Chapter 4119

“I’m in charge now, not your mother. If you can’t do the work, then don’t cling to your positions and collect a salary for doing nothing.” Liberty had no intention of tolerating their laziness any longer. The three brothers had tried investing and running their own businesses, but they mostly ended up losing money. The only stable income they had was from renting out the properties and shops they owned. That was why Hunter had advised his sons to return to Ashford, buy more properties and shops, and live off the rental income. It was much more stable than their business ventures. If the properties were hard to rent out, they could always sell them and recover some money, but with their business investments, not only did they lose money, they often ended up in debt by the time the businesses failed. It was a mystery how much of Belinda’s personal wealth had been spent helping her sons pay off their debts while she was alive. However, there were times when they made money. They would take orders from Fisher Enterprise, and with Fisher Enterprise backing them, they would not lose money, but this came at the expense of Fisher Enterprise. The three Clark brothers profited by harming the interests of Fisher Enterprise. Adrian’s face was dark with anger. He wanted to retort as he glared at Liberty, but she met his glare without flinching, her own eyes sharp and unyielding. “Adrian,” Justin and Jason tugged at their brother’s sleeve. Jason, the more tactful of the three, forced a smile and picked up the documents Liberty had thrown at them. “CEO Fisher, we’ll go back and redo these immediately. We’ll make sure to do them properly and meet your expectations,” he said. Adrian took a few deep breaths, finally relenting. Without a word, he snatched the documents from his brother’s hands and stormed out. “CEO Fisher, we’ll get back to work now.” The two younger brothers at least knew to say something polite. After receiving a nod from Liberty, they hurried after their brother. As soon as they stepped out of the CEO’s office, Justin turned and spat in the direction of the office. Jason reminded him in a whisper, “Justin, her secretary’s right there.” The CEO’s secretary had been replaced and was no longer the secretary from Belinda’s time. The previous secretary had been respectful to the three Clark brothers, but after Belinda’s death, when Caroline temporarily took over Fisher Enterprise, the secretary resigned on her own. She knew very well that with a new leader came new staff. After working at Fisher Enterprise for so many years, it was time for a change. Resigning on her own terms was at least more dignified than being fired by Liberty later. The current secretary was Caroline’s previously. Caroline thought her secretary was competent, so she recommended her to Liberty, who decided to keep her. After all, Liberty was essentially parachuted into the position of CEO with no prior experience in Fisher Enterprise. Having a secretary who was familiar with everything was a great help to her. The three Clark brothers ran into Caroline at the elevator. Caroline was alone, dressed in business attire, yet still seemed soft and delicate. In terms of demeanor, she did not exude the same sharp, capable aura as Liberty did as soon as she put on a suit. She was more like Camryn Newman—outwardly gentle and seemingly easy to bully, but in reality, she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Caroline was holding a document and had come upstairs probably to discuss something important with Liberty. After the New Year, Liberty had come to take over, so Caroline returned to her previous office and no longer worked in the CEO’s office. Ever since learning that her mother’s rise to power had been illegitimate, Caroline had stopped seeing herself as the rightful heir to Fisher Enterprise. The four siblings met gazes.
