Author: Gu Lingfei
“You can take that invitation back. I won’t be attending Ms. Marshall’s birthday banquet.”

Kevin picked up the invitation and said, “In your condition, it really isn’t convenient for you to go. Then I’ll take it to Rowan and have him make an appearance. As long as the Marshalls know our family has a representative attending, it’ll be fine.”

Alex nodded repeatedly.

Rowan did not have a love interest yet, so it was most suitable for him to go.

Though Rowan was a bit younger than Ms. Marshall,

    Tony respectfully replied, “Of course.”The group exited the main house.The family members waiting outside had been waiting so impatiently that their eyes were about to pop out when they finally spotted the people inside exiting.Everyone immediately perked right up and focused their gazes on the group of people walking out.“There are so many people. We need a megaphone for everyone to hear what Uncle Tony says,” Laurence remarked.The butler immediately got the hint and went looking for a megaphone. Then he respectfully offered the megaphone to Laurence, but Laurence did not take it. Instead, he signalled to the butler to hand it to Tony.The butler hurriedly handed the megaphone to Tony instead.Tony gave the butler a long, dark look before taking it and turning to face the crowd. He cleared his throat, then said in his deep voice, “Everyone, I’m sure you’ve guessed the reason why we’ve called you all here today.“After ascertaining the authenticity of the heirlooms, we’ve

    Laurence looked at Manny for a moment, then asked, “How old are you this year, if I may ask?”“Oh, I’m well into my fifties. I’m old and useless now.”“Fifties? You’re not sixty yet, so that’s not old at all. But you can retire early if you want. Since you think you’re too old to perform your duties, then you can just take an early retirement. I won’t trouble you with the company matters either.“After all, it’s the company that’s a lot of work.”The family matters only involved sending everyone gifts during the holiday season and paying respects to their departed ancestors. If arguments or conflicts arose within the family that they could not resolve themselves, they would look to the head of the family to pass judgment.There really was not much to do.In comparison to the company, his duties concerning the family were not much work at all. If the family head only dealt with family matters, he would be so idle he might end up just swatting flies to fill his free time.There wa

    When it came to capability, there was nothing further to be said about Laurence. One only had to look to Longtail Group to know.When it came to status, there was even less to be said. He was the only living offspring of the legitimate branch and according to generations of inheritance, the position of family head was his. Besides, Laurence had every single one of the head’s heirlooms.His taking over was pretty much set in stone.Tony and Manny were not happy about it, and they understood why, but in the face of reality, there was nothing that could be done no matter how unhappy they were about it. They did not even dare to make a fuss about it.Those who were at odds with the father and son duo internally snickered, ‘Serves them right!’Tony and Manny usually relied on what little power they had as acting heads to suppress those of the younger generation who were even a little bit more capable. Only those who sucked up to them and licked their boots would be given higher positio

    “Those who have seen the totem, you can take a good look,” Laurence said huskily, showing everybody the totem on his back. Every successive family head would bear the totem, but Laurence’s was branded into the skin of his back. Regardless, the totem was authentic. It could not be faked. The room fell silent as the senior family members inched closer for examination. Those who had not seen the totem before would widen their eyes. It had been three decades since the family had been without a real leader. While they had no idea whether the totem was real or not, the look on the senior members’ faces gave them the answer. Tony and the senior family members, along with the elites, scrutinized the totem and confirmed that it was genuine. Only then did Noelle put Laurence’s shirt down. Laurence turned around, allowing Noelle to straighten out his clothing. He then took a seat while Noelle returned to her post behind him. Her expression was stoic, and her piercing eyes would sw

    “You’re back, Tony.” Spotting Tony, Manny, and Roxy, Susan got up and approached them as if she had found support. Tony made a beeline for Susan and sat where she was seated. Manny and Roxy did not have any place to sit. Susan lost her seat, too. No one offered their seat to her. It was Manny who felt bad for Susan because she could not be on her feet for too long at her age. He asked for a chair and placed it next to Tony. Susan took a seat on the chair while Manny sat on the armrest of Tony’s sofa. Roxy was a young family member. Since no one gave up their seat to Susan or Tony, the chances she could get one were nil. Manny unleashed hell in his mind. Laurence had not even assumed power. However, no one offered him a seat when he, the acting head, returned. These people must think that Manny’s reign was over. Even if Manny were to step down today, he would still be in control of Longbottom Corporation. Surely, Laurence would not oust him from the company right away.

    It did not matter as the senior family members were in the same boat as Tony and Manny. Once the real head assumed power, Manny would no longer wield authority. He would just be a regular member of the family. The only exception was if Laurence allowed Manny to keep his job at Longbottom Corporation, but it was unlikely. It was only a matter of time before Manny was stripped of his position. Before Laurence even showed his face, he was already going head-to-head with Manny. Now that Laurence had the upper hand, he would not tolerate Manny staying in the company. Those who showed loyalty to Tony and Manny would not have a place once the father and son lost power. Dread washed over them because their good days were about to come to an end. They hoped that Laurence would not become the head of the family. It was their wish that Manny could finally assume the leadership role. Manny grimaced hard, and Tony’s expression was equally grim. Tony and Manny had been the acting heads

    Hayden pursed her lips and said, “Next year is far away. Things don’t always go as planned.” Quinn smiled. “That’s true. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Nothing ever goes as planned.“Do you mind if we walk together, Mr. Queen?” Hayden thought about it and declined Quinn. She was blunt. “Ever

    By then, the kids had grabbed their favorites and sat down to eat at two tables. Quinn was a foodie, and the local cuisine was right up her alley. She grabbed two plates and loaded them with food. Since there was no vacant seat with the kids, she sat at a nearby table. She put her plates down and w
