"Yeah, I started this brand myself. Actually, it was your mom who pushed me to go for it."

The Churchill family never had money problems. If Ophelia wanted to be a kept woman living the high life, she never had to lift a finger to work.

Whatever her reasons for founding CLOUD at the start, it had given Ophelia real confidence and independence.
"Wait, are you the head designer for CLOUD?" Claire suddenly asked, the idea striking her.
Ophelia didn’t hesitate. "That’s me. I studied jewelry design way back."
Claire’s eyes lit up. "Ophelia, you’re incredible! Every collection you design is gorgeous. You really know how to make people fall in love with your pieces!"
"Oh, you’re exaggerating," Ophelia said, trying to sound humble, but inside she was delighted.
It was true, daughters really did know how to make you feel special.

"Claire, since you’re here in Cabinda alone, I’m guessing you don’t have a place to stay yet, right?"
"You’re welcome to stay here with your grandpa for now, but eventually, you’ll want your own space."
"I got you an apartment as a welcome gift."
"If you sign here, I’ll have the deed put in your name."
"The place is right between Cabinda University and Metropolitan University."
"So whichever school you pick, you’ll have a super convenient place to live."
