Chapter 279
Wendy took a few steps forward and stopped Audrey.
Zoe was worried about Wendy. She caught up to Wendy, supported her and glared at Audrey. "Wendy, you just fainted. Calm down."
Wendy did not get the shares because of Audrey. Zoe was also mad at Audrey.
"Angel!" Wendy looked at Audrey angrily. "Give me the shares transfer contract!"
Audrey smiled at Wendy, who got in the way.
"Miss Wendy, why should I give you the contract?"
"The commission letter must be fake. My sister won't give it to you!"
Audrey sneered and narrowed her eyes. She stared into Wendy's eyes. "Really? Are you sure? She is my client."
Wendy wanted to say that her sister Audrey had disappeared six years ago. However, Toby did not know about this. When he went to see Audrey three years ago, Wendy had someone act like Audrey, which made Toby think that Audrey became a slut. If Wendy told the truth, Toby would find her lying.
However, Wendy was sure that her sister was dead. How could a dead woman compete with her for the shares?
Therefore, the commission letter must be fake. Wendy would never admit it.
She gritted her teeth. "Yeah, I'm sure. Anyway, you should give me the shares of my family company."
"I'm sorry, Miss Wendy. I'm a lawyer. I have the responsibility of keeping the shares for my client. I can't give the contract to anyone before she agrees."
Wendy's eyes lit up.
"That's easy!" Wendy was cunning. "I can hire you now. I'll be your client, and then you can give me the contract."
Audrey was speechless and thought, "Does she think I'm an idiot?"
She stressed, "No way!"
"Why?" Wendy's voice quivered with excitement. "I know you're Audrey's lawyer. But why can't you work for me? Don't worry. I can give you ten times more money than the money Audrey gave you!"
Ten times more. Wendy had put in a lot of effort.
"Wow!" Audrey lowered her head and smiled.
Wendy's eyes flashed. She thought that Audrey changed her mind. She continued, "Yes, ten times. It will be transferred to your personal account if you give me the contracts!"
Wendy had a calculating mind.
Ten percent of the Munn Group's shares could earn her more than ten million each year. And she only had to pay a few hundred thousand at most. It was a good deal.
Wendy knew that it was the best choice, but Audrey was no fool.
Of course Audrey would go for the tens of millions.
She put on an apologetic expression and said regretfully, "The Bar Association has an unwritten rule that a lawyer can not work for the complainant and defendant at the same time. I might be expelled from the association if they knew about it. I'm sorry. I can't do it, Miss Wendy."
Wendy rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry. I can talk to them. Give me the contract first."
"No," Audrey said with a smile, "For the sake of my career, I can't take any risks. If you want the contracts, talk to the association first. Anyway, I'm keeping my options open."
Wendy knew that Audrey would not give her the contracts today.
"Alright. When I hire you, you must give me the contracts."
"Sure." Audrey smiled. "So said, so done."
As they were talking, Simon walked over and asked,
"What's going on? Great Grandma could be discharged from the hospital. Why are you standing here?"
"Oh, I met a friend," replied Audrey.
Wendy, Toby, and Zoe all turned to look at Simon.
Wendy recognized him.
"Are you Simon Randall?" Wendy asked, frowning at Simon.
Simon glanced at her. "Do I know you?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Hi, Mr. Randall, I'm Wendy Munn. I've seen you at your mother's fashion party."
Simon glanced at Wendy indifferently. He didn't want to talk to her. He handed Audrey a receipt. "You forgot this."
Audrey took over the receipt and thought of something.
"I was thinking that I might have forgotten something."
"You can check out now. I will go up first."
"Alright!"
Simon and Audrey nodded at Wendy and the others, then turned around and left.
After they left, Zoe grabbed Wendy's hand and asked, "Wendy, do you know that man?"
Wendy looked at Audrey's back with jealousy. "Of course. He's Bryson's nephew. I was wondering why Bryson, the president of the Cordova Group, hired Angel as the consultant and lawyer of his company. It turns out that Angel is close to his nephew."
Since Audrey had a close relationship with Simon, Wendy could not force Audrey to work for her. Audrey had a powerful protector. She was not short of money. Wendy could only persuade the Bar Association and then ask Audrey to give her the contracts.
...
After checking out, Audrey returned to the ward upstairs.
Audrey had told Simon not to feed Kylee meat. Simon did as she said. Audrey helped Kylee pack up her things.
When Kylee went to the bathroom to wash her hands, Simon gave Audrey a meaningful look and asked,
"Audrey, who were you talking to in the hall? Your half-sister?"
"Yeah," Audrey packed Kylee's things and replied without looking back.
"What did she say?"
"Nothing. She wanted me to give her the transfer contracts."
Simon was shocked. "She is so shameless. It doesn't belong to her. How dare she asks for it! She must be crazy."
