Chapter 37
A few minutes later, Mr. young arrives in a hurry. The four people sit down in the meeting room to
discuss in detail.
The meeting room is spacious and bright. The sun shines through the tulle. It's supposed to be a quiet
morning, but it's spoiled by Jean and Ben.
Poppy, Jean, Mr. young and Ben sit on opposite sides. Claire hands out the prepared documents in
duplicate to both sides. But Mr. young is a little proud, he declines, "thank you. I’ve brought them
myself.”
Claire looks at Poppy, who doesn't say anything. She puts away the documents and sits next to Poppy.
Poppy looks at Mr. young in the opposite. Although she hasn't competed with him, she has investigated
him for a long time. He has engaged in international lawsuits, and not is famous in China.
Poppy picks up her pen and says, "if Mr. young is ready, let's go straight to the procedure and make a
settlement as soon as possible.”
Mr. young looks at poppy. He would always investigate his opponents. But as for Poppy, he finds her a
little strange. He only found that she just came back from abroad and had only one lawsuit. Probably
she's just a newcomer in the legal circle.
She can't compare with himself in terms of seniority or experience. Mr. young despises her and says,
"OK, anyway, the result would be the same, don't waste too much of our time.”
Ben sneers, "Jean, why do you hire an unknown lawyer ?”
Jean disdains, "lawyer poppy has let Dakings lose 70 million. If you know nothing, don't say it out to
make a fool of yourself.”
"Let's start. Anyway, just as Mr. Young said, the result would be the same.”
Mr. young didn't expect Poppy to be so confident. He quickly opens the file and says, "let's see who is
fighting for nothing!”
Poppy takes the lead in getting to the subject, she says, "Mr. young already has the statistics of the
asset under Abbott Butler's name. He has two villas in this city, five villas in total and three luxury cars.
In addition, he also has the shares of Hays enterprise. His personal capital is 75,460,900 dollars.”
Poppy looks at Ben and asks seriously, "Mr. Butler, what do you think of this?”
"She takes 30%, and I 70%” He blurts out without thinking.
"What? I take 30%? Nice try! I'm Abbott's legal wife. I have the right to get bisection!” When Jean hears
what Ben said, her eyes almost pop out.
“Bisection? No way. You've only been married to my father for so short a time. What's your qualification
to get bisection of his legacy?” Ben firmly refuses, thinking that she is wishful thinking.
Looking at the situation, Mr. Young says, "Miss Barnes, Abbott Butler didn't leave a testament, but Ben
Butler is his only son and the legal heir.”
Jean is not buying it. She leans back and snorts, "Abbott is also my husband. Am I not the legal heir?”
Looking at her haughty attitude, Ben says with a little threat, "who doesn't know that you are a famous
'black widow', and it's you who made him dead!”
"Bah! Your father died from the heart attack. The forensic doctor have dissected and identified him.
Everything requires evidence. Don't slander me.”
Jean bursts into rage that even her eyebrows quiver. Her delicate face is full of anger.
"I get 60% and you get 40%, this is my final concession. Don't think that I don't know your affair outside
these days. If you don't compromise now, we'll see in court!”
Hearing this, Poppy's face darkens a little, and Claire also slightly frowns.
Although Jean is guilty, she is quite sure that no one has ever photographed the evidence of her
misconduct. After taking a look at Poppy, Jean says louder, "Ben, you need to speak with proof.”
Listening to her loud voice, Ben also gets angry, "humph! Everyone knows that when my father was
alive, you were still cheating on him. You...”
"Shut up! I gotta sue you for defamation!”
They argue with each other, and the whole meeting room is full of their curses. Even the people outside
the door can hear their voice.
The atmosphere is becoming more and more tense, and the lawyers of both sides are waiting for a
breakthrough to defend for their clients.
Poppy's lips close tighter and tighter, and the light at the bottom of the eyes seems to slowly converge
into an arrow. Finally, she can't help but burst out, "shut up!”
Her loud voice rings out in the meeting room, and her sheer force of character makes the two people
quarreling with each other stupefied.
Poppy looks at them seriously, and says coldly: "if the reconciliation can't be reached, just go to court
and ask the presiding judge to decide it. Is this fair enough? Are you convinced?”
Poppy says it in solemn. Even Mr. young in the opposite side, who has 10 years of experience, is a
little stunned.
Ben and Mr. young takes a look at each other. They keep silent for a while. Then Ben takes a breath
and looks at Jean. "You want to share the assets equally? Fine, but I have a condition!”
Upon hearing this, jean has realized that there must be a trick. She tries to stand up, but Poppy stares
at her coldly. Jean is forced to sit down and keep silent.
Poppy speaks succinctly, "since we've chosen to negotiate to reconciled, Mr. Butler would better say so
outright!”
"I can share the real estate equally, but all the shares my father held must belong to me!” Ben has
figured it out earlier. The houses and cars are all nothing but shadows. However, Hays is the real cash
cow. He can't give in.
"Ben Butler, you're really good at calculating. Who doesn't know Hays is like a golden hen? Well, it's
not impossible for you to take all the shares. You just have to buy it from me. Then the whole company
would belong to you!” Jean is not angry this time. She sneers and talks about the condition with Ben.
"You...Don't be shameless, Jean!” Ben is so angry at her arrogance that he gnashes his teeth.
He is the only son of Abbott Butler. He is supposed to inherit the heritage. Why should he spend a huge
sum of money to buy it? The more he thinks about it, the more he is not reconciled!
But Mr. young thinks it is the only way to solve the dispute. He whispers a few words to Ben.
Ben frowns. After listening to Mr. young, he looks up at Poppy directly. "Make a price!”
“10 million!” Jean replies in advance of Poppy.
“No way! It's daylight robbery!” Ben bursts into rage, as if his head is also in fire.
"Ah-uh? You’re not convinced? Honestly, 10 million has been counted as less. According to the
company's annual net profit, 10 million is less than half of the dividend I should have at the end of the
year.”
