Costa Corporation was one of the O’Connor family’s businesses in Satbury. It had many subsidiaries spanning across various industries under it. Isabella and Tati jointly managed Costa Corporation. The O’Connors had been around in Satbury for decades, which allowed them to accumulate that much wealth. Of course, they had gone through many hardships, one of which was when Isabella first took over the businesses. Many people anticipated all of the O’Connor family’s companies to get into trouble and go bankrupt. Some even hoped they would be in debt. Most of them were doubtful of Isabella and Tati. However, the companies managed to overcome the crisis, and the O’Connor family flourished from that point onward. Isabella and Tati were the main decision-makers in the family. They were the youngest among all business tycoons. Isabella was only twenty-seven, while Tati was even younger. Edith and Eleanor were of similar ages and worked in one of the family’s businesses. Since they w

At that moment, Mr. Longbottom’s car was parked outside Costa Corporation. His bodyguards’ cars were parked behind his luxury car. He always had a convoy whenever he was out. It was to boost his aura and to protect himself. Mr. Longbottom stared at the tall office building. His expression was tense, and his eyes were cold. He felt furious. After a while, he told a bodyguard, “Get down and tell a security guard that I know Ms. O’Connor is in the company now. I want to know when she can meet me.”Although he was simply the acting head, no one in Havenmill dared to defy him that way. Most of the time, he would decide whether to meet someone based on his mood. Even if the other person were someone on par with his status, that person would show him respect and agree to meet him if he asked to. No one ever rejected him bluntly like Isabella. Tati was slightly better. Mr. Longbottom had met her twice. However, she had rejected him whenever he invited her out to hang out or

“They have to continue waiting if it isn’t their turn yet. No one can cut the line unless the CEO allows it. Didn’t Mr. Longbottom make an appointment two days ago? It probably isn’t his turn yet.“If that’s the case, please go back and wait. Coming to our company and blocking the way every day is useless. If you happen to block our boss’s way and make her angry, she might even cancel Mr. Longbottom’s appointment.”Mr. Longbottom’s guard was about to say something but decided against it. He simply thanked the security guard.He turned and returned to the car. Once Mr. Longbottom lowered the window, he said respectfully, “That security guard said you have to follow the given time of your appointment and that there’s no need to wait here every day.“He also mentioned that everyone has to wait if it isn’t their turn yet. We can’t skip the line.”Mr. Longbottom’s expression darkened, but only for a moment. His face soon returned to normal. He said calmly, “I’ll wait here until Isabell

“After that, he’ll gradually gain control of our family businesses. Although he’s just a temporary head of the Longbottom family, he has competence and cruel methods. Nevertheless, no matter how well he does now, he still isn’t legitimate.“His efforts will easily go to someone else. I believe he’s aware of the changes in the Fisher family of Jensburg. He’ll definitely be afraid of experiencing what Madam Fisher did.”Tati asked, “Is he leaving a back door open for himself? If he gains control of our family, he won’t lose everything even after stepping down as the temporary head and leaving Havenmill. He can even take many of the Longbottoms’ business contracts with him through his established collaborations.”“Most likely. He has already used that method to obtain a lot of money with his wife’s help. However, many senior managers of Longbottom Corporation are the family’s elites. They only obey the orders of the head of the family and are committed to protecting the family assets.

After thinking about it, Tati nodded and agreed with Isabella. She asked, “Are we going to keep ignoring Mr. Longbottom?”“Do you want to meet him?” Isabella questioned back.Tati immediately shook her head. “No. He thinks he’s a charming, elegant, and handsome middle-aged man. He has no idea that he’s just a sleazy old man to me. I hate his arrogant gaze and his being delusional about his looks.“After getting used to a great man like Austin, seeing a man as pretentious as Mr. Longbottom makes me realize the vast difference between them.“Austin is really gentlemanly and charismatic. Even without doing anything, he looks pleasing to me whenever I look at him.“I finally believe the saying that looking at handsome guys and pretty women can improve one’s mood.”After speaking, Tati noticed her sister’s teasing gaze. She quickly explained, “I don’t mean anything by that, Isa.”“You don’t need to explain. We’re cousins. We’ve grown up together and know each other well. Even my

Tati’s phone was ringing again. It was still Mr. Longbottom.“It’s that old man again, Isa. Should I answer it?”Tati frowned, looking annoyed. “See? That pretentious man has no self-awareness.”Mr. Longbottom, who had assumed his position by killing the main family, would always lack a legitimate aura and nobility. “You should answer it so that he stops calling you.”Isabella said, “You can’t expect a shameless man to know his manners.”Tati pouted. She muttered, “How did the true head of the Longbottom family even fall for this man’s schemes?”“It’s difficult to guard yourself against nasty people. The head of the Longbottom family… was only two or three years into his position when the tragedy occurred. That old man must’ve planned everything. Now, only a young son from the main family is left. I don’t even know if that boy can grow up into an adult safely. “There’s also the issue of competence. If the boy doesn’t have the ability to seek revenge, he’s better off not knowi

Mr. Longbottom had never met a CEO who strictly requested him to make appointments.Regardless of whether their companies would be collaborating, no one dared to look down on him that way. The CEO of Costa Corporation was the only exception. Mr. Longbottom sensed that the O’Connor family was unwilling to work with Longbottom Corporation. Tati said, “Since your appointment is set for next year’s summer, you can come over at that time. With the festive season coming up, we probably can’t settle everything in time. Besides, Isabella’s schedule is really packed. She doesn’t have any extra time.”She said apologetically again, “I’m sorry, Mr. Longbottom. There’s nothing I can do about this.”Mr. Longbottom smiled. “Okay. I thought I could get a shortcut and skip the queue. Since Ms. Isabella has a busy schedule, I shall not force it.“When does your company’s vacation start? I prepared some gifts. I’ll get someone to deliver them over when you’re free. Please accept the gifts.”H

The O’Connor ladies were not like usual girls. Pestering them was useless. It would make Mr. Longbottom look cheap as well. After all, he was the temporary head of the Longbottom family. What woman could he not have for himself?Among his past lovers, there were also ice queens like Isabella. He still managed to charm them with some effort. Once they became his woman, they would soften and revere him. When he abandoned them, they would wail and cling to him, unwilling to leave. Of course, ten of those lovers could not even compare to Isabella. When Mr. Longbottom’s car was leaving, it passed by a black Mercedes-Benz in the opposite direction.Mr. Longbottom turned to look. He saw the security of Costa Corporation on duty opening the gates immediately upon spotting the black Benz. It only had to slow down before entering the compound.‘Maybe that’s one of Costa Corporation’s senior managers,’ he thought. He turned his head back and leaned against the seat. After some thin

Tony turned around and left.Only after hearing the door close did Carrie dare to open her eyes.She had woken up while Tony and his son were on the phone, but she did not dare move, fearing that Tony might suspect her of eavesdropping.Just now, when that old lecher stood by the bed looking at her, there was definitely a murderous glint in his eyes. She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought.

“You should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.” Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, “There were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldn’t eliminate them all at once.”Back then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main family’s long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistress—a tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottom’s place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.“Isa, you’re always so busy and exhausted. If you’re feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. It’s the same either way.”Tati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tati’s kind offer.She said, “Not today. There’s an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t touch alcohol.”Given her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someone’s schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?”Isabella added calmly to Tati, “If you let him provoke you, he’ll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesn’t exist and don’t respond no matter what he does, he’ll naturally give up once he sees that you’re completely unresponsive.”Tati said, “I’m afraid that he’ll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesn’t get anywhere with me. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi

Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w
