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
Chapter 5611
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

Another slow update. Smh
It is really dishonest to not disclose that this book is a work in progress, I would never had started to read this novel had I known that it was not a completed work.
I read from someone's post that they release 3 chapters a day but nothing since last night, also what is the deal with serving guests warm water during a hot summer in this book do they live in Alaska???
Writer, you should end the story while its nice & sensible. Please don't drag this too much that in the end you ruin your own story, such a waste. I read long books & 90percent. The writer ruins their own story while dragging their story longer. I thought your different but sadly not!
Haha! This story is so beautiful but the writer is starting to stoop low just toake the story longer! Anyway want to bet for the next chapters for Serenity & Zachary? I bet Serenity will receive another photo of last night, this time Zachary is making out with the Jenna character!
Hahaha! Right!
This is funny! The writer will keep Serenity & Zachary parts because she's really planning to ruin their relationship this time using Jenna character. See the night when Zachary should pick up his wife don't want to come! This is funny the writer pro long the story by ruining her characters! Haha!
If this is how your ending the story and spending so much money and time i would believe you owe your readers a refund.
I agree. Please Stop releasing 3 chapters at a time
After days of not reading, finally caught up only to read multiple pages of the fishers and yet again no ending near by
This 3 chapters a day is stupid I was recalling into this book couldn’t put it down now I am loosing interest fast
More chapters have been devoted to Kevin, without progress. ...
The point behind dragging this out is $$$$$. Scanning has lead you to a false positive assumption towards grammar and factual errors, Mona Par Bar. I refuse to read other offerings on this site. Books have an ending. Not 5,000 chapters.
4 chapters. It must be really taxing to work an hour ( at most) per day. Sarcasm meant. It would take less time if writer kept factual outline and adhered to it.
I agree!! What’s the point behind this? I’m sure to fine my own ending to this story as I’ve scanned through most of the books here and only find this one, with every few grammatical errors and very interesting; I simply want the ending but unfortunately it doesn’t seem as if we’re going to get ther
Can you please release several chapters at once? At this speed it makes you not want to read other novels because they are unfinished and we get tired of waiting on chapters to be released. We want to read from start to finish.
