Ch. 5166: Married At First Sight Chapter 5166
Chapter 5166
The Ormond family was dominated by women. The two Ormond brothers, Alonzo and Angelo, were both still unmarried. Whether their marriages would change the family structure remained to be seen.
Elora was especially worried about Alonzo. He was already in his early thirties and didnât even have a girlfriend. Whenever pressured, he would calmly say he would think about marriage again at thirty-fiveâmuch to his sistersâ frustration.
After dinner, Belle was surrounded by everyone, all of them showing concern and affection.
At that moment, the butler approached Elora, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, âMiss, Mr. YoungâJohnson from Lonen Group has arrived.â
Elora smiled. âHeâs well-informed. Please invite him in.â
The butler replied, âMr. YoungâJohnsonâs car is already parked at the door. He has come inside.â
Landen YoungâJohnson was a frequent guest at the Ormond residence. The servants were very familiar with him and understood his close relationship with the family. Even though they had never seen his face, their respect for him was unwavering.
Soon, Landen appeared.
âUncle Tatum. Aunt Elora.â
As he entered, Landenâalso known as Titusâgreeted them with a smile, then greeted the Ormond elders one by one. Finally, his gaze settled on Belle, his eyes creasing with amusement.
âI even sent someone to wait at the airport,â Titus said with a laugh. âBut I couldnât find Belle. Caleb beat me to it.â
Belle immediately nudged Caleb aside to make room.
âBrother Titus, come sit here.â She patted the seat next to her.
Caleb muttered under his breath, âWith him here, even Iâas the older brotherâhave to step aside.â
He wasnât really complaining, just grumbling out of habit.
In truth, even if Belle hadnât said anything, he would have given up his seat anyway. Titus was everyoneâs idolâan older brother figure they had known since childhood, someone who always looked after them.
Titus didnât stand on ceremony. He walked straight over, sat beside Belle, and handed her the gift he had brought.
âLong time no see,â he said. âI prepared something for you. I hope you like it.â
Belle glanced at the box and immediately guessed it was jewelry. She smiled helplessly. âBrother Titus, you always give the same kind of gift. That wonât do. If you give the same thing to every girl you like, how are you supposed to win her over?â
Titus laughed. âI honestly donât know what else to give. I gave your sister Avah the same thing.â
Titus was already over thirty-one. At his age, he was considered an older bachelor, and pressure to marry was unavoidable.
But he wasnât in a hurry.
He wouldnât consider marriage until his long-standing vendetta was settled. He was also wary of dragging an innocent woman into his troubles.
On top of that, his standards were high. Ordinary heiresses didnât interest himâespecially since he had an exceptionally outstanding younger sister.
Avah, the new president of FC & Co., had been composed and steady since childhood. Even when her brothers displayed remarkable talent, none could surpass her.
With Avah around, her brothers inevitably paled in comparison.
Ben and Jane were reluctant to see their only daughter shoulder such heavy responsibilities, but Avah loved business and commanded the respect of the companyâs veterans. Unable to dissuade her, they could only let her take over FC & Co., officially becoming its new president.
