The old man waved at Fubuki.
Forber nodded a little and opened the paper in his hand, handing it to Christine White, “His Lordship would like his wife to sign this.”
“What’s this?” Christine White looked over suspiciously, her eyes snapping open, “This … Equity Transfer Letter?”
“Yes.” Uncle Fu unscrewed a pen to explain to her, “This ten percent of the original equity is what Master wants to transfer to you, ma’am.”
“No no no.” Christine White jumped straight up in shock, panic written all over her little face, “Why are you transferring it to me?”
Ten percent of the equity ah, or the original equity, which can be much more valuable than the average equity.
How dare she want it!
The old man couldn’t help but laugh twice when he saw Christine White’s evasive demeanor, “Don’t be afraid, girl, as The Lane Family’s daughter-in-law, you’re supposed to have some shares.”
“I know, but it’s nowhere near as much.” Christine White said.
She had heard Aunt Lucy say before that daughters-in-law who married into The Lane Family were given a portion of the shares gifted by The Lane Family, but they were all only one or two percent, or even zero percent, and definitely not ten percent.
“Yes, it’s not so much, but this time it’s different.” The old man lowered his eyelids.
Christine White calmed down first, ready to hear what he had to say.
“Girl, in fact, these shares, rather than me transferring them to you, are more like me placing them in your custody.”
“Custody?” Christine White was even more confused in her head.
The old man nodded slightly, “Not bad, keep it on behalf of Baird, Baird is the best one in my The Lane Family in these generations, but also the one I can’t rest assured of, maybe it’s because he lost his parents since he was a child, his character has become very sensitive and cold and hard, and in some cases he doesn’t even know how to change.”
Christine White heard this and nodded fervently.
She also feels that Baird Lane is sometimes too stubborn in his dealings.
She just still didn’t understand what that had to do with letting her keep her equity.
But the old man quickly explained it to her.
It turns out that the old man is worried that Baird Lane, with such a character, will offend a lot of people in the future, and once those people join hands to deal with him together, he won’t be able to hold out even if he is very capable.
That’s why the old man gave her the ten percent, with the intention of giving Baird Lane a leg up.
In case one day Baird Lane’s stake is taken away from her, she still has ten percent in her hand, and with that ten percent, Baird Lane still has a chance to turn around.
I have to say, the old man was really thoughtful.
“I see what grandpa means, just that grandpa isn’t worried that if I take this share, I won’t give it to Baird when he’s in trouble later? Or what if I see the money and secretly sell this share?” Christine White looked at the old man seriously.
The old man smiled without worry, “You’re the granddaughter-in-law I’ve taken a liking to, I believe in you!”
The sentence I believe, instantly broke Christine White’s heart defense, she was touched and clenched her palms, “Grandpa, you …”
“Well, don’t cry, I still have a testament to finish.” The old man cried and laughed.
Christine White sniffled, “Well, I’m not going to cry, Grandpa you say.”
The old master put away the kindness on his face and became solemn, “This ten percent of the original equity, is that I let Lao Fu spend several years, from the hands of those on the board of directors, secretly acquired, so those people did not know that I still have equity in my hands, thinking that all of my equity was given to Baird.”
“And does Baird know?” Christine White asked.
The old man waved his hand, “Baird doesn’t know either, this was originally the back way I left for him, so I didn’t intend to tell him, and the only people who know about it are the four of us, so girl, this share was secretly transferred to you by me, and you shouldn’t let Baird know about it unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Christine White nodded heavily, taking these words, carefully, to heart.
She knows that the so-called last resort is when Baird Lane has been knocked off its pedestal and needs a back way out.
At that time, she could tell him that she was still holding the shares that the old man had secretly handed over to her.
“Grandpa, I have one more question.” Christine White raised her small hand.
The old man looked at her, signaling her to ask.
Christine White inhaled, “If in the future Baird doesn’t encounter any of these things, or if when they happen, they’re all perfectly resolved by himself, then the stake, should I give it to him?”
“If that’s really the case, you can keep this equity for yourself, he has forty percent in his hand, The Lane Family Group has always been his one word, ten percent more doesn’t make a difference to him, and when you have a child again in the future, you can also leave this equity to the child.” The old man glanced at her stomach in reply.
Christine White’s eyes dropped bleakly, “Child …”
Can she still have children?
Seeming to read Christine White’s thoughts, the old man kindly comforted her, “Don’t worry, you’re still young, and medicine will become more and more advanced, you can always get pregnant, and if you can’t, don’t you still have test tubes?”
At that, Christine White’s eyes lit up.
Yeah, and test tubes.
She remembers what Ives Norton said last time, that she can have IVF as soon as she gets well.
Seeing Christine White regaining her composure, the old man smiled gratefully, “Now that you’ve figured it out, sign the papers and go back, and come back to see me tomorrow.”
“Good.” Christine White nodded.
Furber then re-presented the equity transfer and pen to her.
The attorney aside pulled a small camera out of his briefcase and filmed Christine White signing over Land, all Land.
After filming, he put the camera into his bag, “Hello Mrs. Lane, I’m Master Lu’s exclusive attorney, I’ll be serving you from now on.”
“Service?” Christine White blinked.
The old man spoke, “This transfer of equity is in duplicate, one for you to keep, and one for him to keep, and in the future, whether you give this equity to Baird, or to your children, you must have him present, he is the notary public of your equity.”
Christine White suddenly realized with an oh, “I see, what was just filmed is also evidence, right, to prove that the equity was indeed given to me by you, Grandpa, and not taken by me by illegal means.”
The old man gave her an appreciative look, “Not bad.”
Christine White blushed a little in embarrassment.
In the time that followed, she talked to her lawyer about a few more things she needed to take care of regarding the shares, and it wasn’t until the old man’s doctor came over to roust him that she offered her farewell.
Leaving the sanatorium, Christine White didn’t go straight back to the villa, but turned to the bank, where she opened a safe and deposited the shareholding transfer that belonged to her.
After depositing it, she stayed with a blank face and drifted back to the car, her insides tumbling.
I can’t imagine that in just less than a day, she has become a ten billion dollar rich woman!
“Ma’am.” Aunt Lucy waved at Christine White’s eyes.
Christine White’s eyes flickered back, “What’s wrong?”
“I was going to ask what’s wrong with you, you didn’t respond when I called you a few times.” Aunt Lucy looked at her helplessly.
Christine White rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, “I’m fine, I’m just not at peace.”
How can you be calm when you suddenly have tens of billions of dollars more.
Of course, that’s not something she’d say to Aunt Lucy.
“Not calm? Is there something wrong?” Aunt Lucy asked with concern.
Christine White waved her hands back and forth, “No no no, I’m fine, Aunt Lucy what did you just call me for?”
She changed the subject.
Aunt Lucy slapped her head, “Look at me, I forgot after such a little effort, ma’am your phone just rang.”
“Yeah?” Christine White spat out her tongue, then took her cell phone out of her bag and was stunned at the caller ID.
It’s him?
