After hearing what Serenity had to say, Jeanne said, “What’s there to fear from toxic relatives? As long as she’s capable, she can crush them no matter how many there are.“Ultimately, it depends on whether Ms. Everly has the guts to do it. If she doesn’t have the nerve to handle toxic relatives, how is she supposed to manage a multi-billion-dollar corporation? Does she have lots of issues in her family?”Serenity explained, “The Flemming family is small. They’ve only had one child for generations. By the time it got to Everly’s generation, her father had passed away before she was even born. She’s an only child, with no older or younger siblings.“The ones running the show are Everly and her grandfather. Rumor has it that her mother is incredibly soft-hearted and easily manipulated by her own brothers and sisters.“I actually had someone look into the Flemming family. Everly definitely has the guts. Her maternal relatives are too afraid to cross her face-to-face. Even if they conv

Ultimately, Serenity knew that nagging would not change much. At the end of the day, it was all up to Sonny himself and whatever fate had in store for him.Not long after, Zachary returned home.Knowing that Jeanne was only in the city for a night while stopping by on her business trip, Zachary had canceled his evening social obligations and hurried home, beating his son back to the house.“Hey, Uncle Zack,” Jeanne called out sweetly the moment she saw him walk into the kitchen.Zachary’s expression softened. “Jeanne, why aren’t you watching some TV in the living room or taking a walk in the courtyard to enjoy the view? I’ll take over and help your aunt with the cooking.”Jeanne grinned. “I was just lending a hand.”Since Zachary was back, she happily excused herself from the kitchen to avoid playing third wheel to the couple.With her usually hectic work schedule, Jeanne rarely had time for television and had no clue what shows were even trending, so she skipped the living room

Whatever Callia had, Jeanne would have too.The two cousins shared an incredibly close bond. It was likely because the social circle they grew up in was so heavily dominated by boys that girls were a rare treasure.“Whenever Dad is free on the weekends, and my parents aren’t heading out, he practically lives in the kitchen experimenting with all kinds of recipes. Mom is the one who gets pampered, while the rest of us just happen to benefit as a bonus. He’s studied culinary arts, and after practicing for decades, it’d be a miracle if his cooking wasn’t spectacular.”Even Heath had to admit that his father’s culinary skills were a cut above the rest.The three young adults chatted as they walked into the house.The moment Heath stepped through the front door, he headed straight for the kitchen. Spotting a few freshly cooked dishes on the counter, he grabbed a spoon and immediately sneaked a bite.“Heath!”Serenity chided her son, “You’re almost thirty, and you’re still acting li

Corey said, “Your business trip’s only at Gallinger, wasn’t it? It’s not that far. Why didn’t you drive? If you didn’t drive, then you really can’t take all this with you. Fine then, just take the snacks Nana bought for you. But don’t eat too many at once. Proper meals are still the most important. I’ll just leave all the supplements for your aunt.”Hearing this, Serenity was speechless. She could not possibly finish that many supplements either.Since Corey and Derek had come over, Jeanne did not return to Westwood Manor. After all, her stay in Wiltspoon was brief. After dinner, she spent time chatting with her grandparents. It was not until nine o’clock that the elderly couple reluctantly left Serenity’s home.Jeanne chatted with her aunt and cousins for a while longer before being urged upstairs to sleep. She had an early train to catch the next day.Early the next morning, after breakfast, Sonny drove her to the rail station. Someone would meet her at the station when she arriv

Roxy thought that by keeping a close watch on Laurence, she would eventually see some signs if he truly was the child who had escaped thirty years ago.Unfortunately, her surveillance yielded no results. Laurence was simply too difficult to deal with.“If he really is that child from thirty years ago, he will definitely be a formidable enemy to my entire family,” Roxy muttered to herself.Tony and Manny had openly and secretly targeted Laurence countless times, yet none of their attempts had succeeded. The best outcome they had ever achieved was injuring his bodyguard, Noelle.Laurence remained completely unharmed.To be honest, Roxy was rather envious that Laurence had such a capable and loyal bodyguard by his side.If she had a bodyguard as loyal as Noelle, she could practically do as she pleased throughout Havenmill.Ring, ring, ring.The office phone rang.Roxy answered it. It was Manny calling through the office intercom, asking her to come to his office.After hanging u
