Chapter 3778 Chapter 3778 “Sister,” Tinsley said, blushing as Elora teased her. Just then, Tinsley’s phone started ringing again. It was Mr. Labbe calling, yet another time. “Sister, it’s that old man again. Do you want me to answer it?” Tinsley asked with a frown, clearly irritated. “He just doesn’t know when to quit,” she muttered. “He’s so fake, acting like he has no idea how annoying he is.” Mr. Labbe, who had schemed his way to power by eliminating his rivals, never truly possessed any real nobility or grace. “You should answer, or he’ll just keep calling,” Elora suggested. “You can’t expect a rogue like him to act like a gentleman.” Tinsley rolled her eyes and said, “How could the real head of the Labbe family be taken down by someone like him? It’s impossible to fully protect yourself against people with hidden agendas. The head of the Labbe family only led for a few short years before all this happened. This old man must have been planning his move for a long time. Now, there’s only one child left from the main family line. I wonder if that child will grow up strong enough.” “If that child doesn’t have the ability to seek revenge, it might be better for them to live a simple life, without knowing the ugly truth. At least that way, they’d survive. After all, money isn’t everything.” A large family is like a dynasty; it’s not unusual for power to change hands. It just shows that the main line of the Labbe family lost its strength and got overpowered by those on the sidelines. Reluctantly, Tinsley answered Mr. Labbe’s call. “Second Miss Ormond,” Mr. Labbe began, his voice still smooth and polite, despite his underlying frustration. “Mr. Labbe, is there something you need?” Tinsley asked in a polite tone, masking her irritation with a little white lie. “I was just in a meeting, so my phone was on silent. I only just saw your call now.”
She didn’t want to admit that she had been intentionally avoiding his calls. “It’s alright, Second Miss Ormond. I figured you were busy,” Mr. Labbe replied, keeping his voice calm. “You’re always busy being the best at what you do. I’m actually at the entrance of your company now, at the Qaxun Group. Could you let the security team know to let me in? I’d like to meet with your eldest sister to discuss a possible partnership between our companies. If she’s unavailable, I’d be happy to speak with you instead.” “Second Miss Ormond, you’re known to be approachable and open to conversation,” he added, trying to sound pleasant. Tinsley replied smoothly, “I’m afraid I can’t help you with that, Mr. Labbe. My sister’s schedule is extremely tight, and she rarely has any free time. Everything in her day is planned out to the minute.” “As the head of your family, I’m sure you understand how hard it is to change plans once everything’s been set.” Mr. Labbe hesitated, then asked, “Well then, Second Miss Ormond, do you have any availability?” “Unfortunately, I’m not free either,” Tinsley said firmly. “I’ve just wrapped up a meeting and need to head out for another appointment with a client. I’m really tied up at the moment. I hope you understand.” After a short pause, she continued, “Wouldn’t it be better to follow the formal appointment process? You can meet with my sister at the scheduled time to discuss business.” In truth, Elora had no intention of partnering with the Labbe Group. But Tinsley wasn’t going to say that outright. There was a long silence on the other end before Mr. Labbe finally said, “According to the usual schedule, my appointment would be pushed all the way to next summer. That’s too long to wait.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
