However, Callia forced Noelle to sit down again. When Noelle tried to get up again, Callia deliberately put on a miffed expression and said, “Noelle, are you trying to say I picked a bad spot for you? I’m trying to get you to sit, but you don’t want to. That means you’re complaining that the spot I picked for you is bad.”“Oh, no, Ms. Callia, that’s really not what I mean.”Noelle knew Laurence doted on Chloe and Callia the most, and she liked Callia very much too. However, she was just Laurence’s bodyguard and had to avoid sitting at the same table as her master as much as possible.“Since that’s not what you meant, you should just sit there. It’ll make me very sad if you refuse to sit.”Noelle could not argue against Callia and she looked pleadingly toward Laurence, hoping he could help by telling her to go to her corner and stand guard.However, she did not expect that her pleading look would cause Laurence to be berated by Callia.Callia scolded Laurence and Chase, “The two o

Laurence knew Chase was missing his great-nana and comforted him, “Your great-nana lived longer than even Doc did. She’s gone to be with your great-gramps now.“They’ll only be at ease in heaven if we all live well.”“Great-Nana was the best. It’s impossible not to miss her.” Chase added, “She must be with Great-Gramps now. I heard from Dad that Great-Nana and Great-Gramps had a really good relationship.“When Great-Gramps passed away, Great-Nana nearly succumbed to her grief. She might have looked very strong, but on the inside, she was quite fragile. She really missed him a lot.”Laurence said, “That’s understandable. It’s only natural to take a long time to grieve the loss of the person you’re closest to.”When his parents and the rest of his family were murdered, he was only a year old and slowly forgot even his biological parents’ faces over the years as he grew up.It was only after he grew capable enough to return to Havenmill that he saw from photos others had taken of hi
Chapter 5180
Noelle went quiet for a while before turning to Laurence. Laurence pulled a stoic look. When their eyes met, Laurence spoke sternly, “What? Are my instructions not clear enough for you? “Maybe you are just not willing to taste test the food for me.” Noelle glanced at the refreshments delivered by the housekeeper. She replied respectfully, “Sir, the fruit and pastries at the O’Connors’ house are definitely fresh and tasty.Isabella was known for her refined palate. Her home only stocked the best of the best. Chase said, “We have several fridges at home. Mom has one of her own, and what she eats is totally separate from what the rest of us got.” This was the truth. The food Austin cooked for Isabella was works of art that never repeated. Austin would just whip something quick for the kids. Though the ingredients were fresh, the cooking lacked the finesse found in the food for Isabella. It was a good thing Austin was an amazing chef. Even his lazy dishes were so good that t
Chapter 5179
“Xavier is a decent guy.” After much silence, Laurence put in a good word for Xavier. Chase fell silent in his thoughts before sighing. “That’s true. No one else but him has the guts to ask for Callia’s hand in marriage.” “I wouldn’t say that. My mentor is very fond of Callia. She constantly talks about bringing the families together through marriage, but Oliver feels the same way about Callia as I do. I guess it’s more of a sibling bond since we grew up together.” Lilian absolutely adored Callia and wanted to drop Oliver at Serenity’s place, so Serenity could raise him as her son-in-law. At least, Oliver and Callia could get close as children. The senior family members wanted the kids to spend time together and grow up with a strong bond. Things would work out better for them in the future. Their feelings for each other were indeed deep, but the affection was like siblings, not love. Lilian often nagged Oliver about not falling for a cute and pretty girl like Callia. Oli
Chapter 5178
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

Having one page chapters is ridiculous. People stay because we invested too much to not know the ending. The author mentioned SHAMELESS a lot. She is shameless to be giving us a chapter a day!!!
I think this book are for the aged !! repeats sqeezed in every chapter !! I can't wait this book to be done !!
Hope the author will consider not repeating by describing characters over and over again I have started skipping chapters as they are repetitive.
Petty people? ... pfft
And no one deserves to be made to work every single day that’s slavery. You get what you pay for by reading the chapters if you don’t like the time frame wait til it’s a complete book. Or just get a life cause there are those that are tired of reading your negative shit.
What a bunch of petty people. Guaranteed none of you have the balls to be an author yet you criticize anything that comes your way. If it pisses you off so much delete the app. These writers are people not machines. They have lives and families to care for as well. Life is never perfect for anyone.
omg ... i waited 3 days for this
Don’t you think the author deserves a little time off once in a while?
Sonny is so cute I was wondering when Duncan and Liberty will get married
The author of this book is either lazy or just plain stupid. If he was smarter he would know that we are all board with his crap. Do you pay by chapter or what.
this wasn't worth waiting for, I hope this gets better and soon
Is this all we get after waiting for chapters, just three days ...
