At the mention of giving Hunter money, all three Clark brothers first laughed before changing the subject and gathered around him as they walked into the house. They did not dare secretly give Hunter any money after their last lesson learned.
They could give their father whatever he needed but dared not give him money directly. A few hundred dollars or so was acceptable, but they could not give it to him daily. If they did and Hunter saved it up, he could save around ten thousand dollars a month.
That was a negligible sum to them, but it was a large enough sum for their strictly controlled and penniless father to do a fair few things. If Hunter used the money they gave him to wrong Belinda in some way again… well, they did not even dare to imagine the consequences.
Hunter knew what his sons were thinking and his expression clouded in unhappiness. Once they got in the house, he made a beeline for the sofa and sat down before picking up a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table and lit one stick. Sinking back into his seat, he glumly smoked his cigarette.
He was such a failure. As a husband, he could not control his wife and was controlled by her instead. As a father, he could not exercise his authority and had no say over his children. In Fisher Manor, he seemed like the master, but was actually no better than the butler. His children had more of a standing than he did. Even his grandchildren had better standing than he did.
Belinda felt nothing for him, but that was not the case for their grandchildren. Whoever she liked would be one of the masters in the Fisher family and could live prosperously. Sometimes, Hunter regretted marrying into the Fisher family for money. He thought he would live carefreely, but in the end…
Later on, once the Clarks had gotten numerous benefits from the Fisher family, he did not dare to make any careless moves for fear Belinda would take it out on his family. He still had siblings, after all. Plus, their three sons had taken his surname and were Clarks. Every time Hunter met up with his siblings, they would remind him not to offend Belinda and to please her so that the Clarks could maintain their wealth status.
“Dad, it’s not that we don’t want to give you money, it’s just that Mom watches us too closely.”
