Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

"You've rented out all the properties under your name, and the shops are also on lease. The monthly rent amounts to tens of thousands, which is more than the annual income of many ordinary people. Cece,

you're already doing better than many."

Celine, feeling wronged, asked, "Mom, are you blaming me for spending money?"

"That's not what I mean. I'm just telling you that you're ahead of thousands of others, better off than most.

"Alright, don't be upset. I will be back in a couple of days, and when I return, I'll unfreeze your bank account. I'll also give Caroline a piece of my mind for you. However, since you damaged Caroline's car, it's better to compensate her. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to help you. After all, she is my biological daughter."

Celine reluctantly replied, "I'll pay for the repairs, and when you're back, you can comfort my wounded soul."

Belinda chuckled. "Good, I will bring you some gifts when I return, just for you. Cece, my feelings for you run deep. You're the one I've raised single-handedly. You have a special place in my heart no matter what.

"Don't cry, and don't be angry. There's no need to be upset with Caroline. She has been scolded by me for a long time, and she finally has a chance to take charge. She's just using her newfound authority, which doesn't amount to much. When I return, I'll cut her allowance and let her know you can't be messed with."

Celine's mood gradually improved after this conversation.

"Thanks, Mom, you're the best!

"Mom, I'll be off then, be sure to take some rest."

Not only did she complain about Celine, but she also found comfort in her mother's reassurance. With that, she ended the call contentedly.

Caroline was quite naive compared to the cunning Celine.

Right after Celine hung up, Belinda rang Caroline's number when Caroline was still in the office.

She had already wrapped up her work and was currently dealing with matters related to her own startup.

Prior to her return to the Fisher family as the heiress, Caroline started her own company that was growing steadily, though it could not compare to the Fisher Enterprise, which had over a century's worth of history. The Fisher Enterprise might be among the lower ranks of major corporations in Jensburg, but it still had a deep heritage.

Caroline kept her independently established company a secret from her family. She managed her work through her team and would visit her company when she had free time.

She was fine with it if everything was under her control.

The phone rang. As soon as she saw that it was her mother calling, Caroline guessed that Celine had complained about her.

She picked up the call.

"Hi, Mom."

"What are you doing?"

Belinda's tone was not too pleasant.

Caroline replied casually, "I'm still in the office working on something. What's wrong, Mom? You don't sound so happy, are you facing some problems?"
