Chapter 3388

Elisa was particularly cherished by her mother-in-law, as her personality closely mirrored that of her grandmother’s.

“Miss Audrey, you are far too humble. You have fully inherited the talents of the head of the family and can shine brightly wherever you go.”

Old Mr. Jimenez spoke with a pride that only a parent can truly feel for their children.

Audrey and Darrell assisted Old Mr. Jimenez out of the room. With a smile, Audrey remarked, “I’m unsure about the status of the Farrell family’s successor. Unless I start my own business, I’ll need a mentor to help me recognize a good opportunity. As an employee, there are many decisions beyond my control.”

Eventually, she established her own company.

After Clive took over, she transferred ownership of her company to him. She retired to spend her days at home with her elderly husband, enjoying a peaceful life in her later years.

Occasionally, she found herself worrying about her children’s marriages.

Clive was not a concern, and she no longer worried about Elisa.

However, her youngest son, Leland, was a constant source of frustration for Audrey. When it came to marriage, Leland was incredibly stubborn; no amount of persuasion seemed to sway him. Whenever she attempted to arrange a blind date for him, he would refuse to go. If a girl sought him out, he would either make an excuse to escape or disguise himself as a homeless man, claiming to be unkempt and undesirable.

The blind dates Audrey set up for Leland were always with wealthy young women from Wiltspoon.

What wealthy young lady would be interested in the disheveled appearance of Leland, the second son of the Stone family?

This situation remained unresolved.

The primary reason was

Leland seldom frequented upper-class circles. He didn’t need to take over the family business since Clive was more than capable. Instead, he pursued his interests and often spent long periods away from home, sometimes not returning for six months to a year.

Few people truly understood Leland; many perceived him as someone indifferent to his appearance. In comparison to Clive, they were often left disappointed. As a result, the women of Wiltspoon gradually stopped trying to introduce potential partners to Leland.

Some were concerned that Elisa might be hard to get along with. After all, she had not enjoyed a good reputation in the upper-class society of Wiltspoon City. Although her image had improved recently, the remnants of her past arrogance and rudeness lingered in people’s minds.

“I heard a child laughing,” Old Mr. Jimenez remarked upon hearing Sonny’s laughter. He had a fondness for children. When the previous matriarch was alive, he often played with her two daughters. Miss Audrey spent her early years sitting on his shoulders, while Miss Harlow adored being close to him. He cherished the two young ladies as if they were his own daughters.

Children possess pure hearts and could sense his genuine affection, which naturally drew them to him. After the matriarch’s tragic passing and his subsequent escape from danger, he lived with the old doctor and his friends for decades, watching their apprentices grow. Though those mischievous youngsters had their moments, they ultimately matured into sensible adults.

Today, those once-naughty kids have become influential figures in their respective fields.

“It’s Liberty’s son, Sonny, a lively three-year-old who resembles Liberty quite a bit. Seeing him reminds me of…”

“Seeing him is like witnessing Liberty as a child,” Old Mr. Jimenez said happily. “That’s wonderful; it’s comforting to know that Harlow left behind descendants.” However, his smile quickly faded as he continued sorrowfully, “If only I had found you two sisters sooner, Miss Harlow wouldn’t have faced such troubles, and she would still be here.” Audrey, heartbroken from the loss of her only sister, Harlow, felt compelled to console Uncle Jimenez. She worried that his advanced age and emotional volatility might lead to further problems. “Liberty and Serenity are wonderful sisters. They have fought for the justice Harlow deserved.”
