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

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

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.
Chapter 4100
If they had known that their biological sister would be so treacherous, even going so far as to turn against her own family and side with the Wiltspoonians, they would have stopped their mother from bringing her back in the first place.Celine was so much better. Although Celine had been carefully nurtured by their mother, her abilities were limited; similar to theirs.If Celine had not died and had taken over instead, their mother would not have had to die, their father would not have castrated himself and become an old eunuch, and the Fisher legacy would not have to be handed over to outsiders. They would have only risen in position and power within Fisher Enterprise and commanded respect and influence; not in the miserable state they were in now and treated like strays, chased away wherever they go and unable to return home.Their mother was forced to take her own life, while their father’s health deteriorated after his castration. They had lost so much.The vast majority of t

Although Hunter said that, he knew only Caroline possessed the cruelty all the Fisher matriarchs had. Belinda was biased toward Caroline in the later stages because she realized Caroline was the only one who had the competence and ruthlessness of the eldest daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter whom she loved and wanted to protect did not share the same goals as she did. Sometimes, Hunter would think, ‘If the butler hadn’t switched our daughters and Caroline had grown up in the Fisher family, would she have been capable enough to hold her own against the powerful families of Wiltspoon?’One thing was for sure—even if Caroline could not go up against them, she would not be treating her parents and brothers like how she was now. “That Fletcher guy is unpredictable. We don’t know how capable he is,” said Justin. Jason said, “No matter how capable he is, he’s alone. Everyone has weaknesses. We can definitely think of a way to tackle him. Even if we can’t eliminate him, I still h

Caroline’s cheeks were red. She told Liberty, “I really hate these parties.”“I don’t like them either, but it can’t be helped.”Even if they chose not to take over as matriarch, they still had their businesses; attending events was inevitable. Caroline patted Liberty’s shoulder. She smiled. “I won’t be doing these with you in the future. Everyone puts on a facade and speaks without sincerity. I hate these pretentious events the most.”“I won’t let your hopes down,” said Liberty. Darren brought two cups of honey water. He passed the cups to Caroline and Liberty and said, “Drink some honey water. It’ll make you two feel better.”“I’m not drunk.”Caroline muttered, yet she still accepted the cup. “Your face is already red from drinking. You’re drunk, just not knocked out.”Liberty also felt slightly drunk but still alert, like Caroline. She could still reason. Since they had drunk alcohol, they became more talkative and kept chatting. “Darren.”After finishing the ho
