Noelle said, "What's there to thank me for?"She knew that after her status changed, there would be certain things she would have to handle even if she did not enjoy them."When I was your bodyguard, I fulfilled my duties as your bodyguard. Anything beyond that wasn't part of my job, so I never overstepped my boundaries."She spoke seriously. "We're in a relationship now, and we'll be husband and wife in the future. I know what the wife of a prominent family is expected to do, and I'll fulfill my responsibilities as the matriarch. I won't give anyone a reason to laugh at you."Even if she had no experience, she could learn from others. After watching Jane and Serenity handle all kinds of family affairs, Noelle understood the dos and don’ts of the lady of the house.A matriarch's position came with certain restrictions. Whatever she did, she had to consider the family's reputation, as well as her own and her relatives' standing. She could not simply do as she pleased.Well, Noelle
Chapter 5614
Yarrow Corporation was bold enough to take the risk. Darien valued Laurence's abilities and believed he could secure his position. That was why he was willing to collaborate with Longbottom Corporation even though the latter's internal power struggles had not settled yet.Strictly speaking, Yarrow Corporation was very fortunate to secure two major projects with Longbottom Corporation. The profits from those projects would be substantial, and Yarrow Corporation stood to gain far more from the partnership. They needed the collaboration more than Longbottom Corporation did. After Laurence dropped the hint, Darien would undoubtedly interfere in his grandson's love life. He would not allow Cian to marry Roxy.Noelle glanced at Laurence and asked, "Are you getting back at her for constantly pursuing you and ruining both our reputations back then?""Yep, it's revenge. It's not just her. Neither her sister nor any of her female cousins will be marrying into a wealthy family. I'm also goin
Chapter 5613
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

getting frustrated that these adds we need to watch won't load, so I can't read.
I agree with the other comments. This is going on far too long with no progress. Besides, it's not interesting and it's costly!
How is Celine have a sister in law if Caroline’s the only daughter and her as adopted daughter?
I am only at 1955 chapters. How do you know it stops around 2000?
That’s is the one big question for all of the readers to know. What is the story behind Hayden pretending to be a man? Yet the story is long from being complete, you can tell how this author is outlining situations in these chapters.
This story has cost a lot of money to not have gotten to the end. When will the next episodes start and will that end the story. I will not pay to start a new story without finishing this one. It’s not fair to your readers. I wish this in a regular form it would be a lot cheaper. I really enjoyed
to be honest, I am really frustrated with the writer. after this many chapters, and cost to read this far, we should be alot further in the story line then we are. there's ALOT of constant repeating, which was likely $30 of wasted money on repeats. 2000 chapters and still not at the wedding?
Too many characters now. Seems like all of the York's love story will be in this book. Then the title shouldn't be Married at First Sight anymore but all about the York.
Tired of waiting on updates of other love stories. I want to read more about Zachary.
What’s the point of Hayden pretending to be a man with a fake apple, fake voice, and flat chest? She could just be a woman who likes comfortable clothes and has masculine qualities?
I just need more chapters sooner….
It’s like the original story line has been totally lost in repetitive BS.
We don’t want to see anymore couples in this story! No Hugh And Caroline. We want an ending to Zackery and Serenity!
They’re making a lot of money on these short chapters that is all they seem to care about
Repeating the story of Elisa pursuing Zachery now for Mr Hayden and Celine. How very dull. It’s time to wrap it up
More of the same.. dull book.. terrible story lines. The editor of this book should have told the author to keep it interesting.
It certainly is not progress into a great story line
This story is so short. What is the matter with this author.
