Chapter 21

Landon casually placed the test report down and sneered. "Grandfather, why is such an absurd thing appearing before me? I believe you would be able to see that this is a sham. If you think I'm not qualified to control Stirling Group, there are other ways to remove me, instead of resorting to this absurd reason..."Landon's slender fingers pointed at the report on the coffee table. He chuckled to himself.He stood up, adjusted his suit, and prepared to leave.Leopold frowned. "Did you really marry a woman with a child?"Landon laughed and countered with a question of his own. "Grandfather, what does that have to do with anything? At least, I got married!"Leopold turned dark with anger. "Nonsense! This is a marriage! Do you think marriage is a joke? I wanted you to get married so you’d be happy!" Leopold slammed his cane forcefully on the ground. "Do you love this woman?""Love? Yes," Landon responded insincerely.Leopold's chest tightened with anger. "Get out! Leave!""Grandfa

Well, he should find a suitable girl for Landon as soon as possible. As for the one he had married recently, he felt that she was not worthy of his grandson.

He felt like he had been deceived by Emma these past few days. He did not expect her to be so reckless, going to nightclubs at this hour! Does she even remember that she was his wife?Emma, however, was unaware of what Landon was thinking. She smiled and raised her phone to show him.Landon curiously leaned in, and upon seeing the screen, he froze. "A baby monitor?"The footage showed Asher peacefully sleeping in the suite."I keep an eye on him while delivering meals. If anything happens, I can come back immediately. I also wear a helmet during deliveries. Even if someone saw me, they wouldn't recognize me later," Emma explained. "Thank you, Mr. Landon, for caring about my son."Emma smiled gently. It made Landon feel particularly awkward. He had thought that she was going to a nightclub when all she cared about was her child. Talking to such an innocent person, Landon felt ashamed of his dark thoughts."It's so late, and you're still delivering food?" Landon finally recalled th

“Hello, Emma? This is George from the catering service. We have a special request for an urgent delivery. Can you handle it?”“Sure, George. What's the address and what's the order?”George quickly provided the details. “It's for Mr. Landon at his office. He needs lunch delivered within the next hour. It's a bit far, so we'll compensate you accordingly. Can you make it?”“Absolutely. I'll take care of it,” Emma assured him.She hurriedly completed the delivery, ensuring the food arrived fresh and hot. Mr. Landon was pleased with the prompt service.Later that evening, Landon returned home. He appreciated the delicious aroma in the air. Emma had prepared a hearty dinner.“Welcome back, Mr. Landon. Dinner is ready,” Emma greeted him with a warm smile.Landon was genuinely touched by her efforts. Despite their unconventional arrangement, Emma's dedication to her role impressed him. As they sat down for dinner, Landon could not help but feel grateful for the unexpected positive chan

Emma had thick skin when it came to insults. She had heard worse things, so the remarks her mother made did nothing to her. As she entered the house, she saw Branson sitting there. She greeted him warmly. "Hello, Uncle Bronson.""Hey," Branson responded. "I heard you were looking to place Asher in a kindergarten. Coincidentally, I know someone working at one.""If you talk to them, it should be possible to secure a spot for you," Branson said with confidence. Emma listened with elation. "Thank you, Uncle Bronson. I'm sorry to trouble you but just let me know how much money is needed."Besides giving gifts to the person doing the favor, she naturally could not forget her uncle's share. Money was something she could manage, even if Landon did not give her ten thousand dollars a month now. She still had her earnings."Sure," Branson said without hesitation. When he arranged things, there was no reason for him to dip into his own pocket."At critical times, you still have to rely on y

Barbara did not anticipate that. She glanced at her older brother, and Branson nodded. Seeing the interaction between her mother and her uncle, Emma was thoroughly disappointed. She had thought her uncle genuinely wanted to help her, but it turned out to be an equivalent exchange. Was it equally challenging for her uncle's granddaughter, Hailey Walker, to enter a prestigious primary school as it was for her son to attend kindergarten?"Why are you like this?" Barbara demanded. "Without being direct relatives, they can't attend school.""Uncle Bronson, you don't need to trouble yourself with Asher’s kindergarten enrollment. I'll find a way myself," Emma quickly redirected the conversation. "I need to get back to work now."Having rejected the possible transaction, Emma swiftly left."Why are you leaving? Your uncle is helping you, and you're still unwilling. This child..." Barbara began to go after her, but Emma ran fast enough to escape. She did not hear the rest of what her mother

Emma laughed in exasperation. "If the house is exchanged, how will the price difference be compensated? Based on the market value?""We're all family, why bother about price differences? What else is there in your mind besides money?" Barbara was not happy with her questions. "Your uncle is ready to help secure your son a spot in kindergarten.""What's wrong with you? Why don't you appreciate your uncle's efforts?" Barbara asked. She nearly rolled her eyes in frustration.Emma felt a lump rise in her chest. "If it weren't for securing a spot in a prestigious primary school for his Hailey, would he even bother helping me get a kindergarten spot for my son?"Emma bluntly exposed the situation, "If I don't agree to swap houses with them, would he still secure a kindergarten spot for my son? I doubt he genuinely cares about me."Barbara became impatient. "How can you be so shameless? You expect your uncle to help without giving anything in return?"Frustrated, Barbara dealt another b

She wanted to hear what explanation her mother would give her. At this moment, Barbara's mind was spinning rapidly. "Does your son have to go to a prestigious primary school?" Emma felt a sharp pain in her chest. Her mother's words cut like a knife. "Why can't my child go to a prestigious primary school?" Emma's tears threatened to find release. Was her son not deserving of such a good opportunity when compared to Hailey?"Why are you being so unreasonable?" Barbara scolded her without mercy. "I'm doing this for your sake," Barbara said with confidence. "You're married, and your husband sees this illegitimate child hanging around all the time. Even if he doesn't say it out loud, do you think he feels good about it?" "Just leave the child with me and let him go to a school nearby. Then, in a couple of years, you can have another child with your husband." The more Barbara spoke, the more she felt that she was being clever and reasonable. "This way, when you have your child with hi

While Barbara stood stunned, Landon pushed the electric bike with one hand and embraced Emma with the other, already walking away."Barbara" Bronson walked over from the side and gave his dazed sister a push.What's she daydreaming about?She was so useless. She could not even handle such a small matter!"Bronson" Barbara snapped back to reality and slapped her thigh. "That bastard dared to insult me? I have to find him!""What are you looking for? He left in his car a long time ago." Bronson had watched everything clearly from the side. "By the way, what does Emma’s husband do? The car he drives is quite something""Car? What car?" Barbara had not been paying attention to what kind of car that ill-mannered guy was driving."A Bentley, worth at least two or three million,” Bronson said with a touch of envy.Barbara's eyes widened in astonishment. "Two or three million?""What's his name?" Bronson looked around, fortunately, there were not many people on the roadside where they

"Alright, alright, I won't keep you. Goodbye." With a smirk, Bronson hung up the phone.He would have no mercy for Emma.She had a child out of wedlock, and she still dared to refuse him?He wanted Emma to understand that the world was not so simple.At that moment, Emma had no idea that someone was already scheming against her. She was feeling embarrassed.She awkwardly twiddled her fingers. "Mr. Landon, it's not what you think. My mom made an unreasonable request, and that's why we argued."Every time she resisted her mother, everyone around would scold her for being unfilial or a heartless person.She was eager to explain to Landon about what had just happened. However, she suddenly realized that the situation was too complex. She would have to start with her relationship with her mother and then explain why she had become the person she was.Landon was an elite. His time was precious. How could he possibly listen to her talk about these trivial matters?Emma anxiously stol
