Without a single word, Emma gave Celine a hard slap.There was a loud smack.A bright red handprint immediately appeared on Celine’s face.Even the corner of her mouth was bleeding.This was not enough for Emma. She repeatedly swung her bag at Celine, cursing and calling her a shameless harlot as she did so.Celine did not cower in the least and the two hurled each other and rolled on the floor.The noise of the struggle was loud and because it was a Sunday night, everyone was home.The neighbors all came out to see what was going on.When they saw Emma and Celine fighting, they did not dare to interfere, not knowing the circumstances.In between landing hits, Emma even tore the sexy nightgown Celine was wearing while shouting, “You slut! How dare you seduce my husband? I’m going to destroy you, you shameless harlot!”The crowd finally figured out the situation. It turned out a wife was confronting the mistress.A good Samaritan immediately started filming with their phone.
Whoever Adrian wanted to be with in the future had nothing to do with Emma anymore.Anyone who wanted her position as the eldest Fisher daughter-in-law—be her guest! She wanted to live!“Adrian, do you realize what you’re doing?” Caroline rebuked coldly. “You nearly killed Emma!“Do you think we have no idea of what you and that woman have been doing here?” Caroline bent down to pick up Emma’s bag and retrieved a stack of photos to throw at Adrian forcefully.Then, she pulled Emma up and said, “Let’s go home, Emma. We’ll leave this scummy couple to Mom to handle.”“Caroline—”Adrian picked up one of the photos to look at it and he paled.When he looked up, Caroline was already pulling his wife away.Adrian did not dare to dally. He hurried to the room to change and rushed back out.When he spotted Celine who had fainted from Caroline’s strike, he could not care less and ruthlessly left her there.He did not even close the door behind him.The spectating neighbors were stru
When Belinda received news of Celine’s death, she specially made a trip to the hospital.Hunter, who was supposed to be discharged from the hospital in two more days, appeared as if it was his parents who had passed. Looking haggard and his eyes red and swollen, it was obvious he had cried for a very long time without anybody asking.Last night, Jason stayed with him in the hospital to take care of him.When Jason heard that Celine had died, he rushed straight to Summitview to fight Celine’s biological brothers.When Belinda saw the Clark men acting like this, her gaze was dark and no one could tell what she was thinking.Pinned to the spot by her gaze, the Clark men did not dare to even breathe in anxiety.Hunter gave Jason a look, hoping he would break the silence.Jason did not dare to. He wanted his father to do it.The two kept exchanging looks, but finally, Jason spoke.He brought a chair over to his mother and placed it behind her, saying, “Mom, you should sit.”Belind
Celine’s family members were all parasites.Caroline was not biologically related to them, so it was whatever for them to mistreat Caroline; Celine was their blood, yet they treated her the same. Celine had been spoiled and doted on at the Fishers. How could she withstand such treatment?They were the ones who killed Celine!An accidental fall to her death? Jason absolutely did not believe it.He seriously suspected that Celine had been pushed to her death by her brothers.In the hospital room, Belinda took a sip of water from the glass Jason had given her to quench her thirst before putting it back down and saying to her bedridden husband, “Hunter, you’ve heard that Celine’s dead, haven’t you?”Hunter’s haggardness and swollen eyes could fool no one. Not daring to lie, he answered honestly, “I heard last night. Jason even went to Summitview. Celine cracked her head open and died on the spot.“They said that the paramedics declared her dead at the scene. They didn’t even try to
“It just happened that you and Celine had ended up… Caroline wasn’t involved in that at all.“We may not have raised Caroline, but she’s our biological daughter, Hunter. Our blood flows in her.“You’re always trying to blame her for everything bad that happened. And you call yourself a dad?”Hunter was speechless from Belinda’s scolding. After some time, he said, “Was Celine and I… Was it an accident and not a scheme?”“Yes. If it were a scheme, it would’ve been your beloved eldest son who had set you up. If you can accept that, then you can think whatever of it. I can’t control your thoughts.”Hunter had no words. He did not believe that Adrian would set him and Celine up. Hunter had four children. Before knowing Caroline was his true daughter, his favorite children were Adrian and Celine. Adrian and Hunter were extremely close. How could his son have betrayed him and Celine? It must have been an unfortunate turn of events. “If you knew it was an accident between Ce
After their marriage, Belinda was stricter with Hunter than their sons. It was not done out of love. She simply did not allow him the chance to cheat on her. “Celine also died because she wanted to get revenge on me. She seduced Adrian. Don’t you think this is enough of a reason?“Emma is asking for a divorce now. Celine didn’t only ruin our marriage but also Adrian’s. She deserved more than just death. I won’t investigate to find out if it was a murder or suicide, nor will I allow anyone to look into it using the Fisher family’s connections.“Anyone who dares to use my family’s connections will face heavy consequences.”Belinda then got up and left with her head high. Hunter watched her leave. He felt a mixture of fear, anger, and helplessness. Ever since he had agreed to marry into the Fisher family, he could never be confident before his wife. His days were better if his wife was in a good mood. Of course, Hunter and Belinda had their honeymoon phase. However, as Beli
Jason consoled his Hunter. He did not dare to look into whether Celine’s death was accidental or if her biological brother had pushed her off. Belinda had made it clear that Celine’s death was what it was and that no one in the family was supposed to mention her ever again. Hunter vented his frustration and sadness to his son. “I’m not going to your place after I’m discharged. I’ll return to the manor. I promise not to offend your mom anymore. I’m already in my seventies. I may be counting down my days, but I’ll be your shelter for as long as I’m alive.“If I’m around, your mom can vent her anger at me whenever she’s in a bad mood. That way, you boys won’t have to face an angry mother.“Jason, you and your brothers must be careful from now on. Although Belinda’s your mom, she prioritizes the Fisher family over you all. She can even sacrifice any of you for the family, anytime.“If you boys don’t want to end up like me or Cece, you must establish a career of your own. If so,
It was Liberty. She did not have a mask on, but she wore sunglasses and a cap too. She removed her cap and stuffed it inside her bag only after entering the cafe. Caroline said, “I didn’t want anyone to recognize me.”“Why? Are you in a bad mood? Shouldn’t you be happy that your competitor is gone?”Caroline took off her sunglasses and mask. After putting them on the table, she said, “I didn’t do anything. She didn’t die by my hands. “Even if I’m happy about it, I can’t express it openly anyway.”Liberty called a waiter over and ordered a cup of coffee. After the waiter left, she took a bite of a dessert and complimented, “The desserts here are absolutely tasty.”“Of course. Just look at which family owns this hotel.”Caroline smiled and added, “I heard the York men are all skilled in cooking.”Liberty replied, “I’m closest to Zachary, Callum, and Kevin. They’re indeed good at cooking.”“If a hotel is managed by someone who knows their food, the food in the hotel will defi
