Willie fell silent, unsure how to respond. After a moment, he lowered his voice.
“Don’t tell anyone.
Lettell you-my uncle doesn’t like Aunt Ruan at all.”
Jacob's eyes lit up like he'd caught juicy gossip, turning serious now.
“Who told you that?”
“My mom said it when she was talking with Dad. They said Uncle got together with Aunt Andrea because she
saved Grandma Gu before.”
Willie whispered: “I even saw Uncle push Aunt Andrea away before.”
Jacob originally just wanted to learn about the Sutton Family from him, never expecting to uncover his scumbag
dad's secret.
Whether it was true needed further investigation.
“It’s just your word.”
Though Willie didn’t understand the phrase, he sensed Jacob's disbelief.
“This weekend is my great-grandpa’s birthday. Aunt Andrea will be coming. I'm going with my parents. If you
don’t believe me, calong and see for yourself.”

It all fell right into his lap.
“Fine. If you're right, I'll believe you. But you have to promise I'll live the high life.”
Jacob agreed without hesitation.
Either way, he wouldn't lose out.
This trip to the Sutton estate would also let him teach that awful woman Andrea a lesson.
Stealing his dad was bad enough, but she even dared steal Mom's work!
Disgusting!
That weekend, Maureen boarded the private car early to head to
Katherine's home.
On the road.

She stared blankly at the heavy rain outside.
Ms. Ramirez couldn't help but smile.
“That must've been something | said when | was very little. | don’t even remember it myself.”
The driver continued:
“It’s fate that our Mr. Sutton has met you again.”
Maureen also found the world wonderfully strange.

They finally arrived at Katherine's villa.
Jacob had chearly today.
Both of them welcomed her inside.
“Reenie, con in! Jacob and | have been waiting to have dinner with you.”
Katherine and Jacob stared at her with expectant eyes.
“Alright.”
Maureen hadn't seen her child for days. She hugged Jacob and gently pinched his cheeks.
“How's school been lately?”
Jacob blushed faintly: “Good.”
Katherine grinned and chimed in: “My nephew Dongyang says he’s becquite popular with the girls, stealing
all the attention from other boys.”
Jacob inherited the best genes from Maureen and Geoffrey, growing into an exceptionally charming and clever
boy.
Katherine thought he'd grow up to be a heartbreaker who'd leave girls swooning.
“Mommy, I've been really good.”
Jacob added.

Maureen couldn't resist pinching his cheeks before planting a kiss on his forehead: “That's good.”
Jacob instantly flushed crimson.
Only after a long pause did he remember what he wanted to say:
“Oh, Mommy.
I'm visiting a friend's house tomorrow.”
He deliberately didn’t mention that friend was Willie.
“You've made friends already? That's wonderful.”
Maureen beamed with genuine delight, “Get srest early tonight
then.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After dinner, once Jacob fell asleep,
Maureen and Katherine chatted over tea.
Katherine slid two ivory invitations across the table.
“What are these?”
Maureen tilted her head in confusion.
“The Sutton Family patriarch’s 80th birthday tomorrow. Everyone who's anyone in Karaville will be there.”
Katherine lowered her voice, “Since my dad’s been pushingto

he pulled sstrings for these invites-figuring all the eligible bachelors will be at the Suttons’. This extra one’s
for you.”
“Aren’t you trying to get close to Geoffrey?
Seems like your golden chance.”
Maureen couldn't help feeling touched: “Thank you, Katherine.”
“Don’t mention it between us. Last tyou covered forat that blind date, now it’s your turn to have my
back.”
Katherine loathed these social gatherings.
Before moving abroad, Scott would drag her to endless parties.
All to scout wealthy and influential bachelors-she’d had enough.
“Alright.”
Katherine cheered her on: “This time, nail that uptight yet passionate Geoffrey and get his sperm!”
“Mm.”
Maureen had nearly succeeded last time, if only...
Tomorrow required careful planning.
Suddenly remembering something, Maureen asked: “Do you think Andrea will attend Nicholas Sutton’s birthday
banquet?”

“Absolutely! She'd never miss a chance to cozy up to the Suttons.”
Katherine replied instantly.
Maureen's lips curved:
“We'll bring Andrea a special gift this time.”
The next day.
Jacob rose early.
Nicholas’s celebration began at 10 a.m.
Jacob's early start served two purposes: avoiding Maureen’s notice and honoring Willie's invitation.
Maureen prepared a gift box for him to present to his friend.
Maureen had no idea that Jacob's friend was Willie, the eldest grandson of the Sutton Family.
Jacob didn’t dare tell her-knowing this, she’d never let him visit the
Sutton estate.
So Jacob casually used another classmate’s ninstead.
Jacob and Willie agreed to meet at the kindergarten entrance.
Soon, a stretch limousine pulled up before Jacob, making him look especially small.
The door swung open, Willie declaring proudly: “You don’t have a car like this at home, do you?”
