Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 2716

“Tonight, Liberty is not only an honored guest of our family but also an opportunity for everyone to know who she is and what her status is in the family. When you get home, speak well of her to your family members. In the future, when you encounter Liberty, treat her with respect.”

All eyes were on Belinda.

She was displeased with Caroline taking matters into her own hands, but she also understood the dynamics of the family. In this family, sooner or later, decisions were made by the heir.

Uplifting Liberty to the successor’s position was also a significant test for Caroline.

Celine might not have the capability to compete with Caroline, but Liberty did.

Belinda considered that if Caroline was willing to raise Liberty’s status and compete fairly, she would comply. If Caroline won, she would legitimately hold the position of matriarch, and there would be no more whispers and backbiting.

However, if Caroline lost... the position would return to the elder sister’s lineage.

Belinda would not let everything she fought for slip away so easily.

If Caroline proved inadequate, she still had three sons. If needed, she could amend the Fisher family rules, allowing sons to inherit or openly selecting talented young women within the family for grooming.

Belinda would not let the matriarch position easily slip back into Tiara’s lineage.

After much contemplation, she decided not to interfere with Caroline’s decision.

“What Carol said is what I wanted to tell everyone. I was confused just now. Please don’t go along with my confusion.”

Belinda spoke with a remorseful expression. Her words had an instant effect, and everyone’s attitude toward Liberty became more respectful.
