In the study, Alexander was so angry that he wanted to beat Joshua to death.
If Joshua was not his only son, he would definitely chase him out of the house and let him die outside!
"How do you want to resolve the matter with Joshua?" After Jonathan lost his temper, his tone softened slightly as he asked Jeanne.
Obviously, the truth was out. The truth was that Joshua had instigated Adrian to frame Jeanne.
Jeanne said, "I can let it go."
Alexander and Jenifer were a little surprised.
They did not think that Jeanne would let it go after being so wronged.
Jeanne was straightforward. "However, this matter has indeed had a great impact on me. If I hadn't found the evidence, I would be in jail right now! That said, for Grandpa's sake, I won't send Joshua to jail, but I have to get what I deserve."
"Go ahead." Jonathan agreed.
"First, I need Joshua to apologize to me," Jeanne enunciated each word.
"I'll make Joshua do it even if you don't bring that up."
"Second, I want Dad to apologize to me."
Jonathan glanced at Jeanne.
Alexander also looked at Jeanne fiercely.
"I'm very grateful that you stood up for me, Grandpa, but from the beginning to the end, I didn't feel any guilt from Dad. He even said that he wanted to kick me out of the family..." Jeanne chuckled.
"Your father misunderstood you, so of course, he should apologize."
Alexander gritted his teeth.
He was already in a sorry state.
Jeanne was going too far!
Despite that, he had no choice but to lower his head to Jeanne because of Joshua, his unfilial son.
"Thirdly, I need the Lawrence Enterprise's shares as compensation," Jeanne said clearly.
Jonathan's expression changed. "Jeanne, you know that this makes me feel that your motive is very strong."
He was also warning Jeanne not to go too far.
"I've never concealed my motives," Jeanne answered directly, "Seven years ago, I was chased out of the Lawrences by you guys, and my reputation was in tatters. Seven years later, I came back to clear my name!"
Jonathan looked at Jeanne coldly.
"I need honor, I need identity, and I need to be recognized by others. Having more of the enterprise's shares is the most direct and effective way to prove my existence in the family!"
Jonathan was silent.
It seemed like he was thinking.
Jeanne was calmly waiting for his answer.
In fact, before Joshua completely disappointed Jonathan, Jonathan would not let the only descendant of the Lawrences go to prison just like that. Once Joshua went to prison, his future would be ruined.
After about ten minutes, Jonathan asked, "How much do you want this time?"
"Not much; the same as last time." Jeanne smiled.
When she smiled, she looked very pretty.
Nevertheless, her smile seemed deadly to Alexander and Jenifer that became furious.
It was about shares again.
Jeanne must have come back to take over the Lawrences' business!
"Okay." Jonathan suddenly agreed.
He actually agreed.
Jeanne knew that it was easy to negotiate this time.
It was because the Lawrences had no choice.
They could either let Joshua go to jail, or they could choose to compromise with her.
Naturally, they would choose the latter.
"But one should take responsibility for one's actions. Joshua should be the one to bear the responsibility for his mistakes. I can't clean up the mess for everyone!" Alexander said fiercely.
Joshua lay on the ground, enduring the pain as he forced himself to get up. He said, "I don't have shares."
"It's the father's fault that his son is spoilt. You don't, but your father does!"
Alexander's face turned red. He could not help but say, "Dad, I only have 10% of the shares. What else will I have if I give them to Jeanne! You can't condone her like this!"
"I'm not condoning Jeanne. It's your son who's useless!
You can choose not to hand them over, but if you don't, I won't care about the matter of Joshua instigating others to commit a crime," Jonathan said coldly.
