Chapter 3913

After Tatum left, Elora turned to her friend with wide eyes. “Rosie, are you serious? You know the York family from Wiltspoon? And Tatum… he’s the sixth young master of that York family?”
Rosie nodded knowingly. “Elora, you’ve never been to Wiltspoon, so it’s not surprising you didn’t know. Your family’s business doesn’t have any ties there, and Wiltspoon is quite far from here. But I’ve been there. I spent half a month in the city with my husband on a business trip. His family has dealings in Wiltspoon, so I learned a lot during our time there.
The York family is the powerhouse of Wiltspoon. They’re at the very top—both in wealth and influence. The York Corporation is to Wiltspoon’s business world what your Ormond family is to ours, only even more dominant.”
Rosie’s explanation had everyone in the room hanging on her every word, as she painted a vivid picture of the York family, clearly conveying their prestige.
“They’re not just wealthy, though,” Rosie continued. “The Yorks have an incredible family tradition. The men are famously loyal. Once they’re married, they’re committed for life—no cheating, no drama, just pure dedication to their marriage and family. Honestly, that’s what makes them so desirable. Sure, the money is attractive, but it’s their character that has women dreaming of marrying into their family.
“Who wouldn’t want a husband who’s loyal and handsome? And trust me, Elora, these men are exceptional—smart, accomplished, and ridiculously good-looking. What I didn’t expect was to find the sixth young master of the York family here, working as your chef.”
Rosie paused, her curiosity clearly piqued. “There are nine young masters in the current York family generation.”

The person most often discussed is Zachary, the eldest sibling. As the head of the family and Tatum’s full brother, they share the same mother.

“Tatum is somewhat of a mystery, though. Even back in Wiltspoon, he kept a low profile, so there isn’t much information about him. What I do know is that he has had a passion for cooking since childhood; he absolutely loves it. I believe that’s why he’s here working for you—it’s not merely a job; it’s his way of pursuing his culinary passion.”

Rosie tilted her head and smiled playfully. “Elora, you’re so particular about food, always pointing out flaws in his cooking. But honestly, I think that’s probably what attracted him here. He’s the kind of person who welcomes feedback, takes criticism, and uses it to hone his craft. He didn’t come for the paycheck; he came to grow.”

After a moment, Rosie added with a grin, “By the way, didn’t you conduct a background check on him before hiring him as your private chef?” Elora’s cheeks flushed slightly as she glanced down before replying, “I did. Twice, actually. All I discovered was that he’s a young entrepreneur with a successful career and a genuine love for cooking. That’s why I’ve always treated him with respect—he’s clearly a talented and driven individual.

“To be honest, I admired him even before I learned about his family background. The fact that someone so accomplished would humble himself to work as a chef just to improve his skills? That kind of dedication is rare and deserving of respect.

“However, here’s the thing—I didn’t find anything linking him to the York family. The hotels and restaurants associated with his name didn’t appear to be connected to the York Corporation at all. It just doesn’t add up.”

Rosie chuckled.

Rosie chuckled knowingly. “That’s not surprising. The York brothers don’t just sit idly by managing the family business. Each of them launches their own ventures, many of which aren’t connected to the York Corporation at all. It just doesn’t add up.”

“And consider this,” Rosie added with a sly smile. “When you were investigating Tatum, it’s quite likely the York family noticed. If they knew he came here to study cooking, they probably ensured he was kept under wraps. The Yorks have the resources to prevent you from discovering his true identity. After all, he’s not just any businessman—he’s the sixth young master of one of the wealthiest families in the world.”
