Yes... We’re still on generation 1. :/

“Hello?” “It’s Elise.”

“Oh.”

“I want you to choose an heiress. You know, someone to inherit the

family fortune and house and carry on the legacy.”

“No way! Can’t you choose for me? I can’t decide!”

“Your wife can help you.”

“Ok... I’ll do it.”

“Evangeline, I think we should choose an heiress,” Dominic said.

“An heiress? Don’t you think it’s a bit soon?” Evangeline laughed.

“Well, we have to choose one day. Why not now?”

“But... they haven’t even got aspirations yet!”

“Should we at least think about it?”

“Ok, let’s consider all of them.”

“Being the oldest, Holly Blue is a good leader and has had the

experience of looking after her younger sisters.” “I agree, but she can be rash when

making decisions and tends to rush things.” “Hmm... she also looks a lot like

you, which means not much variety in the next generation. However, she is the oldest, and the

oldest usually is the heir.”

“Madeline! Madeline would make a great heiress if only I was her

mum... she’s not eligible.” “She would be good, wouldn’t she? She’s very level-headed and kind,

and takes things seriously.” “Sometimes too seriously though, Dominic. Oh...if only she was able

to be heir! I think she would be perfect...”

“I would be worried about Lauren being heiress, Evangeline, because

of her... skin problem. However, despite that, she has nice looking genetics. She’s also kind and

funny, but like Holly Blue is sometimes too quick at making decisions.”

“Yes... she’s also the youngest so she has no experience of looking after siblings. However, she’s a

very nice child and would raise lovely children.”

“Oh, Dominic, I really don’t know!”

“Should we wait until they’re all teens?” “Good idea.”

Holly Blue continued making friends, and would often bring

them home from school.

Soon it was time for her birthday, though.

“I wish for me and Orlando to live happily ever after together!”

Holly Blue blew out her candles and desperately hoped her wish

would come true.

She was a pretty teenager, and was a popularity sim like both her

parents.

She invited Orlando over, who had also grown up.

“Now we’re teenagers, maybe...” Holly Blue started, but couldn’t

finish her sentence.

Instead, she kissed him.

“Do you... do you w-want to go st-steady?” Orlando stuttered.

Holly Blue giggled.

“I’d love to!”

“Mum mum mum mum mum mum mum! You’ll never guess

what! I’m going steady with Orlando!”

“That’s great, but remember, honey, first loves don’t always

last.” “Thanks for the advice, but I’m sure I won’t need it.”

“Did you hear that, Lauren? Holly’s got a boyfriend!”

Both girls burst into laughter at the thought of a boyfriend.

“Hey, dad,” Maddie said casually the next morning as she went to

put a book on the shelf. “Shouldn’t you be at school?” “Nah, the bus isn’t here yet.

Honestly, dad! It’s not here for another hour!” “Oh, sorry.”

“Something’s distracting Dominic,” thought Evangeline.

The phone started ringing, and Evangeline picked it up.

“Hello?” “Is Dominic there?” “...no. He’s a work. Would you like

me to pass on a message?”

“No. Just tell him to call Elise when he gets in.”

“Of course.”

“Dominic. A woman named Elise phoned for you today.”

“She did?”

“Yes, who is she?”

“She’s sort of... Evangeline, she sort of helps us through the

legacy.”

“What the hell do you mean?”

“She was the one who told me to start thinking about a heiress.

Stuff like that.”

“Do you promise you’re not having an affair with her?”

“Of course I’m not!”

“Sure?” “Yes!”

Holly Blue would often rush through her homework to see

Orlando, but kept up her grades.

“Mum,” she said one night, “I was thinking about joining the culinary

career because my cooking needs improving. Do you think I should?”

“Yeah, it’s a great idea!” Evangeline said half-heartedly.

“It’s not fair, dad. I can’t go outside.”

“Oh, Lauren, it’s for your own good!”

Unfortunately, the whole family caught the flu, and Lauren caught

it the worst. She would often sit on the bed staring into space for hours.

But when everyone had recovered, she was back to normal.

It was soon time for Madeline’s transition into a teenager.

“I wish to not be bullied for my skin at high school!”

She then blew out the candles.

She grew up into a pretty teen and rolled wealth/fortune.

The end! Hopefully the next chapter will be the last one this

generation, and the heir will be revealed unless I have to do a poll because I can’t decide...
