If the Hoggard family cooperated with the Jones family and the Jones family grew stronger, there was a chance they would eventually turn against the lineal descendants and try to kill Kelly and Serena.

The Hoggard family’s refusal irritated the current leaders of the Jones family’s branch family, but that was the end of it. They didn’t dare to offend the Hoggard family and left in frustration. The Hoggard family didn’t keep their refusal to cooperate with the Jones family a secret. Instead, they discreetly let the news spread. When the two other major groups in Yowhayton, aside from the Jones family, learned the news, they were relieved and even pleased because it meant they could freely encroach on the Jones family’s territory.

Following the sudden and unexpected death of the Jones family’s direct heir, the newly appointed branch family leader was unfamiliar with previous business operations.

She enjoyed makeup from a young age and frequently attempted to use her mother’s and grandmother’s cosmetics in secret. Debra adored the child and, upon discovering Serena’s love of makeup, immediately ordered a custom line of expensive children’s cosmetics.

Those children’s cosmetics were made from natural extracts of fruits, vegetables, and other plants and dyed with natural dyes to ensure that they did not irritate the children’s skin. The only disadvantage was that the makeup did not last long. Once applied, it could quickly become a smudged mess, making the child look like a clown.

Nevertheless, Serena isn’t concerned about it at all. She simply enjoyed the vibrant colors and found them amusing. She enjoyed not only applying makeup to herself but also doing her father’s makeup. When Charlie was tired and resting, she would bring over her small makeup kit and give him a makeover.
