โOf those who have joined the workforce, theyโre either helping with the family business or setting up their own. Which one of them isnโt successful? Theyโre all wealthy enough that they might actually scoff at our assets.โTania had no comment on that, but finally said, โIโll leave it all to my grandchildren then.โJust like Grandma May.After her sons got married, she tried giving her sons and daughters-in-law a portion of her assets, but apart from the jewelry she gave her daughters-in-law, they refused anything else.They told her to spend however and as much as she fancied to her heartโs content.How could an old lady spend so much money on her own though?She had many filial grandchildren too. Even then, she could not spend all her money, so she decided to invest it.As the person who raised the outstanding man that Zachary was, she had never made a loss in her investments before. As a result, her personal assets just kept growing.Grandma May then said she was going to l

Elisa teased the secretary, โDo you want to get married, Helen? I can introduce some guys to you. I guarantee youโll be happy for the rest of your life.โHelen was a young, fresh graduate and was recently hired as Serenityโs secretary.Helen refused politely. โThank you, Ms. Stone. However, Iโve been dating my boyfriend since I was in uni. Weโre in a steady relationship, and I have no thoughts of breaking up.โโWhere does your boyfriend work?โ Elisa asked. โHe recently got a job at a small company. I donโt know if heโll stay for long. He said his remuneration package isnโt as good as mine.โUpon mentioning her boyfriendโs job, Helen's smiling expression turned into worry. She had a good relationship with him. However, he had not gotten any good job offers but still liked comparing himself with her. He believed that as a man, his salary could not be less than that of his partner. He found it embarrassing. Nevertheless, just like Helen, he was a fresh graduate without much

Serenity walked out of the office with her bag. The preschool was a ten-minute drive from the company. When she arrived, many luxury cars were already parked outside. Sonny was studying in the best preschool in Wiltspoon with fellow students coming from wealthy families. It was like a luxury car gallery outside the preschool before and after class started.Serenity got out of her car and walked to the entrance. She handed her pass to a teacher and waited for her to guide Sonny out. In the meantime, Serenity looked around. Mrs. Longbottom was not there. She did not see Mrs. Longbottom when she dropped off Sonny at school that morning either. Now that Serenity did not see Mrs. Longbottom after having met her frequently those days, she could not help but feel that she and Camryn might be overthinking. Maybe Mrs. Longbottom was not Carrie after all. Was their uncanny voices truly a coincidence?Serenity took her phone and sent a voice message to Camryn. She whispered, โDi

Serenity said, โEven if we canโt prove it this time, thereโll be other opportunities to do so. As long as sheโs pretending, we can definitely find a flaw.โTasha doesnโt know Mrs. Longbottom or Carrie well. She probably canโt prove anything.โCamryn agreed. โWeโll have to wait for another chance to present itself. I think Mrs. Longbottom is targeting you. You meet her much more often than I do.โDo you ever see Mrs. Longbottomโs younger sister-in-law every time you bump into her at the preschool?โSerenity answered, โNo. She would always say that her sister-in-law just entered or wasnโt out yet. I donโt know if sheโs telling the truth or not. Iโll hide in my car the next time I meet her to see if she truly picks up a child.โDid something happen at your company?โSerenity changed the topic. โJust attending a few meetings and handling some important documents. Since Iโve regained my sight, I should check on the company occasionally. I canโt push all my responsibility onto Dal. M

Next, Sonny told the driver and bodyguard, โI got a certificate, mister driver and mister bodyguard.โThey showered him with compliments too. In the meantime, Serenity initiated a video call with Liberty. Liberty only answered after some time, whispering, โSeren, Iโll call you back later if this isnโt urgent. Iโm negotiating with a client now.โโAlrighty. You can go on with your work. Itโs nothing urgent. I just picked Sonny up. He wants to tell you that he got a certificate.โLiberty laughed. โSonny did a good job. Iโll call you back later.โโBye.โโBye, Mom. Please earn more money to pay for my school fees.โLiberty smiled. โOkay. You have to study hard and listen to Aunt Ser, Sonny. Donโt be naughty. If you are, Iโll ask Aunt Ser to slap your butt.โSonny winced. โIโm a good boy.โAfter speaking, he quickly ended the video call. He could imagine his motherโs hand reaching out from the phone to slap his butt. However, that had never happened before. Whenever he made a m

Serenity brought Sonny to Lewis & Co. He played in Duncanโs office for a while. As the trip to FC Manor was still on his mind, he told Serenity to take him to York Corporation not long after. He wanted to meet Zachary as soon as possible. Duncan laughed. โI guess your love for me is just lip service. You just got here, yet youโre already leaving to look for Zachary.โHe shut down his computer and stood up by using the table to support his weight. After taking two steps, he sat in his wheelchair and moved it forward. He said, โIโll go with you. I have a project that I want to discuss with him anyway.โSerenity wanted to push Duncanโs wheelchair but was rejected. โI switched to an electric wheelchair. I can control it myself.โSerenity said, โYou shouldโve done that long ago.โโIf I did, your sister might still not be mine now.โSerenity was speechless. She thought Duncan was a casual and honest person. She was sorely mistaken. He established Lewis & Co. and increased its

Mrs. Torres, whose job was only to spend money, had transformed into a successful career woman within a few years.She smiled. โYouโre the more impactful person, Mrs. York.โSerenity was the York familyโs missus. She did not have an outstanding family background and only found Aunt Audrey after marrying Zachary. Although her aunt was Mrs. Stone, none of the Stone familyโs assets belonged to Serenity. She simply gained a relative. To think that someone of Serenityโs background was able to be Zacharyโs wife; she must have lucked out. Everyone remembered Serenity as she married Zachary and gained a foothold in the York family despite coming from a mediocre one herself. Before she got pregnant, the public criticized her for being infertile but the Yorks defended her. They would target anyone who dared to badmouth Serenity. Even though there were rumors that Tania disliked Serenity, Tania was willing to forego her image and fight those who criticized Serenity. Who would then not

Liberty was a divorced woman, while Mrs. Torres was a widow. They both had a son, but Mrs. Torres thought she was more capable than Liberty was. She felt she had to fight for what she wanted. She thought she had a greater chance of winning against Liberty. Besides, Liberty was not in Wiltspoon at the moment. Serenity remained silent. Duncan smiled and said, โIf youโre not in a rush, we can meet another day. Sorry for your wasted trip.โMrs. Torres returned the smile. โItโs okay. You should handle matters of higher priorities first.โEvery business negotiation required several trips, or even over ten times going back and forth before it was finalized. Mrs. Torresโs secretary pressed the elevator button again while she walked toward the back of Duncanโs wheelchair, ready to push him into the elevator. Duncan refused her help, saying, โItโs fine, Mrs. Torres. This is an electric wheelchair. I can control it myself.โMrs. Torres smiled and withdrew her hands. She watched a

Austin replied, โBoth Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. Itโs really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.โSometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, โPhillip is just afraid heโll get here too late and that youโll assume heโs not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.โThe house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabellaโs room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, โAre you up yet, Ms. Isabella? Itโs time to have breakfast.โIsabella w

Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabellaโs private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austinโs cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louisโs place with his bag. โAustin.โLouis suddenly asked, โDid my sister come back last n

Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austinโs perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancรฉes. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancรฉe. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve

When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, โMs. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.โIโm polite to other women when I need to be. If theyโre unimportant, Iโll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I wonโt cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.โGet some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. Iโll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.โAfter speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancรฉe, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. โMs. Isabella.โIsabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, โThis may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?โIsabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?โSomeone like Austin,โ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, โI like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isnโt as financially well-off as mine, I donโt mind so long as heโs honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.โOf course, itโll be great if we have the same social status. That way, weโll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, weโll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.โโAlthough you can accept someone who isnโt from a similar family backgrou

After a moment of silence, Isabella said, โItโs okay. I know I was forcing it.โThere was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancรฉe was. He was already so protective of his fiancรฉe even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. โYou werenโt forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. Itโs only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.โAustin said gently, โItโs not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancรฉes for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.โTo be honest, we didnโt even know Nana had been choosing fiancรฉes for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us
