Female Novel
Chapter 2495
Darrell brewed a pot of tea for Belinda.
Audrey poured a cup of tea for Belinda and placed it in front of her. She looked at her and saw that
Belinda’s eyes were shimmering. She then asked, “Now that you’ve found my sister and I, are you
willing to hand over the position of the matriarch back to us?”
Her sister died but Audrey was still alive and kicking. Furthermore, she and Lisa had daughters of their
own too.
According to the Fishers’ family rules, daughters inherit the name Fisher and the position of the
matriarch. However, Audrey was not willing to accept this position, and she intended to let Lisa’s
descendants assume it.
Belinda did not expect Audrey to ask her in this way. After decades of not seeing her nieces and
nephews, and when they finally met again, her niece’s words were laced with suspicion and there was
not a single statement she believed.
Belinda also never expected Audrey to believe her. Audrey’s legend in Wiltspoon was something she
had inquired about extensively. However, she could not have anticipated the sharpness in Audrey’s
words.
For a moment, Belinda did not know how to respond.
Audrey sat upright and stared right at Belinda. Her lips curled slightly, bearing a smile that seemednovelbin
mocking as if she was ridiculing her insincerity.
That pissed Belinda off.
Since she had eliminated her sisters and snatched the position of the Fisher matriarch, no one dared to
give her such an attitude. Everyone had treated her with the utmost deference.
Accustomed to this submission and reverence, Belinda could not help but feel a growing anger when
faced with Audrey's silent sarcasm.
However, she was in the Stone’s mansion in Wiltspoon, not on her own turf. She had no choice but to
contain her anger, no matter how much she was seething internally.
“For decades, the Fisher head of the family sent people to search for my sister and I—that I believe is
true. What I don’t know is whether the purpose of finding us was to help take care of us on behalf of my
parents or to eradicate us from the roots.”
“Drey!”
Belinda called with a gentle tone. Though she had taken good care of herself, her age was showing. At
seventy years old, no matter how well one had upkeep themselves, they could not escape the signs of
aging. She had a pained expression on her face as she spoke, “Drey, do you still believe those
rumors? Do you think I’m responsible for your parents’ death?
“I reached out to you and Lisa because I genuinely wanted to provide you both with a good upbringing.
I never had any intentions to harm you. You and Lisa are what Tiara left in this world. How could I
possibly... Drey, we haven’t seen each other for decades, and I understand that you don’t trust me. I
don't blame you.”
