Keira Olsen found herself married without even knowing it! What's more, her husband-out-of-the-blue turned out to be the richest person in town! As an illegitimate daughter, she's been clawing and scrambling her way up, struggling to survive since childhood. She never expected to wed someone so powerful. When everyone thought she'd be quickly divorced, her husband shocked everyone by a declaration."My dear wife, can we not divorce?"
Keira followed Mrs. Gill into the Cobb residence, filled with curiosity.
The staff here was minimal, and as they walked through the expansive estate, she noticed only a couple of employees tending to the place.
Mrs. Gill, noticing Erin's wandering gaze, explained, "The Cobbs prefer a low-key lifestyle. We've all been raised to take care of ourselves—no reliance on housekeepers."
The Cobbs' way of living was refreshingly understated.
Erin rolled her eyes, "Rich and yet not enjoying life. I don't get what the Cobbs are thinking."
Mrs. Gill shot her a look, smiling lightly. "The Cobbs value freedom over luxury. They don't let money dictate their lives."
Because they desired so little and had no greed, they wouldn't sell their souls for money.
Keira found herself envying that outlook.
She had never yearned for wealth or status—her only desire was to live freely with her mother without the constraints of the South family.
