Rumi immediately dropped the affectionate demeanor she had shown Evelyn moments ago, shock written all over her face.

She had expected Evelyn to struggle with how to divide the family assets.

But she had never imagined that she would be so foolish as to hand everything over to an outsider

“And why not?” Evelyn asked calmly. “The Young Family and the Noir Family have been close, friends for generations. When it comes to running a company, the Noirs have far more experience than we do. Do you expect the members of the Young Family to manage it? Do you think they’re capable?”

Her reasoning was clear. She knew very well that the Young Family currently had no one truly suited for

business.

What she didn’t tell Rumi was that everything would eventually be handed over to Julie Young.

Rumi fell silent. She really didn’t know how to run a company, and Rupert had never taken over the family business either, choosing instead to become a newspaper editor.

The company had always been managed by trusted people within the Young Family.

“But that still doesn’t make sense! Iris, she-”

Evelyn looked at her daughter, who was nearly pacing with anxiety, then turned to look out the window, disappointment filling her eyes.

“Do you think I don’t know about the things you’ve done? Rupert promised that once he inherited the family assets, he would help you do that thing, didn’t he? If you inherited the estate yourself, you could do it personally.”

She did not want to destroy the Young Family.

“What did I do wrong?”

At last, Rumi stopped holding back. She abruptly stood up and walked over to Evelyn, looking down at her.

“Mom, you were the one who wouldn’t let me be with him back then! And now you won’t even let me take better care of his child?”

“Enough!”

The moment that old matter was brought up again, Evelyn’s expression darkened.

“Haven’t you remembered everything I told you? This matter is never to be mentioned again! Have you forgotten the way people talked behind your back because of those events?”

“And now she is already the Noir Family’s adopted daughter. She has nothing to do with you anymore! If the Noir Family ever learns the truth, what position would that put them in?”

Covering her face, Rumi whispered, “I didn’t want it to happen either. It’s just that Chloe… the older she

ts, the more she looks like him. Every time I see her, I see that face.”

“This matter ends here,” Evelyn said sternly. “The Young Family is already the weakest among the rea major families. If the Noir Family finds out that Chloe’s adoption was arranged deliberately by you what do you think will happen?”

“1…”

Rumi had no response. In the end, she could only sit back down resentfully.

Evelyn sighed. “I don’t have much time left. At the very least, while I’m still here, treat Julie wel and don’t do anything inappropriate. Is that so difficult?”

Rumi said nothing.

At the Noir residence, Iris had just returned home when she noticed that everyone in Professor Joe’s research group was chatting excitedly.

[School starts soon!]

[Yeah! Those of you who didn’t stay on campus, hurry back! The lab can’t function without you!]

[Another year, another batch of freshmen!]

Only then did Iris realize that the new semester was just around the corner.

“Iris, are you sure you don’t want us to arrange a private villa–style dorm for you? Capital University really does offer them,” Eleanor asked with concern.

She worried that Iris had become accustomed to staying at home and might find it inconvenient to suddenly share a room with others.

“We already had someone arrange a private dorm for Chloe. You don’t really like talking to people, so living alone would probably be more comfortable, right?”

Iris shook her head.

“No need. Not this time.”

When she had studied abroad, she had lived in a private dormitory. This time, at Capital University, she wanted to experience a different lifestyle.

“It’s a good thing the child wants this,” Richard said approvingly. “It’ll give Iris a chance to make more friends.”

After spending so much time with her, he had come to understand that this daughter of his was exceptionally intelligent. He already intended to give her a share of the family business in the future.
