Chapter 3773
Qaxun Group, located in Annenburg, Province X, is one of the companies owned by the Ormond family, which has numerous subsidiaries across various industries. Currently, the Qaxun Group is managed by the eldest and second daughters of the Ormond family.
The Ormond family has operated in Annenburg for several generations, amassing the wealth and status they enjoy today. When Elora first assumed leadership of the company, she faced significant challenges, leading to a temporary crisis. Many anticipated the failure and bankruptcy of the Ormond family’s businesses, expecting them to end up in substantial debt, and had little faith in the Elora sisters.
However, the Ormond family not only survived but has become more prosperous than ever. With Elora and Tinsley as the current leaders, the sisters are among the youngest business executives in the region. Elora turned 27 after the New Year, while Tinsley is slightly younger. The third and fourth daughters of the family, who are of similar ages, also work within the family business, though they are not as well-known as their older sisters. In Annenburg, the eldest and second daughters of the Ormond family are widely recognized, while the third and fourth daughters remain relatively obscure.
The family possesses substantial wealth, and their young and attractive matriarch draws considerable attention. Among those observing them closely is the acting head of the Labbe family from a neighboring city. Mr. Labbe has visited the Qaxun Group several times, seeking a meeting with Elora, but the front desk staff have instructed him to schedule an appointment. Despite having seized power, Mr. Labbe has not fully controlled the Labbe family or officially established himself as its leader, as he lacks the family’s totem and token of authority.
He is the acting head, capable of taking what he wants within the family, yet he still lacks ultimate authority. In contrast to the Farrell family in Jensburg, the Labbe family is significantly stronger. The Farrell family changed leadership once, but control eventually returned decades later to the descendants of the original head. This situation made Mr. Labbe anxious. He did not want to end up like Clarissa, who labored for decades only to enable the original bloodline’s return. He had invested considerable effort since his grandfather’s generation, scheming and planning, and finally achieved success in his own generation. However, he never discovered the family totem and token. Without them, he could not command the loyalty of the family elites or motivate them to work for him. The true heir, currently only three or four years old, could potentially reclaim his position around the age of 30, much like Audrey in Wiltspoon, who returned to Jensburg with her children and niece to reclaim her family’s legacy. Mr. Labbe felt akin to Clarissa, which was his greatest fear. He never ceased searching for the little boy who escaped with the totem and token. If he remembered correctly, the boy’s name was Titus Labbe. He and Titus’s father belonged to the same generation, and according to family rules, he was Titus’s uncle as he was the oldest in their generation. While sending people to locate Titus, he continued to forge alliances with wealthy families.
He hoped that if Titus ever returned, he would possess enough power to compel him to personally hand over the totem and token. This way, he could claim his rightful position as the head of the Labbe family. He envisioned a future where the Labbe legacy would be passed down to his own children and grandchildren, ensuring they would never have to submit to the original lineage again. Naturally, he had no intention of allowing Titus to live; once he obtained what he desired, he planned to eliminate Titus.
