Zachary said, “In my heart, your mom always comes first.”

“I know Mom comes first in your heart, and Callia and I have never wanted to compete for that spot. It’s just… Dad, you shouldn’t make it so obvious. Mom just got here.”

Heath stood up and gave his seat to Serenity.

“Mom, say something. He’s always like this. He’s hurting our feelings as his children.”

He complained to his mother, acting as if he had been deeply wronged.

Serenity gently pulled away Zachary’s arm, which was wrapped ar

    "Master, I know Jolie was in the wrong. She shouldn't have disrespected Mrs. Longbottom. I've reprimanded her. I'll tell her to come in person to apologize to you and Mrs. Longbottom too."She made a mistake, but her little mistake shouldn't involve her family. I hope you and Mrs. Longbottom will be kind enough to let this go and forgive her just this once. I promise she'll show you the utmost respect from now on."She'll never disrespect Mrs. Longbottom the way she did today again."Roxy was the one who sent Jolie to Longbottom Corporation. If the Dorsey family's business suffered because of it, the entire family would hate her.The Dorsey family hoped Jolie would win Laurence's affection and take Noelle's place. They knew it was unlikely, but they wanted to take their chances. Even if Jolie failed, they did not have much to lose.After all, when it came to matters of the heart, Laurence was not petty enough to go after a woman simply for having feelings for him. That was why the

    Oh, now Roxy understood.She put on an earnest expression and said, "Master, Jolie is my best friend. I’ve brought her to Longbottom Corporation several times before, so everyone knows she's a friend of mine."She could enter the company freely today because of her connection to me, but she was disrespectful to Noelle and made several offensive remarks. I gave her a thorough lecture as soon as I found out."She wouldn't have dared behave that way if she weren't my best friend, so I share some of the blame. It's only fair that I come to apologize to Noelle."Roxy bent down and placed the two skincare sets in front of Noelle and said, "I bought these two skincare sets for you. They're both from well-known brands. I use these brands myself." Noelle glanced at the products, but instead of moving, she merely said, "I accept your apology, Ms. Longbottom, but there's no need for these skincare sets. You can take them back."The skincare products she used were far better. They were eith

    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

    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
