother is right.
