“You take care, too. Don’t overexert yourself.”“Don’t worry, honey, I’m very careful about my health. I’m going to take a nap now, even twenty minutes helps.”“Alright. Go get some rest, then. I’ll go take a walk to calm myself down.”Kelly had really pissed Adina off.The couple ended their call.Meanwhile, River, the catalyst for Adina and her cousin falling out, was on his way to the airport with Rosalie to pick up his parents.After three o’clock, River tried to call his mother from time to time.When he finally got through, Rosella said to him, “River, we just landed. Are you already at the airport? Just wait for us at the entrance.”“Okay, Mom. Rosalie and I will be waiting at the entrance. Do you have a lot of luggage with you?”“Each of us brought two pieces. You came with Rosalie? Why did you disturb her and take up her precious time when she’s so busy? We could have just gotten a taxi to yours.”Rosella felt bad for her future daughter-in-law, thinking that her son

River had said that repaying one’s debt of gratitude excessively would do more harm than good. Levi felt Adina still cared about her relatives and could not bear to cut ties with them. Therefore, River suggested that they pretend that Crest Co. was in trouble and needed money. That way, they could take back the money Adina’s relatives had borrowed from them all those years. They could also determine who was willing to return the money.It was a good opportunity for Adina to see her relatives’ true colors and give up on those freeloaders.Levi consoled his wife and told her about River’s idea.After a short moment of silence, Adina said, “Let’s do it after some time. They won’t believe us if we tell them now.“Is River and Rosalie’s marriage confirmed?” Adina asked. “Not yet, but it’ll be soon. His parents will be arriving in Solville this evening. He won’t be going back to the office because he has to pick up his parents, aunts, and uncles from the airport. The Yorks and Lafa

“I don’t owe you anything.”Kelly’s father was the one who lent Adina the money, not Kelly. Over the past few years, Adina had also helped out her relatives a lot and given them quite a bit of money.Sadly, her actions of repaying her gratitude only made them greedier.“I was just venting my anger a little, Adina. I’m not actually blaming you for not helping me.”Kelly immediately toned down her arrogance once she heard Adina would not help her in the future.“I went overboard earlier, Adina. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. Although we aren’t biological sisters, we still share the same grandparents. We’re still closely related.“Blood is thicker than water. You can’t leave me to fend for myself.”Kelly sat beside Adina and hugged her arm. Adina withdrew her arm from Kelly’s grasp. She said coldly, “You’re not young anymore, Kelly. You’re not working and have been mooching off your parents for a long time. Your parents are old. The meager money they earn

They felt Levi was being too generous when he gave half of Crest Co.’s shares to River. While River was capable, he was merely an employee. The shares were better off distributed among the relatives. They were considered family anyway.River was just an outsider. Even if he were not given any shares, would he dare slack off when he was receiving a high salary?If he were lazy, Levi could simply fire him. Crest Co. had already stabilized and could continue operating in River’s absence. However, Levi and Adina trusted River too much. They treated him better than they did their relatives. Thinking back, Levi had borrowed a few thousand dollars from a few relatives each. He even borrowed ten thousand dollars from some of them. However, when Crest Co. finally became successful, Levi gifted the fifty-percent shares to River, who was an employee. As a result, River’s net worth rose drastically. “River isn’t an ordinary employee. He’s a young master of the York family, the wealthiest f

“Why isn’t Levi coming back for lunch, Adina?” Kelly asked. “I thought he usually doesn’t go to the company. Why does he have to be there now? Is River not managing it anymore?”Adina’s other relatives also looked toward her. She had prepared fruit platters for everyone and placed two plates on the table for her relatives.Kelly glanced at the fruits and said disdainfully, “You’re rich, Adina. Why don’t you hire a few maids? That way, you can have more free time.“You’re still eating such plain fruits even though you have money. Why don’t you buy more expensive fruits to eat?”Having experienced tough days before, Adina indeed was not as carefree when spending money compared to other wives of wealthy families. Usually, Levi would be home, and they would look after their children together. Adina did not find it tiring. Since her children had grown up, her days were actually pretty relaxed. They also hired a part-time house cleaner.Of course, she would still clean up the hous

The Lafayettes would be united against any outsiders so long as their interests were protected. If there were a conflict of interest, there would be fights between the family members. Luckily, Alrick Lafayette was still around. Since they respected him, they would still reconcile afterward. After the call ended, Rosalie told River, “I’ve cleared my schedule for the evening. Let’s go to the airport.”“Are we taking my car or yours?” Rosalie asked. River smiled. “Both of us have to drive our cars. We also need to get one or two more cars. My parents aren’t the only ones coming. My uncles and aunts are tagging along, and they have many pieces of luggage.“That’s why we need a few cars.”Rosalie replied, “You have a well-stocked house here. Your parents and relatives could’ve just brought a few changes of clothes. Why didn’t you remind them?”River sounded innocent. “That’s not within my control. Even if I told them, they’d still bring lots of stuff over.”“You don’t have to ren
