I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658: Mr. Johnson, please go back

Yanis hadn't had a chance to ask about Anna yet. After Anika's accident, she and Zane rushed to the hospital together. Jefferson Marshall, Iris's assistant, should have been handling things since then.
"Don't worry about this. The police and Iris will take care of it," Yanis said.
In reality, Yanis knew that even if Iris didn't handle it, Zane wouldn't let it go.
Anika wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yanis. "You need to rest now. Iris and your brother will take care of everything. Your top priority is taking care of yourself."
"Okay," Anika replied.
...
Yanis guessed correctly that while Iris was dealing with Anna's situation on her end, Zane wasn't idle either.
The Johnson family didn't come from a wealthy background; both Anna's father and current family were just ordinary people until they slowly made their way up in the real estate industry over the past few years.
Combined with the good relationship between Old Mr. Johnson and Old Mr. Duncan in the past as well as occasional support from the Duncan family, they had achieved their current status in Manches City.
Although they were well-known in Manches City, if Zane wanted to make a move against them, it would be easy for him since he had previously taken down Griffiths family with ease.
The Johnson family was even easier than Griffiths' because almost overnight their stocks plummeted along with several real estate contracts being terminated due to their association with them falling apart rapidly.
Mr. Johnson arrived at the hospital early carrying many items.
Yanis slept soundly next to Anika when he heard noises outside her room door.
He opened his eyes briefly before getting up quietly not wanting to disturb her sleep before walking towards where he heard commotion coming from outside her room door which stopped abruptly upon opening itThe on-duty nurse saw Yanis come out and apologized to him, "Miss Thompson, this gentleman says he wants to see Miss Lawrence."
Yanis glanced at Mr. Johnson standing beside him and immediately guessed his identity.
"You can go back to your duties," Yanis said softly to the nurse.
The nurse nodded and left.
It was normal for someone to visit a patient in the hospital, but there were instructions from above that Miss Lawrence in this ward needed special care and should not be disturbed as much as possible. That's why the nurse stopped the visitor who came so early.
After the nurse left, Yanis looked at Mr. Johnson standing at the door with his bags. "Mr. Johnson, right?"
Mr. Johnson resembled Anna a bit, which is why Yanis recognized him immediately.
"Mrs. Lawrence, hello, I'm Anna's father," Mr. Johnson introduced himself first.
Yanis nodded her head and said: "I know."
"Well then," Mr. Johnson continued: "I came today because I wanted to see Miss Lawrence after what Anna did yesterday was too much; it was our fault for not teaching her well enough."
His intention was clear - he wanted to see Anika.
Regardless of whether Anika had woken up or not yet, Yanis didn't plan on letting Mr. Johnson meet with her anyway .
She spoke directly: "Mr. Johnson, Anika hasn't woken up yet, so you may not be able to say anything if you want to talk with her because of what happened with Anna. If you're here trying make amends for what happened by asking Anika not hold grudges against your daughter , that's impossible, and besides, the police will handle this matter properly. So please leave now."
Mr. Johnson didn't expect that he would be turned away so early in morning .
But considering The situation of both The Johnson family now , and also considering how Anna is still detained inside , it wasn't something that he could just let go easily .
"Mrs. Lawrence, you see, I came here early in morning. I really want apologize sincerely on behalf of my daughter. I just want speak few words with Miss Lawrence." He looked at Yanis hopefully while saying these words .
However, Yanis remained firm:"Please leave now, Mrs. Lawrence. There's no use even if you meet Anika."Mr. Johnson was clearly losing his patience, but he had to swallow his anger. "Mrs. Lawrence, the victim is Miss Lawrence, not you. It's not appropriate for you to stop me, is it?" Mr. Johnson's tone was slightly annoyed.
"She's my family, the Lawrences. She has every right to stop you," replied Mrs. Lawrence firmly.
Just as Mr. Johnson finished speaking, a cold and low voice came from behind him.
Yanis looked up when he heard the voice and saw Zane standing next to him."You're here so early," Yanis said with surprise.
Zane stepped forward and faced Mr. Johnson."My wife has already made it clear that you should leave now."
"Mr. Lawrence," Mr. Johnson softened his tone upon seeing Zane."I came here today to apologize on behalf of Anna and the Johnson family for what happened yesterday. I know we were wrong, and we will accept whatever punishment comes our way. But can't we ask for your mercy?"
Zane looked at him calmly."Anika is still in hospital. If Iris hadn't saved her yesterday, she would be lying in a morgue now. Do you think I'm generous enough to let someone who tried to harm my family go free?"
Mr. Johnson fell silent.
"Albi."
Albi stepped forward at Zane's call."Yes, Mister?"
"Escort Mr. Johnson out."
Albi nodded and turned towards Mr. Johnson."Please follow me, Mister."
Mr. Johnson wanted to say something more, but Albi stopped him with a warning look."If security gets involved, it won't look good for anyone. Please leave now, Mister."
Knowing there was no point in arguing any further, Mr. Johnson reluctantly left, his belongings left behind at the door.
As soon as they were alone, Zane took Yanis into Anika's room, closing the door behind them. Albi stayed outside, making sure no one disturbed them while they talked about what had just happened downstairs.
Meanwhile, Iris entered the hospital lobby only to bump into Mr. Johnson coming out of an elevator. She paused briefly, frowning slightly before continuing on her way inside, the encounter leaving her feeling uneasy. When Mr. Johnson saw Iris, he visibly paused for a moment. Remembering her attitude from the day before, his expression didn't look too pleased.
However, when he saw the Old Mr. Duncan with her, a small smile appeared on his face. "The Old Mr. Duncan," he said in greeting.
