Chapter 89 She Can
Helen was firm in her speculation.
Larry must be the general of Southwild, but he just smiled and said nothing.
He drove and soon arrived at Chloe's house.
Maria's family had gone out in the morning, spent the whole morning handling the car insurance and other follow-up matters, and had been back for a while.
Chloe and Kelly had gone to the Trade Center and were now back as well.
When Larry returned home, it was almost 1:00 p.m..
As soon as he walked in, Maria scolded, "It took you this long to pick someone up? Look at the time! Hurry up and make lunch."
Since Larry joined the Lewis family, Maria hadn't cooked a single meal.
Now the whole family had become lazy; no one wanted to cook, so it was past one, and they still hadn't had lunch.
Larry walked in with a suitcase, put it down, and nodded immediately. "I'll get right on it."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
"Helen," Maria greeted warmly.
Helen looked at Larry heading to the kitchen and frowned slightly.
She had noticed Larry's behavior today.
Outside the airport, he threw punches at people without a second thought.
He even had lunch with General Howard.
Finally, he took her to the military district and took a photo with Free King.
She thought, 'A person like that can't possibly be ordinary.
'However, now that he is back home, why does he suddenly seem like a different person?'
Helen scanned the members of the Lewis family.
She called out, "Maria, Scott."
Her gaze finally landed on Chloe, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes. "Chloe, is that you?"
"Helen, long time no see," Chloe greeted warmly.
Helen stared at Chloe.
She had heard that Chloe had regained her looks and was now a beauty. But she hadn't expected Chloe to be this beautiful.
So beautiful that even Helen, as a woman, was envious.
That figure, that appearance, was just too outstanding.
"Chloe, did Larry cure you?" Helen asked, her face full of shock.
"Yes." Chloe smiled. "Don't just stand there, have a seat."
Helen took a deep breath. "Is Larry really that capable?"
Maria immediately said, "He just knows a bit of medicine, nothing else. He's not good enough for Chloe. I'm thinking of having Chloe divorce Larry. With Chloe's looks now, she can definitely find someone better."
"Yeah," Helen clapped her hands and said, "Maria, you're right. Larry is not good enough for Chloe. They should get divorced quickly."
She added in her heart, 'Once they're divorced, I'll have a chance.'
A man who was impressive outside and knew medicine was hard to find.
"Mom..." Chloe looked displeased and then glanced at Helen. "Helen, why are you saying such things too?"
Helen laughed. "Chloe, you're so beautiful. I genuinely think Larry is not good enough for you."
Sam also chimed in, "I think Helen is right. Chloe, don't be so devoted to Larry. Aren't you on good terms with Ms. Moore from the Everlife Group? Have Ms. Moore introduce you to a wealthy man. That way, I can also bask in the glory."
The family gathered together, urging Chloe to divorce Larry.
Meanwhile, Larry was in the kitchen cooking.
At the same time, at the Lewis family villa, Victor had gathered the family again.
He still hadn't gotten over what happened yesterday.
Dozens of big shots kneeling and apologizing to Chloe; that scene was truly shocking.
Even if Leo, Samuel, and Matthew, these big shots, were helping Chloe to repay a favor, it was still a form of networking.
"Chloe must be brought back," Victor issued an unquestionable order.
Harry said, "Dad, it's not that we don't want to, but Chloe's family simply doesn't want to come back. Even if the family offered them 20% of the shares, they still don't want to return."
Victor sat on the sofa, smoking, looked up, and asked, "Harry, do you know what my dream is?"
Harry said, "Dad, your dream is to make the Lewis family a true prestigious family."
Victor nodded. "Even if these big shots are helping Chloe to repay a favor, it's still her network. As long as we maintain good relations with these big shots, the Lewis family is bound to rise. Do you know how much we've earned from our cooperation with Legion Lord during this period? We've already made over two million dollars."
He took a puff of his cigarette. "As long as Chloe comes back, we can expand production, even collaborate deeply with large pharmaceutical groups like Legion Lord and the Everlife Group, and enter the Trade Center. This way, the Lewis family will surely rise."
He became more and more excited as he spoke, "No matter the cost, we must bring Chloe back."
The members of the Lewis family all had somber expressions; none of them wanted Chloe to return.
Even though the Lewis family had collaborated with Legion Lord because of Chloe, if Chloe came back, she would definitely take control of the Lewis family and gradually exploit their interests.
In that case, even if the Lewis family made more money, if they didn't get a share of the benefits, it wouldn't matter if the Lewis family became a prestigious family or not.
"Grandpa," Oscar said, "Chloe won't come back. You don't know, last time I even knelt before her, and you don't know how heartless Maria was. She said even if youcame personally and begged on your knees, she wouldn't return to the family."
Julia chimed in, "That's right, Grandpa. Their family is too despicable. They've been spending the Lewis family's money all these years, and now when we need them, they've turned their backs on us and become heartless."
"I'll go personally again," Victor stood up and said, "Prepare the gifts."
Harry reluctantly went to prepare the gifts.
Then, Victor took Harry's family and went to Chloe's house again.
Jack's family didn't live in the Lewis family's big villa but had bought a small villa nearby.
After Larry finished cooking, he sat on the balcony smoking.
Helen had also finished her meal but hadn't eaten.
She walked over, looking at Larry smoking on the balcony, and smiled. "Larry, why do you have no status in the Lewis family? If you ask me, you should divorce Chloe."
Larry glanced at Helen.
Helen blinked her lively big eyes at him. "How about I marry you after you divorce?"
Larry smiled but said nothing.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Sam put down his utensils to answer the door, and when he saw Victor, his body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, why are you here? Come in."
Sam led Victor and the others inside. "Mom, Dad, Victor, and Harry are here."
Maria put down her fork, her face darkening.
Victor walked in with a smile. "Chloe, I came to see you."
Chloe quickly stood up and greeted him, "Grandpa, please sit down. Have you eaten? I'll get some utensils."
Victor smiled. "I've eaten. Chloe, it's been so many days, are you still angry? Come home, you can still be the chairman of the Everjoy Company."
"Impossible," Maria immediately said, "Victor, don't waste your efforts. Chloe won't go back unless the Lewis family gives 50% of the family shares to Scott. Otherwise, we absolutely won't return."
"What?" Oscar immediately got agitated, raising his voice. "50% of the shares? How shameless can you be?"
Harry's face also darkened. "Maria, don't go too far."
Harry's wife, Lily Smith, also got anxious and quickly said, "Victor, you mustn't agree."
Victor waved his hand slightly, interrupting everyone.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Chloe, if we give your family 50% of the shares, can you lead the Lewis family to glory? Can you make the Lewis family a true prestigious family?"
Chloe was stunned.
She hadn't expected Victor to agree to give 50% of the shares.
She thought, 'However, leading the Lewis family to glory and becoming a prestigious family? Do I have that capability?
'I don't think I have.'
Maria also hadn't expected Victor to agree.
She immediately said, "Of course, you don't know how many big shots Chloe knows now. Just this morning, she went to the Trade Center with Ms. Moore from Everlife Pharmaceuticals."
Saying this, Maria glanced at Chloe and asked, "Chloe, right? Tell them you can lead the Lewis family to glory."
"I..." Chloe hesitated.
She really didn't have that confidence.
In her mind, if it was about managing a company well, she definitely had confidence. But leading the family to glory, she didn't have that ability.
"Chloe can." Larry, having finished his cigarette, walked over and smiled. "Victor, don't worry. She can definitely lead the Lewis family to glory. The Hall family of the Four Great Families in Sunset City has already fallen, and the other three families have also disappeared. It won't be long before the Lewis family becomes one of the new Four Great Families."
