Chapter 5229

Autor: Gu Lingfei
“Ms. Flemming, do you drink?” Sonny asked. “I didn’t order any alcohol. I figured Old Mr. Flemming is a senior, so drinking wouldn’t be ideal, and I honestly didn’t think about whether you might want some.”

Everly replied, “Let’s skip the alcohol today. A simple meal like this is nice enough. I have to drink often during business events, but the truth is, I really don’t like alcohol.”

The Flemmings had come mainly to discuss business and sign the contract, so drinking was inappropriate anyway.

  • Married at First Sight   Chapter 5422

    “It’s true that you look remarkably like the late family head who passed away decades ago, but even those unrelated by blood can share a resemblance. How can you prove you’re the son of the late family head?” Laurence said solemnly, “Without the family heirlooms, I wouldn’t even show my face around here or call every family member here.” The mention of the bloodline was such a low blow since his immediate family was dead. Laurence was aware of the family rules. Susan’s attempt to use the bloodline against him would not work. Susan scanned the room before her gaze fell on Laurence’s handsome face. Laurence kept his cool, looking like he had everything in the bag. She knew that a DNA test would not hold Laurence back. Still, she said, “Since you have everything, why don’t you show us the totem?” The totem was the key. In any case, the totem had always been carefully protected by the successive family heads. The totem would only be shown to everyone when a new head was takin

    Roxy tore into Laurence too. The fact that Laurence got back to Havenmill more quickly caught them off guard. “Grandpa, we have lost the upper hand.” Tony replied, “I know.” They were backed into a corner. Laurence was far more cunning than they had imagined. It was bad enough that they could not get a good read on him. After years of rivalry, Tony thought he knew Laurence inside out. Yet today, Tony realized there was a lot more to him. One little mistake, and they could lose their lives. “It’s so frustrating,” Roxy murmured under her breath. Ignoring her, Tony sank his back against the seat and closed his eyes. His mind was busy figuring out ways to turn the tables. He needed to get out of the deadlock. Susan sat on an armchair in the huge living room while Laurence took the couch. Noelle, along with the bodyguards, stood behind him. The senior family members were seated while others stood, packing the living room to the brim. The crowd spilled beyond the livin

    The fact that Laurence could summon the whole family to be under one roof in a short amount of time sent a shiver down Susan’s spine. She suspected that Laurence had been in touch with the family members. Laurence, a Longbottom, was the CEO of Longtail group, and the company had established itself in Havenmill for a few years now. If Laurence knew about his history, he must have started planning the moment he set foot in the city. Well, that would not surprise Susan as much. However, terror gripped her as Laurence might have been interacting with the family members right under her nose. “We are back in Havenmill. It will take us half an hour to reach home. The traffic is horrible, with some parts of the road in a gridlock.” Tony added, “That’s a norm in the city. You know that. Don’t panic. Keep your composure. We knew he was coming. So long as he provides the heirlooms, he will be the head of the family. “So what if he proves to be a Longbottom? Shouldn’t he take a DNA test?

    Tony said, “I never brought it up. I wouldn’t want to put family at risk.” He had a deeper bond with Susan’s offspring. Susan had built the empire alongside him and had been his biggest supporter. Susan’s family had provided a lot of resources as well. It was true that Tony had cheated on her more than a handful of times, but he had never neglected Susan. His connections, resources, and assets practically belonged to Susan’s children. It was his way of compensating Susan for turning a blind eye. That was what Susan had proposed back then. So long as Tony gave everything he had to her children, she could not care less about the lovers he had. Her only wish was that these mistresses would not carry a son for him. Since Tony already had a son, he did not need another son to take care of the family. He was allowed to have daughters out of wedlock. Most of the Longbottom girls did not have access to the family’s core businesses. Their assignment was to marry well and provide f

    There was hatred in Roxy’s eyes. “I want to drive a wedge between Laurence and Noelle. The misunderstanding will drive them apart.” She hated Noelle the most. Noelle was uncompromisingly strict and highly skilled in combat. The point was, she had Laurence’s deepest trust and respect. The way Laurence looked at Noelle was something else. Roxy dared to say that Laurence was in love with Noelle. Noelle’s heart belonged to Laurence, too. “Grandpa, we can use Noelle. She’s loyal to Laurence, but she’s just a girl. She loves Laurence. Once Laurence produces the family heirlooms and takes over the family, his social standing will rise, but within the family, he will be bound by tradition. “Noelle is unfit to be Mrs. Longbottom. Can Laurence change the family law for her? With the senior family members around, they won’t let him get his way. Noelle is a good pawn to tear Laurence down.” Tony said, “I know, but that won’t work since they trust each other. They are too smart to get t

    Tony said, “Louis is out of the question. Isabella practically raised him. It won’t be easy for you to wrap him around your finger.” Back then, Tony tried to set Manny up with Tati and did not bother to consider Isabella because the latter was a force to be reckoned with. Surely, Louis, growing up under Isabella’s guidance, would refuse to be tamed. “Who else is better, Grandpa? I have feelings for Louis. Laurence was just my mission, but it’s a different story with Louis.” Roxy honestly fancied Louis. It was love at first sight. Of course, Louis’s standing was the most attractive trait. He was a worthy match for her. Since Roxy was the granddaughter of the Longbottoms’ acting family head, she had every right to become the lady of the O’Connor household. Laurence was good-looking, but in terms of family hierarchy, he was technically her distant uncle. The family did not have proof that Laurence was a Longbottom before, but Manny assigned her to get close to him and find evi

Zoey complained that Quinn treated those men as buddies.Why buddies? Why could they not become lovers?Ev

    After the bodyguards restrained the woman, Belinda beat her up until her face was utterly bruised, so much so she was almost unrecognizable. “Belinda.”Hunter was worried that she would beat the woman to death. He also felt sorry for the woman he had been intimate with for some time and went to pull

    In a rented house, Camryn’s aunts sat on an old sofa while Carrie sat on a chair. A few rotten apples were placed on a wooden coffee table in between them. Brenda told Carrie embarrassedly, “This is how we’re living now, Carrie. Don’t be too picky. I used my connections and got a job as a cleaner in

    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
