I spent over 300 thousand dollars on a wedding for the whole city to see, and the girl my son married wrecked my reputation with a single sentence. "Enough with the wishes about having kids soon. I'm not a baby-making machine, and I'll say it now so everyone hears it. I don't want children, and anyone who pushes me on it can consider us done," she announced. The room went dead silent, and every eye was on me, waiting to see the boy's mother made a fool of. But I was the first to clap. "Well said! I support you!" Emily was absolutely thrilled. That night, she posted on social media: [Who says marrying into a rich family means you have to have kids? I rely on my charm, not my uterus!] I was fuming, but my son, Alex Miller, came over with a cheeky grin and said, "Mom, why are you stressing? With your money, you'll never run out of grandkids. "If she doesn't want to have them, there's no shortage of women lining up to give you heirs." Emily was still gloating online, totally clueless that her "childfree declaration" wasn't just seen by relatives and friends. There were also girls out there, watching the Miller Family like hawks, dreaming of becoming a Miller themselves. Until one day, a woman with a baby bump knocked on her door.
