[Chapter 546: Triple Blessings]
Aunt Kelly was visiting the farm for the first time. Fresh off the plane, she was immediately struck by the grand scale of the estate. From the airport and through the car window, endless stretches of lush, emerald crops spread as far as the eye could see, filling her with a deep sense of pride and relief.
As they drove further into the heavily guarded smaller farm, the sight of various fruit trees, rows of crops, and a hundred acres of blooming canola fields dazzled her. Upon entering the gardens, Aunt Kelly was utterly stunned by their vastness and imposing, yet elegant grandeur. Every corner was a breathtaking scene, as if she had stepped into a dream.
All of this made her realize that Linton had truly grown into a towering figure -- no longer just someone younger in the family, but a genuine heavyweight in America. She understood why even Secretary of Commerce Mickey Kantor had been orbiting around him during his recent trip.
That thought brought her great joy, but also a bittersweet pang in her heart -- her sister would never get to see any of this. In that moment, her long-standing irritation over Linton's numerous romantic entanglements quietly melted away.
Though she'd never admit it, she understood a stark truth: real top-tier players often had their share of women. Someone like Linton, who didn't scheme or coerce but simply attracted women through charm, didn't seem wrong at all. And considering he was so young and had built such a massive empire, having multiple women and children might actually be a good thing.
She decided to let go of worrying about Linton's love life; after all, it was none of her business anymore. But the kids -- she could still spend time bonding with them.
As her thoughts shifted, their car drove into the inner courtyard and stopped in front of an enormous mansion.
The moment she stepped out, she saw Madonna standing there alongside three pregnant women -- Cristiana Reali, Sophie Marceau, and Monica Bellucci -- each proudly showing their baby bumps, eagerly awaiting their arrival.
In front of them, a delicately beautiful little girl spotted them and toddled over, calling out brightly, "Daddy!"
Linton scooped up the little girl immediately, and their joyful exchange melted Kelly's heart, flooding it with affection. After Linton introduced her to Madonna, Cristiana, Sophie, and Monica, the visitors watched as Kelly pulled out from her bag a rattle toy she'd bought.
She approached Lina and said, "Little Lina, do you like this toy? Say 'Grandma.'"
At first, Lina didn't go to her. But after a little coaching from Linton, she took the rattle in hand and, wide-eyed, looked up at Aunt Kelly, then sweetly added, "Grandma."
Aunt Kelly's heart melted completely. She opened her arms warmly, "Come here, Lina. Let Grandma hold you."
Comforted by Linton's encouragement, Lina obediently stretched out her arms, slipping into her embrace. Aunt Kelly felt delighted beyond words.
After a brief moment of warm familial affection, Linton excused himself to greet Leon Panetta and the guests who had come for the delivery of his famed Vitality Pills.
...
Meanwhile, Aunt Kelly quickly bonded with Madonna and the three pregnant women. Pulling out more carefully chosen infant gifts from her suitcase, she thoughtfully handed them out to Cristiana, Sophie, and Monica, gently inquiring after their well-being.
When she learned their due dates were all in mid-August, she resolved to stay in the gardens to help care for them until their babies arrived.
Unlike Madonna, who had kept things more private, these three had brought their parents along to provide support. This highlighted how crucial Linton's decision to provide each with a separate villa and dedicated staff really was.
Though their parents had initially been uneasy about their daughters being unmarried and expecting children, once they saw the depth of Linton's mega-billionaire empire and understood his true situation, their attitudes gradually softened.
What sealed the deal, however, was the news that Linton had set up a colossal $100 million trust fund for each child before birth. That wiped away any remaining displeasure toward him.
As an elder in the family, Aunt Kelly made it her mission to visit the parents of Cristiana, Sophie, and Monica one by one. The meetings went surprisingly well, blending warmth with celebration.
Of course, another reason she was happy to stay was that Linton had arranged a private villa just for her, sparing her the worry of getting caught up in his notorious parties with the other women. Even when her husband Jeff and daughter Judy visited, she wouldn't have to fear they'd fall into any bad influences.

Los Angeles' underworld was currently in chaos. After Linton's ruthless extermination of the previous gang, power struggles among emerging factions kept things unstable. None of these upstarts dared to touch Linton or anyone linked to his companies, branded stores, or enterprises.
They knew full well that to confront federal agencies like the FBI or LAPD would be risky but manageable -- just a few scapegoats might spend some prison time. But crossing Linton was a death sentence; as the bloodied corpses of over a thousand gangsters from five factions proved, messing with him meant hell on earth for anyone involved.
On the morning of August 6, Linton arrived back in Los Angeles aboard his private jet, carrying 150 bottles of Vitality Pills and 4,000 bottles of Beauty Pills.
He traveled in a heavily armored convoy of vehicles, including Hummers, escorted by both FBI and LAPD in full display. The operation went smoothly, and the products sold out almost immediately at his exclusive stores.
In fact, upon landing, Linton had unleashed his spiritual awareness, effortlessly covering the entire city. No thief dared to lay a finger on his Vitality or Beauty Pills.

The next morning, bidding farewell to Sherilyn Fenn, his date for the night, Linton returned to the farm. From that moment on, he devoted himself wholly to supporting Cristiana, Sophie, and Monica as they neared their deliveries -- while also cherishing precious time with little Lina.
On August 10, Li Xiaoran, accompanied by 40 newly hired service girls and Li Weicai's team, arrived in Los Angeles. After entrusting the chef team to estate manager Amy for transfer to the Los Angeles manor, Li Xiaoran brought the new staff directly to the farm.
Thanks to this boost in manpower and Amy's expert coordination, the estate's service quality entered a new, organized phase.
...
On August 15, Cristiana went into labor first. With the medical team's skilled assistance, she smoothly delivered a healthy, adorable boy.
Weighing a robust 8.9 pounds at birth and wailing loudly, the baby was christened Alexander Anderson by Linton.
He gifted the infant a quartz pendant engraved with protective spells and Alexander's name, which was hung proudly around the little boy's neck.
News of Alexander's birth spread quickly among Linton's circle -- his entire harem setting aside their duties to return, celebrating the newest member of the Anderson family.
Every night, lively parties and theatrical events began lighting up the estate's seventh courtyard, with Amy leading staff to decorate the gardens in festive colors and glowing lanterns.
...
On August 18, Monica also delivered successfully, giving birth to a beautiful, lively baby girl who weighed in at 8.5 pounds -- her cries echoing loudly through the mansion.
Linton named her Michelle Anderson, gifting her an identical quartz pendant etched with protective runes and her name.
...
Finally, on August 20, Sophie Marceau welcomed a healthy, spirited baby boy weighing 8.8 pounds.
Linton named him Bruce Anderson, and like the others, bestowed upon him the magical quartz nameplate.
Three babies arriving in quick succession was an undeniable blessing. Linton was overjoyed and promptly instructed that every staff member on the estate receive a generous bonus as a token of gratitude. An internal celebration feast was held to mark the joyous occasion.
Then, Linton summoned his lawyer Goodman. In front of all the women in his circle, he officially announced an upgrade to the children's trust funds: the total amount doubled from $100 million to $200 million.
Trust funds for each of the three newborns were formally established, with Lina's own fund also upgraded and refreshed.
