Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3071

Belinda quickly understood her daughter’s worry, as Caroline expected.

Celine’s only asset right now was her beauty.

All three of Belinda’s sons had mistresses. Most likely not just one each, and not their first time cheating either; it was just that her daughters-in-law had not known about it at the time.

The brothers had inherited their lustful hearts from Hunter.

If Celine decided to intentionally seduce Adrian and the rest, there was a real possibility of success.

The Clark brothers had always doted on her and felt nothing for their biological sister Caroline.

It was inevitable for Celine to get some benefits through them.

At the thought of this, Belinda’s face twisted into an ugly expression.

If Celine managed to seduce Adrian, both father and son would have fallen at her hands.

Hunter could still say he had been schemed against, but Adrian would have taken the bait willingly.

“I’ll handle this, Caroline. You don’t have to do a thing. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on Celine’s every movement. If she dares to use your brothers, I’ll tell your sisters-in-law and get them to protect the sanctity of their own families.”

Belinda could not be bothered to personally take action.

It was also partly because she could not bring herself to do so. After all, she had doted on and raised Celine like her own.

It was easier said than done to sever the mother-daughter bond after more than two decades.

Perhaps because she was getting on in years, she was no longer as ruthless as she was when she was young.

Did Celine think she could turn the tables by seducing Adrian and the rest?

She was wrong.

Doing that would only squander the last bit of affection Belinda held for her.

If Celine really was caught doing that, all that awaited her was a forceful departure from Jensburg—perhaps even a complete erasure of her existence.

Belinda would not allow a resentful Celine to stay in Jensburg and cause trouble to the Fishers.

“She’s useless to you, so you shouldn’t waste any effort on her. You should focus on not letting Liberty get more influence and power. Her new company’s been established and she’s managed to sign quite a few deals. She has even rented factories and started production.

“The industry her company is involved in and the products they’re selling are exactly the same as ours. She’s obviously trying to steal our business.”
