Chapter 4055
Tatum said, “Mr. Labbe approached you because he’s clearly looking to collaborate with your company.”
However, he’s just the acting head of the Labbe family, not the true decision-maker. If the real head returns, all his hard work will only serve someone else’s agenda. He knows this too well. Look at what happened to the head of the Farrell family in Jensburg—it must have been a wake-up call for him. He doesn’t want to meet the same fate.
That’s why this business he’s proposing must be his personal venture, but he’s disguising it under the Labbe family’s banner. After all, the Labbe family wields immense influence in Province X.”
Financially, the Ormond family and the Labbe family might be on par, but the Labbe family’s influence in Province X far surpasses that of the Ormonds, especially given the Ormond family’s smaller size.
Elora responded, her tone laced with skepticism. “He’s highly ambitious. Right now, the collaboration is in its early stages, but eventually, he’ll find ways to cheat us and try to swallow the Ormond family’s business. On top of that, he’s notorious for his lustful behavior. He’s ruined countless lives—some women even lost their lives because of him.”
“If he tires of someone, he lets his wife handle the dirty work—punishing mistresses, forcing abortions on women who want to keep their babies. His scandals have long been the talk of Province X. People who want favors from him know the drill—send a beautiful woman his way, and he’ll grant their requests without hesitation.”
Tatum fell silent for a moment before finally saying, “Men with money and power often fall into two traps: gambling or women. How many can truly stay clean and loyal to their families?”
“The men of the York family are different, though. They’re so admired, and their family values are deeply respected. With the backing of other influential families, the York family has become a symbol of honor. It’s no wonder families with eligible daughters dream of marrying into the York family.”
Then, Tatum’s voice grew serious. “Miss, your sisters are all young and beautiful. I worry they may become targets.”
Elora’s eyes narrowed as she turned to look at him. After a long pause, she asked, “Mr. Labbe has only visited a few times. How can you be so sure of his ambition?”
Tatum replied, “I’ve known about Mr. Labbe for some time. While we’re not close, his reputation precedes him. His appetite for women is no secret—he changes mistresses as often as he changes clothes. You said it yourself; everyone in Province X knows this.”
“Last year, he made several trips to Wiltspoon and even had indirect dealings with the York family. Let’s just say those interactions weren’t exactly positive. That’s how I came to know more about him.”
Tatum stopped short of mentioning Titus.
Although Elora was his fiancée and someone he trusted, the fewer people who knew about
Titus, the better. If she ever crossed paths with Titus in the future, she’d learn everything on her own. For now, it was better to leave that chapter unopened.
Titus, after all, kept to himself, living a quiet life with the family’s elders. He rarely visited Wiltspoon, let alone ventured to Annenburg in Province X, so Elora was unlikely to meet him. The less she knew, the less entangled the Ormond family would become in matters involving Titus.
The Ormond family was located just 200 kilometers away from the Labbe family. With someone as ruthless as Mr. Labbe targeting them, it wouldn’t take much for their family to falter under his schemes.
Elora trusted her instincts. Rosie once said the York family was like local royalty in Wiltspoon, with their ears to the ground and an extensive network of connections.
The Bucham family, known for their exceptional intelligence network, had a close alliance with the Yorks, making them a formidable source of information.
