Married at First Sight

“I wanted to return to working at the company and have Mom arrange an easy position for me. However, Caroline objected and
said the company wouldn’t keep useless people. Was she someone useful herself? She’s the same as an idle person.”
Celine had a lot of words cooped up inside her. She poured everything out to Emma.
Her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law still adored her more.
“What else did Mom say?”
Emma was more than happy to see Celine and Caroline fighting.
“Mom also said if Caroline doesn’t buck up, she might not be able to be the next matriarch. From what Mom mentioned, I still
stand a high chance if Caroline doesn’t do well as the successor. Emma, tell Brother to put in good words for me when he’s with
Mom and let me work in the company again.
“I want to fight with Caroline till the end. In any case, I’m the successor that Mom nurtured personally.”
Celine was confident that she could beat Caroline.
Emma said, “We’ve all put in good words for you in front of Mom. Your eldest brother even said Caroline was too much for not
letting you return to the company when she’s incapable herself. She’s just scared you’ll outshine her.
“Cece, you still have to depend on yourself for this. Mom loves you the most. She’ll let you work at the company again if you beg
her sweetly and please her. Mom’s still the decision-maker in Fisher Enterprise. Caroline is nothing now.”
“Sure. I’ll buy Mom a few sets of new clothes and jewelry later to make her happy. I’ll also cook tonight and make a few of Mom’s
favorite dishes.”
Celine was skilled in pleasing her adoptive mother.
She had acted cute many times since she was young. It was true that Mom loved and doted on her the most.
Back when she was younger, whenever her brothers were about to get punished for their mistakes, she only had to beg Mom
sweetly and persuade her to forgive her brothers for them to be let off the hook.
Therefore, her brothers spoiled her a lot.

There was also her dad. When he wanted more allowance, he would have her ask for more money from Mom. She always
fulfilled her dad’s requests.
In Celine’s impression, her dad was an honest but weak person. He was controlled by Mom for his entire life and often had no
money. If he wanted something, Mom would ask someone to buy it for him. She would never let him possess too much money.
He may have been the husband to the matriarch of the Fisher family, but he could not even fish out five hundred dollars.
As such, Celine’s father always had to think of ways to hide some money for himself. He also tried asking her for money. Mom
was furious when she found out and threw a fit. Her children were shocked and dared not to give their allowance to their dad
anymore.
Mom said that her dad only married into the Fisher family for the family assets. However, men became terrible once they had
money. While she would not mistreat her husband, she would not let him take her money for indulgence or to cheat on her.
Therefore, she did not allow her husband to have too much money with him. He was penniless most of the time.
Celine had always thought her dad was too weak. Her brothers were also very obedient in front of Mom. As a result, she fell in
love with Hayden at first sight because she thought he was bold and manly during their first meeting.
“If you’re cooking, Mom will definitely decline her appointments and return for dinner tonight. She might even have a second
helping.”
Emma flattered Celine.
“By the way, Cece, what’s with you and Mr. Kevin fighting over Mr. Queen? I saw the news being put up all over the place.”
“We didn’t fight. I just hit Kevin’s hand once. You don’t know how terrible Kevin was, Emma. Mr. Queen wanted to ignore him, yet
he forcefully dragged Mr. Queen into the hotel. I couldn’t stand the sight of it and hit Kevin’s hand. I intended to slap the hand
holding Mr. Queen’s hand away. He called people to chase me out of the hotel afterward.
“He even said I was just a fake and not the true young lady of the Fishers. He also mentioned he would have been more polite if
it were Caroline because she was the legitimate young lady of the Fisher family and asked who I thought I was. I was so mad.”
Other people treated Caroline and her differently as well, but she did not expect Kevin to make it so obvious.
He even said it out loud.

It was maddening.
