Chapter 5611
After a moment of silence, Cian replied, "I know, Grandpa. I don't have feelings for her. She used to look down on me, and now she's sucking up to me, chasing after me, and showering me with gifts. It makes me feel like I have the upper hand."I haven't outright rejected her, but there's no way I'll ever accept her. Of course I know her intentions. Besides, the Longbottom family has undergone a power shift. From now on, her own family will have to keep their heads down."They don't even have the chance to leave Havenmill. Laurence has them under constant surveillance, so they can't get away. Their only future is decline. I'm not stupid enough to fall for an opportunistic woman like her."The Yarrow family would be implicated too. Cian was Darien's most favored grandson, so he certainly was not lacking in intelligence. He was also not the type to let his lust rule him. Besides, Roxy’s beauty was not exactly breathtaking.Darien felt much reassured after hearing Cian's answer. "Glad

The people would be happy enough if the O'Connor family left them alone.After exchanging pleasantries, the two men got down to business.Yarrow Corporation and Longbottom Corporation had two projects they wanted to collaborate on. The former placed particular importance on this partnership, which was why Darien came in person to discuss the details.The two talked for a long time. Noelle listened quietly from the side, never interrupting and following Laurence's train of thought.Every so often, she refilled their teacups.They spent over an hour negotiating before finally reaching an agreement.Laurence made several calls, asking a few executives to come upstairs. After everyone had discussed the details with Darien, they agreed to sign the contract the next day.Darien picked up his teacup in satisfaction and took a sip. After setting it down, he checked the time and turned to Laurence. "Mr. Longbottom, I should get going."Laurence, Noelle, and the others stood. Laurence ex

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

"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
