"I heard that even his parents don't know."

Hayden said in a low voice, "Mr. Zachary definitely knows. Kevin and his brothers revere him. They prioritize his opinions in every matter and would talk to him about anything. They might not tell their parents, but they'll surely tell Zachary."

"Zachary's mouth is sealed. It won't be easy to get information from him. You can try getting information from Mrs. York. Serenity is Zachary's beloved. She basically knows everything Zachary does." Hugh said, "Aren't Old Mrs. York and Mrs. York on a trip now? It might be difficult to find her."

Hayden went silent again. After some time, she said, "I'm not expecting you to investigate everything in a day. You can just keep this in mind. Of course, the quicker, the better."

"What if I can't find anything?"

Hayden's expression and gaze darkened. She said icily, "Then we'll have to adapt accordingly."

No matter what scheme Kevin had, he would definitely reveal his motives one day.

"How about you complain to Mr. Zachary and have him manage Kevin? I think if he were to know Kevin is treating you this way, he would be worried. As a brother, no one is willing to see their younger brother pursuing another man.

"If I were to woo a man, I think you'll rein me in and advise me to date a woman too."

Hugh's words made Hayden laugh. She glared at him and said, "If you like men, the sun will be rising from the west. I have to attend a banquet tonight. You should come with me. Caroline will be there too." Hugh immediately pressed his palms together and said, "Please let me off the hook. I'm really not interested in Caroline. She's a wolf wearing sheep's skin and oversensitive. I can't win against them. You know I'm a straightforward person. I hate playing mind games the most."

Although he knew the craft of scheming, he did not want to be a cunning man when he had his sister supporting everything.

Who would pull out the scheming card if there were no problems?

"I have a good impression of Caroline. She's much better than your other female friends."

"You only have one brother. Can you bear letting me marry into my wife's family? Can you bear seeing me being controlled by a woman in the future? What's the point when my daughter can't even take after my surname?"

Hayden was at a loss for words.

She truly admired Caroline even if the people of Jensburg doubted Caroline, thinking she was weak and could not take over the Fisher family. Besides, the head of the Fishers was seventy years old. Even if her constitution was healthy, she would retire a few years down the road.

Could Caroline succeed her within several years?

That fake daughter had been nurtured by the head of the Fisher household since she was young.

Although she was not their flesh and blood, she had lived with the Fishers and called the head of household her mother. She was also involved in some of the family businesses, so she held some influence herself.

The fake daughter had been treated as a successor for so many years, yet she was exposed just when she was about to take over the position. How would she concede the position to the biological heir? Once Caroline took over her mother's position, the fake daughter would face a tough situation.

After all, Caroline and the fake daughter shared no sibling affection.

The downside of the Fishers was that the head's husband must marry into the family.

The Queens only had one son, which was Hugh. Their parents would not agree to him marrying into the Fisher family.

Hayden found it unfortunate.

She wondered who Caroline would take a fancy to and become her husband.
