Chapter 4273 

Elora walked over and sat beside her mother. 

Mrs. Ormond shifted uncomfortably. “Let’s go outside. This is your bedroom. I shouldn’t have come in without asking.” 

She felt like she had invaded her daughter’s private space. 

“Mom, don’t be like that. We’re mother and daughter—real mother and daughter,” Elora said with a soft smile, sensing her mother’s discomfort. “We’re not strangers. You don’t need permission to be here.” 

Maybe it was because Elora had been so caught up with work that she hadn’t spent much time with her parents in a long while. 

She left early, came home late. Some months, they barely even saw each other—despite living under the same roof. 

By the time she left for work in the morning, her parents were still asleep. When she came home at night, they had already gone to bed. 

Unless she had a rare weekend off, their paths hardly crossed. But back then, she was too busy even for weekends at home. 

Now, with her cousins stepping up to help, she could finally afford to take weekends off and relax. 

Still, her position of power had created a distance. It had made her parents cautious around her. 

Realizing this, Elora reached for her mother’s arm and rested her head on her shoulder. 

Her voice softened. “It’s been a long time since I leaned on my mom.” 

A hint of pride entered her voice. “I’ve also changed a lot of the senior management. Almost all of them now were promoted by me. The old managers have retired. They’re no longer here to challenge my decisions or pressure me with their so-called experience.” 

Back when she first took over, the biggest obstacle hadn’t been the greedy relatives eyeing the Ormond fortune—it had been the company’s old executives. 

Most of them had been handpicked by her grandfather. They had spent decades working alongside him, dedicating their best years to the family business. 

Elora had always respected them. 

But that respect hadn’t stopped them from making things difficult for her. 

They had watched her grow up. They admitted she was capable, but to them, she was just a teenager. They had been in the industry for twenty, thirty years. 

And they didn’t hesitate to remind her of it.
