Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 38

In the somewhat tense room.

Jonathan said slowly, "Remember that you're a Lawrence."

This seemed to be a compromise for the shares.

Jeanne curled the corners of her lips. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Grandpa..." Joshua, who had been silent all this while, could not hold it in any longer.

"Joshua!" Alexander called out to him.

Joshua looked at his father and held it in.

Jonathan did not need to explain to anyone. He waved his hand and said, "All of you, go out. I'm tired."

"Yes," Alexander said respectfully.

Then, he made the others leave.

Everyone walked out of the study.

Jeanne walked in front.

"Jeanne," Alexander called out to her.

Jeanne turned around. "Yes?"

"You'd better behave yourself!" Alexander threatened.

Jeanne smiled and said, "Okay."

Although she agreed right away, she was half-hearted.

Without giving anyone any face, she left after that.

Alexander clearly had some emotions.

Jenifer whispered beside him, "Jeannie is still so

disrespectful to her elders after all these years..."

Alexander turned his head and glared fiercely at her.

Jenifer immediately shut up.

Alexander said, "It's time to go to work."

As he said that, he strode away.

Jenifer signaled Joshua to follow.

In the corridor of the Lawrence family's residence, only Jenifer and Jasmine were left.

Jasmine was driven mad.

She was about to speak when Jenifer called out to her, "Let's talk in your room."

The two of them returned to Jasmine's room.

Jasmine could not hold it in any longer. She could not take it anymore and shouted, "What's so great about Jeanne? What right does she have to be so arrogant in front of Grandpa and Dad? What right does she have to be so fierce to me?!"

She was so angry that her eyes were red.

Jenifer was also fuming at that moment. She said, "We can't underestimate this woman."

"What's so great about her?’ It's just that she was lucky and that the Lockes happen to be going bankrupt.

Otherwise, she would've been beaten to death!" Jasmine said fiercely as if she did not care about Jeanne at all.

"It won't be that simple," Jenifer said.

"Anyway, Dad doesn't like her. Seven years ago, Dad was able to hit her so hard and even chased her out of the house. What can she do now?!"

"It's true that your dad doesn't like Jeanne, but it's not her problem. It's her mother," Jenifer said suddenly.

"What?" Jasmine did not know much about what happened to the previous generation.

Jeanne was speechless.

Monica asked, "Did you see the news? Something big has happened to the Lockes."

"I saw it." Jeanne appeared very calm.

"Serves them right!" Monica cursed angrily. "The Lockes raised such a son and have such a disgusting mother. They should've been punished long ago!"

Jeanne did not reply.

In any case, it was fine as long as Monica was happy.

"Speaking of which, Jeannie..." The person on the other end wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jeanne frowned. She could instantly feel that something was wrong with Monica today. She asked, "What happened?"

Monica was silent for two seconds before her tone returned to normal. "Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that the Lockes are finished."

"Did you quarrel with Finn?" Jeanne asked bluntly.

"What are you thinking about?!" Monica was being a little exaggerated. "Why would I quarrel with him? We don't even speak much in a day."

"If you have something on your mind, tell me." Jeanne was very serious.

"No, no, no. Alright, I'm going to hang up. My dad asked me to accompany him to the hospital for a routine check-up."

Suddenly, Monica hung up the phone.

The moment she hung up, she stared at her phone screen.

She swiped with her fingers and opened a message. [Monica, I'm back.] It was a message from Micheal.

"Monica, what are you standing there for? Get in the car. We're going to the hospital now." Monica's father, Gary Cardellini, urged.

Monica gritted her teeth and deleted the text message.

The past... was in the past.
