LOGINLilian said, “No one will just stand by and do nothing. If you encounter a problem you can’t solve, even if you don’t ask for help, everyone will still come to help you.“You lived in my Medicine Valley for twenty years. Do you think your fellow disciples are heartless? Even setting aside your bond as family, your friendship alone is deep enough. Would a true friend refuse to lend a hand when someone they care about is in trouble?”Laurence did not dare say a word.He had always been reluctant to use the connections and influence left to him by Lilian and Doc. Those experts were scattered all over the world. Contacting them was easy, but getting them to come over was difficult.He had also stated that his revenge was a personal matter, and he did not want to drag the people around him into it.However, he was also aware that the connections left to him by his masters were his strongest backing. Whether Laurence asked for help or not, if he and Noelle ever found themselves in real
If someone were not loyal from the beginning, a marriage would not change it.“I don’t have anyone I like,” Noelle said softly to Jane.Laurence led the two elders into the house. Noelle deliberately slowed her pace, as was her habit. As a bodyguard, she did not walk side by side with her employer.However, after falling behind by only two steps, Lilian and Jane each grabbed one of her arms and pulled her forward, placing her between them as they walked inside.Lilian said, “If you don’t have anyone you like, then I will pick a few candidates for you. Since you’re living in Havenmill long-term now, we’ll find someone suitable here. While Jane and I are here, we’ll help screen them for you.”Noelle had nothing to say. “I already have someone I like. There’s no need to introduce anyone to me.” Afraid that Lilian would start playing matchmaker, Laurence quickly declared that he already liked someone.Everyone already knew how he felt, but when Lilian was bored, she really was capa
Two hours later, Jane and Lilian finally arrived at Laurence’s residence in Havenmill.They first arrived at the main house.After getting out of the car, Laurence immediately went to open the doors for the two elders. Noelle was even faster and more attentive, already moving to help Lilian out.Lilian refused the assistance. “I may be old, but I’m not so old that I need help walking. Don’t support me. When you do that, it makes me look older and more frail. My body may be aging, but my heart isn’t. I still feel like an eighteen-year-old girl.”Noelle could not help laughing. “You will always be eighteen.”“One’s heart can stay eighteen forever, but looks can’t remain eighteen forever. Sigh, why do people have to grow old? Can’t youth last forever?”No matter how well she took care of herself, Lilian had still grown old. The most obvious sign was that her physical strength was no longer what it used to be.There was no point in denying it.Jane laughed. “Do you want to become s
Tony handed his phone to his wife.“What is it?”Susan took the phone and looked at the screen. “They’re just a few photos. The two women in these photos have really taken good care of themselves, and they’re quite beautiful too. What is it? Were they your old flames when you were young?“Have they come looking for money from you now? Don’t tell me they secretly had your children?”Tony said with a dark expression, “Look carefully. Don’t you think they look familiar?”“One of them is the lady boss of FC & Co., the lady of the house of the Johnsons. The other is the fourth missus of the Johnson family, known as a miracle doctor.“Why would these two sisters-in-law come to Havenmill? Laurence even went to pick them up at the airport.”Tony continued, “The child from thirty years ago was found near Meadspring by Jane, who is now the Johnson family’s matriarch.“Jane did adopt a child. No one ever found out the child’s name, but it is true that she adopted him.“We sent people to
When Laurence and Sonny first arrived in Havenmill and established Longtail Group, the company had not yet caught the attention of the major business figures in the city. After all, it was a newly founded company that had not yet produced any notable achievements.No one paid them any particular attention.Later, Longtail Group grew larger and stronger, bursting into the circle of Havenmill’s business elite like a dark horse. It became impossible to ignore, and many people began investigating the backgrounds of Laurence and Sonny.However, most people merely made inquiries. They did not resort to surveillance. The only ones who enjoyed following them around were members of the Longbottom family.“They’ve been tailing us the whole way.”Jane said, “They’ve been following us all this time, and you’re only beating them up now? You should’ve thrown sacks over their heads long ago.”Laurence chuckled. “If we deal with them now, there’ll be a good show tonight. I know you two like dram
Laurence quickly said, “I haven’t been skimping on Noelle’s skincare products. I bought them for her, but she refuses them. Even when I force her to accept, I don’t know whether she actually uses them.”Noelle also explained, “Mr. Laurence has never withheld any of my expenses. I have my own income, and the salary he pays me every month is more than enough. I can buy my own skincare products.“Besides, I don’t even need to buy any. When I have free time, I can make skincare products myself, and Aunt Cheryl sends me some every so often.”She lacked nothing, so there was no need for Laurence to spend money on her.Once Laurence saw that everything he forced her to accept went unused, he would eventually stop giving her such gifts, and his money would not be wasted.Lilian linked arms with Noelle affectionately.As they walked, she continued talking to Noelle. Although the girl had never formally become her disciple, Noelle had addressed her as “Master” for eighteen years. Long ago,
It was not easy to find a man her daughter was even slightly satisfied with and was willing to develop a relationship with. They could not afford to scare Christian away.Christian asked, “Mrs. Lafayette, what did you say?”Mrs. Lafayette grew even more embarrassed, her voice lowering slightly. “R

“Mom, I’m going to Dad’s place tomorrow and will be spending a day or two there.”Liberty nodded. “You can stay there longer. Your grandparents must miss you.”Sonny’s visits to the Browns’ place were always joyful as long as Chelsea was not around. Now that he was the only grandson bearing the Br
Those elite daughters could interact with their future husbands for some time. Some of them were even arranged to be playmates since they were young and went to school together so that they could develop a bond.On the other hand, Rosalie had the freedom to decide on her marriage.“Let’s wait and
