Chapter 171

Landon became busy as he fully took over Stirling Group.From the very beginning, Anthony’s family of three had not wanted to contribute anything to the running of the company. However, when their interests were at stake, Leopold was not gentle with them. When Landon managed the company, Anthony and his family benefited from the dividends. However, due to recent events, Anthony and his family lost all their shares in the company, thus forfeiting any rights they had to the dividends declared. They were now living off their savings, clinging tightly to Leopold.Landon had no interest in their various entanglements. He knew that they could not cause much trouble for him. Leopold’s own dividends were also significantly reduced. Landon felt that if Leopold wanted to share his earnings with Anthony, that was up to him. Landon did not care about their distribution issues. He had no intention of returning to Leopold's house. As for how the public viewed his power grab, Landon fel

"We’re still adjusting I suppose." Emma was laying the groundwork for their eventual divorce when the contracted marriage expired. She did not want Liz to be caught off-guard when she and Landon eventually parted ways. Though she would likely not see much of Liz in the future, they had each other’s contact information and Emma would need a plausible explanation for her separation. She could not cut Liz out of her life without a good reason."Honestly, I think Mr. Stirling really loves you," Liz said as she winked and playfully nudged Emma.Emma was genuinely shocked. "How can you tell?"Her marriage to Landon was just a contractual agreement and nothing more. To put it bluntly, Landon had hired her to play a role and love had nothing to do with it.Admittedly, Landon was a good person, on top of being an attentive and considerate partner. However, Emma felt they belonged to vastly different worlds and could never be together. She did not even dare to dream of such a thing

"Well..." Emma pondered the question. After serious consideration, she said, "Because it doesn't provide me with a sense of security."With a clerical job, anyone can replace me over time. Plus, I want to earn more money. Having money in hand gives me that sense of security. Anything can happen."She could not bear the thought of living off her savings without a job to sustain Asher and herself. The money she earned was not enough to support both of them, which made her uneasy so she had always aimed to earn more.Despite the allowance Landon provided her with, it was only for the duration of their agreement and when that was over, she knew that the money would stop.With Asher attending a prestigious private kindergarten and with the million dollars Landon had given her, she wanted to start something to earn more money. That way, she could ensure a secure future for Asher.It was not that public schools were bad, but she believed that providing a solid foundation and exposing A

She did not want to touch her savings. If her entrepreneurial venture failed, she needed to have a fallback."But selling bread and cakes is different," Emma listed the advantages of her plan. "As long as the décor is fresh and appealing to young people, and we use high-quality ingredients with unique features not found in other bakeries, it should work."She paused and looked at Landon. "What do you think of my idea?"Landon smiled and nodded. "It’s an excellent idea. You shouldn’t underestimate yourself."Emma smiled. She had been thinking about it for a long time, but she still felt some anxiety about whether it would succeed. She was prepared for the worst but wanted to give it a shot.The more effort she put in, the better the environment she could create for Asher. If she succeeded, Asher would have more options and the freedom to choose what he wanted."I’ll have my team gather everything you need then send it to you. If nothing suitable comes up, I’ll have them search fur

Emma was uneasy about taking advantage of the situation. It weighed heavily on her conscience."In a marriage, it’s not about who spends more money or contributes more financially," Brett said wisely. "Emotional value is important too."Emma blinked in confusion. She did not think she offered any emotional value to Landon, especially since they were not a real couple."I need this to work. At least..." Emma trailed off, unsure of how to continue.She could never achieve the level of success that Landon had. Then a thought struck her. Why was she comparing herself to Landon? Or more precisely, why did she want to improve herself to close the gap between them?They were from completely different worlds. Could it be... that she had feelings for Landon?It was true—Landon was handsome, capable, and so gentle. ‘Oh no!’ Emma thought as her heart raced in fear. She could not afford to entertain such thoughts."Emma?" Brett noticed Emma’s sudden change in expression and lightl

"Isn’t all that just the basic thinking for starting a business?" Calvin asked again, puzzled.Landon shook his head in disagreement. "We were raised to think that way so it comes naturally to us. But Emma has never been exposed to this before. The fact that she thought of it on her own is remarkable."Calvin looked at Landon with growing concern as he noted the admiration on Landon's face.His marriage to Emma was just one of convenience was it not? Yet why did it seem like it was turning into something more?Calvin was not so foolish as to ask Landon outright if he had feelings for Emma. If it turned out that Landon did not, it could potentially stir up unnecessary trouble."Emma is intriguing. She comes from a blue-collar family does she not?" Calvin said casually while subtly reminding Landon of Emma’s background.Emma's background was so different from Landon’s. The gap was vast!Landon nodded. "Yes. So, you see, for Emma to come up with these ideas on her own... I truly ha

Landon nodded thoughtfully. “You do make a good point,” he conceded. He did not dismiss Calvin’s words outright, but he felt a slight unease lingering in his mind. As he watched Landon, Calvin recognized that his words had hit the mark. He quickly shifted the topic, hoping to divert Landon’s attention. “By the way, I noticed an issue with the data in the last contract…”“Hmm? Where?” Landon asked, immediately redirecting his attention to the matter at hand.After completing his tasks, Landon found that he had some time to spare in the afternoon. He decided to check on Emma. “I’ve wrapped up work earlier than expected. How about you?“Still out? Okay, I’ll pick you up and we can get Ash together. Just send me your location.” Landon noted down the address and walked towards the elevator while still on the phone.In his preoccupation with the call, Landon failed to notice that Calvin’s office door was open. Calvin overheard the entire conversation and was struck by a mix of as

Chapter 178

Her mother’s constant criticism had shaped her to be a people-pleaser. Emma had grown accustomed to giving, believing it was the only way to feel at ease. Leaning back in her seat, Emma sighed deeply. "I am a bit of a people pleaser," she admitted."I’ve been trying to get a hang of it," she continued. Growing up, she had always been berated by her mother, who frequently lamented her own struggles. Emma had become accustomed to burying her needs to make her mother happy. Over the years it had made her feel unworthy of receiving anything in return."You've helped me a lot. You don’t need to feel embarrassed about getting help from me," Landon countered."You should trust that I’m a businessman and wouldn’t bother with a sinking ship," he joked.Emma nodded, offering a complex smile. "I’ll do my best."She then turned her gaze to the window. Landon sensed a shift in her mood, so he chose to remain silent, allowing her time to process her thoughts.In reality, Emma’s turmo

Landon was astonished as he listened to her talk. He had never encountered anyone like her before. The feeling was simply wonderful. There was no need for misunderstandings or pretense at home. He remembered how his father would come home from work, exhausted, but would always put on a brave face to avoid worrying his grandfather. He realized now that it was okay for him to express unhappiness at home and not have to pretend otherwise.Leaning against the kitchen door, Landon watched as Emma busied herself preparing dinner. He took a deep breath as the enticing aroma wafted through the air. He had tasted countless fine cuisine prepared by renowned chefs, but none had ever smelled as comforting as Emma’s cooking.When Emma finished, she set the dishes aside and Landon immediately moved to help. "I'll take it," he offered."Okay," Emma replied, accustomed to Landon's help in the kitchen. "Be careful, it’s hot."With a smile, Landon took the dishes. Sometimes it seemed l

“Everyone has their strengths and learns things at different times,” Emma said with a smile. “He learned basketball first, and since you’ve not learned it yet, it’s perfectly fine that you don’t know how to play.”“Yeah,” Asher nodded vigorously, feeling much better with Emma’s reassurance. “I don’t like him, Mommy.”“If you don’t like him, then you don’t have to be friends with him,” Emma said, gently patting Asher’s head. “Friends should make each other happy, not be mean to each other.”“He came and laughed at me for not knowing how to play basketball,” Asher said, clearly upset. “I told him, but he didn’t understand.”Landon chuckled. At just four years old, Asher's classmates were still quite young. It was normal for kids to be competitive. However, that boy, Dennis, did sound rather annoying. Whose child was that? Did his parents not teach him any manners?Landon considered calling the kindergarten principal later.“Well, you don’t need to explain things to him,” Emma said
