LOGINEverly had no cousins on her father’s side and only from her mother’s side.On her father’s side, there were only distant relatives left. The closest ones were from her granduncle’s family—Kaden’s brother-in-law—but she did not see them very often these days.The only side that still maintained regular contact was Maddie’s family. However, Everly did not like her maternal uncles and aunts because they were always trying to get favors from the Flemming family, hoping to take over and carve up Flemming Group.With Everly being twenty-eight and still unmarried, Maddie’s relatives were becoming increasingly anxious. Every now and then, they would introduce her to different men, as if rushing her to get married would somehow strip her of her right to inherit Flemming Group.As if marriage would change anything when she had already taken control of the company.Even if she got married, she would still be a Flemming, and everything from the Flemming family would belong to her. Her matern
Sonny led Serenity and her family into the private dining room upstairs, where he had earlier hosted the Flemmings.“Aunt Seren, I’ll go upstairs and invite Old Mr. Flemming and Ms. Flemming down. The dishes have been ordered, but you can take a look and add anything else you like.”Serenity replied, “If you’ve ordered, that’s fine. This is our hotel anyway. Anything you choose, we’ll eat.”She and Zachary trusted the food here completely. After all, it was their own business.“Go ahead. We’ll have some drinks first.”Sonny muttered an acknowledgment before he left.Not long after, he returned with the duo from the Flemming family.Old Mr. Flemming was an elder, so when Serenity and her family saw them, they all stood up to greet him.“Hello, Old Mr. Flemming, Ms. Flemming.”“Old Mr. Flemming, I don’t think I need to introduce them to you. I’m sure you already know who they are,” Sonny said with a smile. “This is my Aunt Serenity, my Uncle Zachary, and my cousin, Heath, the he
His sister and cousins were still too young. At the moment, they were not capable of taking on such heavy responsibilities.His parents were getting older as well. As the eldest child and among his cousins, he naturally had to shoulder the burden so that Callie and his cousins could freely pursue the lives they wanted.Fortunately, what he enjoyed most was making money, so he had no complaints about carrying responsibility.“It was better when you were a baby,” Zachary said casually.“Exactly. Babies are the best. They’re truly carefree. All they do is eat, sleep, play… and fight with Dad over Mom.”Zachary was speechless. His kid was clearly doing it on purpose to provoke him.Serenity laughed and urged him again. “Start the car. Sonny is waiting for us. Lil’ Bun, stop bickering with your dad.” Heath smiled. “He’s the greedy one! He’s always hogging you, Mom. You belong to Callie and me!”“Brat,” Zachary laughed as he scolded him. “Without me, the two of you wouldn’t even e
“Right now, our son still isn’t in the mood to think about marriage or anything serious. There’s no need to rush him. Let it happen naturally.”Serenity was not worried at all.Both of her children were outstanding. Her son would have no trouble finding a wife, and her daughter would have no shortage of suitors either.Once her son decided to get married, there would be plenty of girls lining up to marry him.“Sonny is the one we should be thinking about. We should keep an eye out and see if there’s anyone suitable to introduce to him. Liberty may not say it directly, but she told me privately that we should pay more attention to Sonny’s situation.”Sonny was already in his thirties. Not only were their relatives concerned, but the Brown family was also hoping he would settle down and start his own family soon.After all, he was the Browns’ only heir.Things were different now. The Brown family truly cared about him. Even Jessica, his stepmother, was doing her best to make up
Zachary said, “In my heart, your mom always comes first.”“I know Mom comes first in your heart, and Callia and I have never wanted to compete for that spot. It’s just… Dad, you shouldn’t make it so obvious. Mom just got here.”Heath stood up and gave his seat to Serenity.“Mom, say something. He’s always like this. He’s hurting our feelings as his children.”He complained to his mother, acting as if he had been deeply wronged.Serenity gently pulled away Zachary’s arm, which was wrapped around her waist.Even though their children were used to it, she still felt a little embarrassed. They were an old married couple, and their children were grown. Yet, Zachary was still so clingy.“Don’t mind what your dad says, Lil’ Bun. That’s just how he is. This isn’t your first day knowing him. What were you two talking about just now? Continue. I won’t disturb you.”Instead of sitting down immediately, Serenity went to pour herself a glass of water.“You both had better get done with fin
“Your workload is heavy enough. Stop thinking about helping Heath shoulder more. That’s his responsibility as the eldest,” Serenity said.It was not that she did not feel sorry for her son, because she did.However, those were her son’s responsibilities.If Heath had not been capable enough to take over York Corporation, it would be fine. However, since he could do it, he had to bear that weight.Zachary often talked about retiring, but in truth, he still wanted to help Heath ease the burden a little so the boy would not be so exhausted.Sonny let out a sigh. “There’s no helping it. We all have our own burdens to carry.” “Are you going to have dinner with the Flemmings later? I’ll go and check if Zachary has time. If he does, we’ll join you for dinner.“Ask Heath if he’s available too,” she added.“Okay.”After the call ended, Serenity headed straight to York Corporation.Having been the CEO’s wife for over twenty years, she moved through York Corporation as comfortably as i
Will believed that the men the matchmaker introduced to Quinn were unattractive. Dave did not object to the match, while Zoey reminded her son to be considerate of Julian and not hurt their guest. Everyone in the Crawford family was trained except Zoey. Due to their competitive nature, they liked to
Belinda did not immediately explode. She inquired, “May I ask if Hunter Clark is here?”“Who? Who’s looking for me?”Hunter happened to come out of the bathroom, having just finished showering.Holding a dry towel to wipe his hair, he asked upon hearing the question.When he saw his wife standing at the
Those people were stingy as well. They would take everything and sweep the house clean at every visit. Luckily, Belinda did not seem to like them a lot. Those thieves dared not visit without her permission. Otherwise, Emma would have gone crazy if she had to interact with them often. “Do you have a
The butler was still clueless about the incident upstairs. However, as the butler, she had to send the guests off when the madam of the house was not around. She replied that she would relay Liberty’s words to Belinda. Liberty got into Hayden’s car while her bodyguards shared a ride with Hayden’s bo
