Chapter 699

Jacqueline looked at Mr. Baldwin with surprise, "Mr. Baldwin, what

brings you here? What can I do for you?"

Mr. Baldwin was dressed in a suit with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

He bowed slightly towards Jacqueline, Shelly, and Luther and said

respectfully, "Sorry to bother you all. I asked the nurse's desk earlier to

keep an eye out and contact me as soon as Mr. Warner woke up."

"Is there something important that needs to be delt with?"

Luther looked up slightly and looked into Mr. Baldwin's eyes, totally

unaware of what he was thinking.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that Mr. Baldwin's sudden

appearance must be related to Joyce's disappearance.

“That's right. Mr. Warner."

Mr. Baldwin opened his briefcase and took out a document, "I brought a

copy of the agreement that Mrs. Warner signed, regarding the change

of shares. Now it's time to take it out.”

"Joyce left an agreement about her shares?" Luther was secretly

surprised, and he coughed several times to catch his breath because of

the pain in his chest.

Jacqueline saw that he was uncomfortable and said worriedly, “Luther,

you're hurt very badly. Should we call the doctor to come and take a

look?"

When Mr. Baldwin saw how weak and pale Luther was, he said, "Mr.

Warner, maybe I should come back later? You should have a good rest.

We are not in a rush to get it done today."

Luther waved his hand feebly, "No, I'm fine. Mr. Baldwin, you go

ahead.”

"Good."

Mr. Baldwin opened the file in his hand.

He said, "Well, after the legal proceedings regarding Ms. Stephanie's

will were completed, you and Joyce signed several documents as heirs

to the shares. Mr. Warner must still remember?”

Luther nodded gently, “Yes, I remember. After signing the documents at

that time, Joyce said she wanted to talk to you alone, after which I left

you alone."

"Yes, Mr. Warner. At that time Joyce asked me privately to draft this

agreement alone after you left. Please look through it."

Mr. Baldwin handed the agreement forward respectfully.

Luther took the document and roughly scanned through it. When he

understood what Joyce wanted to do, he took a deep breath, and his

pupils contracted violently.

There was a rolling, powerful surge in his heart that could not be

calmed.

Jacqueline was curious, so was Shelly. What kind of deal did Joyce

leave behind?

Luther's face was apparently getting colder and paler. However, no one

dared to ask about it.

The atmosphere was awkward and time seemed to have frozen.

Mr. Baldwin looked at each of the three of them, cleared his throat, and

said, "Let me explain the agreement for you.”

“Mr. Warner, after agreeing to inherit the shares from Ms. Stephanie,

made several additional conditions.”

“First, she claimed that she was only temporarily keeping Ms.

Stephanie's shares and that once the case of Ms. Stephanie's murder

was solved, the shares would be returned directly to Mr. Warner without

her authorization."

When he finished the first part, Jacqueline had been surprised enough.

Why would Joyce say no to such a huge amount of wealth? This was

the wealth that she had coveted for her life. It was not only money, but

also the supreme position in the R & S Group.

Shelly was also surprised. She stole a glance at Jacqueline and the two

exchanged glances.

Apparently, they all found it unbelievable.

Shelly finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Baldwin, are you sure that

Joyce had her shares ready for redistribution just at the time she

inherited them?"
