"Do you want me to help you make breakfast?" Rudy asked. "You have never made breakfast for six people, right?"

Lucy was washing the vegetables and placing them on another plate.

"Do you have plans for today?" Lucy asked without stopping.

"I think I do."

"Hmm. Then go take a bath first. Help me afterward."

'I can wash myself with a snap without using a drop of water, but the feeling of water hitting my body is something I can't miss.' He uttered inwardly.

"Alright. I will be back in a few minutes. Don't peek, okay?"

Lucy's hands stopped, and she turned around to look at Rudy. She raised her brow with a disappointed look on her face but didn't say a word. It seemed as though she wanted to say something but chose not to.

Rudy walked past Angelica, who was watching their interaction while sipping water from the glass.

When Rudy reached the living room, Angelica finished drinking the water and followed him.

Rudy shook his head and gestured to her. He knew what Angelica was planning. She wanted to join Rudy in the bathroom, but that was obviously a bad idea.

As soon as Rudy turned her down, she puffed her cheeks and sat on the couch with an angry look on her face.

Rudy went upstairs to his room to grab his clothes and then went to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Rebecca was counting the cash on the register as she had to report it to the manager.

"Becca, you can go home now," Someone said from the office.

"I am not leaving. My shift ends after 2 hours."

"You are the only person who doesn't want to go home early. Don't you have family waiting for you?"

Rebecca furrowed her brows and finished counting the cash. She closed and locked the register with no change in her countenance.

She then walked towards the office and opened the door before saying, "Why are you even here, Eleanor?"

Since Eleanor was back in town and she had nothing to do, she came to her store to pass the time.

"What do you mean by why am I here? This is my store. I can come here whenever I want," Eleanor replied casually.

"Out of all your stores, you decided to come here? I am sure it would have been better if you had gone to your stores in the city."

Eleanor shrugged her shoulders and said, "This was the nearest."

SIGH!

Rebecca let out a silent sigh and stood at the office's doorway.

"Are you done with the register?" Eleanor then asked.

"Yes."

Eleanor was sitting by her desk in front of a computer, but her chair was turned to the side, facing the door. She wore stylish computer glasses and had a tablet in her hands and a laptop on her desk.

The computer screen had the live footage from the cameras in the store, while the laptop screen listed the share and stock prices graph. And the tablet had documents open.

Eleanor pointed her gaze at the empty chair next to her desk and said, "Come, sit."

Rebecca reluctantly decided to sit on the chair.

"Here." Eleanor handed a file to Rebecca and said, "Can you perform a quick inspection on this one and tell me if everything is wrong?"

Rebecca opened the file and rolled her eyes.

"This is not part of my job."

"But you are free, and you don't want to go home. Learn to utilize your free time— best advice from an entrepreneur."

"I am one of those people who can be content with what they have. You have so much money, but you only use it to increase that money. When will that end? What will you do with that much money?

Erika and Eric, and even their children generations after, can easily survive and live a luxurious life with the amount of money you have. So I don't understand this constant need to make more money when you already have enough."

Eleanor pressed something on her tablet, and the printer began to print out a few papers. Then, Eleanor arranged those papers, clipped them into a file, and placed it in front of Rebecca.

"Check these too."

Seeing she would receive no response from her, Rebecca let out a quiet sigh and began to read the documents.

"I don't even know what they are about, and what am I supposed to check?"

"The ones in your hands are the legal documents of the rights of all properties I own. And the file I just gave you contains the legal documents of all the businesses I own."

"And… you are asking me to read them because…?"

"As you said, what am I going to do with that much fortune?"

"You are… giving them to me…?"

"No. I will give all my properties to Erika and my business to Eric. Of course, once they finish their major studies. I don't want them to be dependent on me for everything. And I am sure they wouldn't accept it even if I gave it to them now.

They are so honest… and mature for their ages. Reminds me of Rudy…" She chuckled. "You have no idea how happy I feel after telling Rudy everything."

"So Eric and Erika are truly his kids?" Rebecca asked without taking her eyes off the documents.

"You don't seem jealous to know that I am the first girl to have his children."

"Not going to lie, I always thought they weren't Rudy's. You disappeared one day and returned a few years later with two kids."

"You are the one who cut me off, cut everyone off."

"I had to do it."

"Let's not talk about this, or it won't end well," Eleanor spoke solemnly. "I have finally solved this issue with Rudy, so I don't want to open it again."

"Same." Rebecca nodded. "I guess we will never know who was right and who was wrong."

"I think we both know who is right and who is wrong. You were a selfish cheeky brat, accept that fact."

"I thought you said you weren't going to talk about this topic anymore."

Rebecca frowned.
