Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5403

Who would not wish to be the true head of the family?

The true head of the Longbottoms was recognized by the sacred heirlooms, and every single piece of it was essential.

If one piece were missing, ascending to the position of the true head of the family was out of the question.

Since they were so incredibly important, Manny naturally insisted on stealing them or, as he preferred to see it, reclaiming them personally.

After all, those items rightfully belonged to his branch of the family. He and Tony had collectively served as the acting heads for thirty long years.

They knew the family’s internal affairs inside and out, were familiar with all the business operations, and the vast majority of the other family branches lived comfortably under their rule. Only a handful of stubborn troublemakers were constantly nitpicking and finding fault, and that was solely because those particular relatives had not managed to line their own pockets.

Manny would never admit that he had been squeezing the profits out of his own family, driving many of them to the point where they could barely even survive.

He refused to arrange jobs for his relatives within Longbottom Corporation, denying them positions even in the minor subsidiaries. Only the relatives who actively flattered them and fell in line were ever granted employment. As for those stubborn troublemakers, Manny went out of his way to sabotage them even if they tried to apply for jobs at entirely unrelated companies.

He made sure those troublemakers could not find work anywhere, and he even blocked them from doing basic food delivery jobs. He would pay people to get those who ordered takeout to file complaints or leave negative reviews.

In short, if the troublemakers refused to make his life easy, he would make sure their lives were a living hell.

After Manny left, Tony sat quietly in his seat for a few moments longer. Finally, he stood up, headed upstairs to his study, locked the door behind him, and waited in total silence for Manny to bring back the good news.

Meanwhile, Manny and his men stealthily made their way toward the perimeter of Laurence’s estate.

Having been there countless times, Manny knew Laurence loved to set traps all along the walls. This time, they used a ladder to scale the wall, but instead of jumping straight down into the yard, they waited until the few leading the way had all climbed up the wall.
