Elliott could no longer maintain his smile.Laurence actually knew all that.How many times he and Manny had met, how many of those meetings were actually for business, how many times for pleasure, and even the fact that Ms. Tindall beat him in their drinking contests.Manny had not told Laurence anything about their collaboration, but Laurence really did know all about it, and was even rather impatient with his habit of dragging his feet.“Our collaboration, uh, I have considered it carefully and decided to work with your company, and we’ve brought the contract too. Yes, uh, we did come today to sign the agreement.”Elliott had originally planned to play hardball with Laurence and get some payback for Manny, so he deliberately did not pull out the contract or express his intentions for coming today.However, Laurence responded with impatience, unbothered whether Elliott signed or not.This made Elliott lose his nerve and stop acting all high and mighty, fearing he might lose th

The last acting CEO was a lecher, and Manny was his son. The apple did not fall far from the tree, and where did the women who were played with by the previous acting CEO end up?Many people within the company knew.They privately cautioned her not to go down the road those women had trodden.Misty glanced at Noelle a couple more times before Noelle gave her a cold look, which scared her into lowering her gaze immediately and hurrying out of the VIP lounge.Despite being a woman too, Noelle’s gaze was simply too frightening.It was as cold as ice and as sharp as a blade at the same time.Plus, Noelle was tall and constantly wore a stern expression, and she dressed androgynously too. From behind, it was easy to mistake her for a man. Roxy constantly disparaged Noelle as a butch.Misty muttered to herself, “She really does seem like a butch type.”However, it was precisely this butch who held Laurence’s full trust and confidence. There were no young women around Laurence. Noelle

“Longtail Group must have caught up with Longbottom Corporation due to Mr. Young’s capabilities. As expected of the apprentice of such an outstanding master, it’s no surprise that Mr. Young is just as remarkable.”Elliott’s attitude toward Laurence shifted in an instant.Earlier, he was still recalcitrant and not taking Laurence seriously.The moment he heard that Laurence was Dr. Carden’s apprentice, he became much more polite toward Laurence and even sounded respectful when talking about him.Misty was not surprised by this.However, even without Dr. Carden’s reputation to back him, she knew Laurence was very capable, having been by Manny’s side.Laurence’s handsome face flashed in her mind, and Misty could not help but sigh in admiration internally. Laurence was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.She was Manny’s secretary because her alcohol tolerance was good. Her family brewed and sold wine for a living. She had grown up amongst the barrels, so naturally,

Misty whispered, “You heard correctly, Mr. Durham. Our company is still led by Mr. Longbottom, but not the one you’ve been dealing with.”“What? So it’s true? Then, Manny isn’t in charge of the company anymore?”Elliott lowered his voice as he added, “That Laurence Young is the CEO of Longtail Group, right? Did he really take over your company? Is he capable?“Speaking of Longtail Group… Both companies are in the same industry, so I suppose he can run a business, but he just took over today. Is everyone willing to accept him?“The one I’ve been negotiating with is Manny Longbottom, not Laurence Longbottom. What is there for me to discuss with him? What does he know?”Elliott clearly looked down on Laurence and did not believe Laurence would be able to close a deal. Elliott was even considering making things difficult for him.The main reason was that he got along with Manny, who had always entertained him lavishly, satisfying him.He was also rather fond of Misty.Whenever he c

Elliott Durham was an executive currently negotiating a partnership with Longbottom Corporation. Manny had been the one handling the discussions. As Elliott’s company was highly influential, Manny placed great importance on the deal and took charge of every meeting.However, talks had not been finalized.Manny had arranged for Elliott to come in again today for another round of talks. Until now, he had been the highest decision-maker in the company. However, now, he had been demoted.Although Manny could still continue the negotiation in his current position, he asked Elliott to meet Laurence directly. Clearly, he was putting Laurence on the spot.Since Laurence claimed to know Longbottom Corporation in and out, he could negotiate with Elliott himself.Elliott had already met Manny several times, and each meeting had gone well. Manny even wined and dined him at the finest establishments in the Havenmill. Thus, Elliott had developed a good impression of Manny.Now that Laurence ha

Manny’s expression darkened again. He yanked open the office door and walked out. He slammed the door shut.“Mr. Laurence, you really don’t hold back with your words. You hurt him,” Noelle commented.Laurence laughed. “That’s the point. There’s no need for me to show them any courtesy.”Noelle could not help but smile. “Manny won’t give up.”“I hope he doesn’t. It’s boring fighting against him. He’s no match for me. The only person with some ability is the old man behind him. Manny is just a pawn controlled by his father.“How he moves and where he goes is all arranged by Tony. In terms of business, he can only maintain the status quo. Expecting him to lead the company further would be difficult.”“Times are developing too quickly. Sticking to the old methods won’t work, or the times will leave you behind.“Manny and Tony deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison.”The final sentence was spoken with great hatred.The tragedy that befell Laurence’s family was caused by
Reader Comments
get back to Christmas with Nana. tjis us boring
Author do you even read the comments that we write. Why do you keep dragging this book on and by repeating things over and over again. If you want to be a good writer then you need to write a good book and know when to end it. And this book and start thinking about a new one.
I agree with all the comments. And those rich prominent people are not going to let someone like Carrie(Mrs. Longbottom) just get that close to their family. All of that was a waste of time. The chapters are shorter and costly.
continued- You also have started repeating half the previous page onto the next page,giving us even less to read. Ridiculous to only read two or three pages a day!
I'm so tired of reading the same thing over and over again. stop repeating everything. Get to the point.
need to know back returns with serenity and sonny safely and need to get on with liberty and Duncan wedding waited a long time for it x
Please get the part of Carrie over with. Tired of same things over and over again. More about original characters
Short filler chapters. Could have read the Holy bible from cover to cover as long as it’s taking to read this story
I really would love more chapters to read at once please
I can't handle just reading 3 chapters ... love the story and the characters so much.
