I was sitting comfortably on the couch, surrounded by six young male dancers. Two of them, one on each side, took my hands and placed them on their chests. As I felt the pulsing of their young hearts, I realized what a miserable life I had been living before. After adopting Lily, I never remarried or accepted any man’s advances for the sake of providing her with a healthy growing environment. I wanted her to grow up in a comfortable greenhouse, but my efforts only resulted in her saying, “You’re just jealous of me because you can’t get a man.” Thinking about this made my blood boil. I took out a stack of cash from my purse and held it in my hand. Whenever a dancer made a move I liked or said something pleasing, I would tuck the money into their waistbands or shirt pockets. In the past, I had invested hundreds of thousands in that ungrateful brat only to see it go down the drain. Now, spending just a few thousand was bringing me so much joy. This blissful feeling lingered until I heard a familiar voice behind me— “I never thought the usually cold and aloof Ms. Yates would come to a place like this to unwind.” Samuel Sutton walked in front of me, eyeing the boys around me one by one. “So this is your type. Actually, I’m not much different from them. Why don’t you consider me, Ms. Yates?” “You’re the esteemed CEO of Sutton Corp. Why are you lowering yourself in front of me?” I waved my hand, signaling everyone in the private room to leave. Then I poured drinks into two glasses on the table. “Your timing is perfect. Join me for a drink. I’ve had enough fun for today and just need a drinking buddy now.” “Sure, drink as much as you want. If you pass out, I’ll take you home.” Many of the eligible bachelors I had missed out on in the past were now key figures in various industries, and Samuel was one of them. Seven years ago when I first met Samuel, his Sutton Corporation hadn’t yet broken away from the family business. To me, he was just an immature kid, so when he confessed his feelings, I rejected him without hesitation. But over the years, Samuel has always been hovering around me. I watched him grow from a little boy into a big-shot CEO, and he witnessed my transformation during this period. The next morning when I sobered up, I found that the internet was flooded with gossip about me. #Sutton Corp CEO single for years, turns out his heart belongs to Yates Corp’s CEO sister “Did you call me because you think the gossip is too outrageous?” Samuel asked. “Not really. I’m just curious how someone could coincidentally capture us leaving the club together and then snap photos of you sending me home.” Samuel burst out laughing, “You’re so smart. I forgot that your villa is so secluded that normal people can’t find it. Whoever took those photos must know you very well.” Even without Samuel pointing it out, I knew the creator of this gossip was Lily. Because of this rumor, many strangers online had a negative impression of me. Some even targeted my hotel operations, flooding review sites with bad ratings. Just as I was starting to face some trouble, Lily showed up at my doorstep to confront me. “Mom, look at those classless people online, actually cursing you for being an old cow eating young grass at your age.” Lily covered her mouth and laughed, “But I’m different. You’re only seven years older than Mr. Sutton, and you take such good care of yourself, even looking younger than me.” I cut her off abruptly, “Get to the point.” “As long as you agree to let me come back to the Yates family, I can help you clarify that this rumor is false. The photos were all taken from misleading angles. This way, you won’t be cyberbullied anymore.” Lily showed me several photos on her phone. Compared to the deliberately angled shots in the gossip, these looked much more normal. Seeing Lily’s expectant face, I smiled. Then I pushed her away. “From now on, this person is not allowed within the villa’s premises, and no one in the villa is permitted to contact her without authorization.” After closing the door, Lily started shouting and banging on it outside. “Sheila Yates! Just wait until everyone curses you for being shameless, seducing a younger man! You’ll go down in history as a disgrace!” Finally showing her true colors, huh? Watching Lily’s figure gradually disappear on the security cameras, I had someone follow her to see what she was up to this time with her big scheme. To my surprise, Lily’s next target was Sutton Corporation, specifically Samuel’s office. “I know you’ve always liked Sheila Yates. What’s so good about her? She’s rejected you over ten times, yet you’re still so devoted to her.” “Mr. Sutton, do you know how many female fans you have? They can’t accept you dating a woman seven years older than you. I’ve thought of a perfect solution for both you and Sheila.” Samuel listened patiently to Lily’s speech before slowly asking, “Tell me your plan.” Encouraged by Samuel’s response, Lily immediately perked up. She even sat down on the sofa next to Samuel, hooking her arm around his. “The solution is to tell everyone that you and I are actually the ones dating.” “I’m Sheila Yates’ only publicly known daughter. If you announce our relationship, Sheila would become your mother-in-law. It makes perfect sense for a son-in-law to send his drunk mother-in-law home, right?” Lily kept observing Samuel’s reaction, thinking her plan had been accepted since he hadn’t shown any anger. But just as she was about to get more intimate, two security guards burst in and lifted her up.
