Chapter 322
You Hit My Heart
Mr. Baldwin returned, âThat'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.â
"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.
âYes, I understand.â 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.â 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."
"Good." Joyce responded, and she took the electronic pen Mr. Baldwin
handed her.
