"Is that so? I'm not very sure about that. The butler was the one who hired her grandmother. Back then, one of the helpers in the kitchen had quit, and we were lacking staff, so the butler hired her. The butler told me that although her grandmother was a little older, she worked fast, and she could endure hardship so he hired her to try her out," Mr. Woods said.

"So, you don't know anything about their background."

"She was only a helper in the kitchen. I don't need to buy insurance for her anyway…" Mr. Woods said distractedly.

"Weren't you afraid that she has problems?" Lucas deliberately tried to scare Mr. Woods.

Mr. Woods' expression turned serious. "Lucas, what problems could they have? Don't scare me. I really don't know anything about them. Irene's grandmother spent most of her time in the kitchen, and I usually don't interact with her. If it were not for your stepmother who insisted on getting Irene to care for you, I wouldn't have interacted with Irene too…"

    Avery immediately replied to Layla, [You don't like Andrew?][It's not that I don't like him. He is quite nice. He treats me well, too. He is attentive to how I feel, but I don't like him that way. I look at him, and I always seem to feel like I'm looking at yet another younger brother. After all, Robert treats me that well too.][Then you select another one from the email. Find someone older than you to chat with.][… Let's take it slowly! If I look at too many men, I'll just lose interest in them.][Hahaha! If your father sees this, I'm sure he will be so frightened that he will break out in cold sweat.][All this while, with the amount of worrying Dad has done, I'm sure it will add up to 24 years.][Don't feel pressured. Parents are like this. You have to act on your feelings. Don't worry about making the wrong decision. You can afford to try.][Mom, I really love you. I still feel like a young child, and it is because all of you have been spoiling me.][You'll always be our

    Irene lowered her head and said softly, "Three thousand dollars.""Oh, that's a small sum! You should have told me about it earlier. I would have helped you with that." Mr. Woods pretended to be generous. "It's also okay if Sam helps you. Since you want to resign, I'll settle your pay tomorrow.""Thank you, Mr. Woods.""Don't mention it. I will give you a little more money. This would have been your grandmother's pension for all the years of service. You can use it to pay your school fees," Mr. Woods said.Irene was extremely grateful. She immediately thanked him, "Thank you! I thank you on Grandma's behalf!""Thank you for taking care of Lucas these past few months," Mr. Woods said. "It's late. Go home!""Okay! I'll clean the kitchen and leave." Irene cleared the plates from the dining table.Mr. Woods walked to Lucas' room. Lucas did not lock his room. Mr. Woods turned the doorknob, pushed the door, and entered.When Irene had finished tidying up and was about to leave, Mr. W

    "That's fine, too. Just stay in Taronia and settle down here," Irene's teacher said with a smile.Irene smiled, too."When I get back, I'll send all the exam answers to you. You can judge them for yourself," said Irene's teacher. It would be great if you could get into Turlington University!""Irene, did you get into Turlington University?" asked a curious student, who had heard the conversation between Irene and her teacher. Irene shook her head. "The results are not out yet. I don't know either.""Irene's mock exam results were quite good." Irene's teacher praised her."Miss, the mock exam was much easier than the exam this time. I didn't know quite a lot of math questions," said another student. "Irene, did you do all the math questions?"Irene shook her head. "I did, but they might not be correct.""Irene, you're amazing. You even quit school…" "Irene did not quit school. She was homeschooled," Irene's teacher said, standing up for Irene. "She had it tough. Even if yo

    "There are still many good people in this world! Irene, when you get into Turlington University, you have to maintain your good hardworking attitude. If you want to have any achievements, you have to work much harder than others. Only you can get yourself there," Irene's teacher said."I understand, Miss."After the call, Irene went to the bathroom to wash up.She looked at herself in the mirror. She took a deep breath and decided that she would start her brand new life today.As long as there were no accidents, she should be able to get into Turlington University.After working hard for so long, she finally had some good results. She was extremely excited and elated.She carefully peeled the scar off her face. She looked at her true self in the mirror. She tried to smile at herself. The future would only get better.In Aryadelle, summer break was approaching.In Elliot's mansion, everyone started discussing where Robert should work during the summer.Initially, no one had b

    Robert did not know what to say because his sister was right."Layla, there's no hurry. Take it slow," Elliot said. "Fate works in the strangest ways. You won't find what you want if you look for it. Participate in more events, and who knows, maybe you will find someone who is meant to be in your life.""Dad, I thought you didn't want me to come home too late. Everyone needs to work during the day, and most social events take place at night…" Layla chuckled.Avery, too, could not help but giggle. "Your dad lives in his own bubble. He didn't have to put much effort into getting himself a wife, so he thinks it's that easy for everyone.""I can tell," Layla said. "Can I come home before nine from now on, then?""As long as you take your bodyguard with you, yes," Avery said before Elliot had the chance to say anything."I'm going out tonight, then. I will be home late," Layla chirped. "I want to go to the night market. Robert, come with me!""Sis, if you are going there to look for

    If she did not need to work, her parents would have taken her to Bridgedale.It had been a year since Layla had started working at Tate Industries. Time had flown by.It had been a year of growth for her.Her parents had begun to stay out of her personal and work life. Though she struggled to adjust, she knew that it was a necessary burden if she wanted to grow as a person.That night she returned home after a long day at the office. She thought that silence would be the only one there to greet her, but when she got home Kiara and Rose were there. Shea had brought them over."Layla, your parents haven't arrived at Bridgedale, right? I didn't want you to feel bored alone at home, so I brought Kiara and Rose here," Shea said with a smile."You are the best, Aunt Shea! Mom and Dad took Robert with them to Bridgedale, and I was kind of upset about it this morning, but I feel so much better to see you guys here."Layla patted Kiara on the head before doing the same to Rose."What ar

    At eight in the morning, Irene arrived at the Hightide Church.She did not remember much about the church as she had been young when she left the church. She only remembered a few details about the dorm she had lived in. However, she felt something for the church.She never had a home, but the church felt like the closest thing she had to home. When she arrived the church had just opened, and she approached a member of the staff who was on duty. "Is Sister Arya here?"The staff was shocked for a moment before nodding. "Do you have an appointment?"Irene shook her head. "No. There's a dormitory behind the church with a lot of kids, and I used to live there when I was little.""What’s your name? Your name when you lived here.""Irene.""Sure. Hang on a minute." The staff turned and hurried toward the backyard.Irene intended to wait there, but she could not help but follow the person she had spoken to, who was now heading toward the backyard.Shortly after, Sister Arya came ou

    Rose immediately darted off toward the backyard.Kiara was about to catch up with her sister when Rose skipped ahead of her again. "Mom! Hurry! Rose is running off!" Kiara yelled toward Shea.Shea was more tepid by nature, and Kiara was just like her."Let's just sit and rest in the dormitory. Your sister will find us later," Shea said gently."No! We need to catch up with Rose. I want to see what her best friend looks like," Kiara said before dragging her mother toward the backyard.Meanwhile, Irene and Sister Arya had been chatting in the backyard for half an hour when Sister Arya suddenly remembered something."Rose called me last night and said that she is coming to visit today. If you don't want to see her, I won't keep you here for lunch," she said.Irene paused and panicked at the coincidence.After a brief moment of consideration, she decided to leave. She had accomplished what she had come here for and had no regrets. Just as she bid farewell to Sister Arya, she hear

    Three years later…Ivy and Robert stood at the airport in Aryadelle, anxiously waiting."It's been three years! Your boyfriend is finally here to see you!" Robert exclaimed before shifting the conversation. "He's not here to break up with you, is he? After all, you haven't seen each other in three years. A lot can change."Ivy sighed, "Robert, can you not jinx it? Although we haven't met in three years, we talk on the phone and video call every day!"Robert quipped, "Digital romance.""Anyway, he promised me that he's going to settle down in Aryadelle this time, and we won't be apart again," Ivy said. Robert smirked. "He's got a strong sense of pride. When he meets Dad later, they might not hit it off, and he'll buy a ticket to leave tonight!"Feeling helpless, Ivy was at a loss for words. Just then, a familiar voice called out, "Ivy!"Ivy immediately looked over to the source of the voice and saw Lucas stepping out of the exit, dragging his suitcase behind him. A smile sp

    Mr. Woods did not expect Hayden to be so direct, and he found himself momentarily caught off guard. He had come to ask Hayden for money, but he had not thought about exactly how much he wanted. After all, Hayden's family was extremely wealthy, and he did not want to ask for too little and feel shortchanged, nor did he want to risk asking for too much and having Hayden refuse. It was a tough decision. After a brief internal struggle, Mr. Woods turned to Hayden and said, "I know your family is one of the wealthiest in Aryadelle, so why don't you name the price? I trust you won't mistreat my son and our family." Hayden furrowed his brows slightly. Shelly, noticing his hesitation, quickly chimed in, "Uncle, why don't you make an offer? We're not very familiar with this process. If you insist on us naming a price, we might need to consult my father-in-law." "Elliot Foster, you mean?" Mr. Woods asked. Shelly nodded. "Yes. My father-in-law isn't as easygoing as my husband. After a

    "All right. Let's find a place nearby to sit and talk." Mr. Woods breathed a sigh of relief. "Good! Our house is actually nearby. Would you like to visit? Ivy has been with us for many years, and our staff has a close relationship with her." Hayden glanced at Shelly and asked, "Should we go?" "Sure!" Shelly said. Mr. Woods immediately invited Hayden and Shelly into his car and drove them to the Woods' mansion. Upon arriving, Mr. Woods instructed the servants to serve tea and refreshments. He pointed to the butler and said to Hayden, "This is our butler. He hired Ivy's grandmother." Hayden nodded. Mr. Woods then introduced Hayden: "This is Irene's older brother, the renowned businessman Mr. Hayden Tate." "Hello, Mr. Tate. Irene was a wonderful young lady," the butler said. "We all liked her very much. When we heard of her passing, we were truly saddened. Fortunately, she didn't actually pass away! Ivy is a very sensible and resilient girl, one of the strongest I've eve

    Ivy's eyes were red as she said, "Hayden, Lucas' mother has passed away, so I won't be able to spend time with you for a few days." "It's okay. Given what has happened, we're not in the mood for fun either. After we attend his mother's funeral, Shelly and I will return," Hayden said. Ivy nodded. "How are funerals handled here?" Hayden asked. Given Lucas' relationship with Ivy, his younger sister, he felt a sense of duty to help Lucas with the funeral arrangements. "It's similar to how it's done back at home. Wealthy people can have elaborate funerals, and those with less money can opt for simpler ceremonies. Those who can't afford much at all can forgo the ceremony and opt for a simple burial," Ivy said. "What if someone wants a more elaborate funeral?" "Hayden, do you want to help with his mother's funeral? He doesn't have any close relatives here, so there's no need for an elaborate ceremony," she explained. "I see. Go and talk to him about it. I'll help with whatever I

    Lucas hung up, tears welling in his eyes. Ivy stood by his side and asked, "What's wrong, Lucas?" "My mom has passed away. You should keep your brother company! I need to head back to the hospital." "I will come along! Aunty seemed fine just now, so why did she suddenly pass away?" The two hurried toward the car, completely forgetting about Hayden and Shelly. Hayden and Shelly watched as they left awkwardly, and Shelly said, "Honey, let's go to the hospital. I think Lucas' mother has passed away." "Sure." The two caught a taxi and hurried after Lucas. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lucas arrived to first encounter the doctor and then his father. Mr. Woods tried ingratiating himself with his son, saying, "Lucas, I came to the hospital to see your mother, but when I arrived, she had already passed away. What a shame!" "Are you sure she had already passed away before you came? I was here earlier today, and when I saw her, she was still alive!" Lucas said. Mr. Woods reto

    Mr. Woods sneered, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Although the Woods family has fallen on hard times, we're still a prominent family in Taronia! Lucas may be foolish, but are you any wiser? If it weren't for me backing Lucas, would the Fosters even look at him?" "Shut up! The Foster family isn't narrow-minded like you! Ivy's family doesn't dislike Lucas, so don't go causing trouble! They don't want to see you at all!" Lucas' mother retorted. Mr. Woods scoffed. "Is that so? Do you really think they don't look down on him? Why wouldn't they? Are they planning to make Lucas marry into their family instead of the other way round?" "It's none of your business! You never cared about Lucas, and now that he's independent, he doesn't need you anymore! You wouldn't have come to me repeatedly if Ivy wasn't Elliot Foster's daughter and if she wasn't interested in Lucas. Do you really think I have no idea what you are plotting?" Mr. Woods countered, "What nonsense are you ta

    Ivy did not hesitate, immediately shaking her head. "I'm not leaving. Don't worry about me; just focus on yourself." "Staying here is just a waste of time." "I've been studying and interning so hard for so long. What's wrong with taking a break now?" Ivy argued. Before long, Hayden and Shelly had finished their shopping, and Ivy and Lucas immediately joined them to go to the hospital. Lucas' mother had no idea that Ivy's brother and sister-in-law were coming to visit her, so she appeared a bit uncomfortable when they arrived. She tried to sit up, but her body failed her. Ivy raised the head of the hospital bed. "Aunty, my big brother and sister-in-law came over to Taronia for a visit. They wanted to see Lucas and you." "Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's a blessing for my son to know Ivy..." Lucas' mother muttered sheepishly. Shelly reassured, "Aunty, don't say that. Lucas is outstanding. Otherwise, Ivy wouldn't have fallen for him." Lucas' mother continued, "I've

    Throughout the meal, Ivy found it hard to enjoy her food. Lucas and Hayden discussed everything that mattered, and the conversation went smoother than anyone had anticipated. Hayden was not upset, nor was Lucas. It was a better scenario than what Ivy had hoped for, but she still felt depressed. "Lucas, my husband and I would like to pay your mother a visit. Would that be okay?" Shelly asked after finishing her food. "Sure," Lucas said. "Don't we need to ask your mom first?" Ivy asked. "It's fine. We can just head over right away and introduce them once we arrive." Lucas' mother grew weaker every day and had stopped using her phone altogether, so it was her nurse, whom Lucas had hired, who reported his mother's condition to him daily. "You restarted your business and have to take care of your mother simultaneously; you're really strong. Most people would crumble under the pressure," Shelly commented. "Ivy had a tougher life before. She didn't crumble, so I won't eith

    After what Ivy said, Lucas added, "I want to focus on my career for now. Marriage is secondary until I become more successful." Hayden sneered. "Running a business isn't as simple as it seems. What if you fail or never achieve anything out of the ordinary?" "If that happens, I won't drag Ivy down," Lucas said. "At least you know your place." Ivy felt as though her cheeks were on fire. "Hayden, even if Lucas fails, I won't give up on him. I won't let him go just because of his financial state." Shelly grabbed Hayden's hand again, signaling to him to control his temper; he could be rude to others, but he could not be so demanding with Ivy. Ivy sensed that she was slightly out of line, and her tone eased. "Hayden, we shouldn’t judge people based on their wealth. Our family is rich enough, and there really aren't that many people out there who can compare to our financial state, so why does it matter how wealthy my partner is?" "Ivy is right.
