Chapter 322
Mr. Baldwin returned, “That’s fine. I can draft it for you right now.” He opened his briefcase, took out his laptop, and opened it, “If you have any requests, feel free to tell me.”
Joyce thought about it, “I’m inheriting Stephanie’s shares, and I’d like to add a few conditions. You can see if it is feasible. First, I only inherit Stephanie’s shares temporarily, and once the case of Stephanie’s murder is settled, the shares will be returned directly to Luther without my further authorization.”
“Wait.” Mr. Baldwin looked at Joyce in amazement, “Mrs. Warner, do you know what you are talking about? You are now asking me to redistribute the shares you will soon own? Are you sure that you want to give up such a huge fortune in the future?”
Mr. Baldwin simply could not imagine. She just inherited a wealthy and unparalleled property, but she does not want.
“Yes, I know exactly what I’m doing. I never wanted a penny from the Warner family, and I was willing to inherit the shares because I believed that my grandmother must have had a reason when she fought so hard to transfer the shares to me before she died. I couldn’t let my grandmother’s expectations down.” Joyce explained. These words, she did not say to Luther.
But in front of the lawyer, she did not need to hide.
“Yes, I understand.” Mr. Baldwin was also a man who had been through thick and thin and had seen the world before, and he was used to all those feuds and inheritance disputes between the rich and the poor. But this was the first time in his life that he had met someone like Joyce.
He began tapping rapidly on the keyboard, drafting the agreement.
“Second, during the period I keep the shares, all the proceeds generated because of the shares will be donated to an orphanage to support various charitable activities that care for orphans.” After Joyce finished, she did not forget to ask, “Do I have the right to distribute it in this way?”
Mr. Baldwin, even more shocked, now had a little more appreciation in his eyes as he affirmed.
“Of course, your own proceeds, of course, you have the right to distribute them as you see fit, but are you sure that you do not want to keep a penny?”
“Hmm. I don’t need to.” She nodded gently.
“Third… Let me think for a moment.” She seemed to think about it for a long time and continued, “If one day, unfortunately, I die, even if Luther and I are divorced at that time, the shares still return to Luther in full. If I simply disappear and we are divorced at that time, the shares should be held by him in his stead until the Stephanie case is solved, and then the shares should automatically return to him. ”
“Can you understand what I mean?” She confirmed, feeling she couldn’t express herself clearly.
Mr. Baldwin’s fingers, which were typing, paused on the keyboard for a long time, “I understand what you are saying. As for the wording, I will make a few professional changes. You don’t have to worry.”
The meaning of Joyce’s words made him feel as if, between her and Luther, the marriage would not last.
As the Warner family’s legal consultant, he was not allowed to interfere too much with his employer’s personal affairs.
It’s just that Joyce’s approach, without any consideration for her own interests, surprised him quite a bit.
He drafted the agreement on the fly.
Soon it was all done and he showed his laptop to Joyce, “Take a look, I’ve got it all written down. The agreement for the future handling of your shares, and you can sign it electronically. And you will also need to sign a letter of authorization, entrusting me with full authority to handle it.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Good.” Joyce responded, and she took the electronic pen Mr. Baldwin handed her.
