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

The same thing happened to me. Charging me $9.99 for subscription When I never subscribed. It’s difficult to unsubscribe. No one wants to talk to you in person either. Author is horrible.
Cat Hawkins, then why are we only getting to read a chapter or two per day, and very short Chapters at that?
have you noticed that all they drink in this book is warm water or pure alcohol?
Are YOU the Author?
Yeah,it’s definitely frustrating!
If this book is finished where do we get it i looked a lot of places
Since 4/16/23. I have spent $728 on this ONE book. The last $139 was a policy change causing a subscription after a $9.99 purchase on 4/16/24 & they began taking $9.99 out of my checking account PER WEEK! I have had to cancel my debit card to stop them. I wasn't notified of this change. Were you?

I can't find the comments that I left for all of you to know what was going on. I don't know if they deleted it or not, because I told them I was going to warn the readers. I'm about to paste info under every one of your names, & it's the same content, just to let each know what they are doing to me
Can your coworker give us a bit of tea, also if it’s finished why is the author only dropping a few pages at a time just a thought.
I hope the author wraps it up doom.
New characters ugh
This book is finish. My coworker has finish this book
I know it is getting to long, I had stopped reading it for some time. Now I am annoyed again. Have the baby already and where is the couple romance it's so generic now. Sonny why is he still not growing up he is young child but adult conversations. then grow him. Need more couple love
Clive & Elisa Stone’s brother
it is sad to not be valued more by the author. I am wondering if this book will ever end. Like fools, we keep hoping it will end some day..
Only having 3 small chapters at a time is so annoying and ridiculous. I don’t understand why we just can’t have the whole series.
Everyone's point of view is right and should be respected the book is very good but this 3 chapters is not fair to use it should have been noted at the beginning that the book was not finished
Now to be insulted with a few minutes a day of reading
20 bonus points for a quarter of a page or blank pages is not good at all
Even with the negative comments regarding the shortness of the chapters, she still continues to do the same thing. We get three short chapters that go absolutely nowhere. Will probably be bringing this story at your end. Losing interest very quickly. Don’t think I will read anything by this author s
Wow that was short and sweet, read those couple chapters in 12 minutes, I never got either Bonus.............
