"How much are we talking about? Given that you're so worried, is it a sum that will force us to empty our coffers?"Tony was silent for a moment before answering, "Not that bad, but it still makes me furious. We sold those things, and now we have to spend a fortune to buy them back. The money had been spent, yet now we have to pay it all back with interest."Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Laurence is despicable, so are those buyers who are jacking up their prices."Susan sat down and urged him to eat first. "No matter how angry you are, you still have to take care of your health. That boy would love nothing more than to see you fall sick. He's practically waiting for you to die. You're the backbone of our family. You can't afford to collapse."When she was younger, she hated and resented her husband. She helped him commit so many terrible deeds to secure their wealth, only for him to start fooling around with other women as soon as he became rich.His mistresses kept

Laurence was the only surviving descendant of the legitimate head of the family. Rumors about Tony’s past actions were everywhere. Everyone knew that the former head and his entire family had been murdered. Now that the rightful heir had finally taken over, Tony's family was trembling in fear.The buyers were taking advantage of the situation too. They knew Manny had no choice but to pay whatever price they demanded if he wanted the antiques back.After sneaking out, Manny went straight to the first person to whom he had sold an antique years ago. When the buyer demanded three times the original price, Manny called his father to report the amount. Tony's mood was completely ruined, and he barely touched his dinner.Now, he sat alone in his study, sitting in a black swivel chair and smoking one cigarette after another. The room was thick with the smell of tobacco.A knock sounded at the door.Tony remained silent for a long time before finally getting up to answer it. Susan stood o

"Lilian, you look more like Laurence's older sister than his mother. You don't look old at all. When you go shopping with Oliver, people must think you're siblings. They'd never believe you're mother and son."Serenity said, "Bring me some of the skincare products you've developed recently. I want to stay young forever."Lilian was a master of both medicine and poison, and she knew even more about skincare and anti-aging than Cheryl Johnson. Even Cheryl left her own family's products untouched and used the products that Lilian developed.Those skincare products were impossible to buy no matter how much money someone had. Lilian only gave them to the people closest to her. Outsiders had no way of getting them.People assumed that the women maintained their youthful appearances by frequently going to beauty salons or getting cosmetic injections. They had no idea it was because they used skincare products personally formulated by Lilian.Apart from those products, Lilian also taught

Serenity chimed in, "You can ask me too. Just like Jane, I've spent years handling household accounts.”As the lady of the house, she had to deal with bookkeeping regularly. After more than two decades of doing that, she was naturally very familiar with accounts.Noelle nodded in gratitude. She believed that she could handle the task.Although she appeared to be Laurence's bodyguard, she understood business matters. Whenever Laurence did not need her assistance, she would simply stand by quietly and observe.As for the household accounts, she had been managing Laurence's for years, so she knew how to read the accounts as well.Laurence immediately gathered the remaining books and excused himself before catching up to Noelle, saying, "Let's go to my study. It's quieter there."Noelle did not refuse.Jane watched the two of them go upstairs side by side and let out a long sigh of relief. "They've finally gotten together. At least my trip with Lilian wasn’t in vain."Lilian nodded

At Noelle's words, the elders exchanged glances and smiled.Noelle had finally let go of her worries and no longer questioned whether she was worthy of Laurence.Jane said, "Laurence, when are you going to propose to Noelle? Once you two have settled your marriage, it'll be time for us to head home too. We've been here so long that Ben is starting to complain."Actually, the main reason was that they were planning a trip together next month. They intended to travel for several months and return home around the holidays.Laurence looked at Noelle, his eyes crinkling in a smile. "I'll start by taking Noelle on some dates. We've never been apart and spend every day together, but we've never actually gone on dates."I want to experience what dating feels like too."I'll propose after we've been on a few dates. In any case, I won't let Noelle down. For the rest of my life, I'll give her all my tenderness and no one else."Noelle's cheeks turned slightly red.Serenity laughed. "Jane,
Chapter 5600
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

Waoh waoh waoh
So interesting .........
All I can do is roll my ...
That maybe so , but for one woman to already married to the guy that the other woman wants that is going to be a mess . I am looking for a fight and I want to see how Mr. York is going to handle that .
The first name of Mr. York needs to come out . There are too many people around Serenity that knows Mr. York first name , Elise and Serenity best cousin knows Mr. York’s first name . If someone come out with the first name then Serenity will know whom she is married to . Why is it taking so long?
I’m thinking the same things , also think she going to try destroy her business
What if Elisa hates her when she finds out that she’s married to him? She’s going to think she’s been fake and lied to her.
If Only Elisa knew! ...
Serenity and Elsie are modern minded kind of girls.
