LOGIN“Tony Longbottom, my real name is Laurence Longbottom.” Laurence directly addressed Tony by his name.“If I told you the previous head of the family you mentioned was my biological father, would you believe it?”Just two sentences alone from Laurence made Tony turn purple in splotches, but he did not dare to do anything in front of so many people. He recovered very quickly, however, and put on a happily surprised expression. “You really are Laurence?“And here I was thinking how you could look so alike? Where have you been these thirty years, child? We’ve been looking for you for all these years.”There was no mirth behind Laurence’s smile in reply. “Well, Tony, this is the auction hall, and it’s not the right time for us to rehash the past. Once the auction’s over, let’s find a time to properly catch up.”After Laurence finished speaking, he turned to Jane and Lilian and said warmly, “Mom, Master, our seats are over there.”Then, he led them toward their seats.It was some dist
Jane asked, not seeing the children around.After everyone greeted each other, Austin invited everyone indoors. As he walked, he replied, “They all went back yesterday. The elders were complaining that it’s summer break and it’s rare for the kids to be free, and they wanted to spend time with them, so they were all sent back.”If they stayed here, it would be so noisy. Even though the kids were all quite well-behaved, whenever they played together, they would still argue sometimes.Taking care of one child was enough to give one a headache, let alone a whole troop of them.When the kids were all around, Austin had arguments to break up every day. They were such headaches that, despite his good-tempered nature, he would lose his temper sometimes.“No wonder it’s so quiet. It’s summer break and the kids finally get to gather together. The elders just love it when it’s lively at home.”Lilian remarked, “I look forward to whenever the kids aren’t at home.”She was the most impatient
Everyone 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
“Zack brought Sonny to school.”Grandma May caressed Heath’s face, “I guess you’ve decided to name him Heath. What about a middle name? Have you and Zachary thought of one?“We can help you think of a middle name.”Grandma May was eager. She had named her sons while she and her late husband thoug
If Grandma May were willing to come to Huntington and speak on his behalf, the Doyles would probably not punish him as much out of respect for her. However, the old lady would not come. She was the one who enjoyed bothering him the most. Dylan had a million complaints about Grandma May during
Kade’s company had agreed to collaborate with Davidson Group, and he was the person in charge of the project. Therefore, he often appeared at Davidson Group as he had to come over to discuss work. Dylan had to admit that he was jealous of Kade’s freedom to come and go from Davidson Group as he w
When Jane exited the bedroom, she saw Zachary walking over with two children in tow.“Mom.”“Mom.”The twins immediately ditched Zachary and ran toward Jane as soon as they spotted her.Zachary quickly ran after them and reminded them, “Be careful. Don’t fall.”Jane also stepped forward and squ
