Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear

Jonathan was furious.

To anyone in the Lawrence family, the company's shares were much more important than life itself. How could he possibly give the share to an... an... outsider?!

Later that day, Jonathan called Alexander to his study. The two of them stayed inside for a long time. No one knew what they were talking about.

When Alexander came out of the study, the gloom on his face was as dark as the stormy clouds.

Jenifer went up to him and asked, "Alex, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You better ask your dear daughter and ask yourself how you taught her over the years!" Alexander was angry.

"Your daughter lashed out at Jeanne earlier and even said that the wedding with the Locke family is happening because we're getting 30 million from them! Now, Jeanne is using it against us and she wants Father to give her five percent of the company's shares!"

"Jeanne is full of herself! How could we possibly give her our company's shares? Not even Joshua had any." Jenifer was shocked.

"I only have ten percent, let alone the boy," Alexander said.

"What did Father say?" Jenifer asked out of concern.

"What else? The wedding is around the corner. We can't turn down the deal now," Alexander said with gnashing teeth. He wished he could strangle Jeanne with his bare hands.

"Father said yes?! H-How could he say yes?! If we agree to give Jeanne the shares this time, she'll ask for more!" Jenifer was in disbelief.

"Or else you'll have to tell Jasmine to marry Thedus instead!" Alexander said.

Jenifer was silenced.

"That girl... What's wrong with her? She's always so tender and kind, why must she lash out at Jeanne like that?" Alexander could barely contain his anger.

"It must be Jeanne who made her angry. Jasmine has always been a kind girl but Jeanne has been too much lately."

"You better watch Jasmine. Don't let her cause any more trouble before the wedding happens! I'll let her off this time but there won't be a next time! Once Jeanne's wedding is over, I'll make her give us back the shares that she asked for!" Alexander said angrily.

Jenifer remained quiet.

Alexander was already furious. Talking more would only make him angrier.

Jenifer squinted her eyes. She thought she could let Jeanne be arrogant for a while since the wedding would mark the end of her life but now, things had changed.
