Elora smiled warmly and said, "If someone takes over the family business without real talent or the ability to handle the weight of responsibility, they're bound to be judged. Sure, they might try to prove themselves, but it's not the same. Founding a legacy and sustaining wealth across generations are two very different things. With family backing you, no matter how much you achieve, people will say it's all because of that support. If you fail, they'll call you a spoiled heir, a waste, and claim that wealth can't last three generations. That's why only those with true ability can carry the family business forward."

Tatum fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Miss, you're absolutely right. My eldest brother is incredibly capable. While the rest of us can take on responsibility, none of us are as solid and steady as he is. He's the anchor in our family. With him leading, we have the freedom to pursue what we want without worrying about the bigger picture. He makes it possible." Elora couldn't help but reflect on her own situation.

She was the eldest sister, the one carrying the weight of the family. Because of her, her younger sisters could pursue their dreams freely, without being tied to the family business as she was.

"You're lucky," Elora said sincerely.

Deep down, she wished someone could share her burden, giving her the freedom to live her life the way she wanted.

Tatum smiled gently. "What about you?"novelbin

He tilted his head, looking at her with curiosity.

Elora met his gaze briefly before quickly looking away. But Tatum kept his eyes on her.

He liked looking at her. Even though she seemed cold on the surface, he knew that it was a persona she had built to command respect. After all, she was managing so many people at the company. Deep down, he suspected her true nature wasn't as icy. Still, her beauty was undeniable.

Grandma never made poor choices when selecting people for the family. Elora wasn't just from a good family or highly competent-she was stunning.

Grandma always said that a good daughter-in-law would bring not only a strong next generation in terms of values but also in looks. The York men were famously handsome, and that was no coincidence. The women Grandma had chosen for their fathers and uncles were all remarkable, too. Beautiful parents made for beautiful children-it was almost a family tradition.

Elora sighed softly. "As for me, am I happy? I suppose I am. But the burden I carry is so heavy that, at times, I feel like it's too much. I wasn't born strong. Life forced me to be this way. Taking over the company wasn't my choice-it was a necessity." She paused, her expression softening slightly. "But if you're asking if I'm unhappy, I wouldn't say that either. My family is incredibly supportive. You've seen how harmonious we are. My uncle and aunt treat me like their own daughter. My sisters respect me as the eldest, and even Angelo and Alonzo, who are spoiled by everyone else, know better than to challenge my authority. "When I'm at home, I can completely relax and enjoy the warmth of my family. So yes, in a way, I am happy."

Tatum's tone softened. "You're the eldest sister, and right now, with Alonzo still so young, you have no choice but to carry the weight. But one day, when he's older, you'll be able to step back and rest. When that time comes, I'll be by your side, traveling the world with you. And I'll make sure you're never hungry on those adventures." He added the last part with a playful smile, hoping to ease any suspicion.

Elora couldn't help but laugh faintly. "Alonzo just turned seven this year. He's got at least eleven more years before he's even an adult. After that, he'll have to go to college, then spend a few years gaining experience and refining his skills. It'll be at least twenty years before he's ready to take over the family business."

She let out a quiet sigh. The idea of retiring felt like a distant, almost impossible dream. She knew her path wouldn't change anytime soon.
