Tatum remarked, “Mr. Labbe approached you because he clearly wants to collaborate with your company.”
However, he is merely the acting head of the Labbe family and not the ultimate decision-maker. If the actual leader returns, all of his efforts will merely serve someone else’s interests. He is all too aware of this. Just look at what happened to the head of the Farrell family in Jensburg; it must have served as a wake-up call for him. He wants to avoid a similar fate.
This is why the business proposal he is putting forward must be his personal endeavor, cleverly disguised under the Labbe family name. After all, the Labbe family holds significant influence in Province X.”
Financially, the Ormond and Labbe families may be comparable, but the Labbe family’s influence in Province X far exceeds that of the Ormonds, especially considering the smaller size of the Ormond family.
Elora replied, her voice tinged with skepticism. “He’s exceptionally ambitious. While this collaboration is still in its nascent stages, he will inevitably seek ways to undermine us and attempt to take over the Ormond family’s business. Furthermore, he is infamous for his lecherous behavior. He has ruined countless lives—some women have even lost their lives because of him.”
“When he grows tired of someone, he has his wife handle the repercussions—punishing mistresses and pressuring women who wish to keep their babies into having abortions. His scandals have long been the subject of gossip in Province X. Those seeking favors from him know the drill: send a beautiful woman his way, and he will grant their requests without hesitation.”
Tatum paused momentarily before stating, “Men with wealth and power often fall into two traps: gambling or women. How many can genuinely remain faithful and loyal to their families?”
“The men of the York family…
are indeed different. They are highly admired, and their family values are deeply respected. Supported by other influential families, the York family has become a symbol of honor. It’s no surprise that families with eligible daughters aspire to marry into the York family.”
Tatum’s tone shifted to a serious one. “Miss, your sisters are all young and beautiful. I fear they may become targets.”
Elora narrowed her eyes as she turned to him. After a lengthy pause, she asked, “Mr. Labbe has only visited a few times. How can you be so certain of his ambitions?”
Tatum responded, “I’ve been aware of Mr. Labbe for some time. While we are not close, his reputation speaks for itself. His appetite for women is well-known—he changes mistresses as frequently as he changes clothes. You mentioned it yourself; everyone in Province X is aware of this.”
“Last year, he made several trips to Wiltspoon and had indirect dealings with the York family. Let’s just say those interactions were not exactly positive. That’s how I came to learn more about him.”
Tatum refrained from mentioning Titus.
Although Elora was his fiancée and someone he trusted, it was best that fewer people knew about Titus. If she were to encounter Titus in the future, she would discover everything on her own. For now, it was wiser to leave that chapter closed.
Titus, after all, lived a reclusive life with the family’s elders. He rarely visited Wiltspoon, let alone ventured to Annenburg in Province X, making it unlikely for Elora to meet him.
The less she knew, the less the Ormond family would become entangled in matters involving Titus.
The Ormond family resided just 200 kilometers away from the Labbe family. With someone as ruthless as Mr. Labbe targeting them, it wouldn’t take much for their family to fall victim to his schemes.
She trusted her instincts. Rosie once remarked that the York family was akin to local royalty in Wiltspoon, possessing a keen awareness of their surroundings and an extensive network of connections. The Bucham family, recognized for their exceptional intelligence network, maintained a close alliance with the Yorks, which made them a formidable source of information.
