“I’m sorry. I got nervous when I saw many people standing in front of the hotel and I stepped on the gas instead of the brake,” said the second driver who had the car parked and got off.It was a young woman, and she indeed looked nervous. She saw Liberty, who was getting up with some help. She asked apologetically, “Are you okay? I’m sorry. I truly am. I just got my driving license half a month ago. It’s my first time driving on the road. I still get nervous when I see many people.”The first driver had already taken his car to the basement parking lot and disappeared. Liberty observed the woman. She did look young and scared. It was natural to get nervous if her license was freshly obtained. Since Liberty was fine, she said, “I’m okay, but you should be careful. You can go somewhere with a smaller crowd and practice your driving. You shouldn’t mistake the accelerator for the brake again. Otherwise, you’ll hit someone.”Liberty and her group only managed to avoid getting hit be

“Are you free to speak now, Caroline?” Liberty asked. “I’m always free if you need my help.”“Let’s meet up somewhere then. You can choose the location.”Caroline agreed. She asked, “What happened?”“I just came out of Fortress Hotel and almost got hit by two cars at the entrance. They said they accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake because they got nervous seeing a crowd. There was a flaw though. I doubt it was simply an accident.”Caroline understood immediately. She said, “Are you suspecting that my mother was behind this?“I don’t think so because she isn’t around.”Although Caroline knew Belinda was not a good person, she still hoped her mother would not do such a thing. Liberty replied, “I don’t think it’s your mom either. She’s cunning, yes, but even if she wants me dead, she won’t use such a poorly planned and obvious scheme.”Liberty, Kevin, and Hayden had previously attended a banquet at Fisher Manor and they were involved in an accident on their way

Caroline met Adrian just as he was exiting the elevator. They stopped in their tracks. Adrian walked out of the elevator first. Caroline was in no rush to enter either. “Are you heading out, Caroline?”Adrian had a file in his hand. Maybe he had a document that required her signature.Since his mother was not around, the most crucial stamp of approval was Caroline’s. Many important documents would only be valid with her signature and stamp. Adrian usually assigned the task of obtaining signatures to his secretary, having rarely done it himself. Caroline replied, “Yes, I have some things to attend to. What’s the matter?”She glanced at the file in his hand. Adrian did not pass it to her. He said, “I have a document that needs your approval.“Can you leave a little later? What do you have to do? Is it urgent?” Adrian asked gently with a hint of probing. Unless Caroline was going to meet a business client, her whereabouts were mostly unknown to him. It was difficult to

“Mom.”Adrian laughed sheepishly. “Dad will do no such thing. Although he made a mistake, he still has you in his heart.“Dad’s living at my place, and he’s been talking about you every day. He wonders who will be there to take a walk with you when you’re in a bad mood. He even reads romance novels on his phone to learn how the male lead pursues the female lead. He wants to beg for your forgiveness.”Hunter was already castrated. No matter how pretty and young the other women were, he could not have them. Belinda had utterly cut him off from indulging in his desires. Nevertheless, Hunter disagreed to a divorce. Although he despised his wife, he was unwilling to get a divorce because he knew he would barely get any assets and leave with nothing. He could never win against Belinda in Jensburg unless he lived longer than she did. That way, he could utilize his authority as an elder of the Fisher family after she died. However, that could only be achieved if the new matriarch

Caroline said, “My eldest niece is ten years younger than me. She’s not suitable to be my daughter. If I must adopt, then my youngest niece who’s a few years old will do.”That would be Jason’s youngest daughter, who was only six years old.Of course, those were empty words. She would not adopt her niece as her daughter. Caroline wanted a child of her own. If she could not wed a husband, then she would ask Darren as the sperm donor and try conceiving via IVF.Darren was clever and capable. She believed that their daughter would not be inferior in any way. Caroline’s nieces were mediocre at best. It would be difficult to train them to become future matriarchs. Otherwise, Belinda would have chosen one of her granddaughters instead of helping Caroline rise to the ranks.Darren was loyal to Caroline. He would be more dedicated to protecting her and their daughter if they shared a daughter. It would be a win-win situation. Although Caroline did not want to admit it, among all
