Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 65

"Once you sign your name and signature, you and Mr. Quinn will be considered officially married. At least in an hour. I will take care of everything. You do understand that… whoever will cheat on this marriage would become penniless, right?" Lawyer Liu felt that this clause was too much, especially for Chris. However, before he could voice out his concerns, Chris already told him that it was only a disadvantage if he would cheat—which would never happen.
Once again, the lawyer cast Sera a complicated glance.
Was love really blind?
It's not that Sera was not good-looking. She was actually really pretty. She was petite and her face looked really cute.
The lawyer just thought that she was too simple—a little too simple for a billionaire like Mr. Quinn. Perhaps Mr. Quinn liked the simple, innocent-looking ones?
"In case of divorce, the one that would file for the divorce would only take fifty percent of his or her wealth before they got married. Is that understood?" The Lawyer said. Chris originally wanted it to be the first clause as well. Whoever will file would end up penniless. But Sera insisted on the fifty percent.
Obviously, this didn't go too well with Chris, and now he was sulking. Like a child.
If Lawyer Liu wasn't too used to this attitude, he never would have believed that Mr. Quinn was Mr. Quinn that owned Quinn Media.
"I understand." Sera nodded and turned her attention to Chris, who was resting his chin on his palms as if he just lost a billion in some gambling. "Do you?"
"No," Chris said. "Why can't it be everything? I don't like this fifty percent. It's like you are telling me that you are planning to leave and take fifty percent of your money. That's not fair."

"Why is that not fair?" Sera asked. "If you stop liking me and decide to— "
"That won't happen."
"I said 'if'." This argument is just… endless.
"There is no 'if'!"
"Mr. Quinn…"
"This is why I hate these rules. It's like… you haven't even signed the marriage certificate and you are already assuming that the marriage would be doomed."
"Stop being so naïve. I am just trying to protect your assets! After all, you are a billionaire. Feelings change all the time. Who knows if you – "
"There is no if!"
Sera's face darkened. It was like talking to a child. A billionaire child! "Can you at least… think about it?"
"I already thought about this for months."
"…" There was no winning this argument. "Look… there's actually no need to worry about this." She sighed and gave a wry smile at the lawyer. She felt a bit embarrassed, but it was just too late now.
Lawyer Liu had been listening to them argue for more than thirty minutes now. By now, the lawyer might have already connected all the dots and guessed the nature of their relationship.
Wait… what was the nature of their relationship?
Sera didn't have the time to think about this now. "I know you are worried that I would leave."
"At least you are smart enough to notice that." He didn't hide the sarcasm in his voice.
"If I want to leave. I would. Even if I would end up with nothing."
Chris scowled. "I know!"
"Meaning, this is useless. So, we can just make it fifty percent."
"You said it yourself. It's useless anyway. So, why not make it everything?"
Yep, there is definitely no winning in this conversation.

"You can leave anytime and I can leave anytime. It's not like money is that hard to earn. This doesn't matter. So, we need to make it everything. If you leave, you end up penniless and the same goes for me."
Sera let out a deep—deep sigh. He was using her logic against her. This man is just…
This man is definitely good with debates! "Alright. Let's just… get it over with." She said as she signed the marriage certificate.
Beaming, Chris signed the paper too.
"See? This is easy. I told you it would be quick." Chris looked at the lawyer.
"you told me it won't take ten minutes. We've been here for more than an hour."
"Oh." Chris nodded. "Well… let's talk about her affairs. The Zhang Family's shares? How was it?"
"This morning, I already went to see Mr. Zhang, the Patriarch, and confirmed that Miss Zhang is now the heir of his company. She has a total of forty percent shares and five percent shares from the other companies. Considered as the Major Shareholder of the company, Miss Zhang could do almost everything that she wanted as long as it does not violate any corporate laws."
"Like… veto the decision of the board?" Chris asked.
"Yes, you are right. Like vetoing some decision of the board. Also…" Mr. Liu started discussing Sera's liquid assets and many other things that are a part of her inheritance. But Sera could only frown.
Why was the old man giving her this much money? Was he trying to get her in trouble?
No, that old man was hiding something.
"Do you have any questions?" Lawyer Liu asked.
"No. I'm good."
"Good, then let's proceed to the next topic. That would be hiring a secretary for you and— "
"I don't need one." She was a hacker. Why would she need a secretary?
"Will... you would need one now. The board would surely start calling you tomorrow once I send them the document with your name as the largest shareholder in the company. A meeting would then be scheduled. And…"
So complicated. "I don't want to meet them," Sera said. "I don't think I am a business person."
"Which is why you needed a representative. Since Mr. Quinn already mentioned that you would give the shares to him and let him acquire the company then… I suggest…"
"I think it is best to talk to Mr. Quinn about this," Sera said. "As my husband…. This is his job."
Hearing the word husband, Chris beamed and nodded. "I agree. You should talk to Lan Xing. As always, he would act as my representative in meetings like this."
