“That’s for sure. I’ve always been this pretty.”Serenity touched her face, self-praise. Everyone laughed and went to the living area. eAfter exchanging greetings, Caroline took out two invitation cards. One of them was for Audrey, and the other for Serenity. “Audrey, Seren, Darren and I have gotten our marriage license. We’ve also decided on a date for our wedding. It’ll be held half a month later.”Caroline looked toward Audrey with anticipation. “Please bring your family to celebrate with us on that day, Audrey.”Audrey accepted the invitation. After opening the card and taking a look, she handed it over to her husband. Darrell did not look at the card and simply held it. Audrey did not give an immediate reply. She asked after Caroline’s health first and found out that Caroline’s injuries were mostly healed and that the troubles in Jensburg were resolved. She also knew how well Darren treated Caroline. After a short conversation with Darren, Audrey told Caroline, “S

“You should get sufficient rest after giving birth and only return to work half a year later. Don’t start working too quickly. Labor and delivery are extremely taxing on women. If you don’t take care of yourself well after giving birth, the side effects will remain forever.”Serenity smiled. “I haven’t even given birth yet, Aunt Audrey.“I know what to do.”Serenity had taken care of Liberty during her postpartum. She knew what she had to do. At that moment, Josh came downstairs with his son in his arms and Jasmine behind him.The corners of his mouth had not gone down all day. Jasmine had been enjoying her postpartum period. She ate and slept well while Josh, Mrs. Bucham, or the nanny looked after the baby. She did not have to do much other than ensure she was well-rested.Everyone went to surround the baby. Since Serenity was pregnant, she avoided the crowd. Audrey also held Serenity back to prevent her from going. She did not want anyone bumping into Serenity. Not lon

Audrey glanced at Serenity’s belly and said, “After I get home this afternoon, I'll check their wedding date. If it conflicts with your due date, I won’t attend.“I’ll just send a gift instead. When you go into labor, I absolutely have to be there.”She squeezed Serenity’s hand. “You should go out less now. You’ll exhaust yourself if you move around too much in the third trimester.”“I’ve barely gone out recently. Even Sonny’s preschool pickups are handled by Zachary’s staff now. I’ve stopped doing them myself, though I don’t think I’ll give birth early.”Serenity rubbed her belly. Those with experience told her the baby had not dropped into position yet, so labor was not imminent.“You’re at thirty-five weeks now, aren’t you?”Audrey asked, “I remember yours is about a month behind Jasmine’s. She delivered a month early. If not, she’d just be giving birth now.”Serenity nodded. In fact, she was thirty-five weeks and three days pregnant. She now had prenatal checkups every four

“Dad, just give up. You might die of old age or illness, but not hunger. I won’t let you starve.”Caroline turned to the housekeeper who had stepped out. “Please have someone escort him away. Don’t let him block my path.”She refused to waste another second on this.Whatever was Darren’s was hers, and whatever was hers was hers still. Her father wanted her money? In his dreams.“Caroline! If you won’t give me the money, I’ll curse you to have a miserable marriage!” Hunter shouted as he was dragged away by the manor staff.Caroline replied icily, “Don't worry. Our marriage will be infinitely happier than yours and Mom’s ever was.”Hunter’s face crumpled.Caroline and Darren got back into the car and soon drove off.Watching the departing vehicle, Hunter muttered, “My life’s greatest mistake was marrying your mother and having an unfilial daughter like you.”No matter how bitterly he regretted his decision to wed Belinda in his youth, time could not be rewound; it would haunt hi

Yes, Celine was innocent, but was Caroline not equally innocent too?What Belinda hated the most was how the Dotts treated her daughter with abuse after the swap. If they had treated her even a little bit better, she would not have hated them so much.Their daughter had grown up by her side, showered with love and luxury, while her daughter had been abused and even nearly sold off. How could any mother not seethe with rage upon learning the truth?“Carol, you guys must have carefully chosen the time to register your marriage, so don’t let me delay you much longer. Just give me what I deserve, and I’ll immediately head back to Ashford. I’ll even leave you alone for the rest of the year.”Caroline sneered inwardly. Once she held her wedding and left Jensburg, it would be hard for him to find her again. He would never see her again unless she was willing to see him.“Isn’t it supposed to be mine? Usually, when a woman gets married, the gifts go to her. I haven’t asked you to put even

“Raising a daughter isn't easy.” Caroline acknowledged that much; few investments cost more than raising a child.“But you didn’t raise me. You raised Celine. The Dotts raised me. And before I returned to the Fisher family, I privately gave them a sum of money as repayment for all they spent on me.“If I were truly ruthless, I wouldn’t have given them a cent. If it weren’t for their schemes, I wouldn’t have been separated from my real parents or endured over a decade of abuse or nearly sold off at one point.”After she reached her teens, her adoptive family could no longer control her.The real suffering had been in those early years.Caroline remembered every grievance with clinical precision, without exaggeration.Later on, the Dotts had secretly asked her for money, but they retreated after her stern warnings.They had also approached Celine, who mostly avoided them. On rare encounters, she would give them maybe ten thousand dollars at most, and even told her birth mother C
