Chapter 4295
Darren watched until Hunter was completely out of sight before returning to the inpatient ward.Inside, Caroline was on the phone with Liberty, discussing company matters. Though she was hospitalized, Liberty only needed to update her briefly on the next steps.Truthfully, Liberty could handle most matters independently by now. However, she still consulted Caroline, insisting that as long as Caroline remained second-in-command of Fisher Enterprise, she should fulfill her responsibilities.Caroline knew it was Liberty’s way of showing her respect.Not wanting to interrupt, Darren quietly moved to the guest lounge in the ward. He opened the small fridge, retrieving some of the fresh fruits visitors had brought. After washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces, he placed them on a plate and prepared some disposable forks to go with it before carrying them back to Caroline’s bedside.By then, Caroline had finished her call. Seeing him carry another plate of fruits to her, she com

An outsider listening in might have thought Hunter was cursing a sworn enemy rather than his daughter.Darren strode forward, his expression icy, until he stood directly in front of Hunter.The old man faltered mid-rant, momentarily silenced by the younger man’s intimidating aura. However, he then jutted out his chin defiantly, glaring up at Darren with a mix of bravado and wariness.“Y-you—what do you want?”Darren’s voice was steely cold. “Mr. Clark, your sons are in prison. Your grandchildren are minors. Your daughters-in-law want nothing to do with you. So tell me—who exactly is going to provide for you in your old age?“And not long ago, Ms. Caroline already gave you a substantial sum for your living expenses.”Hunter’s face twisted. “Y-you think you can threaten me with this? I-I have plenty of money! I don’t need her handouts!”Despite his bluster, his earlier arrogance had visibly deflated. His voice, too, had shrunk to a mutter.“Mr. Clark, my advice? Go home. Accept r

The crowd immediately turned on Hunter, criticizing him instead.Furious and humiliated, Hunter lashed out at the hospital security guards.“What business is it of yours? Shut your mouth! You’re nothing but glorified guard dogs. Why are you meddling in other people’s affairs?”“See? Now he’s throwing a tantrum.”The security team had long been fed up with Hunter. Every day, he stormed into the inpatient ward, forcing them to drag him out. The whole time, he would be screaming about them manhandling him and threatening to sue.It was obvious he was an unreasonable old man through and through.Anyone who knew Hunter was aware that he was not a good person.In the past, he had been timid, but only because his wife had kept him on a tight leash. After all, he was just a live-in son-in-law.When Belinda was alive, Hunter had orbited around her like a satellite and was the lowest-ranking member of the household.His claim to fame was getting caught red-handed cheating, after which h

Our parents raised us and took care of us as kids, so we would care for them in their old age—this was a virtuous custom of theirs.Hunter had not raised Caroline, but it was not because he had shirked his responsibility. It was the result of the former Fisher butler, Marc Dott’s malicious actions. Given the circumstances, it was understandable.Caroline said, “No matter what, he’s still my father. When my three brothers tried to kill me, my dad did advise them against it. He just couldn’t stop them. His mistake was not warning me in advance so I could be on guard.”Of course, she would not reveal to outsiders that she had used herself as bait. Only a few trusted confidants knew the truth.Even Hunter and his sons had no idea that they had only succeeded in hurting her so easily because it was all part of Caroline’s plan.They hated her and wanted her dead, but they would never have succeeded otherwise.“After I reunited with the family, my dad didn’t treat me well. He always fav

Sure enough, it was not long before the sound of Hunter’s struggling curses came from outside.“Let me go, you dogs! Let me go! I’m going in there to curse that unfilial daughter of mine!”Hunter even hurled insults at the hospital security guards.His shouts gradually faded into the distance and the hallway outside the ward returned to silence.Two nurses came in to change Caroline’s dressing.As they worked, one of them remarked, “Ms. Fisher, your father comes here every day to yell at you, and you just let him.”“He’s my dad. I refuse to see him, and he’s already furious. Letting him vent a little is better than letting him work himself up to the point of spitting blood or having a stroke—that would just make things worse for me too.“It’s better for him to let out his anger.”The two nurses could not say anything in reply to that.“Ms. Fisher, your wound is healing quite well,” said the nurse changing Caroline’s bandages. After removing the old dressing and examining the

Only a minority who claimed the moral high ground arrogantly criticized Caroline. Caroline ignored those people trying to guilt-trip her. Darren would handle them. She simply had to recuperate in peace. “I’ll go out and chase him away, Ms. Caroline. He’s been making a scene and saying the same thing every day. Even if he’s not tired from it, I feel like he’s talking my ear off.”Darren passed a peeled apple to Caroline and was about to chase Hunter off.“Let him shout. That way, he can release the pent-up anger in his heart. It’s good for his health. If he keeps bottling his anger, something might happen to him.”Caroline took a bite of the apple and added, “I don’t care what he scolds me. Those who like to gossip can say whatever they want. I don’t lose anything from it.“But I want my dad to stay alive and well. He should live until he’s eighty or even a hundred. He’ll watch me have a happy life. Even if I don’t inherit Fisher Enterprise, I still can be successful.”She ha
