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 man—Tiara’s assistant.
“No matter how much is said, I will prove with actions that my mother and I are not the same kind of people.”
Liberty looked at her for a long time, smiled, and said, “You look very upright and cool, very beautiful. If your mom sees you like this, she’ll find it glaring.
“How’s your family situation now? I heard your dad cheated, got caught by your mom, and these days, I haven’t seen your dad around.”
Liberty had just come over and learned about the situation between Belinda and Hunter.
This was big news in Jensburg.
Most of the old men who usually hung out with Hunter sympathized with him. They thought Belinda was too strict, restricting Hunter’s freedom and providing little spending money.
Even in the best marriages, prolonged control could lead to a breakdown in feelings.
“I just don’t know if they could change. I think they probably wouldn’t.”
Caroline dared to bet that her three brothers would still have affairs. They were bored with their beautiful wives at home and had to find some side pieces. They did not have to be prettier and her brothers would still gobble them up. Men were always like this, always feeling that the grass was greener on the other side.
After seeing these unstable marriages, Caroline did not dare wish for too much or that she would marry a loyal man.
She hoped she could solve the mystery of her aunt’s death by thirty and return the position of the matriarch to its rightful owner. That way, she would no longer be bound by the rules and traditions of the Fisher family.
Then, she hoped to find a good man and have a simple and peaceful life as a married woman. It was much better than marrying into a wealthy family.
