    This marked the Wilson family’s inaugural night at the vi in Thompson First, and each member felt a profound sense of ceremony in their hearts.


    Lady Wilson gathered everyone in the living room, where they settled onto the opulent European-style sofa. She appeared to have regained themanding presence she had when she was at the helm of the Wilson Group.


    A smile adorned her face, radiating both warmth and authority.


    Surveying the room, she spoke calmly, “Today symbolizes a significant victory for us. While the Wilson Group has yet to reim its former prominence, our family is making strides. This alone calls for a celebration.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Everyone nodded enthusiastically, though Hannah’s expression was notably sour amidst the excitement of the others.


    Hannah was beginning to feel the repercussions of the seafood she had eaten, with an ufortable itching sensation that left her restless.


    Lady Wilson cast a disdainful nce in Hannah’s direction and remarked, “Hannah, you’re an adult now. Why are you behaving like a maggot flitting between stages of a pupa?”


    Hannah’s face turned even more ashen at thement.


    Such a harsh description from Lady Wilson,paring her daughter-inw to a maggot and a pupa, was utterly unexpected.


    Despite her feelings, Hannah dared not show any defiance or disrespect towards the matriarch. Instead, she replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mom. My stomach is just a little upset…”<fn33f5> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find?novel</fn33f5>


    Lady Wilson shot her a sharp look before continuing, “I suspect you overindulged at the coal mine. You devoured that seafood hotpot as if you hadn’t eaten in three years. How could your stomach handle it?”


    Feeling even more downcast, Hannah nodded in agreement, saying, “You’re right, Mom.”


    With little patience left for further discussion, Lady Wilson pressed on, “Now that our family is on the rise, we must ensure the same for the Wilson Group. It’s crucial that we resume normal operations once Mr. Webb invests in ourpany.”


    Turning her gaze to Christopher, she stated, “Christopher, when the Wilson Group gets back on its feet, you will take on the role of business manager, overseeing all future coborations and partnerships.”


    Christopher eagerly replied, “Understood, Mom! I’ll give it my all!”


    Lady Wilson nodded with approval before addressing Harold, who sat nearby. “Harold, you will be the future director of the Wilson Group. You need to shed your careless and frivolous demeanor; we can’t have anyone viewing you as a joke, especially not ire. Do you understand?”


    Harold quickly responded, “I understand, Grandma!”


    Next, Lady Wilson turned her attention to Wendy: “Wendy, you are young and beautiful. In your previous rtionship with Gerald, you spent all your time ying and having fun. It’s time to step up and contribute to the Wilson Group. I believe you should take on the role of public rtions manager, handling our market and customer rtions.”


    Wendy nodded obediently, replying, “Of course, Grandma. I’ll listen to you.”


    “Good,” Lady Wilson said, satisfied. “All of you must remain vignt and invest your full effort this time. The Wilson family has worked hard for this opportunity, and we cannot afford to let it slip away. Do you understand what I’m saying?”


    “Yes, we understand!”


    The response was filled with enthusiasm from everyone present.


    Christopher quickly added, “Mom, shouldn’t we find a role for Hannah too?”


    Lady Wilson scoffed and replied, “Hannah will stay home to manage the household. Someone needs to oversee things at home.”


    Without giving Hannah a chance to voice her opinion, Lady Wilson stood up and dered, “That’s enough for now. I’m heading upstairs to rest. You all should turn in early as well.”


    Harold and Wendy were eager to retreat to their rooms, excited by the luxurious décor and high standards of the vipared to their previous living situations.


    As soon as the olddy left, they both rose and headed to their respective rooms.


    Christopher looked at his wife and suddenly felt a spark of intimacy. He quickly said, “Wife, let’s go back to our room and rest as well.”
