Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5485

“Once you’ve earned Laurence’s trust, drive a wedge between him and Noelle to ruin their relationship.”

Earlier, Tony had brought several family elders to speak with Laurence about his marriage, but Laurence declared that the only woman he loved was Noelle.

If no one interfered, Noelle becoming the lady of the Longbottom family would be a disaster. That woman was formidable enough on her own.

Laurence was already difficult to deal with. If Noelle became the lady of the house, the two of them would truly be unstoppable. There would be no chance for Manny to make a comeback.

Every time Manny thought about how he and his father had struggled for thirty years, only to end up returning everything to Laurence, he choked with resentment.

Thirty years of scheming, only for the family leadership to slip back into the direct lineage.

Even the residence they had occupied for thirty years now had to be vacated for Laurence.

Although they had amassed considerable wealth over the years and owned several villas, those were different.

That estate represented authority.

Misty was silent for a while before smiling wryly. “Mr. Longbottom, you overestimate me. Mr. Laurence isn’t some inexperienced man. He’s the owner of Longtail Group. You know better than anyone how quickly Longtail has risen to where it is today.

“You also know what kind of person he is and how guarded he is around young women. It’ll be difficult enough for me to stay by his side, let alone drive a wedge between him and Noelle.

“Today, I asked Noelle to help with refreshments and the CEO reprimanded me, saying I was not qualified to tell her what to do. That woman completely ignored me as well. It’s obvious she doesn’t care about me.

“Even the look in her eyes was terrifying. Just meeting her eyes made me panic, as though I did something wrong to her.”

She had long heard of Noelle’s reputation.

That woman’s self-defense skills were extraordinary. Laurence survived countless assassination attempts over the years largely because of her protection.

She was not just a martial arts expert. She was also skilled in poisons and in healing.
