Sierra nodded. "Okay."The mother-daughter duo sat on the couch, chatting about daily affairs. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Wendy jumped up in surprise, looking flustered.Sierra looked at Wendy in confusion, wondering why her mom's reaction was so strong to a simple doorbell."Mom, what's wrong?" Sierra asked with concern.Wendy forced a smile. "Nothing. Someone's at the door. I'll go check who it is."Wendy reached the door. When she saw through the camera that it was the lawyer, she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it might be him, returning after disappearing for a while.Opening the door, the lawyer walked in."Mr. Smith, what brings you here?" Wendy asked with a smile.Mr. Smith looked at Wendy and said, "There are some things I want to tell you in person."Wendy's heart skipped a beat. Mr. Smith was in charge of her divorce case, and usually, they communicated through phone calls or messages. Today, he came in person, which meant it had to be important.T

Sierra strolled towards the neighborhood entrance, lost in thought, when she seemed to collide with someone in a daze."Ouch..." The person she bumped into collapsed instantly, screaming, "Ouch, my back! It hurts so much."Sierra snapped out of her daze, looking at the person on the ground—a silver-haired elderly man. She could not fathom how she bumped into him, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her father's illegitimate child. Could she really have bumped into someone?The elderly man's expression seemed too exaggerated, though.Sierra was walking at a normal speed. How could she have hit him so hard?"You owe me money," the old man said, looking at Sierra. "My back… It’s broken."Sierra was at a loss for words.Now she understood she had encountered a scam.Sierra was furious. Already in a bad mood, she had nowhere to vent her frustration. Typically, she might have given a small amount to avoid trouble, but not today! Her anger was seeking an outlet, and this scammer

Sierra said, "...No."Now that her parents' divorce was inevitable, how could she stop it? Even if her dad did not want to divorce, her mom was determined to."So, what do you want me to do?" Paige asked.Sierra looked at Paige and moved her lips, wanting to say something but unsure how to start.Paige looked back at Sierra, understanding her sister's thoughts. Sierra had already talked to her about it the last time. What Sierra wanted was Quirks Enterprise.Before, Sierra had always seen Quirk Enterprise as their family's treasure. Since the Quirks only had two daughters, with Paige being less favored, Sierra always assumed the Quirks would naturally be hers. However, Bob now had a son with another woman, and it was not just any son. It was a grandson their grandparents had long awaited to carry on the Quirks’ legacy."Sierra, Quirk Enterprise was built up by Grandpa and Grandma and handed down to Dad... It's the effort of two generations, and we haven't contributed anything

Paige nodded. "Okay."Chris looked at the obedient Paige and chuckled. She was really a sweet and naive girl."Why are you laughing?" Paige asked.What was so funny?"I laugh because you're a sweet and naive girl," Chris said with delight.Paige pouted. "But don't you like sweet naive?"In fact, being called sweet and naive nowadays was not a compliment. Most of the time, it was an insult."Yeah." Chris nodded with a faint smile. "I like sweet and naive."Paige blushed again and looked at Chris with twinkling eyes.Chris remained silent, smiling faintly at Paige. He kept staring until Paige could not maintain eye contact.He smirked as he looked at the blushing and shy Paige. He knew she wanted to ask him that question, but... she was a bit timid, a bit shy, and could not bring herself to say it."What are you avoiding?" Chris asked with a smile.Paige blushed even more, stammering, "I-I'm not avoiding anything."Seeing Chris approaching her, Paige's face got even redder,

Take Tina, for instance. Ever since giving birth to Mia, she had been under constant pressure from the folks at Liam’s side of the family to produce a son. Now that she was finally pregnant again, everyone hoped for a boy. However, if she happened to have another girl...Girls get married and move into their husbands' homes, facing the challenge of dealing with difficult mothers-in-law. Those were just stories of other women's experiences that he observed but did not feel much for. However, if those scenarios played out in his own daughter's life, he could not stand it.Paige stayed silent, contemplating the hardships girls endure compared to boys. "But what if I have a daughter?" She wondered aloud. After all, the gender of the child was not something she could control.Chris looked at Paige, his eyes determined. "Even though girls might face tougher challenges, my daughter, Chris’s daughter, won't suffer. I'll make sure she becomes the happiest princess in the world."Paige c
