Chapter 620 After Bernardâs speech, a bunch of relatives were left speechless. They didnât see it coming that the big cheese of the Laurence family would be in the know of their shady deals âSure, we did this stuff, but you canât just kick us all out of the Laurence family, right?â
They didnât believe that other folks in the Laurence family hadnât 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 theyâre taken back now, how will we get by?â
The âbig broâ they were referring to was Blake, the father of the Laurence family These relatives were Blakeâs siblings, both close and distant, all part of his generation. Although Blake wasnât the top dog anymore, his word still carried weight Regardless of Bernardâs power, he couldnât just bypass Blake, right? As long as Blake stood up for them, Bernardâs decision would mean squat! It was because of Blakes backup that they dared to play dirty behind the scenes But Blake valued the Laurence familyâs interests more than anyone Anything that harmed the familyâs interests, he wouldnât let slide. Though he didnât 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 familyâs 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, âBernard, weâre all family here, a little lesson is enough. Donât go overboardâ
Bernard gave Blake an indifferent glance, 11 deal with you after Iâm done with them. Donât 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 âYouâve got a minute Ether take the buyout and leave, or be sent to the police station. Your choiceâ
As soon as his words fell the bodyguards in the living room stepped forward, ready to haul anyone who didnât 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 bodyguardsâ icy stares and intimidating presence, were as formidable as Bernardâs, and it made their hearts tremble with fear. They really blew it this time. If they had known better, they would have just attended Bernardâs 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 couldnât make up their minds within a minute and began whispering among themselves At this point, Veronica spoke up, âGuys, I suggest you take the compensation Embezzlement alone could land you behind bars for years. You wouldnât want to drag your kids into this, would you?â
After she finished, her brother Taylor chimed in, âConsidering Bernard still has some scruples about turning on his own family: you better take the buyout and split. He wonât have the patience or time for your dillyâdallying...â
Everyone knew how much these relatives had profited from the Laurence family, but chose to turn a blind eye because they were âfamilyâ. Now that they had pissed off Bernard, there was no good ending for them. Nevertheless, they were all relatives and didnât 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 didnât take the compensation now, they wouldnât have a choice and they wouldnât go to jail. If that happened, it wouldnât 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?â
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 didnât 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 werenât involved in your crimes, they can stay If they were, theyâre forever banned from the Laurence Group, including their descendants.â
This rule was actually established when the Laurence Group was first founded. Itâs just that these relatives had been profiting from the Laurence Group for so long. They didnât give a damn about the companyâs rules
