Jeanne sat in her office chair and took a break.
She sipped her coffee and made a phone call.
“It’s rare for you to call so frequently. Are you in trouble?” Kingsley Thorn’s voice was light and cheerful as always.
It should be midnight for Kingsley due to the ti difference, but no matter when she called him, he always seed to be available.
Sotis, she wonders if he doesn’t sleep.
She said, “Help investigate a person called Caron Hall. He’s the boss of Ascension Technology. Find out if he’s related to Eden Swan. There’s no need to go in-depth. I want an answer within half an hour.”
“Did that bastard Eden Swan cause you trouble?” Kingsley gnashed his teeth.
“Nothing I can’t manage.”
“That bastard will suffer retribution sooner or later!”
“In due ti.” Jeanne Lawrence said.
“Wait for my reply. I’ll find out if Caron Hall and Eden Swan are related.”
“Thanks.”
As Jeanne Lawrence hung up, the phone rang again.
Jeanne Lawrence looked at the caller ID and answered, “Dad.”
“I told you to co to my office the mont you ca back. What are you doing?!” Alexander Lawrence’s furious voice ca from the other end.
Jeanne Lawrence remained unmoved. “I have so matters on hand. I’ll co once I’m done.”
“Jeanne Lawrence! Do you know that in the workplace, you have to obey the orders of your superiors?”
Jeanne sneered.
She finally knew about the so-called workplace mistreatnt often talked about in Harken. It was these so-called leaders who had a strong sense of superiority. They thought themselves superior to others and were the only ones who mattered in the company. They acted like kings of olden days and that everyone had to obey their orders. To do otherwise would be treason!
She said, “I’ll co up to you when I’m done.”
And Jeanne hung up.
Alexander Lawrence held his phone, fuming.
At this mont, Joshua Lawrence was in Alexander’s office. He took the opportunity to sow discord. “Dad, I can’t believe my sister doesn’t respect you!”
Alexander suppressed his anger.
“She took the liberty to change our investnt amount today. Even if it was a favorable outco, it was still sothing she acted on her own. She didn’t even inform you, nor has she taken the initiative to explain to you… Dad, don’t you think that’s too much? Does she think she owns Lawrence Enterprise and that she can do whatever she wants? She must think highly of herself!”
“Enough!” Alexander snapped at Joshua. “Cut the crap. You’re one to speak!”
Joshua was embarrassed by Alexander’s sudden outburst.
He said, “Dad, I’m only 23 years old. It’s only been a year since I graduated from university. Most of my peers are still fooling around. How can you say that?”
“And? Jeanne’s only 25 years old. Why didn’t you ntion that? Eden Swan’s only 25 years old, yet he’s in-charge of the Swanhaven Bank. Why don’t you think about how Edward Swan, who’s only 23 years old, is in-charge of the Swan family matters? You’re 23 years old. Aside from playing gas and pretending to work in the company, what else can you do?” Alexander directed his anger at Joshua.
Joshua was not pleased to be scolded.
He could not help but say, “I take after you…”
“Joshua Lawrence!” Alexander was even angrier now.
Joshua trembled in fear.
Fortunately, soone knocked on the door.
Alexander suppressed his anger and said fiercely, “Co in.”
Jeanne pushed the door open and entered.
Joshua let out a small sigh of relief.
With Alexander being this angry, Jeanne was in for a good scolding. Joshua looked forward to seeing her make a fool of herself.
Jeanne felt Alexander’s anger the mont she entered.
However, she acted dumb and said in an amicable manner. “Dad.”
“Call General Manager in the office!” Alexander Lawrence put on airs.
“Understood.” Jeanne nodded.
“How did it go?” Alexander Lawrence looked serious.
“I wanted to report this to you privately.” Jeanne Lawrence picked up the contract in her hand. “I went to MUK today to discuss the proposal, but at the last minute, I changed the investnt amount…”
“Jeanne Lawrence, who do you think you are? What right do you have to change the company’s investnt amount? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re my daughter? Do you know that the investnt amount is the decision from the board of directors? If you change it without permission, the proposal is invalidated!” Alexander Lawrence was furious.
