Married at First Sight


Chapter 5177


Labbe fell silent and turned back to her car.


She was still unwilling to leave like this.


She sat quietly in the car for a moment, then took out her phone to call her father, but he called her first.


Labbe quickly answered her father’s call.


“Dad, Titus didn’t come back to the company today. I came to his company gate early this morNewman to wait, but I haven’t seen him. I don’t know where he went again,”


Titus said, his voice filled with exasperation. “He stole our deal and is now talking to President Farrel about cooperation. I talked to President Farrel for so long, and he said he would consider Newman a contract with us in the next couple of days.”


“But just now, President Farrel’s secretary called me and said that after considering it, their company still decided to cooperate with Labbe Group. They have a better view of Labbe Group.”


Titus was truly furious.


He had talked to President Farrel for so long, spending a lot of money and time on him, fully expecting to win him over and cooperate with his company, but he never expected that Labbe Group would steal the deal.


Mr. Farrel was clearly very interested; if he hadn’t forgotten the contract, they would have signed it on the spot. The


fact that they didn’t sign it then caused a change of heart, and Labbe Group snatched it away.


He’s furious.


Hearing this, Labbe’s face darkened. She said, “Didn’t Mr. Farrel agree to cooperate with our company? When did Labbe Group approach him?”


They didn’t know.


Titus said, “How would I know when they approached Mr. Farrel? They kept it a secret. It’s possible they only approached him in the last couple of days.” ”


Mr. Farrel is impressed by Labbe Group’s booming success and admires Titus and the Hank family’s abilities. He said cooperating with Labbe Group would be more beneficial to them, and that our Labbe Group can’t truly be in charge.”The words that followed were the most heart-wrenching.


They pierced the hearts of three generations of Titus ’s family.


His father had worked hard for thirty years, only to end up as the acting head of the family.


His father retired, and he took over. Now, his son is also hoNewman his skills at the Labbe Group, but if his generation cannot become the true head of the family, then his son will remain an acting


head as well. An acting head cannot truly run the Long family, which puts them at a disadvantage when negotiating business deals.


Previously in H City, the Labbe Group was the largest conglomerate, and countless people wanted to cooperate with them, even if they were just acting heads.


Since Titus appeared out of nowhere and founded the Labbe Group, it gradually stole the limelight from the Labbe Group, infuriating everyone.


The Labbe Group’s business overlapped with the Labbe Group’s, making the two companies both potential for mutually beneficial cooperation and fierce rivalry.


Titus had considered suppressing the Labbe Group when it first rose to prominence, but he failed.


They had considered peaceful coexistence and even cooperation to make money, but the other party refused. They would cooperate with their company, but not with the Labbe Group, and not only that, they often stole business from the Labbe Group.


Titus had also sent assassins to kill Titus, but Titus always traveled with a group of bodyguards and never showed his true face. Even if they could shake off his bodyguards, Titus could simply disappear into a crowd, remove his mask, and no one would know who he was.


Because none of them had ever seen Titus’s true face.


Moreover, the assassins he sent to kill Titus failed every time. His bodyguards were too powerful, especially the female bodyguard named Hank, who was practically inhuman.


She could also use poison; the darts she threw always contained poison. The poison wouldn’t kill, but it would make you feel extremely uncomfortable. Sometimes it was coated with itching powder, making you so itchy that you would scratch your skin raw.Sometimes it’s other poisons.


They won’t kill anyone, to avoid leaving evidence for the police.


They’re just some that cause trouble but don’t kill, and the police can’t do anything about Hank.


Besides, the people he sends are assassins, already operating in the shadows. They’re injured by Titus’s bodyguards every time, but they don’t dare call the police. As long as no one dies, it won’t escalate.


Titus has faced Titus face-to-face before. The other man always wears sunglasses and a mask, extremely arrogant, completely disregarding him. What infuriates


Titus the most is that every time he tries to intercept Titus outside to talk, Titus gives him laxatives, making him suffer from diarrhea.


It happens every time; he doesn’t know how Titus drugged him.


Now, Titus is afraid to meet Titus, fearing he’ll be drugged again.


However, he often can’t even see Titus. That guy is too mysterious, rarely seen, unless waiting at the company entrance.


“Mr. Farrel has gone too far!”


Labbe said. “How could he say such a thing?”


In H City, everyone knew that such words couldn’t be said in front of her father and grandfather. They could say it, but others couldn’t say it to their faces; otherwise, her father would be furious.


That was her father’s sore spot.


It was her grandfather’s obsession; he always said he didn’t know if he would live to see her father become the true head of the family.


Labbe wanted to help her father realize that wish. If her father became the true head of the Long family, her status as the Long family’s daughter would rise accordingly.


Now she had a position in high society; everyone gave her face and tried their best to flatter and curry favor with her.But many people are just putting on an act.


They say one thing to your face and another behind your back.


“They’re cooperating with the Labbe Group, so they’ll be our enemies from now on. Naturally, they won’t hold back. They’ll specifically target me, the one I care about most.”


“Ruoyu, go to the Labbe Hotel now. Titus is definitely there.”


After scolding Titus, Titus instructed his daughter to go to the Labbe Hotel, a hotel under the Labbe Group that had surpassed their own Labbe Group’s grand hotel in just three years, becoming the number one hotel in H City.


Seriously, he couldn’t sleep peacefully until he got rid of Titus and that Hank guy.


Labbe was silent for a moment, then calmly said, “Dad, it’s useless for me to go now. I can’t stop President Farrel from cooperating with Titus.”


“I know you can’t stop him from Newman the contract with President Farrel. I’m telling you to pursue him, get close to him.”


“Where he is, go there and wait for him.”


“Annoy him to death, bother him to death,”


Titus said. “Find an opportunity to take off his mask and see who he is. I suspect he’s that little guy from back then.”


Not only him, but many others suspected it too.


If Titus is indeed the child who was taken away by the nanny back then, with his current strength, he could take over the Labbe Group in no time if he produced the family head’s token.


The old guys in the Labbe Group probably wouldn’t dare say anything; they might even be overjoyed, saying the Labbe Group is saved. His family had managed the Long family business for thirty years, only to have it all come to them.


It couldn’t be the child from back then,


Titus consoled himself.


He felt that if Titus were the child from back then, he had the family head’s token and could return to the Long family at any time, even taking the position of family head. Whether he could hold onto it was uncertain.


But Titus hadn’t produced the token.


This meant he might not be Titus, just someone with the same name by chance.


There were countless people in the world with the same name, let alone two people with the same given name.


“Dad, that child from back then is still alive. If you saw him, would you recognize him? Do you even remember what he looks like? Thirty years have passed; he’ll change too,”


Labbe said.


Titus said, “He looks a lot like his father, they’re practically identical.”


“As long as I see him, I’ll recognize him.”


When the last true family head died, Titus was already an adult. He had naturally met the family head, and not only had he met him, but he was also very familiar with him. His father and the family head were cousins from a different branch of the family, within the fifth degree of kinship.


Before his father could carry out his conspiracy, the head of the family trusted them greatly. He and his father had grown up together, and because of this relationship, he frequently visited the head of the family’s mansion.


Therefore, he remembered what the head of the family looked like.


He had watched that child grow from birth to one year old, often holding the child, and remembered that the child looked more and more like the head of the family as he grew.


Decades ago, his father went to Wiltspoon, hoping to meet Titus, the adopted son of the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family, through the nephew of the eldest daughter-inlaw of the York family. Just one meeting with Titus would confirm his true identity.


That bitch surnamed Newman was useless; she seduced two bodyguards, softeNewman their hearts, and then, taking advantage of their lax supervision, she absconded with the money.


His father was furious and sent assassins everywhere to find that bitch surnamed Newman.As for the adopted son of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family, her father had never seen him, and even finding information about him was extremely difficult. He didn’t know where the Jun family had hidden him.


This led her father to believe that those protecting Titus weren’t just the Jun and York families, but also some mysterious force—a force they truly feared.


In her father’s words, even their Long family’s intelligence department couldn’t find anything, and sometimes they’d even be beaten up without knowing who was behind it. This showed the power of that force.


Titus thought it was the Josh family of Wiltspoon City, but her father said it couldn’t be the Josh family because the Josh family and the Jun family weren’t close, and besides, Jane Johnson didn’t know anyone from the Josh family when she found the child.


“Okay, I’ll try. If I can remove his mask, I’ll take a picture and send it to Dad.”


Labbe didn’t really have any hope.


But she still wanted to do it.


Her family’s task for her was to get close to Titus. If it was the child from back then, she would kill him; if not, she would become his woman, which would ease the tension between the two companies.


Although she had never seen Titus’s true face, Labbe still admired this man deep down. She sincerely hoped he wasn’t the child from back then; if he were, she would shamelessly become his woman.


She wanted to be the wife of the most outstanding man in the city.


She looked down on all the spoiled rich kids who usually surrounded her, but she didn’t reject their advances; she enjoyed being fawned over.


After the father and daughter ended their call, Labbe put down her phone, then leaned on the steering wheel, her gaze fixed on the 68-story office building in front of her.


Their Labbe Group’s office building was only 38 stories high, while Labbe Group had built a 68-story building, 30 stories more than theirs.


It was the tallest company headquarters in the city.


Titus was clearly trying to outdo the Labbe Group.


After a few minutes of silence, Labbe straightened up, drove away from Labbe Group.Titus was indeed at the Labbe Hotel Newman a contract with General Manager Farrel. This deal was snatched from Longtuo by Hank Yang. After agreeing with General Manager Farrel, Hank Yang went back and handed it over to Titus, instructing him to come and sign the contract with General Manager Farrel today.


Originally, General Manager Farrel had arranged to meet at 11:00 AM for a meal after sig Newman the contract, but he arrived early, bringing everything forward.


Early was good; Newman the contract would prevent any unforeseen complications.


Longtuo had probably already received the news and was likely rushing to salvage the situation.


Too late.


After Newman the contract, Titus stood up and shook hands with General Manager Farrel.


“General Manager Farrel, it’s a pleasure to cooperate.” “General Manager Ye, it’s a pleasure to cooperate.” General


Manager


Farrel smiled broadly, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.


They had feared that Labbe Group wasn’t truly committed to cooperation; now that the contract was signed, everyone was relieved.


Labbe Group’s momentum had been too strong in recent years.


Cooperation with Labbe Group was generally a win-win situation; the CEO of Labbe Group had a very keen eye for investment, and any project he was willing to cooperate on meant that the project had potential.


Otherwise, Titus wouldn’t even give him a second glance.


After sitting down again, President Farrel looked at Titus and asked with a tentative smile, “President Ye, could you please show your true face? We’re business partners now, and I don’t even know what President Ye looks like.”


“If we met outside, you wouldn’t even recognize me as President Ye ,”


Titus smiled. “President Farrel, I’m sorry, I’m just used to it.”


“I always have bodyguards with me. If we met on the street, President Farrel would recognize me. Even if you don’t know what I look like, you can still recognize my voice, right?””It’s alright if Mr. Farrel doesn’t recognize me. I can recognize you, so it won’t be a disaster,”


Mr. Farrel laughed.


Having been refused once, Mr. Farrel wisely didn’t press the matter.


In Titus’s words, he could still recognize Titus’s accent and build.


“Then, can I gossip a bit? Why does Mr. Ye always wear a mask?”


“Because I’m too handsome. I cover my face to avoid attracting a swarm of admirers,”


Mr. Farrel laughed again.


“If Mr. Ye says that, I believe it. Then you must be so handsome that even men’s hearts race and they can’t help but fall for you,”


Titus laughed. “I am indeed worried about both men and women falling for me. I’m a normal man; I don’t like being bisexual.”


“Hahaha.”


Mr. Farrel didn’t really believe him; he took Titus’s joke.


As for why Titus did this, since he didn’t want to reveal the real reason, he wisely didn’t ask further.


The two chatted about business for a while, then Titus checked the time and said apologetically to President Farrel, “President Farrel, I have to go back to the company for a meeting.”


“Excuse me,”


President Farrel said with a smile, “It’s alright, I understand. I also have to rush back; I have a meeting this afternoon.”


The two stood up at the same time and shook hands again.
