Did they want to trick her into a quiet place and spew their nonsense? Well, she had no interest in that! Emma stared coldly into Connor's eyes and spoke, "When you saw Landon fall from grace, you quickly severed ties with him. Now that he has taken over the company, you want to exploit your connection to him for your benefit."How on Earth do you think you have a right to that?" Emma sneered. "You want rewards without effort? Dream on!"Connor's face instantly darkened, while Mary pointed at Emma and yelled, "You're just a worthless woman with a bastard child, clinging to my nephew for money, aren't you?” Mary’s shouting drew the attention of nearby passersby, who turned their heads out of curiosity. She looked at Emma with smug satisfaction when she noticed the crowd’s reaction.‘Go on, Emma! Keep cursing at us! You’re the one who’ll be humiliated!’ Mary thought to herself.Mary felt that having a bastard child was Emma's biggest weakness!To Mary's surprise, Emma suddenly b

"What are you grinning about?" Landon asked curiously as he watched Emma. She had been smiling since she walked through the door.She had not laughed out loud, but the corners of her mouth had been twitching the entire time. She looked adorably silly, like a little kitten who had just enjoyed a delicious treat."Seeing you two handsome guys makes me happy!" Emma beamed. "I’m really lucky to have such eye candy."Asher had understood what Emma had said"Mommy is pretty!" he immediately replied.Landon had shut his mouth at Asher’s words.Great. Asher beat him to it.‘Couldn’t you have left that to me, little guy?’ Landon thought.Emma was Asher’s mom, but she had not fully accepted Landon as her husband in her heart yet so should not such a good chance to impress her be his?However, he was not going to give up so easily!He shifted his gaze to the items in Emma’s hands. "Did the shop develop new products again?""No," Emma said with a smile. "I brought these cakes back for

"I can only tell you this: as his grandfather, I can't control Landon, but... Emma has always been afraid of her mother," Leopold said, revealing a key piece of information to Connor.Connor looked at Leopold in confusion.Leopold smiled. "Ever since Emma got married, she hasn't kept in touch with her mother."In the past, Emma's mother often put her down for having a child out of wedlock," Leopold explained. He had not been idle during his time away from the company and had gathered a lot of information on Emma."They come from a working-class family, and their financial situation isn't great. Yet, they never troubled Landon for money."It all fell into place for Connor. He sneered with disdain, "Emma climbed up the social ladder and abandoned her parents? How ungrateful of her!""Indeed," Leopold sighed. "Emma doesn't acknowledge her parents, and Landon doesn't acknowledge his grandfather. They’re a perfect match if you think about it.""How can you tolerate this?" Connor

"How is that our problem?" Mary retorted. "It was Leopold who was unreasonable when he failed to manage Anthony. We were just preparing in advance to avoid being sabotaged by the Stirling family. What's wrong with that?""Landon should have understood our position," Mary continued to fume. "If the Stirlings had really abandoned him wouldn’t we have helped him?""Do we have to wait until our family is dragged down and left with nothing before we’re satisfied? Landon doesn’t understand, does he?" Mary said, her face contorted with frustration. "Whether he understands or not is his own business. This time, he must handle our affairs," Connor asserted firmly."Yes," Mary agreed.Connor began investigating Emma’s background, but Emma had no idea about what was unfolding. She was simply enjoying her recent happiness. Everything, from her career to her family, was going remarkably well. With the busy store, a cute child at home, and a considerate husband, Emma was experiencing for the

Phoebe’s words made the customers smile. Indeed, the store had always been involved in charity. A store that engaged in charitable work and had such a conscientious owner could not possibly mistreat her parents.Barbara had not anticipated that the manager’s words would shift the gaze of those around her. She sighed heavily and choked up, “Then... please tell her... that Mom and Dad miss her a lot…”Barbara left in a hurry, without even taking the cake Phoebe offered. Her eyes were red as she walked briskly out of the store.Phoebe struggled to maintain her smile, but on the inside, she cursed Barbara. It was so typical of someone to make it seem like Emma had done something wrong.Phoebe kept her face neutral despite her inner turmoil. She casually made her way to a corner of the store where no customers could see and quickly pulled out her phone to call Emma.Emma had just changed her clothes and was sitting down at the dining table. When she saw the call from Phoebe, sh

Landon nodded. “When the owner of a company is alienated from everyone, how can the company’s products be trusted?“For the sake of the company’s reputation, Stirling Group should probably consider replacing its leader,” Landon said calmly despite the situation. He knew without a doubt that it was the work of his relatives.Emma bit her lip in frustration. “That foolish woman!”Who were they when compared to the Stirlings? People like herself had no business meddling in such conflicts. Frankly, they were not even worth her time.“I’ll go with you tomorrow,” Landon offered.Emma looked at Landon. “I’m sorry to trouble you.”Landon smiled. “You’re still apologizing? It’s my fault for involving you.”Emma saw Landon’s smile and pressed her lips together. “If they don’t consider us family, then we shouldn’t consider them as family either.”“It’s best to love oneself.”Emma spoke with utmost seriousness. She used to feel immense sympathy for her mother. Knowing that her father wa

Emma felt immensely relieved as she walked outside. She was grateful for her rationality, which prevented her from letting her emotions run wild. She understood her position and knew that some feelings, while intense, were not meant to be acted upon.When Emma returned to the dining table, Asher looked up at her in confusion. “Mommy, aren’t you going out?”“Not anymore,” Emma replied with a smile. “Daddy solved the problem, so I don’t need to go anymore.”Asher’s eyes widened in delight as he turned to look at Landon. “You’re amazing, Daddy!”Landon chuckled and ruffled Asher’s hair. “Because Dad worked hard at eating his meals and studying when he was young, he’s able to do great things now.”He glanced at Emma, proud of his new approach to teaching Asher, hoping for her approval.Emma was taken aback. Was Landon seeking praise from her? How could someone as accomplished as Landon want her approval?Landon’s smile deepened at Emma’s astonished reaction.Unaware of the exch

Landon smiled. He picked up a piece of egg with his fork and gently raised it to Emma's mouth. “Eat this while Asher is still asleep.”Emma was momentarily stunned and felt tears welling up in her eyes. She had seen scenes like that on TV—parents cooking in the kitchen while their children ran up to them. The parent would lovingly scoop out a special treat from the pot, quickly cool it, and quietly place it in the child's mouth. They would share a knowing smile, savoring their private moment together.Emma had always envied that natural, intimate bond and the effortless affection the couple shared. She had never experienced it herself until she became a mother. She then found herself unexpectedly immersed in that very feeling.Overcome with emotion, she did not think twice about the formality of the situation. Without hesitation, she took a bite of the egg. The taste was incredibly delightful, more than she could have imagined. The sense of happiness she felt enveloped her com

When Emma arrived at her parents' house, she immediately heard Barbara’s biting remark, “Oh, isn’t this my wealthy daughter?”Emma did not want to bandy words with Barbara and got straight to the point, “What did they offer you to make you come here and cause trouble for me?”Barbara’s eyes widened in outrage. “What nonsense are you talking about?“You don’t visit all year, and now you come back here to make unfounded accusations?” Barbara said indignantly. “How did I end up raising such an ungrateful child?”Emma knew Barbara’s nature all too well. Even if Barbara denied it, Emma would not believe her. “Your denial is pointless.“I’m just warning you. Do you really think they’re giving you benefits out of the kindness of their hearts?” Emma’s voice was cold. “They may be throwing out my husband and me today, but they can just as easily do the same to you tomorrow. Crushing you would take nothing more than a snap of the fingers.“You’d have given up everything for empty promi

“Go ask a lawyer,” Barbara said confidently. “Your husband is rich, isn’t he? His company must have lawyers. Go check if you can get out of supporting me.”Emma had long been accustomed to Barbara’s way of speaking. Just as her mother understood her, she understood her mother equally well.“Extortion and blackmail carry criminal charges, you know. So when you’re in prison, even if I wanted to support you, I wouldn’t be able to!” Emma’s words pierced Barbara deeply. She stared at Emma in disbelief.Barbara had never expected Emma to speak to her that way. “Have you gone mad?” Barbara asked.“It’s you who’s mad!” Emma coldly stared at Barbara. “I’m warning you to stay out of this matter, or you’ll face consequences you can’t handle!” Emma’s voice was icy.“What consequences?” Barbara roared. “They’ve offered me two million dollars. What have you given me? You’ve been more trouble than cattle. At least cattle can be slaughtered for meat at the end of the year. What good have yo
