Chapter 135
The atmosphere inside the Ford family villa was oppressively terrifying, as everyone
could see that Malcolm’s expression had been extremely unpleasant since returning
from the concert.
He had made an agreement with Sophia to go out and find Sherry. Just as they saw her
running out with her phone in hand, seemingly in a hurry to find someone, he followed
her. However, some media reporters stopped them and kept asking them pointless
questions.
As the president of the Ford Group, this was a crucial time for the company’s
development, and he couldn’t afford to be caught doing negative things by the media.

Whether it was leaving the reporters behind and together
with Sherry, both would have a significant impact on his image of being successful in
both love and career.
There was no choice but to stop and maintain a smile, answering the media’s questions
with fake enthusiasm and pretending to talk about how loving he and Sophia were and how satisfied his future father–in–law was with him.

While his face displayed a smile, his heart was filled with anger.
Sophia intentionally brought these media representatives here! They were truly
annoying. By the time he finally got rid of the media, the concert had already ended,
and Sherry had long since left.
At the dining table, Violet and Nora were still chatting affectionately.
Violet said, “I’m not very good at cooking. These dishes were all made by the chef from
Aroma Delight Restaurant and delivered. Nora, please taste them and see if they suit
your taste.”
Nora was a shrewd person. It was impossible for her to fall out with Violet. She still
maintained a smiling face as she said, “How could they not be delicious? I’ve been
living abroad for these years, and what I miss the most is the taste of my h
hometown.
You’re fortunate to have such an outstanding son who can manage the company so
well. You don’t need to personally handle household matters, just hire some servants.”
These words were a direct compliment to Violet, and they instantly lowered her guard. She became more relaxed and opened up as she said, “Exactly! I only have this one son,

and my whole heart is devoted to him. But Malcolm is also very promising. Nora, your
are the same. It’s so wonderful to have both a son and a daughter and to have a
husband who dotes on you. You’re the winner in life.”

Nora smiled lightly and pursed her lips, and she said, “That’s why I say Malcolm and
Sophia’s marriage is perfect. As elders, aren’t we all working for the well–being of our
children? The Ford Group has a wise Malcolm. As for David, he has skills, and Sophia is
pregnant. With the strong alliance between our two families, the money we earn and
the foundation we build will all belong to Malcolm and Sophia in the future, won’t it?”
“Yes, yes, you’re right. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. The fish at Aroma Delight Restaurant is the
best. Nora, you should try it.”
Nora looked at the dishes Violet served her and didn’t touch any of them. Instead, she
gently picked up a piece of fish and fed it to David while saying softly, “David, try this
fish; it’s boneless. Eating fish is good for your health.”
David, who had been silent all along, clearly enjoyed this. For years, whenever they sat
at the dining table, Nora would only start eating after he took the first bite. Nora also served him the best parts of the fish. If there were shrimp or crabs, Nora would peel

Nora always managed to satisfy his vanity as the head of the family, where he was
always prioritized.

When Violet served Nora the dishes just now, his face darkened. However, since they
were eating at the Ford residence today, he didn’t make a scene. Fortunately, Nora

David was finally satisfied. He smiled, took a bite, and nodded in approval. “This fish is
indeed well cooked. Nora, you should try it too.”
He then picked up another piece of fish and fed it to Nora.
“Great, thank you, David.” Nora smiled gently and turned to Violet, saying, “Violet, please
don’t mind us. We’re both getting old, but David still worries about whether I’m eating well. Sometimes, I can’t handle him being clingy.”
Violet had been a widow for over twenty years, and how could she not envy this? She
could only say something pleasant in front of them: “That’s because you two have a

“Who says it isn’t?” Nora said, “Now I just hope that my daughter can find someone who
will love and cherish her and live a stable life like me. When I first saw Malcolm, I knew
this young man must be great. He has good character and a promising future, right,
David?”
Nora always put David first in everything and followed David’s opinions everywhere.
David felt important and spoke in a pleasant manner. “Yes, many young people
nowadays are restless and not very useful. Sophia has good judgment of men.”
The elders complimented each other repeatedly, and even Malcolm, who was used to
hearing compliments in the business world, was a bit annoyed. These words sounded
insincere, but these people could still chat enthusiastically.
“Malcolm, come over and have a drink with Mr. Wilson.” Violet waved at him.
Malcolm frowned and said, “I remember Mr. Wilson has high blood pressure, so it’s
better not to drink if possible. Health is the most important thing.”

Violet was a little unhappy. “What are you talking about, child? It’s fine to drink a little.”
Nora noticed that Malcolm was impatient. She knew what was on his mind. Malcolm
went out to find Sherry, but the media stopped him, Sophia had already told her. He was
full of pent–up frustration.
She intervened, saying, “Malcolm is right; health is the most important thing. David, your
are the pillar of our family. If something happens to you, how can I continue living?”
David’s expression softened a bit, and he replied, “Alright, alright, I will listen to you.

three of you.
Nora’s eyes filled with tears as she looked touched and said, “David, you are so kind to
- us.
David held Nora’s hand in his palm and replied, “It’s only natural. If I’m not good to you
and the children, then who else should I be good to?” He then turned to Malcolm and
said, “Malcolm, you don’t need to stay with us anymore. Go upstairs and keep Sophia
company. She went straight to the bedroom as soon as she came back. I don’t know if

she’s feeling unwell.”
Malcolm nodded and glanced at Nora meaningfully. However, it was just a brief glance.
He turned around and went upstairs.

In the bedroom, Sophia suppressed her strong desire to destroy things and could only
vent her anger by tearing tissue after tissue into pieces.
