“There are still some relatives on his side,” Linda said softly. “It’s just that they looked down on him during those
years he was in a gang and avoided him.
“Now that they see he’s gotten rich and successful as the boss of an entertainment company, they’re eager to
curry favor with him!”
Linda pursed her lips. The Thompson relatives had basically all visited their home in recent years. It was to borrow
some money today, find a job the next day, ask to join the board of directors the day after, and demand shares
afterward.
When Nicholas refused, they guilt-tripped him in his family’s name and then threatened to expose that he was once
a gang member. Sol Entertainment had always been caught in rumors and scandals mainly due to these absurd
relatives’ doing.
Nicholas had seen more to life and was unfazed by their tricks. His way was tough and firm, too, so he had offended

In addition to his previous involvement in the gangs, he had made many enemies. Although he had successfully
turned his life around and his career was thriving now, the more successful he became, the more people hated
him, and the more he had to be careful.
After all, those who were jealous of him were lurking in the shadows while he, his wife, and his daughter were out in
the open. He must protect them regardless.
“I have no complaints about Nicholas, actually,” Linda said with a happy smile. “It’s just these unreasonable
relatives that ruin the fun!”
“It’s okay!” Cordelia comforted her. “You don’t live with them anyway, so why bother? As long as Nicholas is good to
you and your daughter is by your side, everything will be fine!”
“Mm!” Linda smiled.
It was not that she really had a grudge. She just wanted to talk to someone when she was feeling upset. After
confiding in Cordelia, she felt much better.
Her baby woke up whining, and Linda quickly picked her up from the cradle.
Nicholas came in with Zephyr as well. Zephyr was delighted to see the delicate and pretty little girl. When he looked
at Nicholas and saw the grin that was almost splitting his face, he pouted and turned his face away in a fit of pique.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Cordelia nudged him. “Why are you staring into space? Bring out the gift!”
Zephyr quickly took out a lucky charm ornament made of gold and jade and carefully placed it next to the pillow in
the cradle.
“Look at you being so polite!” Nicholas laughed. He was very happy today, and he had drunk more than usual, so
his cheeks were red. When he saw his daughter, his eyes brimmed with adoration.
“We should!” Cordelia laughed. “We’re meeting for the first time. We have to give a gift to my future daughter-in-
law!”
Toph took the opportunity to ask, “Mom, what’s a daughter-in-law?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCordelia pursed her lips and pinched his nose.
Zuko had been looking at the little girl the whole time, curious about the newborn baby.
Back home, he had seen pictures of himself and his younger brother when they were born, and he was skeptical
that the ugly babies in the photos were him and his brother. Because of that, he thought that newborn babies were
all ugly like that.
He did not expect their little friend to be so cute. Was it because they were boys and their little friend was a girl?
Could it be that all girls were born pretty?
Zuko smiled innocently and pulled his mother’s clothes to ask, “Mom, can you give me a little sister?”
“Why?”
“I think she’s very pretty, like a doll!”
His words amused the adults, and Cordelia bent down to pat his little face. Before she could say anything, Nicholas
spoke. “Zuko, she will be yours in the future! Can you take good care of her?”
“Really?” Zuko was surprised. He got a doll in exchange for missing a class!
“Mm, really!” Nicholas walked over with a stagger to pat the boy’s shoulder. “Take good care of her in the future
or… I won’t be nice to you!”
“Shoo, shoo! You reek of alcohol!” Zephyr dragged him away in disdain. “Don’t intoxicate my son!”
