?Chapter 470:


    Silver Foxmented, “ck Snake, why is my life so difficult? There was a time when I believed that if our team disbanded, I could return home and take over my grandmother’s huge property. But, Boohoo… my grandma insists I must get married and have a female heir before she’ll even consider giving me the property.


    I don’t even have a boyfriend. Where on earth am I supposed to find a man to marry and have an heir? She threatened to give away all of her property if I don’t get married and have an heir while she’s still alive. Isn’t she making things impossible for me?”


    Silver Fox sent a breakdown emoji and continued her tirade, “How could a grandmother coerce her granddaughter like this? It’s bad enough she wants me to find a man, get married, and have an heir, but she also demands a female heir.


    I can’t promise I’ll have a daughter, even if I meet a boyfriend right away! How could having a son be a bad thing?


    Sons also deserve the family’s money, don’t they? What makes my grandmother so anti-male? Who knows how long it will take for me to locate a decent man, get married, and produce a daughter? Boohoo… My aspiration to be a wealthy woman is vanishing!”


    Marissa, rather than being sympathetic, was astonished. She asked Silver Fox, “Why does she insist on you having a female heir before handing over the property?”


    Silver Fox replied, “I’ve asked her the same question, and she just says it’s a family tradition. It’s not about the money; it’s about upholding our family’s values.”


    Immediately after, Marissa scoffed and sent aughing emoji. “She truly knows you. She’s using the property to control you because she knows you’re a hedonist who doesn’t want to be married. Serves you right! How could you only think about enjoyment and not about contributing to the human race?”


    With a pouting emoji, Silver Fox retorted, “You sound like you’re doing something positive for humanity. Show me by having a kid!”


    “I don’t have a grandmother pressuring me,” Marissa shot back. “What makes having a kid necessary for me? Since I am a billionaire myself, I am not dependent on anyone else’s fortune.”


    Silver Fox replied, “That is extremely harsh! So it is true that wealth confers power.”


    Marissa smiled before her expression turned serious. “You lost your mother when you were just a child, and your father’s indifference left you vulnerable. Your stepmother and stepsister took advantage of that, bullying and scheming against you until you ended up on the streets.


    If your grandmother hadn’te back from abroad to take you in, who knows what might have happened? She’s in her seventies now, and she’s deeply worried that she doesn’t have much time left. She fears leaving you alone and wants to see you settled, with a family of your own.


    She says you must have a daughter because if your firstborn isn’t a girl, you’ll have to have more children. This way, there will be more people to love and apany you. She means well, and you should understand her heart.”


    Silver Fox was silent for a while before responding to Marissa’s message. This time, her tone was also serious.


    “I do understand my grandma’s good intentions, but after witnessing my father’s cruelty and betrayal towards my mother, I have a psychological scar. Marriage and children are not something I yearn for; the thought of it all fills me with dread.”


    Marissa responded, “I get where you’reing from. Whether you choose to marry and have children to ease your grandmother’s worries, or decide to stay true to your feelings and remain single, it’s up to you. Whatever you decide, know that I’ll always be in your corner.


    Even if your grandma isn’t around anymore, you won’t be alone. I’ll be here with you.”


    Silver Fox felt a wave offort. “ck Snake, how fortunate I am to have encountered you in this life! I’ve given it some serious thought. My grandma sacrificed so much to raise me; I can’t just think about my feelings. I need to make sure she has no regrets when she goes.


    I’ve decided to look for a good partner, get married, and have a family.”


    “I’ll support you no matter which path you choose,” Marissa replied.


    Without warning, Silver Fox inquired, “ck Snake, do you know why I haven’t gone to Blebert yet?”
