Chapter 5619
There was a flash of hatred in Roxy's eyes.She hated Laurence and Noelle. She despised them more than anyone else.Laurence had ruined her reputation, while Noelle was the object of her jealousy. However, Roxy was certain that she and Jolie were not the only women in Havenmill who envied Noelle.Sometimes Roxy even resented her father and, especially, her grandfather. If he had been capable of carrying out such a massive scheme 30 years ago, why did he not make sure to finish the job? If he had, Laurence and Noelle would not be here now. Instead, Roxy would be the Longbottom heiress, the most prominent young lady in Havenmill.30 years ago, Laurence had only been a one-year-old child. Even though his bodyguard and nanny protected him, they all eventually died. Yet, her grandfather failed to find Laurence. Her grandfather had later suspected that Laurence was the adopted son raised by the Johnson family's eldest son's wife, but he could not prove it. Eventually, they lost all t
Chapter 5618
The entire Dorsey family supported Jolie in challenging Noelle. They thought Noelle was cold and masculine, lacking the softness and femininity a woman should have. On the other hand, Jolie was attractive, and her family background was far superior to Noelle's. Laurence simply had not been exposed to enough gentle, soft-spoken women. Once he met one, he would realize that a sweet, tender woman was better suited to a powerful man like him. Noelle was far too tough.If Jolie could win Laurence's heart and become the Longbottom family's matriarch, the Dorsey family's status would rise along with hers, and the benefits would be unimaginable.Roxy believed that if her best friend could win Laurence over, her own family would no longer have to live in fear. Their standing within the family would remain the same, and the future matriarch would also listen to her.It was the ambitions of several people that had driven Jolie to make this visit."Where are you? Let's talk in person."Joli
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
Chapter 5616
"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

Does this book even end.
Such a shame at the beginning I read for hours now only a couple of minutes these authors are a joke never will I read with these people ever
I love the book but now it’s a waste of time with one or two chapters a day. I can’t believe one chapter had on three pages. Please post at least 10 chapters a day.
I think this u s a pain in the butt,, uou get to read maybe 2 or 3 chapters a week? this sucks. it's a long drawn out story.
I’m done with this. The main story and characters are lost. This is going nowhere and nothing but a waste of time and money.
I am so disappointed, this book was so different and interesting, now I find myself loosing interest and just thinking of dropping this book.
I’m done after the money is done. I am bored with just one or two pages. I have spent to much on this sight and will not read here again.
I was about to get excited, alas... its hanging again.
I’m staying until it asks me to recharge!!! I won’t waste any more money on this crap!
Your getting worse as an author
I hate that Kevin has to dress like a woman oh well let’s do more than 2 pages
