Chapter 3767

Adrian thought to himself that his mother probably regretted her decision in the end—regretted choosing Caroline, who had a completely different worldview and was stubborn, over Celine. Celine’s death was brought about by his mother’s actions. She was worried that Celine would compete with Caroline, which led her to mercilessly cause the death of the adoptive daughter she had raised for over twenty years. With Adrian’s departure, his brothers followed suit. They even turned to glare at Caroline as they walked out behind him. Once outside the office, they caught up and asked, “Adrian, are we really taking leave? With Mom gone, the company is effectively leaderless. If we don’t take action, I’m afraid we’ll soon be kicked out of the company.” Jason whispered, “Didn’t Dad say to take whatever we can get right now? We need to find a way to make some money.” Whether it was Caroline or Liberty taking over the company, they needed to secure more money for an escape. Now that their mother had passed, it would be very difficult for them to stay at Fisher Enterprise. Even if Caroline took charge, she would not keep them around. She had long been dissatisfied with their holding high positions and enjoying high salaries despite their lack of ability and without merit. “Justin, don’t talk about this here,” Jason nudged, reminding him quietly. The company had surveillance everywhere. If Caroline checked the footage, she would find out what they had said. Adrian took a deep breath and said, “It’s nearing Christmas, and the company is very busy right now, trying to fulfill urgent orders before the holiday. Plus, with Mom gone, things are especially chaotic. But the more chaotic it is, the closer the watch Caroline keeps on us. Let’s go to the hospital and talk to Dad about the situation first.” The brothers entered the elevator. Justin said resentfully, “We don’t even know if she’s really one of us. How can she be so different from us?” Adrian paused for a moment and replied, “She is a daughter of the Fisher family’s direct line, so of course she’s different from us. She resembles Mom, but retains her conscience; she has a very strong ethical code, unlike Mom. Who told us not to be daughters of the Fisher family? We can only be suppressed by her. “Dad knows her character all too well, too. That’s why he told us to go back to the manor and take the valuables, but she and those people from Wiltspoon had already made arrangements. “I just don’t understand. Even if she didn’t grow up with us and didn’t develop a sibling bond, she’s been back for at least two or three years now. Yet she’s siding with them after only a few meetings? She’s actually leaning toward their side. Mom was furious with her.” Jason said, “Why wasn’t it her who died? If Cece were still here, Mom might not have died. Cece would definitely be on Mom’s side. Recently, when Mom wanted to get rid of Liberty, it was Caroline who tipped them off and put them on their guard.”
