"Exactly. Mr. Lawson Senior didn't even have his dinner today. It was only after Beautiful Ms. Lawson and I brought him some milk that he drank a little," Yasmine said with her mouth close to the microphone.
Angeline's grip on her phone tightened as she felt uneasy. She said to Yasmine and Xavier, "You two must be especially good in the next few days. Please don't upset Mr. Lawson Senior, okay?"
"Don't worry, Mommy. I'm always good!" Yasmine assured her.
"Alright, you two should get some rest early. Be good!"
After ending the video call with Yasmine and Xavier, Angeline looked at Sean, who was still on the phone, and bit her lip.
After a while, Sean looked at Angeline after feeling her gaze. He said a few words to the person on the other end of the line and then hung up.
"What's the matter?" Sean closed the sliding door behind him.
"Did you talk to Mr. Lawson Senior today about leaving the Lawson family?" Angeline asked.
Sean sat down behind Angeline with his elbows on his knees and leaned in to say, "This had to be discussed sooner or later, but I haven't mentioned our situation yet. Don't worry."
"Mr. Lawson Senior is very angry."
"Mm," he responded. "After Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet, I'll announce my separation from the Lawson family and departure from Lawson Global."
Angeline turned to face Sean. Their eyes met, and her mind was in turmoil.
"So, are you leaving Krontos?" Angeline asked, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
