Cross Academy had always been a legendary place that regular people like the lawyer could only dream of entering.
And Iris Long, a mere pop star, was actually a Cross Academy student?!!
How did that happen?! Was it possible?!
Regular geniuses couldn’t even enter its gates. Only a special breed of geniuses were accepted.
Did this mean that Iris Long was a special genius?
In what way?
The lawyer was confused. He didn’t understand. But he didn’t dare to doubt Cross Academy’s integrity. He didn’t think that such a prestigious and world-renowned institution such as Cross Academy would make a mistake and admit a mere pop star like Iris Long if she didn’t have the qualifications.
This only meant that she was indeed a rare, special genius.
Then why did she have such an unpleasant past? She had been known back then as a dumb heiress during her teenage years. The troubles she stirred were more (in)famous than her actual works in showbiz.
The lawyer had thought that the old Jin matriarch had become senile when he helped her draft the final will and testament.
Looking at everyone’s expression around the table, however, they didn’t look surprised at all.
"Attorney?" Jin Liwei asked. "Is something the matter?" frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Oh, no," the lawyer said in a hurry. "Nothing. I just feel a little thirsty, that’s all."
Now that he mentioned it, he was indeed feeling thirsty. CEO Jin’s aura was too frightening! It felt like if he looked at Iris Long for a second longer, CEO Jin would gouge out his eyes.
After moistening his throat with a glass of water, the lawyer pushed all unnecessary thoughts out of his head and continued to read his client’s will and testament.
"After a thorough consultation with my dear friend, Lu Jianhong, I have decided to leave all my Jin Corporation shares to my granddaughter-in-law, Long Xiulan. This will ensure that Jin Corporation will be able to maintain its long-standing membership in Cross Academy’s exclusive business network for another few decades.
"I’m sorry, my dear Xiulan, if you feel that Grandma Li is using you for the sake of Jin Corporation. But the company is very important to me and our families (the Jins and the Lus). This is your Grandfather Jin’s lifeblood.
"In addition, more than a million people all around the world depend on Jin Corporation for livelihood. We can’t fail all these people if we can’t maintain our position in the current status quo. I know, and I know that you also know, that Jin Corporation can’t possibly remain a member of the academy’s exclusive business network forever. But I want to delay the inevitable for as long as possible. At least, I hope that Jin Corporation will remain at the top in the next few generations.
"Xiulan, my dear, please forgive your grandma for using you like this. I hope that you understand my sentiments."
Iris Long teared up after hearing the lawyer reading these parts. She could almost hear Grandma Li saying the exact words to her.
