LOGINChapter 40: Welcome to my team, Lina FoxyMy answer left Lilya completely stunned, and even Leo almost choked on his food, coughing for quite a while.No matter what, in this life I had already decided that I would not get involved in household matters and would instead live as a relaxed modern woman focused on making money.What I prioritized now was no longer praise or recognition from this family of three, but my own money-making project.Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the official face-to-face interview arrived.Early in the morning, I woke up, carefully did my makeup, and chose an outfit that was both elegant and professional. The reason I put so much effort into my appearance was because today I would meet someone extremely important.I sat in the large meeting room waiting. The moment Lina pushed the door open and saw me, her eyes looked as if they were about to pop out.She was so shocked that she couldn’t control her expression, her hand trembling
Chapter 39: Can You Cook for Us Every Day?Bianca was an actress I liked very much. All the movies she acted in were incredibly good.In my previous life, when I learned that she was Leo’s ex-wife, I thought I truly couldn’t compare to her. It was just that she had unfortunately passed away. Otherwise, I really would have wanted to meet her in real life at least once.Seeing the two children’s excited expressions as they stared at the screen, I smiled and gently patted Lilya and Ryan on the head, then asked.“You admire your mother a lot too, don’t you? I do as well, so can you tell me about your mother?”The two children looked at me, their eyes both doubtful and unable to hide their happiness at hearing someone mention their mother.Lilya took a sip of water to moisten her throat, then began to chatter endlessly about her mother.“Mom is the most amazing actress in the film industry. Everyone says she has won many major awards at film festivals every year. Every movie she starred in
Chapter 38: That Is Lilya and Ryan’s Mother!Just as I thought, Lina did not criticize me for squeezing money out of the brother she admired.Lina was exactly the type of person who, even with strong personal admiration, still lived very realistically. To her, benefits and fairness for herself mattered more than anything else.Therefore, she did not hesitate when facing the moral constraints that outsiders tried to impose on her.Linda looked at me, thought for a long moment, then asked.“But is it really okay to do that? It will affect your reputation. In the future, it won’t be easy for you to marry someone else.”Linda’s concern was not without reason. No matter how modern and developed this world was, people still seemed to care too much about a woman’s purity.Not to mention, I was just a girl from an ordinary family. After divorcing Leo, I would no longer belong to the Dominic family, nor would I be part of the Oliver family, just an Ella with no backing.So what?I smiled confi
Chapter 37: Greed?Looking at Ann’s composure, it seemed the Oliver family hadn’t run into any trouble with that five million dollars yet. But for someone who disliked sharing anything with me, even something she had already discarded like Ann, the moment she heard me bring up that sum, she immediately flew into a rage.“What? You still dare to mention that money so casually? Who would suck the blood of their own family and still act so smug like you?”Ann grabbed my arm and shouted.“Return the money you swallowed! Someone like you being able to get married off is already lucky enough, and you still dare to squeeze money out of your own family?”Ann’s words made me laugh so hard I had to clutch my stomach, chuckling uncontrollably.Who would suck the blood of their own family?Wasn’t that exactly what the Oliver family had done to me!In my previous life, when they threw me away like a worn-out shoe and tried every way possible to drain me, had they ever thought about family bonds?W
Chapter 36: A Chance EncounterLilya was furious but didn’t know what to say to retort. After all, she was just a child. So aside from stomping her feet and throwing out simple, completely unthreatening words, there was nothing else she could do.“Y-you… just wait! My father will never love you!”After saying that, she even stuck out her tongue to tease me, then quickly turned and ran away as if afraid I might hit her.This childish behavior made me burst out laughing, clutching my stomach.I looked downstairs. The butler was preparing the children for school, and Leo had already left for the company early, so it seemed I had a free morning.“Hmm, I guess it’s time to start my work for the day.”After breakfast, I told the butler that I had something to do outside and wouldn’t be back for lunch, so there was no need to wait or prepare anything.Leo had given me a car and told me I could use it anytime. Only now did I realize how useful it was that I had decided to get a driver’s licen
Chapter 35: Sleeping Together or Separately?I was so absorbed in writing the plan for my investment project that I lost track of time. It wasn’t until the butler knocked on my door to inform me that dinner was ready that I realized it was already evening.I closed my laptop, stretched my body, and turned to ask the butler.“It’s already this late? Is Lina staying for dinner?”The butler nodded, his expression as if this was something very familiar.“The young master told her to go home, but she insisted on staying for dinner, so he couldn’t refuse.”I nodded and went downstairs with the butler, then took my seat at the dining table.At the table, Lina happily piled food into Lilya and Ryan’s bowls.“You two need to eat more to grow quickly.”Lina truly cared deeply for the children. Perhaps partly because she admired her cousin, and partly because she pitied the children for losing their mother so early.In my previous life, I had also wished to become as close to the children as Lin
