Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 550

After finishing his thought, he added one final line.

"We all need to move forward."

The conference room was suffocatingly quiet.

That final sentence was more nauseating than everything else combined.

The ones who took the blood money preach about moving forward.

The ones who buried the evidence preach about moving forward.

Wren placed her phone flat on the desk.

Phoebe's eyes were red with fury.

Mr. Lawson's video call rang right on cue.

Wren answered.

Mr. Lawson had clearly watched the interview; his tone was freezing cold.

"Quentin's statement dodged every bullet perfectly. He didn't outright deny the existence of the first page of the finalized document, nor did he claim Vivian never objected. He simply reduced her opposition to emotional instability and cognitive misunderstanding."

"Can we sue him?" Wren asked.

"We can send a cease-and-desist, but securing hard evidence is more critical right now," Mr. Lawson explained. "He's trying to provoke an emotional response from you. The second you lash out publicly, he gets to keep playing the victimized father whose tragic past is being torn open by his ungrateful daughter."

Phoebe gritted her teeth.

"Does he even deserve to be called a father?"

"He doesn't, but that won't stop him from acting like one," Mr. Lawson noted.

She remained silent for a few seconds.

"We won't engage in a public screaming match."

Phoebe looked at her.

Wren said, "He claims my mother didn't understand reality, so we'll shove reality down his throat."
