Chapter 754 I'll Marry You
Angelina said, "But you did save me, and I just want to show my gratitude. What do you think I should do?" Angelina leaned in slightly, her slender arms resting on the desk, blinking her bright eyes at him. "How about I marry you?"
Lawrence casually glanced up and could see her deliberately exposed cleavage.
A chill instantly flashed in his eyes, and a wave of nausea surged up. "Ms. Harper, you should check my medical records from half a month ago. I have a sexual dysfunction, so I wouldn't want to ruin your life plans."
Angelina said, "With the kind of strength you showed saving a woman from an explosion, how could you have a sexual dysfunction? You have a perfect physique, lean muscles."
As Angelina spoke, she boldly glanced at his crossed legs.
Lawrence's face suddenly changed, and he slapped a file to block her view. If she weren't Samuel's daughter someone he couldn't afford to offend at the moment, he would have kicked this shameless Angelina out long ago.
His gaze was as cold as frost. "Ms. Harper, have some self-respect!"
Seeing his change in expression, Angelina pouted reluctantly. "I just wanted to take a look. Why are you so repulsed, Mr. Rodriguez? Are you very conservative? Or are you afraid I'll find out you're lying about your condition?"
Lawrence coldly pushed her away. "The hospital's urology department has my recent records. You can check them anytime."
Angelina was momentarily stunned, looking at his stern face. He didn't seem to be lying. It was the first time she had heard a man talk about his sexual dysfunction so confidently. She found it both surprising and amusing. It seemed that the mature and strict Lawrence was indeed different from others.
"It doesn't matter. Nowadays, every illness can be cured, Mr. Rodriguez." Angelina said sweetly, cupping her face. "Don't worry, my daddy is powerful. Every doctor in Veridiania listens to his orders! And even if it can't be cured, we can have a spiritual relationship. I'm not a girl with strong desires."
Lawrence's already gloomy face turned even darker.
He had never seen such an open and self-righteous woman, clearly spoiled.
Bryan said, "Ms. Harper, Mr. Rodriguez dislikes having his work time occupied."
"I understand. I like serious working men even more." Angelina threw a flirtatious glance at Lawrence and left gracefully.
Lawrence was speechless and directly told Bryan, "Next time she comes, tell her I'm not in the office."
"Alright." Bryan also turned away speechlessly.
"Wait, give me your phone." Lawrence reached out to him.
"Mr. Rodriguez, I already placed your new phone on your desk."
Lawrence said, "Help me find Winnie's Facebook and give it to me."
Under his cold gaze, Bryan had no choice but to follow his orders.
Lawrence's cold lips warmed slightly as he dialed Winnie's voice call.
"Hello, Bryan, are you looking for me?" Winnie's polite and gentle voice came through.
Hearing her tone, Lawrence immediately glared coldly at Bryan. Why did Bryan get her gentleness while he got nothing?
Bryan, looking helpless, remained silent.
Lawrence said, "Winnie, it's me."
Lawrence's deep voice sounded, as if the cold treatment of Angelina and Bryan earlier was from another person, now turning incredibly gentle. "Did you sleep well last night? Are you at work?"
Bryan was stunned, watching Lawrence's flattering demeanor.
On the other end, realizing it wasn't Bryan, Winnie's voice immediately turned impatient. "Lawrence, why is it you again? How many people's phones are you going to borrow?"
Deeply despised, Lawrence pretended not to hear, smiling thick-skinnedly. "Winnie, thank you for paying my medical bills so attentively last night."
Winnie said impatiently, "If you're going to repay me, just transfer the money to the Blanchet Group's corporate account."
Before he could finish, Winnie interrupted him.
Hearing her tone about to hang up, Lawrence's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he quickly adapted. "Repaying money isn't enough. You saved my life twice last night. I know a nice restaurant, let me treat you to lunch."
"Sorry, I'm not available." Winnie directly declined.
"Then when are you available? Winnie, I can accompany you anytime." Lawrence laughed deeply.
Winnie replied, "For you, I'm never available!"
Winnie was truly annoyed and hung up before he could say more.
Lawrence looked at the phone, not angry, and glanced at Bryan. "Transfer the money to the Blanchet Group's corporate account, and add a bit more."
Bryan was speechless. How much more? Did he think he was rich now?
Blanchet Group CEO's Office.
Winnie immediately received a notification that her personal account had an additional fifty thousand dollars.
The sender's account: Lawrence.
Winnie was speechless. The medical bill last night was only four thousand dollars. Did he think he was rich now?
Wasn't the Rodriguez Group on the verge of bankruptcy?
Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to return it. After all, Lawrence had hurt her so much, she hadn't even counted the emotional damage.
Her phone rang, and Winnie put down her pen, pressing the speaker button. "Mr. Jenkins, what's up?"
Jenkins said, "I went to the King Family this morning. Mr. King said the explosion yesterday was initially determined to be intentional, with evidence pointing to Phoebe and Timothy."
"Ms. Peterson from the Peterson Family?" Winnie was incredulous. "She looks like someone without a brain, and she's so young. How could she have the guts to cause an explosion?"
Jenkins replied, "They say Phoebe and Timothy are lovers. Timothy was unhappy about Phoebe being harassed by Lawrence, so they set fire to the King Family out of anger. But I think the Peterson Family is pushing the blame onto her.
Mr. King also suspects the Peterson Family is involved.
But Phoebe and Timothy, as suspects, have already been taken in for questioning."
Winnie understood. "It seems these two are scapegoats for the Peterson Family. But Mr. Harper is just going to let it go?"
Jenkins said, "I had my mom ask Mr. Harper. According to her, Mr. Harper doesn't plan to pursue it further."
Winnie pondered and then understood. "It seems the Peterson Family has given Mr. Harper a lot of benefits."
Jenkins said, "Probably. Mr. Harper is in the Treasury Department, and he needs substantial funds for next year's vice-presidential campaign. Mr. King hasn't intervened either. By the way, Mr. Harper also asked me about Lawrence."
Winnie's expression paused. She had sensed last night that Angelina looked at Lawrence differently.
Jenkins asked, "Winnie, do you think Angelina really has a thing for Lawrence? The Rodriguez Group is on the brink of collapse. If Lawrence could become the future vice president's son-in-law, with his abilities, wouldn't it be easy for him to make a comeback?"
Winnie replied, "I don't have time to meddle in other people's business. I wish him success!"
Winnie immediately cut Bentley off coldly and hung up the phone.
Her eyes stared at the desk, somewhat dazed. In this situation, any man would seize the opportunity to marry Angelina, and the Rodriguez Family would quickly recover.
However, thinking that he had already caught the Harper Family's eye, yet still wanted to invite her to dinner and sent her fifty thousand dollars, Winnie was furious.
