"We'll start raising the money tomorrow. Once we have it, we'll transfer it to Manny and have him buy back all the antiques we sold. It's better to lose some money than let Laurence get evidence against us."If he reports us to the police, Manny will be the one going to prison. He's our son. Can you bear to see that happen?"Susan's expression changed, and she instinctively replied, "Of course not! Manny is more important to me than my life itself. How could I possibly let him go to prison?""That's why we have no choice but to raise the money. But that's not all. Laurence has taken all the ledgers from the secondary residence. He said he'd have Noelle review them. They're not even married yet, but he's already letting her take charge of the family's affairs."Susan said, "The butler there is Stuart, right? He's one of Manny's men.""Yes, he works for Manny. Everyone knows how much Stuart has pocketed over the years. Manny has profited from him too."If Noelle finds any problems

"What he's doing now is trying to force us to make a move against him. He wants to force us to hand him the evidence he needs. He doesn't have to find proof of what happened thirty years ago. As long as we strike again or make a mistake now, he'll have grounds to take us down and avenge his family."So, we can't fall into his trap. We can't let him get even the slightest evidence against us. Even if it means having to spend a fortune, we can't give him anything he can use against us."At those words, Susan fell silent. Tony was right.After a long while, she asked, "Then how much will it cost in total?""I did a rough calculation. We'll have to spend over a hundred million, and that's if those buyers agree to sell the antiques back at their original prices, which is impossible. According to them, they bought the antiques because they loved collecting and expected their value to appreciate."Who would agree to sell without making a profit? The problem is that they're asking for far

"How much are we talking about? Given that you're so worried, is it a sum that will force us to empty our coffers?"Tony was silent for a moment before answering, "Not that bad, but it still makes me furious. We sold those things, and now we have to spend a fortune to buy them back. The money had been spent, yet now we have to pay it all back with interest."Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Laurence is despicable, so are those buyers who are jacking up their prices."Susan sat down and urged him to eat first. "No matter how angry you are, you still have to take care of your health. That boy would love nothing more than to see you fall sick. He's practically waiting for you to die. You're the backbone of our family. You can't afford to collapse."When she was younger, she hated and resented her husband. She helped him commit so many terrible deeds to secure their wealth, only for him to start fooling around with other women as soon as he became rich.His mistresses kept

Laurence was the only surviving descendant of the legitimate head of the family. Rumors about Tony’s past actions were everywhere. Everyone knew that the former head and his entire family had been murdered. Now that the rightful heir had finally taken over, Tony's family was trembling in fear.The buyers were taking advantage of the situation too. They knew Manny had no choice but to pay whatever price they demanded if he wanted the antiques back.After sneaking out, Manny went straight to the first person to whom he had sold an antique years ago. When the buyer demanded three times the original price, Manny called his father to report the amount. Tony's mood was completely ruined, and he barely touched his dinner.Now, he sat alone in his study, sitting in a black swivel chair and smoking one cigarette after another. The room was thick with the smell of tobacco.A knock sounded at the door.Tony remained silent for a long time before finally getting up to answer it. Susan stood o
Chapter 5603
"Lilian, you look more like Laurence's older sister than his mother. You don't look old at all. When you go shopping with Oliver, people must think you're siblings. They'd never believe you're mother and son."Serenity said, "Bring me some of the skincare products you've developed recently. I want to stay young forever."Lilian was a master of both medicine and poison, and she knew even more about skincare and anti-aging than Cheryl Johnson. Even Cheryl left her own family's products untouched and used the products that Lilian developed.Those skincare products were impossible to buy no matter how much money someone had. Lilian only gave them to the people closest to her. Outsiders had no way of getting them.People assumed that the women maintained their youthful appearances by frequently going to beauty salons or getting cosmetic injections. They had no idea it was because they used skincare products personally formulated by Lilian.Apart from those products, Lilian also taught

Serenity chimed in, "You can ask me too. Just like Jane, I've spent years handling household accounts.”As the lady of the house, she had to deal with bookkeeping regularly. After more than two decades of doing that, she was naturally very familiar with accounts.Noelle nodded in gratitude. She believed that she could handle the task.Although she appeared to be Laurence's bodyguard, she understood business matters. Whenever Laurence did not need her assistance, she would simply stand by quietly and observe.As for the household accounts, she had been managing Laurence's for years, so she knew how to read the accounts as well.Laurence immediately gathered the remaining books and excused himself before catching up to Noelle, saying, "Let's go to my study. It's quieter there."Noelle did not refuse.Jane watched the two of them go upstairs side by side and let out a long sigh of relief. "They've finally gotten together. At least my trip with Lilian wasn’t in vain."Lilian nodded
