LOGINIt took a long moment before Serenity finally spoke. “If you happen to meet a good man—someone like your father—it’s better for you to get married. At least you’ll have a partner, someone to help share the load. But if you truly can’t find anyone, you can follow Everly’s lead.”Jeanne replied, “Capable and fiercely loyal men like my dad are incredibly rare these days.”That was a blessing from her parents’ generation; none of the younger crowd had been lucky enough to find anyone like that yet.After a moment’s silence, Serenity said, “You’re still young, so there’s no need to rush. Just leave it to fate. Who knows, in a few years, you might just stumble upon a capable, wonderful man just like your father.“Though, don’t use your dad as the absolute standard, or you’ll never find anyone. Even someone with half his qualities would be enough.”“I know, Aunt Seren. It’s not like I’m against marriage or having kids. I’ve known what my responsibilities were since I was a little girl. L
After hearing what Serenity had to say, Jeanne said, “What’s there to fear from toxic relatives? As long as she’s capable, she can crush them no matter how many there are.“Ultimately, it depends on whether Ms. Everly has the guts to do it. If she doesn’t have the nerve to handle toxic relatives, how is she supposed to manage a multi-billion-dollar corporation? Does she have lots of issues in her family?”Serenity explained, “The Flemming family is small. They’ve only had one child for generations. By the time it got to Everly’s generation, her father had passed away before she was even born. She’s an only child, with no older or younger siblings.“The ones running the show are Everly and her grandfather. Rumor has it that her mother is incredibly soft-hearted and easily manipulated by her own brothers and sisters.“I actually had someone look into the Flemming family. Everly definitely has the guts. Her maternal relatives are too afraid to cross her face-to-face. Even if they conv
The Yorks raised their children strictly according to Grandma May’s traditional playbook. It was not just about getting good grades in school; the kids were also required to have incredible life skills. In short, they had to be well-rounded, fully capable individuals who could handle anything thrown their way.As the future head of the Fisher family, Jeanne shouldered a massive burden. Even though her parents pampered her and spoiled her rotten, she had to master every single lesson required of an heir. That was why basic household chores like cooking and prepping meals were a total walk in the park for her.Serenity smiled and said, “You rarely get a chance to visit, and here you are helping me with chores. I’m starting to feel a little guilty.”“Oh, I do this at home all the time. Sometimes I even cook full meals for Mom and Dad.” “How are your parents doing lately?” Serenity asked, checking in on Liberty’s life.In truth, the two sisters called or video-chatted with each oth
Jeanne spent about half an hour walking around the office before receiving a call from Serenity. Instead of heading back up to Sonny’s office, she headed straight for the exit. “Aunt Seren!” Seeing Serenity, Jeanne jogged out of the building.Serenity had not bothered driving into the company parking lot to avoid the hassle. Instead, she had just pulled up by the front gates and gave Jeanne a call.Watching Jeanne jog toward her, Serenity smiled and said, “Slow down! You’re in heels.”However, Jeanne did not stop.“Did you let Sonny know you were leaving?” Serenity handed her a large bag of snacks and reached out to gently stroke her cheek, adding, “You’ve lost weight. Have you been skipping meals? I know work is important, but your health comes first. You need to eat on time and stop staying up so late.”“I lost weight? I thought I was gaining some.” Jeanne took the heavy bag of snacks from Serenity. They were all her favorites. When she was a little girl, she had been a to
Jeanne’s eyes instantly lit up, and she asked, “Who?”“Ms. Callia.” Jeanne went speechless for a second. “Callia is our cousin. Of course, he stays in close touch with her. I’m asking if Sonny has a romantic interest! You’re his personal secretary, and you’re always with him, so you must know something.”“In that case, no, there really isn’t anyone. Mr. Brown doesn’t closely associate with any young women outside of work. In fact, ninety-nine percent of the female executives we do business with are much older than he is, usually by ten to twenty years, and some are even grandmothers.”Jeanne looked disappointed. “Are there really no younger ones? Don’t those business moguls have daughters, younger sisters, or granddaughters?”“Well, they do bring their daughters or granddaughters along to networking events sometimes to show them the ropes, but none of them have much personal contact with the boss.”Joseph smiled at Jeanne and added, “Ms. Jeanne, if Mr. Brown ever falls in love,
Jeanne knew there was gossip. She immediately stood up, slid over to sit right next to Sonny, and asked with intense curiosity, “Wait, Sonny, who wouldn’t be interested in you? Do you actually have a crush on someone? And she doesn't feel the same for you?”Good grief, who was this incredible woman who could actually resist her classy, handsome, generous, and utterly competent older brother?“No, I don’t have a crush on anyone.” “Oh, you definitely do! You definitely thought of someone just now, which is why you said there’s at least one person who wouldn’t be interested. Who is she? Tell me, Sonny. I promise I’ll keep your secret. I can even help you win her over! I’ll become her friend, get close to her, and then act as your ultimate wingwoman!”Jeanne nudged him, trying to coax the name out of him. She was dying to know who this mystery girl was. She deeply admired whoever had that kind of willpower.Sonny flicked Jeanne's forehead lightly, completely amused. “Do you really
Rosalie huffed.“Please. Getting to know you was the unluckiest moment of my life.“You say countless women want to marry you, so why aren’t you hitched yet? Didn’t Ms. Saunders just track you down earlier? What, did you reject her too?”She was well aware of Ms. Saunders’ feelings for River, jus
“Are you not going back to the company today?”Since Rosalie had learned about River’s family background, she decided to change the topic.“I have to go back for a meeting with Ms. Saunders later.“Can we have dinner together tonight, Rosalie?”Rosalie did not say yes. She replied, “I’m also bus
“Zack brought Sonny to school.”Grandma May caressed Heath’s face, “I guess you’ve decided to name him Heath. What about a middle name? Have you and Zachary thought of one?“We can help you think of a middle name.”Grandma May was eager. She had named her sons while she and her late husband thoug
If Grandma May were willing to come to Huntington and speak on his behalf, the Doyles would probably not punish him as much out of respect for her. However, the old lady would not come. She was the one who enjoyed bothering him the most. Dylan had a million complaints about Grandma May during
