Callia looked a little embarrassed. “I feel guilty that Chloe had to cancel her business dinner for me.”“Once work is over, you and Chloe aren’t boss and employee anymore. You're like sisters, so don't feel guilty.” Jane immediately wrapped an arm around Callia’s and said, “Besides, I promised your mother that I’d take good care of you.”“I can take care of myself. I'm twenty-two. I’m not a child anymore.”“No matter how old you get, you’ll still be a child in our eyes. Chloe told me you’re still living in the company-provided dormitory. Why don’t you stay at a hotel or come live with us? Your family owns a house here, too.”Callia replied, “The dorm is more convenient. I’m only working a summer job, and my income is limited. I don't want to spend all my money before I’ve earned it.”The company-provided dormitory made commuting easy.It was also the most affordable option.“That makes sense, but if you ever need anything, just tell us. And if anyone gives you a hard time, you

“Chloe hasn’t come out yet.” Iris kept looking toward the elevators, waiting for her future daughter-in-law to appear.“Maybe Chloe is tied up with business meetings.”Since joining FC & Co., Callia had not seen Chloe once.She was just an ordinary employee, while Chloe was the CEO. Someone at Callia’s level could not simply walk in and meet the boss whenever she wanted.If their families were not longtime friends, getting a chance to see Chloe would have been incredibly difficult.Jane pulled out her phone and gave her daughter a call.However, Chloe did not pick up.“She must still be busy. I'm afraid she won’t have time to come home for dinner.”“Chloe is really busy,” Callia replied. “Aunt Jane, try calling her again in a few minutes.”Jane agreed. “She probably knows why I’m calling. I’ll wait for her to get back to me.“She works so much that she doesn’t even have time to answer her mother's calls. We told her she could take it easy. If she wanted to start a business, f

“Take some time to study it. The O’Connors are genuinely a great family. The only real challenge for women who marry into it is the pressure to have children. But with our family’s genes, having sons has never been a problem. As long as you have a boy first, nobody will care whether the second or third child is a son or a daughter.”They had yet to establish a connection with Louis, and Manny was already thinking about how many grandchildren his daughter might give him.Roxy accepted the folder he handed her.“Pa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”“Go ahead. I'll take you to an auction next week, so make sure you’re prepared. Get yourself a few new outfits and some jewelry. I’ll transfer some money to you later.”Roxy was not short on money.Still, since Manny wanted to give her some, she was not about to refuse.With that, she left. As she drove out through the front gate, she noticed that the pile of discarded flowers had been cleaned up.She stopped the car for a m

“What's wrong with the O’Connors?” Manny asked his daughter.“Back then, everybody wanted to marry a daughter from the O'Connor family. I don't think I did anything wrong. Besides, it was your grandfather who arranged it. I had no choice but to go with his decision.”“Pa, Louis is from your generation. He's almost ten years older than me,” Roxy complained.“Louis is only in his early thirties. How is that old? Besides, he's not part of our family, so what does being from the same generation matter? You're twenty-five. You're a perfect match for him.“A man a few years older will know how to take care of his wife. Besides, the O'Connor family has an excellent reputation. Countless women would do anything for a chance to marry into that family.”Manny added, “If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't even think about introducing you to Louis. If you really think Louis is too old, then consider Phillip. He's a little younger than his brother.”“He's only a year younger,” Roxy replied.

“Fine, fine. I’ll reimburse you for it. Don’t do such things in the future. Laurence has a heart of stone and won’t fall for such things.”“I was just trying to be romantic like other people were. Who knew he wouldn’t even look at it, wouldn’t even show his face, and just arrange for a wheel loader to crush my flower arrangement? In all my life, it’s the first time I’ve put so much effort into preparing a flower arrangement for someone.”Roxy looked up the photo she had taken of the flower arrangement and showed it to her father. “Look, Pa, those flowers were really pretty when all arranged well. If someone sincerely did this for me and proposed to me, I would definitely say yes.”Manny was quiet.His daughter was of marriageable age.Indeed, it was hard to keep daughters at home once they got older.“Roxy, there’s no need to continue pursuing Laurence anymore. I’ll help you look for a match.”Manny felt that back then, it had been a mistake to get his daughter to approach Laure

The wheel loader driver did as Laurence instructed and delivered the crushed flowers to the entrance of Longbottom Corporation, dumping all of it there.The security guards at Longbottom Corporation were still wondering why a wheel loader and an Isuzu were there until the flowers were dumped at their building entrance. They immediately came to their senses and ran out to question the driver.The driver replied, “These flowers were given to Mr. Young by Ms. Longbottom, but he didn’t accept them, so he asked us to transport them back here.“Now, he’s returned them to her. Remember, Mr. Young didn’t accept a single flower from Ms. Longbottom.”The driver drove off.The security guards exchanged trepid glances before hurriedly taking photos and sending them on to their team leader, thereafter reporting it to the higher-ups.Soon, Roxy received a call from her father.Manny gave her the tongue-lashing of her life over the phone.She was still waiting at the Longtail Group entrance f
