My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640

“Lorelai, you have one duty that you must fulfill. Your life can never be yours if you don’t fulfill it,” said Lorelai‘s father. 

“Dad, why am I not allowed to go back to the country? I want to see him. I miss him.” 

“No, you can‘t. You must quell your feelings and bide your time to appear in front of him.” 

“Lorelai, he‘s going to get married. You should come back to the country to attend his wedding.” 

Lorelai closed her eyes as tears streamed down her cheeks. 

Money was the root of all evil. 

Had the Presgrave Family not amassed such abundant wealth, there would be no ideas about them. Who wouldn‘t turn into a green–eyed monster when Elliot alone owned a fortune that was equivalent to that of a small country? 

Still, there were strict family rules that restrained the Presgraves. As though the rule–maker had been through the affliction of being surrounded by voracious family and friends, he had drawn up a customary system that was passed on generation by generation. 

In order to avoid complicated situations and power struggles, working in the Presgrave Group was off–limits to the Presgraves. Therefore, it was reasonable to say that Elliot possessed every penny the family had, whereas the others could only establish their own business. They couldn‘t enjoy one bit of the money that the Presgrave Group brought in. 

Even though they had achieved success in every industry thanks to the family‘s influence, a shining star was undeniably pale in comparison to the bright moon. 

The greedy frog in them had been fed little by little as the days went by, hence the strong desire to own everything. Like the avaricious ministers of the country, they were approaching closer and closer to the throne to take over it and hog everything. 

Nonetheless, the family and the family honor had always been one; the comprehensive system had included rules that could protect the other members of the family. Thus, they were never neglected despite the rigid rules. 

It was Elliot‘s wedding, where all of the elderly family members—the greedy snakes–were present, and beneath the harmonious facade were calculative schemes. 

She thought Jared could grow up happily without worries and marry someone he loved in the future. Given his intelligence and capability, it would be a no–brainer for him to get a decent job like a doctor or lawyer. Yet, those little shoulders of his were already bearing the weight now.
