Mag-log inEveryone fell into a long silence before someone finally asked, “Tony, what do we do now? If Laurence really is that boy from all those years ago, we’re completely helpless against him.”The other relatives might have only suspected it, but those who had actively helped Tony betray and plot against the previous family head knew the truth all too well. Ever since Longtail Group had started rising to prominence in the public eye, Tony and Manny had constantly targeted them.Laurence, however, had survived countless assassination attempts. He was invincible. Despite everything thrown at him over the years, he was still kicking, while Tony had lost countless men.As Longtail Group grew more powerful and eventually caught up to Longbottom Corporation, those people had grown increasingly anxious. They were terrified that Laurence was that boy returning for vengeance.Today, their fears were finally confirmed. Amidst the terror, they also felt relieved. They were terrified because Laurenc
The butler quickly led a group of people inside. Most of those Longbottom family members were elderly folks from Tony’s generation, along with a few from Manny’s generation. There was not a single person from the younger generation among them.Before long, the living room was packed to the brim. With no more seats available, the rest of them simply stood.Tony scanned his relatives, estimating there were about fifty or sixty people in total. The older ones were the very same accomplices who had plotted alongside him all those years ago.“What is all this racket so early in the morning? Did Manny screw up again?”Tony’s tone was relatively mild with them. After all, those were the people who had done his dirty work in the past, his most loyal loyalists.“Tony, that boy from back then is back,” one elderly man said in a low, panicked voice. “When we woke up this morning, every one of us received a piece of paper. We have no idea who delivered them.”As he spoke, the man pulled ou
The country was vast, and searching for a person was like a shot in the dark.He had dispatched numerous people to track down Laurence’s whereabouts. Eventually, they found a lead. A nanny had taken Laurence across state lines, and he had ultimately surfaced in Meadspring.Jane, who was still just the Johnsons’ daughter-in-law back then, had rescued a baby in Meadspring. He suspected the child was Laurence, but there was no way to confirm it. The Lafayette family was not to be trifled with, so he did not dare provoke them.Once Jane returned to the Johnsons, his men tracked her and confirmed that she had indeed taken in a child whose age matched Laurence’s. However, the outside world never saw the boy and had no idea what he looked like.People did not even know the child’s name as the Johnson family protected him incredibly well. However, because his men were tracking Jane and lingering around FC Manor, the family found out, beat his men to a pulp, and delivered a stern warning.
However, the Longbottoms would have to eliminate that female bodyguard of Laurence first.After that, they could take down the rest of his security detail. With Laurence left isolated and defenseless, no matter how powerful he was, he would not survive.They had numbers on their side, and more importantly, they would be striking on turf they had controlled for thirty years. Launching an attack on Laurence would be infinitely easier, and the opportunities would be endless.“His inner circle is just too formidable. Now that we can confirm he is indeed that child from thirty years ago, what about that Vice President of Longtail Group? Is he really the nephew of the York family in Wiltspoon? The one named Sonny Brown?”Tony nodded. “It’s definitely Sonny Brown. Sonny has known Laurence since they were children. I once wanted to use Sonny to get close to Laurence, but the plan fell through halfway.“When Jane claimed she had given her adopted son away to another family, I didn’t buy it
Having fought with Laurence for so many years, it felt like they were always the ones getting the short end of the stick.They had successfully infiltrated Laurence’s estate before, but it had resulted in catastrophic losses. They had meticulously planned tonight’s mission. They had even gone so far as to send Manny out to the field. Yet, when Manny arrived at the very front gates, he chose to abandon the mission, throwing away a perfectly orchestrated plan. The worst part was that he could not even scold his son for it.Manny’s caution, however, was entirely justified. Had Tony been in Manny’s shoes at that exact moment, he probably would not have blindly walked in either. When a mission seemed too easy to succeed, it usually meant a massive trap was waiting for them. Tony found Laurence and Lilian utterly detestable. If their men had gone inside, there was no telling what horrific fate would have awaited them.By then, forget about stealing the family token. Whether their
Surprisingly, Manny was smart enough to suspect there would be a trap and avoid stepping inside. Once Manny led his men away, the hounds that had been lying lifelessly on the ground began to move, scrambling back to their feet.The large dogs trotted over to the gates, staring out into the darkness in the direction Manny had fled.Was their acting not good enough?How on earth did he see through them?Their master had given strict orders that no matter what happened tonight, they were not allowed to bark. They had to play dead, and they absolutely could not eat any treats tossed in from the outside. Otherwise, they really would end up dead.Standing just behind Laurence, Noelle watched as he lowered his binoculars. “Manny left?” she asked.“Yeah, he didn’t take the bait.”“He’s not as clever or ruthless as his old man, but he’s not entirely brainless. I told you they wouldn’t fall for this.”Laurence chuckled softly. “Well, since they didn’t take the bait, we can finally ge
The Clark brothers dared not breathe heavily. Belinda had been nice to them all along. Although neither of them was an heir to the Fisher family and they took on their father’s surname instead, they were still young masters of the Fishers. Most people regarded them with respect as well. They also he
Belinda furrowed her brows and finally answered Celine’s call.“Mom…”As soon as the call connected, Celine cried out.“What happened, Cece? Who’s bothering you? Tell Mom, and when I get back, I’ll take care of it for you.”Despite her frown, Belinda’s words were filled with affection, as if nothing in
Camryn was not afraid of Carrie but the person hiding behind her. They still could not identify the person with the last name Gordon. “Let me know if you need any help.”“There’s no need to trouble all of you to deal with Carrie. I can handle this myself. I just can’t find out the identity of the per
Ben nodded. The twins’ naps could last up to two to three hours as long as their stomachs were filled. Once the wives were out of earshot, Zachary told Ben, “You guys are probably being watched. To be specific, someone is after Laurence.”Ben’s gaze turned serious. Josh was confused. Zachary explaine
