When the Old Mr. Lawrence saw Jo, he was also excited and walked up to Jo, sizing him up, "What did your mom tell you?"
Jo looked at the Old Mr. Lawrence and replied, "My mom told me to come home and reunite with you all, but..." Jo paused for a moment and then continued, "But you have to give her fifty million dollars first. It's the cost of raising me all these years. Otherwise, I won't stay here."
Jo sounded like a little adult, setting conditions with the Old Mr. Lawrence and Dylan.
Perhaps Lisa had really grasped the Old Mr. Lawrence and Dylan's thoughts, which was why Jo said such words.
Fifty million dollars was not a huge sum for the Lawrence family, but they hesitated to give it.
Especially since Lisa had no credibility in their eyes.
If they gave her fifty million now, what if she came back later asking for several more million? This could go on forever.
"Where is your mother?" The Old Mr. Lawrence asked Jo.
Jo replied, "She's right outside. She said if you don't agree within half an hour, she'll call the police and accuse you of kidnapping a minor."
Upon hearing this, the Old Mr. Lawrence's face darkened, and he turned to Zane, "Zane, bring her in!"
Zane frowned slightly at the Old Mr. Lawrence's request but got up and walked to the door.
At this moment, Sophia brought the Old Mrs. Lawrence out of the room.
Earlier during breakfast, the Old Mr. Lawrence had already briefed the Old Mrs. Lawrence about Lisa's situation.
Although the Old Mrs. Lawrence seemed calm on the surface, the Old Mr. Lawrence knew she must be angry inside.
The Old Mrs. Lawrence walked up to Jo, looked him up and down, and said, "He does look like you."
As for whom Jo resembled, the Old Mrs. Lawrence didn't explicitly say.
She then turned to Yanis and asked in a soft voice, "Yanis, are you not busy today?"
Yanis responded, "Not too busy."
The Old Mrs. Lawrence nodded, "Then go back with Zane later. It's best to hear less about these troublesome matters."
Yanis didn't argue and simply nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Zane went outside and saw a red car parked on the side.
Before Zane could approach, Lisa got out of the car and walked up to him, calling, "Zane."
Zane halted his steps upon seeing Lisa coming towards him.
Lisa reached out to pull him, but Zane evaded her touch, calmly asking, "Why do you want five million dollars?"
