Chapter 3473
Elora stated, “If he continues to resist, inform him that if he wishes to collaborate with our Ormond family, he should have the true head of their family come to discuss the cooperation with us. He is merely the acting head of the family. When the actual head returns, he will lose the authority to make decisions or have any influence.”
Tinsley burst into laughter.
“Sister, if you relay that message to Mr. Labbe, he will be so furious that he might explode. Everyone knows he aspires to be the head of the family. Unfortunately, he lacks the totem, token, or special chapter. No matter how many people he bribes, he remains illegitimate in his position as the head of the family.”
Over the years, regarding the Labbe family, those who sought to curry favor with Mr. Labbe would refer to him as the head of the family, while more principled individuals would dispute his claim.
The original head of the family was eliminated a few years back, and those in the know are aware of who was responsible.
“He has been struggling for years to find the totem, token, and special chapter. Those items should have been taken away by the former head. I refuse to believe that such a powerful individual and his entire family were completely wiped out.”
Someone must have survived.
She had heard that the former head had a young son who escaped with the help of a nanny, but she was unaware of the child’s whereabouts.

However, the incident occurred only a few years ago, and she wasn’t sure if the child was even one year old at the time of the tragedy. If he survived, he would now be at most three or four years old.
How could a three or four-year-old child…
who, at such a young age in kindergarten, could bear such a heavy burden, let alone uncover the truth about the tragedy that occurred that year?
On the contrary, Elora hoped the child would remain unaware of the truth. Without the protection of his parents and having lost everything, even if someone were to adopt him, no matter how exceptional he might be, he would struggle to compete with Mr. Labbe now.
If he’s not careful, that child could end up being reunited with his family.
His parents and relatives did everything they could to send him away and save his life. They must have wished for him to grow up safely and healthily, to marry, have children, and lead an ordinary, happy life.
Wealthy families often face many conflicts and struggles. In their pursuit of power and profit, they fight fiercely, akin to a palace drama.
This is especially true of large families that have been around for over a century and still cling to many outdated beliefs.
Elora heard that an old prominent family in Jensburg is currently experiencing severe internal strife, a situation quite similar to that of the Labbe family.
The tragedy that befell the old family in Jensburg occurred several decades ago, while the Labbe family’s tragedy happened a few years back.
Elora suspected that the Labbe family had learned their methods of seizing power from the Jensburg Farrell family.
“Those who commit evil will ultimately meet their demise. One day, all the malevolent acts that old pervert has committed will come to light.”
Mr. Labbe was similar to Clarissa. Many people discussed his actions, but no one could provide solid evidence to prove he was the murderer who annihilated an entire family.
Clarissa’s crimes occurred decades ago, making it hard to find proof.
Mr. Labbe’s actions took place more recently, so there remains a possibility of uncovering evidence.
It all depended on whether anyone was willing to step forward.
to pursue justice for those whose entire families have been lost.
“Tinsley, I don’t want to talk right now. I’ll be back after a few more days of work. Tatum brought me food,” Elora said.
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Tinsley teasing her from the other end of the line, “Why do I detect a hint of anticipation in your voice, sister?”
“Yes, I am looking forward to it,” Elora replied candidly.
She was eager for the meal Tatum would prepare for her that day, hoping he would create new dishes with fresh and unique flavors to satisfy her discerning palate.
“Don’t tease me,” Elora told Tinsley before ending the call.
As soon as she set her phone down, there was a knock at the door.
