Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 53
Advertisement
Shan Shan glared at her grandfather incredulously.She had even forgotten her place as his secretary and was now glaring at him.It really was a crazy will and she was amazed that her grandfather had drafted it.
She looked at her grandfather,who was smiling at her and was about to say more but he cut her off."The will is perfectly legal, child and let me remind you that it is not your place to judge the client's wishes.Shan Shan, sit here and listen to this.Moving on this is going to be the most difficult case and my last case.In fact, if handled wrongly, it can have my license cancelled and my life's work and reputation will be sent down the drain. I will not get into details.The client had his own reasons for making the will as he did..So we will discuss the present.Shan Shan,the will concerns people you know so please keep the prejudice out. At present, there are two contender who have fulfilled the conditions of the will.By that I mean the two most absurd and important conditions.The first one being that to legally inherit the shares, they must be married by their twentieth birthday and they must bring something meaningful to the company. If both are legally eligible then the trust created will have the final decision. And that is what is today's meeting is all about.But Old man Lu had not expected to pass away soon after he created this will.He had thought that when he passed away,his friends would pay respect to him and make a just decision.But it has been eighteen years since the man passed away and now Chairwoman Lu's network and roots within the people in the trust are as much powerful as that man if not more powerful..

So now the trust is in a dilemma. Now this is where I can be implicated.The old man must have told his wife about his will and soon after she started planning to put Lu Yeona on the throne of Lu Enterprises.It also did not help that General Xie who was Old Man Lu's son in law had moved to a small village after his wife passed away. All would have been fine,if both the girls had not known the condition of the will and then the property would have been divided equally.But a few years ago I came to know that Lu Yeona knew the will's contents.It was at your seventeenth birthday party when you and Lu Yeona had the showdown and she said something..That gave me a pause and after pondering a bit,I broke my ethics for the first time in my career and decided to tell General Xie..Old man Lu wanted the will to be fair,but Chairwoman Lu had misused his trust to place her chosen person on the chair.Last year when I went to have a talk with General Xie,I came to know that he had already passed away a few weeks of receiving the information.I had no way of finding out if General Xie had used the information I sent so I gave up on it,leaving it to fate.But then Xie Eun came the day before yesterday."
Shan Shan heard her grandfather's voice and realized the severity of the matter.The fact that her grandfather had broken his code of ethics meant that this matter was very important him. She wanted to burst out that the dumb b****,Yeona had no business inheriting Lu Enterprises but knew that this was not the time to say anything..But another thing was clear,grandfather did not want Lu Yeona to inherit as well.So she tentatively asked,"Then is Lu Yeona going to inherit?Are you worried that once she ascends,she will creates problems for you?But General Xie is already dead.Are you feeling bad for the other girl because she lost out?Is that why you took her to the ball last night?Did she come to know something and came to you for help?"

Shan Shan felt bad for the girl who had come here.She had been a sweet girl who had sat there patiently without making a scene. But when she looked up from her musings,she saw her grandfather grinning happily and he then continued,"All this hard work is to ensure that Lu Enterprises makes a smooth transition into Xie Eun's hands...I never could have expected that General Xie was a man of such means. Shan Shan saw her grandfather rubbing his hands in anticipation and knew something big was going to take place...

The Symphonia Of Erde (DISCONTINUED) (ARCHIVED)
Jakob Fowlhunter and Marie Budgerigar are bounty hunters who are always on the road; travelling from town to town, city to city, in search for wanted criminals that would fetch them some decent amount of gold in exchange for their life. A wicked job for wicked people as they say, but things weren't easy as it seems when THEY themselves are always on the run. Whether from vengeful barons or rivals with personal vendetta, there are always those who wanted them captured dead or alive (mostly dead though). But all of it would soon change when the two stumbled upon another curious duo; a former knight-wannabe adventurer and a travelling humanitarian doctor who isn't exactly a human. From there on, it's an all out adventure for four of them as they ventured across all of Erde; a world of wondrous magic, mystical beings, legendary warriors, kings of great and terrible, mighty dragons of all shapes and sizes and other stuff you would expect coming from a fantasy world archetype.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
