"Rich families have a lot of troubles. You can hide from those who attack you openly, but you can't hide from those who attack you in secret. You can hide from this, but you can’t hide from that. Look at Aunt Yvonne. Before she was married, she and my mom were from two different families and backgrounds. My mom has always been having it very rough before she was married, but it was not the same for Aunt Yvonne. Aunt Yvonne has been the apple of her entire family's eye. But what happened to her after she married into a rich family? Uncle Marcus loves her very much, but she still was set up by others."
The young lady's tone was very calm and very cool. It was like something that a high schooler would say.
Sebastian could not help but take another look at his daughter. "My daughter has grown up!"
"Dad!" Aino smiled while looking at Sebastian. "I'm sixteen going on seventeen soon. In another year, I'll be an eighteen-year-old grown-up. I'll be an adult then, won't I? "
She was right. Sebastian felt incomparably emotional while looking at his daughter. Aino was no longer the child when he had just found her and brought her back. This girl's personality was more and more like her mother's as she grew up. She was influenced by her mother a little more, after all. She was calm, rational, has the ability to make plans, and has patience. Not only that but the girl's heart was filled with love. That was the great influence of her Uncle Zayn on her.
Zayn was gentle and tolerant by nature. He had taught her since she was a child with endless tolerance. Before she turned five, she had been living by her mother and Uncle Zayn's side. Her mother was very strict with her, but her uncle gave her infinite tolerance. That made the girl have a gentle, tolerant, and open-minded character with a slightly boyish temperament. Later, when she returned to her father's side, quite a bit of her father's decisiveness, calmness, and coolness were passed on to her.
Sebastian's daughter was young, but he seemed to have seen the look of the Ford Group's successor. However, Aino was an extremely smart girl.
"Don't think about letting me take over your position!" Aino told her father directly. "How do you know I want to let you take over my position?" Sebastian found it absolutely strange.
Aino shrugged her shoulders, tilted her head, and said very disdainfully," Sebastian, you have failed to manage your expression, alright? With the way you look at your daughter, all that’s left is to have the words 'My daughter is going to be the successor for the Ford Group soon.' written on your face. You almost had all those words written on your face, alright?"
Sebastian smiled. "Do I? "
"What do you think?” Aino did not say anything else to her father. She got up and walked into her room. Not long after that, she walked out again while hugging her piggy bank.
"Why are you hugging your piggy bank?"
Sebastian asked in confusion.
"I'm guessing that I've saved up almost ten thousand dollars in this piggy bank. It’s all the allowance and money for my traveling, summer camp, winter camp, and so on from the past few years that both of you had given me. I've saved them up. I want to take the money out now." Aino sighed. She had been fumbling around in her room for a while. She did not open it.
"Dad, help me open my piggy bank." Aino handed her piggy bank to her father.
