Chapter 620
After Bernard’s speech, a bunch of relatives were left speechless. They didn’t see it coming that the big
cheese of the Laurence family would be in the know of their shady deals “Sure, we did this stuff, but
you can’t just kick us all out of the Laurence family, right?”
They didn’t believe that other folks in the Laurence family hadn’t done the same, so why were they the
first to take the hit?
Big bro, you gotta stand up for us. We hardly have any shares as it is, if they’re taken back now, how
will we get by?”
The “big bro” they were referring to was Blake, the father of the Laurence family These relatives were
Blake’s siblings, both close and distant, all part of his generation. Although Blake wasn’t the top dog
anymore, his word still carried weight Regardless of Bernard’s power, he couldn’t just bypass Blake,
right? As long as Blake stood up for them, Bernard’s decision would mean squat! It was because of
Blakes backup that they dared to play dirty behind the scenes

interests, he wouldn’t let slide. Though he didn’t agree with Bernard summoning everyone back to the
old mansion for a woman, he sided with Bernard on this matter
Bernard had dug up the dirt and planned to deal with the relatives who were abusing the Laurence
family’s name, and Blake of course supported him. However, they were all part of the same clan, even
if he detested their actions, he had to keep up appearances.
Thinking this. Blake put on a show of anger, banging his cane on the floor, “Bernard, we’re all family
here, a little lesson is enough. Don’t go overboard”
Bernard gave Blake an indifferent glance, 11 deal with you after I’m done with them. Don’t rush
Blake, who had tried to play the good guy, looked grim at these words. What was this supposed to
mean? He was about to ask when Bernard looked away, turning his cold gaze to the disgruntled
relatives
“You’ve got a minute Ether take the buyout and leave, or be sent to the police station. Your choice”
As soon as his words fell the bodyguards in the living room stepped forward, ready to haul anyone who
didn’t comply off to the station.
The relatives were in shock. They saw that Bernard was planning to deal with Blake after them. Was
this a rebellion? They wanted to resist, but the bodyguards‘ icy stares and intimidating presence, were
as formidable as Bernard’s, and it made their hearts tremble with fear. They really blew it this time. If
they had known better, they would have just attended Bernard’s proposal ceremony instead of getting
into all this mess.
They had blamed Bernard for being an authoritarian, but now that he had them by the balls, they began
blaming the old man for stirring the pot. They were fuming, but couldn’t make up their minds within a
minute and began whispering among themselves
At this point, Veronica spoke up, “Guys, I suggest you take the compensation Embezzlement alone
could land you behind bars for years. You wouldn’t want to drag your kids into this, would you?”
After she finished, her brother Taylor chimed in, “Considering Bernard still has some scruples about
turning on his own family: you better take the buyout and split. He won’t have the patience or time for
your dilly–dallying…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone knew how much these relatives had profited from the Laurence family, but chose to turn a
blind eye because they were “family“. Now that they had pissed off Bernard, there was no good ending
for them. Nevertheless, they were all relatives and didn’t want things to get too awkward, in case they
still faced each other in the future.
They felt embarrassed listening to the younger ones advising them to take the buyout. If they didn’t
take the compensation now, they wouldn’t have a choice and they wouldn’t go to jail. If that happened,
it wouldn’t just be a matter of getting embarrased, but their children would be affected too.
Fine, well take the compensation. But can our children still work in the Laurence Group?”
One of the men was the first to agree, with a condition. As long as their children could still work in the
Laurence Group, the compensation would be enough to last them for generations. Bernard didn’t
respond just glanced at Taylor. The newly appointed Vice President of the board, Taylor, immediately
stepped in. 11 have people conduct risk control checks if they weren’t involved in your crimes, they can
stay If they were, they’re forever banned from the Laurence Group, including their descendants.”
This rule was actually established when the Laurence Group was first founded. It’s just that these
relatives had been profiting from the Laurence Group for so long. They didn’t give a damn about the
company’s rules
