Female Novel
Chapter 2309
Hayden saw Caroline enter the hotel before telling her driver, “To Queen Manor.”
“Okay.”
Hayden rested in the backseat and pondered Caroline’s issue.
Those who meant her harm were obviously her family. Madam Fisher and her extended family were the
ones who truly wanted Caroline to be the next matriarch.
Celine used to be the heir of the Fisher family but she was not Madam Fisher’s biological daughter. It
was unlikely her extended family would allow her to be the successor.
If Caroline could not hold her fort as the true heir, then the daughters of her extended family would start
aiming for the position too.
Hayden supposed that those who tried to harm Caroline were her family, and while her extended family
might have known about it, they did nothing to stop it.
Although Caroline was the Fishers’ flesh and blood, she did not grow up in the family, and neither did
she have much chance to interact with them. Her extended family was worried that she would be even
more impartial than Madam Fisher after she became the matriarch.
After all, they did not share a tight bond with her. They only stood a chance if Celine failed at inheriting
the position and Caroline was incompetent.
The power struggle within wealthy families had always been cruel. Thinking about it, Madam Fisher
could even kill her biological sisters to be the matriarch. They were willing to go to any lengths for
wealth and power.novelbin
Contrary to the Fisher family’s intense infightings, the Yorks were completely different.
They had always been harmonious. Brothers and cousins would not fight each other for status or
money. Education was highly prioritized and each of their children was nurtured to be talented
youngsters with varied interests.
They were capable and had been advancing steadily in their preferred industries with each of them
successful in their own way. Even if they did not take over the family business, they could survive
perfectly fine on their own.
Hayden suddenly understood why her parents adored Kevin so much. Aside from him being on par
with her capabilities, they also considered the fact that Kevin had the York family’s backing.
As parents, they hoped their daughter could marry into a good family.
Hayden was deep in rumination, thinking about her and Kevin’s future.
“We’ve arrived, Mr. Queen,” the driver announced, and only then did Hayden snap back to her senses.
The sky had long turned dark, and all the lights of Queen Manor were turned on.
Kevin had been waiting for her at the gates. When he saw Hayden’s Maybach coming to a stop, he
walked over with a smile and opened the door for her.
“You left before I did, yet you arrived home later than me.”
He sounded as if he was already a part of the Queen family.
Hayden got out of the car and walked toward the main house after glancing at him. She said, “I met
Caroline on the way home. Her car was tampered with and broke down by the roadside. She had an
appointment with an important client at my hotel and couldn’t afford to be late, so I gave her a ride.”
Kevin was walking alongside her. He tried to hold her hand but was returned with a push and glare. He
rubbed his nose and chuckled before saying, “You won’t lose anything from us holding hands.
“Alright, I won’t hold your hand. Stop glaring at me. It’s traumatizing. I get nightmares when I sleep at
night. But watch me, I’ll get my revenge for this.”
“If I’m that terrifying to have given you nightmares, please give me a break. Stop appearing before me
to prevent yourself from having nightmares.”
“Nightmares are thrilling. I absolutely love thrills.”
Hayden was speechless.
Kevin added, “Did Caroline not get into an accident from her car being meddled with? Didn’t the
perpetrator want her dead?”
“Do you wish so badly for her to die?”
“Her life and death have nothing to do with me. I just thought if anyone were to tamper with another
person’s car, they would want to take the person’s life instead of having the car break down on the
road.
“There’s no familial love between Caroline and her brothers, sisters-in-law, and even her biological
father, let alone Celine.
“If they were behind this, they would’ve wanted Caroline dead.”
Hayden looked at him. “You mean Madam Fisher was the one who orchestrated everything? Is she
causing Caroline problems to see how she handles them?”
Kevin said, “That’s a possibility. Maybe those people dare not take Caroline’s life just yet and were
having a test run.”
Hayden was leaning toward the latter.
