After listening to Angelo, Elora smiled and said, “Since you two are so generous, I’ll invite the other sisters to join us for shopping. Let’s see how much we can pressure your wallets!”
“I haven’t shopped in ages. Let’s buy whatever we want,” she added.
The brothers nodded in agreement. Alonzo chimed in, “Sister, you’re always so busy. You deserve some time to shop and relax.”
Elora was the busiest member of the Ormond family. Alonzo couldn’t recall ever seeing her take time off for shopping or trips. She was constantly working, meeting clients, and traveling for business.
Even on weekends, she stayed busy, often accompanying important clients for sports, swimming, or fishing. These clients were significant contributors, bringing in billions for their business.
For regular clients, Elora wouldn’t spend personal time with them; they were lucky if they secured even a meeting.
Many business leaders sought to work with the Ormond family just for the opportunity to meet Elora, but scheduling an appointment with her was a rarity.
Flora smiled and gently touched her brothers’ faces. “I’m afraid I might spend all the money you’ve saved over the years,” Elora joked.
Alonzo responded, “Don’t worry, Sister. I still have money with Mom. She’s invested in financial products for me, so I earn interest daily. When she buys stocks, I invest a little too. Mom plays it safe—she sells when the stock rises a bit. We’re not making a fortune, but we have enough to buy things for you.”
Elora praised him, “Alonzo, that’s impressive! You’re already learning to manage money and trade stocks. But don’t forget to focus on your studies. For now, just…
“Treat making money as a fun hobby,” she advised.
“I understand, Sister,” Alonzo replied, standing a bit taller after her praise.
Angelo, who had been listening, added, “Brother, you’re amazing! You trade stocks with my mom? I give my money to Mom to keep safe in the bank, so I earn some interest too.”
Although Angelo’s interest in trading wasn’t as strong as Alonzo’s, he had picked up a little about stock trading.
Coming from a wealthy family, business acumen seemed to run in their blood; they appeared to be born thinking about how to make money.
Angelo’s parents, however, did not trade stocks. They preferred investing in different ventures. For Angelo’s New Year’s money, they deposited it in the bank to save for his future business aspirations.
Despite the Ormond family’s wealth, the parents still wanted their children to find success on their own. If they were unable to do so, they could always return to inherit the family business.
Elora reassured Angelo, “It’s perfectly fine to keep it in the bank. It’s low-risk.”
Unlike stock trading and financial products, bank savings offered more security. Angelo’s parents were more cautious, while Elora’s were bolder with their investments.
In the Ormond family, even though the eldest Mrs. Ormond owned her own business and had considerable personal wealth, she led a quiet life. She mostly stayed at home but still discovered ways to generate income.
