“Laurence Young! Either you go, or I go! We can’t live in the same town!” If Laurence could hear Manny, he would have thought that had been established a long time ago. … Back in Wiltspoon, two elderly people stood right outside Lewis & Co. Leaning over the ledge of the security booth, they asked the security guards. “We wish to meet with Sonny Brown. Is that possible?“We’re Sonny’s grandparents.” They were Luke and Olivia. Sonny took the plane back to Wiltspoon after Callia went to Windermere. He had an emergency to sort out at Lewis & Co. With his schedule packed, Sonny often flew around for business. Even back in Wiltspoon, he could barely make time to meet his father’s side of the family. His stepmother, Jessica, had been released from prison. Hank remained devoted to Jessica, hoping to pick up where they left off once Jessica was out. Sonny stayed out of his father’s romantic life. Nevertheless, Sonny did not return to the Brown household as often after Jessi

Jessica paid the price and spent more than a decade in prison. Now that she was released, she was much older and in poor health. She could not bear children. Sonny was Hank’s only heir in this life. When Luke and Olivia first retired, they had the energy to help with Chelsea’s childcare. They brought up Chelsea’s three children, but what did they get in return? Even to this day, Chelsea’s family would come to their home, taking things and living off them. Hank held a lot of resentment toward Chelsea. Jessica, now that she was out, harbored the same feelings toward Chelsea. Fearing Jessica, Chelsea stopped dropping by just to mooch off Luke and Olivia. It took a villain to keep another in check. Whenever Luke and Olivia fell ill, Chelsea’s children never bothered to call, much less show any concern. Even when they were in the hospital, these kids never came for a visit. The kids only recognized their grandparents on their father’s side. Their love and care only went to them,

Chelsea had no shame during her younger days. Now that she had become a mother-in-law, her thick skin knew no boundaries. She would always go to Sonny whenever he was in the city for money and all kinds of benefits. Sonny did not want to give her the time of day. However, she would camp out outside Sonny’s building entrance. Even if security chased her away, she would stake out on Sonny’s route home. It had gotten so bad that Sonny kept his trips back to Wiltspoon a secret from Chelsea. It was not as if Sonny could just beat Chelsea up. After all, Chelsea was still his aunt. Sonny did not have the heart to break Chelsea’s legs, so he avoided her. Not everybody had access to Sonny’s whereabouts as a busy CEO anyway. Chelsea could only track him down through Luke, Olivia, and Hank. If the Browns kept their mouths shut, Chelsea would not know anything about Sonny. Olivia took the call from Chelsea. “Mom, where are you and Dad? Why aren’t you home?” Chelsea asked. “I boug

Then, Olivia turned to Luke and said, “I was at my wits’ end. Chelsea wants to play matchmaker for Sonny. We don’t even stick our noses in Sonny’s life.” Olivia and Luke knew that underneath Sonny’s gentle exterior was a cold heart. If they were to upset Sonny, they would not see him home again. Heck, Sonny would not even carry on his financial support. They were living well in their golden age, and the last thing they wanted to do was mess it up. Besides, considering their daughter’s judgment and social circle, they doubted Chelsea would know any respectable young girl. Olivia believed Chelsea’s connections were not good enough for Sonny. “Just ignore her. We should stay out of Sonny’s business and enjoy our retirement.” While the couple was talking, the meeting door opened. Sonny then stepped into the VIP lounge. His tall frame and refined looks were complemented by a black suit, making him appear gentle and handsome without losing his mature, steady demeanor.“Gra

Olivia took a bite of the snacks and remarked how delicious they were. “If you like them, I’ll pack some for you to bring back, but you can’t have them all at once. These are sweet treats. You need to watch your sugar levels.” Olivia said, “I know. I’ll have one a day.” “Don’t trust her on that. I bet she’s going to finish everything today. She has no self-control when it comes to her favorite food.” Luke told on his wife. Olivia was speechless. She felt embarrassed. “For some reason, I got a sweet tooth at my age. I love munching on snacks now.” Advancing in age, Luke and Olivia were living on borrowed time. Olivia wanted to enjoy food while she still could. “Watch her, Granddad. Don’t let her overindulge herself.” Sitting across from the old couple, Sonny asked about their well-being. “Sonny, did your mom come back with you?” Olivia asked about her former daughter-in-law. Sonny answered, “Jiggy just graduated. Mom wants her to learn about the family business, s
