“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

If he kept making trouble, Caroline truly might cut him off. He would regret it bitterly then.Caroline took a deep breath before stepping out of the car. Walking up to her father, she asked coldly, “Dad, what else do you want? I won’t plead leniency for them. My brothers need to face the consequences of their actions.”She assumed he had come again to plead for his three sons.Hunter stared at her, struck by how much Caroline resembled his late wife, especially today. For a moment, he seemed dazed, murmuring, “So alike… uncannily so.”Caroline was Belinda’s biological daughter, after all. Her mannerisms, personality, and even her appearance grew more like her mother’s by the day.“Dad, why are you here?” Caroline repeated her question as if she had not heard his muttering.Snapping back to reality, Hunter’s eyes sharpened with calculation.“Are you and Darren heading to the City Hall to register your marriage?”Caroline admitted frankly, “That’s my business.”“Last night, he

Caroline was already up. She had even personally made breakfast for the three of them.At the sound of footsteps, she emerged from the kitchen, still wearing an apron.“Morning, Caroline. You made breakfast? The cooks could have handled it. Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet. You should still be resting.”Caroline smiled. “It’s fine. I can manage light tasks, and it isn’t hard to make breakfast.”Today, she was going to register her marriage, and she was peppy from the joy of it.Indeed, Caroline looked far more spirited than yesterday.“I just finished making breakfast. You two have work, so eat quickly. I’m in no rush. I can eat later.”She returned to the kitchen to bring out the food she had prepared for the couple. Then, she went back to tidy up before finally removing her apron and carrying out her own plate.“Caroline, isn’t Darren joining us for breakfast?”“He’ll handle his own.”Liberty teased, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll starve?”“He won’t. He insisted I shouldn’t

It was already bright outside.She had been lost in that beautiful dream all night.Turning her head, Liberty looked at her husband and complained, “Why did you wake me up? That dream was so wonderful. I wanted to keep dreaming, to see my baby grow up, get married, and succeed me.”Duncan was speechless for a moment before he replied, “What kind of dream was so good you didn’t want to wake up? Who was growing up? Sonny? Are you planning for him to take over?”Would the Fishers’ family rules even allow that? It was unlikely. The Fishers had been matriarchal for centuries.“Before falling asleep, we were talking about whether I might get pregnant. Then I dreamed that I did and had a baby girl who looked just like you, not like me at all.“Of course, she was super cute and pretty, even though she looked like you. After all, you’re not ugly. Before you got the scar, you were quite the heartthrob, weren’t you?”Judging by the unmarred side of his face, he definitely had been.“In th
