Chapter 2739 - 2757: Pride

"Emily Lancaster has stepped down from Lancaster’s wood business management. Her father is definitely planning to elevate that illegitimate offspring who has been hidden outdoors for 20 years to take her place. If this offspring joins the company and later replaces Emily Lancaster as General Manager, her days won’t be easy unless she marries into a capable husband’s family."

"It’s like nurturing one failure after another." Brooke Black clicked her tongue. "These men are quite bold, keeping the home fires burning while flags fly outdoors. It’s as if it has become a symbol of their status."

"I’m an exception." Uncle Black responded swiftly, with a strong sense of self-preservation, "I only have one red flag, and even though I’ve spoiled Peter Gingery, I’ve never thought of nurturing another."

Far away at the base, Peter Gingery suddenly sneezed twice.

Then he mumbled, with one sound, two curses, and a threefold cold, guessing who might be cursing him behind his back.

"Peter Gingery isn’t completely hopeless." Brooke Black laughed to herself. "Although sometimes he’s annoying, he’s never gotten into any trouble from childhood until now."

"Compared to other children who worry their families, Peter’s not bad." Old Master Black rarely praised Peter Gingery.

It’s a pity Peter Gingery wasn’t there, otherwise, hearing it, he’d be over the moon.

Brooke Black and Old Master Black had a busy day and after eating, were so exhausted they went to rest early.

James Black went upstairs to wash, while Jane Sampson stayed in the living room, grinning at the cookies and candy James Black had brought home on the tea table.

Having just eaten, Jane wasn’t eating anymore but took two photos to send to Peter Gingery at the base.

[Proud][Proud]Here’s a look at my snacks today. — James Black’s wife.

When Peter Gingery there at the base received this WhatsApp message, his gaze lit up, and he sprang up from the bed like a carp leap.

"Holy moly!"

Peter Gingery was amazed and immediately sent Jane a voice message, "Is it really Potter’s from the hometown? My goodness, how did it end up in the house? Who brought it to you? They are truly an angel."

"Jane, save me some, let Brother bring me a bit tomorrow. I’m really craving it; ate it twice when young, haven’t had it for several years now, I’m truly craving it."

When he was young, Peter Gingery had gone back to his ancestral hometown with the misters, later he got busy with studies and didn’t have the chance to return.

Peter recalled vividly the taste of this candy and cookie.

"Just wait, I’ll have James bring it to you tomorrow." Jane promptly replied to Peter Gingery.

"Boo-hoo, I’m so moved. If anyone dares call you fat Jane again, I’ll be the first to punch them," Peter replied.

Jane found a clean food sealer bag, divided some for Peter. When James Black came down after his bath, Jane was sealing the bag, and Aunt was next, helping her find a clean paper bag for James to conveniently bring it tomorrow.

"Are these for Peter?" James knew immediately that Jane was dividing this for Peter when he saw her splitting the bags.

Jane and Peter have been close since childhood, not without reason; the two have remarkably similar tastes and get along exceptionally well.

It’s just like one likes to eat egg yolks, the other egg whites, they are simply the perfect partners.

"Peter also particularly loves this, I’ll save some for him." After packing up, Jane followed James upstairs.

Since the seniors were resting, Jane tread lightly when going upstairs.
