LOGINTwo 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,
Lilian rolled her eyes. “No, definitely not. Even after getting married, we women still need our personal space and freedom. Taking a jealous husband everywhere you go is incredibly annoying.”Jane nodded. “That does make sense.”Fortunately, Ben was not like Tim. Ben had already said that once he finished handling his affairs, he would simply fly over and join them himself.This big brother would not throw a tantrum like Tim.Ben dared to come on his own, but Tim did not. If his wife did not approve and he came anyway, she would probably poison him.Among all the Johnson brothers, Tim was the one most afraid of his wife.It could not be helped, as Lilian was unparalleled in both medicine and poison.Oliver had inherited her talents as well.He dared not offend his wife, nor do anything to their son. Even Laurence excelled in both medicine and poison.If Tim refused to listen to Lilian, she could quietly poison him without saying a word. The thought alone was terrifying.So h
Roxy thought that by keeping a close watch on Laurence, she would eventually see some signs if he truly was the child who had escaped thirty years ago.Unfortunately, her surveillance yielded no results. Laurence was simply too difficult to deal with.“If he really is that child from thirty years ago, he will definitely be a formidable enemy to my entire family,” Roxy muttered to herself.Tony and Manny had openly and secretly targeted Laurence countless times, yet none of their attempts had succeeded. The best outcome they had ever achieved was injuring his bodyguard, Noelle.Laurence remained completely unharmed.To be honest, Roxy was rather envious that Laurence had such a capable and loyal bodyguard by his side.If she had a bodyguard as loyal as Noelle, she could practically do as she pleased throughout Havenmill.Ring, ring, ring.The office phone rang.Roxy answered it. It was Manny calling through the office intercom, asking her to come to his office.After hanging u
Julian forced a nervous smile and said, “I went to the gym, and Quinn mentioned she had something to do and went out. I thought she went home.“Anyway, is there anything I can help with?”Zoey sat on the couch, and as she turned on the TV she said, “We’re having Italian tonight, and all the ingredient
“Can I tell Zachary about this?”After some contemplation, Austin said, “I don’t mind. I’ll probably need his help in the future anyway. He won’t know how to help me if he doesn’t know anything.”Serenity chuckled. “Zachary can help you with work, but he’s useless in the relationship department. You c
“Julian is undoubtedly a businessman, but he’s not a simple businessman. He surely has things hidden from us, things he hasn’t told us.”“Everyone has their secrets; it’s impossible to tell everything to others,” Quinn spoke on behalf of Julian.However, Zoey said, “Think about when you first met him.
Camryn replied without thinking, “She feels so much like Carrie. They have similar figures and voices. It’s just that their faces are different.”After a pause, she continued, “It shouldn’t be her. Yesterday, she still came to the manor, complaining to Mom that I was too cruel, letting her starve to
