Preston asked Brittany to keep Andy in the Jorgansen family as her adopted son.

To outside, he claimed Andy to be Brittany’s child in her old age, but he just wanted Brittany to accept Andy.

It was a good plan, but he died in a few years.

Brittany saw Andy grow up. She did not like this child, nor did she hate him.

The old maid said worriedly, "Since Miss Nash’s child is of the Jorgansen family, then you..."

The old maid had grown up with Brittany and accompanied her for decades.

She knew that although Brittany indulged the descendants, she never harmed the child.

Otherwise, back then, even though Brittany knew that Preston had let her down, she still raised Andy and let the people outside think Andy was Brittany’s son.

If Brittany was really vicious, Andy wouldn’t grow up.

"So, what if it’s a child of the Jorgansen? If this child stays, and his identity is known, what should Marcos do? What will others say about us?"

"Since it’s their own fault, it’s better to kill it."

Otherwise, her eldest daughter-in-law would feel uncomfortable, and that child would not be able to enter the Jorgansen family.

The Jorgansens had such a big scandal. What should they do if word got out?

A child had not been born... could not be kept at times.

Brittany closed her eyes and chanted the spell.

The old maid listened and only said, "Andy will understand your good intentions for him."

Even if Brittany kept the child, Andy would not be able to bear a bad reputation.

If he was really good to Andy, he could have protected her in the ancestral hall.

He did not. Instead, he let it happen. Brittany did not say anything, but she also understood it.

It was Little New Year.

With the new year approaching, the entire city was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

Even the Jorgansen family, who had always been in the dark, had hung red lanterns.

Looking at Orlenna ordering the servants to stick paper-cut, Margaret sighed, "Mom, it’s almost the new year. Are you really not going back to River City with Bruce and

Hilla?"

Isn’t their home good? Why did she have to spend the New Year with Orlenna?

Margaret felt that she was going to have a hard time this new year, and she was scolded every day.

"Alright, put it up a bit more."

When the servants had put up all the paper cut, Orlenna turned to look at Margaret.

"You are not happy that I am here for the New Year?"

Of course... Margaret was unhappy.

"How could that be? It’s every daughter’s wish to spend the New Year with her mother."

’That daughter doesn’t include you, right? ’ Orlenna thought.

Orlenna said, "Do you think I’m willing to spend the New Year with you? Your brother has a tight schedule in Far City this year because of you. The program includes a lot of work and has to be finished soon. That’s why he stayed here with Hilla and his children."

Bruce and Hilla couldn’t go back to River City, so why should she go back alone?

Not to mention that her grandsons were still here.

Margaret frowned slightly. "Bruce, is that kind to me?"

By the way, when Margaret was the Jorgansens, Orlenna and Bruce had actually given her a large dowry and shares of the Anderson Group. She really felt that... Bruce had been possessed.

Orlenna glanced at Margaret and did not say anything.

Margaret, couldn’t she say anything good?

"Mom, do you think that Sophie will come back?"

Every family would reunite at New Year. Although it was said that Sophie became abnormal after she lost her child and went to Costsburgh Convent to recuperate.

But maybe the Jorgansens will take her back.

"Why does she come back? She betrayed her man. Isn’t the Jorgansens shameful?"

Margaret curled her lips. "Women who can make a man cuckold have the backbone. I admire her..."

Before Margaret finished speaking, there was a sound outside the door. Julian returned from work.

Margaret, who had just been lying on the sofa, suddenly sat up.

Margaret lay obediently on the back of the sofa and smiled. "You’re back!"

Orlenna glanced at her with disdain and turned to do her own things.

She had just said that the woman who can make a man cuckold had a backbone. But where was her backbone?

"Why do you return so early today?"

Margaret moved forward and wanted to take the jacket that Julian had taken off, but she did not expect the man to give it to the servant beside him.

She seemed to be a fake mobile hanger.

"I have a good brother. The project was pushed forward very smoothly."

Julian said lightly and hugged Margaret. Her belly was not obvious with fat clothes. "Did you eat much today?"

Margaret nodded hard. "I ate a lot. I like to eat all the cooking Mom made." The last sentence was clearly said to Orlenna, who was in the kitchen.

After that, Margaret secretly looked at Julian and said, "I want to eat the boiled fish you made."

If she said it in front of Orlenna, she would definitely be denied.

Julian released her and walked towards the kitchen.

Margaret saw through his intentions and couldn’t help but laugh. She hurriedly said, "I’ll help you roll up your sleeves."

The crystal button on his wrist was untied, and his white shirt sleeve was rolled up.

Lu Zhu pursed her lips into a smile. "Actually, you can cook another day. I’m not in a hurry to eat."

She was the one who said she was going to eat, and also the one who was not in a hurry.

Julian smiled and did not speak. He then went into the kitchen.

Julian leaned against the door and could not help giggling as she looked at the man inside.

How handsome!

Orlenna walked past her and frowned. "The drool comes out." Margaret touched her lips and looked at Orlenna with dissatisfaction. "Mom, I’m not that useless."

’You’re so useless that your mother feels embarrassed.’ Orlenna thought.

During dinner, Julian picked up the fishbone and put the fish meat into Margaret’s bowl.

Margaret then quickly ate it. Orlenna couldn’t help but say, "Don’t worry about her. She has handed."

"Mom, I ordered my man. It has nothing to do with you. If you are envious, you can find yourself a man."

Orlenna slammed her chopsticks on the table.

Then she took out her phone and found a photo.

Orlenna stared at Margaret and said, "Say that to him again!"

The man in the photo was handsome, tall, and imposing. His whole body exuded a trace of nobility, and he smiled gently.

Standing beside her was Orlenna in a white dress. In front of the two stood a boy and a girl.

Orlenna magnified the figure of her husband and put it in front of Margaret.

Margaret immediately grabbed the chopsticks in her hand firmly and pitifully said to Julian.

"She bullied a pregnant woman."

After that, Margaret felt Orlenna was angry and turned to comfort her. "Mom, I was wrong. Calm down. Your heart is not good. I am afraid that my dad will come to pick you up at night."

...

Orlenna gave Margaret a plate of sugar and sesame seeds.

Margaret couldn’t help but frown in disgust. She picked up one and stuffed it into her mouth.

She mumbled, "Mom, how old am I? Still eat this?"

Orlenna really liked to mess with these old customs.

It was really hard for the children!

Orlenna rolled her eyes at her. "Eat more and shut your mouth."

The food couldn’t stop Margaret from talking.

"Mom, this candy is too sweet and sticky!"

Margaret frowned and reached out to pick at the sticky candy in her mouth.

Although she was very dissatisfied, she had to eat whatever Orlenna gave her.

"That’s right. Then speak less."

"Am I talking much?"

Margaret rolled her eyes but picked up the second one.

It was very delicious!

Then she recalled, "Mom, do you think the Jorgansens really doesn’t want Sophie, that bad woman?"

When Margaret heard that Sophie was sent to Costsburgh Convent, she felt a little sympathetic to her.

"It is their business. What are you worried about?"

"I’m not worried about her. I’m worried about my mother-in-law. She lives with that evil woman. I’m really worried that she will be in danger."

After all, that bad woman had harmed the child in her belly and might even want to harm her mother-in-law.

Orlenna rolled her eyes and sneered.

"You really care about your mother-in-law!"

Margaret raised her lips proudly. "Of course. Although Julian is not her biological son, she is still my nominal mother-in-law, just like mother!"

She had the nerve to say that.

Did she not know how she made her own mother angry?

"Do you prepare a gift for me?"

Orlenna suddenly asked. Margaret was startled, and she carefully looked at Orlenna.

"Mom, do you still need gifts?"

Orlenna smiled gently. "Even a mother-in-law can have a gift. What do you think?"

Margaret retracted her hand and whispered, "I think you do!"

Women were so narrow-minded!

Margaret looked down on Orlenna over and over again, but she had to obediently send a message to Julian.

"Your mother-in-law is unhappy. She didn’t receive a gift from you. You are unqualified!"

There was a reply soon after the message was sent.

Julian replied, ’I’ll bring it back tonight!’

Margaret pursed her lips in satisfaction and looked at Orlenna.

"Mom, your daughter is sweet to you. Just wait for the surprise at night!"

Margaret had said it out loud. What surprises would Orlenna have?

Orlenna smiled and said, "I hope you can also have your sweet kid."

The Jorgansens kept the matter of Sophie very secret. Others only knew that the eldest granddaughter- in-law of the Jorgansens was pregnant and had an abortion. Then, she was sent to the mountain to recuperate.

Orlenna was not satisfied with this statement, but once this rumor spread, no one would question whether Marcos had fertility.

This was also half of what she had expected, and she reluctantly accepted it.

As long as that dead child did not fall on her son, everything else was fine.

Instead, Andy and Marcos were exceptionally quiet.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Andy didn’t mention it and went in and out as usual.

Marcos also didn’t feel that there was a person less by his side. And he had found a new maid to take care of him.

When Margaret went to the Jorgansen’s and saw the obedient little girl next to Marcos, she could not help but ask Julian, "Your brother just lost his fertility. It shouldn’t affect him being a man, right?"

Julian gave her a cold look and pulled Margaret away.

The Jorgansens regained its temporary peace, and marry was picked up from the mountain.

Margaret couldn’t help but feel the difference between her mother-in-law and Sophie.

One was locked up and scolded every day like a mad woman.

One was like Marry, who took her man on the mountain to live a happy life.

The most important thing was that the Jorgansens clearly knew it, but it seemed like they did not care about it at all.

Even Julian only greeted Marry as normal.

"The projects in the company have been progressed very smoothly. Even the Marley family and Key Group came to cooperate with us with a few good projects."

Aedan said to Brittany. When he saw Julian, his eyes clearly showed a bit of respect.

Julian was capable. He married a capable woman and even boosted the branch companies.

The stocks of the Jorgansen Group also rose up at the end of the year. Everything was good.

The woman could bring good luck!

Brittany nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Margaret.

Brittany asked with concern, "I heard that you were sick days before. Are you getting better now?"

Margaret sat next to Julian, touched her belly, and smiled obediently. "I’m much better now. Thank you for your concern."

"That’s good. Have the doctors pay more attention? If you feel tired, don’t run to the hospital. Ask them to come."

It was very rare for Brittany to say something like this.

Looking at Margaret’s stomach, marry smiled and took out a jade lock that had been her dowry.

The lock was made of silver jade with a pair of boys and girls on it. It was an especially blessed.

"Although this is not as valuable as Mom’s jade bracelet, it is also a gift of me as a grandmother. If you don’t mind, then accept it."

Margaret really hadn’t seen Marry many times, but almost every time they met, she could receive gifts.

Needless to say, Margaret really liked it.

Sally said, "No matter whether the gifts are valuable or not, they are the same as parents’ love for their children. Parents always want to give their children the best."

These words immediately caused the expressions of some people to change.

Aedan was a little unhappy. An adopted daughter was not important. However, Jessie had been brought up by Sally since she was a child. Sally had already seen Jessie as her own daughter.

Margaret immediately stopped talking and smiled without responding.

But Sally continued, "Margaret is about to have a child. You will understand a mother’s feelings. Who would be willing to separate from her own child?"

Margaret did not want to talk to her at first, but Sally always mentioned Jessie to her.

It was as if Margaret had done something to Jessie.

Margaret smiled. "Of course, my child is related to me by blood. Who else will care about my child if I don’t care?"

"Your child did not fell from your body, so stop talking here," Margaret said in heart.

When Sally was about to speak, she was warned by Aedan.

At this time, the servant rushed over and said, "Ralph is back."

Margaret was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at Marry and Julian.
