Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Daphne was somewhat annoyed. Every time she wanted to do something, someone else would snatch it away first. She also didn't have the courage to take it back from others.

That was the end of Shi Bai's matter; she raised her hand and waved her assistant away.

Sitting on the soft sofa, she felt somewhat helpless.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Lydia walked in carrying a cardboard box.

Daphne frowned when she saw her daughter's lack of manners. "How many times have I told you to knock before entering the house? Why don't you have any manners at all?"

"Mom, why are we still talking about rules? Would you like to try some dumplings? I had someone go to Qiyuan Restaurant and managed to get a whole batch."

Upon hearing this, Daphne's forehead veins bulged with anger. "Are you crazy? Going to that despicable guy's restaurant to sell food? Throw it away!"

"do not want!"

Lydia was Daphne's only child. Daphne was in poor health and was told by doctors that she could not have any more children after giving birth to Lydia.

It was for this reason that she was able to obtain the surname Davis for Lydia. Of course, because she only had one child, Daphne doted on Lydia immensely, spoiling her to the point of being somewhat unruly.

"Mom, do you know how hard it was to get these dumplings? My assistant went to queue up before the restaurant even opened and waited for two hours to buy them," Lydia said, protecting the dumplings.

Daphne sighed, “Do you know how low-class the food in his restaurant is? Those filthy slum dwellers can’t even afford a loaf of bread, and he’s giving them some of his food for free. If you eat his food, you’ll become as low-class as those guys. Throw it away!”

"Mom, what you're saying is strange. What's so great about food? Aren't foods just a matter of whether they taste good or not? They're all just for filling your stomach, so tasting good is the most important thing. Mom, this really tastes good, try one."

Lydia forcefully stuffed a dumpling into Daphne's mouth. Daphne really couldn't do anything with her daughter and had no choice but to eat this food that she considered low-class.

However, as soon as the juices from the dumplings burst in her mouth and the delicious flavor lingered, her resistance and disgust vanished instantly, and even her eyes became much clearer.

Lydia smiled as she observed her mother's reaction, "Isn't it delicious?"

"Hmph, it's just so-so, still low-grade food. I heard he gave four to each of the poor people in the church for free. How interesting. So many people want to buy it, why doesn't he just sell it? Why give it away for free?"

“Maybe it’s because he’s kind.” Lydia said, putting a dumpling into her mouth.

Daphne glanced at the dumplings in the box, then watched Lydia put one dumpling after another into her mouth. This unfilial daughter, why isn't she feeding her dumplings now?

Daphne pursed her lips and said, "Can kindness put food on the table? What's the point of opening a restaurant if he's just giving people food for free like this?"

"Mom, you weren't involved in the plan to kill them, were you?" Lydia suddenly asked.

Daphne scoffed, "You think I would do something so risky? It was probably Ryan who did it. I provoked him that night at the family gathering, and given his personality, he couldn't possibly do nothing."

“Mom, let’s stop doing anything. Noah is much better as the head of the family than Uncle Ryan. You know that, he even dared to kill his own brother. We can do better under Noah, but under Uncle Ryan, we probably wouldn’t even be able to work for the Davis family company.”

Daphne naturally understood this, and she said, "Didn't you ever think about becoming the head of the Davis family? Even if you have the Davis surname now, your status among the family members is still the lowest. Didn't you think about how they would treat you once they've secured their position? Lydia, who do you think I'm doing all this for? I'm doing it all for you."

“Mom, we can’t beat Uncle Ryan and Noah. As far as I can see, Noah is much stronger than Uncle Ryan. If you keep causing trouble for Noah, we’re really doomed. Besides, if you keep provoking Uncle Ryan and Noah to fight, when Uncle Ryan becomes the head of the family, he might think you’re a troublemaker and kill you.”

Daphne paused, looked up at Lydia, and frowned.

She felt that Lydia's words actually made sense; Ryan's temperament was unpredictable, and it was possible for him to suddenly kill someone.

Lydia fed her a dumpling and said, "Mom, isn't the food from the Eastern Continent delicious? When spring comes in April and the snow melts, we'll find the Robinson family's horse team and have them take us on a trip to the Eastern Continent. We'll eat even more delicious food there."

"Go to the Eastern Continent?" Daphne looked at her with a hint of helplessness. "You really have no ambition at all?"

"No, no matter who is the head of the family, they will give us living expenses. As long as we have money, that's enough. Sitting in the position of the head of the family means fighting with each other every day, fighting with family members and fighting with outsiders. It's exhausting. It's better to use the money to eat and have fun."

Daphne was somewhat persuaded. Fighting Noah Leon alone was already exhausting enough. After becoming the head of the family, she would also have to guard against the other three families.

Losing to Noah now is no big deal; life goes on as usual. But if the Davis family loses to the other three families after becoming the head of the family, then the Davis family will decline.

Suddenly, she realized that she really couldn't bear such a heavy burden.

"Mom, there might be many handsome boys like Qi Yuan in Dongzhou. Don't you want to use your beauty to have them both?" Lydia suddenly whispered in Daphne's ear.

Daphne beamed upon hearing this, "You silly girl, you use all your cleverness on me. If you could use that same cleverness on Noah and Ryan, wouldn't you be able to sit on the head of this family?"

"You're my mom, I just want to please you. Noah and Uncle Ryan aren't really close, they can do whatever they want. So, Mom, how about we go to Dongzhou next spring?"

“Go ahead, go ahead. If you keep saying you won’t go, I’ll keep nagging you until next spring,” Daphne said.

Lydia chuckled. "I knew Mom loved me the most. You can have the rest of the dumplings. I'm going back to work now."

Daphne looked at the box and saw that there were only three dumplings left. She smiled indulgently and said, "There were so many dumplings, and you only gave me three. This girl."

While eating a dumpling, Daphne's thoughts drifted far away.

From a young age, she was told that only by becoming the head of the Davis family could she be the strongest and most powerful in the family. So she studied hard and read books. After realizing that she could not compare to her two older brothers no matter what, she gave up and lived a carefree life.

She thought that after losing one of her brothers, she would have a chance, but then Noah appeared out of nowhere. Daphne sighed, "Am I really never going to win even once?"
