Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 75
Advertisement
Xie Eun looked down at her clothes and then the beautifully dressed woman.Wryly , she rebutted"And if Inwere to dress up like you then I would look like a little girl playing dress up.Miss Wen, you look beautiful as well."
Instead of denying the true compliment, Shan Shan accepted it gracefully with a "Thank you." and pointed to the opposite chair,indicating for Xie Eun to have a seat Only as she sat, did Shan Shan notice the luggage she was pulling behind and remembered her purpose.Getting back to business, she began,"Thank you so much for your time.I hope you did not mind that I used the anglo version of your name..I specially like the name Anna.It reminds me of someone."
Xie Eun politely shook her head,indicating that she indeed did not mind being referred to as Anna. Once Shan Shan had affirmed this she continued, "Anyway, you left the meeting but that day but Neil Long discovered something later.Once everything has been transferred in your name, there are certain other conditions that you accept when you become the beneficiary.Anyway, these points are not just important but also not totally legal.However, the will is already registered so it makes them legal.First I want to apologise to you for this mistaken and assure you that we will do our best to correct it.In fact my grandfather was so shocked when this clause was pointed out by Neil Long that he almost fainted. See, the thing is, at present we are still investigating how this happened and who did it,but for now you must know that the original will has been tampered with."
Xie Eun,who had been listening with patience albeit a bit confised, felt a chill when she heard this.What..what do you mean by saying that the will has been tampered with?"

Shan Shan,took out a folder from the file and opened it to a few pages, pointing out,"Do you see these clauses?They were never dictated in the original will.Nor were they there in the drafted will.That means that the will your grandfather and my grandfather approved was a bit different that what they signed and registered eventually.Unfortunately, we checked with the courts and this tampered will is true and the one registered."
Xie Eun read the clauses of the will a few times before blinking and asking,"You mean these classes we're added before the final will was made?But who could do that?Lu Yeona and I must be too young and Chairwoman Lu would not have known about this....and even if she did, she could have directly convinced my grandfather instead of going the underhanded way.."
Shan Shan shook her head and explained,"But Chairwoman Lu is the only suspect in this case.We are trying to find the paralegal who drafted this but she has already left the company for a few years and it would be like finding a needle in a stack of hay.We also cannot publicize this to find her ,as something like this would cause an uproar and put a blemish on our company.This has also created a hot mess for us because if the paralegal has accepted bribe once then chances are that she has accepted bribes more than once.We are in the process of checking all other wills drafted during that time.Thankfully my grandfather maintains a record or else.Anyways I am here to promise you that we will do our best to compensate you and I hope you will not sue us when though you deserve to..."
Xie Eun could see how worried Shan Shan was but after reading the clauses again and again, she did not see how this was so panic causing..so she shook her head and said,"There is no need.So what if the money is passed to someone else in the event of something untoward happening?"

Shan Shan who had been expecting Anna to panic could only shake her head as she said,"You are way too innocent!This clause means that if something were to fallen to you within a year of you inheriting then everything, including what you have contributed will be given back to the trust and eventually to the other party if they fulfil the requirements.This means, Anna, as soon as you became the owner of Lu Enterprises,your life was in danger. Is there anyone who would put such an insidious plan in place,other than Chairwoman Lu?This was her back up plan!The reason why she was so sure that Lu Enterprises will eventually land in her hands!I actually meant to warn you to move out of your dorm and to a safe place, the address of which your grandmother would not know.Itnis better no one knows.And if you can permit, then we would like to hire a few body guards for your protection.They will be discreet If course.Are you going to move in with your husband?Because he would need protection too.Our firm will naturally bear all the costs. Anna?You are not saying anything?Are you not satisfied?Look we can have discuss more if you are not satisfied with the arrangements but I hope you understand our position.My grandfather's license will not only be removed but his life's work will be wasted."
Xie Eun who was in shock at this finally regained her senses and said,"I...You do not have to worry.I will take care of this.Please do not worry about me suing you.No one else knows whether these clauses we're part of the original will or not so your grandfather's reputation must be safe.Thank you for informing me.You could have kept me in the dark and I wouldn't have been wiser.If I do need any help, Inwill let you know.And now I have another appointment so please excuse me."
