Chapter 2535
"Can you get pregnant and give birth?" Caroline asked playfully.
Glenn said, "Wow. I really can't do that."
Caroline burst out laughing.
Glenn grinned. His blush reached his ears.
Meanwhile, at Fisher Manor, Celine asked Hunter nervously, "Dad, will Marcus succeed?"
"I think he's enough to deal with Caroline. Mr. Fletcher isn't with her either. Don't worry."
Hunter was confident.
"Your mom will be back soon. If Marcus does his job, we can start arranging Caroline's wedding when your mom's back. Caroline will be inferior if she marries a useless man. You must work hard and win Mr. Queen's heart soon."
"It doesn't work that way, Dad. With Kevin around, I don't stand a chance. Mom warned me not to bother Kevin. We can't afford to offend the York family."
Celine pouted and said, "I have to switch targets."
However, out of all the talented young men in Jensburg, only Hayden matched her standards.
After some thinking, Hunter said, "You're right. Kevin is troublesome, while Hayden is difficult to approach. Do you have someone else in mind?"
"No. I want to choose someone on par with Hayden, but those people are either married, too young, or incapable. They can't reach my standards at all."
Hunter consoled her, "You can take your time choosing. Don't be hasty. There'll be someone who can tick all your boxes. What did your mom say about your complaint?"
Celine answered grumpily, "Dad, I think Mom is just pretending to love me now. She favors Caroline. I know I'm not your biological daughter, so it's natural for you and Mom to be biased toward Caroline. "If Mom doesn't like me anymore, she could've just told me to leave."
"Caroline froze my bank card. In response to that, Mom told me to spend my savings. You've always borrowed my money and never returned it, Dad. My savings are depleting, and I bought too many things today. I can't believe I spent a million dollars today."
Celine usually used the credit card Belinda gave her. She had never felt bad, no matter how much money she spent.
However, it pained her when she had to use her savings.
"What did you spend a million dollars on?"
Even Hunter felt distressed.
If Celine spent less, he would be able to borrow more money from her.
"I just bought clothes, jewelry, and bags. They're all branded and can easily amount to millions. My friends were around at that time. I'd feel embarrassed if I said I didn't want the items anymore, so I spent my own money."
Hunter said, "You should go easy on the luxury goods."
"I didn't know Caroline would dare to freeze my credit card. She's my nemesis. Nothing has been going well for me ever since she returned. I was forced to leave the company, and my profits have decreased. Competition is tight, and those renting my shop lots to run their business always fail to beat their competitors.
"They moved away due to poor sales. My tenants change every month. Everyone's spreading rumors that my lots are unlucky and not suited for business. Now, I can't even increase my rent. Even after lowering the price, it's still difficult to rent them out. Two out of the three I own are vacant now.
"Those renting my residential properties also think the rent is too expensive. They'd move out once the contract ends. Many of them are empty now. I only earn about fifty grand in rent per month. It's not even enough for me to get a Hermès bag."
