Chapter 3657


    Mrs. Ormond had heard a bit about the Labbe family in Havenmill. She said, “Wealthy families often


    fight, both openly and secretly, bing enemies. It’s rare to find a family that doesn’t have internal


    struggles. Even close rtives can turn against each other for personal gain.”


    Elora replied, “During a business trip, I heard the Farrell family in Jensburg is having major issues.


    The previous matriarch’s descendants and the current matriarch are fighting over control of the


    family. Some even say the new matriarch killed the old one. Who knows what’s true? But it’s a big


    deal, and people are talking.”


    Mrs. Ormond sighed, “We shouldn’t worry about other families. Our own family must stay united.


    We can’t let division tear us apart.


    Elora, we need to rx and not get too involved in small things. The more we care about every little


    issue, the more likely conflict will arise. We’re all family, and it’s better if everyone is happy.


    Since there aren’t many men in our family, we must stick together. If we fight among ourselves, our


    enemies will sit back and watch us fall apart. They won’t have to do anything, just wait for us to


    destroy each other.”


    Elora agreed, “Mom, I know. My sisters and I are close, and they respect me as the eldest. Even


    our uncles and aunts are reasonable people.


    When we marry, we’ll choose good men, not the kind who just want our family’s wealth. We won’t let


    anyonee between us and cause us to fight.”


    Elora was a seasoned businesswoman, running argepany. She had been in the industry for


    years and was always rational. Her younger sister and cousin were also practical, not easily swayed


    by emotions.


    “Good, thinking like that puts us at ease. Everyone trusts and relies on you,” Mrs. Ormond said with


    satisfaction, proud of Elora’s leadership.


    But Mrs. Ormond worried about finding a suitable husband for Elora. “You’re so exceptional that I


    don’t know who would be worthy of you. There’s no one in our city good enough. I don’t want you to


    marry far away, but I also don’t see any strong men willing to marry into our family. I’m so concerned


    about your future.”


    Elora took a sip of water that Joly had poured for her and smiled. “Mom, I’ve told you before, I’m not


    in a hurry. I’ll let fate take its course. When the time is right, I’ll find a good man. If I don’t, then I


    won’t marry and you can take care of me forever.”


    Mrs. Ormond replied, “It’s not about us supporting you. Your parents will grow old and won’t be


    around forever. Your brothers and sisters will marry and have their own lives, and you’ll be left


    alone. It’s lonely without apanion. Marriage is about having someone to talk to and grow old


    with.”


    Elora, unfazed, said, “When my brothers and sisters have children, I’ll treat them like my own and


    build strong bonds. When I’m old, they’ll be there for me, and when I die, they’ll handle my funeral.


    These days, even those without family don’t have to worry about being taken care of. A quick call to


    the funeral home, and it’s all sorted out. It’s not asplicated as it used to be.” N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
