Chapter 840 Doubting Life
Glancing at Winnie's angry face, he, knowing the inside story, could only explain, "Jeremy has his reasons. To prevent the news of him being alive from leaking, he had to ask Lynn to keep it a secret first. He's just acting."
"Can't Olivia understand Jeremy at such a critical moment? Besides, Jeremy and Olivia never clarified their feelings. Jeremy isn't really wronging her, is he? He had a fiancée first."
"What did you say?" Winnie, furious, punched Lawrence's hard chest, her face fierce. "Typical bad man talk. Olivia liking Jeremy is Jeremy's luck. He's been ambiguous with Olivia. Doesn't he need to take responsibility? As soon as Lynn comes, he abandons Olivia. Just like you, bad to the core!"
Lawrence, innocently caught in the crossfire, instantly fell silent, pursing his thin lips, not knowing what to say.
"Winnie, I told you. Jeremy is just pretending. Find some time to tell Olivia the truth and ask her to cooperate a bit."
Winnie looked at his indifferent face speechlessly, "If I explain, do you think she'll believe me? She'll think I'm just comforting her! Don't be fooled by Olivia's usual cheerfulness. She's been hurt by Sam before, her heart is fragile. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been afraid to start a new relationship all these years."
"Sorry, it's my ignorance. Anyway, don't be mad." Lawrence immediately chose to appease her. "To achieve great things, sometimes we have to put on a show. Like when I acted with Ishara for my mother's spinal treatment."
"You still feel wronged? Are you saying you weren't wrong?" Winnie's face instantly turned cold.
"No. I was wrong, it was all my fault. I was stupid not to tell you the truth."
Lawrence regretted it deeply, but just like Jeremy now, he had his concerns back then.
But he couldn't let Jeremy end up like him. Once these two weeks were over, he would definitely find Olivia and explain everything. Jeremy was innocent.
"Winnie, don't go." Seeing Winnie turn around and leave in anger, Lawrence chased after her with a stern face.
Winnie started packing as soon as she entered the room, talking to their sons while packing, "My health is better now, I'm going back to the Dazzling Estate. You decide whether to stay with Lawrence or come home with me."
Lawrence said, "Winnie! You don't need to force the kids to choose. Isn't this place big enough? There's plenty of room for you."
"Thanks, but this isn't my home, I'm not used to living here."
Winnie politely declined, businesslike, "But we're still partners. If you need me to act for Rock at the company, email me."
Lawrence was helpless, his handsome face darkening.
Did she really need to draw such a clear line?
Was she really going to argue with him over Olivia?
Was his current status not even as good as Olivia's?
Lawrence held back his anger, not daring to contradict her, following behind Winnie.
"Winnie, don't be so heartless. The kids need you."
His thigh was patted, and Sidney, carrying his backpack, walked over, glaring at him with disdain, "If you weren't my dad, I'd tell you you're useless! You can't even chase a woman."
"You can?" Lawrence wanted to spank him.
Sidney said, "If I could, wouldn't that be dangerous? If you had a rival like me, you'd be done for."
Lawrence roughly knew where Sidney's pride came from.
It was inherited from himself.
Gritting his teeth, he looked at Oscar with increasing fondness, "If we have to divide custody again, I only want Oscar."
"But I don't want you," Oscar said, carrying his small computer.
Lawrence fell silent.
Watching his two sons follow Winnie without a word, he doubted his life. Was he just a sperm donor?
Back at the Dazzling Estate.
After handing the two kids to the bodyguards, Winnie immediately went to the neighboring villa to find Olivia.
As soon as she entered, she bumped into Olivia, neatly dressed, coming out. She was carrying a laptop bag, her hair tied up, looking ready for business. "Winnie, you're back? Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm ready, let's go to the Blanchet Group."
Winnie carefully looked at her face, her expression normal.
But even though Olivia had tidied up, Winnie noticed the redness at the corners of her eyes.
Her feelings were complicated, "Olivia, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. What could be wrong?" Olivia gave her a punch, pretending to smile, and walked briskly to the car. "Didn't you say we need to stop Rock from starting the Serene Haven Hotel project? I've got the computer virus ready, let's go."
"Olivia, Jeremy..."
"Can you not mention him? I don't want to hear about him right now." Olivia turned her face towards the car door.
Olivia was completely avoiding it.
Winnie's words stuck in her throat. The more she wanted to explain for Jeremy, the more Olivia would see it as comforting her.
Forget it, let her cool down first!
Driving to the Blanchet Group, they found Rock in a meeting, planning to hold a groundbreaking ceremony at the site that afternoon, with all the funds in place by tomorrow, starting the Serene Haven Hotel project.
Winnie exchanged a glance with Olivia, and they barged into the meeting room.
Several shareholders looked up in surprise, frowning at the sight of Winnie, who they hadn't seen for days.
Winnie glanced around, understanding that the shareholders attending this meeting had likely been secretly bribed by Rock.
Her gaze cold and sharp, she saw Ishara, with a swollen belly, sitting in the project deputy manager's seat.
Next to Ishara, Rock leisurely lifted his gentle eyes, "Winnie, you're back at work? Perfect timing. Today, I'm starting the groundbreaking ceremony for the project. With a $100 billion investment, the Serene Haven Hotel project will become the next brilliant industry under the Blanchet Group."
His tone carried the arrogance of someone in power, as if he already controlled the Blanchet Group.
"Stop it!" Winnie angrily pounded the table.
Her expression urgent, suppressing great anger, she said, "That day, my father was critically ill, and I couldn't come. The shareholders made a hasty decision in my absence. We don't want your $100 billion, and you can't force it into the project, trying to control the core of the Blanchet Group!"
She added, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Potts, I do not agree to start today's groundbreaking ceremony."
Rodolfo and Randal's faces turned sour. After all, they had privately accepted Rock's generous bribes.
"Winnie, the board's decision is not something you can just overturn," Rodolfo sighed.
