Margaret Easton and Michael Easton returned in less than three hours, bringing only some clothes back with them since the villa was already well-equipped. Margaret decisively planned to sell their old house online for cash, seemingly ready to spend her lifetime in this new home, conveniently forgetting everything she had previously said about Isaiah Lowell."The place looks so empty; I'll decorate it properly tomorrow," Margaret announced. Neither Isaiah nor Daphne paid much attention to her words, unaware that a nightmare was about to begin.The next day, while Isaiah drove Daphne to work, Margaret visited the flower market. She brought back loads of cheap plants and decorations, cluttering the living room with items that made the once simple decor look like a crowded yard, all emitting a strong scent of cheapness. The luxurious villa, now judged solely by its living room, seemed to have plummeted in value.Margaret, however, was quite pleased with herself, believing

For Daphne Easton to receive unanimous support at the Easton Family's internal meeting was nothing short of miraculous.After the meeting, a disgruntled Thomas Easton returned to his office, aware that if Daphne succeeded, his position in the company would plummet. He would be trampled underfoot by Daphne, potentially jeopardizing his future as chairman."No, I must find a way out of this predicament," Thomas gritted his teeth.Christopher Easton, equally discontent, visited Thomas's office."Daphne has now moved into the villa on the hillside and is even controlling the company's power. It's infuriating," Christopher fumed."Dad, help me think of something. I must regain control; otherwise, we'll have to grovel before Daphne," Thomas pleaded.Christopher sighed, wishing there was something he could do.But with the matriarch having made her decision, no one could overturn it."Thomas, I'm not here to help you find a way out but to remind you

The wealthy woman, while speaking, struck the middle-aged woman on the head with her purse.Amidst the bystanders' murmurs, the middle-aged woman kept denying the accusations, "I didn't, I really didn't take anything. She's framing me.""Framing you? Why would I frame someone as lowly as you? Do you think I need to extort money from you?" the wealthy woman retorted, slapping the middle-aged woman across the face and kicking her with her high heels."Look at me. Do I look like someone who's short a few thousand bucks? I just don't want scum like you to scam others," she claimed.Her attire indeed suggested she wasn't lacking in funds, leading the onlookers to doubt the middle-aged woman instead, whose situation worsened under their scrutiny.As the wealthy woman basked in the crowd's support, she scorned the middle-aged woman, "Let everyone see your true colors today. You won't be able to work in Cresthaven City anymore."Appearances can be deceptive, an

After bringing Olivia Dean home, Isaiah Lowell was about to arrange a room for her when Margaret Easton came down from upstairs. "Isaiah Lowell, what are you doing, and who is this?" Margaret asked with an interrogative tone."Olivia is someone I've hired to help with cooking and cleaning around the house," Isaiah explained.Hiring a maid? Margaret stormed up to Isaiah, saying coldly, "You've really grown wings, huh? Making decisions about the house without even telling me. If you don't want to cook for us, I can do it myself.""Alright then," Isaiah responded indifferently, turning to Olivia, "Since someone else will be cooking, you'll just need to take care of the cleaning."Margaret was seething with anger. How could she possibly cook? Ever since Isaiah came to the Easton household, she had stayed away from the kitchen, accustomed to being served. She didn't expect Isaiah to take her seriously."You think you're qualified to eat my cooking?" Margaret glar

Isaiah Lowell's words instantly quelled Margaret Easton's tantrum. Michael Easton looked at Isaiah with a face full of fear, realizing that Isaiah was far from the pushover he seemed to be, exuding an overwhelming presence that made it hard to breathe."Daphne, aren't you going to say something for me? Do you want to see me kicked out by him?" Margaret, not daring to lash out at Isaiah, pressured Daphne Easton instead.Daphne shook her head. This time, what Margaret did was too much for even her own daughter to stand by."Mom, if you were wrong, you should apologize," Daphne said.Margaret had bragged to all her friends about moving into the villa on the hillside, promising to show them around. Being kicked out by Isaiah would be a massive loss of face, something Margaret, who always cared about appearances, could not accept."Isaiah, I'm also your mother. How can you ask me to apologize to a maid?" Margaret's tone was a mix of plea and gentleness."If
