Chapter 28
Octavia said agitatedly, “I can accept you kicking us out for the sake of the Lockes’ reputation, but will it really solve the problem? Thedus is still a Locke, after all. The Lockes will still be disgraced if something like this happened, not to mention that we’re currently discussing a collaboration with MUK. If the collaboration fails because of this negative news… our loss will outweigh our gain!”
“I know that the media won’t believe me when I say this, but Jeanne can help Thedus put in a good word in front of the media. If even his fiancée can forgive him, what reason does anyone else have to blame him? When the time comes, we’ll bribe some of the media, internet celebrities, professional ghostwriters, and so on. Public opinion will soon pass.”
Thedus held a piece of agreement paper and read it out loud, “First, after Jeanne becomes a Locke, she must follow the arrangements of the Lockes. Don’t put on the airs of a young lady. She must be obedient, assist her husband, and educate her children;
“Secondly, after Jeanne becomes a Locke, she must immediately give birth to a child. Although the Lockes already have a grandson, as the saying goes, children have many blessings. Therefore, Jeanne must give birth again until she gives birth to a boy;
At this moment, Alexander could not persuade Damian any further. No matter what, Thedus’ behavior of womanizing had also damaged the Lawrences’ image. If he appeared to not care about it at all, it would drag down his family’s status.
Octavia also knew that this was a serious matter. If Damian wanted to kick them out for the sake of the Lockes’ reputation… She had a sudden idea, so she said, “I have a way to redeem Thedus’ image and save the Lockes’ reputation.”
He hung up the phone and fiercely glared at Thedus. “Thedus, what good deed have you done?! Didn’t you learn your lesson the last time you went to jail?! I’ll beat you to death, you son of a b*tch!”
Octavia said, “As the saying goes, a prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold. We just need to tell the media that the other party used seduced Thedus and that he’s very regretful now—”
“Fourthly, after Jeanne becomes a Locke, George had to change his family name to Locke. In the future, he’ll be a member of the Lockes. Of course, he has to respect and be filial to the Lockes!
The terms and conditions stated clearly that she had to be obedient and give birth to a son. She would not be allowed to pry the Lockes’ assets, and George would be a grandson of the Lockes!
Damian was furious. “Everyone on the internet is posting news about you now, Thedus, saying that you’ve never changed! They even said that our family will be ruined by you sooner or later!”
“Thirdly, after Jeanne becomes a Locke, she’s not allowed to interfere with all the businesses of the Lockes. The Lockes are capable and don’t need a woman to show her face in public;
He knew that Jeanne was just pretending to be aloof. She was a divorced woman. She should be grateful about being able to get married again and be a part of his prestigious family!
“Enough!” Damian interrupted him. “You son of a b*tch, I shouldn’t have bailed you out of prison in the first place! I’ll beat you to death! I’ll beat you to death, you b*stard!”
Thedus was hit a few times, so he was very upset. He said angrily, “You can’t blame me for all this! I told Mom, and she didn’t object to me going out to find another woman…”
“Dad!” Thedus heard Damian’s determined tone and was shocked at that moment. He gave in right away. “Dad, don’t kick me out. I won’t do it again. I swear I won’t do it again!”
