Hunter would not have the guts to do so either. Belinda could even chase her children out of the family, so why would she care for a husband who married into her family?She turned and left. Caroline saw her out. She also asked about Hunter’s condition. “Just keep him company and talk to him. Adrian will be here in an hour. He’s the eldest son. He should take most responsibility in taking care of Hunter.”Caroline gave no comments. The mother and daughter exchanged a few more words before stopping at the elevator. Caroline watched her mom leave with bodyguards flanking her before returning to the ward. Darren had poured Hunter a cup of tea. Hunter was being polite to Darren as well. No one dared to underestimate the matriarch’s or the heir’s assistants cum right-hand men. Even Belinda treated Darren politely. “Carol.”Seeing that Caroline was back, Hunter immediately smiled as she walked over. “How are you feeling, Dad? Are you better?” Caroline asked, sitting

Hunter knew Caroline did not wish to talk to him. He said, “I’m a little tired after watching a movie. I’ll get some rest now.”Caroline wanted to shift Hunter into a lying position, so Darren offered his assistance.She accepted his help.“Darren and I will be close by, Dad. Call us if you need anything. Adrian will be here to accompany you later.”Hunter said, “Why is Adrian coming? Aren’t you supposed to take care of me for two days? Are you unwilling?”“Adrian is your child too. Is there anything wrong with him taking care of you when you’re hospitalized? What does this have to do with my willingness? I’m not your only child.”Hunter was rendered speechless. He quickly recovered and said, “Adrian has to go to work.”“I do too. I’m busier than he is.”Hunter still wanted to retort, but Caroline used Belinda as an excuse, “Mom told me to come over to talk to you. She also assigned Adrian to take over an hour later.”Upon hearing that it was his wife’s orders, Hunter could no

Celine stopped crying after a while. She stood up and counted the money. It was precisely two thousand dollars.In the past, she would have scoffed at that amount of money.Fast forward to the present, two thousand dollars had become her accommodation and meal allowance for the month.Celine was in an even worse state than Carrie, who was in Wiltspoon.Even if Carrie did not have Mr. Longbottom’s aid, she still had a brother giving her some living expenses monthly. She would never go hungry.On the other hand, Celine had no one to rely on.However, she refused to leave Jensburg just like that.She wanted revenge against her sisters-in-law.The three Fisher brothers had taken after Hunter’s flirtatiousness and took a fancy to have affairs.Celine knew their preferences and personalities well. More importantly, they still loved her. They would definitely grovel at her feet once she tried seducing them.She would make them enamored with her to make their wives angry.She was no

Caroline was clueless about Darren’s feelings for her. There was no need for her to know unless she revealed that she had fallen in love with him first. Only then would he expose a trickle of his love to show her that he felt the same. The education Darren had received since he was young had made him unable to express his feelings. Therefore, he simply cared for Caroline secretly. If she were to marry another man, he would sincerely wish for her happiness and remain by her side as a competent and trustworthy assistant. When Caroline bore a child, he could even help take care of the child. In this life, Darren belonged to Caroline; never leaving her until his time in the world was up. At that moment, someone knocked on the door. “Come in.”Caroline guessed it would be Adrian. She did not open the door for him but let him enter the ward himself. Indeed, it was Adrian. He had a bouquet and fruit basket in his hands. When he spotted Caroline and Darren in the guest area

Liberty and Hayden did not go upstairs, but Kevin did. He would surely tell them about everything that happened upstairs.Hunter said, “Liberty is a descendant of your eldest aunt. She came here for the position of matriarch. She’ll definitely expose the incident to embarrass us. That’ll eliminate one of her competitors as well.“Cece may not be my biological daughter, but she grew up in our family. We didn’t even know she wasn’t our daughter until two years ago. With over twenty years of love bond, your mom might still let her inherit the position.”“But… I think Cece doesn’t stand a chance now.”Adrian added, “Do you think my brothers and I have a chance, Dad? Ever since our affairs were exposed, Mom has been prioritizing Caroline. With Mr. Fletcher’s help, Caroline’s position is now stable. On the contrary, we’re gradually becoming insignificant to the company.“Caroline isn’t close to us. She has never treated me as her brother. I admit that I’ve never accepted her as my siste
