Timothy continued, “Tinsley, the Labbe family is as powerful as the Ormonds—if not more so. As the eldest son of my family, why would I seek your family’s wealth? The Labbe family possesses such vast resources that money is the least of our concerns. In fact, you and I would be the perfect match. With our families’ combined strength, we would be unstoppable.”
Tinsley wanted to scoff at his assertion. While the Labbe family was indeed powerful, possibly even surpassing the Ormonds, Timothy was not in charge. In reality, even his father was not the true head of the family.
The genuine power and wealth of the Labbe family belonged to its actual leader.
Timothy and his father were merely caretakers, managing affairs on behalf of someone else.
Did they really believe that acting as intermediaries made them the rightful owners?
If the former head’s son returned to reclaim his position and take over the family assets,
Timothy and his father would be left with nothing. They would be reduced to salaried employees,
compensated for their years of service—but nothing more.
Without the Labbe family’s support, Timothy’s personal wealth wouldn’t even come close to matching that of the Ormonds.
Tinsley had already discussed this with Elora. The two sisters understood precisely what Mr. Labbe was after.
What man pursuing them ever admitted to insincerity?
Who would openly acknowledge their intentions to chase the Ormond fortune?
Given that the Labbe family was still under Mr. Labbe’s management and there were no direct business conflicts, Tinsley chose to keep her thoughts to herself.
Instead, she simply said, “Mr. Labbe, I am not interested in love at the moment, nor do I have time for it. Please don’t waste your energy on me. There are plenty of beautiful women in the world—go pursue someone else.”

Timothy could easily find another woman to pursue. He was handsome, though he paled in comparison to Elora’s private chef. Nevertheless, he was regarded as quite attractive by the general public. As the eldest son of the Labbe family, he was often seen driving luxury cars and surrounded by bodyguards, exuding an air of wealth and prestige. He didn’t even have to chase after women; numerous admirers would line up for a chance to be with him. However, anyone from an equally affluent family—those who understood the true nature of the Labbe family’s dynamics—would not be deceived by his status.

“Tinsley, I only like you. You’re the first woman I’ve ever truly desired.” His voice was filled with determination. “It’s okay if you don’t feel the same way now. In time, you’ll recognize who is genuine and who isn’t. One day, you’ll believe in my sincerity, and when that day comes, you’ll realize I won’t give up on you.”

Timothy then instructed his men to load the flowers back into the van, ensuring that Tinsley wouldn’t complain about them accumulating outside her office like a funeral arrangement. What was intended as a romantic gesture had turned into something entirely different.

Timothy couldn’t help but grumble internally. If it weren’t for the Ormond family’s influence—along with Tinsley’s stunning looks and perfect figure—he wouldn’t have tolerated this situation. He had promised his father that he could win over the Ormond family’s second daughter, no matter how challenging it might be. In a way, he genuinely had feelings for her.

The more difficult it was to attain something, the more determined he became. Like a thorny rose, the challenge only intensified his desire. One day, he would make Tinsley fall deeply in love with him, so much so that she would find it impossible to let him go.

With a smile, Timothy softened his tone. “Tinsley, I’m sorry…”

Regarding today, I wasn’t considering the consequences. I promise I won’t make this mistake again. Please don’t be upset, alright? Then, as if none of this had occurred, he nonchalantly suggested, “Let’s have dinner tonight. I’ll pick you up after work.”
