The underground passage had three entry points; one inside the mansion, one in the front courtyard, and one in the back courtyard. This greatly increased the chances of escape. Even if there was no underground passage, they had also secretly mobilized a lot of manpower. When Belinda was about to truly try to perish with them, their men would take control of Mr. Gordon and his team and prevent them from pouring gasoline and setting a fire.No matter how skilled Mr. Gordon was, he was no match for the five elders who dominated the underworld decades ago. Although they were retired now, their disciples were big shots in various fields, who had networks spanning all major cities. Belinda was merely allowed to enjoy a moment of hope that her scheme might succeed.“Not only was she waiting there, but also wouldn’t let us pay our respects to my mother. The audacity she has to disturb my mother’s peace! If my mother knew she was so cold-blooded and heartless, she’d rather have raised a dog t

“She’s already been discharged from the hospital but hasn’t returned to work yet. Belinda wants her to rest at home, which is just a way to keep her away from the company. She’s afraid Caroline might find out about the plan and warn me. Belinda even gave Mr. Fletcher something to drug Caroline with to make her fall into a deep sleep and told him to take her away from Jensburg.“Belinda already arranged an escape route for Caroline, but Caroline refused it. Mr. Fletcher would never betray Caroline, so he handed the drug over to her. After Caroline was discharged, she personally handed the medicine to me, and I had it tested.”After a pause, Liberty continued, “Caroline's still a decent person. She didn’t grow up under Belinda’s influence and has a fairly upright moral compass. If possible, I don’t want her to die.”Audrey remained silent for a long time before replying, “Whether now or in the future, as long as Caroline doesn’t actively become our enemy, we won’t harm her. Her values

Corey and Derek Lewis were now quite open-minded about the matter. Their youngest son was deeply in love with Liberty, and as long as the couple was happy, they were fine with him marrying into the Fisher family because he would still be their son no matter what.Audrey continued, “Your mother and I only have three daughters between the two of us, and Seren is already excluded. She’s the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family, Zachary’s the head of the York family, and Seren will be the missus of the house. She cannot take over the Fisher family.“Remy’s parents are also very open-minded. They’ve stated that if Remy needs to marry out of the family, they won’t oppose it. Elisa and Seren might be able to manage a small business, but managing a large family like the Fisher family is another matter. Elisa lacks the patience to do both at the same time too. Her temperament isn’t suitable for it. She’s very proud and often makes light of others, which can lead to conflicts.“You’ve ex

Sonny missed his mother so much but still did not want to stay with her during his winter break and went to FC Manor with his aunt instead. It was because Jensburg was too cold for him. He was fine with visiting for a few days, seeing the snow, and building a snowman, but living there long-term was simply something he could not get used to. Once he had seen the snow and had his fill, that was it."I’ve had my mint candy, so now I can enjoy the view here at Queen Manor. Let’s make a lap before heading back inside. The men are all huddled together endlessly discussing business."They were all big shots in their respective fields, with plenty of common topics. It was rare for them to meet, so even though they were gathered to deal with Belinda, they cherished this brief time together. Thus, what was initially a two-person stroll turned into a five-member walk. Still, they chatted happily.Belinda, on the other hand, was not having such a leisurely time. After returning from the Fisher

Darren was the one who had been doing the work, not her.“You knew about me going to the cemetery, didn’t you? Did you tell Liberty about it? And the police went to the office looking for me. Did you stab me in the back? How much do you know?”Caroline replied, “Thanks to you, I was hospitalized for a few days and didn’t even have the strength to get out of bed for the first two days. I even needed Darren to help me. What could I have done in such a weak state? If I told you I didn’t do anything in the past few days, would you believe me?“I did know about your visit to the cemetery, but you weren’t exactly low-key about it either. You went with a whole troop of bodyguards and the cemetery has caretakers too. How could anyone not know? Everyone in the family knew, not to mention me. What, did you go there to set fire to our ancestors instead of paying your respects or something?”Belinda was at a complete loss for words at this ungrateful daughter of hers! How did she end up with s
