Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 508: What Can Be Done to Make Her Better
Old Master Lawson, Caleb Lawson, coughed twice, then gestured for everyone to sit down.
"This matter, it’s Julian being reckless." Caleb Lawson spoke, "He will be taking a break for some time."
Isla Lawson looked at Caleb Lawson worriedly; the old master’s health had been declining recently.
And now, he had received such a blow.
"Grandpa..." Isla Lawson said worriedly.
Caleb Lawson waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
Seeing this, everyone else exchanged glances secretly.
In fact, some of them had other thoughts coming here this time.
Factions.
It’s something that exists in every company.
In The Lawson Corporation, Julian Lawson was the absolute president, his orders were everything.
But now, Julian Lawson had resigned voluntarily, so the position of president was vacated.
Moreover, seeing Caleb Lawson’s health condition isn’t good either, perhaps he could only be a figurehead.
So, who takes over this lucrative piece of The Lawson Corporation had many people itching to try.
Everyone was thinking of gaining something during this time.
"Old Master, your health is truly not good, I heard you’ve been to the hospital several times recently." Someone spoke up in the crowd.
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
Caleb Lawson didn’t say anything, just looked at them.
"Old Master, I would like to ask, who will be chosen as the next president? Julian has resigned and might face legal issues, and your health is not well."
"Right, The Lawson Corporation cannot go without a leader."
"I think, we should choose an interim president to manage all affairs temporarily, I think Old Man Shepherd would be good."
At first, there was worry and fear, but later, everyone started promoting their own faction of people.
Isla Lawson was furious to the point of being speechless.
But she dared not speak up, after all, among the people being recommended, some were on her father’s side, speaking recklessly would cause trouble.
So she could only look at Caleb Lawson.
"Cough, cough..."
Not knowing how long it had been, suddenly Caleb Lawson let out a cough.
"Julian will return in the future." Caleb Lawson said, "But for now, my son will take charge."
"Your son?"
Everyone was stunned.
Then, the sound of footsteps approached, and the conference room door opened.
A middle-aged man walked in.
His hair was neatly combed, and he wore a crisp suit.
After walking to Caleb Lawson’s side, he stood still.
He nodded first to Caleb Lawson, then glanced around at everyone present and said, "I apologize on behalf of my son to everyone."
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
After standing straight, he said, "I will be in the country for some time, for all affairs, come to me."
Isla Lawson saw him standing there and felt relieved.
This is Julian Lawson’s father, Samuel Langdon.
Having been based overseas for so many years, now that he’s returned, the chaos here can be temporarily suppressed.
Soon, the news of Samuel Langdon’s return to take charge of The Lawson Corporation spread.
The Lawson Corporation’s stock price gradually stabilized.
...
Meanwhile, at the Ford Family.
The three Fords were eating with the old master.
Jasper Ford was eating hurriedly because he planned to check on Serena Sterling later.
They were all very concerned about Serena’s condition and visited her daily.
Seeing Jasper Ford like this, Alexander Ford immediately ridiculed, "What, even impatient while eating with grandpa?"
Jasper Ford’s mood had been sour recently, and Alexander Ford’s remark ignited him instantly.
Jasper Ford angrily shouted, "Alexander, what are you getting at!"
"What could I be getting at?" Alexander Ford mocked, "I just think someone is in for trouble!"
"Speak plainly if you have something to say!" Jasper Ford said.
"No need to be so aggressive." Alexander Ford said with a smirk, looking at the old master, "Grandpa, Third Brother rose by clinging onto others; I’ve told you before, relying on outsiders isn’t good; it’s not going to work, but you wouldn’t listen. Look at now."
Then, spreading his hands, he glanced at Jasper Ford and said, "Serena is on the verge of death, Grandpa. The Third Brother might be reduced to his original self, and the resources you gave him should also be reclaimed."
Old Master Ford didn’t speak, just looked at Jasper Ford.
Jasper Ford stood up in anger.
"Alexander, what I do is none of your business! If I want to lean on someone, that’s my choice!" Jasper Ford seethed with anger, "Besides, Serena is still undergoing treatment, she’s not dead!"
By the time he said the last sentence, his eyes were red.
"Moreover..."
Looking at Alexander Ford smirking triumphantly, Jasper Ford felt it was time for him to take action!
See how he’d continue to be smug!
Fuming, Jasper Ford glanced at Old Master Ford: "Grandpa, I’m done eating, I’ll be heading out now."
Afraid of being misunderstood by Old Master Ford, he added, "I’m going to see Serena."
Looking at Jasper Ford like that, Old Master Ford sighed long and hard, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead."
Jasper Ford then turned to leave, but not before kicking Alexander Ford’s chair as he passed by.
"Bang!"
Alexander Ford fell flat on the floor.
He got up cursing Jasper Ford, but Jasper Ford was already gone.
"Grandpa, look at Third Brother!" Alexander Ford complained to Old Master Ford.
Old Master Ford gave him a look, "You know he’s in a bad mood lately and still provoke him, serves you right."
...
Jasper Ford drove straight to Aeston First Hospital.
He first composed himself a bit, then carried the fruit basket he had bought upstairs to Serena’s ward.
But just as he arrived, he heard the sharp sound of beeping.
Immediately, numerous medical staff rushed inside.
Panicked, Jasper Ford went in to check too.
The next moment, the ICU door opened, and the medical staff wheeled Serena urgently towards the emergency room. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Following closely behind was Silas Hawthorne, who was supporting himself against the wall as he came out.
"Silas!" Jasper Ford immediately went to support Silas Hawthorne.
But he found that Silas Hawthorne was trembling.
Jasper Ford was taken aback and dared not speak.
They all reached outside the emergency room, and Jasper Ford glanced at Silas Hawthorne again.
Silas Hawthorne’s face was pale, and in his features, there were only those bloodshot eyes left.
His body was still shaking, violently.
"Serena..." Silas Hawthorne looked at the emergency room door.
Just now, Serena’s heart had stopped again, and her organs were showing signs of failure.
In his dark pupils, there was only panic.
Only fear.
What should he do?
What should he do...
Silas Hawthorne closed his eyes.
He hated this feeling of helplessness, loathed this feeling of helplessness!
The feeling of powerlessness.
For so many days, over and over, over and over, and this time, the doctors had already noticed signs of her organ failure.
What about next time?
The situation continued to deteriorate...
If this continues, she might really die.
Death...
Thinking of this possibility, Silas Hawthorne felt a blackness in front of his eyes, the pain making it almost impossible to breathe.
He looked at the emergency room door, pondering what he could do next?
