The woman speaking is Ivy Cox.
A well-known figure in the circle, the kind that absolutely must not be provoked.
Ivy Cox looks very young, no more than thirty years old at most, but those who know her are aware that she is already thirty-six.
The six top elite families in Cloud Capital.
The Jackson Family is low-key and reserved, the Ward Family is at its peak of wealth, the Chester Family dominates half of the entertainment industry, the Leaf Family has been gaining momentum since entering the e-commerce industry, the Williams Family’s descendants are few, and their power is not as strong as before; these five families are all involved in the business world to some extent, yet are generally upright.
Outside these five families, the arrogant and domineering Myres Family has always controlled many industries such as bathhouses and entertainment venues in Cloud Capital.
There’s a saying circulating in the circle.
It’s better to provoke the Jackson Family than to provoke the Myres Family.
The reason is simple: the Myres are inherently brutal and merciless; once they set their sights on you, they have hundreds of ways to make your life unbearable.
Apart from this saying, there’s another that is widely circulated.
It’s better to provoke Cesar Myres than Ivy Cox.
Cesar Myres is the head of the Myres Family, a figure whose mere footstep could make the north tremble. He is currently in his sixties, and Ivy Cox is Cesar’s fifth wife, who moved into the Myres Family at twenty-four and has dominated Cesar’s affections ever since.
The Marriage Law stipulates monogamy.
Cesar Myres had an early arranged marriage; his legal wife is Reagon Sutton.
Beyond this, there were many women within the Myres Family who originally had no titles. Besides Reagon Sutton, there were three women living in the Myres Family: the second wife Cherry Lewis, the third wife Sunny Holland, and the fourth wife Katie Johnson. These four women all have children, and the children, like their mothers, constantly compete and scandalize.
This delicate balance was broken by Ivy Cox.
In the second year after Ivy entered the Myres Family, she gave birth to a boy named Odin Myres. The year Odin was born, Cesar went through a divorce procedure with his legal wife Reagon Sutton, and a marriage certificate tied him to Ivy.
In the fifth year after Ivy entered the Myres Family, she gave birth to a second child named Lukas Myres. The year Lukas was born, Cesar gave two private islands under his name to Ivy, winning a smile from her.
In the seventh year after Ivy entered the Myres Family, she gave birth to a little daughter. Cesar was fifty-five that year, and Maeve was his daughter in his old age. Upon her birth, Cesar transferred one-fifth of his assets to Ivy’s name to show his favor.
At present, Ivy has been in the Myres Family for twelve years, with two sons and a daughter. Since she entered the Myres Family, no other woman of Cesar has had children.
People in the circle say that Cesar Myres has gone mad over the three daughters of the Cox Family.
Not only did he offend the Sutton Family, but he also disrupted the already chaotic balance of the Myres Family, causing Ivy alone to dominate, with inevitable breakdowns sooner or later.
Cesar Myres is still alive, and the thirty-six-year-old Ivy Cox is the woman who stands above the Myres Family head.
The Davis Family is just a new power in the business world, naturally not daring to provoke.
As for the man who looks about his age—
Edward Davis vaguely heard people mentioning that among the four Cox siblings, the younger brother is about ten years younger than Ivy and has the single name Louis.
Ivy Cox is the woman Cesar holds dearly, and this Louis Cox is the man Ivy cherishes as a treasure.
She loves this brother dearly, to an extent comparable to her affection for her little daughter.
"Uncle, you said you would play with me today!" A clear young voice suddenly pulled Edward Davis back from his thoughts.
He looked down and saw a little girl about five or six years old standing by his leg.
The little girl wore a light pink puffy dress, puffed her cheeks, and clutched onto Louis Cox’s leg, looking up with a very aggrieved expression.
