Jonathan's words echoed in the room.
For a moment, Alexander thought he had heard wrong.
He looked at Jonathan, unable to react in time.
At this moment, Joshua was even more agitated.
He shouted at Jonathan, "Why should she be allowed to work in the company?’ What qualifications does she have?!"
To Joshua, the only person who was qualified to work at the Lawrence Enterprise was him.
"What qualifications do you have?!" Jonathan's face darkened.
"I'm the first grandchild of the first child, and only a man is qualified!" Joshua said matter-of-factly.
Jeanne suddenly smiled.
The Lawrences' preference for sons over daughters was deeply rooted in their hearts from generation to generation.
"I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about being the first grandchild of the first child," Jeanne said with some sarcasm.
"Women belong to other families! As a woman, you don't have the right to work at the company!" Joshua said righteously. He was especially proud of being the only son of this family.
Jonathan was furious. "Joshua, have your parents raised you this way all these years?!"
Joshua was stunned. He looked at Jonathan.
Jonathan's expression was extremely ugly. "So you think that just because you're the only son in the family, you can do whatever you want without striving for advancement? You think that the Lawrences will belong to you sooner or later, right?’"
"Grandpa." At this moment, Joshua seemed to have realized something was wrong.
Ever since he was young, he had always been pampered the most.
"That's why you don't strive for advancement. You just muddle along and wait for death!" Jonathan was merciless.
At this moment, Joshua was being scolded in a very embarrassing manner.
He had never been scolded like this before.
Jonathan did not care about Joshua's emotions at all. "There are no rules in this family where only men can enter the company to work. Also, there's no such thing as only a son can inherit the traditions of our family's enterprise. To me, I'll hand over the enterprise to whoever is more capable!"
"Grandpa..." Joshua was a little flustered.
"Enough!" Jonathan did not seem to want to waste any more time with Joshua. He turned his head toward Jeanne and said, "Since you said that you relied on your capability to enter MUK and rose all the way to the position of marketing director, then go to the company to work and prove yourself with facts!" "Sure." Jeanne agreed immediately.
This was the purpose of her return, to begin with.
She wanted to come back and reclaim the Lawrence Enterprise.
Of course, she was not grateful to Jonathan.
She knew he had supported her today just to squeeze her beneficial value from her. Once she was useless, she would end up the same as her mother.
Jeanne could see it, but Joshua could not understand it. He was still agitated.
Jenifer pulled him back.
At this moment, it was obvious that the old man was biased toward Jeanne. No matter how much they said, they would only be scolded more.
Jenifer had always been good at reading people's expressions.
Jonathan saw that Jeanne agreed immediately and instructed, "Everyone else can leave now. Alex, stay to discuss the specific matters regarding Jeanne going to work tomorrow."
Jeanne smiled slightly. "Okay."
Jenifer also agreed.
Joshua's face was filled with anger as he was forcefully dragged away by Jenifer.
In the room, Alexander's expression was not too good either.
Jonathan could tell, so his tone was a little gentler. "Are you not satisfied with my arrangement?" "Dad, you know very well that I don't like Jeanne,"
Alexander said very unhappily, "Not to mention I didn't have any feelings for her in the past because of her mother, she has been treating me lightly ever since she returned! Now, you're still letting her strut around in this house!"
"I have my considerations too," Jonathan said bluntly, "Think about it carefully. Back then, we let Jeanne return to form a marriage agreement with the Lockes, but in the end, the Lockes were forced to go bankrupt. Don't you think that it has something to do with her?"
Alexander was shocked.
He did not think so much.
"The Lockes went bankrupt because of MUK, and Jeanne has a close relationship with MUK!" Jonathan added.
