Justin urged everyone to enter the house quickly.
The four siblings were concerned that Caroline might speak ill of them in front of their mother, so they did not want to chat outside for too long and hurriedly entered the house.
After Caroline brought Liberty inside, everyone in the room looked at Liberty, finding her very familiar.
Belinda sat in the main seat without moving. The seats beside her were occupied by people of status within the family.
“Liberty, you’re here.”
Belinda politely said, then instructed the butler, “Bring a chair for Ms. Hunt and let her sit.”
Liberty scanned the room. When the butler brought a small stool over, she sarcastically said to Belinda, “If you’re not genuine in hosting a guest, there’s no need to put on a show. I came from afar, and you deliberately sent someone to wait at Fortress Hotel for a long time, to extend the invitation. Yet, there isn’t even a proper seat. Your hospitality is truly eye-opening.”
After saying this, Liberty turned and left, saying to her bodyguards, “Let’s go!”
“Liberty.”
Belinda stopped Liberty with a deep voice, saying, “Everyone in this room is older than you. They are all your elders. You can’t let your elders give up their seats for you, right?
“A small stool has been provided for you here. Giving you a place to sit in this room is already showing you considerable respect.”
No one else spoke; no one dared to speak.
They knew that the familiar woman was Liberty, who came from Wiltspoon. Once they guessed that, they figured out Liberty’s lineage.
In terms of seniority, everyone in the room was Liberty’s senior.
However, Liberty was the direct descendant of the former matriarch. Following the order of succession in the Fisher family’s rules, Liberty was the legitimate heir. In front of the rightful successor, they did not dare to act arrogantly even if they held higher seniority.
