Chapter 5621
"Of course, an apology is needed. Otherwise, Laurence might come after us, and we'll both be in trouble."Jolie frowned and said, "If we have to bow our heads and apologize over something like this, why did you tell me to go over and provoke them in the first place? Weren't you just putting me in danger?""Were you scared?""What if I actually do replace Noelle? What do I have to be afraid of then?"The position of the lady of the Longbottom family was simply too tempting for Jolie to give up.Besides, after seeing Laurence in person, she had genuinely fallen for him at first sight. She dreamed of becoming his woman. She would even be willing to be his mistress.However, Laurence probably would not keep a mistress around. She heard that the elders around him were all devoted to their partners, and having grown up under their influence, he was bound to be just as faithful.Once a man like that fell in love with her, he would remain devoted for the rest of his life, and she would
Chapter 5620
Roxy watched as Jolie drank the coffee and asked, "What exactly did you say to Noelle when you met her? Were you too arrogant? Did you get on her nerves? Was that why she refused to talk to you and had you thrown out instead?"Having dealt with Noelle for several years, Roxy knew her reasonably well.Noelle was cold and could seem indifferent to everyone, but she was a woman with principles. If she had agreed to meet Jolie, she would not have ordered someone to throw Jolie out without saying anything.Jolie must have been too arrogant. Roxy specifically told her to talk to Noelle, explain that she was in love with Laurence, and say she wanted to compete with Noelle for his love fairly and squarely. That would have been enough to get under Noelle's skin.However, Jolie looked down on Noelle, and because she was Roxy's best friend, she probably treated Noelle however she wanted. Someone with Noelle's temperament would never tolerate such disrespect."Ahem…"Jolie choked on her coff
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

This book is not what I expected
Guess I’ll read these 3 little chapter
Needs to complete this novel
Stop sending all these other books when I can’t finish the one I have reading over a year.
Well I guess they have blocked me from posting my comments now. When I started to send a comment saying I had exceeded the limit
I know she should for sure have had the baby by now it’s been way more than 9 months in real time.
A waste this novel could have ended 500 chapters ago
Myself as well. I have never bought a book so costly and it's unsatisfied. Kimberly, how long has Serenity been pregnant??
I agree with all the comments made and I'm going to cancel my subscription!!!
I’ve been reading this book for a solid year! I don’t understand why the author put the book out there before it was even finished. I’ve spent a fortune on this book and who writes a 3460 chapter book? This is multiple books all in one. Usually I spend $30-40 a book I’ve spent 100’s of $$ on this.
This is ridiculous! Do you not know how to bring this war to a close and move on. I am ready to cancel my subscription. I have already spent far too much on one book and sadly it appears to be a continuing bleed. Good Bye!
You said I had some that I had not read, wrong, have read that earlier and am waiting for more, not starting anything else until this is finished ...️
Helen I’m going on 18 months and I see no ending in site. With writer doing just 3 small chapters every day it’s going to be a very long time before we see a ending.
I have reading this book for a very long time and I really hate that it repeats storylines over and never gets to end. Believe me when I say at some point this author will take us off this storyline before it ends. They will go back to Austin and Isabelle. They keep stringing us along. I
I’ve been reading this for six months and trying to get maybe even longer trying to get to the end of it so I can read something else but I love what’s going on right now
I would never read another book from this app. This was pathetic today. Half of the chapter was unnecessary.
I don’t plan on reading until every Saturday from here on out unless I see a dump of characters. But will keep up with my daily check in so I do lose my reading streak.
I’m so tired of these 3 little chapters at a time. Can’t you write faster????
I’m not starting a new book till this one is over
I agree with all the other comments!
Longer or more chapters
This is getting very boring. All of this could’ve been said in one chapter boring.
I think the chapters be longer. I think Caroline and Liberty should leave town and let Belinda died alone. In addition Liberty and Caroline start a new Fischer company in another town.
I think the chapters should be longer!!!
