Sophia had been thinking about this for a long time. Her son had always been so laid-back, working at a company that wasn’t particularly large. How much could he possibly earn each year? If Sophia and Christen hadn’t saved enough, they wouldn’t even have money for his wedding or to buy him a car. Now, the Yoruna family was doing well. It was only right for them to help his sister. Hamilton Group had become a massive corporation. Everyone in Reddof gave a thumbs-up when they heard the name Hamilton Group. Their salaries and benefits were incredible, and their reputation was even more impressive. If someone managed to get their child into Hamilton Group, their family would throw a big party and set off fireworks in celebration. "That's right," Christen said with a laugh. "Considering our son's capabilities, I think it wouldn't be a problem for him to work there as a Vice President. His annual salary would be at least a million dollars, right?" "How could it be that low?" Sophia

Christen thought to herself, *We could buy the one next door. It looks pretty good too.* "A gigantic television! That must be at least a hundred inches in diameter, right?!" Sophia acted as if she had never seen anything modern in her entire life. She made a big fuss over the TV, called the automatic AC incredible, and was overly excited about the elevator and the crystal lights. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she wished this was her home! "This chandelier isn't bad. We should buy one just like this—the exact same one!" Yoruna ignored her and helped her father sit down. She poured water for everyone while a servant came in to serve fruit and drinks. "Where's Jaden?" Yoruna asked. She had assumed Jaden's family would arrive with them. "They took the bus, so they should get here around lunchtime." Sophia added, "By the way, they're only coming for the free meal." She scoffed and started complaining about how they shouldn't have come. By the time Jaden and his

"Do you have to speak so loudly?" Mr. Malemoo covered his ears. "You all sound like you're arguing." "Father, forgive me. I got angry and lost control," William nodded. He glanced at Dixon, signaling him not to take offense. Dixon nodded in understanding. Someone like Christen wasn’t worth getting angry over. "William, you’re truly different from before," Sophia suddenly said. Her eyes sparkled as she took in William’s appearance—he was now dressed in a branded suit. "You really look like the chairman of a big company!" Sophia smiled, looking at him expectantly. "So, I assume you have the final say in Hamilton Group, right?" William wasn’t too fond of Sophia. He simply nodded, unwilling to say much to her. "So, are you in charge of the hiring process at Hamilton Group?" Sophia grew even more excited. "I oversee the hiring of management roles, and our HR handles the rest," William replied. William greeted Jaden and his wife, but Sophia continued bombarding him with qu

"Don't try to use emotional blackmail on me. Do you think I've forgotten how you used to treat me, Sophia?" Yoruna gritted her teeth, her voice trembling. Yoruna no longer wanted to listen to what her father had to say, and she didn’t want to surrender just to preserve a relationship that didn’t even exist. Right now, she only wanted to protect her small family. "You..." Sophia had never imagined that the once weak-willed little sister would dare to defy her now. "Father, look at her..." Sophia whined, turning to their father. "Don't drag Father into this—it’s useless," Yoruna said firmly. "I respect Father and listen to him because I am his daughter. But now, I am also William’s wife and Diana’s mother. So from now on, I only want to protect my family!" Yoruna’s eyes turned red. She had never thought she would one day have to say this so clearly. Sophia had never truly treated her as a younger sister. If she had, why had she always made Yoruna feel so miserable and

Meanwhile, Inside the Hamilton family's home, The atmosphere was warm and harmonious. William took a rare day off, so he drank alcohol and chatted with Jaden until both their faces and ears turned red. William talked about the past and kept thanking Jaden while pouring him more wine. He spoke about how he once wanted to end his life but didn't have the courage because he feared Yoruna and Diana would be heartbroken. At that time, Jaden's family was also struggling, yet they still sent money twice and conveyed their warm greetings and concern. William had hidden in his room and cried back then. "Yoruna is my sister!" Jaden, slightly drunk, but still steady in his voice, declared. "I don't want to see her suffer because that would make me sad too!" "Now that she's okay, and all of you are okay, I don't have to worry anymore! I don’t have to worry!" Jaden continued. The two men sat at the table, clinking their glasses over and over again. They were the only ones left at
