In disbelief, I stared at Elbert, reaching out to grab the document he handed me, and couldn’t wait to start reading it.
After I thoroughly read the document, I felt like I was blown away. It was an unfair deal in which I had unconditionally transferred Medsafe Liyah Inc. to Jaylan's name and declared that Jaylan would have full authority over the company's affairs from that day on.
Feeling helpless, I turned my gaze to Mr. Elbert.
"This agreement has made you lose all your ownership of Medsafe Liyah Inc. In other words, you no longer have any say in the company. You have fully agreed to gift the management rights and shares to Jaylan. Besides, based on this agreement, the legal representative of Medsafe Liyah Inc. has been changed to Jaylan." Elbert didn't mince his words. "Moreover, all your properties and other fixed assets are now mortgaged to the bank, and the procedures were all signed by you. This means... you won't get any property!"
I shook my head desperately. "No, I didn't sign this document!"
But when I checked the signature carefully, it was smooth and in one stroke. It was indeed my signature, not a fake one!
"This is impossible! How could this happen? No, it’s impossible! I don't remember signing any of these documents!" I glanced helplessly at Catherine, trying to prove my words were true. "I didn't sign them. But this... this handwriting is indeed mine."
Catherine was bewildered. "What do you mean? How could it be your handwriting there if you didn’t sign them?"
"Jaylan!" I gritted my teeth and yelled out the name.
After all these years of deep affection, I didn't even realize since when our souls had been apart. He had set me up so perfectly. I loved him to the bone, bore his children, and helped the Dawson family rise from poverty. How could he treat me like this?
My hand holding the document started to tremble uncontrollably, and anger burned in my chest, threatening to consume me. I held back my tears and laughed out of anger. "Jaylan is a cunning fox. I thought he just wanted to have a big shake-up in the company by kicking out my people, but it turned out that he had taken away everything I had without me knowing! So, now I'm the one who has nothing!"
Catherine was also fuming. "What a bastard! He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He even plotted against his own wife like this!"
"And…" I looked at Elbert, feeling a bit difficult to say, but at this moment, I couldn't care less. "I suspect he wants to commit insurance fraud. He poisoned me, not just to steal my company. I found a large insurance policy in the safe, covering accidents and serious illnesses. That means, no matter how I die, he will receive a large compensation."
