Chapter 423
The documents were the evidence of several board members’ embezzlement.
“You guys do consider this company yours,” Bowen ridiculed. “Don’t waste your energy on Bree Technology, and think about how to explain things to the police officers.”
The door swung open, and Kelvin appeared with several police officers. A few board members were quickly escorted away.
Bowen resumed his seat in the conference room, raised his hand, and asked, “My friends, any thoughts about GrabCheap’s going public?”
Any thoughts? The survivors forced a smile. Because Bowen kept a low profile in the past years, people almost forgot that he was ruthless.
“You are the boss.”
“I side with you, Mr. Turner.”
The board members finally realized their blunder. Satisfied, Bowen said, “Let’s call it a day then.”
With a lingering fear, the board members left the conference room.
When Bowen was alone in the room, Kelvin showed up and reported, “Mr. Turner, I found the man you want, and he has already settled down. You can meet him whenever you want.” Bowen nodded.
Elizabeth had defied Bowen and targeted Aubree many times, and the Lawson Group and the Wilson Group entered into a partnership. Therefore, Bowen decided to teach the Lawson family a good lesson.
The Lawson family in Rithol City seemed harmonious and peaceful, but that wasn’t the truth.
Elizabeth was now the head of the Lawson family, but her father, Jerry Lawson, was a pushover.
The lucky Jerry had gotten married to a woman from a prestigious family in Kiamy, and that woman was the real reason for his prosperity.
Elizabeth’s mother, Daisy Lawson, helped Jerry get the Lawson Group, and she was strict with him.
Jerry didn’t have the guts to go against his wife in public. After Elizabeth was born, Daisy discreetly trained her daughter to be the future leader of the Lawson Group.
When the time was ripe, Elizabeth took the company over from her father.
As a man, Jerry lived with bitterness because he had suffered a lot of humiliation from his wife and his daughter. He lived off Elizabeth and had to cut ties with all his mistresses after Daisy died.
Bowen let Kelvin find Jerry’s illegitimate child. Jerry could cut ties with his mistresses, but could he do the same to his only son?
After Elizabeth was born, Daisy was too weak to bear another child. Back then, Jerry had talked about surrogacy for a son.
Now that Daisy was gone, what change would Jerry’s illegitimate child bring to the Lawson family? Nobody knew.
“Get him trained up. Send him to Jerry when he is ready. The Lawson family needs a good surprise after all these peaceful days,” Bowen said.
Kelvin chuckled. Peace would leave the Lawson family the moment Elizabeth saw her half-brother, given her temper. “Got you,” Kelvin replied.
During the preparations for GrabCheap’s going public, Birgitte asked for leave. “Ms. Miller, I need a day off to attend the birthday party held by the Moore family.”
Aubree remembered the Moore family because the previous farce was quite impressive to her.
Without hesitation, she gave her agreement to Birgitte. In fact, she would attend that birthday party too.
The Turner family was close with the Moore family, so she got invited as Bowen’s girlfriend.
The Moore family was engaged in politics. Their party wasn’t as luxurious as those held by businessmen, and their guests were either politicians or their good friends.
“How dare that bitch come here!” Grace stared at Birgitte who was chatting with the Moore couple.
The Moore couple knew that their son liked Birgitte very much, and they felt that Birgitte was a good girl. They had seen the news, so they sympathized with Birgitte.
When Laurel held Birgitte’s hand, Grace gritted her teeth with fury. Upon her arrival with her parents, Grace explained to the Moore couple that Hugo had misunderstood her.
The response she got was that the engagement mentioned was just a joke. The Moore couple even said that they saw her as their daughter all the time.
The problem was that Grace didn’t want to be their daughter at all.
With conspicuous anger in her eyes, Grace heard a voice ask, “Mad?”
Elizabeth appeared with a glass of wine. “The Moore family is engaged in politics, so their reputation matters. Sometimes, you just have to go get it.” Then, she flashed Grace a smile.
Something struck Grace, and her eyes quickly lit up. “Thanks, Elizabeth!”
Soon after the party was over, Birgitte hurried back to Südlichen Strand and didn’t give Hugo a chance to flatter her. To Birgitte, work always came first.
Along with the success of GrabCheap, both Aubree and Birgitte became famous.
Birgitte was interviewed, and her inspirational story helped make her an icon for many people.
Before GrabCheap went public, Birgitte became well-known in Südlichen Strand.
“According to our exclusive interview with the most popular emcee, Grace Lawson, we learned that her relationship is in danger because of a successful woman whose story was inspirational. We started our investigation and got a lot. However, it is a pity that we failed to interview the woman in question.”
This news instantly attracted the attention of Birgitte who listened to the news as usual.
“An inspirational story? Grace?” Birgitte thought. She raised her head and looked at the TV set not far away.
“Our investigation confirmed that the woman in question has dated Grace’s boyfriend many times and that they seem intimate. When she was in trouble, he helped her more than a friend should. We’re curious about your opinions about this affair, my friends.”
Birgitte’s face had been blurred in the photos, but it was easy for people to figure out who the woman in question was.
Birgitte tapped her finger on the desk, and her first thought was that she was targeted because GrabCheap would go public.
However, Hugo was involved, and few people would mess with the Moore family to plot against Birgitte…
