Laurence's marriage was finally on the horizon, but all the bodyguards who had been by his side for years were still single. He ought to start thinking about their futures too and help them find girlfriends.However, matchmaking was probably better left to their elders.Jane or Serenity would both be happy to play matchmaker. Even Lilian enjoyed matching people together.Thinking about how Oliver was still single and how Lilian had started pressuring him to get married, Laurence decided Jane would be the better choice for the task.She could find a match for Connor and help his bodyguards too while she was at it.The driver chuckled. "Then I'll thank you in advance on behalf of all the guys.""You've all been with me for so many years. I won't let you down. As long as you're willing to get married, I'll definitely help you settle down and start families."The men Hawk had assigned to him were exceptionally capable. Naturally, they also had high standards when it came to choosing

"If I don't audit, how am I supposed to find their mistakes and give them a reason to cause trouble? Manny and Tony have been running the Longbottom family for thirty years. Although they never managed to secure the position of family head, they've still accumulated considerable wealth and connections."By auditing the books, I can force them to cough up everything they've pocketed. If they can't bear to part with their gains, they'll start thinking about silencing me or sending another assassin after me."That was exactly what Laurence was waiting for. Once Tony and the others could no longer stand it and make a move against him, he would have the chance to wipe out all of them in one go.He could also use the opportunity to deal with all the parasites within the family and replace them with younger members who were capable and upright. After all, a new head needed new blood. Laurence naturally had to build a team of his own too.Jane said, "That goes without saying. Whoever takes

Once they entered the house, Jane urged Laurence and Noelle to eat.The ledgers were placed on the coffee table, and the elders casually flipped through them. Jane closed the book in her hands and said, "These books are so perfect that anyone who knows what they're doing would immediately realize that something is wrong. Someone unfamiliar with bookkeeping would just think the records are incredibly thorough."Serenity said, "Exactly. It's obvious that something is off. Laurence is doing the right thing by auditing the accounts first. Whether it's the family's internal accounts or the company's finances, everything needs to be reviewed."It's not just about finding faults with his enemies. He needs to know exactly where things stand."Lilian chimed in. "That's right. Laurence understands that."She flipped through the ledgers again. "But he brought back so many at once. When will he even finish reviewing them?""He said Noelle will look through them. These are the accounts for th

"Noelle, finished eating? Come sit."Spotting Noelle, Lilian called her over.Noelle walked over and greeted each of the elders respectfully."How was it? Did you enjoy the food?" Jane asked, "Austin personally cooked tonight's dinner."Noelle replied, "It was delicious. Uncle Austin's cooking has never disappointed us."Of all the food she had eaten in her life, the best was made by Austin.No wonder Isabella now only ate food her husband cooked. She could barely stomach anything prepared by anyone else.Isabella had always been accustomed to the finer things in life.During Laurence’s occasional visits to Satbury, Noelle would accompany him, giving her a chance to enjoy Austin's cooking.Back then, she had insisted on maintaining her position as a servant and refused to eat at the same table as Laurence. However, Isabella and Austin would invite her inside to join them for meals. She was stubborn and unyielding in front of Laurence, but she could never bring herself to be th

The bodyguard did not know where Manny was going, but it likely had to do with antiques.Laurence had made it clear that once he moved into the ancestral estate, he would hire experts to authenticate every decorative piece inside. They would verify each item whether anything had been replaced. If they discovered any authentic pieces were missing, he would report it to the police.Tony's family was now in a difficult position.If they did not spend a fortune buying back the genuine antiques they had sold, Laurence would report them to the police. They would be charged with theft, and given the enormous value of the items involved, they could face severe sentences.However, buying back the antiques would cost them a great deal of money. They also had to do it in secret without Laurence finding out. If he caught them in the act, he would send them to prison all the same.Laurence did not return just to become the head of the Longbottom family, for he had also come to avenge his famil
