Chapter 5617
Jolie tried to run after Noelle, but the two receptionists stopped her."Move!"Jolie glared at them and snapped, "Do you even know who I am? Roxy Longbottom is my best friend! If you take Noelle's side, I'll have Roxy fire both of you!"The receptionists did not budge. In fact, one of them said politely, "Ms. Dorsey, Ms. Noelle doesn't wish to speak with you. Please leave."Right now, Laurence was the one running the company, not Manny. Although Manny still held the title of COO, everyone knew it was merely a transitional arrangement. He would soon be returning and leaving the company.The new CEO certainly would not allow Manny to stay for long. His era was over. Roxy's name no longer carried the weight it once had.Jolie was merely Roxy's friend. Even if Roxy herself showed up, it would not make a difference."'Ms. Noelle'? She's just a bodyguard! You don't need to be afraid of her. What's so scary about her?"One of the receptionists could not help but retort, "If you thi

"If she’s in love with Mr. Laurence, she can confess to him directly. Why does she want to see me? I'm not going to help her pursue him."Noelle said coldly, "Turn her away. I'm busy."Then, after thinking it over, she changed her mind. "Actually, never mind. I'll see her myself."The visitor was Jolie Dorsey. The Dorsey family was a minor wealthy family in Havenmill, nowhere near the level of an elite family like the Longbottoms.Noelle, however, changed her mind because she remembered that Jolie was one of Roxy's close friends. The Dorsey family had previously done business with the Longbottoms, and it was Dorsey's persistent efforts to curry favor with Roxy that had secured those business opportunities for her family.So Jolie was interested in Laurence?Noelle was skeptical. She suspected Roxy had deliberately arranged for her friend to pursue Laurence just to make things difficult for Noelle. If Jolie managed to win him over, that would be ideal, but even if she failed, she

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

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
