Noelle's cheeks flushed. She pushed Laurence away and walked to the desk to tidy it up.Laurence followed her and said, "You can leave these things to the secretary.""It's just a small task. There's no need to bother the secretary. He already has plenty of work to do and is busy enough as it is."Laurence was incredibly efficient, so it was exhausting to work alongside him. Noelle knew that very well.Although she had always been his bodyguard, she had stayed by his side every day and was practically inseparable from him. The amount of work he could finish in one day would take other people two, or even several days to complete.People often said that the employees who managed to establish themselves at Longtail Group all had great stress tolerance.They simply could not adapt to the workload without the ability to withstand pressure.Things had been a little easier when Sonny was around, since Laurence would not push himself so hard. However, after Sonny returned to Wiltspoon,

Before Doc passed away, he had personally trained Laurence. Most of his network and many of his resources had been handed over to Laurence as well.Darien felt relieved as he said, "Thank goodness our family has never offended Laurence. We can still collaborate with him on two major projects and don't have to worry about getting caught in his revenge. Cian, from now on, whenever Roxy comes looking for you, don't see her. Don't even let her into Yarrow Corp."It's not enough to simply refuse her advances. You have to keep your distance. Don't give her the slightest chance. Our family can't afford to offend Laurence."Cian hummed. "I understand, Grandpa."Laurence had no idea what Darien and Cian’s phone conversation was about, nor did he need to know. Although Darien was old, he was a shrewd man who understood the deeper meaning behind Laurence's words.Roxy wanted to secure a way out for her family through marriage and find herself a powerful ally.Not on his watch!As long as R

After a moment of silence, Cian replied, "I know, Grandpa. I don't have feelings for her. She used to look down on me, and now she's sucking up to me, chasing after me, and showering me with gifts. It makes me feel like I have the upper hand."I haven't outright rejected her, but there's no way I'll ever accept her. Of course I know her intentions. Besides, the Longbottom family has undergone a power shift. From now on, her own family will have to keep their heads down."They don't even have the chance to leave Havenmill. Laurence has them under constant surveillance, so they can't get away. Their only future is decline. I'm not stupid enough to fall for an opportunistic woman like her."The Yarrow family would be implicated too. Cian was Darien's most favored grandson, so he certainly was not lacking in intelligence. He was also not the type to let his lust rule him. Besides, Roxy’s beauty was not exactly breathtaking.Darien felt much reassured after hearing Cian's answer. "Glad

The people would be happy enough if the O'Connor family left them alone.After exchanging pleasantries, the two men got down to business.Yarrow Corporation and Longbottom Corporation had two projects they wanted to collaborate on. The former placed particular importance on this partnership, which was why Darien came in person to discuss the details.The two talked for a long time. Noelle listened quietly from the side, never interrupting and following Laurence's train of thought.Every so often, she refilled their teacups.They spent over an hour negotiating before finally reaching an agreement.Laurence made several calls, asking a few executives to come upstairs. After everyone had discussed the details with Darien, they agreed to sign the contract the next day.Darien picked up his teacup in satisfaction and took a sip. After setting it down, he checked the time and turned to Laurence. "Mr. Longbottom, I should get going."Laurence, Noelle, and the others stood. Laurence ex

Even if Darien did not know about Laurence and Noelle's relationship, he would still have treated Noelle politely.She was fiercely loyal and exceptionally skilled. She was certainly more than qualified to serve as a bodyguard. Darien respected anyone with genuine strength and ability."Noelle, have a seat too."Laurence suddenly turned to her, not letting her stand behind him as she had always done.Noelle hesitated for a moment before agreeing.She brought over a stool, placed it several feet away from Laurence, and slowly sat down.Once she was seated, Laurence poured her a cup of tea and set it in front of her. Only then did he turn to Darien. "Mr. Yarrow, please have some tea."Darien observed every one of Laurence's actions.It seemed the rumors were true. Laurence intended to marry Noelle and make her the matriarch of the Longbottom family. Whenever he saw Laurence in the past, Noelle would always stand beside him. Now, Laurence was asking her to sit down.He was no lon
Chapter 5608
Now that Laurence and Noelle had officially become a couple, everyone in Havenmill knew about their relationship. Roxy practically went mad with jealousy.It was not that she loved Laurence. They were from the same family, so marriage had never been an option. She had deliberately pursued him before just to get closer.Even so, she could not help but feel jealous. Noelle was just a bodyguard. What made her worthy of Laurence's love? What gave her the right to be the lady of the Longbottom family?Roxy used to be the most privileged lady in Havenmill, but after Laurence took power, she became an ordinary "Ms. Longbottom". Not only had her status plummeted, but there were plenty of people waiting to see her family make a fool of themselves. Some were even wondering when her family would be wiped out.Unwilling to just accept her fate, she was determined to change things around. Thus, she set her sights on Cian Yarrow. She had known him for more than ten years, but she never conside

I would like to know, too.
Why lot of chapters are missing ...

which chapter are you on? I am on 1180 and it's not updating since yesterday morning
Thank you, Dear Author! You update this book constantly!! I'm in love with this story, and you're an artist with your narration. I'm looking forward to reading more. Thank you for being amazing!!
And why would Liberty lose her business because of Duncan’s mom? Is he such a pansy that he would let his mom hurt Liberty and Sonny?
Duncan needs to grow some balls and tell his mom to stay out of his life and he needs to kick Lilly out of his homes. Why does his mom have access to his homes when his money doesn’t come from family money?
I hope the secretary lets Duncan know his mom is nosey and so is Lily
I really hate that I can only read a few chapters now and then have to wait for more chapters. I really like this book but I don’t think I will read another one after this. I can buy books from other apps for way less and read the whole book. I would stop this book if I didn’t pay so much to read...
