Chapter 5609
Even if Darien did not know about Laurence and Noelle's relationship, he would still have treated Noelle politely.She was fiercely loyal and exceptionally skilled. She was certainly more than qualified to serve as a bodyguard. Darien respected anyone with genuine strength and ability."Noelle, have a seat too."Laurence suddenly turned to her, not letting her stand behind him as she had always done.Noelle hesitated for a moment before agreeing.She brought over a stool, placed it several feet away from Laurence, and slowly sat down.Once she was seated, Laurence poured her a cup of tea and set it in front of her. Only then did he turn to Darien. "Mr. Yarrow, please have some tea."Darien observed every one of Laurence's actions.It seemed the rumors were true. Laurence intended to marry Noelle and make her the matriarch of the Longbottom family. Whenever he saw Laurence in the past, Noelle would always stand beside him. Now, Laurence was asking her to sit down.He was no lon
Chapter 5608
Now that Laurence and Noelle had officially become a couple, everyone in Havenmill knew about their relationship. Roxy practically went mad with jealousy.It was not that she loved Laurence. They were from the same family, so marriage had never been an option. She had deliberately pursued him before just to get closer.Even so, she could not help but feel jealous. Noelle was just a bodyguard. What made her worthy of Laurence's love? What gave her the right to be the lady of the Longbottom family?Roxy used to be the most privileged lady in Havenmill, but after Laurence took power, she became an ordinary "Ms. Longbottom". Not only had her status plummeted, but there were plenty of people waiting to see her family make a fool of themselves. Some were even wondering when her family would be wiped out.Unwilling to just accept her fate, she was determined to change things around. Thus, she set her sights on Cian Yarrow. She had known him for more than ten years, but she never conside

"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
Chapter 5606
"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
Chapter 5605
"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
Chapter 5604
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

Is Elisa going to find love in Remy. A new beautiful twist in this interesting story.
Repeating again. Not necessary to write the same paragraph in a different order. Cheaper chapters please.
This is a distraction from the main storyline and the 'nearly had an accident' plot. Is it necessary. Please make the chapters cheaper they are only worth 10 really. Thank you
