“Even if you give your niece and nephew all your assets and expect them to take care of you, what if they’re unkind and force you to transfer your assets to them beforehand? Once you do so, they can get rid of you anytime.“Sometimes even biological children aren’t dependable, Rosalie, let alone nieces and nephews. Your own children are simply relatively better.“If you don’t get married, I can’t rest in peace. Do you want me to feel tormented in the afterlife?”Rosalie said resignedly, “Fine, okay. I’ll find a man and get married. I’ll look for Christian now. I need to thank him and treat him to a meal anyway.“I also have to buy ten new suits for River, that bastard. No wonder he didn’t fight back when I hit him and splashed him with wine. He was digging a trap for me.“If we weren’t enemies, I would’ve suspected that he was doing it on purpose and finding an excuse for me to buy him new clothes. That way, he can have plenty of new clothes for free.”Last time, she only gave Ri

Old Mr. Lafayette did not urge Rosalie. He let her ponder.After a long time, she finally answered his question. “I admit River is a good man and worth entrusting myself to, but he’s not suitable for me.“Our companies have similar business models. We’re competitors. If he were simply an employee, we could’ve headhunted him and made him work for us. That way, River and I can still be together.“However, he’s not an employee but the co-owner of Crest Co. He was the one who revived the company. There’s no way he’ll abandon it because he’s already attached to it.“Besides, we’re competitors and enemies. Even if we feel any sort of admiration for each other, we can’t be husband and wife. If we do, we’ll have to keep preventing one another from stealing our companies’ confidential files.“You can stop your wishful thinking, Grandpa. River and I can’t be together.”Old Mr. Lafayette was rendered speechless.His granddaughter was right on this.Unless River gave up on Crest Co., sol

“Everyone has their biases, after all. They still wouldn’t necessarily be on the same page even if Serenity were his actual sister-in-law. Sometimes, the ones who wish most for your failure are your own flesh and blood.”“That logic applies to most, but not to River and his cousin’s wife.”Decades of life had honed Old Mr. Lafayette’s judgment to razor-sharpness.“I can tell Ms. Serenity genuinely treats River as if he were her younger brother, and he respects her deeply in return. They’re like real siblings.“So, she’ll always take his side. From now on, you should keep your distance. Otherwise, you’ll be caught between them, sold out, and you’d still be counting their earnings for them.”Rosalie’s cheeks flushed. “Grandpa, do you really think I’m that stupid? How could I let them play me like that?“Besides, Serenity is just here on vacation. She’ll leave Solville in a few days. What could she possibly pull?“I just adore her children. Those two are unbelievably adorable. If y

Back at the Lafayettes’ home, with a full stomach and a clear mind, Rosalie leaned back on the sofa, replaying River’s actions from earlier. Something felt off.Her parents had already left for their post-meal walk, a daily health ritual of theirs. After sitting for about ten minutes following each meal, they would stroll hand-in-hand around the manor grounds for at least half an hour before returning.Her grandfather, despite his advanced age, still held the reins at the company, tirelessly working for the family’s future while his son had long since retired. Fortunately, the younger generation was capable enough to share the burden.Thus, on weekends, the old man either rested at home or gathered friends for chess or card games. Without these distractions, he would resort to his favorite pastime—nagging his grandchildren about marriage, one after another, in an endless cycle.Every grandchild of his prayed he would invite his friends over for chess matches, as the battles on the

“Oh.”Relieved, Heath immediately launched into a detailed account of their recent adventures.Zachary and his children chattered away for over half an hour.Had Serenity not intervened by reminding them their father needed to eat, the little ones might have kept going indefinitely. Even Zachary’s phone battery was nearly drained.Lil’ Pie, though limited in vocabulary, kept interjecting with soft, sweet calls of “Dad”, melting his heart each time.“Tell Mom I’ll come pick you guys up next Sunday.” Zachary said, already regretting not carving out time this weekend to fly to Solville.Heath answered, “I’ll tell Mom. Bye, Dad! Mom says it's time to eat.”“Okay, bye.”Zachary lingered wistfully, letting the children end the call first.After setting his sister down, Heath slid off the sofa and carried the phone to the dining room.After the phone was returned to her, Serenity checked it. Only 5% of the battery was left. Thank goodness they had hung up when they did, or else it w

Zachary protested, “Hey, I’m not the scheming one! Whatever my brothers do, you can’t pin it on me. The blame for that is too big for me to carry.“So, how did the proposal go? Was it a success?” Now intrigued, Zachary asked.Serenity laughed. “Of course not. But River immediately set another trap. I’m not sure how he’ll ensnare Rosalie this time, but one thing’s for certain. She can’t escape. He’s got her right where he wants her.“After years of rivalry, they know each other inside out. But honestly, I think River’s been going easy on her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t stand a chance against him.“He’s just too cunning.”Zachary chuckled. “Well, you have to take into account who raised us. Since we now have an idea of who River’s other half is going to be, come home early. I miss you guys.”“But we agreed on ten days. It’s still too soon.”“Honey, counting the day you left, half that amount of time has already passed. How is that ‘too soon’?”“But I want to watch more of the show!
