LOGINLilian snorted. “Depends on how you behave.”Then she turned to Laurence and said, “Laurence, you spoil Noelle too much. That stubborn temper of hers is all your fault.”Looking at Noelle, Laurence said, “Noelle has been by my side longer than anyone else. She’s too important to me. If I don’t spoil her, who should I spoil?”“It could only mean that Noelle has become arrogant because she’s favored.”Noelle hurriedly replied to Lilian, “No, that’s not it.”“Have you not? Do you listen to what Laurence says? You don’t listen to him at all. Isn’t that being arrogant because you’re favored? You rely on the fact that he spoils you, so you ignore what he says, and he can’t do anything about it.”Noelle opened her mouth but found herself unable to argue back.She would handle anything Mr. Laurence assigned to her perfectly.She usually listened to what he said, except when it came to personal matters and daily life.Noelle was Laurence’s bodyguard and servant, while he was her master
“This tea is still piping hot. Let’s eat first.”Laurence said, “The food has been ready for a while. Let’s dig in.”He and Noelle accompanied the two elders into the dining room, while the servants hurriedly brought out the prepared dishes one by one.Despite having been wealthy ladies for decades, the two elders did not like wasting food, so Laurence had the kitchen prepare six simple home-style dishes and one soup. This would be more than enough for four people and would not result in waste.As usual, Noelle intended to stand by and serve them.Jane called out to her, “Noelle, why aren’t you sitting down? Come and sit here beside me. Stop standing there.”“Mommy Jane, I’ll serve you while you eat. I’ll just eat something casually in the kitchen later.”Taking the opportunity to complain to Jane and Lilian, Laurence said, “Noelle is always like this. No matter what I say, she won’t listen. Last time, I even called Chloe and had her scold Noelle. Only then did Noelle reluctantl
Lilian 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
“C’mon, I’ll take you to see my apartment,” Sheila said to Alex.“My place is simply decorated. It can’t compare to yours.”She did not need to ask to guess that the money Alex would spend on renovation could probably buy her entire apartment, maybe even more.A young master from the richest fami
Alex smiled. “Since you’re the one treating, I believe you know which place is good and clean.”Sheila returned the smile. At that moment, the lady boss served them two glasses of soy milk. “Do you usually drink soy milk, Mr. York?” Sheila asked softly. The York family was wealthy. Since Alex
Sheila pushed the bouquet away. She said apologetically, “I won’t accept your flowers, Kent. You don’t have to buy them for me anymore.”Alex went to stand beside her discreetly. He simply stared at Kent. Kent did not like seeing Alex beside Sheila. They looked good together.“Who’s this, Shei
Being the boss was just too hard!He really was not cut out for this. Even though River had already organized everything neatly, he still found it incredibly difficult.As soon as he heard that River was back, Levi immediately gathered up the huge stack of folders and hurried off to find him.Riv
