Semua Bab Gosh! My Silly Husband Is a Rich Boss: Bab 861 - Bab 870

Will said angrily from the other side of the phone, “I’m already helping you! I’ve been trying to defend you every day, but the old farts on the board are being surprisingly stubborn. I don’t know what’s up with them!”“The Brooks Corporation belongs to our family, doesn’t it? What right do they have to intervene? Even if I used the company’s funds, that’s still our family business. Why are they interfering?!” Mariette said in a huff.“I told you to learn on the job, but you wouldn’t listen! There’s no use complaining now. Your grandfather may have singlehandedly funded the corporation, but we’re not the only shareholders. Every one of your grandfather’s old comrades had a portion of the shares. Before Maxwell died, we still had his shares, so our family had the majority.“After he died, his shares were donated to charity, and then your Uncle Welson sold off some of his. Now, the other old coots have more total shares than I do. I might be the chairman, but I’m not the only decision

Mariette was stunned for a second, then she glared at Maxwell. “Aren’t you getting a bit too big for your breeches, Maxwell? How could you talk back to me?”Back when Maxwell had the mind of a child, he would cower whenever she raised her voice. The way he was right now was not cute at all.Maxwell’s smile instantly disappeared, and his expression turned dark. He looked at Mariette with a sharp gaze.Mariette shuddered inexplicably. What was going on? Why did Maxwell feel a little scary? She had been planning to tell him off, but her voice died in her throat.Maxwell stared at her with a glint of danger in his eyes. “You had better come clean with me, Mariette Brooks. Do you still have that Armani scarf, or don’t you?!”“I-I’ll check. I haven’t worn it in a while,” Mariette said, instinctively giving in.She searched through her closet carefully and then looked at Maxwell, her expression troubled. “I can’t seem to find it. I think I lost it.”“Where did you lose it?” Maxwell sai

“I’ll find an appropriate time to talk to her.”Maxwell was annoyed at the thought that Sonnet might be mad at him for cheating on her.…Sonnet received a call from Lindy at two o’clock in the afternoon, and Lindy’s voice on the other side of the phone sounded very excited. “Sonnet, I have some amazing news for you!”A smile appeared on the corner of Sonnet’s lips. “What is it? You sound so excited.”“Maxwell isn’t dead, he’s back! He’s back!” Lindy’s voice raised several octaves. “He didn’t die from that big explosion! He’s back!”Sonnet was silent for a while. Then, she asked, “How do you know?”Lindy was so excited that she did not pay attention to Sonnet’s indifference. “Marcus called me and asked me to go to his office to report something, so I went. And when I got there, I saw Maxwell!“There are also some social news reporters here. Marcus asked me to come over to let me report that the second young master of the Brooks family, Maxwell, is not dead and is back!“I deci

Sonnet laughed. “How is that possible? Even if I agree, Uncle Johnson won’t agree.”‘Who wants to force their way into someone else’s family?’“What if Uncle Johnson agrees? I can convince him that I don’t want to be separated from him,” Lune insisted.“Then you can give it a try and see what Uncle Johnson has to say,” Sonnet said helplessly.Instead of dissuading Lune, Sonnet would let her try. She thought about it and decided that Johnson couldn’t possibly agree to live with them in the old house. If Lune failed with Johnson, she would probably not be so stubborn.Lune’s mood improved slightly.Not long after they got home, Lindy brought Maxwell home, along with Marcus.Both Myles and Sophia were very surprised. The whole family sat at the dinner table and asked Maxwell what happened.Maxwell started from the fact that he found an underground water pipe at the scene of the fire. Then, he briefly said that he was seriously injured, and he just recovered after more than a year

After thinking about it, she called Johnson and the call went through quickly.“Sonnet?”Sonnet heard a ‘beep’ in the background of the phone call that felt a little familiar, but she could not remember what it was.She did not think much about it and said to Johnson, “It’s so late, are you not home yet?”“Oh, I’m going to my friend’s place, so I’ll be back later. Do you need anything?”“Yeah, there is something I want to talk to you about. When will you be free?”There was silence on the other side of the phone. Shortly, Johnson asked, “Is it something important?”“Yeah, my husband is back, so I want to talk to you about your relationship with the children in the future,” Sonnet told him the truth directly.Then she asked again, “When will you be free?”“Tomorrow, I’ll be home before ten o’clock tomorrow morning.”“Great.”After hanging up the phone, Sonnet walked upstairs. When she opened the door, she heard the ‘beep’ from the fingerprint lock.Something clicked in her h
