“Then, if you need help in the future, make sure to tell Audrey. Even though she doesn’t have complete control in Jensburg, she has a wide network and can help you in many ways. You came this time for business, right?”
Liberty said, “Of course, I’m here for business. What else would I be here for? What did Madam Fisher think I was here for?”
Liberty questioned Belinda.
Belinda laughed. “I thought you came to acknowledge your roots and revert to bearing the Fisher surname.”
“As long as Fisher's blood runs through me, I’m a descendant of the Fishers. I don’t need to acknowledge or revert to any roots as ultimately the fact that I am a descendant of the former head of the Fisher family won’t be erased.”
Belinda fell silent.
It seemed that Liberty always spoke with a sharp tongue, just like Audrey.
Audrey’s personality and abilities were like Tiara’s. Liberty was a replica of her sister, which meant that in terms of bloodline, Liberty was indeed the most promising to compete with her daughter, Caroline.
“Madam.”
The butler interjected respectfully, “We can start the banquet now.”
Belinda smiled and addressed everyone, “Let’s start the banquet and take our seats.”
Then, she stood up and said to Liberty, “Let’s go, Liberty, let’s join the banquet.”
“Your bodyguards and my butler can go together. This is a family banquet, and everyone present is from the family. Look, my bodyguards are also outside.”
Without waiting for Liberty to respond, Belinda continued, “Let them join the others for dinner. It’s not about chasing them away. Don’t worry, your people who came with you will leave with you.”
Liberty gestured for the bodyguards to exit.
When Belinda extended her welcome, Liberty accepted graciously.
As the two walked frontmost of the pack, Caroline silently followed behind them.
She figured that her mother’s motive for inviting Liberty over was not to show dominance or make things difficult for her.
