Lilian added, “Chloe left a bit later than usual this morning. What held her up?”Chloe’s daily departure time was like clockwork, yet today she was nearly ten minutes late, which was why Lilian asked about it.Jane laughed. “You actually noticed that? I don’t even pay attention to exactly when she leaves every day. I only know that by the time her father and I return from our walk, she’s already gone.“By the time we reach home at night, she still hasn’t come back. She leaves early and returns late every single day, even busier than we were in our younger days. Even though we live together, we don’t even see her often.“Today I deliberately got up early just to wait for her. Otherwise, it’s really hard to see her.“I only have this one daughter. I originally wanted to pamper her endlessly and let her live freely without burdens, as long as she was happy and healthy. But she insisted on taking over the family business. It pains me so much, yet I can’t do anything about it.“My da
Chapter 5195
Jane followed Chloe out and watched as her daughter’s car drove away, followed closely by the bodyguards’ vehicle.After a long while, she muttered to herself, “Children are still cutest when they’re little.”When children were young, they stayed by their parents’ side every day and relied on them more.Once they grew up, though, they had to go to work, often leaving early and returning late due to company matters. Jane only got a little bit of time to talk to Chloe when she ate breakfast.Usually, there were very few phone calls and messages from her daughter.Even though Chloe came home every day, Jane still felt as though her daughter worked far away at the edge of the world.Everyone was busy.Chloe had made it clear that she would not take over Jane’s business, so Jane still had to manage it herself for now. In a few more years, when her energy declined, she would hand it over to her son.Chloe had inherited FC & Co., but Connor, the elder twin, could not possibly do nothi

Laurence fell silent for a moment before replying to Chloe with a voice message, “She did come out of the kitchen, but she eats very quickly. She finished in just two or three minutes. I was too busy talking to her, and before I knew it, she had already finished eating, washed the dishes, and gone out.“I hadn’t even started eating yet.”Chloe was speechless.Noelle was simply born to counter her brother.No matter how domineering her brother was outside, once he returned home and stood before Noelle, he could no longer act tough, simply because he doted on her too much.He could not bear to upset her.In the end, Chloe sent Laurence another message. “Serves you right!”He had video-called her for help and wasted her time. She even helped him talk to Noelle, but look what happened?Laurence covered his face. He really did deserve it.Chloe sent no more messages after that.She was preparing to head out for work.Jane asked, “How are Laurence and Noelle doing now?”“Still un
Chapter 5193
Chloe quickly ended the call.Laurence’s face reddened slightly. His sister’s words felt like a slap to his face, as though she was saying he was useless.He, however, truly had no way of dealing with Noelle.Knowing that the only people who could make Noelle compromise were the three ladies, he had no choice but to shamelessly bother Chloe.Back at Austin’s house, he had troubled Callia.Even Ben and Jane could not persuade Noelle.Noelle said nothing. She silently returned to the kitchen, brought out her unfinished breakfast, and sat down at one end of the dining table, deliberately keeping her distance from Laurence.“Mr. Laurence, you think my breakfast is too bland, so what I eat is indeed different from yours.”Noelle only gave that one explanation before falling silent again and continuing her breakfast.Once finished, she still needed to go outside and inspect Laurence’s car, worried that someone might tamper with it.Noelle knew how to repair cars. Even Laurence hims

As soon as Callia started her vacation, she came over specifically because of the cool weather.Noelle still lent a hand with the work.After tending to the medicinal herbs, the two of them headed back toward the main house ten plus minutes later.In the dining room, only Laurence’s breakfast was set out.Noelle always ate in the kitchen. No matter how many times Laurence spoke to her about it, she still refused to sit at the same table with him for meals.Standing beside the table, Laurence called out in a stern voice with a straight face. “Noelle!”Noelle, who had just been about to eat breakfast, hurried out when she heard him calling.“Where’s your breakfast?”“Mr. Laurence, I’ll eat in the kitchen.”The kitchen was spacious, and there was also a small dining table inside, so eating there was no different.It was just a little warmer inside.Laurence took out his phone, clicked on Chloe’s contact, and started a video call.At this hour, Chloe had not gone to work yet an
Chapter 5191
While Noelle was checking Laurence’s room for intruders, he wanted to say something to her countless times, yet in the end, he did not utter a single word.He simply let her finish the inspection and silently walk out afterward.The two of them clearly lived under the same roof, with their rooms right next to each other, yet at times, he felt as though an endless distance separated them.He knew Noelle had feelings for him, just as he did for her. Yet neither of them had ever pierced through that thin veil between them.His great vengeance remained unresolved, so he did not dare think about matters of love.As for Noelle, she had engraved Doc’s words deeply into her heart and faithfully followed them. Though she loved Laurence deeply, she always positioned herself as a bodyguard, servant, assistant, and the like.She had never once thought about becoming his woman or his wife.It was not only that she lacked courage, but also that she could not cross that psychological barrier.

Not reading your books anymore!!!!!
So for yesterday to today you bastards have taken 65 points away!!!! Why???
Why did you just take 35 points away???
This is soooo true
I will never read anything more from your library!!
All of what you guys are saying is true!! Enough of this story!! You keep adding more chapters and taking away my points.
The author is not listening to any of us
This isn’t nice that we have to pay more for this book it’s becoming boring
We as readers are losing interest in the novel due to the fact that the book is being drawn out , the repetition of each characters storyline is getting boring We love the book but we are willing to not invest anymore time just to be going around in circles with this novel Please Fix This !!!!!!
We are paying more for this book, I’m tired
Make the chapters of substance and stop repeating your self just to draw the book out. You’re getting paid! Do a better job so we can refer our friends to your books.
Why do you writers treat adults as children. We are paying you more than what these stories are worth but you refuse to put chapters out for us to read. A few pages is enough to just waste our time, especially if you finish reading those pages before you get comfortable sitting down.
I have already paid a $100 can't even completely read the book that's bull
4 chapters is nothing .. upload plz 10 chapters or more.. so we can enjoy the read
