Laurence would handle the boys’ accommodation behind the scenes. If Laurence were seen with the Johnsons, Manny would know that he was the guy they had been searching for. Laurence wanted to keep the Longbottoms guessing. Unable to wipe out the threat, the Longbottoms could only watch as Laurence rose to power in Havenmill. Longtail Group dabbled in every business venture Longbottom Corporation was involved in, making both companies direct competitors. While a partnership was an option, Laurence did not want to work together with Manny. Longbottom Corporation was his once he got his payback and brought the Longbottoms to their knees. Manny and his people spent three decades keeping the wheels turning in the office. Little did they know, they were only doing the legwork for Laurence. “I wonder if Chloe can make time. I miss her,” Chase remarked. Laurence turned to him. “I hope you’re not getting any idea about Chloe. Chloe isn’t into dating someone younger like you. She wo

“Laurence, let’s head over to the gazebo and catch up a bit. I’ll get the housekeeper to bring some refreshments.” Chase glanced at Noel, who was still as icy as ever. Noelle did not care whether she got on Laurence’s nerves or not. As Laurence’s bodyguard, Noelle was responsible for his safety. “Alright. Let’s go.” Even though Laurence talked a big game about not caring about Noelle, he wanted to find a shade for Noelle to stay out of the sun. With a big grin, Chase led the way. The pair quickly stepped into the gazebo in the backyard. Before they could even take a seat, Noelle hurried over and pulled out a pack of tissues to give the bench a good wipe down. She then stepped to the side, so the men could sit down. Chase stole a glance at Laurence. Sure enough, Laurence pulled another grimace. Noelle sure saw herself as nothing more than a staff member. Everything she did centered around him. It made sense why Laurence went silent when Callia spoke of Noelle. Laur

After giving the instructions to the housekeeper, Chase took quick paces ahead. Laurence told Noelle, “I told you not to follow me.” “I want to keep my master safe.” Noelle answered in a rigid, no-nonsense manner.“Noelle, can we drop the formal title, please?” “Sir.” Laurence stopped and cocked his head back to snap an angry look at Noelle. Noelle halted her footsteps, staying six feet away from Laurence. Though her expression was a picture of respect, her eyes flickered with determination. Even if looks could kill, Noelle would not back down. Her late mentor wanted her to stay by Laurence’s side and keep him safe from harm. Noelle gave her word that no harm would come to Laurence so long as she lived. However, when she was gone, she would ensure he lived on. In the face of danger, she would jump in and give everything to secure a chance of survival for Laurence. Noelle was determined to keep her promise to the very end, even if it meant giving up her life. “Lau

Laurence smiled and said, “Someone has to do the job.” Heath was in a better position than Laurence because he had cousins to share the burden. Meanwhile, Laurence was on his own. He did not have any family. “Laurence, are you going down for a nap? Chase, take Laurence to the guest room,” Austin muttered.Before Laurence could reply, Austin sent Chase to escort him to a room. Rising to his feet, Austin uttered, “I’ll close my eyes for a bit. I didn’t sleep well last night.” “My dad hasn't slept a wink ever since he found out Callia was coming.” Laurence burst out laughing. That sounded about right. Callia was the center of the universe in the York family. She was adored and spoiled by everyone alike. They just could not help but dote on Callia. The way Laurence saw it, Callia and Chloe were like sisters to him. Austin said, “I was too excited to sleep. If you had been a girl, your mom and I wouldn’t be in this situation.” “No way Mom is like you. It’s not like I
Chapter 5174
After putting Koben down for a nap, Madden returned to his room and unpacked his things from school. He took every item out and put it in its own place. He took his bedding and dumped it in the washing machine for a wash cycle. Though Madden was an heir of the Yorks, his parents insisted that he would do things himself. The rule was not extended just to him. Koben, the youngest, was raised the same way. After waking up each morning, Koben would get dressed, put his shoes and socks on, wash up, and head downstairs with his backpack. The housekeeper would take him to preschool. Rowan and Eden took a hands-off approach, not spoiling their kids like other parents would. It would be time to show Koben around the kitchen once he was older. Rowan said the boys of the York family were expected to master a wide range of skills. By beginning at an early age, they could learn more and practice until those skills became instinctive.These skills were bound to come in handy. Rowan emphasiz

“I’m hanging up, Callie.” “Alright. Just get Koben to stop crying.” “Got it.” After the call, Madden turned to his tearful brother and said, “Callie said that we can go enjoy a few days at Uncle Austin’s when our cousins start their break.“You must promise not to throw a fuss before they come back, or I won’t take you to Callie.” Koben dried his tears right away and replied, “I won’t cry. I promise. When are the others coming back?” Since many of his older cousins were still in school, there was no telling when they would return to the family home. Koben was worried about the long wait. After much thought, Madden uttered, “I’m in high school, and the term has ended. The rest should be out too. Their schools are not in Wiltspoon, so they can’t head back here right away. They would need to wait for their parents to be available to return together.” Only the children of Callum, Alex, and Rowan stayed in Wiltspoon for education. Everyone else had either graduated and s
