Chapter 102: Alex’s Mother

“Mommy, I want to eat Uncle Tommy’s food too!” Little Penny whispered, pleading. “No!” Rita placed a plate of boiled greens and broccoli in front of Penny. Penny was, after all, her meticulously raised vegetarian child. She strictly controlled her daughter’s portions to keep her slim.

Lily approached, carrying a bowl of stir–fried Chinese cabbage and pan–fried crispy tofu.

Penny, this is for you.”

addressed Rita, “It’s completely vegetarian, no meat at all.”

Rita remained unconvinced, stirring the cabbage and tofu several times with her chopsticks.

“This cabbage is stir–fried in oil, it’s unhealthy! The sauce on the tofu will make you fat!”

Jerry chimed in, “Let Penny eat some.” He’d seen Rita feeding Penny nothing but boiled broccoli every day; even looking at it made him want to vomit.

Rita fetched a bowl of water, rinsing the cabbage and tofu several times before finally letting Penny eat.

Several wealthy matrons, seeing their children sitting with Lily, eating with such gusto, actively sought to cozy up to Evelyn.

“Evelyn, here’s a business card for my recently opened luxury store. Feel free to bring Lily by anytime, it’s on me.”

Another matron squeezed in, “Evelyn, you’re a celebrity now! You’ll definitely need jewelry for events. We just got a new batch of ultra–pure gemstones. Come by anytime, design and processing fees are waived for you.”

Evelyn accepted several cards, surrounded by the matrons asking how she managed to get Lily to eat so well.

fommy saw his classmates sitting in a row, happily devouring their food. His spicy strips suddenly seemed less appealing. He reminded himself that it was the food his poor, pathetic uncle had made, and he scoffed at it. His ridiculously pretentious adoptive parents were poor, so he wouldn’t touch Frank’s cooking! He mentally noted everyone eating Frank’s food; he wouldn’t play with them ever again!

As Jerry passed Evelyn, she stopped him.

‘Mr. Green, about Ohm Tech you mentioned…after careful consideration, I’ve decided to join.”

Jerry was overjoyed.

“Evelyn, Ohm Tech is the right choice!”

Evelyn subtly smiled, appearing completely open with Jerry.“To get a better position and higher salary at Ohm Tech, I need to offer them something significant.”

Jerry said, “Evelyn, you could join my research lab!”

Evelyn shook her head, smiling.“I’ve been out of school for five years, I’m not used to research anymore. Ohm Tech is interested in acquiring my father’s company. If I lead the acquisition and deliver impressive results, they might offer me a better salary.”

Her smile brightened.“Mr. Green, could you perhaps put in a good word with Ohm Tech’s higher–ups, so I can smoothly take over the Jax Tech acquisition project?”

His exposure only made him more assertive,

Jerry didn’t want to offend Caleb, but he also wanted Evelyn to join Ohm Tech. Ohm Tech’s executives are highly qualified individuals with profound cultural backgrounds. They’re approachable and friendly, I had a wonderful conversation with their leadership Evelyn thoughtfully observed Jerry. Something about him felt off.

Jerry tried to comfort Caleb “Mr. Reed, you two are divorced. Evelyn won’t work at Reed Corporation with you, just let it go.”

Caleb felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. Did he need Jerry’s consolation? He’d always despised Jerry, a man who’d abandon his own surname, kneel before Rita, slap himself, and throw his dignity on the ground for her to trample on. To Caleb, Jerry wasn’t even a man. Yet Evelyn preferred the likes of Jerry over Reed Corporation.

“You two are birds of a feather,” the man sneered cruelly. Two people from the countryside, desperately clawing their way into the Reed family; they were the same kind.

Jerry’s face darkened. He’d been a son–in–law to the Reed family for six years, constantly trying to shed his “country bumpkin” image, only to be publicly humiliated by Caleb.

Caleb declared decisively to Evelyn, “You won’t find a better job than Reed Corporation!”

Evelyn smiled, “I spent seven years at Reed Corporation, walking all the wrong paths. From now on, my life will be smooth sailing.”

Caleb’s face froze. Evelyn was simply putting on a brave face!

At that moment, a teacher arrived in a two–seater sightseeing car. She spoke to someone in the back seat, and after a while, a child cautiously peeked out, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. Suddenly, he spotted Evelyn, his eyes lighting up.

Alex hopped out of the car, clutching his little backpack. He longed to fly to Evelyn’s side. But there were too many people, children’s laughter, adults‘ conversations; it was overwhelming. Invisible walls seemed to block his path.
