The Flemming relatives wanted Flemming Group even more than outsiders did.If Everly, the family’s only heir, never got married and never had children, then once she grew old, would the entire Flemming Group not eventually fall into the hands of those relatives?Everly had once considered going abroad for IVF treatment and having children with a sperm donor. As long as she had heirs to take over the company in the future, that would be enough. However, Kaden and Maddie could not accept that idea. They insisted that she marry and have children the traditional way. Her grandfather always told her that there still existed good men, who would love her for who she was, not because of Flemming Group. Everly knew those men existed, but they were far too rare.She had seen the ugliness of human nature since she was very young.The car Kaden and Everly were riding in was only a temporary rental.They had two bodyguards accompanying them.However, after meeting Sonny, the bodyguards st

“Yeah. I’ve arranged for them to be in another presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. They’re still at my company right now. I’ll take them out for dinner later.”The Flemmings duo had spent the entire afternoon at Lewis & Co. Since it was close to dinnertime, Sonny, as the host, naturally had to treat them to a meal.After all, he was the one who had enthusiastically convinced them to stay in Wiltspoon for a few extra days.So, for the next two days, he intended to accompany and entertain them.“What plans do you have tonight?” Serenity asked.“That depends on them. They probably don’t have any plans. At most, I’ll take Ms. Flemming shopping and show her the night scenery around Wiltspoon.”Serenity laughed and offered, “Why don’t you all come to the manor for dinner tonight instead?”“It’s too rushed to arrange something at the last minute. Maybe tomorrow instead. Are you free tonight, Aunt Seren?”“Of course. I can always make time now. Do you want me to help ente

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

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

Everly 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
