Chapter 283 - You Idiot!

13 April, Warren Gong's Villa, City K

Sitting in his study, having finally convinced his hysterical wife and daughter to have a spa day, Warren sat wondering about last night. It just seemed too convenient his sister pulled out of attending at the last minute, and his former niece-in-law was targeted. In that moment Warren decided that he needed to get the answers, so he picked up his phone and dialled the one person he needed a straight answer from.

After a few rings, the call was answered, and the voice snapped "Why in the world are you calling me so early?"

Sarcastically Warren said "It is not early darling sister. It is 11am. Do not say that you need beauty sleep…"

"Screw you!" came the angry reply.

Warren took a breath and said "That is sickening. You have a mind in the gutter. However, I did not ring to trade barbs with you. I need answers."

"Why should I bother with answers, you want nothing to do with me."

That told Warren all he needed. She wanted money. That was something he could easily fix. "If I pay you?"

"Pay me, no. Tear up the deal you forced me to sign but give me all the money it promised and give me what money when I want it, and I will thing about it."

Money hungry, that was obvious. No way was he going to give into that blackmail, but he decided to play a card up his sleeve. "That is not going to happen, but I will agree to pay for your weekly spa visits for twelve months."

On the other end of the phone, there was a pause, before "Make it two years, and twice weekly, and you have a deal."

That, while pushing the limits was generally acceptable, so Warren responded, "Two years, seventy visits per year."

"Fine, but no limits on my treatments," came the spat back response.

"Did I say that there were any limits, but I will review each bill and if you use it as a means to get cash, the deal is terminated."

"Fine," came the spat response. She was going to have to use some underhanded means to use it to get money that she wanted. "What do you want? I want to get to the spa since you are paying, but my spa visits will not count until I have the deal signed, but you are still paying for them."

Warren could not believe her. She is in it for what she wants. But she forgot about his background, earning his doctoral degree in law as a teenager, and even for a couple for a couple of years, teaching at the university law school. If he had to draft the agreement today, so be it. "You will have the agreement by the end of the day, but if it is not signed and returned by Friday, then forget about me paying for anything. Can you agree?"

Hearing a pause on the other end of the line, Warren, realised that his sister was thinking as to whether she could exploit the situation further. Knowing he needed to press his advantage, Warren added, with a firm but dangerous undertone "Do not take me for an idiot. You are p*ssed off with me as you believe I have broken the promise to our parents. As you p*ssed me off one too many times, all I simply did was pay you more than what you need for the remainder of your life to fulfill that promise. But I will give you one more sweetener to agree to the deal and tell me the truth, in that if you agree in the next ten seconds, I will give you a cash signing bonus."

"Fine, you have a deal." Was the somewhat resigned reply.

Taking a breath, instinctively knowing the answer to the question he was about to ask Warren said "I can tell when you are lying, so truthfully answer, what did you do last night?"

"Nothing. I just stayed at home."

That b*tch, was his first instinct. The question was not specific enough. "That is not what I meant, but so you cannot manipulate, where you behind the incident at the Nang Foundation event last night?"

"Why do you want to know, it does not concern you?"

"You idiot. Anything you do, will, regardless of whether I am tied with it, it will be linked to me and I do not damn well need the authorities looking too closely at me…"

"you are a legitimate businessman…"

"Are you stupid or not? You damn well know where the family wealth comes from. Our business has never been enough to generate that income, and you have to be stupid in your actions."

"I damn well told you, you needed to act to get my grandson into my care, and you refused so I have to act…"

"Refused, that is not the case, I wanted to be careful in acting to protect us rather than being rash…"

"Screw being careful, I need my grandson with me now…"

Warren had enough of the attitude. The spoilt brat that was his sister needed to be brought into line. He had to break his promise to Richard and reveal that he knew the truth.

Firmly, Warren said "Richard's son, your grandson? That is a joke. You know the truth, I know the truth, and the more you push the closer it becomes to the secret being released. Richard never touched Lexi. He loved his childhood sweetheart, the daughter of my associate Jasmine. Jasmine could not have children due to a childhood injury and opted to get Dominic as he at least had some genetic connection to the child for him and Jasmine to have a child and heir. Let me warn you now, you go too far again and I will hand over the proof of Dominic's parentage to Lexi Yao's lawyers and watch your law suit disappear."

"You would not?"

"I know the truth about the ownership of the shares you have, as Lexi Yao's parents had me structure the deal. Richard could do whatever he liked with the share income until he youngest child of his marriage with Lexi turns eighteen, then a lump sum for future income is paid and the shares transferred to the children of the marriage. They just could not be disposed of or used for capital. You push and you will loose that as well."

"B*stard."

"Mother and Father were well and truly married when I came along, but you are an idiot."

With that Warren ended the call.
