Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 1959

“Kevin York has no shame. Mr. Hayden is giving him the cold shoulder, but he just clings to Mr. Hayden to no end.”

Emma looked over at Kevin and commented, “Kevin has advantages over you all. He’s a guy, and I mean, a guy of power and wealth. The Queen Enterprise would think twice before making York Corporation their enemy. Mr. Hayden’s bodyguards couldn’t even stop Kevin.”

It only fueled Celine’s jealousy further.

After taking another large gulp of red wine, Celine asked Emma, “Where’s Caroline?”

“I don’t know where she’s hiding. I didn’t see her.”

Emma did not take to Caroline.

For starters, Caroline grew up in a rural area. Sure, Caroline had a natural grace to her. It did not take much dressing up for Caroline to outshine Celine now that the former was back in her rightful place with the Fisher family.

Still, Emma could not stand Caroline, getting the idea that Caroline was sly.

Caroline behaved discreetly and meekly in the Fishers’ residence, but she quietly chipped away at the limited authority her older brother, Adrian, had. Emma was not having it.

Emma would egg Celine on to take power from Caroline, insisting that Celine had always been raised to be the next head. Although Celine had no blood ties to the Fisher family, Madam Fisher had adopted her as a daughter. So, Celine was the eldest daughter in the family.

Celine was older than Caroline by ten minutes.

As Emma saw things, these two sisters-in-law could fall into a power struggle while her man could sit back and reap the rewards. It was common for the inheritance to be left to the sons, but the Fishers were a little different in terms of handing the role of the leader to the eldest daughter. Most of the company shares were in the head of the household’s possession too.

All the men in the house were most unhappy with the unorthodox tradition, and they had been tempted to go against the grain.

Madam Fisher would have no daughters if Celine and Caroline were dead. In that case, Madam Fisher would have no choice but to leave the position to the son. It was not as though Madam Fisher would let the daughters of the extended family inherit the family businesses.

Emma believed her wicked and controlling mother-in-law would never allow anyone from the extended family to be the family head.

Her mother-in-law would get rid of the other ladies in the extended family if her daughters were out of the picture. With no more women left in the family, Madam Fisher would have to change the rules and pass the leadership to her son.
