Chapter 224 - Slap Alexander Hard in the Face
Pregnant With CEO's Baby
Jeanne still ignored Alexander.
She could imagine Alexanderâs anger. After so many years, other than Jonathan, no one in this family would dare to ignore him like this. No one would dare to challenge his bottom line like this.
Her indifference could really anger Alexander to death.
Alexander jumped up from the sofa and strode toward Jeanne.
Jenifer was also frightened by how Alexander was acting.
Nonetheless, when she thought of how this temper was directed at Jeanne, not only was she not afraid, but she was also gloating.
Jeanneâs face darkened.
She could feel Alexander approaching menacingly.
Without needing to think, she knew what he wanted to do!
Jeanne protected George behind her because she did not want him to be hurt.
She turned around and faced Alexander coldly.
She looked at him coldly as he walked over and raised his palm fiercely.
Jeanne suddenly stopped him.
Alexanderâs expression was extremely ugly.
His face was ferocious, but at this moment, he could not break free from Jeanneâs shackles.
âJeanne!â Alexander looked as if he wanted to kill her. âDo you think that this is a place where you can do whatever you want?!â
Jeanne grabbed Alexanderâs arm and fiercely pushed him a few steps back.
Alexander took a few steps back.
He was somewhat frightened by Jeanneâs strength.
The last time in his office, Jeanne had also flown into a rage once.
Alexander stared fiercely at Jeanne.
Jeanne said coldly, âItâs not a place for me to do whatever I want, but itâs also not a place for you to do whatever you want to me!â
âJeanne, believe it or not, Iâll kick you out immediately!â Alexander threatened.
Jeanne suddenly smiled.
She smiled contemptuously.
Alexander seemed to be embarrassed by Jeanneâs smile.
It was as if he was asking for humiliation.
He heard Jeanne say, âYou can try.â
âDonât threaten me here. Do you think that the Lawrences canât live without you? Donât you have just a little money? Youâre so self-righteous! Do you think that the Lawrences want that little money of yours?!â Alexander said through gritted teeth.
âSince you say so, Iâll pack up and leave.â Jeanne was calm and composed. At this moment, no emotions could be seen on her face. âDad, donât regret it.â
âYou canât threaten me!â
âIâm just reminding you that you canât take back what you said after this,â Jeanne said, âOf course, youâre the head of the family, so your decisions are the orders. With just a word from you, Iâll listen to whatever you say. Donât worry, Iâll leave immediately.â
As she said this, she even smiled.
She turned around and held Georgeâs hand. She said to George in a low voice, âGeorge, havenât you always wanted to leave? Now, Iâll satisfy your wish.â
As she said this, she planned to leave with George.
Alexander looked at Jeanneâs manner and saw that she did not seem to care at all. He was so angry that he was trembling.
Jeanne treated him lightly!
âWhatâs the big deal if she has a bit of money?!
âI donât care!
âI donât care about that bit of money. I wouldnât fawn over her because of that.
âNo matter how powerful she is, she canât do whatever she wants here.â
âWhat happened!â
All of a sudden, Jonathanâs stern voice rang out in the hall.
Jonathan was pushed out of the elevator by a servants
Alexander and Jeanne had just finished arguing, and Jeanne was about to go upstairs.
When Jeanne heard Jonathanâs voice, she stopped in her tracks and lowered her head to say something to George.
George obediently went upstairs on his own.
âYou canât be at peace anymore, can you?!â Jonathanâs angry voice was directed at Alexander as he lectured him fiercely, âYouâre so old, yet you donât know your limits. Our family has come to this point, Alexander. You have to take full responsibility!â
Alexander was suddenly scolded by Jonathan. He was extremely embarrassed.
Even so, he was still the head of the family. Although Jonathan was still in charge of the Lawrences, he was the face of the family. What would happen to his image if he was scolded like this In front of Jenifer and Jeanne?
Alexander said unwillingly, âWhatâs wrong with the development of the Lawrences? All these years, Iâve been working diligently, supporting the entire operation of the Lawrences...â
âShut up!â Jonathan did not listen to Alexanderâs explanation at all. âHow dare you say that youâve supported the Lawrences? If it wasnât for Jeanne coming back this time to take down the e-commerce collaboration with MUK, the Lawrences wouldâve been bankrupt sooner or later!â
Alexander was blushing red from Jonathanâs words.
âDonât think that you can do whatever you want. Donât make me revoke your management rights to the Lawrences!â
âDad!â Alexander was a little agitated.
âIn my opinion, Jeanne is stronger than you! Sheâs more suitable for your position!â Jonathan said mercilessly.
âDad, what do you mean?! You mean you want to hand the Lawrence Enterprise over to Jeanne!â Alexander looked at Jonathan in disbelief.
âIf you continue to be so ungrateful, itâs not impossible!â
âDad...â
âShut up!â Jonathan seemed to not want to hear another word from him.
Alexanderâs face was completely twisted, looking very hideous.
Jonathan did not care at all. He said to Jeanne, âJeannie, come to my room with me.â
âOkay.â Jeanne naturally had a lot of respect for Jonathan.
No matter what, the person in this family who could make Alexander lose face was Jonathan.
Jeanne walked toward Jonathan and took the initiative to push Jonathanâs wheelchair. Then, they went up the elevator.
Alexander was so mad that he fiercely kicked the flower pot in the living room.
The flower pot fell to the ground, and a violent sound suddenly rang out.
Jenifer was so scared that she did not dare to speak.
Alexanderâs anger was clear to see. If she were to approach him at this time, she would only be courting death.
Nevertheless, at this moment, she sensed a crisis after seeing Jonathan treating Alexander like that.
If this continued...
Would Jonathan really hand over the Lawrence Enterprise to Jeanne?
If that was the caseâ¦
âNo!
âI wonât let that happen!â Jenifer thought.
â¦
Jeanne followed Jonathan into his study.
Jonathan seemed to have been slightly affected after shouting a few times. At this moment, he was holding a cup of tea and quietly recuperating. He did not speak.
Jeanne did not take the initiative to speak either. She stood by the side obediently and waited for his instructions.
She was delighted that Jonathan was able to stand up for her and make Alexander look bad.
Despite that, Jonathan was probably not doing it for her.
He was only doing it for benefits.
Hence, Jeanne did not need to be moved.
She only needed to put on an act and act with him.
Jonathan finished his tea and slowly put it down. âYouâve indeed impressed me.â
âGrandpa, you flatter me.â
âWhere did the 53 billion dollars come from?â
âWould you believe me if I said I borrowed it?â Jeanne smiled.
âBorrowed it? From whom?â
âGrandpa, donât ask anymore.â Jeanneâs tone was gentle, but she rejected him directly.
Jonathan looked at Jeanne as if he was sizing her up.
Jeanne was calm and indifferent.
âAlright, youâre an adult anyway. You know what to do with your own matters.â
âYes.â Jeanne was respectful.
âThereâs nothing else. Go back to your room and rest.â
âGrandpa,â Jeanne took the initiative to call him, âI have something to tell you.â
Jonathan looked at her.
âGrandpa, donât you think thereâs something fishy about the logistics warehouse project of the Lawrence Enterprise?â
âWhy do you say that?â
âAdrian and Tenda are colluding well, and theyâre earning money by themselves. Why did they suddenly frame me?! Donât you think thereâs something fishy going on here?â Jeanne raised her eyebrow.
Jonathan frowned slightly.
âI wonât beat around the bush. The person who wanted to frame me was none other than Joshua!â
She said it in an affirmative tone.
At this moment, Jonathanâs expression changed drastically!
