Tracy was indeed a state banquet chef. Her culinary skills were extraordinary. Even Mrs. Sullivan, who

had always insisted on cating less, had drunk two bowls. If not for Mr. Brown’s reminder, Mrs. Sullivan

might even have a third bowl.

“This chicken soup is delicious.” Mrs. Sullivan reluctantly put down the bowl.

Tracy smiled. “Good that you liked it. It’s already very late. I have to get going.”

“You’re leaving?” Mrs. Sullivan was a little reluctant.

The culinary skills of famous chefs were too precious. She wanted Tracy to stay for a few more days.

However, it was not convenient for her to speak out and invite her.

After all, Tracy was the head chef of the state banquet. Moreover, she had not cooked personally for

many years. A few years ago, Tracy was invited to continue to be the head chef of the state banquet,

but she had rejected it.

Tracy had retired. She rarely appeared elsewhere besides the Smith Cuisine Hall and the restaurants

opened by her students.

It was already a pleasant surprise that Olivia could invite her over. It would be impossible for her to stay

further.

Everyone present could tell what Mrs. Sullivan was thinking.

But no one spoke.

Brad smoothed his sleeve before saying haughtily, “Tracy, why don’t you stay and cook for us for a few

more days?”

As he had been overseas for many years, Brad did not know much about the happenings in the

country. He only knew that Tracy was a state banquet chef and one of the top chefs in the region.

However, he did not hear that she had not cooked personally for the past few years.

He thought that he would be able to have her agree to his request as it was just a matter of money.

Just like Olivia, he could also invite Tracy.

Mrs. Sullivan had given him a large sum of money over the years. He had used it for investments and

thus accumulated a lot of wealth.

Tracy was just a chef. He could easily employ her services.

After saying that, Brad even looked at Olivia with a provocative gaze. “Tracy, don’t worry. I will

compensate you well. As long as you’re willing to stay and cook a few meals, I will give you double

what Olivia paid you.”

“Double?” Tracy laughed.

Her restaurants were all over the country. She had become a brand in the food industry. She had

earned more than enough money. It was a joke that someone had used money to entice her.

Tracy did not know whether to laugh or be angry.

“Yes” Brad’s tone was firm. “As long as you’re willing to stay. I’ll give you double whatever Olivia gave

you.”

Mrs. Sullivan sat at the side. Her eyes started to well up after she saw how

determined and considerate Brad was in trying to help her convince Tracy to stay. His biological son,

Daniel, had never been so concerned about her.

On the other hand, Brad was always considerate of her. He was generous with his money so that she

could enjoy Tracy’s cooking.

However, she did feel that Brad’s behavior was inappropriate and disrespectful.

Despite his behavior, she was nonetheless touched by Brad’s actions.

What a good child!

Brad had been observing Mrs. Sullivan’s expression. He knew he had done the right thing when he

saw her eyes well up.

He knew Mrs. Sullivan’s personality well. He knew that she would fall for hist tricks.

Brad had always acted like that since he was a child. No matter what good stuff he got, he would give it

to Mrs. Sullivan first. No matter what he did, he would tell Mrs. Sullivan first.

He loved her with all his heart. He relied on her wholeheartedly.

He was a stark contrast to Daniel. Daniel was smart. However, he was also

mischievous and a little distant from his mother.

Brad held Mrs. Sullivan’s hand and said gently in an emotional tone. “You’re like a mother to me. You

raised me yourself. When I was young. I swore that I would be filial when I grew up. Even if it’s the

stars in the sky. I’ll pluck them for you. Something as simple as this isn’t even worth mentioning.”

“Oh, why would I need you to pluck stars for me?” Mrs. Sullivan turned her face away. Her heart had

melted.

Her efforts back then were not in vain. Brad had grown up to be someone with filial piety and

consideration.

“Tracy. Brad turned to Tracy. “Tell me how much to pay you. No matter how much it is, I’ll give it to you.

I’ll double the amount Olivia gave you!”

Tracy looked up at Brad. She felt awkward. After a while, she said, “Olivia didn’t give me money.

Hearing that, Brad raised his eyebrows. His voice turned icy. “That’s insensible of

her.”

Before he could finish speaking, Tracy spoke, “Have you heard of seared salmon with herbed

couscous? Olivia gave me the recipe for a medicinal cuisine. It has the same value as seared salmon

with herbed couscous.”

After saying that, she remained oblivious to everyone’s shock and stood up so leave.

When Tracy passed by Olivia, her tone was nothing short of amable and respectful. “Miss Olivia, if you

need anything else, just tell me anytime! Tracy left. Olivia propped up her chin and looked at

everyone’s dumbfounded faces. She felt good.

She waved at Andrew. “Andrew, come over. Shall we go upstairs and rest?

“Ok.” Andrew ran over and followed Olivia upstairs.

The ones left downstairs were Mrs. Sullivan, Brad, Mr. Brown, and a few servants.

Brad had been overseas. He did not know anything about seared salmon with herbed couscous.

However, he could tell that the recipe for the medicinal cuisine was costly.

He asked the butler, “Mr. Brown, what’s seared salmon with herbed couscous? Is the recipe very

precious?”

After saying that, Brad frowned and complained to Mrs. Sullivan, “Tracy is unintelligible. It’s just a

recipe. She could have asked for anything else. Why did she leave like that?”

It was rare for Mrs. Sullivan not to respond to him.

Brad’s expression stiffened imperceptibly. He looked at Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown sighed. “It’s hard to explain how precious seared salmon with herbed couscous is. What I do

know is that it has brought the Smith Cuisine Hall at le twenty million dollars in annual pure profits in

the past six to seven years. Mr. Brown was familiar to many distinguished guests like officials and

nobles. After all, he had been with the Sullivan family for many years.

However, he was also taken aback after learning how profitable medicinal cuisine could be.

20 million dollars. A year. That would be 200 million dollars in ten years. Olivia gave away the precious

medicinal cuisine recipe worth 20 million dollars to Tracy just so Mrs. Sullivan could have a mouthful of

chicken soup.

How generous was she?

That recipe was so precious.

Brad was stunned. He looked at Mr. Brown in disbelief and clenched his jaw tightly.

After a while, he asked, “How is that possible?”

Mr. Brown glanced at Brad but did not respond.

It was just a faint glance. However, Brad could see the contempt in it.

Mr. Brown was looking down on him again.

Anger rose inside him. Brad was furious.

What right did a butler like Mr. Brown have to look down on him?

After Olivia sent Andrew back to the room to sleep, she went downstairs again. Everyone was still in

the living room. They were still sitting at their original positions. Nobody moved.

Olivia turned to Brad and said gently. “Everyone says that you are filial. It’s the Respect the Elderly Day

next week. I believe you have prepared an extremely precious gift for Mrs. Sullivan?”

Brad suppressed the anger inside him and looked at Olivia coldly. His tone was icy. “Of course. I’ve

already prepared it. I wonder what you have prepared?” Olivia smiled proudly. “It would be better than

yours. The gift I prepared is so expensive.”

“Expensive?” Brad sneered. “That might not be the case.”

After saying that, Brad could not control his emotions. He stood up and said to Mrs. Sullivan in a low

voice, “I’ll go upstairs first.”

Brad walked upstairs. Halfway up, Olivia’s voice came from behind. She was speaking to Mrs. Sullivan.

“Filial piety doesn’t come from words. You have to prove it with actions. Who doesn’t know how to coax

people with words alone?” Mrs. Sullivan felt uncomfortable after hearing what Olivia said.

Why did Olivia misinterpret Brad’s well–intentioned words as hypocritical? Mrs. Sullivan felt Brad was

not such a person. However, she could not say anything to refute Olivia. She could only sulk silently.

She did not know if she was angry at Olivia or herself.
