Lawyer Lisle was a man in his thirties, wearing a pair of golden glasses and looking very scholarly.
Lauren sat on the sofa and sipped on her tea.
“Madam, why did you invite me here today?” Lawyer Lisle asked.
“Lawyer Lisle is a smart person. I believe you know why I asked you to come here today.” Lauren smiled and said.
Lawyer Lisle smiled calmly. “Madam, I’m sorry. Although Sir Maynard has always entrusted the company’s documents to me, I don’t know anything about the will.”
“Oh? If that’s the case, then that will be all.”
Lawyer Lisle was surprised. This did not seem like Lauren’s style. Letting him go after only asking one question? He was already prepared to grit his teeth.
“Then, Madam, I’ll go back.”
“Okay, you go back. Leave your wife and son here for dinner.” Lauren raised her eyebrows.
Hearing his wife and son, Lawyer Lisle was immediately frightened.
“Madam, you -”
“Nothing. I just invited them over as guests. By the way, I want to inquire about what kind of documents Lawyer Lisle has worked on recently. And your wife probably won’t tell your secrets. Why are you afraid?”
Lauren put down the cup in her hand.
“Madam, you secretly detained my wife and son. This is illegal!” Lawyer Lisle growled, “This matter has nothing to do with them. Please let them go!”
“Illegal? You’ve been working in the Maynard family for a few years. I believe that you know well about the Maynard family and the Saint Group. We did nothing illegal.”
Of course, Lawyer Lisle knew that the Saint Group and the Maynard family were too dangerous to be offended.
Even the government department had to be polite. After all, the economic lifeline of City Z was in the hands of the Saint Group!
“Madam…”
“As long as you get what I want, your wife and son will be fine. I believe you understand what I said.”
Lawyer Lisle thought for a while and finally lowered his head. “I have the will.”
Lauren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Lawyer Lisle let Mr. Clark bring the will.
Lauren couldn’t wait to open the will. When she saw the contents of the will, she sat down on the sofa, and her face was pale as death.
Just as she expected, all the shares that originally belonged to Dalton were inherited by Ernest!
Lauren sat on the sofa with one hand holding her head, and she took a long time to recover.
The contents of the will were very clear. Dalton left his shares to Ernest and appointed him as the new chairman as well as the CEO, assisted by Derek, who was pointed as the vice-chairman.
The property of Dalton was evenly distributed, but what was the point of this? The property was not as valuable as the shares of the Saint Group!
However, they will add one item at last.
Because Ernest has never been in the Saint Group and has no experience in managing the group, if, within three years, Ernest still can’t be qualified to be the president, the president will be Derek, and 10% of the shares will be transferred to Derek.
Lauren sneered. Dalton was a sly old fox.
He set Derek as an alternative!
Ernest has never worked in the company before, and he doesn’t know some things in the group. He is easy to be manipulated, so Dalton asks Derek to help him. If he really can’t do it, he will be relieved of the position of president and give ten percent of the shares to Derek. In this way, the Maynard family can be still own the Saint Group.
Derek himself already had 10% of the shares, and with another 10%, he could become the second-largest shareholder, and his right to speak was firmly in his hands.
Lauren clenched her fists tightly. She could not tolerate that Dalton using Derek as an alternative!
He was her only son!
He left the group to an outsider!
“Madam, the will has been given to you. Can I bring my wife and son home?” Lawyer Lisle asked.
Lauren looked at him, “Is this the only will?”
“When Sir Maynard handed the will to me, he only said that this will would be taken out after he passed away. He did not say anything else.”
Lauren narrowed her eyes. The cunning Dalton might have left several wills and placed them in various places.
“I want you to immediately draw up another will and give all the shares to my son, Derek.”
Lawyer Lisle had already thought that Lauren would do this.
“Madam, please don’t force me to do this.”
“After drafting the will, your wife and son will be fine. Since you have already stepped into this mess, you will no longer be able to get rid of it.”
Lauren crossed her legs and slightly raised her chin, “After the matter is done, I can give you a large amount of money, large enough for your family of three to spend their whole lives, and then send you abroad and never come back.”
Lawyer Lisle lowered his head. That’s right. He could no longer get rid of this matter. After all, he was the one taken out of the will.
If he didn’t do so, since he knew the contents of the will, Lauren would find trouble with him sooner or later.
“Okay, I will do it.”
Lawyer Lisle left.
Lauren was still unable to calm down.
“Madam, actually, you don’t have to worry. This matter is only known by Lawyer Lisle. When we send them abroad, all the problems will be solved.” Mr. Clark comforted her.
Lauren lightly snorted, “You don’t know Dalton well. He can think of anything as you can.”
“What else could it be?” Mr. Clark asked.
“Lawyer Lisle’s relationship with the Maynard family will naturally attract people’s attention. Maybe Dalton deliberately leaked it to us. Maybe he hid other wills with other lawyers.”
Lauren sighed, “When the time comes when we take the fake will, and others take the real will, what do you think will happen?”
“Mr. Dalton’s mind is indeed hard to guess. However, I really can’t figure it out. Mr. Dalton only has one son. Why doesn’t Mr. Dalton give the shares to Mr. Derek but Mr. Ernest? Mr. Ernest is an outsider after all!”
Lauren shook her head, “I can’t figure it out either. However, I definitely won’t allow such a thing to happen.”
Her eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, and her eyes shone with a cold and arrogant light.
“If I can’t do it, it seems that Ernest cannot be left alive!”
“Madam, you…”
Lauren slammed the table, “If I know there will be a day like today, I should have driven the family of three away at the beginning! Now they have caused such big trouble!”
She was greatly regretted.
“Go and do this for me immediately. Don’t give yourself away! Do it quickly.”
“Yes.”
