Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2320

Hayden would not even look at Celine. Yet, the man was nice to a country bumpkin like Caroline.

“Mom, I’ll go with Caroline tomorrow,” Celine proposed since Caroline mentioned buying Hayden a meal.

Madam Fisher said indifferently, “Don’t go, Celine. You know what Mr. Queen thinks of you. I don’t care how you approach Mr. Queen. I only want results. But Caroline is treating Mr. Queen to a meal, which will be beneficial for the company. You can’t ruin this for us.

“Caroline, I don’t have a problem if Mr. Queen accepts your invitation. I’m happy that you closed the deal tonight. I’ll get you a new car tomorrow. You can pick one yourself at the dealership. Your budget is five million dollars.”

Celine uttered with envy, “Mom, my car isn’t even that expensive.”

Caroline replied, “You’re adopted, but I’m the biological daughter. How can you compare yourself to me? Celine, you should know where you stand.”

Celine had no words and showed her mom those puppy dog eyes.

Madam Fisher pretended not to see them and did not take her side.

Celine realized that even though Madam Fisher was strict and stern with Caroline, they were mother and daughter after all.

She was losing ground to Caroline. Her adoptive mother was verbally kind to her, but what was the point?

“Hunter.”

Madam Fisher told her husband, “We should drop the subject of marriage for now since Caroline doesn’t want to get married yet. Caroline is old enough to make her own decisions. Marriage is a huge thing anyway. She needs to find someone she likes.

“We can share our opinions with her, but we can’t decide for her. She can choose the man she wants. She isn’t thirty yet, and she’s busy building a career. Give it a few more years.”
