Offer To The CEO

609 Another Friday, Another Court Day - Part 4

Friday, continued…

Earlier in the day

Despite having spoken regularly over the last week to Phillipa in the phone, Anna was continuing to stress out about the current situation.?Here she was coming up towards being five months pregnant and despite the most loving relationship she could ever dream of, she was constantly having to relive the past.?Lu Jingho's ongoing actions ensured that he was constantly in the news and the fact to the world Lu Jinhu's home detention period was about to end meant that he was joining his father in the news.

Added to that, was now what Alister Nang raised with them last week, and that Hou Yi had set the investigators on. Anna could see the strategy in appointing the only female lawyer on his team to head it. If she was on the defense side she would have repeatedly recommended the same strategy given the nature of the charges. Tthe other side of it, indicated the potential for a deal to help her career in exchange for a s*xual relationship. That, for Anna was unethical and so manipulative. It personally told Anna, if it was true, how little respect he had for the system.

The additional problem that it created for her, was these ongoing actions and manipulations were dragging her constantly front and centre in drama that she did not want to be in.?Lu Jingho was not willing to let things be and was determined to ruin her and Hou Yi's life.?On the other hand, even though Lu Jinhu was manoeuvring to make sure that he could, in the end become Lu Corporation's CEO, he had started to have some understanding of the consequences of his actions.

The more concerning fact was Yang Ling, who was repeatedly using the media, without stepping over the court orders, to harass and badmouth her. What was worst was the comments that she made on Monday that, effectively called her a manipulator and portrayed her as a victim. That was trying to undermine her professional skills. As Phillipa told her, she has to try and ignore her, but that is easier said than done, given that Yang Lin was trying to take back the position that she feels was always hers, someone who controlled society, and in that time people had moved on from that position.

Hou Yi at that moment, walking into the Lounge where Anna was sitting, and said "Anna, stop worrying about things. I know what your issue is, Yang Lin and her actions. She is not worth your time to consider. People are seeing her for what she is, and her nasty actions are not working as she is somewhat lacking in her ability to enforce her will."

"Yi, easier said than done. As I told Phillipa, I cannot easily do that, as she is making me re-live everything that happened time and time again."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Comfor visiting.

"Anna, darling, you need to talk face to face with Phillipa, and get your head straight. She messaged me overnight, and her grandfather's funeral is next Wednesday at the Family Estate in England. She told me that despite everything, she will talk to you about what is happening." After a brief pause, Hou Yi continued "I have arranged for the jet to take us to Europe over the weekend. I was having to go in a couple of weeks anyway for meetings, and Assistant Wang is working to bring those forward to next week, around the funeral. Now come on, we need to head to the court for today's hearing."

"Any to figure out how many more charges he has gotten rid of??What have you and Alister found out about the agreement he may have struck with Jane Gang?"

"Anna, you should be getting your head around parts of the criminal legal system here. Money talks compensate victims and they can decide for charges not to proceed. You know he will not get rid of all of them."

"True, but Lu Jingho has no control, given what he did last week.?You did not answer my second question though."

"Anna, we know Lu Jingho is out of control, but we are protected, so pay him no attention.?As to the other part of the question, the investigators hopefully will have an update for us today."

After sitting through the case Anna, Hou Yi Amanda and Yao Tan all walked out of the courtroom together.?Tang Din and the staff member, both indicated to Alister that they would talk to him next week but wanted to get out of the courthouse at this time.?Alister nodded at that, because he could see that they were unwell still, as a result of Lu Jangho's attack on them.

Alister Nang had no news about the investigations before the court hearing, however just as Tang Din left the courthouse one of the investigators arrived to provide an update.?Anna, Hou Yi, Amanda, Yao Tan and Alister Nang all headed into a room with the investigator who spoke.
