โIs Aunt Tiaraโs assistant still alive, Mom?โCaroline changed the topic. She knew Belinda would not agree to amending the family rules. โPatrick went missing after Tiaraโs accident. I donโt know whether heโs dead or alive.โBelinda had sent countless people to look for him after she became the matriarch. Alas, it seemed as if he had evaporated into thin air. She was still searching for him. Patrick probably knew something about the incident. He could have some evidence too. He was a ticking time bomb if she did not find him and destroy the evidence. Who knew when he would suddenly resurface and testify that she had killed her sisters?Even if Belinda had a crush on him when she was young, she had to think long-term for her descendants. She would kill him once he was found. There had been no news about Patrick or her nieces for decades. She thought she could hand her position over to Caroline smoothly if her nieces died or never appeared. However, the heavens left Beli

Belinda said, โI truly donโt feel like eating. You should go. Iโll head home shortly. I promise I wonโt fall. This is a small matter. Iโll get better after being in a bad mood for a day or two. Iโll be myself again tomorrow.โI wonโt be devastated over an old man. I want to hear your thoughts. How do you plan to tackle Liberty now that sheโs here?โโIโll just remain calm and make thorough preparations just in case.โBelinda smiled. โThatโs good. As expected of my daughter.โI met my niece, Audrey, when I was in Wiltspoon. There was some tension between us. She thinks Iโm a murderer no matter what I say, so sheโs hostile toward me.โShe suggested I give Liberty a chance and train her so you and Liberty can compete fairly. If Liberty loses, Audrey will accept you as the matriarch. If Liberty wins, weโll have to give up on all our power.โAudrey was not forthright about it but her intention could be read between the lines. Belinda added, โWhy should we give up on whatโs ours, Caro

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite on the top floor of Fortress Hotel, Liberty and Hayden sat on the sofa in the living room while Kevin poured water for them and served them a fruit platter.โLiberty, how about staying with me? I live alone, the house is big, and there are many rooms. If you move in, we can also keep each other company.โHayden invited Liberty to stay at her private villa.While smiling, Liberty turned her head to look at her. โHayden, if I move into your place, the tabloids here will report that you and Kevin have a relationship breakdown. They might even say that Kevin is delusional and that you prefer women.โHayden choked for a moment.She was still dressed as a man now. If Liberty stayed with her, it could easily lead to misunderstandings and cause unnecessary trouble.Liberty had just arrived in Jensburg and it would not do her well to be gathering hate when her footing in Jensburg was still weak.Hayden had too many admirers. Though they could not comp

Hayden glanced at Kevin.Kevin rubbed his nose and smiled. โYou cooked well. Itโs delicious.โโThen, Iโll shamelessly mooch some of it. I wonโt disturb you two anymore. I'll rest up downstairs.โLiberty tactfully made space for the young couple to have their alone time.She had just returned to her room and sat on the sofa without the chance to reply to Duncanโs messages when she heard a knock on the door.โWho is it?โ Liberty asked while getting to the door.It was someone from the hotel.Upon seeing the door open, the hotel staff smiled and said, โMs. Liberty? Hereโs a letter for you.โWith that, Liberty was handed a letter.She took the envelope and thanked the staff member.Back in the room, she curiously opened the envelope, finding only a small note inside.The content of the note was simple, stating a certain address in Jensburg.Below the address was a sentence: [Ms. Hunt, go alone. I will ensure your safety. Donโt let anyone find out.]The letter was signed by โFl

Soon, Liberty drove out of the underground parking lot.Following the address Mr. Fletcher provided, she navigated her way there.Duncan called.Liberty slowed down before answering the call.โDuncan, Iโm out to buy something. Iโm driving now. Iโll call you back when I return.โDuncan acknowledged with a sound and reminded her, โDrive safely.โโI will.โLiberty did not drive like her sister; she was not fond of speeding.Thankfully, they lived in a city where traffic was heavy. Serenity could not speed, so she drove diligently. She would drive like an F1 driver if they were in the suburbs with light traffic. Unfortunately, Zachary had not witnessed Serenityโs driving style, or else he would not have let Serenity behind the wheel.Duncan did not want to disturb Liberty while she was driving. He quickly ended the call.If he knew that Liberty was driving alone in her disguise to meet Caroline, he might worry and rush over on the next flight.Liberty knew he cared about her, so

โMiss, take care of yourself. If anything happens, call me immediately,โ Darren advised.Caroline smiled and replied, โI canโt rely on you for everything. Donโt worry, nothing will happen.โEven if she encountered an assassination attempt, she had some self-defense skills. Without them, she would not have survived the abuse of her foster motherโs family.After ending the call with Darren, Caroline drove directly to the rendezvous.When she arrived, Liberty was already there. She had not gotten out of her car. Seeing another car approaching, Liberty lowered her car window, watching as Caroline parked the car beside hers.Caroline was the first to take off her sunglasses and then peel off the human mask on her face, revealing her true appearance. Smiling, she greeted Liberty as she got out of her car.Seeing this, Liberty also got out, asking, โHow did you know it was me? Werenโt you afraid it might be someone else?โโAt this hour, in such a remote place, with no houses around, ev

โWhatโs your plan? My mom knows youโre here, and she wonโt just sit back. Be careful. If thereโs anything I know, Iโll tell you. But if I donโt, then I canโt help you.โLiberty suppressed her smile, scrutinizing Caroline seriously for a while before saying, โCaroline, weโve met, and I believe youโre someone with a sense of justice. Your values arenโt skewed. However, thatโs your mother, your biological mom. You share a mother-daughter bond, and you wonโt be on opposing sides.โCarolineโs smile gradually faded. She sighed, โTrue, weโre mother and daughter by blood. Itโs a great pressure for me to stand against her. It takes immense courage. You being cautious of me is normal.โBut, Liberty, I genuinely care about you and worry for you. My mom is a ruthless person, truly. Itโs not just talk.โIf you donโt want to talk about it, I wonโt ask again. But if you encounter difficulties that you canโt solve, you can reach out to me. Iโll do my best to help you.โActually, my mom and I donโ

Several decades had passed, and perhaps the law could no longer sentence her mother to death but at least, Caroline could return the position of the matriarch to the descendants of her aunt.She could also leave the Fisher Manor and go back to manage her own company.She preferred living her own life, far away from controversies, grievances, and enmities.Listening to Belinda bring up the past, Caroline believed that her mother did truly heinous deeds back then. It was not just about coveting the power of the head of the family; it might also be because of hatred born from love. Belinda, now seventy years old, had been married to Hunter for decades and they had four children together. However, deep in her heart, there was always that extraordinary manโTiaraโs assistant.โNo matter how much is said, I will prove with actions that my mother and I are not the same kind of people.โLiberty looked at her for a long time, smiled, and said, โYou look very upright and cool, very beautifu

โA babyโs face changes almost every day. Weโll only know who he takes after when heโs a little older.โSerenity agreed. โI should call Elisa and share this news with her.โJasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenityโs call after some time.โSeren.โElisa held the phone in her left h

โAll that matters is that youโre okay, honey. Letโs not have more children. Weโll just have this one son.โJosh spoke while holding Jasmineโs hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.โOkay. We shall not have another baby.โAlthough Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too

It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.โCongratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.โThe people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, โThe father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother wonโt be out that quickly.โUpon hearing her words, everyoneโs mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, โDoes the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?โThe nurse replied, โWeโll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while.

Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, โIs Jasmine Soxโs husband here?โโYes. Iโm her husband,โ replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. โYou must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.โHis family members behind him also echoed, โThatโs right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.โThe nurse said, โThe mother is fine. Itโs just that she wants her husband to accompany her as sheโs in a lot of pain.โEveryone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, โJasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just donโt understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?โOr did she eat something that made her go into labor?โZachary said, โThatโs most likely not the case. Joshโs cousin is Jasmineโs dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. Thereโs no way Jasmine wouldโve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.โSerenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another personโs fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, โI have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Letโs talk again when youโre free another day.โBy the way, Iโll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.โโOkay,โ said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, โItโs almost time, babe. Letโs go.โโOkay. Iโm almost done.โZachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zacharyโs office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.โHowโs Sonny been lately?โLiberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.โSame as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.โSerenity added, โSonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesnโt seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesnโt like going to the Brownsโ place, and he doesnโt want to take their calls either.โHankโs mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why heโs upset with them.โDuring the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.โBabe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Donโt worry too much,โ Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.โYou are my rock. If even you are nervous, Iโll start feeling anxious too, and that wonโt be good.โHearing this, Zachary immediately said, โSeren, donโt worry. Iโll protect both of you. Alright, I wonโt be so nervous anymore.โHe gently touched her rounded belly again. โLilโ Bun should be a calm kid. Heโs not that mischievous.โHe felt that the babyโs movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

โJust hit the gym a few more times. Lately, youโve been spending less time there.โEvery day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.โOw.โ Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, โIs it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Letโs go to the hospital right away.โHe was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.โDonโt be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. Itโs not happening so soon. Itโs just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.โAs she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
