Chapter 90: You think you won
Theresa Mo heard the question and smiled faintly. She was going to hear what her defence would be. She had tried to colonize the company for herself and Tiana, her daughter. Lu Jingli has been their co accomplice and hence he couldn't be exposed without them being questioned as well.
"I.....I.. actually, I thought she was gone for good. I..I..di..dn.t.." Molly Mo was stammering.
Her lawyers became speechless. The number of times she had used the letter 'I' was more than they can count in a single sentence.
There seemed to be foul play to overturn the company somehow. Looks like they were doomed to lose this argument.
"Ms Mo, the day you came to me to inform me that Ms Theresa Mo was no longer a part of the Mo's business, you didn't stammer nor did you repeat the letter 'I' so many times.
You said that she went into exile and would never return to the company. You told me she left a will that all the properties be transferred to her sister.
I asked you to bring me a copy of the will to be filed, and you never brought it for years. Hence I didn't affect the charges in the file.
If I hadn't insisted that you bring the will before I effected it, I would have done a great mistake in scrabbling Theresa Mo's name from the Mo's business entirely.
When she returned from exile, Why didn't you inform me that she's back and automatically takes back her properties?
Is there anything fishy you are up to? Do you want to take her share of properties and make it your own?" Lewis Su asked.
Molly Mo said no quickly as Soon as the lawyer asked her the question. She looked paralysed. If someone was a novice about her intentions, the way Lewis Su talked now, her secret would become an open scandal.
Tiana Mo couldn't say anything about what they just said. She and her mother had been defeated. They had lost face and no one could defend them at the time.
It was her fault. Her mother had told her to get the documents from Lu Jingli back then and she wasn't serious about it.
When she decided to get it, it was late because the latter had hidden it away from her and she couldn't find it again. If they had collected it from him, they would long have burnt it and today, all these things they now are saying wouldn't have existed.
Their archenemy is Lu Jingli and not Theresa Mo. He had sold them out without collecting payment, Lu Jingli is a demon and someone never to be trusted. "Now what is the final conclusion?" Lewis Su asked. He had stayed longer than expected. He has a case he needs to defend in the court in an hour's time.
"Lu Jingli remains the President of Mo's business until he chooses to resign" Theresa Mo declared.
Looking at Tiana Mo Lewis asked "being the co partner with Ms Theresa Mo, do you have any other reasons why Lu Jingli should be removed?"
"For now, no," she answered. She doesn't have any other reasons that she can use to remove him. They have been rendered speechless and their plans have been punctured.
"Having heard from the two partners in ownership of the company, does anyone among you the shareholders have any reason to refuse Lu Jingli from continuing to be the President of the company?" Lewis Su asked.
The four seated shareholders shook their heads. They didn't see any reason why Lu Jingli should be replaced.
"This meeting is officially ended by my verdict, that Lu Jingli remains the President of the Mo's business until further notice" Lewis Su declared and stood up.
His assistant quickly stepped in and took the files, walking out after him. Everyone stood up except Theresa Mo who beckoned to one of her bodyguards.
"Go to the technical department and demand for the surveillance camera of this meeting" she whispered and the latter shook his head, walking out.
Theresa Mo looked at the angry mother and daughter and asked, "Lu Jingli, tell me how you have been running this company for the past four years and few months?"
Before Lu Jingli could answer, Molly Mo pointed fingers at them both "you think you won. No you didn't.
I will destroy you completely and ruin your lives. You Theresa Mo, I will make you suffer and your children won't be able to get a grain of rice in their mouth for days.."Molly Mo threatened. "Someone come, seize this woman and call the police" Theresa Mo declared. Lu Jingli called the securities department and said some men should be sent to his office immediately.
Tiana Mo was alarmed. Her mother gave an open threat. She would be held responsible if anything happens to Theresa Mo and her children or Lu Jingli.
Several men came to Lu Jingli's office and Theresa Mo instructed that Molly Mo be taken to the police station and her statement be taken that if anything happens to her sons or herself, Molly Mo should be held responsible.
Lu Jingli also filed his own complaints as well. Molly Mo was escorted out of the President office and her daughter followed. She couldn't say anything to Theresa and Lu Jingli.
Theresa Mo instructed Lu Jingli to get a copy of Molly's threats from the technical department and filed it against her in case it was needed.
She stood up and walked out. Lu Jingli saw her curvy shape and her beautiful face, and longed to have her in his arms.
He wished he could take her to his bed and kissed her lips again. He had only kissed her once but now, he wants to make love to her badly.
Theresa Mo used the elevator and got downstairs. The two bodyguards now joined her and she was driven back to the Li's Group.
As soon as she arrived, she went to see Junxie Li and the sight that greeted her was the two brothers arguing again.
"..I won't let you do whatever you like against someone else. If you like, divource her as soon as your child is born but now, my verdict is that you marry her.."Junxie Li was saying when Theresa Mo walked in. She gently went to take a seat. Julia Li was looking at his brother as if he was his enemy. He seemed to detest what his brother was saying.
"I don't blame you Junxie, you now have the mouth to talk to me like this because you have never found yourself in such situations.
You sit back here and enjoy your life when two lovely kids appear on your thighs without you stressing yourself out.
Why didn't you slip a ring through Theresa's fingers and call her your wife? You have a decent woman by your side and you want me to marry a loose one. You are mean" Julia accused him.
"I didn't ask you to sleep with her. And mind you, don't compare Theresa Mo with any one of your numerous women. You got what you deserve and now you don't want to take responsibility?" Junxie Li declared.
He was getting furious already. Theresa Mo just sat fondling with her fingers. Julia doesn't want this marriage but Junxie Li was insisting that he must go ahead with it.
"You won't even listen to dad but doggedly insist on doing what is in your mind. You should consider your own younger brother rather than a woman who I am not yet sure if the child is actually mine" Julia said, with his hands in his pants pocket.
"How am I supposed to know if the foetus is yours or not? You can't even be sure of yourself and yet want me to take sides with you against the existence of a potential member of Li's family.
I won't sit and watch my kids' cousin be flushed away like that. If you have another method to make Rita keep the pregnancy, please do" Junxie Li stated.
"You are not even married and want me to trap myself in that thing called marriage. You were Theresa's first man and her kids are your spitting image. Shouldn't I also..." Julia Li was not tired of pointing fingers at Junxie.
"Julia, get out!!" Junxie Li thundered and glared at Julia angrily. Seeing his brother was so angry, he turned back and was leaving.
"If you bring this topic before me again, I swear I will deal with you. I swear by my grandfather's grave!!" Junxie Li bellowed.
