"No problem," Mr. Q agreed easily, then fist-bumped Aiden to seal their alliance.-Early in the morning, Renee woke up in a daze when the sharp sound of the doorbell rang out."Ugh... It's too early for this... Who is it?!"Renee yawned widely as she lazily went to open the door. When the door swung open, there was a sliver of Monte Perry Kindergarten executives. Led by the school director, they were dressed in formal wear, and each held a bouquet.They bowed in unison to Renee and shouted, "Good morning, Ms. Everheart! We're sorry! Please forgive us!"Renee took a step back in fright."W-what's going on?!""Ms. Everheart, you brought your son to register at our school yesterday, and unpleasant things ensued. After I learned what happened, the staff involved were seriously dealt with, and we abolished that ridiculous rule as soon as possible. We, the teachers and students of Monte Perry, would like to welcome you to our kindergarten warmly! Please accept these small gifts as a
"And who are you?" Renee asked with a bewildered look on her face."Hello, Ms. Everheart. I'm an employee from Scud. A customer entrusted me to deliver breakfast to you. It's freshly baked and piping hot, so please be careful. Please sign here.""Breakfast?"Renee was even more confused.Who would personally make breakfast for her in the morning?"Can I know who sent it?""The client would like to stay anonymous.""I don't even know who sent it, so I definitely won't sign it. It's best you send it back to where it came from."Renee was very guarded. Her address was hidden, and only Liam, Leia, and Aiden knew it.Yet today, a large group of people had suddenly dropped by. Something had to be going on!Her face turned cold, and she was about to close the door when Aiden suddenly ran out."Wait, Mommy! I had this breakfast specially made for you! You must try it!"The little boy tugged on Renee's hand and said sincerely, "Mommy, you're an adult that can take care of yourself
In Renee's opinion, the male escort wasn't too shabby. He was not only handsome, but he also had a fine figure with good muscles. He was also understanding and was fine with her being intelligent and beautiful. When she was less busy, she would consider this again.Apart from him, Jovan was also quite good-looking. If she had the time, she would tease him again. It should be fun.Julian wasn't too bad either; she could invite him into her hacking team. Haze was even more capable. She still needed to get the time and ask him to teach her binary coding.Renee picked up a slice of bread and took a bite, chewing as she decided.'What's so irreplaceable about him? He’s as dead as a doornail now. The world is big, and there are plenty of men out there, just as varied as the types of food laid before me. I should take my time and try them out slowly. I will eventually find the right one that suits me!'Only, as Renee continued to chew, her expression turned ugly.Damn... The bread that
"Emergency! Emergency! Calling Q! Calling Q!" Aiden had just called out on the walkie-talkie when Mr. Q responded immediately as if he had been waiting there all along. "Q speaking! Q speaking!" The man asked confidently, "Have you had breakfast? Have my superb cooking skills amazed you?" "What are you talking about? It wasn't amazing. It was terrifying! Mommy almost called the police after eating your dark cuisine," Aiden replied as he threw up his hands helplessly. "Dark cuisine?" Mr. Q's voice turned cold, obviously disagreeing. "That food was carefully made according to the cooking instructions, and I poured my passion and love into them... Just to make the bread, I spent an hour kneading the dough. How could you call those a dark cuisine?" "Okay, fine. I see your sincerity, but it's a fact that you don't have a talent for making good food. This is your shortcoming, and you have to make up for it quickly. Otherwise, I'll have to choose someone else... I must find someone wh
'Argh! Every path I see ends in a roadblock! On the surface, it looks like there are many ways to Rome, but in reality, they're all blocked!"Renee repeatedly sighed, almost driven mad by the problem."Mommy, are you unhappy?" Aiden asked worriedly after pushing the door open to see Renee sighing."No. I'm very happy. I'm a winner in life with you and Abby by my side. Why would I not be happy?""Mommy, stop lying to me. You're clearly forcing your smile, and you blink a lot when you lie. I'm not a three-year-old anymore. I'm almost five, you know? Can you please stop insulting my intelligence?""Uh, well..."Like a thief caught in the act, Renee's smile froze on her face. After all, with Aiden's intelligence, her poor acting skills were a joke that would be easily exposed. So, she stopped pretending and was honest with Aiden."Adie, I've encountered a problem recently and need a little money. We may have to sell Sun Island temporarily to solve this problem. Are you and Abby ok
"What happened? Calm down and tell me," Renee said. Her brows furrowed deeply as she helped Leia, who was trembling in exhaustion, up."My brother... My brother is in trouble!" Leia exclaimed, her pretty face now as pale as a ghost. She took a deep breath before stammering, "Earlier, he went to get a loan at the bank to solve Azure Group's financial issues. He used his shares in Osborne Enterprise as collateral. Initially, everything was fine. He simply needed to repay the money on time. But somehow, my father got wind of it..."Renee's grip on Leia's arm tightened as a foreboding feeling of dread overcame her. "What happened?""You know how my father is. When he's angry, he doesn't care about anything. You know how we Osbornes started our business in the grayer parts of the industry, don't you? He's using his old ways to punish Liam! M-my father will beat him to death at this rate!" Leia gushed out everything and burst into tears.She looked helpless as she begged Renee, "Ren, p
"Dear, stop beating him! If you continue, you'll kill our son...!" Hayden cried as she held Liam in her arms. Tears flowed down her face as she begged, "Liam is your only son! You have a huge business! If you kill him, who will inherit it?""Mom, I don't like that you said that!"Laura, the third daughter of the Osborne family, sneered, "You make it sound like we're not part of the family! What? Did you pick us up from the roadside? Even if Liam is no more, it's not like the Osborne name will go extinct! What century are we in? Why do you still prefer sons over daughters?""That's right!" Geronimo exclaimed. "Liam is not my only descendent! If I beat this loser to death, I still have six daughters! Every single one of them brings me less heartache than this loser, especially Laura! The family business I handed her has flourished these years, and I'd be at ease if I handed them all the business!"Laura smirked, then said to Liam, who was kneeling in the middle of the room, "When you
"Oh? Did the sun rise from the west today? The redhead whose shoes my son has been licking has finally decided to show up?" Geronimo hissed venomously as he studied Renee from head to toe as though he was looking at a commodity.Then, he sneered, "Are you really willing to pay any price to save this loser?"Renee nodded, her eyes determined. "I've never gone against my words.""Good. At least you still have some conscience."There was a complicated look in Geronimo's eyes when he looked at Renee, and it was unclear if it was appreciation or contempt. Then, he said in a vague tone, "You have quite a devastatingly beautiful face, I must say, to be able to charm my son to this extent..."Liam, who was still kneeling on the ground, furrowed his brows when he heard that. "Boss, just ignore me and leave!" he pleaded emotionally. "I'm my father's favored child! No matter how angry he is, he won't kill me. But if you fall into his hands, I don't dare to imagine what kind of sick things he
