"Jasper will start kindergarten after the New Year holidays. He'll stay here, and we'll need your help to take care of him while we're at the frontier," Mila explained. Florence nodded quickly. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of him." As a new mother, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of a child being separated from his parents. "Chubs, are you sure you don't want to keep Jasper with you? It's so heartbreaking for a child to be away from his parents for so long." Mila sighed, resigned, "Some children are destined to bear their unique burdens from birth. I'm a scientist, and Nate is a general in national defense. Jasper's life is different from others." Sienna nodded, lips pressed together. Mila reassured her. "We'll visit him during our breaks, and he can come to the frontier during his holidays. The actual time apart won't be as much as it seems. It's going to be alright." Wendy chimed in, "It's good for him to stay here. There are plenty of children around,

However, Sienna still mustered the courage to respond gently, "I love you too, Honey." Sienna's daughter was named Candice, a name given by Florence. Initially, Gary and his sons all vied to name the little girl, but amidst the fervor of discussion, none of their suggestions gained traction. Instead, Florence's spontaneous suggestion was accepted. Thus, she became Candice, or simply Candy. She was the darling of the family, showered with boundless love by all. From a tender age, Candice was bright, sweet-natured, and exceptionally adorable. When she started kindergarten, the entire family rallied to give her a grand enrollment ceremony. The celebration was so extravagant that it startled her teachers. Several imposing men, holding banners and gifts of flowers and lollipops, played instruments at the kindergarten gate, making a spectacular scene. Long after Candice had entered, they lingered outside, reluctant to depart. Upon inquiry, it turned out these enthusiastic famil

"Candice, something's wrong! You're not on the confirmation list!" Vanessa Yates, shifting her office chair closer, urgently whispered to Candice, "Hurry and check the email. Your name isn't there." Candice's beautiful face instantly fell. In disbelief, she grabbed her mouse and clicked open the company email. She murmured to herself, "That's impossible. I passed the three-month evaluation, and my design was selected for the next season's collection. Why isn't my name there?" Vanessa, equally perplexed, suggested, "I don't know why. You should ask the director." Candice scanned the email again. Every intern's name was listed except hers. Vanessa leaned in, frustration in her voice. "This is unfair. You've been the best performer among the interns. Why is your name missing?" Candice released the mouse and clenched her fists, her eyes welling up. It wasn't just about the job; she knew she could find work elsewhere. What stung was the excellence she had consistently shown, e

"Why aren't you going? The whole family will be there," Jasper said as he started the car and drove off. Candice remained silent. Jasper continued, coaxing softly, "Candice, how about we get your makeup done and find a lovely evening gown? Just come along to the banquet with me, alright?" Candice, with her naturally gentle disposition, found it difficult to resist her brother's request. She nodded in acquiescence. The opulent Hoffis Manor gleamed with grandeur. Crystal chandeliers cast a radiant glow over the expansive ballroom, exuding an aura of luxury and sophistication. Soft, melodic music filled the air, mingling with the chatter and laughter of the elite guests. Being the richest family in Norvania, the Hoffis family's banquet was attended predominantly by aristocrats and dignitaries. The entire Morrison family was present. Candice's uncles were huddled together, complaining to Tristan. "What spell did you cast on Candice that she insisted on working for your comp

The waiter stood still, his eyes betraying a hint of guilt. Michaela and Tristan approached, showing concern for Candice. Candice, who always addressed them as her grandparents like Jasper, quickly apologized, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry for interrupting your guests." "It's alright, dear. Go and change your clothes quickly." Candice nodded, about to leave, but not before pleading, "The waiter didn't do it on purpose, please don't blame him." The elders sighed, nodding with a smile.They couldn't help but admire her for being such a kind and sensible girl, yet so innocent that she couldn't see the darkness in people's hearts. Other guests began whispering to each other. "Who is she? A minor incident has grabbed the attention of all the men in the entire Morrison family, even the two elders from the Hoffis family are showing such concern." "She's Gary's granddaughter, the treasured gem of the Morrison family." "She's not your average person. Her mother is a famous rom

Candice slipped into a new evening gown, touched up her makeup, and glided back into the banquet hall. The ambiance inside remained lively and effervescent. Casually, she made her way to the side, and upon reaching the dining area; she selected her favorite dishes from the table. Meanwhile, Michaela and Tristan approached the stage, each holding a wine glass. With a resonating voice, Tristan began, "Thank you, esteemed guests..."Candice stole a glance at the duo on stage, observing their radiant smiles and eloquent words. These formalities and social graces were nothing new to her. As the toasts circulated, she pondered whether to indulge in dessert tonight. However, thoughts of potential weight gain and skin issues held her back. Maintaining her appearance and figure mattered, which meant carefully considering her diet. Opting against dessert, she settled for pumpkin soup instead. After Tristan's speech of pleasantries concluded, Michaela's voice filled the room. "Tonight,

On the other side of the banquet hall, Elio's face wore an unusually grim expression, his demeanor impassive despite his friends' congratulations. Even Josie approached him and murmured, "What's going on? Why didn't you tell me that we're getting engaged next month?" Elio simply raised his glass and downed it in one go. Jasper walked over, smiling. "Uncle Elio, congratulations. Josie, congratulations to you too. Should I start calling you Aunt Josie?" Josie quickly interjected, "No, don't call me that, you're making me sound old." "Uncle Elio is like a generation before us, it's unavoidable," Jasper laughed, then turned to Elio, noticing his somber expression. "Why do you look so unhappy? Who upset you?" Elio's cold gaze met Jasper's, and he uttered a single word, "You." Jasper was baffled. "How did I upset you?" At that moment, Hector's angry voice boomed, "Elio!" All eyes turned toward Hector, who was leading Candice toward Elio. Elio's gaze darkened slightly as h

Elio turned away with a cold expression, leaving behind a curt remark, "Then don't address me as anything." The group stood there, bewildered, and Candice was equally perplexed. Elio's moods were always unpredictable and hard to understand. After the banquet ended, Candice followed her cousins out of the villa. As she waited by the entrance for Jasper, she heard a painful groan from a distant corner. Curious, she walked over to investigate.In a secluded area, a man in a suit was beating up a waiter. It was the same waiter who had spilled red wine on her earlier. Before she could intervene, Candice heard the waiter begging for mercy. "Please, don't hit me anymore! I'll confess. It was Josie's aunt who told me to do it! She wanted Ms. Candice to be humiliated at the banquet!" Candice was stunned. Josie's aunt? Her name was Fenna, if she remembered correctly. "Get lost," the man in the suit ordered. The waiter scrambled away in fear. Candice stood frozen, not noticing the
