Chapter 60 He Is Getting Engaged to Lexie
Danica was worried that her husband would be upset, so she only sat there for a while before
leaving
Lexie took out her phone and called Joshua, but his phone was off. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She knew that Bria was staying in the Maltz‘s home today, so she called Bria
The answer Lexie got was that Joshua went out in the evening and hadn‘t come back.
It was almost midnight. Where could Joshua go?
Lexiè suddenly remembered when Joshua and Hearst confronted each other at the class reunion. Her heart sank, and she hurried out.
She borrowed Danica‘s car and drove to the vicinity of Anaya‘s house. As expected, Lexie found
Joshua‘s car in a corner.
The car was hidden in the darkness, and she could not see if there was anyone inside.
But no matter what, Lexie could be sure of one thing.
Perhaps Joshua really had feelings for Anaya.
Lexie‘s hands that were holding the steering wheel tightened slightly. She drove around and stopped nearby
It wasn‘t until dawn that Joshua‘s car drove off into the distance.
Lexie stared in the direction Joshua left and gritted her teeth.
She thought, he actually stayed at Anaya‘s house for the whole night!
Why?
What does he see in her?
It seemed that Anaya‘s reputation wasn‘t bad enough.
Lexie must completely ruin Anaya‘s reputation and make Joshua give up on this bitch!
When Joshua returned home, he found that his phone was off.
He found the charger and took off his suit
Jack came forward to take his suit. Joshua asked, “Where is my mother?”
“Mrs. Maltz and Ms. Aucher are having breakfast in the dining room.”
Joshua went back to his room to wash up before heading to the dining room
In the dining room, Cecilia and Bria seemed to be talking about something interesting as they
covered their mouths and laughed.
Seeing Joshua enter, Cecilia put down the freshly squeezed juice and asked casually. “Where did you go last night?”
Joshua pulled out a chair and sat down. The maid standing at the side served him food.
“I had something urgent to do at work. I slept in the company.”
Cecilia felt a little strange but did not ask further and continued the topic with Bria.
Joshua did not touch the breakfast in front of him. He called out to Cecilia, “Mom.”
“Yes?” Cecilia looked at him.
“It‘s nothing.” Joshua looked at Bria but hesitated.
Cecilia noticed Joshua‘s unusual behavior. After breakfast, she sent Bria off on an excuse and sat
on the living room sofa. “Tell me, what‘s up?”
I‘m getting engaged to Lexie,” Joshua said as he sat down opposite Cecilia.
This was his decision after sleeping on it.
Too many things had happened in the month after Joshua divorced Anaya, and he had gone out of
control more than once because of that woman. Joshua attributed all of the abnormal actions to
his possessiveness of Anaya.
Joshua thought that as soon as he settled down with Lexie, he might be able to go through this
phase
After Lezie filled his life, Joshua would no longer think about anything else.
He and Lezie would get married, which was just a matter of time, so there was no harm in getting
engaged earlier.
Hearing this, Cecilia was shocked. She said with a displeased expression, “I don‘t agree. The Dunbar family is just a humble family in Boston. What‘s more, Lexie is an illegitimate daughter.
How can she be married into our family?
Joshua had already expected Cecilia‘s reaction. He calmly said, “Mom, I‘m here to tell you my decision, not to discuss it with you.”
“What‘s with your attitude?” Cecilia reprimanded in a low voice, “When you divorced Anaya, you also didn‘t even ask for my opinion. Do you still think of me as your mother?”
“No matter who I marry, you will always be my mother.”
Both Cecilia and Joshua were stubborn. Cecilia had a different opinion. Even if they sat down calmly to negotiate, it would be difficult for them to reach an agreement.
In that case, Joshua would not talk about it.
“I don‘t think you regard me as your mother at all! If you cared about me, why would you humiliate me over and over again?” Cecilia snapped.
There are so many girls in Boston who come of wealth and are ready to get married. Any one of
them is better than Lexie. You might as well bring Anaya back!
“Anaya is eventually the eldest daughter of the Dutt family. Recently, she has made a lot of
achievements in her work. In the future, she will definitely be able to help you with your career. She
is much better than Lexie!”
“Why did you mention Anaya when we were talking about me and Lexie?” Joshua frowned. “The Maltz family has completely stabilized now. There is no need to rely on marriage to obtain help. I will make the decisions for my marriage myself.”
“Are you so determined to go against me?” Cecilia was so angry that her hands were trembling, and her elegant dress could not hide her anger. “If you insist on marrying her and humiliating me, ! will disown you!”
Joshua stood up and said firmly. “Whether you agree or not, Lexie and I are getting married. You don‘t have to help us with anything. On the day of the engagement, I‘ll send someone to pick you up”
Cecilia was so angry that her chest heaved violently. Joshua asked Jack to tell the kitchen to cook some comforting food for Cecilia for lunch. Then he took his phone and coat and went out.
Just as Joshua was about to call Lexie and tell her about his decision, he received a message from
Alex saying that something had happened to one of the sub–companies and that Joshua needed
to rush over immediately
Joshua hesitated for a moment. He put away his phone and headed straight to the airport.
Forget it, I can tell her after I come back, Joshua thought
He was not in a hurry.
The news that Anaya had taken the agency of McKlein Inc. spread throughout the company. The
faces of Frank and his son were a little ugly at the morning meeting.
In the past month, Anaya had already undertaken several major projects. The attitudes of everyone in the company towards this vice president, who appeared from nowhere, had changed from
contempt at the beginning to admiration. The board of directors had also started to distance
themselves from Frank and Mark and get close to Anaya.
After the meeting, Mark entered Frank‘s office.
*Dad, have you seen Anaya‘s proud face? It‘s just a few projects. What is there for her to be proud of? I will definitely do better than her!”
Frank looked at his good–for–nothing son and wanted to slap him on the head. “In the future? Do you think we still have a future?
“More than half of the shares in this company are already in the hands of Anaya and Adams. Anaya
can now take charge of the company. If Adams gives all his shares to her, we will not stand a
chance!”
In the past, Anaya was slack and had no idea how to manage the company. Adams had never given her the right to manage the company. Instead, he had Frank and Mark help manage the
company.
Frank‘s original plan was to win over the hearts of the people first, and then he would find a way to get the shares from Adams when he was too old to make good decisions.
But in this situation, how could Frank still have a chance?
“Then what should we do? We have been in charge of this company for more than half a year. We can‘t just return it to Grandpa and Anaya for nothing, right?” Mark was a little flustered,
“Of course not! It wasn‘t easy for me to become Acting CEO. I still need to be the CEO first!”
Frank paced back and forth in the office. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped.
The biggest obstacle in his plan was Anaya, and this obstacle would appear eventually because
this woman had divorced and started to care about her career
Since that was the case, wouldn‘t it be fine if Frank found someone to marry Anaya off?
Family affairs would be enough for Anaya to be busy at that time. She would not have the time and
energy to go against Frank.
Frank said, “Your grandfather‘s seventieth birthday is in a few days. Invite Mr. Hank Baker over.”
“What do you have to talk about with that dandy?” Mark was confused,
“We‘ll talk about him getting married.”
