"I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for you!" Barbara shouted at the top of her lungs."I didn’t get divorced because I didn’t want you to grow up in a single-parent household. Isn't it better to have a complete family?" Barbara demanded angrily."I've always said I don't mind!" Emma raised her voice, years of accumulated grievances spilling out of her. "No one wants this constant bickering! If that’s what it means to have a complete family then I don’t want it!"Emma did not want to live in such a stressful environment.Was she the one responsible for her mother's unhappiness?Why was she to blame?The pressure was like shackles, weighing her down until she could not breathe.She had lived that way all her life."I’m sure that even if I got a divorce, you’d still find something to complain about!" Barbara said."You're just impossible to please. All my efforts for you have been in vain."Emma's eyes reddened with anger at Barbara’s words. Why did her mother always make

"Your son still has a mortgage to pay off. He loves spending his money, and whenever he needs cash, he has always turned to you. Expenses for his child often fall on you as well," Landon stated slowly as he laid out the facts."If they both lost their jobs, could your pension support them?" Landon asked, his tone calm and steady. "Moreover, your son lacks any ambition or special skills; he is exceptionally lazy. Perhaps he would someday become motivated enough for you to rely on him. Though if that ever happened, you would not be subject to my threats."Landon’s words hit Bronson's weak spot, leaving him no room to retaliate."Who do you think you are? Do you think you can talk to us that way just because you have a bit of power?" Barbara could not stand seeing her brother being pushed around like that."Yes," Landon nodded slowly. "That is precisely so."He pulled Emma to her feet and said to Bronson, "From now on, if you bother Emma again, your son and daughter-in-law will los

"That way, they'll know not to bother you anymore." Landon put his phone away and turned to Emma with a smile."To solve problems, you have to strike at the root. If it hurts, they'll learn what they should and shouldn't do." Landon finished as he looked at Emma.He was curious about her reaction. He felt that she was usually too soft-hearted so she might find his methods harsh. They still had months of living together ahead of them, so he did not want to keep pretending with her. Emma sighed lightly. "I need to work hard, and I need to make sure Ash does too."Landon did not quite understand. "What do you mean?""If I work hard, I can solve all my problems and avoid doing things I don't want to do," Emma said with a bright smile."I know my mom cares more for herself and her brother, and I don't have the power to make my uncle's son lose his job just like that," Emma sighed."If I had that ability earlier, I would have been free long ago," she said regretfully as she shook h

She picked her phone up, glanced at the display strangely, and then turned to Landon. "It's my uncle calling.""Go ahead," Landon casually replied.Before he could offer any advice, Emma had already answered the call without hesitation.Landon raised an eyebrow slightly. Was she really that obedient?He smiled at the thought."What’s going on, Uncle?" Emma asked as she answered the phone.On the other end, Bronson quickly assured her, "Don't worry. I've talked to your mom. You are a married woman now so you are no longer her responsibility. From now on, she won't bother you anymore."Just focus on living your life. Your parents are fine, don't worry about them."If anything urgent comes up, I'll call you. Otherwise, you won’t hear much from me."Oh, and if you're too busy during Christmas, you don't have to come visit. After all, managing a household isn't easy."Emma was stunned at Bronson’s change in tone. Was the ‘Landon effect’ so quick and effective?She turned her shoc

Everyone looked over at the source of the commotion. The man who had just shouted looked embarrassed and smiled apologetically. Then, he looked around and lowered his voice to the woman with him. "Let's buy a bigger house so my parents can move in. Then, we can have dinner ready when we get off work. You won't have to do any housework, my parents will take care of everything." He sat down and continued in a hushed tone.The woman pursed her lips and remained silent.The man softened his tone at her reaction and whispered, "Don't be angry. I was just upset earlier.""If you don't want to marry me, then don't!" The woman glared fiercely at him as her eyes filled with tears. "It's not like I have no other options.""Okay, okay..." The man whispered apologetically. It seemed the woman was not unwilling to forgive him but she had been hurt by what he had said earlier.Liz Taylor who had been attending to the couple had already discreetly moved away to give them some space."Well

Emma knew that if she said yes, the commission would belong to her instead. She laughed. "Nah, it’s not my client. It wouldn’t be right for me to swoop in after all the hard work you’ve do—."Liz suddenly hugged her before she could finish her sentence, excitement evident in her voice. "You're amazing. And such a good friend!""Alright, calm down and go see your clients," Emma chuckled, giving Liz a gentle push.Liz bounced away energetically.Emma envied her youthful vigor. She had always been criticized by her mother for being dull and lifeless. She wished she could be as lively as Liz, but every time she tried, she was chastised for being frivolous. Over time, she became the person she was now.Fortunately, she had completely cut ties with that side of her family. She would never have to deal with emotional suppression and moral blackmail.Emma silently thanked Landon for what he had done. He was truly her savior.Liz spent half an hour communicating with her clients and ha

"That’s…nice. Do I seem that old?" Emma asked with a half smile.Liz hugged Emma's arm and cooed, "Oh, I meant your words are so wise, just like my grandpa's.""Still feels weird to hear," Emma said weakly."Okay, okay, let me treat you to dinner then. That should make it less weird," Liz insisted as she gently shook Emma’s arm.“You don't have to," Emma said."Aw, come on! You won't even have dinner with me?" Liz pouted, pretending to be upset. "My grandpa is really, really amazing. I think you're like him because you're amazing too."Emma could not help but laugh at her childish antics. "Why would I be mad?""Then will you have dinner with me?" Liz persisted, still pouting.Despite being about the same age as Emma, Liz exuded a youthful charm that made such gestures appear so natural on her. It was also rather adorable.Emma chuckled. "I can’t tonight though because I’ve already made plans with my husband to take our son out after work.""Oh... so you have a handsome date t

Landon chuckled and touched his face. "You’ve only just noticed?" he asked as he winked at Emma.Landon had always been self-assured about his appearance. Even back in school when no one knew who he was, he had received quite a few love letters.Emma giggled at his confidence. "You're handsome, very handsome indeed. But the way you got out of the car just now... it was like a scene from a movie."Landon laughed. "Well, thank you. But you should get in the car or we'll be late picking up Asher.""Oh!" Emma snapped out of her reverie at the mention of their son. She quickly got into the car. "Let's go get Asher."Amused, Landon closed her door and got back into the driver's seat. He fastened his seatbelt and drove to the kindergarten to pick up Asher.Asher was hungry for hot pot.Landon was quick to take up the suggestion.Emma handed the menu to Landon and boldly declared, "Order whatever you like, my treat tonight."Taking the menu, Landon chuckled. "Then I won't hold back."

Emma, Landon, and Asher were happily enjoying their hotpot. Meanwhile, Liz sat in her car, listening to her mother, Meg Taylor. "When you get home, make sure to spend some time with your grandpa."He dotes on you, so make him happy," Meg emphasized."What's going on with Grandpa?" Liz asked curiously."It's all about the company," Meg sighed helplessly."Huh?" Liz was puzzled. "Isn't the company doing well?""Well? Your grandpa has taken over from Leto," Meg said irritably. Before becoming a full-time housewife, Meg had also worked at the company and knew its situation well."What?" Liz was shocked. "Grandpa is running the company? But hasn’t Landon Stirling been in charge all this time?""Your grandpa refused to let go of Leto, which angered Landon, so he simply walked away," Meg said grimly.Liz gasped, "So, what about the company?""Your grandpa is running it now.”"No wonder Grandpa was upset," Liz said.What happened to Leto?Liz knew the Stirlings well. Grandpa an

"It’s not even a question of favoritism anymore. There really shouldn't be a need to choose.“With Landon, those shareholders can smoothly receive dividends every year. On the other hand, choose Leto... don't even talk about dividends, the company could be driven to bankruptcy.""I just found out that Landon got married recently," said Kane."What? Landon got married?" exclaimed Cyril and Meg in unison.Liz just blinked in surprise.So the car she saw parked outside her workplace had not been her imagination.Landon had picked up Emma."Yes, I heard he married a woman with a child," Kane said coldly. "So he could legally take over the company."Cyril and Meg exchanged shocked glances."Who told you this, Dad?" asked Cyril.Kane snorted, "Who else? Leto of course."A look of disdain came over Kane’s features at the mention of the name. "Grandpa, is Leopold planning to use this banquet to target Landon?" Liz asked."Of course. It’s the perfect opportunity, isn't it?" Kane snorted
