Chapter 2314

Hayden thoughtfully said, “That's how it is with seniors in the family. My parents are the same. They are

most worried about my marriage.

“You've given my parents hope for my marriage. They're finally starting to see a future for me.”

Kevin was smug. “I make an excellent son-in-law for them.”

Hayden grinned. “Of course. You’re an outstanding man.”

The pair enjoyed a good laugh and chit-chat along the way, and soon, they arrived at Fortress Hotel.

Like before, Kevin took Hayden to go along the green channel. Without alerting anyone, he brought her

to the rooftop swimming pool.

While Hayden put down her walls for Kevin, Caroline finally closed the business deal.

She walked the client out of the hotel and watched them leave in a car, then heaved a sigh of relief.

Caroline stood outside the hotel for a while before calling Darren to pick her up as her car was at the

service center.

“Wait for me inside the hotel. Don’t stand outside. The weather is still hot in October,” Darren urged.

“Alright. I’ll wait for you in the hotel lobby.

Darren acknowledged her response and hung up.

Madam Fisher assigned him as Caroline’s aide since her return to the family. He was mature,

responsible, and good at his job. Caroline initially resisted his presence, but she eventually warmed up

to him after he proved his capabilities. She made use of his skills and grew to rely on him.

Besides, Darren made his stance clear to Caroline that his loyalty lay with her so long as he was alive.

He no longer took orders from her mother.novelbin

Caroline had observed his actions for the past year, so she trusted Darren was a man of his word. She

knew he was valuable when she saw the jealous look on Celine's face when their mother assigned him

to her.

She later learned that every successor of the Fisher family was assigned a capable aide who had to

complete a hellish training with flying colors.

The future matriarch's aide would learn alongside the current family head who would assess the said

aide’s character and vouch for their abilities.

Once the current matriarch was certain who was her successor, she would assign the aide to the

successor. The aide would pledge loyalty to that one person.

Hence, Celine was filled with rage and jealousy when Madam Fisher assigned Darren to Caroline.

Celine grew up in the family and was groomed to be the successor. Madam Fisher trained Darren for

five years, but he was never assigned to Celine. Nevertheless, Celine knew that Madam Fisher was not

happy with her as the heir, albeit being taken under her wing.

It did not take Darren long to arrive at the hotel.

He was Caroline’s most trustworthy and capable aide. Even if he was not with Caroline, he was not far

away. Caroline was only a phone call away from him, and he would rush to her side in the shortest

amount of time.
