Offer to the CEO

Sunday, continued …

King turned and spat back "Toff, shut it. We asked him not to say anything as there would be no damn way, we would have got you here so we could get any explanation as to what is going on."

"Why do I owe you any explanation, you …"

Anna realised that this was going to get out of control, and despite the conflict between Hou Yi and King, Anna liked King as a friend. He was loyal to a fault, to those he cared about. Given what she had gotten from the others, the loss of his wife had really changed him, and she could picture how she would be if something happened to Yi, her world would almost be at an end.

Anna, simply leaned over and gave Yi a passionate kiss, stopping him in his tracks. When she pulled back, she whispered in his ear "They are Amanda and Tan's guests, plus they are my friends, so you better play nice or you can sleep in a spare room tonight. Plus, I want a proper explanation as to why there is this issue between you and King. Now will you play nice?" Anna then gently bit his ear, before pulling back and looking into his eyes.

Hou Yi, as soon as his eyes locked onto Anna's could only respond with a quiet "Yes Dear."

Amanda, oblivious to what had just happened, said "Come on out onto the deck. There is just not the space here for all of us, and it is too nice of a day to use the formal dining room."

Following Amanda, everyone walked onto the deck, and saw Junior and Ton in the pool. Once they realised who was coming outside, they both pulled themselves out of the pool and greeted everyone, before heading inside to return to their rooms to change before returning to join everyone else.

While they were away, King turned and spat to Hou Yi and Yao Tan "What in the world are you letting happen."

Knowing Alecia's wish that Junior and Tan were not to know too much about what was happening, Amanda said. "Sit down and be quiet. Alecia does not want her brothers to know what has happened as they are too hot-headed and will act without thinking or respecting her wishes. You, however, will respect her wishes, despite being hot headed."

The tone in Amanda's voice stopped King, Lizard, Shark, Croc, Tiger, Lion and Snake from reacting or saying anything. Everyone, including those wives present all knew, despite their own families, the princess was special for all of them. They helped protect and raise her with Yao Tan was a little lost lamb.

When everyone as seated, Amanda turned to say "Now Alecia initially did not want to say anything until she got back, but some nameless ones here have been phoning to work out what is happening. What we know was Lu Jinhu's involvement was from blackmail from his father."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.comfor visiting.

"The whys and wherefores do not matter, but while we all know he is evil given everything he has done to Alecia and more importantly Anna the bigger evil is his father. He had footage as to what happened to Alecia, that he has provided to the prosecution. Apparently, Lu Jingho intended to use this for blackmail purposes"

"It is not the first time that he has done that to a young girl and used the footage against her parents for a business purpose. Alecia was simply lucky that something clicked in Lu Jinhu which prevented him from handing over the footage. Alecia, however, knows the full story and agreed to a particular penalty for him."

"Before you say anything, the penalty however is subject to cooperation with prosecution of his father. What is in the agreement and its existence is confidential until the matters involving Alecia settle before the courts. Alecia wants everyone to respect her and James' decision, because in her words, she needs to work towards closure from what happened and without getting this she knows she will not get a resolution that she can live with."

"The other matter is something we all knew. Lu Jingho would buy his way out of as many charges as he could. The court are giving him another three weeks, but the existence of each agreement and certain information must be publicly released."

"Those artists now employed by XF International, Hou Enterprises or the joint venture all know that such agreements to resolve the matters need to be run by their lawyers, particularly given the money paid out for some of them to break their contracts with Lu Corporation. The suspicion is that Lu Jingho will buy himself out of all but about 200 charges, down from the current 850 charges."

"Damn it" came Shark. "I thought that he would go down on everything."

Snake returned fire "You know the legal system as well as us, particularly given your own past. The Queen is right, we had anticipated it, but and sorry for the pun, the sharks are circling around Lu Corporation, seeing what they can get out of it. CEO Yang and the team he has appointed basically have no current option as to a interim CEO for Lu Corporation, and while there is no senior management experience from …"

"Lu Sang." Came Croc's interrupted name.
