Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear

Jeanne brought George back to the Lawrence family's manor.

Alexander arrived home first. Instead of going back to his room, he sat down in the living hall.

Jenifer, Jasmine, and Joshua were there too. Jasmine's eyes were red and puffy as if she had just cried a river.

Jeanne ignored everyone and wanted to go upstairs with George.

"HOLD UP!" Alexander bellowed. He was so loud that it felt like even the manor trembled.

Jeanne turned around calmly as if she was not startled at all. She asked, "Yes?"

Alexander was furious. "Do you have any idea what you did earlier? Have you not learned your lesson? Many years have passed but you still never change! You're still reckless! Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jeanne stared straight into Alexander's eyes.

Alexander bolted up and walked toward his daughter. He lifted his hand into the air and wanted to slap Jeanne on the face.

Nervous, George tightened his grip on his mother's hand.

Jeanne barely reacted as she said, "Slap me and the wedding with the Locke family is over."

Alexander's hand froze in mid-air because he was threatened by Jeanne's words.

He had been in the business world for many years and not many things or people were able to provoke him, let alone threats.

He glared at Jeanne and he saw the look on her face, unwilling to back down.

With gnashing teeth, Alexander put his hand down and said, "You just embarrassed the Locke family in public and you're still thinking about the wedding?"

"The most important thing about business-related weddings is profit. As long as the wedding can bring both families enough value and profit, there's nothing that can't be fixed. Besides, you never asked me if I'm willing to marry Thedus either," Jeanne said with a scoff.
