Chapter 1767 Another Possibility
Mr. Lawrence’s state was even worse than just now.He probably felt that there was nothing left to struggle on, so he could only honestly give an account of what he knew.The police pursued the question that they did not get a satisfactory answer on earlier.“Mr. Lawrence, how did you contact the owner of the underground casino? Were you alone the first time you went there? Or did someone take you there?”Mr. Lawrence looked at Lance with a gloomy face. Every word he said was the opposite of his original intention of sitting in this position.Yet, no amount of regret could bring everything back to the way it was in the beginning.“I went alone. At that time, I just got this position, so I had more social engagements. Everyone was trying to get in my good graces, so I would basically go for drinks every day. One time, I drank too much. Everyone left, so I also wanted to leave. There were barely any people on that street, and somehow, I just walked to a doorway. I didn’t know at fi
Chapter 1768 Just Change It
The police made it sound very simple as if Mr. Lawrence could go home once he was done.However, Mr. Lawrence knew that it was impossible.Even if they could recover $200 million, he was still guilty as charged.Lance was so forgiving only because the money still had not been recovered, so they still needed his cooperation in many aspects.Mr. Lawrence also understood this very well.He was at the end of his rope, so he had no choice but to cooperate till the end.Mr. Lawrence nodded, turned his head to look at Lance, then followed the police and left.Once everyone was gone, Yvette sighed.“$200 million…”Lance saw her heartbroken look and suddenly felt a little relieved that she finally appreciated how difficult it was to make money as soon as she took office.Just as he was about to compliment her, Yvette’s regretful voice rang out.“How many bags can I buy with $200 million?”Lance’s opened mouth snapped shut in an instant. He looked at her with a calm face and laughed.
Chapter 1769 Visiting the Office
The two people at the center of the gossip were now alone in the same office. Although they were a married couple, those rumors were still taken as a laughing matter.Gossip attracted the most attention after all.Lance was not satisfied with Yvette’s answer and intended to call someone to investigate this.Before Lance dialed the number, Yvette bluntly told him.“You don’t need to ask. Once you ask, people will only think that you’re guilty!”“What do you mean by that?”Yvette raised her eyebrows, turned her chair very leisurely, and smiled.“Because your assistant saw us hugging in your office earlier, he thought that we just did some strenuous exercise… Now, this gossip is all over the office!”Lance’s face went from amazement to shock, and finally, it became stiff.It all happened in a few short seconds.Yvette was amused. She should have told him earlier because his reaction was too funny.She thought about what she was just worried about and thought that it was nothing
Chapter 1770 Out of Control Image
The receptionist pondered for a long time and could not pinpoint it.Fiona and Mrs. Quimbey went upstairs. Halfway up, the elevator stopped, and two employees came in.The two employees whispered about some gossip.“Is it true? You guys saw what happened? Mr. Sheldon really had sex with Ms. Quimbey in the office?!”When they were discussing it, they were so excited that they did not notice that there were two other women in the elevator.Fiona and Mrs. Quimbey’s faces became tense in an instant, and they pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.The other employee said, “How can I see what happened? Mr. Sheldon’s assistant was the one who said that he saw it with his own eyes. That scene was just so hot that he would’ve gotten a nosebleed!”“After all, they’re newlyweds, right? I saw the internal notice. Ms. Quimbey isn’t a secretary anymore. Ever since Mr. Lawrence embezzled company funds, he was taken away, and Ms. Quimbey is taking his place as vice president. In the future, we mus
Chapter 1771 It’s a Good Thing
Mrs. Quimbey smiled and said, “You’re so busy. Your mother and I were just casually strolling around.”Fiona looked at her son with a bit of coldness in her gaze. How could she not notice that her son was trying to please his mother-in-law?She raised this son for nothing!Lance took them to his office.Before he could say anything, he watched as his mother wandered around his office, looking left and right. Fiona even went to the lounge and bathroom to check carefully as if she was looking for something.Yvette’s mother just had an embarrassed look on her face.Lance was helpless and asked, “Mom, what are you looking for?”Fiona asked, “Where’s Yvette? Why are you not together?”Lance rubbed his temples. “She has her own office now, so of course, she won’t be in my wardrobe…”He gritted his teeth a little and looked at Fiona. She even checked under the wardrobe and everywhere that could hide someone.Was she looking for Yvette or a mistress?This was too humiliating, especi
Chapter 1772 Love Can Be Forced
Lance’s words gave Mrs. Quimbey a piece of mind, which allowed her tense heart to settle a little.Mrs. Quimbey originally thought that Yvette would not be able to do the job and that her status would make the employees unhappy.However, when she heard what Lance said, she thought that she had been overthinking it.Since it was beneficial to both parties, what was there to worry about?This remark made Yvette blush in embarrassment.Lance was a really good liar. Clearly, Yvette was the one who asked for this position, yet Lance made it sound so grand as if Yvette was forced to take up the position.Besides, those things that happened at the board meeting were still fresh in Yvette’s mind. Those people did not unanimously agree on that decision. Instead, the voice of the opposition was suppressed.However, this was also good.Yvette looked at Lance with delighted eyes.When Lance looked up, he met Yvette’s gaze. Yvette seized the opportunity to wink at him and raised her eyebro
Chapter 1773 Very Tactful
Even Lance did not take the initiative, it was all because of that male assistant, who only knew how to mess things up and spread gossip.Fiona laughed dryly and did not believe her son at all.“I’m just telling you, so you just need to listen.”She coughed and pushed the door open to get off. “Alright, you can go back. Don’t make her wait too long!”Of course, Lance could not dump his mother at the roadside alone. He helplessly said, “I’ll take you home.”Fiona firmly refused. “No!”As the stalemate went on, a Porsche came over from not far away. Fiona smiled.“My driver’s here. You can go back.”Lance helplessly watched as his mother got into the car that drove away before he turned around and went home.After some thought, too many things happened today.However...Lance sent a message to the company’s HR when he parked at the garage.That night, his male secretary received a transfer notice. He was demoted as the President’s assistant to the logistics department.Lance
Chapter 1774 Focus On Unnecessary Things
Yvette paused. Her tone subconsciously rose.“Clayton was by your side the whole time?!”Did a third party hear what she just said?Nicole laughed. “No, he just came over.”Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. “How are you feeling lately? Is the baby alright?”Speaking of the baby, Nicole smiled and touched her belly.“Not bad. There’s not much reaction, so it doesn’t affect me going to work to make money!”Yvette chattered on for a long time until she heard a loud commotion at the door.She guessed that Lance was back, so she hurriedly hung up the phone.Before Nicole could react to it, her phone was taken away by Clayton.“You don’t need to look. Mr. Sheldon probably came back, so Ms. Quimbey won’t call again.”Nicole clapped her hands. She thought the same thing.That girl always forgot about her friends when she saw a guy.Clayton stroked her hair and smiled with his eyes.“I made some soup for you. Should I bring it over to you?”Nicole gulped. “Forget it. It’s too lat
