I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358: Do You Deserve To Be Part Of Lawrence Family?

Albi replied truthfully, "Almost. We're in short of something now. I've gotten someone to look for that and maybe we need some money to buy it, or it's difficult to get the original."
"No matter how much money it costs, buy the original!"
"I see."
After a few instructions, Zane hung up.
But the phone rang again.
When he saw the caller ID, Zane frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before answering the phone. "Dad."
"Is there anything to do with you about Lucia's matters?" Miller asked seriously.
"You mean that you want to defend her?"
Miller said lightly, "Nope. After she was caught, Finley scuttled our project immediately. So I want to know if it's because of you."
"Don't worry." Zane's voice was a little cold.
Miller was silent for a few seconds on the other side of the phone before asking, "Is everything all right?"
Miller asked tactfully.
Zane was silent for a few seconds and casually replied, "There's nothing wrong. Please tell Grandma we can't come back today and we'll be back tomorrow."
Miller didn't ask anymore. He just told Zane to take good care of Yanis.
Zane responded and hung up.
…
Meanwhile, in Manches City, in the Lawrence's Manson.
In the huge living room, Miller, Edison, Catherine, Dylan and Rachel were all there.
The atmosphere in the living room was obviously a little depressing.
Miller put the phone in his hand aside and looked at Dylan. "Zane will be back tomorrow."
Dylan looked at Miller. "Now that Zane is not a member of the Lawrence family, he should hand over what belongs to the Lawrence family, right?"
Miller frowned. "Well, I say he's a member of the Lawrence family, so he is."
"Miller, he has no blood relationship with you."
Dylan's voice instantly raised a lot. "You've been incompetent all these years and tricked by a woman. Your daughter was not biologically yours, and now even your son isn't either. You are so pathetic!"
Dylan's words was a bit impetuous and aggravating.
That done, Edison scolded, "Mind your words."
Dylan turned to look at Edison. "Dad, do you think he's more suitable than me to take over the Lawrence Group?"
Edison glanced at Dylan calmly. "Well, you think you're capable? What's the situation of your company right now, do you know that?"
"Dad, you're biased." Rachel spoke for her husband. "You gave us only a small amount of start-up capital, how can you expect us to do some great business? Everything is about money now."
Speaking of that, Rachel's glanced at Anika next to Catherine unconsciously. " But Miller's so awkward now. His daughter and son are both not biological. And he put the Lawrence family to… to an outsider. Don't you worry that he would bite the hand that fed him and take everything as his own?"
At this time, Catherine who had been silent said, "Well, in your view, who can be the manager of the Lawrence Group?"
Dylan smiled. "Mom, now only Phoebe is a real member of the Lawrence family. It must be our own people to manage the company."
Listening to Dylan, Catherine glanced at Phoebe and then turned to look at Sophia who was standing on the side. "Sophia, please go to my room and take the document down."
Sophia answered and turned to go upstairs.
After Sophia left, Catherine looked at Phoebe. "I heard that you planned to set up a company recently?"
Phoebe has planned to set up a studio for design recently.
So when hearing her question, she nodded truthfully. "Grandma, I did have the plan."
"Do you have a partner or set up on your own?"
Phoebe hesitated. "I have a partner."
Catherine didn't speak after Phoebe's words.
When Sophia came down, Catherine handed the document to Phoebe. "Have a look."
Phoebe looked at it, but didn't dare to reach out. Instead, she looked at Catherine and asked, "Grandma, what's this?"
Catherine put the document on the table and pushed it in Phoebe's direction. "Have a look. We can talk after your reading."
That done, Rachel first reached out and took the document on the table. She asked while opening it, "Mom, what's this…"
Before her words finished, Rachel's expression changed.
"Mom, you…"
Phoebe leaned to have a look and her expression also changed.
Rachel quickly stuffed the things back in and looked at Catherine. "Mom, how did you get these things?"
Catherine glanced at Rachel and then looked at Phoebe. "What do you want to say?"
Phoebe opened her mouth but she didn't know how to defend herself.
"Grandma, it…it's not me."
"It's not you in the picture? Is there anyone in Manches City looking exactly like you? If you want to set up a studio, I can ask your uncle to do you a favor. But you actually did such things, you don't deserve to be a member of the Lawrence family."
Listening to her, Phoebe was a bit impetuous. "Does Zane deserve to be a member of the Lawrence family?"
As she said, Phoebe pointed at Anika. "Does the psycho deserve to be a member of the Lawrence family?"
As soon as she finished her words, Catherine got up and slapped Phoebe's face.
The loud voice made the atmosphere more depressing.
No one expected that Catherine would slap her.
Phoebe looked stunned and looked at Catherine. "Why did you slap me? What's wrong with my words? Zane was just a bastard, so she was! she was a psycho! Do they deserve to be members of the Lawrence family? Do you forget that?"
Phoebe's words was a bit egregious, which made Edison look cold. "Shut up!"
Only then did Rachel came to her mind, she pulled Phoebe and said in a cold voice, "Now only Phoebe is the only child of Lawrence family. You're in your late years and can't tell right and wrong sometimes. Don't hold the candle to the devil."
She almost directly said Zane.
Catherine pointed to the documents on the table. "I'd rather give everything in the Lawrence family to outsiders than give you who are ungrateful."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Are you really going to let the bastard Zane take over everything?" Dylan looked at Catherine unbelievably.
