Katherine: “…” Are you sure you don’t know?
After Jacob went out, he picked up his little backpack and said to Katherine in a cliched way:
“Aunt Katherine, if you want to achieve great things, you need to be steady.”
Katherine: ” “You say you don’t understand, but I think you
…
understand better than anyone.
“You study hard, don’t lecture your aunt for no reason, I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice.”
After Katherine sent Jacob off, she immediately went to work at the White Family branch office, and also had someone investigate evidence of Andrea plagiarizing songs.
Maureen didn’t give up either.
She first called her assistant and had him inform the Entertainment
Agency about plagiarizing the tune in the company’s name.
Then she had the assistant keep the chat records from both sides as evidence.
Andrea’s new song “Beacon of Hope” soared to the top of major music download and search charts, and she herself made it to trending
topics.

Many netizens commented:
“Who said our Andie was out of talent?
Now that’s a slap in the face, right?”
“I’m not Andrea’s fan, but I really love this song.”
“This song sounds so mournful…..”
“Don’t you know the story behind it?
Andrea wrote this after waiting four years for Geoffrey–it’s her confession to him.
My heart aches for Andie, waiting all those years for Mr. Sutton. Now that his ex–wife passed away, she finally got her wish.”
In under a day, the song’s comments surpassed a million.
They never knew Maureen composed it during her three–year marriage to Geoffrey, while battling severe depression.
She wrote it for him after their wedding but never let him hear it.
Now it’s twisted into Andrea’s love song for Geoffrey… how laughable.
Today, Entertainment Agency’s buzzing with celebration for Andrea, wild with excitement.
Andrea never imagined that after spending four years becoming a pop star and another four years rising to A–list status, a single song would catapult her to the pinnacle of stardom in just one day.

Her eyes sparkled with unconcealed excitement as she scanned the endorsement invitations from top international brands her assistant had brought.
Securing even one of these coveted deals typically required other celebrities to work for over a decade–sometimes even a lifetime.
But her joy was short–lived.
Her assistant rushed in, urgency etched across her face.
“Andrea, Mr. Shi’s company just contacted us. They’re accusing our song of plagiarism and demanding immediate removal, a public apology, and compensation.
Andrea frowned.
She hadn’t expected to get caught so quickly.
After all, borrowing a foreign melody usually went unchallenged- international lawsuits were notoriously draining.
“Plagiarism?” she snorted contemptuously.
“Tell them to produce evidence first.”
With her current influence and the Sutton Family backing her, how could some obscure foreign music company dare to sue her?
Even if they tried, they wouldn’t win.
Maureen knew Andrea wouldn’t admit to plagiarism. She’d had her assistant email the Entertainment Agency mainly to show the public she’d warned them right after Andrea released the song, for when she

sued later.
It was Friday.
Maureen went to work at headquarters first, planning to pick up Jacob that evening and spend the weekend together.
At the kindergarten, it was break time.
The Sutton Family’s eldest grandson Willie had been thoroughly beaten into submission by Jacob last time. Now he answered whatever Jacob asked honestly.
“Are you really the Sutton Family’s heir?”
Jacob asked.
Playing with an eraser, Willie said proudly: “Of course.”
“My mom said I’m the Sutton Family’s eldest grandson. Everything in the Sutton Family will be mine someday.”
But Jacob didn’t believe it: “Then how come I heard the Sutton
Family’s boss is your uncle Geoffrey?”
Willie puffed up angrily: “My uncle doesn’t have sons. Mom says he’s got problems and can’t have kids.”
Then he lowered his voice: “Mom also said when my uncle dies, his inheritance goes to me too.”
“Oh.”
Jacob fell into thought.

He wondered what his scumbag dad would think hearing this.
Willie raised his little eyebrows: “Jacob, as long as you follow me, I guarantee you’ll live the high life.”
It was unclear whether he’d learned that line from his mother or from
Jacob pretended not to care, feigning disbelief.
“Anyone can brag.
The Sutton Family is huge. I refuse to believe it’s yours.”
“Your uncle Geoffrey is still young. He’ll definitely have kids. I even saw news about him marrying that actress, Ms. Ruan.”
“Once they marry, Ms. Ruan will give him a healthy baby boy. Then you won’t be the Sutton Family’s favorite child anymore.”
Willie immediately flushed with panic at Jacob’s words.
He hurled his modeling clay aside, his little mouth shouting angrily:
“You’re lying!
Mom told me Uncle has a condition! He can’t have children!”
Jacob kept teasing him: “What if your mom lied to you?”
