Seducing The Ice Queen

Grandma Ye stared at the documents in front of her in shock. Her hands trembled in shock and she had no idea what to say to this. Her son had done a DNA test with Alice and it had come back unmatched? How could he? She had known that in his heart, James was desperate to gain the company. It was why she had held onto the eleven percent shared but he would falsify the DNA reports. Her son had fallen to an all new level. I

If he had said that Samual was not his real son, she would have believed that because his son's present wife was a classic example of a white lotus but their Qin Jia had been madly in love with their son and totally devoted to him. It was why she had even ignored her own daughter so that she could follow her husband. But now...

Looking at her son who sat across her, Lady Ye asked, "Even if this is true, then what do you want me to do James? We have brought up that child as a granddaughter and to us she is going to remain that regardless of any blood relations. And before you protest that I have been partial, please remember that I have only left this house to Alice while most of my money has been given to your biological son."

"Mother! How can you say this? How can you call that woman your granddaughter when she has no relation to me? And how can you claim to be fair. Since that Alice has no connection to me, then she had no right to all the shares that grandfather left her! It is all supposed to belong to Samual!"

"I thought Samual did not want a part in the Faye Group." Lady Ye turned her sharp eyes to Samual questioningly and continued, "He has repeatedly assured me of his lack of interest. Unless you have changed your mind, Samual?"

Samual realized that he had fallen into his own trap! He had repeatedly said this to gain the old woman's trust and now he could not refute it. He looked at his father trying to hint him and then at Lady Ye, "Yes, you are right, grandma."

Taking the hint, James Faye protested, "Mother! It doesn't matter whether he wants it or not! I want him to have it! I have worked hard for the company to give it to my son, not some outsider! And since that woman is not my daughter, I want you to help me reverse father's will. I had planned to go to court and put the blame on Alice for her duplicity but now I have discovered that father was aware of this. So he had left me no choice, I will apply to the court that he was not mentally stable and I want you to testify to that in court."

Even though Lady Ye was old with frail bones and her spine bent from age, when she heard what her son had to say about her beloved husband she was so angry that she directly slapped James Faye on the face. A resounding sound echoed through the hall as the father and son duo stared dumbfounded.

"How dare you, James Faye! You were a horrible husband and an even worst father but I always thought that you have been a good son. You have proved me wrong today! A person who has merged with heaven must be respected so that even his faults must not be mentioned but you want to prove to the world that your late father was senile? And you want me to help you with that? I will never do that and let me tell you if you ever repeat what you just said and try to say bad things about your father, I will disown you! And Alice was given those shares not because she is your daughter but because she is Qin Jia's daughter and your betrayal made us realize how much we owed Qin Jia. Those shares would have gone to Qin Jia had she been alive! You understand?  And from now on you are not welcome in this home! Get out of my house, now!"

James Faye glared at his mother and marched out of the house but not before he threatened, "Mother! This is not over. You can try to do what you want but don't forget you are merely an old woman, not in this world for long. This time it was indigestion but next time it will be your heart."

Lady Ye almost crumbled to the ground as she heard her own son curse her to death. She would have fallen if not for Samual who caught her arm at the last moment and helped her into a chair before kneeling down in front of her. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Grandma. I am sorry on behalf of father. He was just angry and that is why he said all this. You know how sister has been behaving with him in the past but even then he always tried to keep his cool because she was his daughter. But this has come as a shock to him! Please grandma don't take it to your heart. And don't be angry. It will only harm you."

Lady Ye cooled down a bit and looked at the boy who was holding his temper well and trying to console her even when he was the one his father was fighting for. Lady Ye extended her hand and patted his head as she said," You are a good boy Samual. Tell me do you also blame us old people for being partial?"

Of course I do, you oldie. All this belongs to me and you are giving it to that bit**. But naturally he did not say it out loud. Instead putting on a concerned and slightly guilty expression, he said, "Grandma, even though I can understand your love for Alice, I can also understand what my father is feeling at this moment. As a man, I would want my own children to inherit something that I have worked hard for all my life. If Alice had shown him respect as a father, maybe he would have relented and softened, but Alice's attitude towards father is also intolerable."

Letting his statement hang in there, he observed the old woman fall into thought before he decided to play the next card. His fingers tightened a bit on her frail hands and he looked away from her as if hesitant to talk about what he wanted to say. Lady Ye noticed this and asked tiredly, "Tell me what is on your mind, Samual?"

"Grandma. There is something that I think can help pacify father. And I wouldn't blame you if you refused but at this time I have no choice but to ask, "The eleven percent shares that Grandfather left in your guardianship... can you transfer those to father? This way grandfather's wish of repaying Madam Qin Jia will also be fulfilled and father who has been snubbed in the business world after Alice's treatment will also be appeased."

Lady Ye nodded at this but did not agree immediately. He would have doubted the old woman had even heard him had she not nodded but she was not agreeing! Dam* it. They had set up this evening scene with his father playing the bad cop and him playing the good cop just to get those eleven percent shares but this woman. He wanted to urge her to agree but reminded himself to be patient.

Finally, the old woman sighed deeply and looked back at Samual in defeat. He felt victory course through him at the thought that he will finally have the eleven percent shares but then the next moment it was gone as the old lady Ye said," I will think about it Samual. Now, it is very late. I need to rest. Why don't you go home?"

With that, the old woman rung the bell for the butler who immediately walked in and helped up the old woman. Grinding his teeth in frustration, Samual was tempted to choke the woman's neck! That would be easier actually! They could just produce a fake will for the woman.

As the old woman reached the door to leave the room, Samual calmed himself and called out from behind, "Grandma, I will call you tomorrow to know your decision. After that, I don't know how long I can hold off father from announcing this to the outside world."

The hidden threat brought a small smile to the old woman's face. She really had been fooled by Samual all this while. And Alice had pulled off Samual's mask with one single stroke. She always knew her grand daughter was too powerful and the girl had proven it once again. As she lay down on the bed, she ordered, "Butler Han.. Let my granddaughter know that I need her."
