Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 447: The Sea Once Watched Together Now Has Only Him Left

Chapter 447: Chapter 447: The Sea Once Watched Together Now Has Only Him Left

Jasper Ford silently noted that for his wedding with Gigi Sutton in the future, they must choose this company, as June Hawthorne had praised it highly.

A few people chatted there.

On the other side.

Overseas.

Julian Lawson was now able to walk without a wheelchair.

He glanced at the messages on his phone, frowning slightly.

What exactly has Isla Lawson been up to while he’s away on a business trip!

When Jasper Ford called to question him angrily, he was bewildered.

He had already contacted the domestic side to handle it, but just now, Jude Chaucer’s call came through.

"President Lawson, Miss Sheridan has already resolved the issue herself," Jude Chaucer’s voice came through.

At that moment, he was standing by the sea.

The sea breeze ruffled his hair slightly.

The seawater washed over the rocks, and he gazed out at the vast ocean.

He remembered that the last time he was here, the person standing beside him was her.

Julian Lawson closed his eyes.

He recalled the blue dress she wore then, and how her long hair danced freely in the sea breeze.

And those eyes of hers, curving in a smile, sparkling when looking at him, her gaze filled entirely with his reflection.

His heart began to ache faintly again.

What would she think of him?

Does she believe that this matter was orchestrated by him?

Julian Lawson tightened his grip on the phone.

He wanted to call her, but then he remembered he was already blocked.

Even if he changed numbers, she wouldn’t pick up.

He knew, at this moment, she wouldn’t want to hear his voice.

The sea breeze continued to blow.

Waves rolled layer upon layer, and a small boat drifted on the distant sea, swaying with the waves.

Just like the small boat they once escaped from Zetania on.

Once, in the cramped and cold cabin, they held each other tightly, with the uncertain fate ahead, there was only each other.

...

Aeston.

The Lawson Estate, Moonlight Manor.

Old Master Lawson, Caleb Lawson, had been resting at home recently.

With an unexpected situation abroad requiring Julian Lawson to personally attend, he was the one holding fort here.

But his health had not been good lately, so only important matters were reported to him, while routine affairs were handled by others.

The Lawson Corporation had a mature system, operating well over the years, so unless there was a major issue, there was no need for him to worry.

"Cough cough..."

Caleb Lawson coughed twice more.

The old lady came in with a bowl of nurturing traditional medicine, placed it on the table beside him, helped him sit up, and gently soothed his breath.

"Look at you," the old lady said helplessly, "not taking any care, we’re both old now, get sick, and it takes ten days to half a month to recuperate."

"Sigh..." Caleb Lawson sighed long, "I’m old, can’t help it, back when Serena was around..."

At this point, Caleb Lawson stopped speaking.

The old lady said nothing, just placed a pillow behind Caleb Lawson to make him comfortable.

With the vast Lawson Family and many caregivers, maids, and family doctors at the estate,

it was still Serena who was the most attentive.

There’s a difference between working just for a salary and sincerely taking care of family.

Serena, with Sheila Jenkins who wasn’t particularly close to her, truly cared for them as her own family when she was around.

She even learned nursing skills to take better care of them.

Only unfortunately...

"Sometimes I think, if Serena could come back, it would be great," Caleb Lawson said.

The old lady nodded but then sighed long again.

"She’s getting married to that boy from the Hawthorne Family," the old lady said.

Caleb Lawson shook his head helplessly.

"Here, drink it," the old lady handed the medicine over for Caleb Lawson to drink.

The illness had passed; this was for body nourishment.

It was very bitter.

Caleb Lawson held his breath and gulped it down.

Just as he was recovering, the phone beside him rang.

Caleb Lawson took a glance; it was a call from Mr. Chaucer.

He wiped his mouth with a tissue and took the phone, touching the answer button.

"Mr. Chaucer, what’s the matter?" Caleb Lawson asked.

"Mr. Lawson, I have something to ask you," Mr. Chaucer said mysteriously.

"Go ahead," Caleb Lawson replied but felt a sense of foreboding.

"Is the Lawson Family going to wage war against the Ford and Hawthorne Families?" Mr. Chaucer continued to ask for permission.

"War?" Caleb Lawson found it puzzling, "What are you talking about, why would there be a war?"

Over the years, while The Lawson Corporation was the leader among the three giants in Aeston, it was only slightly ahead; the three curbed each other, impossible to completely crush any one.

Without absolute confidence, when life was currently good, why invite trouble?

"Then why did the Lawson Family take action against Aether?" Mr. Chaucer immediately asked.

Caleb Lawson wondered what nonsense this was.

Why would they take action against Aether?

He knew about Aether, said that Serena and Jasper Ford had invested in it, it was recently stirring waves, and The Lawson Corporation was planning to follow up on it.

"No, where did you get such misinformation?" Caleb Lawson asked, thinking.

"You don’t know?" Mr. Chaucer’s voice was full of surprise, "Just today, it happened, they said the Lawson Family took action, and Aether almost went under, touching the interests of the other two families, and they had people to solve it."

"What?!"

Caleb Lawson sat upright suddenly.

Rising too fast, he couldn’t help but cough for a while.

Currently, the three sides were entrenched, the best scenario was to fight separately; Silas Hawthorne and Jasper Ford were in close communication, but that’s only Jasper, one of the three sons of the Ford Family, the junior, but Aether was a project of interest to the Ford Group. If one incident caused the other two to unite, then the Lawson Family would be in dire straits.

After a string of coughs, Caleb Lawson finally stopped.

"What happened? Tell me in detail," Caleb Lawson asked.

"Oh, I can’t explain clearly, I’ll pull you into the video call, they know more," Mr. Chaucer said and hung up.

After a while, Caleb Lawson received a link.

Caleb Lawson didn’t click it immediately but looked at the old lady beside him.

"You heard, go check, see what in the world happened," Caleb Lawson said.

The old lady nodded and immediately sent the task down.

And Caleb Lawson clicked on the link.

It redirected to an online video call.

Upon entering, he heard voices inside.

"Mr. Lawson’s here?"

"Mr. Lawson, we were just mentioning something about your family, what happened with the Lawson Family?"

...

Everyone chipped in a word, and the situation became clear.

On the other side, the old lady quickly delivered the investigation results to Caleb Lawson’s bedside. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Caleb Lawson looked at the results displayed on the tablet.

Clearly written were the things Isla Lawson did while he was recuperating at home.

Caleb Lawson could hardly believe his eyes.
