Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5585

"I have time for romance, Noelle. If you want to experience what dating feels like, don't worry. I'll grant your wish.

"Sonny will be here next month to take charge of Longtail. Once he arrives, I'll have a lot less on my plate. Most of the affairs at Longbottom Corp are trivial matters anyway. I've already handed them over to Manny.

"I'll let Manny think I need his help and don't dare to touch him. Once he starts feeling confident again, his old arrogance will return. Arrogant people are more likely to make mistakes."

Noelle was speechless.

Laurence flashed her a grin.

Noelle turned away and stared straight at the road ahead.

They arrived at the secondary residence where the Longbottom family heads treated it as a vacation home. They truly knew how to enjoy life.

The villa was a little smaller than the main estate, but it was beautifully designed. Unlike the imposing main estate, this place was built for comfort and pleasure.

People were assigned to maintain the residence. They were usually older family members who lacked the skills to earn a good living. Thus, the head of the family would arrange jobs for them as a way of helping them out.

However, even if the head of the family gave them work, they still had to follow the rules. Anyone who did a poor job would be dismissed. Being a Longbottom did not give them permission to act however they pleased.

The villa's butler, Stuart, had been promoted by Manny when he was the acting head. Stuart was deeply grateful to Manny and remained loyal. He did not accept Laurence, the newly appointed head, feeling that Laurence did not deserve the position.

Tony and Manny had served as the acting heads for thirty years. Even if they did not achieve great things, their hard work had to count for something. Why should Laurence be made the head of the family the moment he returned? Just because he had the family head's seal, token, and totem?

Why should the position always be reserved for the legitimate line?
