Chapter 619
A man stepped out of one of the luxury cars, treading on marble steps. He was followed by a few suited
bodyguards carrying briefcases, and entered the courtyard.
Walking through the winding corridor, and passing round archways and corner stone statues Through
the lavish entrance hall across the cloister, and straight into the living room.
The living room was all glitz and glamour. The wooden tables, chairs, sofas, and countless decorations
of various shapes and colors highlighted luxury
The elder members of the Laurence family were already seated all over the living room, fervently
discussing the purpose of this meeting
1 bet hes pissed that we didn’t show up to his proposal ceremony
“That Ms Shultz, is she even worth our time?”
Exactly, a woman who can’t even compare to us in status, is not even worthy enough to polish my
shoes, why should we go?”
“Right, even if he’s the family’s head, we don’t have to bend over backwards for him Not just the
proposal ceremony, we won’t go to the wedding!”
Yeah, we wont go to the wedding either, let’s see what he can do to us…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtApart from these elders, the younger generation of the Laurence family was also present. Upon hearing
these discussions, their faces turned grim. They all remained silent. Only the youngest, Sigrid, looked
quite discontent and scoffed
“You guys think he cares whether you attend or not? If he didn’t want to show complete sincerity to
Eleanor, you probably wouldn’t even have received an invitation. You say you won’t even go to his
wedding, have the guts to say it to his face. Let’s see if he would invite you”
Being accused by the younger generation, made the uncles uncomfortable and they started pointing
fingers at Sigrid’s parents
Look at this, this is the excellent student you’ve raised. Doesn’t even have basic manners, and you
dare call her an excellent student)”
1think either she’s become stupid from studying abroad, or she’s been corrupted by Chase”
Im sure its Chase who corrupted her, that’s why she doesn’t show respect to her elders.”
“If she respected her elders, she wouldn’t have let Cedric take her to the hospital for an abortion….”
“Abortion? Whose child?”
“Who else, Chases child of course!”
Upon hearing these words, Sigrid’s face turned as cold as ice. She was unable to utter a word.
Veronica, heard the conversation becoming increasingly inappropriate, picked up her phone and
slammed it on the table She was about to blow up, when a group of people walked in through the door.
The moment Bernard appeared in the living room with his bodyguards, all discussions ceased. The
room was so quiet that it was as if there was no one there. The man who walked in from the outside
didn’t even glance around He walked directly towards the head of the room with a cold expression
Blake, leaning on his cane, was sitting at the head. His face turned to an ugly grimace as he saw
Bernard enter. But he invited him to sit down.
Bernard gave the old man a cold look. He didn’t greet him, and sat down next to him. The man leaned
back on the single leather sofa, his long legs spread out lazily under his suit pants. His posture and
demeanor were like a king’s
He relaxed casually One hand supported his chin. He lifted his icy eyes, and looked at the relatives
sitting below one by one.
What were you just discussing? Say it again, let me hear it.”
Those who had been accusing Sigrid fell silent immediately, not daring to speak. They all lowered their
heads, disappearing into the crowd.
“I gave you a chance to refute Since you all choose to stay silent, then listen to me!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man sitting at the head, slightly tilted his head, revealing a face of clear contours under the dim
light.
Those who slandered my wife and blamed my sister, don’t have to come to work at the Laurence
Group anymore. As for the shares…”
Bernard paused, his cold gaze landing on the third oldest, “Kendrick, you handle the cash out.”
Kendrick Laurence, received his older brothers order and nodded immediately. “Alright, It arrange it
right away”
Kendrick, who was efficient in doing things, quickly left the living room to make arrangements Seeing
that Bernard was serious, the Laurence family’s relatives couldn’t sit still anymore, they all objected
“Why should we cash out? We don’t want to. We want to stay and have shares in the Laurence Group”
Their shares might not be much, but the dividends were not small. With those little shares, they could
live for several generations
“On what grounds?”
Bernard scoffed With his scarred hand, he flicked the snowflakes off his sleeve, and slowly began.
“Since the establishment of the Laurence Group, you’ve not contributed anything You just rely on the
family name, you’ve got a quota of shares. You sit quietly and enjoy the benefits, I could turn a blind
eye, but what have you done behind my back? Accepting bribes, manipulating the stock market, selling
projects, one after another. All are destroying the Laurence Group, why should I keep you?*
