Chapter 5623
Noelle stepped away and returned to her seat, gathering up the ledgers.She had nearly reviewed them all. If Laurence was free over the weekend, they could visit the secondary residence and settle the accounts with Stuart.Laurence, on the other hand, did not return to his own chair. Instead, he leaned against the front of his desk, holding his glass in his right hand. "Come in," he said in a low voice as he took a slow sip of water.The office door opened, and his secretary walked in. He stopped about ten feet away from Laurence and said respectfully, "Mr. Longbottom, Ms. Roxy Longbottom is here."Had Roxy come to demand justice for her best friend?Laurence hummed and said, "Let her in. Tell her I only have 10 minutes before my break is over. That's all the time she has."The secretary acknowledged Laurence’s instructions and left.A moment later, Roxy entered. She came alone, carrying two shopping bags."Master."She was no longer part of Longbottom Corporation, so she ad

"What did she say to you?"Laurence asked eagerly, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him and he was just there to hear the latest gossip."Not much. She was rude and deliberately provocative. As you suspected, it was most certainly Roxy who sent her to make trouble for me. She was incredibly disrespectful, so I walked away and told reception to call security and have her escorted out."She's not allowed to set foot inside Longbottom Corporation again. Does she really think having Roxy as her backing gives her the right to come here whenever she pleases?"Laurence applauded her and praised, "Well done, Noelle! That's exactly what you should've done. Be firm. If anyone else comes looking for trouble, do the same thing. Have security throw them out and make sure they never set foot inside Longbottom Corporation again."Longbottom Corporation is under my control now. You're my fiancée, and one day you'll be the CEO's wife. You have every right and authority to do that."No

"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

Too long. Never ending
I feel like they have changed writers a few times now...
Skipped this one too
It would be nice if you finished the book dragging it on is a little boring!
The babies pooped? I must have missed that, so I need to back up and go see what I missed! lol, lol, lol!
As usual I’m being told I have new chapters but I I’ve already read what’s there. Nothiing new just the author dangling another carrot and giving .
The way the storyline started you'd swear that you wouldn't even get bored of reading, that you'd be craving for more instead we lost interest it doesn't even make sense now, everyday tiring our eyes on the screens hoping for better chapters but it gets worse everytime THIS IS ME SIGNING OUT
Yes, I agree with all previous comments. The author obviously does not read these comments at all and I’m sick and tired of posting them. This app has lost me. I’m closing it down, just spent the last of my money. Good luck everyone.
Lost of time and money. Mr. Author I can assure you, I will not read (buy) another book from you.
Please stop this, really, I don’t care what the babies do or whatever, just don’t care.
Get on with the story . We don’t want to here about crying babies on a hole chapter.
Why are there only 4 pages to a chapter and not 5 like before? More B.S.!
You put something interesting in one than you drag it on and on with crap. Please load the book you have already made 10 times what the book cost . I think I’ll quit
You’ve got way too many characters in this story, and elaborate to much detail on them, and repeat the story over and over! Just stick to original story, and finish it, you’re losing everybody’s attention!
“ Has Clo-Clo been fed? I’ll feed her later. I’ll feed Connor now.” we have a lot to look forward to the next 6 to 8 chapters. I wonder if they’ll sleep, eat, and get their diaper changed. How exciting!
This book is so tiring and there are so many chapters you can make a mini series out of it.
Let’s get on. This is getting ridiculous
waste of time reading this chapter all about kids crying..so what!!! talk about writing a load of dribble....and we are paying this rubbish, load the book so we can skip rubbish chapters and move on.
Wasted chapters on how Clo-Clo and Connor eat sleep and poop. Enough already! Get on with the storyline. You have gotten so far off the original storyline that a lot of us can’t remember what it was. Author needs to give up and bring the story to an end ...
Please get on with the story and don’t add anything about Carrie. Please.
same old stories. nothing exciting. this author is too much.
More chapters of nothing! You are stretching this story like bubble gum. ...
