“Yes, my Elisa has her pride. It’s not like no one else wants to marry my daughter.”Audrey still knew her daughter best.If Elisa said she would give up, then she would stay true to her words.The sound of a car was heard coming from outside.Alice stood up and while walking out of the house, she said, “That must be Elisa.”There was her sister-in-law in sight.Elisa got out of the car and walked toward her sister-in-law, showing a bright smile. “Alice, Mom is still at home, right?”Alice’s heart ached when she saw her sister-in-law smiling so radiantly. She would rather Elisa cry her heart out than smile like that. Heavens knew it only meant that the brighter Elisa smiled, the deeper the pain in her heart.She sighed.It was painful enough to fall in love with a man she should not fall in love with, and it was even more painful to know that the man had just gotten married.“Mom is still at home. Elisa, are you okay?”“Do I look like I’m not okay? Don’t worry, Alice. I’m gr

Serenity said with a smile, “Elisa mentioned that Mr. Bucham is from a family that deals with intelligence. If you get together with him, you’ll have first-hand accounts of all sorts of drama. You like it when it’s lively, so I feel like he’s born for you. You two are a great match.”Jasmine was speechless.Was she getting a boyfriend to get married with or to gossip?“You mentioned that your sister’s ex-mother-in-law called you again?”Jasmine hurriedly changed the topic.She did not want her best friend to gossip about her.“My sister divorced that scumbag and moved out, so they naturally couldn’t wait to move in. However, they can only rent a house, stay in a hotel, or go back home now. With my knowledge of their family, they would definitely stay in the city for the New Year’s instead of going home.”The Brown family must have spread the word in their hometown that the family would be going to the city for New Year’s.Thus, even if there was no house to live in, the family

”Old Mr. Hunt, you clearly received sixty thousand from me. I gave it to you in cash. That was my private funds which I saved for a long time. You took the money and said you would convince Serenity, but you failed. My son still ended up divorcing Liberty.“Please hurry up and return the money to me, or I’ll call the police.”When the old man refused to admit he took the money, Olivia was so angry that her face turned scarlet.Old Mr. Hunt said with a cold face, “If you want to call the police, then be my guest. I’m not afraid. I already said that I didn’t take your money, but so what if I did? Take it as making up for the betrothal gift that you failed to give us when your son married my granddaughter.“You’re having it easy by paying just tens of thousands for the betrothal gift. You have a daughter yourself too. When your daughter got married, were you willing to give your daughter away to your son-in-law’s family without receiving a single penny in return?”Olivia said furious

Several luxury cars came from far, passed by the main entrance of Wiltspoon School, and stopped in front of Serenity’s bookstore.Grandma May, who was chatting with Mr. Charles from next door, hurriedly turned away when she saw the luxury cars. She deliberately hung her head low, afraid that the people who got down from the cars would see her.“Serenity, Serenity.”When Elisa got out of the car, she shouted Serenity’s name while jogging into the store.She did not notice the old lady sitting in front of the store next door.Darrell got out of the car, holding a crying Audrey, and followed their daughter into the store. Alice ordered the bodyguards to guard the entrance before she turned around and entered the store as well.Serenity was halfway through weaving an eagle with its wings spread when she heard Elisa’s cry. She stopped her movements and looked up at Elisa.“Elisa, you’re here. Have you eaten? If you haven’t...”Then, she saw Audrey, who was accompanied by Darrell nex

As Mr. Stone and his daughter were busy tending to Mrs. Stone, only then Alice remembered to bring back the DNA report. Alice handed the DNA test results to Serenity so that the latter could have a look herself.After reading the outcome, Serenity fell silent for a while before putting the paper on the table. “You’re my niece, Serenity. Call me Aunt Audrey.” Although fate had separated her from her sister, it was sort of a consolation for Mrs. Stone to have found two nieces in return. Holding Serenity’s hand, Mrs. Stone asked the girl for a more intimate form of address. “Where’s Liberty and Sonny?” Her other niece was not forgotten. “My sister won’t be here for lunch. She’ll be here once she gets off work at half-past five in the evening.” Serenity explained while looking at Jasmine. With Jasmine carrying Sonny over, Serenity took her nephew from her best friend. “Ma’am…” Mrs. Stone interrupted Serenity mid-sentence. “It’s Aunt Audrey to you, Seren. I’ve been drea

Elisa only discovered later that she missed out on great fun. She took a dig at Jasmine and Serenity. Jasmine had mentioned and warned Serenity about including Elisa, but Serenity did not want to expose the young heiress to such crudeness. Sure, Elisa was born into privilege, but she was Elisa Stone, a well-known unreasonable and rude brat in Wiltspoon’s higher society. No crudeness could scare her. In fact, Elisa would be the sh*t-stirrer if people caught her at the wrong time. “My sister got what she was owed. It was just the renovation costs that the Browns refused to return. So, my sister called me to bring some men and trashed the furnishings.” Mrs. Stone commended the act. “That’s the way to do it. Why should the Browns have it easy?” She added regrettably, “I’d have brought a bunch of people and demanded the money back from the Browns as your family member had I known.” It dawned on Serenity that Elisa got her personality from her mother. “Seren, come home with

This was the mindset of the older generation. They believed the inheritance should stay in the family by leaving them to the sons and grandsons as daughters would only grow up to marry into another family. For families without a direct descendant to bequeath the inheritance to, fellow townspeople would be eyeing the property. They would keep the wealth in the town. Many were unwilling to leave their hard-earned assets to someone who did not carry the family name. Hence, they would try to bring a son into the family. “Are you talking about John Hunt by chance?” John’s name rang a bell as he was once a senior executive at one of the Stones’ subsidiaries. John made a million dollars annually. For John to earn a huge chunk of change from the Stones, to push around her nieces, and to take over her sister’s property, Mrs. Stone could not say he left a good impression. She needed to get Clive to go hard on John so the latter would not be able to even make a living out of begging

“I know you and your sister aren’t pushovers, but I just want to do right by my sister.” Serenity was without a word. The aunt and niece shared an afternoon of conversation. Mrs. Stone insisted on going with Serenity to pick Liberty up at Lewis & Co. at five o’clock in the evening. Serenity let her be. Taking the wheel, Serenity drove Sonny, Mrs. Stone, and the others to Lewis & Co. Jasmine and Mrs. Lane did not come along. Halfway on the road, Serenity’s mind suddenly flew to Grandma May. She had not seen the old lady the whole afternoon. Serenity immediately gave Grandma May a call. She jumped straight to the question the moment the phone was picked up. “Nana, where were you?” “I was taking a stroll. Are you heading home? I’ll grab a cab back then.” Grandma May had been at Mr. Charles’ shop the whole time. She dared not show her face for fear Mrs. Stone might see her. “Nana, the DNA test results for Mrs. Stone and me are out. She’s my aunt. Aunt Audrey wan

Tati had made it clear that she did not love Austin, and purely admired him. Why was Isabella looking at her like that? Austin’s fiancée would never be her. If it were, Austin would have treated her differently. So who on earth was Austin’s fiancee?Why would Old Mrs. York choose someone from Windermere for him?Austin came to be a chef before pursuing his future wife. Which city in Windermere was his fiancée from? Was it Satbury?If it were Satbury, which elite daughter could it be?There were many elite daughters in Satbury, but not many were superior to the O’Connor daughters. Tati recalled Austin’s special treatment toward Isabella. A thought crossed her mind, ‘Is Isabella the lady Old Mrs. York has chosen for Austin?’“Tati, I want to discuss something work-related with you.”Isabella thought Tati remained silent because of Austin’s news. Therefore, she used work as an excuse and brought Tati to the study on the second floor. After closing the door, Isabella poured

Louis and Phillip were not the only ones worried. Even Delphine and the rest were anxious too. While they did think it was inappropriate for someone of Austin’s status to be their chef, the food he made was truly delicious. They had already gotten used to his cooking. If he were to leave, they would have to adjust their tastes to another chef’s cooking. Tati had even more concerns. Isabella admired capable people. Austin was highly skilled in cooking and had a head for business too. Moreover, he was a young master of a wealthy family. That made him more suitable for Isabella. Would Isabella be attracted?Isabella probably could feel how differently he treated her, right?“Did you chase Austin away, Isa? Why didn’t he come back with you?”Louis continued asking questions. He was worried that Isabella might have fired Austin. Not only could Austin make delicious food, but he would also play with the boys. Louis and Phillip really liked Austin. They thought he was fun,

Austin knew her question was related to Tati.He was aware of Tati’s admiration for him.Nevertheless, he recognized Tati’s feelings as pure admiration. On the contrary, Tati must have noticed that he treated Isabella differently. She probably told Isabella about it in private, but Isabella simply did not have plans for marriage due to her heavy responsibilities. Austin said with certainty, “No. Although I haven’t succeeded in pursuing her, I’ve set my heart on her. She’s my fiancée, and she’ll become my wife in the future. The York family doesn’t allow divorce unless our wives cheat on us. However, that definitely won’t happen.“Every woman Nana chose has a good character and values.“I’ll be loyal to my marriage and family. I’ll only love my only wife for my entire life. How outstanding other women are is none of my business.”Austin did not want to be like Dylan. He would rather spend more time inventing recipes. Isabella said with a hint of regret, “Okay.”She had to te

Isabella could not find anyone who suited her tastes in Satbury. She knew the city was filled with talented young men, but none made her heart race. Their goal was usually the O’Connor family business. The men knew Louis was young and that Isabella was the head of the family. If they could win her heart, it would be equivalent to conquering the O’Connor family. From there, they could gradually swallow the family whole. Isabella dared not date anyone. She was scared of falling into someone’s trap. She would not let her feelings show, even if she had a crush on someone.“Many people are aiming for my family’s status and wealth. I dare not date or get married for fear that I’d destroy the family once and for all. Those people will go to great lengths for money and power.”Isabella was even wary of young masters of wealthy families, let alone ambitious men from inferior backgrounds. “I know Nana is doing this for us. She had chosen our wives. Our parents didn’t need to worry

Isabella knew it would not be that quick. By the time Louis could take over, which would be twenty years later, she would already be close to fifty years old. If she got married and had children within the next two years, her children could inherit her businesses a few years after Louis took over the family business. That way, she could finally retire for good. “Austin, you’re aware that I sent someone to Wiltspoon to investigate your background, right? There was no information about you being a young master of the Yorks. Was it because you didn’t want me to know about it?”“No.”Austin said honestly, “I wasn’t aware. Zachary was the one who told me that you investigated me twice. You couldn’t find the connection between me and York Corporation because Zachary covered it up for me.“He knew that I was here to cook and improve my skills. If you knew I was a young master of the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon, you might not have hired me as your private chef. If so, I wouldn’t be

Isabella smiled and said, “If the person taking over the family business doesn’t have true ability, they won’t be able to bear the responsibility. In this way, they can still prove themselves. Of course, starting a business from scratch and inheriting from a generation or two back is different.“For those who are supported by their family, no matter how many achievements they have, others will say they relied on their family’s support. If they fail, people will call them useless and a waste, and that family wealth will never last more than three generations. They’ll just wait for your family to go bankrupt.“So, without real ability, no one can take over the family business.”Austin was silent for a moment before responding, “What you say is true. My eldest brother, for example, is very capable. Although we could all take on the responsibility, none of us is as steady as he is. He’s the real anchor of our family. With him around, we don’t have to worry even if the sky falls.“Becau

Oh, right. Ruth mentioned that the York family elders were very open-minded.Open-minded elders and a good family culture were what cultivated outstanding children. It was little wonder that Austin was exceptional and bore such an impressive demeanor. It turned out that he was from a prestigious family.“Isa, what's wrong with Austin? Can we start eating now?”Louis and Phillip were completely confused. All they knew was Austin was not from a simple family, and that he was very capable. Even Ruth had shaken hands with him.The two boys were too young to understand anything besides that. They were just hungry and wanted to eat. It was cold, and the barbecue was very comforting to eat hot off the grill.Isabella smiled and said, “All you two think about is eating. Well, the meat and vegetables are all cooked, so we can start eating now.”As she spoke, she grabbed some meat, shrimp, and vegetables for her baby brothers. Then, she began eating, and everyone followed suit.Ruth too

After Austin left, Isabella asked her friend, "Ruth, do you know the Wiltspoon Yorks? Is Austin really one of them?"“You’ve never been to Wiltspoon, Isabella, and it's so far away. Plus your family doesn't have business there, so it's normal you don't know much about them. I was there for half a month for a trip, and my in-laws have business there.“Last time, when I went on a business trip with my husband, we heard a lot of gossip and rumors related to the York family.“In Wiltspoon, there are several prominent families, but the wealthiest and most powerful is the York family. York Corporation holds the same status in the business world of Wiltspoon as your family does here.”Ruth was introducing the York family to everyone, giving them a preliminary understanding of the family. After that explanation, Ruth added, “The York family has a great family culture to boot. The men in their family are all very loyal. Once they marry, they will remain loyal to their wife and family for

“Your family? As in, Wiltspoon’s York Corporation? Is that your family’s company?” Ruth asked in shock. She looked at Austin, disbelief written all over her face. The members of the O'Connor family were all watching the two of them.“Yeah, that’s my family's company. Our ancestors were good enough to build a strong foundation my elder brother now manages.”“Where do you fall in the order of your siblings and cousins?” Ruth had once traveled to Wiltspoon with her husband for a business trip and had spent half a month there, so she knew a bit about the most prominent family in Wiltspoon. She had also been deeply impressed by the good values the Yorks had. She had heard that the York sons were all exceptional, talented individuals, and indeed, Austin was exceptionally handsome—so much so that it could even incur a god’s jealousy. But how did a young master of the York family end up working as a chef for the O'Connor family?Though York Corporation was based in Wiltspoon, its fina
