I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Threatening Her Son With Her Own Life

Zane's face stiffened again, but he didn't say anything. Her phone started to ring.

Zane glanced at the caller ID. It was Lucia's number.

Zane probably knew why Lucia was calling him and hesitated a little before answering the phone.

"Mom."

"Yanis and I are on our way back to the Lawrence's Manson. Come back here!"

Without waiting for Zane to say anything, Lucia hung up on him.

After Zane hung up, Albi added, "Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence went to the mall and

slapped her."

"You take care of that Internet thing."

Zane didn't say much, turned around, and left the office.

Albi hurried to contact a publicist to deal with the online problems.

It was just that as soon as the story came out, there were massive retweets and publicity. It seemed hard to remove all of them in such a short time.

And the people involved in this news were all well-known people.

Even because of this incident, Zane and Neve had been exposed again.

Yanis, Zane, Neve, Ivan, and Iris accounted for more than half of the hot searches.

There were even pictures of Iris and Yanis, and Zane and Neve together at the mall gate yesterday.

Plus, the picture of Anna.

With the rumors going around, Yanis was almost identified as the mistress who broke people's relationships.

...

In the hospital.

Bonnie got cranky when she saw all the trending online searches.

"You tell Haider to get someone to take care of you, and I'll go to find Yanis."

Bonnie put her phone away and got up to find Yanis.

Myles grabbed Bonnie. "It doesn't matter if you're there, and there are too many people involved. Whether the Duncan family or the Baxter family, they will speak up for this. What are you going to do?"

Bonnie was scared to pull Myles' wound again, looking at him gravely, "You let me go. If I don't go to find her, how can she face the Lawrence family alone?"

"After you get there, what can you do?"

Bonnie bit her lip. "Myles, I said I'd be there for Yanis through everything, and I'm going to be there for Yanis because she has no one else to defend her but me!"

Myles was stunned.

Myles had heard something about Yanis from Bonnie and had known some of Yanis's situation over the years.

The Thompson family generally ignored Yanis and even asked her for money from time to time, giving her a hard time.

As Bonnie said, if she won't go, Yanis was on her own.

Mrs. Lawrence was not that kind either, as far as Myles knew.

But if Bonnie went, not only would she not be able to protect Yanis the way she wanted to, she would get hurt.

Myles gritted his teeth and got out of bed. "If you're going, I'll go with you."

When Myles got up, Bonnie was shocked. "What are you doing??"

Myles took the needle out of his hand. "I will accompany you to defend your best friend."

Listening to his words, Bonnie was stunned slightly. She pressed him to the bedside and sat down. Then she reached out and rang the bell. "Who asked you to do that? If we get in a fight, are you able to beat that scumbag?"

Normally Myles would have said, "we'll find out when we fight then."

But he couldn't right now, and he was unlikely to be a match for either Zane or Bonnie.

So, Myles remained silent.

When the nurse came in, Bonnie told the nurse to reattach Myles' needle. "I'll go, and I won't go inside, only wait for her outside."

"So, I'll have my people to go with you? What if they bully you?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think that I'm going to fight? If I bring your people, maybe before I could say anything, that old lady will call the cops."

Myles looked at her for a moment. "Then call my brother if you need anything. He and Zane have done business together. He can help if anything happens."

"I know. Don't worry about it. Just lie down."

Bonnie got Myles settled and hurried out of the room.

While she was walking, she called Yanis.

The phone went through, but no one answered.

It was the third time that Bonnie dialed the number, Yanis answered, "Bonnie?"

"Yanis! How are you? How could that bastard Antonio hit you?"

"I'm fine. Your car is parked in Linen Bay, and your keys are at home. The password is my birthday. You go to take the car and come to pick me up later at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Bonnie was ready to yell at Yanis, but after a few seconds of silence, she said, "you guys... are going to get a divorce?"

Yanis grunted, "yes, even if I don't go, it's impossible."

"What about that scumbag?"

"There's no turning back for him. He's not going to risk his mother's life for this."

Bonnie was shocked when she heard this and asked, "is that old woman threatening her son with her life?"

Yanis didn't know how to respond to Bonnie's question for a moment.

"So, I'll go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau and wait for you there, ok?"

Yanis hesitated for a few seconds, "Or you should wait for me until I text you later, ok?"

Bonnie grunted, "are you sure you're all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Bonnie made sure that she was fine and calmed down. "I'll go take the car in Linen Bay and wait for you to text me."

Yanis responded, "ok, I'm going to hang up. He's back."

"Ok."

...

The Lawrence's Manson.

By the time Zane got home, the Lawrence Manson was full of people in the living room.

Everyone was there except for Phoebe's family and Anika, who hadn't returned from a check-up at the South Hospital.

Yanis sat at the end of the row with an unapologetic look on her face.

Sophia took the ice pack and handed it to Yanis. "Lady Yanis," she whispered, "you can apply it."

Yanis said, "thanks, Sophia, it's OK. I'll be all right in a minute."

Sophia wanted to say something, but Lucia's voice arose, "Sophia, go do your job. Get out of here!"

Catherine gave Lucia a look of disapproval.

Lucia ignored Catherine and looked at Zane. "Zane, where's your marriage certificate? Go get it. We're going to the Civil Affairs Bureau now. I've arranged an appointment."

Zane frowned and looked at Yanis who was sitting on a couch. He took the ice pack from Sophia and handed it to Yanis.

When Yanis saw him holding the ice pack in front of her, she got shocked and looked up at him.

"Apply it first. Other people would believe that I hit you."

Yanis, "..."
