Chapter 4992
“All that good reputation is just rumors. It’s a carefully crafted image. Look at their daughters-in-law. None of them is ordinary. They’re all from prestigious families, all strong and capable women.“They’re all well-matched in status. Even the so-called Cinderella who married into the York family is actually from a wealthy family. So don’t be naive, and don’t believe those stories.“That’s just an image built for the men in their family. Cinderella’s story isn’t real.”Sheila said calmly, “Whether their image is real or staged has nothing to do with me. I’ve said it before. Alex and I are just neighbors. We’re ordinary friends.“It’s not what you think, so stop bringing him up all the time.”Sheila had no intention of marrying into wealth, so she did not care about Alex’s background.Whether he was a wealthy scion or an ordinary worker, to her, he was just a neighbor and a friend she got along with.When making friends, she valued character, not family background.“Kent, I’v
Chapter 4991
After hanging up, Kent’s expression turned extremely grim.He slumped weakly into his chair and stared blankly at the night outside the window.It turned out that Alex was actually from the richest family in Wiltspoon. Regardless of his rank among the York brothers, he was still an heir, someone Kent could never hope to reach in his lifetime.Alex was truly lucky to be born into such a powerful family.No wonder Alex could casually buy a house in Westbrooke Gardens. No wonder he carried such an air of nobility. Kent had to admit it even if he did not want to praise his rival.Alex’s overall qualities far surpassed his own. That was exactly why Kent felt threatened and mocked Alex for living off his relatives.Little did he know that he himself was the joke.The luxury car Alex drove clearly belonged to him. He did not need to rely on anyone because he had more than enough money himself.After a long while, Kent snapped out of it and immediately called Sheila.Sheila had just g

“The York family’s property?” Kent asked in shock, “Those are properties of the Yorks?”Alex’s last name was York!If the shops on Westbrooke Street belonged to the York family, and Alex was helping his sister-in-law collect rent, then she must be the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family. This would mean Alex was indeed a son of the Yorks!Kent had heard that the Yorks had nine sons in this generation, so what was Alex’s birth order?“Boss, thank you for helping me find out all this.”“It’s not hard to find out. Just ask the shop owners on Westbrooke Street, and you’ll know who the real landlord is.“You just never looked into it, Kent. That’s why you didn’t know.”Kent had never looked into it. He only knew that the Joneses’ family clinic belonged to the Jones family. It was built on land they had purchased long ago.Buying land and building a multi-story structure in such a prime location showed that the Jones family had long been well-off.He also knew that Sheila’s pa
Chapter 4989
“Alright, thank you. You’ve really thought everything through.”Kent had not even thought of booking a hotel in advance. He had planned to look for one after they got tired.Mary was much more thoughtful.His parents were right. When he was with Mary, she handled everything carefully. He did not need to worry about anything, and she treated his parents even better than her own.Sheila did not love him. She never took the initiative to visit his parents, nor did she care for them, accompany them, or take them out.She also did not show the same care, concern, or tolerance that Mary did.Sheila simply did not love him. In her eyes, he was just one of many seniors, nothing special. So she would never behave like Mary.Perhaps this was the difference between loving and not loving someone.Mary loved him wholeheartedly. She accepted everything about him, cared for him, and treated his parents exceptionally well.Kent silently made a decision.When he thought about their family bac

“Let’s go.”“Okay.”The family of three headed out happily.“Kent, look, Mary can accompany us to the seaside, but Dr. Jones doesn’t even have time to eat with us. She hasn’t even come to visit us. Mary is clearly better,” Talia said.Talia seized every opportunity to praise Mary, strongly urging her son to choose the nurse.“Mom, we agreed to give me another six months. If Sheila still doesn’t accept my feelings after that, I’ll give up.”Mary was willing to wait another six months for him.If things with Sheila did not work out after six months, he would choose Mary.“Alright, alright, we’ll talk about it in six months. I just think Mary is more suitable for our family. She’s very capable and treats us well.”Talia thought, ‘Unlike that Dr. Jones. I heard her family hires a housekeeper to cook. She probably doesn’t even know how to cook. How would she take care of Kent in the future?‘If she went back to our hometown with Kent during the holidays, how would she prepare a pr
Chapter 4987
After a brief pause, Sheila continued, “I think his parents are not satisfied with me, mainly because they have Ms. Hicks as a comparison.“I know Ms. Hicks often goes to Kent’s house to cook and clean. Whenever his parents come into the city, she’s the one hosting them, buying groceries, cooking meals, and accompanying them to the hospital with him.“She also takes them out and buys them many gifts. She does everything so well that his parents are very pleased with her.“I’ve repeatedly rejected Kent, so I believe he’ll eventually give up on me, especially since his parents will interfere.”Kent’s parents clearly favored Mary more.Sheila’s analysis was right, as Kent’s parents were already persuading their son to accept Mary and give up on Sheila.In their eyes, no matter how rich Sheila was, she was too busy with work and had no time to take care of the family or their son.When they visited the city, she did not have time to accompany them, let alone prepare three meals a da

Another 3 1/4 page chapter.
Why are you taking the bonuses I earned? This is the slowest thing ever and now they take bonuses from me!!! Not a good way to earn my business!!
Too much repetition, chapters too small, dragging out the story way too long now. Frustrated.!
We really need more chapters this is not right we be reading this book till 2030. Oh please do better
Good Novel, upload more content, especially since I waited 4 days to read this book, and even though I got my reading credits, it was nothing but duplicate content throughout with maybe four sentences that was new content!
Praying for you Betty?
Are you kidding me? Can these chapters get any shorter? They’re not long enough to read as it is . Get on with the story!
We are praying for you Betty. I thought the book was moving forward, but the chapters seemed to get smaller.
Sending lots of love and prayers your way Betty hope there is more chapters coming soon for you
I love this book but each day I only get 5 minutes of reading it’s ridiculous at least give me a relaxing half hour a day I’m getting annoyed and ready to switch to another app
I hope you get healed Betty. God bless you.
i agree just finish the story
I sending prayers to you of headling also I really hope there is a ending to this book an wish they give all more chapters to read a day this is carzy
I am ready to stop reading this book it is nothing but repeat of the previous happenings. No follow ups with the other of grandma mays grandsons just on and on in tiny snippets of the past. Disgusting and costly. This will be the end of my No so GOOD READS!
To complete sorry
Who gives a shit about animal buns?
My heart goes out to Betty for her fight! And like the other readers, I too pray for healing and strength. I hope this author would take pity on the readers and wrap this book up. I have never seen a pregnancy drag on for over a year. The book app should care about the readers! I’m sick of this!
Sure this book will never end. God is with you Betty
please finish the story.
I will include you in my prayers Betty hope you beat this terrible disease ...
Another disappointment!! Move on. I will never read another book from you if this keeps going on this way!!!
Praying for you Betty. Keep strong in your Faith and know you are Blessed. Know that you are Loved, even by all of us that just met you!
Why is the chapters only 3 1/2 to 4 pages long? I hope I live long enough to finish this book. Why is Good Novel letting the author repeat and start writing smaller chapters? They should be worry about their ratings and comments customers are commenting.
Praying for you Betty
Rather sad to see this book take so long to read. Very short today.
Praying for you Betty! ......
Betty stay strong. My prayers are with you.
Please get on with this book. Soooo slow and same thing over and over
Oh really that's it for the day? You know Ive got cancer and I keep praying that I can finish this book before it consumes me, but I have realized that there is never gonna be an ending to this book!
