Everly opened the jewelry box and put on the entire set.Once she was ready, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Despite dressing up, she did not find herself particularly beautiful. She still felt more comfortable in her usual androgynous clothes.Sometimes, she even felt that she lacked femininity.Perhaps there was some truth to what those men claimed when she turned them down.She got to her feet, left the lounge, and walked over to Sonny. "Mr. Brown, I don't look embarrassing, do I? My grandfather picked out this gown for me, but I just don't feel comfortable wearing it."Sonny gave a once-over and complimented her. "Not at all. Seeing you in a dress is quite a pleasant surprise. This look is completely beyond what I imagined.""I rarely wear formal dresses. I'm just used to wearing suits.""Wear them a few more times, and you'll get used to it. You look great. I'm not merely flattering you either. You really are beautiful tonight. I guarantee you'll be

Everly was envious. "I wish I had a younger sibling too. Being an only child comes with a lot of pressure.""That's understandable, but it is what it is. It can't be changed, so all we can do is face it head-on."After a pause, Everly nodded. "That's true."That was why she had not objected when her grandfather told her that she should have two children in the future.She knew how exhausting it was to carry an entire family on her shoulders, and how much pressure it came with.The company she was in charge of was not just for herself or the Flemming family. There were tens of thousands of employees at Flemming Group, along with all the families who depended on those employees.If Flemming Group could not stay afloat, countless employees would lose their jobs, and their families would be thrown into financial hardship. With the current economic climate, finding another job would be extremely difficult.For many people who lost their jobs and eventually found new ones, their new s

There was also a jewelry set.Everly rarely wore accessories. Usually dressed androgynously, she never cared much for jewelry. She would wear earrings at most, but most of the time, she kept things very simple.It was not because she did not own jewelry. In fact, she had plenty. Her grandfather had given her all the precious jewelry passed down through the family. Even her mother did not own as many pieces as she did.Sometimes, her mother would even borrow a couple of sets from her for special occasions.Kaden doted on her. Every year on her birthday without fail, he would give her a piece of jewelry. She owned enough jewelry to rival a jewelry store, and every piece was exquisite. The antique family heirlooms handed down through generations were priceless.Her cousins had always been envious. When Everly was little, they tried to sweet-talk her into giving them several sets, but she refused them every time. They belonged to her, so she would not give them away.Maddie had also

Everly laughed. "In all my life, this is the first time someone has called me beautiful. People would tell me I was cute when I was little, but I always felt they were just saying it to make me feel better."I'll just look like your wallflower standing next to you."She felt that Sonny was better-looking than she was.If Sonny had slightly softer features, people could easily mistake him for a beautiful woman. On the other hand, Everly was the type who could easily be mistaken for a man."Being too handsome as a man isn't necessarily a good thing. It comes with plenty of trouble. Ms. Flemming, I see your secretary. We'll talk when we meet.""Sure."Everly hung up the phone.A few minutes later, Sonny knocked on the door and walked in carrying two bags. One contained Everly's gown, and the other contained a jewelry set to match.Sarah poured Sonny a glass of water and left the office.Sonny placed the two bags on Everly's desk, saying, "Old Mr. Flemming asked me to bring these

"Everly is an excellent catch. Maybe Mr. Brown happens to fancy women like her. What I'm worried about is that he may not be willing to be a househusband. Everly definitely won't move out. She needs a partner willing to settle on her family's estate.""Exactly. What outstanding man would willingly marry into a woman's family? How many men have felt miserable being a househusband?""Isn't that the same for women marrying into their husbands' families? Don't women feel miserable with their in-laws too? Stop being hypocritical, Steven. Just listen to Maddie."Think it over yourself. I'm going out."With that, Tessa got up and went upstairs. She changed her clothes, put on a little makeup, picked up her handbag, and left the house.Her husband was left at home to stew in his own anger.Everly had no idea what transpired at her uncle's house. She returned to the office and continued to work until Sonny called her in the evening.She answered the call."Ms. Flemming, I'm outside your

Tessa understood Everly’s personality and nodded in understanding. “We know, Maddie. We’re not angry, and we certainly don’t blame you for anything. Go home and take good care of Old Mr. Flemming.“If Old Mr. Flemming is handling Everly’s marriage, then we can rest easy too. He has good judgment. Still, we should look into Mr. Brown.“Just because the York family is good doesn’t mean he’s good as well. Some people act one way in public, and another behind closed doors. We won’t bother anyone. We’ll just quietly look into him ourselves.”Maddie said, “My father-in-law will handle that. Everly means the world to him. He’ll never be careless when it comes to something as important as her future. He’s lived far longer than us and has much more experience. If he thinks highly of someone, I believe that man really is exceptional.”“That’s true. Then we won’t worry about it anymore. Drive carefully. We asked you to stay for dinner, but you insist on going home.”“My father-in-law isn’t f

I think that too. She and the other girl are cousins. Once Serenity sees Elisa mom she will recognize her because it is her mom’s sister. That is a o brainer on this story.
Zachary you are in for a new drama with Elisa and Senerity
I think serenity’s mom is the long lost sister of elisa’s mom!
I reckon Serenity’s mum is the long lost sister of Elisa’s mum, Audrey..oh my what will happen if that would be the case., interesting
well I was reading another good book and had to delete the app. too much money
Yes I am thinking the same… how twisted that would be… serenity and Elisa being cousins fighting for the same man!
I think I’m going to delete this app after use this last 1200
Really good
That’s what I’m thinking too.
wow I don't believe they want us to keep paying to read this story. I guest I will never find what happen in the end because Im deleting the app.
May be Serenity looks like her mother and Audrey finds out her mom is her sister?
Are they really expecting us to pay $250 USD to complete the book!
Sorry have to stop reading. It’s ridiculous if I have to keep paying to read. Ending chapter 136......
Man how crazy to be married to the man your cousin is in love with. I’m going to have to get to a good stopping point because this story goes on for years.
I hope Serenity get to meet her aunt the soonest...
