Female Novel
Chapter 2218
How could Caroline possibly ditch the client for Celine at a time like this?
Even if she did not need to meet a client, Caroline would not pick Celine up. The phony had occupied
everything that was hers, and now that the truth was out, Celine never once apologized to Caroline. In
fact, Celine pushed her around, so why should she fetch Celine from Queen Enterprise?
“Who called you?” asked Madam Fisher tenderly as she noticed her daughter answering a call and
promptly hanging up without a word.
“It was Celine.”
“What does she want now? Why did she call you?”
The mother and daughter walked into the hotel.
“She said her car is broken and ordered me to pick her up right away.”
Caroline kept her tone flat. “Mom, I can’t possibly leave now to fetch her. I have a valid reason if she
goes complaining to you.”
Looking upset, Madam Fisher said, “Got it. I will talk to her if she comes to me. She does nothing all
day long. You have to work, and we’re meeting an important client now. You have been dealing with the
client. How could you possibly leave your client to pick her up? The chauffeur, her dad, and her sisters-
in-law are at home. She could’ve gotten anyone else to do the pick-up. Yet, she asked you.”
Madam Fisher was not pleased with her adopted daughter and was aware that Celine was giving
Caroline trouble.
“Don’t worry, Carol. I’m on your side for this. Don’t let Celine get to your head. It’s a big mistake in
business to bring your emotions to see the client.”
Caroline hummed a response. “I know, Mom.”
Madam Fisher gave Caroline a lingering look.
Her daughter had been unenthusiastic about her and had nothing much in common to talk about with
her. Still, she was lucky that Caroline caught on to her intention of giving Caroline the cold shoulder.
A bunch of people were happy with Madam Fisher’s differential treatment toward her daughters—the
biological daughter got the stick while the adopted daughter got the carrot. They even instigated Celine
to compete and fight with Caroline.
These people were motivated by their selfish ambitions.
Madam Fisher’s age made it difficult for her to keep up with the family and business affairs. Besides,
even though she had given birth to her unscrupulous children, she was reluctant to unleash her past
cruelty onto her sons.
Hence, she did not do a thing.novelbin
Instead, she left her sons in Caroline’s hands and they could serve as practice.
Behind the doors, Madam Fisher asked Caroline to promise that she would spare her three brothers’
lives. However, Caroline was free to do as she pleased with Madam Fisher’s in-laws.
Madam Fisher believed her in-laws would claim seniority and exert control over Caroline when she was
dead and gone.
She knew what her husband had planned.
Although Caroline was capable, Madam Fisher was worried Caroline was too young to put her father’s
side of the family in check.
Meanwhile, it only fueled Celine’s anger that Caroline hung up on her.
She gave Caroline another call.
While Caroline accepted the call again, she did not say a word.
“How dare you hang up on me, Caroline! I’m ordering you to pick me up right now. It’s hot. Are you
leaving me to die in the heat? I’ll tell Mom on you if you don’t come here this instance! I’ll tell her that
you hired someone to damage my car so I would die in the heat.”
The weather was unbearably hot even in the evenings when the sun was setting.
Celine was sweating profusely from the heat.
Since she assaulted the security guard a moment ago, she could not bring herself to get out of the sun
and into the security booth.
The security booth was air-conditioned.
With the heat killing her, Celine was jealous of the security guards working in an air-conditioned room.
Queen Enterprise had deep pockets to install an AC in the security booth.
Caroline handed her phone over to her mother.
Madam Fisher took the phone and placed it against her ear. Celine was screaming and threatening
Caroline over the phone.
“Don’t we have a chauffeur? Can’t you call the chauffeur? Why are you insisting on Carol to pick you
up?
Madam Fisher favored Celine, but the yelling and threats toward Caroline rubbed her the wrong way.
No matter what, Caroline was her biological daughter.
