เข้าสู่ระบบChapter 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
Chapter 34: Lina Foxy’s TroublesIt turned out that Lina had come by the house today and was told by the butler that the children had already gone to school, so she decided to pick them up herself.Lina looked at me and asked with a slightly displeased expression.“You didn’t go pick up the children?”I simply smiled and replied calmly.“I already instructed the driver.”Lina fell silent and said nothing more. I knew what she wanted to ask, why I did not personally take care of the children and instead left it to the servants.But she did not know that in this life, I had decided to live comfortably and never let myself suffer anymore.As Lina, the children, and I entered the house, we saw Leo sitting on the living room sofa, reviewing work documents.After greeting their father, the children went upstairs to bathe, change clothes, and prepare for dinner.As soon as Lina saw Leo, she put on a pained expression and began to complain.“Cousin, you have to speak up for me this time.”Leo
Chapter 33: Future FundingAt this moment, Lilya was probably thinking that I was deliberately making things difficult for her and trying to force her to give up.Looking at her confused expression, I let out a soft sigh, gently reached out to pat her head, and said.“This is the path you want to take. I hope you can choose and decide your own path. But I also don’t want to see you get lost and suffer because of an impulsive decision.”For a child like Lilya, who had not yet experienced life, having dreams and hopes was a very good thing.A child cannot grow without dreams. That was something I was certain of.However, they were still too young to understand how harsh and frightening the real world could be. I did not want to extinguish Lilya’s dream, because I knew that dream also carried her love for her mother.But since Leo had given me the authority to decide, I could not simply ignore it and let her do whatever she wanted.I sighed inwardly and gave a bitter smile.“Looks like I
