Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5414

In the end, Laurence won the bid.

He bought the necklace not only because it belonged to his family, but also because he wanted to give the necklace to Noelle.

Once he confessed his feelings to Noelle, he would give this necklace to her as a token of their feelings for one another.

The only person he wanted to marry was Noelle. With him as the head of the family, she would then be the missus. Since the necklace had once belonged to a previous lady of the Longbottoms’ house, he would make it so that it once again belonged to the missus of the Longbottom family.

Laurence had no interest in bidding for the rest of the goods that subsequently went up for auction.

Lilian and Jane each managed to buy something they liked, and so did Isabella and Tati. Even Tony and his son bought a few items that were not so expensive.

After the auction ended, Tony and his group waited outside for Laurence and his party to exit,

From time to time, he even reminded Manny and Roxy, “Be respectful to Laurence later.”

They had to act their best.

For now, they had no other paths they could take. The only thing they could do now was to wait and figure out a way to get rid of Laurence after he took over the family as the head.

Before then, he would not be surrounded by enemies. The moment he took the proverbial throne, he would be. Tony felt that they would have even more chances to take him down then.

After all, Laurence had not grown up in Havenmill and did not have bonds with the rest of the family. So what if his Longtail Group had caught up to Longbottom Corporation?

The Longbottom family members who valued the family more would not be as easy to control as he imagined.

Plus, many of the members were of the same faction as Tony. If they all worked together against Laurence, then he might not necessarily be able to have a stable reign.

Tony, who had been lamenting their inability to steal the family head’s heirlooms, suddenly felt a lot more optimistic.

Once Laurence and the rest walked out, Tony immediately headed for them, with Manny, Roxy and their bodyguards following closely behind. Manny hurried forward to support Tony, as he was getting on in years, and it was a lot of effort to put on such a show; he was afraid his father would fall.

“Laurence, Laurence!” Tony shouted excitedly.
