Chapter 594 Will She Be Happy Without Me
"You don't have to think too much! Shane is with Lawrence R, at least he can find some comfort there. Maybe he'll come back tomorrow and the little guy's mood will improve. I know tonight's dinner is Rock's proposal dinner. I also heard that you agreed to meet his father. I'm worried that Lawrence R will ruin the wedding, so maybe Rock shouldn't make it too grand."
Winnie lowered her head and nodded. "He said he would arrange it in Lymington."
"What's your opinion?"
"I agree." She just wanted Oscar to come back, she didn't want to have the wedding at all.
"Alright then, that's good!" Olivia let out a sigh, embracing her. "I'll definitely be the bridesmaid, right?"
"Of course." Winnie mustered a faint smile, her face looking gentle under the light.
The following morning, Lawrence R opened his eyes, the smell of alcohol on his body overwhelming him.
Shane held a cold towel, angrily threw it on his face, tiptoed with cold eyes. "I'm so unlucky, Mom is getting married again, Dad is like a waste, supposed to comfort me, but I ended up taking care of you all night. Uncle Jeremy is also useless, lying there, he said he's almost drinking himself to death. Dad, even if you drink yourself to death, Mom won't like you!"
As Shane spoke, tears fell from his eyes, pouting and staring at Lawrence R.
Lawrence R pursed his thin lips, got up and pulled his son, raising his big hand. "I surrender."
"Are you really surrendering to that bad man, Rock?"
Shane was very disappointed.
Lawrence R's eyes were cold as he asked, "What do you think I should do?"
"Get Mom back, stop the wedding!"
In Shane's imagination, his dad should definitely do that.
However, t in reality, he didn't want to see his mom cry.
After a night of contemplation, Shane wiped his tears, his voice hoarse, "I don't want Mom to be unhappy. If getting married makes her happy. Don't hurt her, okay?"
"So, you're surrendering." The man's sturdy figure sat on the edge of the bed, his deep eyes, reaching out to touch his son's nose.
Shane felt his dad's voice, hoarse as if crying.
However, he didn't see tears in his dad's eyes.
He was probably crying silently in his heart.
He clenched his small fist, lowered his head. "Mom is getting married, I still have both parents, I'm lucky. But Mom has nothing left, she's been ruined by you, she lost everything. Oscar is gone, Grandpa is in a coma. You think Rock isn't a good choice for marriage! I'm afraid she won't be happy."
"Winnie is unhappy by my side. Leaving me, she won't be happy either. No other man is a good choice for Winnie to marry."
Lawrence R pulled his son onto his strong thigh.
The sunlight filtered onto his sharply defined face, his features handsome yet so quiet, like darkness trapped in an abyss, shrouded between his thick brows, overshadowing his eyes.
Lawrence R's well-defined fingers lightly touched his son's ear, his voice deep. "I also want to make her happy. No one wants to make her happy more than me. If a man can't make his woman happy, isn't he a failure, shouldn't he leave? Maybe she'll only be truly happy if she leaves me."
Shane saw his serious self-questioning, looking at his dad's long thick lashes casting a shadow over his eyes.
His heart trembled with his dad's words.
His dad repeated many things, his gaze calm as water, but there was no warmth in him, his cold, hard skin chilling.
Shane felt his helplessness, a huge sadness in his heart.
His dad meant to let go, let Mom get married.
dejected.
At ten in the morning, Lawrence R left the apartment and went to the Rodriguez family company.
Luke was a little worried about his health. "Mr. Rodriguez, you drank too much last night, Mr. DeRoss said you might have alcohol poisoning, you should rest more, no need to come so early."
Lawrence R lifted his long legs, sat down in the chair, opened the file without saying a word. "After Mars was demoted, he stayed at that small company, what has he been up to these days?"
Luke immediately presented Mars's whereabouts record.
"Hellen often goes to see him, I don't know what kind of alliance they have, so strong.
They must be unwilling to accept your demotion!"
"How's the stock price of the Peterson Group now, how badly has it fallen?"
"After the profit-sharing agreement between the Rodriguez family and the Peterson Group was abolished by you, the Peterson Group lost billions of dollars, all cooperation with the Rodriguez family group was terminated, the Peterson Group is currently in a difficult situation, I know Hellen is seeking investments in secret, and even wants Jenkins Company to join."
"Set up a meeting with Bentley."
Lawrence R didn't even look up, his eyes cold and narrowed. "Have you investigated thoroughly? Is Hellen the only one behind the Peterson Group?"
Luke frowned. "There doesn't seem to be any particularly powerful figure in the Peterson family, they have been at the bottom for these years, not sure if it's incompetence or low-key. Hellen is the largest shareholder of the Peterson Group and also the legal person."
Lawrence R raised a corner of his lips indifferently. "Hellen is a woman, she can't handle such a big plate like the Peterson Group. There must be someone behind her.
This person is lurking in the Peterson family, it shows that the Peterson family is not incompetent, just too low-key. How much benefit has the Peterson family gained from the Rodriguez family over the years? Even my father may not be able to figure it out!"
Luke was shocked.
Indeed, if there hadn't been a powerful person lurking behind, Mars, such an arrogant person, wouldn't have obeyed Hellen's orders and wouldn’t have worked for her Peterson Group.
"Mr. Rodriguez, I always feel that Mars and Hellen's relationship is too close. It's not as simple as an alliance, Mars is selfish, why would he work for the Peterson family?"
Lawrence R clasped his hands, coldly smiling. "Whatever their relationship is, Mars forced me to go to Country B, if he doesn't kill me there, he has already failed. Now that I've taken away his power, it's hard for him to come back. Those projects in his hands will all return to the Rodriguez family, go bring Anday to me, I need to have a detailed discussion with him."
Luke had an epiphany. "So, you're going to give Mars' power to Anday. He must be ecstatic that you're reaching out to him! Mr. Rodriguez, it turns out you have your own plan, you've fulfilled your promise to Kathy. Brothers don't fight each other. Push outsiders out! With this territory of the Rodriguez family, you've secured your position."
Lawrence R glanced at him expressionlessly. "Has the chip development team from Island Electronics arrived in Trento City? The technology from Island Electronics invested in the projects of the Rodriguez family group will be launched immediately."
Luke smiled. "They have arrived! Since the release of the Power Saving chip last time, the latest global chip - Intelligent Constant, the head of the research team said it can be launched in half a month. When Island Electronics' technology is injected into the Rodriguez family group, the Rodriguez family group will transform from the top domestic financial conglomerate to the leader in the global technology field. You've truly secured the position of the Rodriguez family."
The Rodriguez family group was on top in traditional industries domestically. However, they lacked in the tech field.
The Rodriguez family conglomerate would be invincible, and Mr. Rodriguez would likely become the richest man in the world by improving in this area.
This man was truly unstoppable.
Luke showed an excited and proud look, secretly thinking that even if Mr. Rodriguez wanted to snatch Miss Anderson, Rock's abilities wouldn't be able to stop him.
A sharp ring pierced the silence. Lawrence R reached for the phone, a furrow forming in his brow.
