As Arena’s close girlfriend back in the day, Ivy still remembered the exact date of Arena’s birthday. She immediately entered Arena’s birthday into the phone’s password input field—and to her astonishment, the phone unlocked!Ivy’s heart was a jumble of anger, hatred, and excitement.The anger and hatred, of course, were directed at Gilmore—this old man never changed. After all these years, he still had that damned Arena on his mind!The excitement came from guessing the password correctly—didn’t this mean she could transfer the money away?Fine, so Gilmore was still hung up on his first love?Then she’d transfer all his money to herself and kick him out of the house!Anyway, his old flame was abroad, and he didn’t have the means to go find her. Besides, she’d heard Arena was living a good life now—she probably wouldn’t even give him a second glance!You old dog, just wait to be penniless and living on the streets!While grinding her teeth in hatred for Gilmore, Ivy immediately opened

Right after breakfast, the delivery truck arrived. The workers loaded the Mill family’s Huanghuali wood furniture onto the truck, then set off for the furniture mall together with the Mill family members.On the west side of Plath City, there stood an enormous furniture mall—nearly all the furniture sellers in Plath City were concentrated here.It had furniture of high, medium, and low grades, making it undoubtedly the best place to shop for furniture.Gilmore himself had long been influenced by his father and had a particular fondness for antique items. He not only enjoyed hunting for antique curios and collectibles, but also had a liking for old furniture—especially pieces made from fine-quality wood.He had always admired that set of Huanghuali wood furniture in the Mill family’s villa. Unfortunately, that piece could never be his, so he could only dream about it.Precisely because of his love for old wooden furniture, Gilmore headed straight for the wooden furniture hall as soon a

Mrs. Mill was already seething with anger, and when she heard the offer was only $250,000, she immediately snapped, You only offer $250,000 for such fine furniture? You’re way too greedy!The boss said helplessly, This is a fair price. If you don’t believe me, you can go check around.Mrs. Mill let out a cold snort and said to her family, Let’s go! We’ll try another store! I refuse to believe this is the best we can get!At this moment, Gilmore quickly spoke up, Mom, how about I give you $300,000? Sell it to me. To be honest, I have a lot of affection for Dad’s furniture set.You wish! Mrs. Mill ground her teeth and said, I’d rather chop it up for firewood than sell it to you!After saying that, she waved to Jared and said, Hurry up and go!Jared glared at Gilmore, then hurried to follow Mrs. Mill as she turned to leave.Gilmore watched their backs, shaking his head repeatedly. He sighed and said, I never thought the Mill family would be reduced to selling their family heirlooms. That

When Mrs. Mill saw that Gilmore wasn’t falling for her trick, her face immediately darkened. She asked coldly, What? Are you really determined to cut off all ties with your mother once and for all?Gilmore quickly replied, Mom, it wasn’t me who said we should cut ties—it was you. But in my eyes, you’ll always be my mother.Do you even have me as your mother in your eyes? Mrs. Mill said angrily. You have such a big villa, yet you won’t even reserve a single room for me. You’d rather watch me starve to death or freeze to death outside than support me! Where is your conscience?Before Gilmore could say anything, Ivy beside him blurted out, Quit with this useless drama. Either you sell the sofa, or you don’t—why are you clinging to us now? Let me tell you, it was you who cut off relations with us and kicked us out back then. Now you regret it, but we don’t. After leaving the Mill family, we’ve never been happier. Even if you beg us to reconcile now, we’ll never agree.Gilmore nodded repea

He also knew his daughter was right. Emotionally and rationally, since he hadn’t divorced Ivy, changing his phone password to his first love’s birthday was indeed inappropriate.So he said shamefully, Mia, you’re right about this. I did wrong, and I apologize to you.Mia replied, You should apologize to Mom, not me.Gilmore had no choice but to force himself to speak to Ivy, It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have changed the password to Arena’s birthday, and I shouldn’t have laid hands on you. I admit my mistake.Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Ivy immediately said, Right now, change your phone password to my birthday. Then change your online banking login password and payment password to my birthday too!Gilmore reprimanded, In the end, you just want to take control of the money, don’t you? What’s the point of putting on such a big show?Ivy resorted to sophistry, I don’t want to control the money. I just want you to give me the respect I deserve!Gilmore nodded and said, Fine! You
