    Ste froze for a moment as if she understood. But she did not.


    Felicity spoke even more straightforwardly, "What my mom meant was that we must have a child. If


    Stinky Cucumber can''t give me a child, then my mom will never agree to our rtionship, no matter


    what.


    "She needs someone to inherit her ''throne''. I''m not up to the task, so she ns to have a little


    sessor."


    Ste was speechless.


    ''It seems like our roles are switched,'' she thought. Then, she asked bewilderedly, "What ''throne'' does


    your mom have?"


    Felicity hesitated for a moment before pointing at the Deron Supermart at the side. "Can you see that


    supermarket over there?"


    Ste nced over, looked at it, and thought, ''What does one of the top ten supermarket chains in the


    country have to do with her mom?''


    Then, she heard Felicity continuing, "She founded Deron Supermart. Also, she has a lot of vegetable


    and fruit ntations, livestock breeding bases, various beverage and meat processing factories..."


    Ste was so shocked that she could not utter a word.


    Felicity was always so low-key and even more financially savvy than her. Ste had always thought


    that she came from an average working-ss family and never considered that she might be a secret


    wealthy heiress.


    Looking back, Ste noticed some signs. For instance, Felicity always had a Deron shopping card, and


    the products there were not cheap. While she hesitated when shopping elsewhere, she hardly ever


    checked prices at Deron.


    Also, on one of Ste''s birthdays, she gifted her a shopping card from Deron Supermart worth five


    thousand dors. However, Ste did not dare to ept it as she thought Felicity was drunk and had


    mistakenly reloaded the wrong amount.


    Moreover, when Dahlia froze Ste''s card, and she urgently needed to pay Rainee''s medical fees,


    Felicity gave her a million dors in no time.


    Ste did not think much of it when Felicity said she got the money from her friend.


    Later, she realized that one million was not a small amount, and given how urgent it was, even a good


    friend would need to consider the other party''s ability to repay such arge sum.


    So, Ste figured Felicity most likely got the money from her family.


    Ste massaged her temples, still digesting the news of her best friend suddenly bing the heiress


    of Deron Supermart. ’Hold up, why are you putting yourself through the hardships of a regr person


    when your family is so rich?"


    Felicity frowned. ''My mom is rich, not me. She never wanted me toe to Rivera. She wanted me to


    stay in our hometown after graduation to take over her business. But I know what I’m capable of, and I


    simply can''t do business.


    "We had a huge fight because we had different opinions, so she stopped giving me allowance right


    after I graduated. You know very well I can never stand to be treated like this, so I told her that I won''t


    go back home until I be a sessful scriptwriter!"


    The period right after graduating was the toughest for Felicity. Ste had helped her a lot during this


    time. Back then, she had just married into the Kane family and was treading on thin ice in the house.


    However, when Felicity asked for her help, she did not hesitate to use her savings to help her out of her


    predicament.


    Over the years, although Felicity had not achieved anything remarkable, she got herself a stable job.


    She was already very happy that she got to work in the industry she loved and had a friend like Ste.


    Ste was speechless. "You could''ve lived like a princess, yet you chose to be a corporate ve?"


    Felicity said, "My mom was deeply hurt by her previous rtionship and felt that nothing in this world


    can be relied upon except money. This is why she works so hard to make money. But deep down, she


    knows that money alone can''t do everything.


    "Especially toward kids, money can breedziness and discourage ambition. So, she would always


    give me just enough for my living expenses. When I was in school, I boasted to my ssmates that I


    could get anything from Deron for free.


    "When I got home that day, my mom chased me with a broom for two miles and gave me a two-hour


    lecture I''d never forget. She''s afraid that having money will have a bad influence, so she''s been very


    strict with my finances.


    "As time passed and she realized I became independent, she became worried about other things.


    When Stinky Cucumber lied to me about being impotent back then, I tested my mom by asking if she

    could ept it if I didn''t have any children. This is probably why she immediately connected the dots


    herself and made that request.


    "She wants a child to inherit our family business, but I know that is not her main concern. My cousins


    are doing very well in thepany, and my mom has also been gradually delegating authority. Since I


    don''t have any siblings, she''s just worried that I might be alone if something were to happen to her."


    Although Ste disagreed with using one''s perspective as a parent to force their children into marriage


    and having children, she could understand it from Florence''s point of view.


    It was impossible for a mother not to worry about her child as long as she was still breathing.
