Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5605

"How much are we talking about? Given that you're so worried, is it a sum that will force us to empty our coffers?"

Tony was silent for a moment before answering, "Not that bad, but it still makes me furious. We sold those things, and now we have to spend a fortune to buy them back. The money had been spent, yet now we have to pay it all back with interest.

"Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. Laurence is despicable, so are those buyers who are jacking up their prices."

Susan sat down and urged him to eat first. "No matter how angry you are, you still have to take care of your health. That boy would love nothing more than to see you fall sick. He's practically waiting for you to die. You're the backbone of our family. You can't afford to collapse."

When she was younger, she hated and resented her husband. She helped him commit so many terrible deeds to secure their wealth, only for him to start fooling around with other women as soon as he became rich.

His mistresses kept increasing, and many of them were young enough to be his daughters.

She had fought with him, but eventually, she grew numb to it all. In the end, all she asked for was for him to groom their son as his heir and continue looking after the family. Rather than not wanting a divorce, it was because she knew that if they separated, she and her family might be silenced forever.

She knew too much about Tony. As husband and wife, they were on the same boat, so he would not touch her. However, if they divorced, they would no longer be on the same side. He would fear she might seek revenge and expose everything he had done.

Since he murdered the former head’s whole family, there was nothing he would not do to her and her loved ones.

For the Longbottoms, reverence for the head of the family was instilled from a young age. Few people would even dare to show disrespect toward the head, let alone plot to wipe out his entire family. Tony's actions showed just how ruthless he was.

Now, they were all old. Even their son was already in his fifties. They no longer had the energy to hate or resent each other, and their relationship improved considerably.
