"Willy! What do you mean by 'it might be too late'? Tell Mom clearly!" Penelope immediately asked, her voice filled with excitement.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing..." Willy panicked inwardly. He had said too much! But seeing how his parents were even more excited than he was, he started to feel less inclined to hide things from them anymore.
"Willy, tell Mom, I can accept anything! You're at the right age now, and so is Violet! Be honest, is she...?" Penelope asked, her tone slightly probing.
"Ah, Mom! Why are you asking me this?" Willy stammered, feeling awkward.
"Haha, don't hide it from your lover. Son, you're embarrassed, aren't you? So, that must be it!" Penelope teased.
"Ah, this is just too great! This year has been so happy for me! First, I found my long-lost son, and that joy hasn’t even worn off yet. Now, I’m going to be a grandmother! Darling, hug me! Let me wake up from all this excitement! Tell me, is all of this real?" Penelope e
By the evening, Willy still hadn’t received any news about his engagement ring being ready, so he stayed another night in M City. Later that evening, he accompanied Penelope and Caleb back to his grandfather’s house. Penelope’s family, along with his father and niece Tessa, gathered for dinner.The family atmosphere was harmonious. Tessa was particularly curious about Willy’s entrepreneurial journey, asking him countless questions throughout the meal, mostly about the challenges faced during the early stages of starting a business. Willy was more than happy to answer, though some of his responses were a bit exaggerated — after all, he had a system helping him behind the scenes!Meanwhile, in New York, Violet and Peyton were meeting up at the New York Department Store. The two girls had just shopped through two
"Tian, is there something wrong with your sister?" Patricia pointed to her head with a confused expression."Tian, my sister's fine. Her boyfriend is named Morgan, and he’s the owner of Willy Pharmaceuticals. The Levi you’re talking about is just the head of Willy Pharmaceuticals’ operations," Tian explained calmly."What do you mean?" Patricia asked, confused."Exactly what I said. I think meeting you today has kind of fulfilled a long-time dream of mine. Now that I’ve heard you reject me face-to-face, I think I can finally let go. After all, I’m not getting any younger, and all these years, it’s been me waiting for you. You’ve never agreed to be with me! So, Patricia, from now on, let’s just be friends. I won’t have any more feelings for you," Tian said, his voice
In comparison, the Norris family in M City was much more harmonious. After dinner, the whole family sat together, chatting and sharing stories from the past few years. It was simple, warm, and ordinary.By around 10 p.m., Penelope noticed Spencer had started dozing off, so she decided to leave the Norris household.The next morning, Willy received a message from Eleanor: "The engagement ring is ready!""Eleanor, I’m leaving now. I’m in a bit of a rush, so you can discuss with my parents about when they’ll be returning. You handle the arrangements.""Understood, Young Master. I’ll book the tickets for you."&nb
After everything was settled with Peyton, the plan was set, and all that was left was to wait for the evening to unfold as planned.Violet was at work handling documents when she received a call from Peyton."Hey, Peyton, aren’t you busy?" Violet asked."Busy, but remember we were supposed to go shopping together yesterday? Instead, we ended up stalking your brother and eavesdropping on his conversations, and we didn’t buy anything! So, we’re going today!""Right! I need to get Willy a gift too! How could I forget after seeing my brother yesterday!""Big sis, are you losing your mind lately or what?!""Yeah, I think so. Ou
"Shut up! Shut up! Hurry and pack it up! Put it away!" Violet was panicking, trying to hide the gifts as she noticed several couples around them staring."Wow! Those underwear look so sexy! Babe, you're a fitness coach, they'd look great on you! Let's go check them out, let's buy them!" A girl pulled a muscular guy away, and Violet could see that the guy's face was even redder than hers."Ugh, you’re embarrassing me! Hurry up and pack it away! Are you done shopping yet? I’m starving, I want to go eat!""I’m almost done! But come on, look at this! After we’re done, I’ll treat you to sushi. There’s a unique sushi place on the 17th floor I’ve been dying to try!""Alright, hurry up!"
“Hahahaha!” The group burst into laughter.Paisley walked up to the two of them.“Willy, from now on, I’ll leave my daughter in your hands. You have to treat her well!”“Don’t worry, Paisley. I will treat Violet well.”“Mm! I trust you.”Willy noticed the way Paisley looked at him, as if she already knew about Violet’s pregnancy, and he suddenly became a bit nervous!The proposal finally came to an end.Everyone went their separate ways, and Violet went to the Morgen estate with Willy.
"Ah! This is too valuable!""Just wear it, don't take it off! I know you have a lot of nice things, and Willy's already given you plenty, but this is our token of affection!""Violet, wear it! It’s from Mom, and it’s for our future daughter!""What if it’s a son?""Then we’ll have another daughter!""Mom, do you prefer a grandson or a granddaughter?""Either’s fine, but Violet is the most important! You two are still young, make sure to take good care of your first pregnancy! Now, go ahead and eat, breakfast is ready!"While Willy was eating breakfast, Penelope
The two families were gathered together once again. The last time they had met was when Willy was first found by Caleb, at the Morgan estate. Now, they were here to discuss the upcoming wedding, as the two kids were about to get married."Willy, why don’t you show your dowry list to your in-laws? If they have any concerns, they can speak up!" Penelope said with a cheerful smile. Although she wasn’t entirely sure what the odd-shaped items in the living room were, she had full confidence in Willy’s choice for the dowry."Well, if Willy gives it, then it’s fine! If my daughter’s happy, we’ll take it! Willy’s been buying us things for days, and everything’s top-tier! Caleb, try this tea, where did Willy get this from? It’s my favorite!" Owen spoke up enthusiastically.P
"That’s great! The card’s been set up, right? How’s the baby’s heartbeat? Sweetie, listen to your mom! When a woman is pregnant, she really has to be careful. No cold drafts, and especially no cold water! When you went to the beach, how was the water temperature?""Mom, Willy's really careful. The sea water is warm, and the pool under our castle is heated like a hot spring! So, I’m fine!" Violet reassured her."Ah, well, still be cautious. Listen to me, I’ve told you this before—watch what you eat! Before..." Paisley continued, her voice full of concern.Meanwhile, Willy had been chatting with Owen and Tian in the living room for over an hour, but Violet and Paisley hadn't come downstairs yet. Owen glanced at the time, realizing it was getting late, and decided to go upstairs to find them."My dear, what are you and our daughter doing? It’s getting late; Violet needs to head home soon, right?" Owen asked.
"Yes, boss! I'll hang up now!"As soon as Willy ended the call, he realized that since he had decided to attend the upcoming Research Contribution Awards ceremony, he would need to prepare properly. He was determined to put on a show, making everyone believe his outlandish words."Darling, are you busy with work?" Violet asked, concerned."Not really, just some things to take care of at the end of the month. I’ll be away for a couple of days.""Where are you going?""To Australia. I’ll be going with my boss, and he’s bringing all the top mercenaries with him. Looks like it’ll be a lively trip!" Willy explained."Darling, it’s already the 20th. Shouldn’t we head back now?"Hearing Violet’s words, Willy immediately sat up and looked at her. "What’s wrong, baby? Are you upset about my business trip?""It’s not that. I just want to check on the company. I’ve been kee
"But darling, you're still amazing!" Violet said, clearly impressed."Alright, let's go! If you go through this dense forest, you’ll find my castle. This island is Wonder Island," Willy replied with a smile."Darling, carry me down! Heehee," Violet teased.Seeing Violet acting cute, Willy walked over to the other side of the flying vehicle, picked her up effortlessly, then grabbed their luggage with one hand while holding Violet’s hand with the other, pointing towards the distance. "Sweetheart, look over there!""Wow, it’s so beautiful!!" Violet couldn’t contain her excitement as she saw the luxurious castle in the distance and immediately rushed towards it.Willy casually stored the flying vehicle in his system space and sent a message to Elijah to let him know they had arrived, then quietly followed Violet."Darling, slow down! You’re pregnant! How can you run so fast?" Willy called out as he jogged after her.
"2.5 billion? That's really not much. Let’s settle on that. Get all the materials ready, and tomorrow I’ll send my lawyer and my secretary, Ethan, to your company to handle the paperwork. You have until the end of this month. By then, you need to make sure all the assets of your companies are transferred to Ethan," Willy said, making his decision."Rest assured, Willy! I’ll get everything ready," Mason quickly replied."How much debt does your company have?""Willy, the only debt left is from the tourism business. We owe 800 million to the bank, but I’ll settle it. Don’t worry about that! The problem is, the profits from these companies aren't looking good right now. If you take over and start losing money, then…" Mason hesitated, unsure of how Willy would react."It’s not your problem anymore, is that what you mean? Don’t worry. Once I take over, it’s my responsibility. I’ll handle the operatio
“Alright, then thank you!” Willy said."Stop playing coy, Willy. Just wait for my update. By the way, the chips are enough now, you can continue supplying The Robinson Family and The Brown Family. I’ve come to realize that these so-called big families—anyone on your good side rises, and those on your bad side get crushed," the caller said with a knowing tone."Boss, you can’t put it like that. I’ve always been honest. If they don’t bully me, I won’t fight back! Just look at all these big families, which one didn’t start by bullying me before I took them down?" Willy responded with a laugh."Willy, how you handle them is your business, but I hope you don’t destroy the economic balance. Things are already tough, and if all these rich businessmen go bankrupt, a lot of people will lose their jobs. That’s not good for me. If you understand what I mean, you’ll know what to do. No favoritism—
The day after the wedding, Willy took Violet and his parents to visit the newly purchased property at 77 Central Park West. As they stood in front of the building, Caleb and Penelope looked up at the towering structure, stealing glances at Violet."Son, is this the house you bought for us?" Caleb asked."Yeah, Dad, take a look and see which one you prefer—this place or the top-tier mansion we're living in now. Violet, which one do you like better?" Willy asked, turning to his wife."You guys decide. It doesn’t matter to me," Violet replied casually. She didn’t mind either option; both the luxury mansion they lived in now and the new place at 77 Central Park West were great.Caleb thought for a moment. "Son, I think I prefer our current place. This 12th-floor apartment makes me worry about power outages, and it’s too big. What if burglars get in? Your mother and I would be scared!""You don’t worry about the secur
As Violet stepped off the flying vehicle, every step she took was met with bursts of ribbons and fireworks. The sounds of cheers and blessings surrounded her, and Violet couldn’t help but feel like the happiest woman in the world.Finally, they reached the grand hall.The couple stood by the stage, waiting. By now, all their friends and family had taken their seats. Willy glanced around."Wow, what a huge hall!" he thought. The venue could easily accommodate over a hundred tables, and it was almost full! The crowd was enormous, and Willy realized he didn’t know most of them. Who were these people?At 11:28 AM, the ceremony officially began!Under the host's guidance, Willy completed the various segments of the ceremony. The host announced the couple would change outfits, and the kitchen staff began serving the food. Meanwhile, the stage stayed lively with Logan’s arranged celebrity performances, which caught everyone’s atten
"Cheap? Willy, let me explain. Each floor is 424 square meters, with a total of 12 floors. We’ve calculated the price based on a unit cost of 116,000 per square meter! The building next door is a bit cheaper. This is the pricing method for high-rise buildings, which is different from residential and commercial office buildings! And it’s a far cry from your top-tier global mansion! Your place is priced based on land value, while mine is based on the high-rise!""Oh, I see! Deal. Can we finalize the paperwork now? My people will move in tonight, is that okay?""Of course, no problem."After securing the properties, Willy briefly discussed an environmental collaboration project with The Robinson Family before heading back to his office.By t
