At that thought, Jenny couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Among the three Sutton brothers, the eldest was doing the best. There was no doubt about that. He was a business owner and had pulled ahead from normal families like theirs long ago. Next was their household. Although Harold might
Cynthia caught what Jenny was trying to tell her. "You're saying that Miranda bought the villa?" "Yes, she's really made something of herself! Unlike Quincey, who could only get a dead-end job at the power plant…" Jenny sighed. "How could a young woman like Miranda get that much money?" Jenny cov
Leonard continued, "That's not a problem. Once the payments come in and we have more cash, we can pay a bit extra and buy the villa from someone else." Rena's lips twitched. She wanted to retort that who would buy a second-hand house as a marital home? Nonetheless, her husband had made his point. C
Cynthia changed into indoor slippers and glanced around the living room. She noticed several large packed boxes in the corner before sitting silently on the couch. "Lionel, Mindy, are you clearing out your house?" Mindy said with a smile, "No, we're just packing up some bedding and clothes.""Have
Cynthia spoke earnestly as she advised Miranda, "What I'm trying to say is simple. As women, we should never take shortcuts no matter how tough it gets. We need to work hard and stay grounded. We should not rely on luck and stay away from unscrupulous ways of making money!" Miranda nodded in agreem
Now, Karen could grow vegetables, raise chickens, and even rear fish. Her whole family would have more than enough to eat!"Hey, you're moving out?" Karen stood at the gate of her yard with her arms crossed. There was a mocking smile on her face. Lionel had no time to pay her any attention as he wa
Lionel answered, "Let me discuss this with Mindy first…" "Discuss?" Anna's tone grew stern. "What's there to discuss? Aren't you the man of the household? Do you need to consult your wife on such a simple matter before making a decision?" "Mom, this isn't about being the head of the household. No
Jenny's comments seemed harmless, but her tone sounded off, as if she was hinting at something else. Rena's eyes flickered. "I still don't know what job Mimi is doing in Elgerson City. She must be doing something extraordinary, right? After all, ordinary people don't just make millions." Miranda f
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
