Landon's wife, Emma, was something else. She was fearless, saying whatever came to mind.They always knew Landon as ruthless and efficient in business. However, when it came to his family, he had always been lenient. Now, it seemed like Emmaโs bold move reflected Landonโs true feelingsโthat he was done with the Stirlings.Kane watched from the side with mixed feelings, while Liz, whom Emma interacted with daily, was stunned. Was that the same gentle Emma she knew at work? She had no idea Emma could be that fierce when crossed, but it was strangely satisfying.Leto, on the other hand, was just a useless guy. To say he was Landonโs cousin was truly embarrassing. "Landon, aren't you going to rein in your wife?" Ruth approached, shielding her son.She glared at Landon begrudgingly. Why should her precious son endure such humiliation?Landon smirked. "Was my wife say wrong?"For years, hasn't your family relied on us to survive?" Landon asked bluntly, leaving Ruth furious and embarr

"Why do you think that?" Leto snapped at Emma, accusing her. "There's no way my grandfather wants Landon back at the company!"After all, if Landon returned, what was left for him? Leto could not allow that to happen, not under any circumstances."Is that so?" Emma asked Leto, "Are you sure about that?""Absolutely!" Leto declared firmly before adding, "My grandfather is running the company just fine, and he's taught me a lot. I've learned everything I need to know."With the two of us managing the company, there's no need to bother Landon," Leto continued, his eyes darting nervously toward Landon, avoiding his grandfather's gaze.He was terrified that Landon might suddenly interject, prompting his grandfather to relent and bring Landon back into the company.What would happen to him then? He had just started taking over some aspects of the company and was not about to give that up."And what about your grandfather's wishes?" Emma pressed, turning her attention to Leopold and fo
My Mysterious Husbandย ย ย Chapter 158
Needless to say, Leopold's expression had turned notably sour.Leto chuckled and said, "Grandpa, don't be upset. Landon has left, but I'm here with you."He wanted to show he was a befitting grandson, but Leopold needed more than just Letoโs company. The company's affairs were too complex for Leto to handle. He was utterly useless in that regard.Leopold felt increasingly frustrated. Could Landon not see his predicament? Surely Landon understood but refused to help. It was intentional and meant to embarrass him.Leopold gritted his teeth and coldly remarked, "I'm tired. All of you can do as you please."With that, he turned and walked away.Leto rushed to follow, but Ruth held him back. "Stay here and greet the guests. Your father and I will go to your grandfather."It was a prime opportunity for her son to network with those shareholders and executives.Anthony nodded in agreement with his wife. "Exactly. You stay. Your grandfather has us."After they left to catch up to Leop

Landon's gaze made Emma feel a little uneasy. She reached up to touch her face and then raised her hand to find a mirror. "Is there something on my face?""Nope." Landon chuckled. "It just feels weird.""Weird? What's weird?" Emma nervously touched her face. "I don't usually wear makeup. Is it too strange?""Yeah." Landon nodded. "Strangely good."Emma froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Thatโs so corny!"Landon laughed too, not at all embarrassed by her teasing. Instead, he asked, "I think it's okay. Donโt you think so too?""Ugh, I can't handle it." Emma shivered. "It's giving me goosebumps."Then, she said, "Let's go home.โ Since there was nothing else for them to do there, they could leave.However, Landon suggested, "Let's grab a bite. Ash must have eaten by now.""Oh, sure." Emma nodded, not objecting.They would have to make dinner by the time they got home, and the commotion would disturb Asher too. With that, Landon drove directly to the restaurant.Afte

During dinner, Emma focused intently on her meal. Honestly, she had never eaten lobster or snow crab before, but now she understood why they were considered expensive. They were delicious, and she must bring Asher here sometime!While Emma and Landon enjoyed their meal cheerfully, Leopold was seething with anger. Did Landon really think he could not manage a company? Back in the day, he was the one who ran it, long before Landon was even born! Landon had seriously miscalculated, thinking he could use that against him.With Leopold's determination ignited, he planned to make a big comeback and make Landon regret challenging him. Unfortunately, Leopold had been out of the business circle for too long. Over the years, Landon had been running the company, expanding it rapidly. Hence, there were many aspects of the business that Leopold could not even begin to comprehend, let alone manage.Leopold's meddling only caused chaos in the parts of the business that were still barely hold

Emma rushed to place the water glass on a nearby table. Her voice was laced with concerned as she said, "Ms. Lynch, please try to recall where you might have placed it.""It was right here," Ms. Lynch huffed, her frustration evident. She pressed a button on the intercom and spoke, "Someone come in here. I've lost my necklace!"The salon manager entered the room with quick footsteps, accompanied by the staff member who had earlier attended to Ms. Lynch."Ms. Lynch, what valuable item seems to be missing?" the manager inquired anxiously."My necklace is gone!" Ms. Lynch gritted her teeth, her face etched with displeasure. "The one I had on when I arrived."The manager immediately attempted to soothe Ms. Lynch's ruffled feathers. "Ms. Lynch, please don't fret. Nothing ever goes missing at our establishment. It's likely it just slipped out of sight somewhere. I'll have someone look for it right away."Turning to the staff member who had assisted Ms. Lynch, the manager questioned, "Di

"Very well," Emma replied in a calm, firm voice. "But let me be clear, this matter is far from over for me.โI wonโt let anyone accuse me of something I didnโt do.โ She refused to be intimidated.After making her statement, Emma remained silent, waiting for the police to arrive and investigate the matter thoroughly.The manager looked at Ms. Lynch and could only try to calm her down in a low and soothing voice.Ms. Lynch sneered. "What am I supposed to be angry about?"My necklace is worth millions," she continued, her voice heavy with accusation, staring at Emma. "If it's proven that you stole it, you'll be spending years behind bars. But if you return it now, admit your guilt, and apologize, I might just consider forgiving you. I might even refrain from pressing charges."Otherwiseโฆ You can expect to rot in jail."The manager, alarmed by Ms. Lynch's threat, quickly tried to reason with Emma. "Miss, Ms. Lynch has been so generous. Please just admit your mistake and spare yourse
My Mysterious Husbandย ย ย Chapter 163
Ms. Lynch was taken aback by Emma's accusation.As Emma stared at Ms. Lynch, she had a feeling that Ms. Lynch was behind this setup.While she could not pinpoint the exact motive, the entire situation struck her as highly suspicious.It was impossible not to harbor doubts."What if you were wearing gloves while stealing it?" Ms. Lynch quickly retorted."Then let the police search the room for any gloves I might have worn!" Emma stood her ground."Fine, let them investigate thoroughly!" Ms. Lynch scoffed.Emma's eyes narrowed. Her voice was laced with sarcasm as she said, "So, you think even if the investigation proves I'm innocent, the worst that will happen to you for framing me is that you made a mistake and thatโll be it, right?"Ms. Lynch's silence and dismissive eye roll spoke volumes, confirming Emma's suspicions.Emma nodded, her determination unwavering. She pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and held it up for everyone to see."What if I have video footage to

โOf course, marriage is about mutual benefit. You treat me well, and I treat you well in return. You help me shoulder life's pressures, and I offer you support. Thatโs what fosters a stable marriage,โ Emma stated matter-of-factly.โIt wonโt work if one side keeps giving while the other takes without giving anything in return.โAnd sometimes, it may seem like one side isnโt contributing, but there are always invisible sacrifices being made.โOtherwise, how could any marriage last?โ Landon wrapped his arms around Emma and sighed softly. โYou know, what I love most about you is your clear understanding of things.โYou give me a sense of security,โ Landon said candidly. He knew Emma was not the type to overthink things as she was a very reasonable person.โYou see, Asher has grown so optimistic and cheerful because of you. Being with you makes me feel incredibly at ease. Thatโs something money canโt buy.โEmma thought seriously for a moment. โIf you need comfort, I feel like ther

Emma froze, her curiosity piqued. โWhat did you learn?โShe was not surprised that Asher had absorbed her lessons as that was her goal in teaching him. But what had Landon learned? โI learned a lot,โ Landon replied with a smile. โFor example, your attention to detail and patience, your tolerance for others, and your ability to handle situations calmlyโโEmma laughed, breaking his train of thought. โStop, stop, stop! If you keep going, I might start believing I'm some kind of superhero! Iโd be even better than you!โ โThen I'd really be lacking in self-awareness if I think that,โ Landon said as he wrapped his arms around her. โYou genuinely possess many admirable qualitiesโexactly what I need.โโAlright, alright... what you need,โ Emma replied casually.Landon gently tapped her shoulder. โAre you brushing me off?โEmma pouted. โYou hit meโฆโLandon hurriedly rubbed her shoulder. โDid it hurt?โHe had not even used enough force to swat a fly but hearing Emma say it made him do

People loved to take advantage of a good deal, and after consulting the owner, the manager anticipated such behavior from the customers when he proposed the solution. Besides, both the owner and the manager possessed a broader vision. They understood that they could not let a small financial loss tarnish their restaurant's reputation.The way they handled the incident turned into a great advertising opportunity. Those diners who experienced the situation firsthand became loyal customers. They now had a favorable impression of the restaurant and would be the first to recommend it for future gatherings or family outings. No amount of traditional advertising could rival the power of genuine recommendations from friends and family.Both the restaurant owner and manager knew how to effectively navigate a business crisis. What could have been a damaging situation had transformed into positive publicity due to their prompt action.โLet Daddy explain the specifics of the business
My Mysterious Husbandย ย ย Chapter 495
The restaurant manager politely apologized and thanked them before clearing all the food from the table. Emma smiled. "I really like this restaurant."Landon nodded, recognizing that this was a business that understood customer service. Just then, Emma spotted Asherโs confused expression. "Those dishes we had earlier might have been touched by that lady."If someone used a spoon that others had already used to scoop food for me, would you be pleased by that?" Asher shook his head vigorously. "Not at all!""Exactly! So, the food that might have come into contact with that lady's saliva was removed and destroyed by the restaurant staff," Emma continued. Asher looked concerned at Emmaโs words. "That's such a waste!" "It is, but there's no other option," Emma sighed lightly. "If someone were to get sick from eating that food, it would be much worse. That was a terrible mistake that the lady made. "So the restaurant staff wants to make sure that the mistake was dealt with the

Asher nodded energetically. โYes!โโExactly! So, making mistakes isnโt scary, and not knowing things isnโt scary either. The key is to admit it boldly,โ Emma explained.โWhen we make a mistake, we correct it. If we donโt know something, and it doesnโt affect others, we donโt have to learn it if we donโt want to.โBut if it impacts others, we need to learn from it,โ she continued.โJust like that lady earlier, she needed to learn not to use shared tongs to serve food. But for something like not wanting to do someoneโs makeup, thatโs okay, she doesnโt have to learn that.โShared tongs are necessary for everyone, and they canโt be replaced. If you donโt want to do someoneโs makeup, they can find someone else to help. That service can be substituted.โAsher listened intently and nodded his head. โI understand now, Mommy!โLandon watched the entire exchange and silently marveled at Emmaโs approach. She had a knack for using examples from Asherโs own experiences to explain things, m

Asher beamed up at Emma, a sense of pride shining on his face.Emma finally gathered her emotions and turned to Asher. โMommy makes mistakes too, Ash.โAsherโs smile faltered as confusion washed over him. โHuh?โEmma chuckled softly and ruffled his hair. โItโs not just Mommy who makes mistakes, Daddy does too.โโReally?โ Asher exclaimed as he turned to look at Landon. His face was filled with disbelief.Landon smiled, though he was unsure where Emma was going with the conversation. Nevertheless, he cooperated without hesitation. โThatโs right. Daddy makes mistakes too.โAsherโs mouth hung open in surprise, clearly shocked to learn that his impressive parents could also err.โNot just your parents,โ Emma continued with a smile, โeven people who are more capable than us make mistakes.โโWhy?โ Asher asked, furrowing his brows in confusion. โIf everyone makes mistakes, then why do we even learn?โโBecause we work hard to make fewer mistakes and try our best not to cause trouble

โWhat disruption? Youโre just bullying your customers because your business is big!โ The middle-aged woman exploded in anger. โDonโt think Iโm easy to push around. Iโm calling the police!โThe restaurant manager nodded calmly. โPlease do. Since your actions have caused damage to our establishment, we will also hold you accountable for those damages.โโDamages? What damages?โ the woman shouted, stomping her feet in frustration.Unfazed, the manager responded evenly, โBecause of your actions, we now need to remove and replace all the food at the serving stations. Youโll be responsible for covering those losses.โAnd if any customers request refunds because of this, weโll refund them in full. If they ask for compensation, weโll provide that too. All of these expenses will be your responsibility.โThe woman nearly exploded at the managerโs words. โYouโre deluded!โCome on, son, weโre leaving!โ She yanked her sonโs arm, pulling him toward the exit.But the restaurant staff was not ab

Since Asher had decided to eat one piece of cake himself, he chose fewer cakes, worried that he would not be able to finish them.โLook at that! Heโs already learning how to make his own choices,โ Emma thought proudly.Emma followed Asherโs lead, picking up the cakes he wanted. Just as they were about to leave, Asher suddenly grabbed her sleeve.Puzzled, Emma looked down and asked, โWhat is it, sweetie?โโTheyโre using tongs to feed each other,โ Asher said, frowning in displeasure.Emma glanced over and saw a middle-aged woman holding a pair of tongs, about to feed a cake to her son. The boy, around eight or nine, reached out to take the cake with his hand, but the woman pulled the tongs back and scolded him, โDonโt use your hands! Just open your mouth.โEmma felt her face flush in disbelief. โWhat are they thinking?โ she protested quietly.The woman did not want her son to use his hands, claiming it was dirty, yet she was about to feed him with the tongs that everyone used to

Landon smiled. โI like eating too. Our whole family does. But what I enjoy most is eating with all of you.โAsher quickly agreed, โIโm always happy when I eat with Mommy and Daddy.โThe family of three arrived at the buffet. Thankfully, Emma had already reserved a spot using her phone while they were still on the road.They headed straight to a small private room, ordered their food through the app, and waited for the server to bring it.โMommyโฆโ Asher called as he tugged at Emmaโs shirt. โI want some cake.โEmma laughed and put on her sunglasses. โLetโs go get some cake.โAsher beamed with excitement. โOkay!โ With one hand he held Emmaโs hand tightly, while he swung the other one back and forth enthusiastically. He hurried along, and his wide, gleaming eyes searched eagerly for the cake display ahead.โMommy, over there!โ He spotted the table filled with cakes in an instant.Even though he was thrilled to see the cakes, Asher did not let go of Emmaโs hand or rush ahead.
