LOGINJane smiled. “Chloe was just telling me to relax too. She said Noelle is definitely my future daughter-in-law and won’t get away. Laurence simply doesn’t dare to marry her right now because he’s afraid something might happen to him.“If he truly wants to get married one day, I believe he’ll be able to convince Noelle to accept the change in their relationship. Noelle is far too rigid and serious. Even we elders can’t persuade her. Thankfully, she dotes on the three girls, so Chloe can still talk some sense into her.”Chloe was very busy and could not constantly pay attention to Laurence’s love life.When Laurence video-called her for help, he ended up getting scolded and thoroughly looked down upon by her instead.Jane and Lilian strolled around half the estate together.Soon, they each had to head out.Someone had paid a huge sum to invite Lilian to perform a major surgery at a hospital. After leaving home, she headed straight to the airport. The destination was far away, requir
In Jane’s eyes, her nephew was extremely impressive. In his twenties, he had relied on his exceptional medical skills to open a private hospital, which was thriving. Oliver’s medical expertise was also widely praised.Although his natural talent could not compare to Laurence’s, he had at least been influenced and taught by his mother since childhood, making him far superior to many others.“Stop always comparing Oliver with Laurence. Laurence grew up beside the legendary Doc. He started learning medicine much earlier, so he practiced medicine for much longer than Oliver had.“Anyway, I think all the children in our family are outstanding. So many people envy how well our children were raised. Among CEOs our age, who else is actually able to retire?“Although they are also training their children to take over, they still can’t let go because their children aren’t capable of supporting an entire family business.“But the children in our family can all stand on their own and take ove
Lilian added, “Chloe left a bit later than usual this morning. What held her up?”Chloe’s daily departure time was like clockwork, yet today she was nearly ten minutes late, which was why Lilian asked about it.Jane laughed. “You actually noticed that? I don’t even pay attention to exactly when she leaves every day. I only know that by the time her father and I return from our walk, she’s already gone.“By the time we reach home at night, she still hasn’t come back. She leaves early and returns late every single day, even busier than we were in our younger days. Even though we live together, we don’t even see her often.“Today I deliberately got up early just to wait for her. Otherwise, it’s really hard to see her.“I only have this one daughter. I originally wanted to pamper her endlessly and let her live freely without burdens, as long as she was happy and healthy. But she insisted on taking over the family business. It pains me so much, yet I can’t do anything about it.“My da
Jane followed Chloe out and watched as her daughter’s car drove away, followed closely by the bodyguards’ vehicle.After a long while, she muttered to herself, “Children are still cutest when they’re little.”When children were young, they stayed by their parents’ side every day and relied on them more.Once they grew up, though, they had to go to work, often leaving early and returning late due to company matters. Jane only got a little bit of time to talk to Chloe when she ate breakfast.Usually, there were very few phone calls and messages from her daughter.Even though Chloe came home every day, Jane still felt as though her daughter worked far away at the edge of the world.Everyone was busy.Chloe had made it clear that she would not take over Jane’s business, so Jane still had to manage it herself for now. In a few more years, when her energy declined, she would hand it over to her son.Chloe had inherited FC & Co., but Connor, the elder twin, could not possibly do nothi
Laurence fell silent for a moment before replying to Chloe with a voice message, “She did come out of the kitchen, but she eats very quickly. She finished in just two or three minutes. I was too busy talking to her, and before I knew it, she had already finished eating, washed the dishes, and gone out.“I hadn’t even started eating yet.”Chloe was speechless.Noelle was simply born to counter her brother.No matter how domineering her brother was outside, once he returned home and stood before Noelle, he could no longer act tough, simply because he doted on her too much.He could not bear to upset her.In the end, Chloe sent Laurence another message. “Serves you right!”He had video-called her for help and wasted her time. She even helped him talk to Noelle, but look what happened?Laurence covered his face. He really did deserve it.Chloe sent no more messages after that.She was preparing to head out for work.Jane asked, “How are Laurence and Noelle doing now?”“Still un
Chloe quickly ended the call.Laurence’s face reddened slightly. His sister’s words felt like a slap to his face, as though she was saying he was useless.He, however, truly had no way of dealing with Noelle.Knowing that the only people who could make Noelle compromise were the three ladies, he had no choice but to shamelessly bother Chloe.Back at Austin’s house, he had troubled Callia.Even Ben and Jane could not persuade Noelle.Noelle said nothing. She silently returned to the kitchen, brought out her unfinished breakfast, and sat down at one end of the dining table, deliberately keeping her distance from Laurence.“Mr. Laurence, you think my breakfast is too bland, so what I eat is indeed different from yours.”Noelle only gave that one explanation before falling silent again and continuing her breakfast.Once finished, she still needed to go outside and inspect Laurence’s car, worried that someone might tamper with it.Noelle knew how to repair cars. Even Laurence hims
She also dreamed that he said a lot of things to her, but she did not hear them.In the dream, she told him to speak louder because she could not hear him, but his mouth simply continued to open and close. She was unable to hear a single word and had been incredibly anxious.Mrs. Lane turned to look a
Serenity said, “Did Elisa recognize the wrong car?”Zachary smiled and said, “Maybe not. Perhaps Ms. Stone has let go of her feelings for Mr. York and fallen in love with Mr. Johnson.”Serenity thought Elisa had been infatuated with Mr. York for many years, so it was unlikely that Elisa would recogniz
Before Hank and his wife divorced, Olivia felt that her son had good taste when she saw Jessica. Not only did she not think that Hank was wrong to betray his family, she felt he was still competent to be able to attract a young and lovely girl like Jessica despite already being a husband and father.
Tania stared intently at her son for a while before breaking the silence. “You call the shots for your own affairs. I can only give you some advice. I’m going back before your dad gets worried. Are you and your wife coming home for New Year?” “Didn’t Nana tell you? I’ll be back with Seren to the old
