Since that day, Lawrence had been missing for several days.
She asked his closest friends about his whereabouts, but they couldn't help teasing her, "Where has your husband gone? Don't you know?"
Susie gave a bitter smile. She really didn't know.
As his wife, she had become nothing more than a figurehead.
In the past, no matter where he went, he would always tell her, never leaving her unable to find him.
If she went out, she had to inform him too. If she forgot and he couldn't find her, he would scold her.
"Susie, don't ever make me look for you again. I worry about you! If I can't find you again, I'll break your legs, so you can't go anywhere!"
Susie's eyes reddened.
That was in the past. Does he still care about her now?
When she asked his friends about Rachel's whereabouts, they all fell silent, not daring to say anything or reveal any information.
Lawrence was afraid she would harm that woman, so he protected her well, making it impossible for Susie to find her.
Her heart ached sharply.
After thinking for several days, she decided they should have a good talk. No matter what, she didn't want their family to fall apart like this.
But she couldn't find him anywhere, and his phone was turned off.
The company was also facing trouble recently. Her father was busy from dawn till dusk, worn out with work, but still, Lawrence was nowhere to be seen.
...
That day, Lawrence returned to the company. She received the notice and rushed there in a hurry.
As soon as she reached the office door, she heard arguing from inside.
"Lawrence, what is going on?" David's voice was filled with disbelief and questioning.
"Mr. Morris, as you can see, Morris Inc. is facing a financial deficit and is on the verge of bankruptcy." Lawrence's voice was chillingly cold, devoid of any emotion.
"It was me who did this!"
"Scoundrel!" David, furious, slammed his fist on the desk, glaring at the now unfamiliar, cold-blooded man in front of him.
"Why did you do this? Haven't I treated you well? Why?"
He couldn't understand. Morris Inc. had been entrusted to Lawrence. Why was he now trying to destroy the Morris Group?
David couldn't comprehend Lawrence's sudden betrayal.
"Why? You should ask yourself!" Lawrence sneered, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at David, "Six years ago, do you remember what happened? You must have forgotten everything!"
"Six years ago?" David still couldn't recall anything, looking at Lawrence in confusion. But the hatred in Lawrence's eyes was unmistakable.
Lawrence hated him!
Lawrence's gaze was as sharp as a blade, coldly staring at David. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Leo was my father!"
David's eyes widened, his body swayed, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You are Leo's child?"
Lawrence coldly looked at him.
No wonder!
"You are his child..."
So it was to avenge Leo. Leo had died six years ago.
David, heavily hit, collapsed into the chair, suddenly looking much older.
"Does Susie know?"
Lawrence's face was nothing but ice, without a hint of emotion.
"She will know eventually!"
From the moment he decided to seek revenge, he never planned to hide it from her forever. She would find out one day.
But Susie was the person he least wanted to hurt.
Would she hate him when she found out?
Six years ago, his father's company had been suppressed by Morris Inc., leading to financial collapse, facing bankruptcy, crushed by debt. His father, finding no way out, finally committed suicide. His mother, shocked, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died shortly after.
If it weren't for Morris Inc.'s suppression, his family wouldn't have fallen apart. The culprit was Morris Inc. and David.
If it weren't for his ambitious schemes, setting traps to acquire the company, deliberately bankrupting his father's company, none of this would have happened.
Thinking of this, Lawrence's eyes turned colder, the hatred in him growing stronger, and the veins on his tightly clenched fists bulged.
