Chapter 5520
Over the decades, Maddie continued to mourn Ike’s death as his widow. Thus, Kaden tolerated her for her steadfastness in giving birth to the Flemmings’ only offspring back then. Plus, Everly was outstanding enough to bear the responsibility of helming Flemming Group.Kaden could rest in peace after death.That was why, for the past few decades, the Flemmings continued to support the Zellers, and Kaden merely closed an eye whenever Maddie sent things to her birth family. It was only some supplements, after all, as his daughter-in-law did not have access to large amounts of money and her authority was limited to the household. She held no decision-making power, nor could she interfere in anything else.However, the Zellers constantly tried to manipulate Everly through these ties, and Kaden had seriously had enough of it.It was not once or twice. It had happened countless times now.No matter how good-tempered or how great the debt of gratitude was, he could not tolerate it anymore.

“Yes, I’m making a visit. You’re not feeling well?” Maddie asked in concern. “What’s wrong? Do you need to see the doctor? I’ll call the family doctor to stop by.”She followed Kaden back into the house and placed the gifts she prepared on the coffee table. Kaden glanced over them and saw they were all expensive supplements and health foods.There was no need for the Zellers to buy things of the sort because the moment they ran out, they only had to make a call to Maddie for her to hurriedly send some home.If she was giving them to her parents, Kaden had no comments about it, because it was normal for children to show filial piety to their parents. However, most of the time, the stuff she brought home was divided up between her siblings. Rarely, or not at all, was any left for her parents.When they needed more, they would call Maddie.All these years, the Zellers were used to mooching off of Maddie because the Flemmings were much better off, and Everly was their only offspring.

Kaden looked pleadingly at Sonny.Sonny did not want them to continue fighting, so spontaneously, he said, “I do want to get to know Clearfield’s industry leaders. Since you’re so kindly giving me this chance, I won’t refuse your good intentions.“Ms. Flemming, I won’t work late tonight. I’ll go with you to that banquet. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you to introduce me to them.”The moment the words left his mouth, there was no room for regret.Nevertheless, he did not regret it. It was just a brief moment of weakness that made him not want to continue watching the show.Everly’s head whipped around to glare at him, accusing him of giving in to her grandfather. He had opened the floodgates and now her grandfather would keep making requests like this.Sonny chuckled, “It’s fine if you don’t want my accompaniment. We can go our own ways, but I didn’t get an invitation, so I might get stopped at the door.”That would be embarrassing.Kaden hurriedly reassured, “That w

Sonny was surprised for a moment, not expecting Kaden to ask him to accompany Everly to a banquet.If the two attended the banquet together, it was only going to fuel rumors.Before he could refuse, Everly said, “Grandpa, I can go alone. There’s no need to trouble Mr. Brown. I’ll bring the bodyguards and my secretary with me, and they’ll protect me. “Besides, I usually don’t drink that much at banquets. That’s well known here in Clearfield. Few would dare force me to drink.”Though she was a girl, she was raised by her grandfather and started learning the ropes of the business in her teens. She was considered to have over a decade of experience in the industry. Having built her reputation with her status and identity, and with Flemming Group as her backing, no one dared to make light of her.In fact, most people did not dare to provoke her, knowing she was not an easy one to deal with.Some people schemed against her, but most of them were her relatives. They only dared to do so

“You hosted us when we visited you, so now that you’re in Clearfield, we definitely must show you our hospitality.”Kaden chuckled, “Why don’t you just come stay with us? My house is big enough, and we have plenty of guest rooms.”“Thank you, sir, but my secretary’s already booked a hotel room for me. After this, I’ll head there to freshen up before going to the office.”Every time he went on a business trip, his secretary would help him book his accommodation and flights.The only exception was if he already owned a place at his destination. Then, he would just stay in his property, and his secretary would book his flight or train tickets for him.“Is that so? Alright, then. The next time you visit, you should give us a heads up. We’ll arrange everything for you.”Sonny thanked him with a smile and did not turn down Kaden’s platitudes outright.The three chatted for a while before the manager entered with some servers to serve the food.“Do you drink, Mr. Brown?” Kaden asked.

It was better to refuse firmly from the beginning rather than getting dragged into the whirlpool of emotional blackmail from her relatives.Sonny expressed his understanding.His Aunt Chelsea had also wanted him to arrange jobs for his cousins, saying that Lewis & Co. was a huge company with many positions available. All he had to do was find them a random job, and they could earn a high income and improve their living conditions.However, in Sonny’s opinion, Chelsea’s family was already living quite comfortably.George’s building-materials business was doing well, and they had an annual income of several hundred thousand. Chelsea had also saved quite a bit of money when she was younger. In the past, the family’s living expenses had been covered by the old Brown couple’s pensions and Hank’s money.Chelsea and George saved their own income, deliberately spending Hank’s money instead. After Sonny’s parents divorced, his father lost his job and could only work as a ride-hailing drive
