Chapter 63

Chapter 63 No way!?

Aubree and her daughter were both stunned. One forgot to be angry, the other forgot to cry.

“Joseph! You’re rebelling!” Jake was so angry that his blood pressure rose. This illegitimate child, who had always been unfavored, rarely went against his thoughts ever since he was young. How did he become the president now? His wings were gradually growing. He actually dared to say “no” to him?

Joseph was stunned. He did not expect that he would be so resistant. “What the hell are you thinking? You were the one who said that you wanted to divorce Raya! The one who insisted on marrying Grace was also you!”

“Now I want you to divorce Raya immediately, but you say no? What do you think marriage is? A child’s play? How did I raise a son like you who hasn’t improved!”

“Shaking left and right without improving? Ha, that’s right.”

Joseph was also suddenly provoked. He squinted his starry eyes and mocked, “Because we are father and son. The son should be like the father.”

“Vile spawn!”

Jake was so angry that he was like a barrel of gunpowder that was about to explode. He rushed over and swung his arm to slap him!

This slap was so loud that it frightened Skyler.

Joseph’s cold and pale face was immediately imprinted with a palm print.

“Aiya, Jake! If you have something to say, say it nicely! Don’t hit the child with your hands!” Joseph was young and angry, so it was inevitable for him to be a little rude when he spoke. It was not worth it for you to hurt the harmony of father and son with your hands!”

Aubree quickly came up to support Jake, but she secretly sneered in her heart. She only felt that she had vented her anger and was very happy.

“Aubree! I know you are a kind mother. You have regarded this stinky boy as your own since you were a child. But you spoil him too much. You don’t dare to hit him or scold him. Look at him now! You are simply 1/5 17:39 A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex-Husband spoiling him!” Jake’s palm was numb, and his face was even redder than Joseph’s.

“In my eyes, he will always be a child. Besides... I am not his biological mother after all. It is not so easy for Joseph to accept me.”

“If I don’t treat him better, won’t I be more estranged from the child... I just want to be a good mother.” Aubree said, and her eyes were shining. She was so pitiful.

These words seemed to show weakness, but in fact, every sentence was adding fuel to the fire!

Joseph coldly twitched his thin lips. He had seen this kind of trick since he was a child. He had seen through it, but he never said it.

Because he knew that Jake did not care about his son at all. If his eldest brother had not been recuperating in Nialzuct all year round, the position of president would not have been his turn.

He was never going to be favored.

“Child? He’s already thirty! Don’t find excuses for him!”

Jake pointed at Joseph’s face and roared, “Two things, you have to do it right away tomorrow!”

“First, immediately get a divorce with Raya and ask her to apologize to Skyler in person!”

“Second, immediately suppress the hot search of Skyler on twitter and quell this storm!”

“Dad, when you were negotiating with someone on the business court, did you also slap someone first before mentioning the conditions?”

“You... What did you say?” Jake was stunned.

“Even if we are biological father and son, we should settle accounts clearly. Especially when it concerns the interests of the group, it is even more impossible for me to compromise.”

“Raya and I can’t divorce for the time being, because I promised my grandfather that I would wait for his eightieth birthday before officially divorce. I can’t break my promise.”

“As for the negative news on the Internet, my method is to let my third sister publicly apologize. Other than that, I won’t do anything to deal with it.”

“Joseph! You!”

275 17:39 Jake’s eyes were red, and he raised his hand high again, but just as the slap was about to land, it was suddenly grabbed by Joseph.

“Dad, I’m already thirty years old. Do you think you can still beat me?” The man’s eyes surged with coldness.

Jake’s pupils contracted as he felt a dull pain in his wrist.

“No! I don’t want to apologize! No matter what you say, I won’t apologize!” Skyler began to cry and make a scene again.

“Max, come in.”

Joseph’s magnetic voice rose. Max, who was waiting outside, knocked on the door and entered the study room. He bowed respectfully.

“Take out the documents and let the chairman have a look.”

“Yes, Mr. Sawle.”

Max’s eyes flashed a little, but he still handed the prepared materials to Jake.

“What is it?”

“This is the EV boutique jointly run by Aunt Bell and Third Sister. This year and last year’s financial reports.” Joseph’s handsome face was calm and his voice was flat.

Aubree and Skyler’s nerves were tense, and their faces were stiff.

“It shows that it has been three years since the establishment of the boutique store. In the past three years, it has suffered close to ten million losses every year. Moreover, the operating expenses every year are all drawn from the company’s internal funds.”

The boutique has already been signed since the establishment of the company. Since the company that made money can’t benefit from it, the company that made a loss has no reason to help them fix this hole.

After saying that, Joseph lowered his cold long eyelashes, “If third sister doesn’t come forward to apologize, then I’ll have to do my part to uphold my president’s authority and shut down their unprofitable boutique.”

What? Close the store?

Skyler was so scared that she was dumbstruck, and Aubree was so angry that her eyes turned red.

The viciousness in her eyes disappeared in an instant. She suddenly hugged Jake’s arm and cried, “Jake! The boutique is your birthday gift to me three years ago! How can you close it?”

17:39 A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex-Husband Jake’s lower jaw was extremely tight. Looking at the evidence in front of him, even though he was the chairman of the group, he could not refute his son for a moment!

“I can turn a blind eye to this matter for your sake. But, the premise is that third sister must publicly apologize. Aunt Bell must make up for the set-up of the boutique store for three years from the company’s embezzlement of public funds.”

“Otherwise, I will announce this matter on the day after tomorrow’s Group Assembly. At that time, no matter who it is, I am afraid it will be useless.” Joseph’s eyes were full of coldness.

Aubree glared at this stepson with hatred.

She must not close the premium store! She still had to rely on it to play a big game of chess!

“Skyler, you will hold a press conference tomorrow night and do as your second brother says.” Jake frowned heavily.

Skyler’s shoulders collapsed, and her entire person was like an eggplant that had been struck by frost. She didn’t have the strength to refute at all. Aubree looked at Jake’s gradually darkening expression. She knew that she had lost completely in this battle. She could only think about it carefully. Her hateful eyes couldn’t wait to cut Joseph’s back into pieces! As soon as Joseph and Max left the study, the sound of Jake smashing things came from inside, and Aunt Bell and her daughter crying.

Max scratched his head in confusion and asked tentatively, “Mr. Sawle, didn’t you... decide to fight to death with Young Madam?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

“Don’t meddle in my affairs.”

Raya’s watery eyes suddenly appeared in front of Joseph’s eyes, and the fragrance she breathed lightly when he got close to her.

His eyes, as cold as ice, were a little confused.

He tried to convince himself that he had changed his mind at the last minute because he had watched the surveillance video and heard Skyler’s shameless boasting. But was this truth?

When Aubree and her daughter accused Raya and Jake forced him to divorce, why did he have such a big reaction? There was really no hidden selfishness in this?

“Mr. Sawle, the evidence we gathered with great difficulty was released 17:39 A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex-Husband just like this, just to let the third sister apologize... Isn’t it a bit of a loss?” Max curled his lips, still somewhat difficult to calm down.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I let this matter out, the chairman still has ways to cover up for Aubree. Are they deeply in love?”

Joseph coldly mocked. He brushed Raya’s beautiful eyes away from his mind. His eyes were deep and quiet. “I just chose a result that both her and I can get along with.”

“After all, I wrongly blamed her for what happened at the last auction because of Grace.”

“This time, I will repay her. I don’t want to owe her anything.” The man sighed.
