Ellie said, "The head of Vertex Innovations Group is a bold boss. I''ve interacted with him before; he''s a man of integrity and wouldn''t do anything disgusting. His invitation was just a friendly gesture between peers, but people below him misunderstood."


    The secretary asked, "Mrs. Chase, how can you be sure that this wasn''t a directive from the head of Vertex Innovations Group, letting his subordinates take the me?"


    Ellie smiled but didn''t speak too bluntly.


    That evening, after thest incident, the head of Vertex Innovations Group personally came to her house withvish gifts to apologize.


    First, he felt deeply indebted for humiliating a fellow boss. Second, he didn''t dare offend Ellie''s husband and son.


    The secretary left, and Ellie''s phone rang again.


    She was constantly upied, but this time it was her sister, Be Wright, Jonathan''s mother, on the line.


    She answered and put the phone to her ear, "Hello, Be."


    "Ellie, how''s your health? Is it serious? Jonathan came home saying you were quite ill and had been to the hospital several times. If you''re not feeling well, take a break and rest for a while. Let Jonathan manage thepany for you; he has always been loyal to you."


    "Jonathan exaggerated. I have amon case of breast hypersia. At our age, it''s normal to have some health issues. Don''t make a fuss," Ellie refused.


    Be said a few more words of advice and then hung up.


    After the call ended, Ellie frowned.


    She dialed the internal line to reach her secretary outside. "Tell the head of Vertex Innovations Group that I will attend the opening with my daughter." "Yes, Mrs. Chase."


    Thinking about Be''s call and Jonathan''s recent behavior, Ellie dialed the internal line to reach the finance manager, Benjamin Hill. "Benjamin,e up for a moment."


    In the evening, Ellie drove home, and Sebastian and Timothy were already discussing business matters.


    When Ellie got home, Sebastian and Timothy stopped their discussion. "Mom, have you eaten?" Sebastian asked.


    Ellie nodded. "I ate with my subordinates. Have you and your dad eaten?"


    Sebastian nodded as well.


    She put down her bag and sat on the sofa. "Molly was talking about you this morning. If you have time tomorrow, go see her," she said.


    "I talked to her on the phonest night until she fell asleep. What''s she still talking about?" Sebastian said with a happy smile.


    Mentioning Molly, he couldn''t help but smile.


    Ellie was a bit tired. She sat in the living room, holding a cushion and closing her eyes to rest. "Sebastian, don''t coborate with rtives and friends in the future." Sebastian said, "It''s not up to me. What''s wrong, Mom?"


    Timothy also looked at Ellie curiously.


    Ellie sat up and started chatting with Timothy and Sebastian about family matters. "I''ve been going to the hospital frequentlytely. Somehow, Jonathan found out and started trying to meddle in the finance department. As a marketing manager, he even wants to control my finances. How greedy!"


    "This afternoon, Be called me, suggesting I let Jonathan manage thepany, pretending to care about me but really wanting her son to take over."


    "I had lunch with Benjamin today to understand recentpany events. Jonathan has been getting close to other shareholders, giving gifts and hosting dinners, bypassing me."


    "When he first joined thepany, I watched him grow bit by bit, thinking he could help Sebastian when he graduated and took over thepany. Now, I''ve raised a wolf by my side." Sebastian knew that Be''s family also had their eyes on the MS Group, waiting to benefit from it. He didn''t expect Be to be eyeing thepany as well.


    Ellie said, "Ever since they found out Molly isn''t my biological daughter and that Sebastian can''t engage in business because he''s a cop, people around me have started coveting mypany." Sebastian said, "Even if Molly isn''t your biological daughter, the MS Group will still be hers in the end."


    Timothyforted Ellie, "With me and Sebastian here, no one can take your things."


    Ellie said, "People always protect their children. Even if Sebastian doesn''t want the MS Group, it must be Molly''s. No one else has the right to touch it."


    "Next week, Vertex Innovations Group is opening a new store. I n to take Molly to the event. I want to tell everyone that the MS Group''s future belongs to Molly."


    Timothy looked at the suddenly energized Ellie with deep affection, "Next week, let''s dress Molly up beautifully so everyone knows she''s our daughter and the future heir of thepany."


    Since Sebastian became a police officer, he had given up his right to inherit thepany unless he removed his uniform. But when he first became a cop, Sebastian clearly told the family that thepany would go to Molly, and he wanted nothing.


    Thus, when Molly finished high school and chose her major, the whole family unanimously decided she should study business.


    Eighteen-year-old Molly, fresh out of high school, waved her hand nonchntly, "Mom, Dad, and Brother, you can choose whatever you want for me, as long as I don''t run out of money in the future."


    With Ellie''s MS Group, she certainly wouldn''tck money.


    The three chatted for a while longer before going their separate ways to rest.


    After taking a bath, Elliey in bed, feeling relieved. "Luckily, it''s just breast hypersia. I was most afraid it was breast cancer. Molly is only a sophomore in college and still doesn''t know much. I wouldn''t be at ease getting treatment." Timothyy beside Ellie. "You still need to take your medicine. Didn''t the doctor say your condition is due to overwork? If it were a breast tumor or breast cancer, you wouldn''t escape surgery."


    Recently, Ellie had felt difort in her chest and found a lump. After a hospital check-up, she had been taking medication, fearing it might be cancer. Since the diagnosis wasn''t confirmed, she didn''t tell Molly and Sebastian to avoid worrying them.


    Ellie said, "I need to follow the doctor''s advice and keep a happy mood."


    "With your temper, that might be hard. Tomorrow, I''ll write a note and hang it in your office to remind you: Stay Happy."


    Ellie yfully pped Timothy''s back. "You''re impossible. Honey, find some time to visit the Olteran family with me to see Vera. I haven''t seen her since she got pregnant. I didn''t have time to talk to her at the hospitalst time." "For you, Ellie, I''ll make time."


    Ellie pinched Timothy''s shoulder. "You''re so unserious."


    The next day, Molly received a call from Ellie. "Mom, what do you need me to do?"


    "Come over so I can make you a dress," Ellie said. "Have lunch at my ce."


    Molly agreed and headed straight to the MS Group after school.


    As she entered the elevator, she saw Jonathan. "Jonathan, are you going to lunch?"


    Jonathan was surprised to see Molly, as she was rarely at thepany. "Molly, what brings you here?"


    "My mom called me," Molly said quickly as the elevator arrived. "Jonathan, go have your lunch. I''m off to find my mom."


    Jonathan watched Molly''s retreating figure, deep in thought.
