Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 5410

Everyone fell into a long silence before someone finally asked, “Tony, what do we do now? If Laurence really is that boy from all those years ago, we’re completely helpless against him.”

The other relatives might have only suspected it, but those who had actively helped Tony betray and plot against the previous family head knew the truth all too well. Ever since Longtail Group had started rising to prominence in the public eye, Tony and Manny had constantly targeted them.

Laurence, however, had survived countless assassination attempts. He was invincible. Despite everything thrown at him over the years, he was still kicking, while Tony had lost countless men.

As Longtail Group grew more powerful and eventually caught up to Longbottom Corporation, those people had grown increasingly anxious. They were terrified that Laurence was that boy returning for vengeance.

Today, their fears were finally confirmed. Amidst the terror, they also felt relieved. They were terrified because Laurence was definitely back for blood, but relieved because the target was finally confirmed and there would be no more guessing games.

“We can’t kill him, and trying to get the heirlooms from him is incredibly difficult. Since he’s made his stance clear, he’s basically telling us that he’s coming back to take over the family,” Tony said thoughtfully.

“Once he produces all the family heirlooms, and the family elders and the top executives verify them, he will be the true head of the family.

“When the rightful heir returns, Manny will naturally step down as the acting head. My son and I have exhausted ourselves for this family for thirty years anyway. It’s about time we take a good rest.”

Everyone exchanged uneasy glances.

Was Tony really just going to hand over the family headship like that?

However, considering how terrifying Laurence was, it made sense.

Under the current circumstances, they had no choice but to bow their heads and yield.

“Tony, if he takes power, how will we ever live in peace? Who knows what happened back then… If he ever finds evidence, every one of us will be dead.”

Tony shot the man a glance and simply said, “We shall wait and see.”

With that, everyone fell silent.

…

Around four in the afternoon, Laurence and the rest arrived at the O’Connors’ estate.
