Chapter 3388
Eventually, Old Mrs. Stone accepted Audrey, also because she gave birth to two boys and a girl. Audrey only truly felt at ease in the business world after this. Old Mrs. Stone especially doted on Elisa, whose temperament was similar to hers.
"You're being modest, Missy Drey. You've fully inherited Ms. Tiara's talents and would do well anywhere you go." Patrick's words were full of pride like a parent bragging about their child.
As Darrell and Audrey helped Patrick out of the room, she laughed. "I wasn't yet the heir of the Fishers and didn't have this status to back me up, so I had to start my own business. Otherwise, as someone's employee, I would have to be an excellent judge of character in everything I do, and many things were beyond my control."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Later on, she indeed started her own company. After Clive stepped up, she handed her company to him to manage and she stepped down, spending her retirement peacefully with Darrell. From time to time, she would worry about her children's happy-ever-afters. She did not have to worry much about Clive and could stop worrying about Elisa now too.
Anthony, however, was her biggest headache. No matter what she said or did, he refused to listen when it came to marriage. He would not show up to blind dates and would make excuses to slip away if his date went looking for him or even dress like a homeless man and tell the girl that he was a slob.
All the blind dates Audrey arranged for Anthony were socialites in Wiltspoon, who naturally would never think highly of his shenanigans. Thus, nothing came to fruition. However, it was also mainly because Anthony rarely showed his face at upper-class events. Since Clive was managing the family business, he could do whatever he liked and was rarely at home. Sometimes, he would only come home once a year.
Few understood him. They thought

always extremely disappointed when they compared him to Clive. Slowly, the rich madams of Wiltspoon grew reluctant to introduce any young lady to Anthony. Some were also afraid the ladies would find difficulty getting along with Elisa. After all, Elisa was notorious amongst the elites in Wiltspoon. Only recently had it taken a turn for the better, though her previously arrogant and belligerent image remained etched onto everyone's minds.
"I hear a child laughing." Patrick could not help but say when he heard Sonny laugh. Actually, he really liked kids. When Tiara was still alive, he liked spending time playing with the two young misses after he was done with work. Audrey spent much of her first eight years on his shoulders.
Lisa had loved clinging to him too, because he doted and cared for them like they were his own. Children had pure hearts and could sense his sincerity, so naturally, they were attached to him.

After Doc and the rest saved him from the attempted assassination on him, he watched their disciples grow up through the decades he lived with them. Each of them had been mischievous but fortunately, were also sensible. Now, those naughty children had all grown into influential figures in their various industries.
“That's Liberty's son, Sonny. He's about three years old and can't settle down. He resembled Lisa a lot. When you look at him, it's like you're looking at Lisa when she was a kid."
Patrick chuckled. "That's good. I suppose it's a bit of a comfort that she has a grandson. She-" Suddenly, his smile dropped and he said sadly, “If I'd found you two earlier, nothing would have happened to Ms. Lisa and she would still be alive and well."
Audrey still grieved her one and only sister, but she had to comfort Patrick for fear of the intense emotions stressing him out in his old age and causing problems. "Liberty and Serenity are both fine. They've even managed to exact justice for everything Lisa had suffered in the past.'
