That was a given as the Queen couple were looking for a son-in-law instead of a daughter-in-law. Naturally, they would not give those elite daughters hope and made them give up on trying to win them over. Kevin took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as he walked out, he saw Hayden escorting a client to the elevator with a few young women behind them. Based on their clothing, they were probably the client’s secretaries. Neither the client nor Kevin knew each other. Kevin stood aside to avoid getting in Hayden’s way. She saw the client off downstairs personally. Hayden’s secretary glanced at Kevin, who hinted at her with his eyes to follow Hayden and ignore him. He was fine on his own. He could not be more familiar with Hayden’s office and lounge. After the group entered the elevator, he went into her office. He first made himself a cup of coffee. Just as he sat on the sofa, Hayden returned. “So what happened after last night’s incident?” Hayden asked as she wa

“She’s doing great. She’s handling some things now. Don’t underestimate her. She’s been through many ups and downs. Her parents passed away when she was fifteen. Despite having vicious and greedy relatives, she raised and educated her ten-year-old sister well. “Those who have gone through hard times are especially strong-willed.”Kevin finally understood why Audrey had chosen Liberty to compete against Caroline in Jensburg. “It’s a relief that she isn’t too shocked.”Kevin smiled. “Are you getting off work now? Oh, by the way, I brought you a present.”He retrieved a box from his suit pocket and gave it to Hayden. Hayden accepted it, but she did not open the box. Instead, she went to her office table and placed it into the drawer.“Aren’t you going to take a look?”“No. Anything you give is the best. I’ll look at it when I’m free and savor your love for me.”Kevin stared at Hayden. She seemed gentler, and reciprocated his feelings openly. He had succeeded in advancing a s

Hunter glanced at his wife in despair and closed his eyes. He was in immense pain. Belinda was not angry at Hunter for not looking at her. She walked to the windows again and stared outside. Her mind wandered off. If Patrick had been willing to be with her, help her, and marry her back then, her life would have been complete and filled with happiness. Unfortunately, he was only loyal to Tiara. Even if Tiara had gotten married to someone else, had children, and eventually passed away, Patrick would refuse to follow her and choose to disappear instead. Decades had passed, and Belinda was already seventy years old. Patrick was probably dead by now. Why was she still worried?At that moment, Belinda’s phone rang. It was Caroline. Belinda answered the call after a silent pause. “Mom.”Caroline said, “Are you okay, Mom?”She asked about her mother first instead of Hunter’s injury. Belinda said calmly, “It can’t get any worse. What’s there to not be okay about? You all

Caroline turned her gaze away from Hunter and followed Belinda to a small lounge. She placed the lunch box on the table and opened it. She told her mother, “I even brought you some fruits.”Belinda sat and stared at the sandwiches and cut fruits Caroline had brought. After some time, she said, “You’re the only one who’ll actually prepare sandwiches for me.”Her sons and Celine would not have followed her request because they opined that those foods were not worthy of her. “Have the sandwiches while they’re fresh, Mom.”Back when Caroline was still with her abusive adoptive family, she could not even have sandwiches. A sandwich was a luxury for when she was young. Having experienced a tough childhood, Caroline never wasted money once she was an adult and earning money herself. She maintained a low profile and spent money wisely. Her personality, which was shaped by her environment, did not change with her increasing savings. Belinda ate the sandwiches while recalling a scen

Caroline said, “I don’t have one, Mom. I was just asking. But will she be recognized by the family? “She’ll be acknowledged as long as she’s your blood. The Fishers will be with you throughout your pregnancy and birth. Once the child is born, they’ll accept her.”Caroline replied, “If so, why do I have to get married? If I don’t wed, then I won’t have to worry about scumbags getting a share of the family’s assets.”Belinda was speechless. She must be out of her mind. Why was she suddenly talking to Caroline about this?Maybe her husband’s betrayal had ruined her mood and she could not resist nagging her daughter about marriage. Caroline continued, “There might still be flaws even if everything is planned out well. The best solution is to give birth to a daughter without marrying the man. Without getting a marriage license and becoming husband and wife legally, the man won’t be able to take any assets. There won’t even be any shared assets between us from the start.”Belinda s

Belinda raised her head to look at Caroline, and her expression relaxed. She said, “I know you’re good at hiding your true abilities. You have a hint of ruthlessness like me, but you’re still too kind. You have to know that there’s nothing fair in this world. It’s every man for themselves.”Caroline was silent. “You should go back.”Belinda knew Caroline was much stronger than Celine, yet she would not listen to her every time. Caroline had a mind of her own. Belinda feared that everything she had painstakingly gained would return to the hands of Tiara’s lineage. If so, her efforts would have been for naught. Decades of hard work would go to someone else just like that. Even if she were dead, she would be so angry that she would tear her coffin open.Caroline told her mother to take care of her health before leaving the ward. Belinda only withdrew her gaze after Caroline left. Then, she returned to sit by the bed and said, “Carol went back.”Hunter replied, “Okay.”However

“Mom…”“Don’t call me that. I’m not your mom. If I hear you calling me that again, I’ll cut your tongue off too. Your mom is still waiting for you in the countryside.”After speaking, Belinda shut the door again. Tears flowed down Celine’s face, yet she dared not cry out loud anymore. She was the perfect example of someone fallen from grace.Hunter heard Celine’s cries from the bed. Although he felt sorry for her, he stayed quiet. When he heard footsteps approaching, he closed his eyes. He did not look at Belinda as he was scared that she would see the sympathy in his eyes.He knew that he and Celine were done for. Although he was not chased out, his life in the Fisher household would be a living hell. However, he had to tolerate it for the sake of the Clark family. If Hunter wanted his days to get better, his sons had to inherit the head of the family position. Caroline becoming the matriarch would not benefit him at all. He swore to himself that he would help his

“Thanks, but I’m fine,” Duncan said politely. He had stayed in Fortress Hotel before this, albeit seldom. None of the employees remembered him, the young master of the Lewises. Well, even if Zachary was here, they probably could not even recognize the CEO of York Corporation as well. The person in charge of all hotels owned by York Corporation was Kevin. Most employees were familiar with him. Kevin bumped into Duncan while seeing Hayden off as Duncan entered the hotel. “Duncan.”Kevin was somewhat surprised to see him. He had heard from Liberty that Duncan would be coming over. However, Duncan’s arrival was supposed to be around two in the afternoon. Kevin thought he had yet to arrive as Liberty had just returned and had not gone to fetch him from the airport. That was why he was surprised to see Duncan being wheeled into the hotel by his bodyguard. Kevin smiled and went to Duncan, asking, “Here by yourself?”“Yeah. The plane was left in the airport. I rented a car

Elisa giggled. “I’m not really jealous. I was just joking with you, Mom. You started it first by joking with me.“I also know that you’re good to Remy for my sake, hoping that my future in-laws will see how well we treat him and, in turn, treat me well too.“But Mom, even if I have to move to Annenburg with Remy in the future, you don’t need to worry about me being bullied. He can protect me, and I can protect myself too. Have you forgotten who I am?“I’m the little hothead. I’m the one who bullies others, not the other way around.”Audrey removed her daughter’s hand and lightly pinched her cheek. “I’m not worried at all about you being bullied by your in-laws. My future in-laws are wonderful people. Their family values are upright, and their household is harmonious. You hit the jackpot by finding a man like Remy.”Elisa said proudly, “That’s because I have a discerning eye. Any man I choose, and his family, must be excellent.”“Yes, yes, you have the best eye.” Audrey laughed an

When Alice saw her sister-in-law return, she quickly asked, “Elisa, have you eaten yet? If not, I can make something for you.”Audrey stopped her daughter-in-law and said, “Don’t worry about her. She’s got Remy in the kitchen cooking something delicious for her. With Remy around, she’s not going to starve.”Hearing this, Alice smiled and sat back down. Elisa protested, “Mom, how can you say that? Remy’s cooking for me of his own volition. You always say I’m exploiting him. You’re getting more and more biased.“You feel sorry for Remy but not me. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have found such a good son-in-law like Remy. So, you should still love me the most, just like before.”Audrey chuckled. “If it weren’t for you saying you wanted to eat his cooking, would he be in the kitchen right now? I called you two over for dinner, but you didn’t want to come.“Remy has been working all day. He must be tired, but when he comes home, he still has to serve you like a princess.”“Mom

“I’m not picky with food. Whatever you like, I’ll enjoy it too, so I’ll base the dishes on your preferences.”No matter what, he always put her first.Elisa said contentedly, “I’ll go back home and check on things. I heard my nephew crying earlier. Once the food is ready, just call me over from the fence.”Remy replied dotingly, “Alright, go ahead and check on him. You can bring the baby over to play for a while too.”After being taken out for a stroll, the little one had grown quite fond of going outside. If he cried after being fed, hydrated, and well-rested, it was clear that he just wanted to go out and see the world.As Elisa walked out, she said, “We’ll be eating soon. If we bring him over and he starts crying to go out, it’ll ruin our meal. It’s better to leave him at home for Grandpa True to look after.“Nowadays, he’s the apple of Grandpa True’s eye. Grandpa True even said that to see more of the younger generations, he’ll strive to live a few more years.”Patrick’s wil

However, Remy felt that his niece, Chloe, seemed even more outstanding than her brother. Perhaps in the future, it would be Chloe who would take charge of the family.“I miss Clo-clo so much. I don’t know why, but lately, whenever I see little babies, I feel especially fond of them. Maybe it’s because as I get older, I’m becoming more maternal.”“You’re not old at all. I’m older than you, so don’t talk about being old in front of me.”Remy did not like hearing her say she was getting old. If she was old, then he was even older. Remy felt that he was still in his prime, especially since he had not even married Elisa yet.“I’m older than Seren, and her baby is due in two months.“Oh, by the way, earlier, besides complaining that I was making you cook and worrying that I was tiring you out, my mom also suggested that we start preparing for pregnancy. She said that by the time we hold the wedding in the fall, it could be a double celebration.”Remy turned to look at her, his eyes bur

“Just like how Grandma May taught Zachary and the others, being able to cook isn’t just about earning points when looking for a wife—it’s also about rewarding your own stomach.” His own grandmother had not said anything like that. All she said was that flowers did not stay in bloom forever. Although the Johnsons were currently at their peak and were wealthy beyond measure, the world was unpredictable. Who knew in which generation the family might decline?Having more skills never hurt. Learning an extra skill meant that if the family ever fell on hard times, they would at least have the ability to support themselves.That was why their family elders encouraged them to develop a wide range of skills. They did not need to master everything, but they should at least have a basic understanding of many things. In truth, his cooking skills used to be quite average.It was only after he developed feelings for Elisa and learned that she had once had a crush on Zachary, who was skille

Audrey heard the cry of her precious grandson and immediately forgot about her daughter. She called out loudly, “You two enjoy your time together then. My grandson is crying, so I’m heading back inside.“You and Remy can start preparing for pregnancy too. When it’s time for the wedding, it’ll be a double celebration.”Hearing someone else’s daughter had given birth, Audrey was eager for her daughter to do so too. Though she was already a grandmother, she wanted to be a grandmother to her daughter’s child too. That was simply how elderly people with both sons and daughters were.Elisa was speechless. She heard the hurried footsteps of her mother heading back into the house, calling out before even entering, “Darling, don’t cry. Grandma’s back.”Elisa muttered, “Now that she has a grandson, even I, this precious daughter of hers, have been pushed aside. When I give her a grandson, I doubt there’ll be any room left for me.”She and Remy would definitely have children, but they were n

“Remy, Remy!” a voice called from outside. It sounded like Audrey. Remy came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron.“You keep at it, I’ll go out. My mom must have seen the lights and knew you were back, so she’s calling you over for dinner at our house.”At this time, her family was probably halfway through their meal.Elisa put down the remote control and walked out of the house with a packet of snacks in hand, munching as she went.“Mom.” Elisa walked to the fence and responded to her mother.“Elisa? You’re back too? You came back and didn’t even come home for dinner? We’re eating right now. Hurry up and bring Remy over. Grandpa True was just saying that Remy hasn’t come over for dinner in a few days.”Remy had been busy entertaining clients lately, so he had not had time to join his in-laws for meals.Elisa replied, “Mom, I feel like eating Remy’s cooking tonight, so we won’t be coming over. You guys go ahead.”“Oh, you. It’s so late already, and you’re still making Remy c

Elisa said, “Although cousins can be as close as siblings, it’s still better to have another child. After all, we won’t be living at your family home permanently, and our children might not have much time to bond with their cousins in the future.“I have two older brothers, and the three of us have always been close. My brothers have always doted on me, and I can always talk about things with them. My sister-in-law has been very kind to me even after they got married too.“I’m used to having siblings around. It’s lively, and no matter what happens, we can always talk things through. It’s nice not having to face everything alone. I don’t want my children to feel lonely in the future.”Elisa continued, “Most importantly, I love children. If you could be the one to carry and give birth, sparing me the exhaustion of pregnancy, I’d even consider having three kids. But unfortunately, you can’t.“If I have to carry the baby myself, even though I love children, I’d only have two—preferably

Jasmine smiled. “I can’t tell. He’s so tiny. I’m scared when I have to carry him. I’m afraid of hurting him. What if he slips from my arms?”As a first-time mother, Jasmine was inexperienced. She was not like Serenity, who had raised a baby before. Josh and Zachary had secretly taken classes on how to look after a baby. The way Josh held the baby was more accurate than hers. “You’ll get better at it after learning slowly. I didn’t dare to carry my nephew either because I was scared of hurting him, but I’m an expert now.”Elisa could not resist touching the baby’s face again. She really liked babies.“Has the baby been fed?”Camila replied, “He was fed an hour ago.”The baby had been ravenous. Everyone was relieved when they saw the baby could feed normally. The doctor said the baby might experience jaundice a few days later and that premature babies should be monitored closely. Jaundice usually appeared when the baby was a few days old. It would reach its peak after
