Love at First Novel

Chapter 3776

Chapter 3776 Chapter 3776 Tinsley said, “Is he looking for a way out for himself? He thinks that if he takes over our family, even if he loses everything as the acting patriarch and has to leave Havenmill, he won’t be penniless. He could also transfer a lot of the Labbe family’s business and money to us through open cooperation?” “That’s probably the case. He has already done something similar through his wife, turning some of it into his private property. However, many of the Labbe Group’s executives are family elites. They only obey the orders of the true patriarch and jointly protect the family’s assets. Mr. Labbe doesn’t have the final say in the Labbe Group. Every expenditure needs approval from many company executives. It’s difficult for him to turn the Labbe Group into his own personal property. Even the most valuable assets of the Labbe family can’t be transferred. The small businesses he can shift bring him wealth, which is already a large sum of money for ordinary people. But for him, it’s just a drop in the ocean compared to the massive assets of the Labbe family.” After learning that Mr. Labbe had been there, Elora had someone look into the current state of the Labbe family in Havenmill. She knew that no matter how capable or ruthless Mr. Labbe was, as long as he couldn’t obtain the totem and token, he would never truly control the Labbe family and might end up being used by others. Mr. Labbe hated this idea and felt frustrated, but he wasn’t the kind of person willing to be a puppet for others. He naturally sought to build relationships with influential people to increase his power, hoping that one day he could use that influence to force the family elites to submit to him. “A few years ago, didn’t the Labbe family go through some drastic changes, and wasn’t there a little kid who disappeared without a trace?” Tinsley asked. The Labbe family faced significant turmoil three or four years ago. At that time, Tinsley was in her early twenties, and the two sisters had already begun managing the Ormond family’s business.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Since Annenburg and Havenmill were neighboring cities, they naturally heard about the changes in the Labbe family. Their family had no business connections with the Labbe family. Apart from reflecting on the cruelty of human nature, they couldn’t and wouldn’t get involved. After all, it was an internal family matter. Mr. Labbe and his people operated as discreetly as Clarissa, leading to the mysterious deaths of the direct lineage. They were also linked to the underworld, making it difficult to pin down any specific charges. Even the Havenmill police didn’t have enough evidence to arrest Mr. Labbe. Much less would outsiders try to intervene. If it doesn’t concern you, just stay out of it. Elora said, “I heard that the child appeared in Meadspring, right? But that hasn’t been confirmed. Mr. Labbe really wanted to find the child, but the child’s adoptive parents were powerful, so Mr. Labbe failed in his attempts. Now, he might not even know the child’s whereabouts. The child is alive, for sure, but I don’t know where his adoptive parents have sent him.” “The Labbe family’s information network is so powerful; how could he not find him?” Tinsley asked curiously. After a moment of silence, Elora said, “Tinsley, there are always bigger fish in the sea, and there are always more powerful people out there. The Labbe family is powerful, but there are families even more powerful than the Labbe family. Each place has its own local influencers, and those influencers are only strong in their own territory. Very few families have influence all over the country or even the world. For example, our Ormond family is powerful only in Annenburg. When we go to other big cities, we have to keep a low profile, avoiding trouble and conflicts with others. Especially now, with the Internet being so developed, even a small incident posted online can lead to a wave of backlash, affecting the reputation of our company.”
