Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Liberty planned to walk around for market research. However, she was not surprised at Belinda's men blocking her way.

She knew Belinda would send someone to her, but she did not expect it to happen that fast.

"What do you need?"

Belinda's bodyguard said respectfully, "Madam Fisher is hosting a banquet at her manor tonight, and she extends her invitation to you, Ms. Hunt. She hopes you don't decline since you're relatives anyway. "Madam Fisher has also prepared a room for you to stay in. She feels bad for letting you stay in a hotel."

Even if the said hotel belonged to York Corporation.

Liberty said, "Please tell Madam Fisher that I'll be there for dinner tonight, but I'll kindly refuse the offer to stay in her house. I'm fine with living in a hotel. I don't want to impose."

Fisher Manor was Belinda's territory and she had absolute power at that place.

It would be easy for her to commit a crime against Liberty.

If Liberty moved into Fisher Manor, she could lose her life.

Although taking risks was necessary to achieve a goal, protecting one's life was still a priority. Nothing could be done if one was dead.

The bodyguard's only task was to relay Belinda's message to Liberty. Since they had received her reply, they could return to report to Belinda.

He said, "I'll relay your words to my madam. I shall take my leave and not disturb you."

Liberty nodded.

The bodyguard drove away.

Liberty told her bodyguard, "Wait for me downstairs. I need to meet Kevin."

She was going to tell him that Belinda had invited her to Fisher Manor for dinner.

She was definitely going.

Fisher Manor used to be her mother's house. She wanted to have a look at the place her mother lived before.

A few minutes later, Liberty knocked on Kevin's office.

Kevin was writing when he saw Liberty entering. He quickly took a document and blocked the paper in front of him, not wanting Liberty to see it. Liberty guessed Kevin was writing a love letter to Hayden.

She pretended not to have seen Kevin's movements.

"Didn't you leave already, Liberty?"

Kevin stood and invited Liberty to sit on the sofa for guests, before pouring her a cup of tea.

"I went out in the morning and came back for lunch. I was about to head out again after a rest, but one of Madam Fisher's men stopped me."

Kevin asked worriedly, "How dare her people do something to you at Fortress Hotel."

It was a sign of provocation to him.

Did they think he was an easy opponent?

"No. They aren't that stupid to attack me at Fortress Hotel. Madam Fisher is having a banquet at her manor tonight, and she's inviting me over. I think her main reason for hosting it is me."

Kevin said, "It must be a trap. I'll go with you, Liberty."

Liberty replied, "No need. She won't do anything to me for now."

"Whether she tries something or not, I can't let you walk into the lion's den alone. That old woman is ruthless. Don't underestimate her. She knows that even if she doesn't do anything, we won't be able to have a peaceful relationship.

"Madam Fisher won't let you off. She doesn't want the Fisher family's power returning to your family, and you are Caroline's potential opponent."

Serenity was pregnant, while Elisa made it clear that she was incapable and not interested in taking over the Fisher family.

Liberty was the best candidate.

Therefore, she was about to become Caroline's strongest opponent.
