Chapter 734
The more Monica spoke, the more disgusted she became. “I despise
homewreckers, they’re disgusting. And that woman’s children are just as shameless as their mother, parading around and using the Lancaster name as if they have any right to it.”
“And Anastasia is dating one of them, proud of it instead of being ashamed. That’s just like her! When I become the lady of the Lancaster family, I’ll have them all thrown out!”
Mrs. Scott immediately added with disdain, “You should stay far away from an old classmate like that, Monica. You don’t want her to ruin your reputation!” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net
Mr. Scott agreed.
The conversation then turned back to their failed attempt to see Mr. Harrison Lancaster. Mr. Scott sighed. “Monica, maybe you should talk to Lennon again and ask him for help. The company can’t afford to wait!”
Mr. Scott was fuming about it. There was a project from a Lancaster Group subsidiary that the Scott family’s company should never have been in the running for, given their size. But with Monica’s boyfriend being a ‘Lancaster,’ they had considered it a sure thing.
They had already invested heavily in preparations, only to have the project inexplicably awarded to the Garcia family!
The Scott family couldn’t accept this.
It wasn’t just about losing face; the money they’d already poured into it would be a total loss.
For a small company like theirs, it was a devastating blow!
That’s why they were so desperate to see Mr. Harrison Lancaster. They believed that if they could just mention Monica’s relationship with Lennon, they could get the project back.
And even if they couldn’t, surely Mr. Harrison Lancaster would compensate his future in-laws.
But their plan had failed at the first step!
Mr. Scott was getting anxious and felt they had to beg Lennon for help.

But Monica was reluctant. “Lennon was doing fine at the Lancaster Group before, but he made a small mistake that upset his grandfather, so he’s been temporarily suspended. He’s already feeling down If bother him with this now, ut just make him: angry.”
She had tried bringing it up before, but Lennon had thrown a huge fit, so she didn’t dare mention it again.
Hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Scott sighed anxiously.
They never doubted their daughter’s
story about Lennon being
suspended; it never occurred to
them that the real reason was that Lennon had never worked at the Lancaster Group to begin with. He simply didn’t have the qualifications! Cóntent
The suspension was just an excuse to avoid helping them.
“I’m going to the hospital to see Lennon!” Monica glanced at the time, not nearly as worried about the family business as her parents were.
It was just one project, a temporary loss. Once she married into the Lancaster family and became its matriarch, what would their little company matter?
At the hospital.
Lennon was still laid up with the broken ribs from Harrison’s kick.
Monica walked into his room.
“What are you doing here again?” Lennon asked, annoyed.
He was already stewing with resentment toward Harrison, and Monica’s constant nagging about her family’s company only made it worse. He knew, his own position; he had no power to interfere in Lancaster Group affairs, which made him irritable whenever he saw her.
“Lennon, I came to see you,” Monica said, looking hurt.
