Married At First Sight Chapter 4053
Chapter 4053
Timothy had never set foot in Wiltspoon, but his father had told him enough to form an opinion. Several major
families in Wiltspoon maintained close ties with the Johnson family in Annenburg, which was a problem. There
was a high chance that the child adopted by the eldest young lady of the Johnson family was Titus.
But without solid proof, Timothy couldn't confirm it. Titus's whereabouts were a mystery, even with the Labbe
family's vast information network. Whoever was protecting him had done an exceptional job. The families in
Wiltspoon were also helping to shield Titus, making it impossible to track him down. This alone fueled Timothy's
hatred for the powerful families in Wiltspoon. Though they were thousands of miles away, they had beca
major obstacle to his and his father's ambition of taking full control of the Labbe family. "You're absolutely right,
Dad. Annexing the Ormond family gives us another way out," Timothy said with conviction.

Mr. Labbe nodded, his expression serious. "Exactly. Now, it's up to you to make it happen. If you need my help,
just ask. This is your chance to sharpen your skills. Don't disappoint me." Timothy straightened, confidence
radiating from him. "Dad, you don't have to worry. I've never let you down, and | won't start now."
Mr. Labbe smiled. His eldest son had always been his pride a man who listened, obeyed, and worked tirelessly to
meet every expectation. It was why Mr. Labbe had placed so much trust in him.
Timothy decided to address another matter. "Dad, as for Carrie the woman in Wiltspoon- if she's not of much
use, why not cut her loose? She's a bit of a loose cannon. And honestly, Dad, you let her get pregnant?" Mr.
Labbe's reaction was calm. "Carrie still serves a purpose. She's useful for gathering intel.
We'll keep her around for now, even if it annoys her sister."
Timothy frowned but pressed on. "Dad, about her pregnancy="
"I handled it," Mr. Labbe interrupted. "She had an abortion long ago. And whenever | visit, | make sure she's on
medication to prevent another. There's no need for jealousy. I'm just having fun with women on the side."
The truth was, Carrie had long since lost her place in Mr. Labbe's favor. His attention had shifted to a new
woman, as it often did. Women cand went in his life as quickly as his expensive suits. The few mistresses
who had borne him children were still around, but they were little more than a formality-he kept them for the
sake of the kids, not because of any lingering affection.
Carrie, on the other hand, was a challenge. She was headstrong, defiant, and far from obedient. When given
even a little attention, she demanded more always more. She'd even dared to dream of replacing his wife.
"We don't fear the wealthy families in Wiltspoon," Mr. Labbe continued. "But we should avoid provoking the
Bucham family if we can. Let Carrie play the role of my spy-it savestrouble."
Talking about Carrie seemed to stir something in Mr. Labbe. On a whim, he thought about flying to Wiltspoon to
see her, if only to remind her of her place. She was, after all, just a pawn in his game-a tool he could use and
discard as he pleased.
Still, he knew he'd need to deliver a stern warning. Carrie needed to understand one thing: as long as he held
the reins, she was nothing more than his plaything.
"By the way, Dad," Timothy said, shifting topics, "about your current girlfriend... Mom doesn't like her. You might
want to think about letting her go if things go our way."
Timothy had met his father's latest mistress. She bore a striking resemblance to his father's first love. After some
digging, Timothy discovered that she wasn't the swoman but her younger sister. The revelation left him
uneasy.
Timothy had his own first love, a woman who still lingered in his heart despite the countless girlfriends he'd had
since. Seeing his father with a woman tied so closely to his own romantic history left him uncomfortable. Even
so, he didn't openly criticize his father. He couldn't.
Mr. Labbe's charm was legendary. He was generous, suave, and attentive-qualities that made him nearly
irresistible to women. Few could withstand his relentless pursuit, and those who gave in often did so willingly,
taking what they wanted while knowing it wouldn't last. Carrie, however, hadn't had a choice.
