“You know, originally our brother and Ruby were neighbors, they grew up together, have known each other for so many years, and it wasn’t easy for our brother to finally sleep with Ruby, but he just turned his back on her? I always thought Ruby would end up being our sister-in-law.”

–

Ruby didn’t return to the banquet, she sat alone in her car, her mind filled with the words Steve had said before getting in the car.

“Join me once a month, and I’ll let you work at Pristine’s Enterprises.”

“As usual, it’s the 10th of each month, but not to accompany me on vacation as before, but to accompany me in bed!”

Ruby didn’t know if children from other families were born with a mission, but she did know that she, the daughter of the Gregorys, had a responsibility.

Pristine’s Enterprises’ business scope was extensive, and many companies relied on Pristine’s Enterprises for survival, the Gregorys being one of them.

In the circle of wealthy businessmen, marriages were seen as alliances, commonly known as marriages of convenience.

So, many family businesses, in order to strengthen their own status and assets, would choose to marry into the Burtons.

The Burtons had many relatives, and even if they did not marry directly into the line of succession of Pristine’s Enterprises, marrying into other Burton families would still be helpful for their own family business.

However, the Gregorys had some bad luck. In Maxwell’s generation, the Gregorys had all sons, and the Burtons did too, so the Gregorys could only watch their competitors marrying into the Burtons’ family and then watch their own family business gradually decline.”

In Ruby’s generation, the Gregorys had only male children, and it was only after great anticipation that they finally got Ruby, the girl. So from the moment she was born, the people of the Gregorys unanimously arranged her future, which was to marry into the Burton family.

At first, the Gregorys didn’t expect Ruby to marry the direct heir of Pristine’s Enterprises, but the Burtons in this generation had few descendants, and most of them were girls who wouldn’t marry into the Gregorys. The few male descendants they managed to find either were already married or had an age gap with Ruby.”

So, after all the selection, in the end, Ruby’s marriage target could only be Steve.”

When Ruby was very young, the Gregorys began to instil an ideology in her.

That ideology had only three points:

First: She had to like what Steve liked.

Second: She had to do everything possible to please Steve.

Third: She had to marry Steve.

It was as if she was born to serve Steve, and from childhood to adulthood, everything in her life revolved around Steve.

For example, Steve liked blue, disliked sweets, preferred long-haired women, didn’t like sugar in his coffee, didn’t like the smell of perfume, and insisted on keeping the air conditioner at 25 degrees Celsius while sleeping at night…

Of course, the Gregorys also spent a lot of effort cultivating her since she was young. Whether she liked it or not, she had to learn and master various skills, such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, and dancing.

Her life was given by the Gregorys, and she had a duty to protect them. The honor and wealth of the Gregorys all depended on her.

So, she had no choice.

Moreover, since she was a little girl, she had been educated with only one goal in mind, which was to marry Steve and become a good housewife of the Burtons. If even this goal were to be abandoned, she really wouldn’t know the meaning of her existence.
