"Even you're saying that we're all family, and Father won't be biased. Do you find it amusing to be constantly worrying about the company's equity all day, every day?"After being reprimanded, Matthew also grew agitated. They were both at an age where obsessing over property distribution should be a thing of the past.Vivienne continued to vent. "I'm constantly worrying? Why don't you show me some of the same concerns then? At least be a man when it counts. What good does being the 'nice man' do anyway?"Matthew finally lost his cool. "Alright, I'm useless! Is this what you want to hear?"Seeing that Matthew, who rarely lost his head, actually got angry, Melissa was taken aback for a moment. She stopped him as he was about to leave the mansion. "It's getting dark out there. Where do you think you're going?!""I'm useless, so I need some time to myself to reflect on my uselessness. Is that too much to ask too?" Matthew snorted and left without looking back."That worthless piece o

Cherry pondered the news, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Mommy, actually, having Papa Austin as my daddy would be quite nice. He's rich, handsome, and kind. He treats us both well. He's a perfect husband and father."The most important thing was that Austin had no other women around him, which was much better than certain other people."You don’t know anything," Sophie retorted. Sophie's tightened grip caused Cherry to recoil, rubbing her face. "I do too understand! Mommy, don't miss this opportunity."Sophie might have taken the advice more seriously if it had come from an adult, but hearing it from a five-year-old only made her laugh. "You think you're grown-up because you can talk, huh?"Changing the subject, Sophie brought breakfast to the table. "Go wash up quickly. After breakfast, we’ll go out."Unsatisfied, Cherry stuck her tongue out. However, she was about to comply for the sake of the cake when the doorbell suddenly rang."I'll get it." Cherry rushed to the door

"No, I should leave. I have work at the company. Plus, I’m concerned those relentless journalists might follow me here."As Austin prepared to depart, Cherry grabbed his arm, looking up with longing eyes. "Papa Austin, will you come to see Cherry tomorrow? I want to see you every day.""Are you only excited about the cakes I bring? Watch out for tooth bugs that will eat all your little teeth," Austin jested as he saw through her ruse, playfully pinching her nose.Cherry pouted, feeling underestimated. "Bugs don't cause tooth decay. Adults always tease kids for not knowing enough."Austin soothed her, "Right, Cherry is the smartest primary student I know.""Hmm, Papa Austin, how did you know I started primary school?" Cherry asked, with Sophie's curious gaze following.Before Sophie could ask, Austin explained with a smile, "I happened to pass by your school the last time I was discussing a contract and saw you taking Cherry there. I didn't want to interrupt. I need to get going n

Sophie's smile froze briefly as she contemplated Cherry's uncanny resemblance to Cedric, which became more evident with each passing day. Frequently, she found herself gazing at her slumbering daughter, her mind filled with conflicting thoughts.Upon noting Sophie's silence, Jeff's smile broadened affectionately. There was no longer a need to ask whose child Cherry was—the answer was clear.Finally understanding, Cherry felt a mix of reluctance and conflict. After all, such a generous gift made it hard to dislike this kind-hearted old man, who seemed nothing like Cedric."Grandpa, did you come here by yourself?" Sophie diverted the topic. She had anticipated his visit after the recent news but had not expected him to come alone at his age."Don't underestimate me. I may be old, but I can still manage a cab ride." Jeff chuckled, glancing toward the living room window.-Downstairs, Cedric gazed up at the top floor, a smile flickering on his lips, replaced quickly by a touch of mel

Cherry's stories thoroughly entertained Jeff, eliciting robust laughter from him.Following a vivid narration of the three little pigs and becoming familiar enough to cheekily tug at his beard, she asked, "Grandpa, did you enjoy Cherry's story?""Absolutely delightful, the best story I've heard," Jeff replied, his chuckles echoing warmly. Cherry's intelligence and charm were irresistibly engaging."Grandpa, what would you like for dinner? I can prepare something," Sophie offered, glancing at the clock. She was aware of the importance of regular meals for Jeff's health and sugar levels."There’s no need, dear. I’ve imposed on you enough for one day," Jeff said, gracefully preserving her dignity."Mommy, Grandpa probably thinks your lunch was too bad. Grandpa, I eat Mommy’s cooking every day, and it's quite pitiful," Cherry blurted out."Nonsense, you said my bacon sandwich was tasty," Sophie retorted, trying to hide her slight embarrassment.Cherry stuck out her tongue. "I was ju

"Well, it's getting late. I'll come to visit you again in a few days.""I can drive you back," Sophie offered, reaching for her car keys.Jeff declined. "No need, I came here on my own, and I'll leave the same way.""But Grandpa, it's almost dark. Mommy and I will worry about you," Cherry pleaded, showing genuine concern despite her small stature."Don't worry, Cherry. I have many more presents to give you, so I'll be just fine."Since Jeff insisted, Sophie did not press further and helped him to the elevator, supporting him gently."Mommy, is Grandpa really okay going back alone?""He'll be fine," Sophie reassured her as they watched from the window. She observed as Jeff disappeared around a corner and then noticed a Bentley heading toward the Carlson residence. She turned away, her expression complex.'Whatever!'-In the car, Cedric watched his grandfather through the rearview mirror.Jeff caught his gaze."What are you looking at? As I said five years ago, you’d regret

After an alarming roller coaster ride of information, Mrs. Carrie nodded, her expression still troubled. "Yes, Master Carlson. I will ensure Mrs. Carlson and Miss Carlson are well cared for.""Father, is this really necessary? Sophie has all she needs. Does she really require Mrs. Carrie's assistance?" Melissa questioned, her displeasure evident.The thought of Sophie potentially leveraging her child for a comeback, especially after their last encounter at Luxford Group, unsettled her.Jeff's cane thudded against the floor firmly. "It's perfectly appropriate. Sophie and Cedric are still legally married. She is still a part of our Carlson family. It's my right to arrange for my granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter's care.""We know they're not divorced, but didn't you see the news yesterday? Sophie and Austin seemed overly close, causing quite a scandal. If the public finds out she's still part of the Carlson family, what about Cedric’s reputation?""That so-called scandal

The once harmonious family had been deeply fractured due to events five years ago, leaving their home barely recognizable. If things continued this way, even greater heartaches would be inevitable.Cedric turned his gaze toward the study's closed door. Despite the situation that should have enraged him, he remained surprisingly calm.He smiled confidently, determined. "She can only be my woman. No one can change that."The more Austin challenged him, the more it proved his own uncertainties.In the study, Jeff's face blazed with anger as he sat firmly in an armchair, his wise, seasoned eyes locked onto Austin."Austin, do you realize the gravity of what you're saying? Sophie is your cousin-in-law. Even if she and Cedric part ways, I will never accept a relationship between you two. Rid yourself of such inappropriate thoughts.""What if I can't?" Austin's steady gaze did not waver, his stoic expression tinged with a hint of sadness and defiance. "Since childhood, you've favored Ce
