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

Oh Zachary fuming ...
Get on with it already. Bloody hell
This book costs too much to read and I have lost track of how much!! So I will probably never know how it ends!
I read too fast I can’t afford this book. I’ve brought more than 100 books trying to finish this one. Love it but can’t afford it
this chapter is blank, I'm so disappointed
Pretty good...
Haha of course he’s acting jealous!
I agree with Rachel. Between the cost of reading it, the physical and mental abuse going on, the unrealistic life. I woul have liked to see how it ended, but I went and bought a book for 20.00. I'll read that instead.
I think this is the biggest ripoff I have ever been involved in. The book is poorly written. I just wanted to know It ended. This book would cost me around a hundred dollars to read with all the shortened chapters. I just realized how many chapters you have broken into. NO THANKS! I don’t need to
