Picking up where Jane left off, Lilian said, "Those people are just jealous that you have Laurence’s heart. You’re the subject of envy. They are just bitter that they can’t have what you have. “Live your own life. No one else matters.”“When Ben and I were dating, didn’t people gossip about us too? I didn’t care about what they said because they were just jealous.” Jane had not found her biological parents when she first married Ben. She had no idea that she came from a powerful family. Most people believed that Jane did not deserve Ben because he was the heir of the Johnsons, the leader of FC & Co. Meanwhile, Jane was just the owner of a tiny café. Though her adoptive parents were well off, their wealth was nothing compared to that of the Johnsons, the richest family in Annenburg. “Besides, you should trust Laurence to protect you. He won’t let anyone talk badly about you. He is a nice guy, but very few can handle his wrath when he’s upset.” Laurence was patient and broad-m

“Mom, Master… Don’t you think I’m not good enough for Mr. Laurence?” Lilian gave Noelle a light rap on the head. Jane glared at Noelle. Noelle rubbed the sore spot and cried in pain, “Master.” It had been ages since Lilian did that to her. “I don’t want to hear that coming from you again. Don’t you dare think about it. I can’t stand to hear it. Who said you weren’t good enough? Spill the beans. I’m going to have a word with these people. How do you not deserve Laurence? You’re an outstanding woman, unlike any other.“Laurence was first to choose you, and he’s crazy about you. If not, I would’ve let Crybaby Ollie go after you instead. I adore you. You’re the ideal daughter-in-law to me.” Noelle stayed by Laurence’s side to keep him safe. Though she was also business-savvy enough to help Laurence at work, she did not have the chance to shine because Laurence and Sonny were great at what they did. The public would think Noelle was crude and only good at fighting. However, h

The medicinal herb garden earned its name from the wide variety of healing plants grown there.Usually, Noelle and Laurence tended to the plants themselves. No one else was allowed to mess with the herbs. The crops could be ruined by untrained hands. Lilian took the load off Noelle and Laurence. They could be at ease, with Lilian overseeing the garden. Emerging from the cabin in the garden, Lilian spotted Noelle and smiled. “Hey, Noelle. I heard the gate opening, so I came out to check it out.” Security was tight around Laurence’s residence. “Master, did I disrupt your rest?” Jane came out of the cabin too. Noelle said apologetically, “I didn’t know where to go, so I dropped by. I might have interrupted you and Mom.” “Silly girl. Why are you being so formal with us? Jane and I weren’t resting. We were just chatting. Come inside the cabin. Don’t just stand there. You look like you have a lot on your mind.“Come inside and tell me. I will help you no matter what it is.”
Chapter 5437
Laurence looked at Noelle, then at the necklace she had placed on his palm. He asked, “Are two days enough? You will give me an answer, right?” “Sir, I’m never one to back down or run away.” Noelle was flustered and at a loss at first, but her mind had never been clearer now. With two days to think things through, Noelle believed she would give Laurence the right answer. “Noelle, the only thing you need to consider is whether you want to marry me and spend the rest of your life with me. Nothing else should carry weight. Don’t worry about the opposing voices. “The Longbottoms are my family, but I don’t see them as one. I’m only regaining leadership over the family to stop my enemy from occupying the seat. “They have no say in my marriage, and the opinions that matter belong to those who have always loved to see us together. Mom, Master, and my family all love you.” Fearing that Noelle would worry about opposition from the Longbottoms, Laurence repeatedly emphasized to her
Chapter 5436
Laurence’s finger pressed against Noelle’s lips, stopping any words of refusal. With his gentle eyes, he said tenderly, “Nothing else matters so long as we love each other. Noelle, say you’ll be mine. I promise to only love you like Ben loves Mom. It’s just you and only you in this lifetime. “Don’t worry about the Longbottoms getting in the way. They have no right to dictate what I do. Marriage is my own, and I want to be with the one I want. No one can stop us from being together,” Laurence said with absolute confidence. Jane had a point, but her words did not deter Laurence. Besides, Jane was basically suggesting he tell Noelle how he felt. “Noelle, the road ahead is full of challenges since I have just taken over the family. I don’t want our feelings to be used against us, nor do I want them to drive us apart. I can’t stand other women getting close to me. My heart belongs to you.“If you feel overwhelmed by it all, I’ll give you two days to think it over. What do you say?”
Chapter 5435
Laurence picked up the necklace again and walked behind Noelle, intending to fasten it around her neck.“Mr. Laurence, no.” Noelle snapped back to her senses and hurriedly stopped him. “Sir, this necklace is far too precious. I can’t accept it.”It was a necklace meant to be worn only by the wife of the head of the Longbottoms.She was nothing more than Laurence’s bodyguard. What right did she have to wear something so valuable?Laurence gazed at her deeply. “Noelle, I bought this necklace to give to you as a token of my love. If you don’t want it, then it has no meaning. I’ll throw it away.”With those words, he gripped the necklace as if to toss it aside.“Mr. Laurence!”Noelle quickly stopped him again.This necklace cost him tens of millions. How could he just throw it away?“Mr. Laurence, please don’t force me,” she said helplessly. “We’re not a good match. I’m just an orphan.”“I’m an orphan too. My family is gone. I was raised by Doc and the others. You know that. We

I think Zach has seen more than enough to make a determination as to what type of individual his wife is. He needs to come clean before Elise returns.
Too much repetition in the story to fill in the chapters which are way too costly. Will have to stop.
liberty as a woman,doesn't she have any 6th sense that her husband have a mistress? this is very sensitive to a woman
How can I read this book without it costing me money a few chapters??? Wtf
I think this is getting to be alot and the story never stops. First the money you are charging if a person wants to read more is crazy. It does not cost that much if you are buying a book which I would rather do at this moment. You are saying the same thing over and over again.
$5,000/month is a lot of money. What does Liberty use $5,000 on?? This is becoming extremely childish and frustrating
The amount of money he makes per month is delusional for his job. And it has been said multiple times now, just wasting time. Let’s move on to something new…I’m sure the next chapter will be the Hunt relatives doing the same thing we have seen the entir book…
Hi please stop stretching the story
The writing is very immature, the editing is terrible. However I am not sure I can continue to read at this expense. I can buy books online for much cheaper written by well known authors with good editors. I can’t believe I got sucked in to reading this with NO TRANSPARENCY AS TO THE COST PER PAGE.
I have kept reading the same explanations, from Serenity getting married with no love, to the explanations time and time again can you not keep repeating the same stuff to make chapters prolonged and etc. I get and got who is who and how they lived. It’s good just tired of re-reading in every chapt
Redundant for the past few chapters
The long drawn out story line I keep thinking it will get better. Nope you keep beating the same game of money over and over. How many times do we need to read Liberty was in finances for a job!!
The constant talk about money , the amounts of money is ridiculous
sad story of a married life
