Once the press conference was finished, while the internet was in an uproar, everyone in the meeting room was deathly silent.Lawyer When indicated to Shan Shan to brighter the lights and then cleared his throat."Ladies and Gentlemen.We all know the purpose of this meeting.When you signed on as trustees, you agreed to adhere to the wishes of the late Chairman Lu.His shares have been handled by the trust for almost eighteen years and now it is time to hand them over to the rightful owner.We are for now very clear on the two main conditions of the willLet me assure you that the will itself cannot be contested according to the law..But if any of the parties are not satisfied with the decision of the trustees, you may contest that and pursue the matter, though all legal expenses will be borne by the initiator."
"Now, as we all know, Chairman Lu was a man with foresight and to prevent anyone from cheating in the will, he later added some hidden conditions to the will.Let me explain them one by one, First, the beneficiary must have been married for over a year at the time of the claim.Secondly,the trustees must not be indebted in any way to either parties,if that is the case then we will have to invite independent court receivers to help us handle this business.Third,in case both parties satisfy the conditions, then and only then the shares may be divided as stated,35 percent of the amount of shares is to be given to the person who has brought in more to the company and 25 percent to the other beneficiary.The remaining is to be sold in the market at the current market price and the proceeds will be passed into the Government Charity Organisations.
Once Lawyer When was finished detailing this,theblawyer representing the Lu's spoke up," Here is the marriage certificate submitted by Miss Lu,she has clearly been married for a year.So we naturally fulfill all the conditions, the hidden one's included.I request the trustees to be fair and not force us to go to the court.The trustees were in a dilemma because they could see the clear warning in Chairwoman Lu's eyes but the warning issue by CEO Wolf's lackey was just as powerful and resounding.It would be better if the two parties involved solved it amongst themselves.When they had agreed to be the trustees, they had not expected their old friend's will to be so complicated.
When no man spoke up, Chairwoman Lu began,"I understand that in terms of money, Xie Eun girl has more options as evidenced by Lawyer Wen.We can already guess where his vote is going to go given the fact that he waited for the press conference.But in terms of brand image,my Yeona has already made a brand reputation for herself in the last three years.Money can be borrowed in business but brand and image need time to build which Yeona can offer..I don't know how this girl came to know of my husband's will and she suddenly up and married some upstart.If you will see Yeona is married to the second heir of the Gu Industrues.They are a moneyed family and will not try to snatch control of the Lu Enterprises from Yeona but will render support."
again,silence reigned in the room until Neil Long brought his hands together to clap slowly for the old lady's speech. He then smiled languidly and continued, " But let me update you on some facts.Miss When?Would you please pass this file to the honored Mrs Lu?" Shan Shan hurriedly stood up and taking the fill passed it to the old lady who only looked at her own lawyer refusing to accept it.The lawyer stood up to take the file and when he read the contents,his own breath whooshed out..He looked up at the old woman and muttered,"Mam, Miss Xie had been married for two years.."
The woman scoffed at this and said,"What nonsense!She had been here in this place for the last two years.In this country you need to be eighteen to get married and General Xie passed away two days after her birthday!So how is that possible?And since then I have made sure that.."
The woman stopped abruptly as she realize that she had been about to blurt out the fact that Si Jing had been keeping her on a string so that she would not really marry someone else.
Xie Eun smiled and finished the sentence that the chairwoman did not,"you have made sure that I do not get into a relationship with anyone else?Isnt that why you collaborated with young master Si Jing? But your plan failed miserably,grandmother!And I am sure you are curious about the hows and the whys of it..."
A never before seen sinister smile graced Xie Eun's face at this...
