Chapter 1294
Again, it was a sunny Saturday.
Anthea walked out of the apartment building. She was dressed neatly today. It was obvious that she had deliberately dressed up - she wore a casual suit with light gray stripes and white chiffon anklelength pants.
It looked like she was dressed up to handle something important.
"Hello, Lawyer Zurn!"
She picked up the phone and replied, "Well, I'm going out now. See you later!"
She stopped a taxi on the side of the road, got in, and drove away in the golden sunlight.
Not long after, a military green jeep parked not far away slowly started and followed the taxi.
The taxi stopped at the house of the Hsu family.
After getting off the car, Anthea walked along the private road. Lawyer Zurn had arrived earlier than her and was waiting for Anthea.
She was about 35-year-old, wearing a black suit and black-framed glasses. A thin woman looked very stiff and boring. Even with her high-heel shoes, she was nearly the same height as her.
Lawyer Zurn must have been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Anthea, she came over with her briefcase, waited for a long time. "Miss Lee!"
"Let's go in!" Anthea nodded.
Master Hsu made his will six years ago.
At that time, Anthea had suffered a series of blows. Immersed in the sorrow of losing two beloved persons in a row, she was in no mood for other things. The only thing that she'd like to do was go far away to other countries with Mr. Zanon, her teacher.
She had to put off claiming the inheritance from Master Hsu for a long time.
In the past six years, she was abroad and had not dealt with this matter. As a result, Jayden Hsu, her uncle, occupied many fixed assets and company stocks that Master Hsu gave to her. Now if she signed the documents and claimed the inheritance, he would have to return the property belong to Anthea according to the law.
When she returned from abroad, she met him briefly in the cemetery. After that, Anthea had never seen any Hsu family members.
For her, the Hsu family was no longer the same as before. In fact, except for Master Hsu, she had never felt connected to any other Hsu family members.
Now as an unwelcome visitor, Anthea had pictured various awkward scenes that might happen today.
Upon taking a deep breath, she walked into the villa after Lawyer Zurn.
Servants in the villa of the Hsu family was as busy as always.
The previous housekeeper was still there. The housekeeper saw her and went inside to report her arrival. Then Jayden came downstairs. He was displeased as soon as he saw Anthea. "What are you doing here?"
His eyes fell on Lawyer Zurn next to Anthea.
Lawyer Zurn took out a business card from her bag and politely handed it over. "Hello, I am Lawyer Zurn from the lawyer's office. This is my business card!"
After seeing her business card, Jayden frowned.
Madam Jiles happened to be at home. After hearing the sound downstairs, she also came down. Like her son, she hated to see Anthea.
A servant simply brought two cups of water and put them on the tea table.
Anthea did not drink it. She guessed that if it were not for Lawyer Zurn, Madam Jiles and Jayden would have driven her out directly.
Jayden looked extremely impatient.
Lawyer Zurn took the initiative to state her purpose of coming. "Before his death, Master Hsu asked to deal with the case about Miss Lee. He made a will and left her some property. This time, I came to bother you because Miss Lee wants to get the inheritance according to this will!"
After Jayden and Madam Jiles heard this, their faces changed drastically.
Madam Jiles said in a sharp voice. "What? You came here to get the property?!"
"Anthea, how could you be so shameless to come back to inherit the property?!" Jayden was also very excited. He jumped up from the sofa and pointed at her furiously. "Listen! You'll get nothing here! I won't give you a penny!"
The mother and son, filled with a common hatred, exchanged a look.
Before Master Hsu suddenly died in a car accident, he made a will.
Anthea had been abroad for the past six years. Although Master Hsu had given her some property, she did not collect it. So, Jayden, thinking that she would never come back for the property, took her share as his own and had no intention of giving it back to her at all!
Who did not love money? In the face of huge interests, everyone might harbor evil thoughts.
She got back to inherit her property, but how could Jayden hand over it to her?!
He was not willing to give her a single penny!
Anthea pursed her lips.
She actually did not want to get any property from the Hsu family. It was just that Master Hsu made a will and gave her some. Besides, Lawyer Zurn had been urging her to deal with the will. Now she just wanted to use the money to help others. She had never thought of spending the money on herself.
Jayden's face looked fierce. "If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have had a car accident. You killed him! You are a murderer! I tell you, you can never inherit the property. It's entirely your wishful thinking!" Anthea clutched her hands tightly.
Her heart was trembling in pain.
Jayden's words pierced her heart like a sharp dagger.
In a trance, she saw he threw a teacup at her face. Fortunately, she responded in time and tilted her head slightly. The cup then hit the wall behind her, but the hot water still splashed on her.
Lawyer Zurn did not expect such an unexpected change. She widened her eyes in surprise and said, "Mr. Hsu, what are you doing?! Miss Lee and I are here to deal with the will according to the legal process. How can you be rude?!"
Jayden was furious when the teacup missed Anthea. Overwhelmed by anger, he strode across the table to hit her.
Anthea could not wait to be hit. She gritted her teeth and stood up. "The lawyer is here. How can you dare to use violence?!"
Jayden, who was never a gentleman, rolled up his sleeves and threatened fiercely like a gangster. "Why can't I do that? I'm your elder, so it's perfectly justified for me to teach you a lesson. Don't forget that you're in the villa of the Hsu family!"
"Anthea, shame on you! Six years ago, you shamelessly seduced your uncle-in-law and caused my dad's death. And now you come back to compete for the property! I will beat you to death!" Anthea's face turned pale and subconsciously ducked to the side.
As a violent rage possessed Jayden. He glared at her with eyes blazed with fury as if he was determined to teach her a harsh beating.
At this time, he had to be tough!
In fact, Jayden had his own wishful thinking. He took Anthea's property. Now if he beat her hard and make her feel afraid, she might no longer dare to mention the inheritance before him. Anthea, her eyes alert, felt the hairs on the back of her neck prickled.
She wanted to defend herself, but the servants called over by Jayden pounced on her and brought her under control.
Lawyer Zurn wanted to help, but she was too thin and small to push her way forward. The others kept her away from Anthea.
Jayden came up to Anthea aggressively and raised his fist high in front of her. He did not intend to show any mercy at all. His fist to her even brought a gust of wind!
His fist would soon fall on her; Anthea's breath rasped in her heaving chest.
Suddenly, a powerful arm popped out and warded off the punch.
Anthea was stunned. "Adam..."
