Lawrence’s grandmother had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease since she was 75 years old, and had reached the stage of severe memory loss, so she didn’t even know who Lawrence was.
However, Lawrence’s behavior still had an effect. Friends and family around him began to praise him.
“I never thought Lawrence would be so good to his grandmother. People with filial piety like him are rare.”
“I watched Lawrence grow up since he was little. Not to brag, but his future is limitless. Any girl who marries him will definitely have endless blessings.”
“Maddox, I think this kid Lawrence will definitely be more successful than you in the future!”
“That’s for sure…”
The flattery of everyone fell into Lawrence’s ears and made his face bloom.
Honestly speaking, this feeling of being praised felt great.
After presenting his gift for her birthday celebration, the banquet proceeded as planned with laughter and joy filling the entire hall.
However, this pleasant atmosphere did not last long. The doors of the banquet hall were pushed open from the outside.
Several men wearing white uniforms walked in and went straight to Lawrence’s father, Maddox. One of them spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion, “You’re Maddox Lytton, right? I’m from the Discipline Inspection Commission. Come with us.”
After speaking, the man reached into his pocket and handed a document to Maddox.
Maddox was directly stunned, unable to react immediately to what was happening.
But Lawrence quickly realized what was going on and stood up angrily, shouting, “Today is my grandmother’s birthday celebration. What is the meaning of this? My father is clean. What has he done?”
The leader of the men replied coldly, “We received a report, and for now, we are only asking your father to come with us for investigation. Please cooperate.”
Lawrence stood in front of Maddox, refusing, “My father hasn’t done anything wrong. You can’t take him away!”
At that moment, Gabriel, who was sitting next to Maddox, received a phone call.
Gabriel took out his phone and answered. A man’s voice came through the phone, “Mr. Lytton, I am Oskar Owen from the Human Resources Department. You have been terminated from our company. Please come to the office within three working days to complete the termination procedures.”
Gabriel’s mind exploded, and he shouted, “Mr. Owen, what are you saying? Why am I being fired?!”
Gabriel had worked for over ten years and had finally climbed to the position of marketing manager. If he was fired, it would be no different from becoming a destitute man. There was also a very serious problem: after being fired, he would have to deal with his mortgage and the money for his child’s overseas education…
The person on the other end of the phone had already hung up, and all Gabriel could hear was the busy tone.
As the saying goes, misfortune never comes alone. Just as a group of people entered the banquet hall from outside, there were also police officers among them.
Their target was Ronan, the CEO of Starlight Real Estate and Lawrence’s uncle.
“Ronan, you are suspected of bribery and illegal bidding. Come with us!” The leading police officer showed his identification.
Ronan’s vision darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.
Then, a man wearing a decent suit and with waxed hair rushed into the banquet hall. He first scanned the hall and then walked quickly to Deborah’s side, saying, “Mr. Lytton, on behalf of Eternal Grace Company, we are terminating the previously planned strategic cooperation agreement between us and Ocean Abundance Company. Here is the termination document…”
The successive events happening before their eyes made the guests at the celebration widen their eyes in astonishment, their expressions filled with disbelief.
They could understand that someone deliberately targeted the Lytton family, and the person behind it was incredibly powerful!
“All four siblings of the Lytton family have been caught in one fell swoop. My goodness, who have they offended?”
“I think the Lytton family is in big trouble this time. I estimate it won’t be long before they fall apart.”
“I’ve said it before, the Lytton family acts too ostentatiously, and they were bound to get into trouble sooner or later. Now karma has caught up with them. Tsk tsk…”
After a brief moment of surprise, the guests began to quietly discuss among themselves.
Lawrence was now trembling with fear, carefully recalling that he hadn’t offended anyone recently.
No, that wasn’t right. He had offended someone-Leo!
But that couldn’t be possible. How could a freeloading son-in-law have such great power?
“It’s impossible, it definitely can’t be Leo…” Lawrence muttered to himself like he had suddenly gone insane.
“Who is Lawrence Lytton?”
A man’s voice suddenly rang out.
Looking in the direction of the voice, three men wearing tax bureau uniforms walked in through the main gate.
Lawrence was so frightened that he trembled and turned to run towards the fire exit of the banquet hall.
After escaping the hotel, Lawrence didn’t dare to drive his own car and flagged down a taxi on the road, heading straight to the Clinic.
Although Lawrence didn’t believe Leo had such great power, his intuition told him that regardless of whether Leo was responsible for all this, he couldn’t escape involvement.
The only thing he could do now was to find Leo and beg for mercy face to face.
Bursting into the Clinic, when Lawrence saw Leo, he immediately knelt down in front of him and tearfully pleaded, “Leo, no, Leo, I was wrong, please spare me.”
Leo was taken aback by Lawrence’s inexplicable behavior, deeply suspecting that this guy’s head might be messed up or that he had taken the wrong medicine today.
Because Leo didn’t answer Baldwin’s call, he was completely unaware of what Baldwin had done.
The patients in the clinic were also puzzled by the situation and thought a lunatic had suddenly appeared from somewhere.
“Leo, I’ll bark like a dog for you, please spare our whole family, woof woof woof!”
“Mr. Lytton, what play are you performing?” Leo asked in surprise.
“Leo, please spare me… woof woof woof!” Lawrence’s face was covered in tears. From childhood to adulthood, he had never experienced such helplessness and grief.
Their once happy family had been completely ruined by his actions.
Before Leo could say anything, several men in uniforms suddenly rushed in from outside and dragged Lawrence away.
These men were the same ones who had come to the banquet hall to capture Lawrence earlier.
“Leo, have mercy! Have mercy!” Lawrence pleaded with Leo as he was being taken away.
Unfortunately, Leo looked bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening and feeling puzzled.
Just a while ago, Lawrence had been so arrogant and now he had become so destitute.
Alas, he had brought this upon himself and couldn’t live a peaceful life.
Within the next hour, all major department stores received simultaneous notifications from the enforcement authorities, ordering the immediate permanent removal of all counterfeit Visage Beauty products from the market.
