The Law of Attraction

Chapter 696: A Warning

The next morning, when Daryl woke up he stared lovingly at his wife sleeping soundly in his arms. Both of them were naked because his wife's kisses and touches woke him up. She was naturally naughty but had turned much wilder lately. He had a bright sparkling smile on his face as he removed a few strands of hair covering her face.

He could not help but feel fluttered as he recalled his wife's explanation that she had already had her dream wedding as it had been to the man of her dreams. He could not help but rejoice silently. He never felt so content in his life until Kenzie had arrived and crashed into his life. It was the kind of crash Daryl would love to feel over and over again.

He leaned forward and gave her a gentle peck on her forehead as he whispered, "I love you." He gently and carefully moved to leave the bed without waking her up. His wife needed to rest after their intense lovemaking just a few hours ago.

He quickly took a shower and got dressed. He gave Kenzie a kiss on her lips before he went out of their room.

While he was in his car, he received a call from Jorge. Daryl laughed, hearing Jorge whining on the phone.

"Alright take the day off today. I will take care of the rest, okay? I just have an important meeting this morning at Kenzie's company then I will head straight to Sy Law Firm. Geez, why are you such a crybaby? Go and have some fun. Bye."

He arrived early at Chua Group Building and the first thing he did was check with Cris if the Vice-Chairman was in her office.

"Yes, she's in her office already. She agreed to meet you at 8 am in your office," said Cris.

"No, I will go to her office instead. Please inform her," Daryl said as he printed all the data his paralegal had sent him. It would be better if Kenzie's aunt remained in her seat and he left because she might not be able to walk out of Kenzie's office after their meeting.

He grabbed the documents on his table when he saw that it was almost time for the meeting.

"I will leave now, Cris," Daryl informed and Cris nodded as she prepared the documents for Daryl's review of certain projects.

She looked at Daryl's retreating back and hoped that whatever he was about to say to Lenny would be enough to convince her to sign the papers that would transfer all responsibilities to Brix.

Daryl headed into Lenny's office and Kenzie's aunt was wearing a wide poker smile as she greeted him.

"Please sit," Lenny said, so Daryl took a seat on the couch and Lenny rose up from her seat to join him on the opposite side.

"I presume it's an important matter that you need to discuss, Daryl, and I guess you're here on behalf of Kenzie? I wonder why she didn't come and see me instead?" Lenny uttered as she offered Daryl some drinks which he refused.

"My wife is pregnant and I don't want her to stress over simple matters. I want to discuss the documents that Brix brought over for your signature and seal. I heard you refused to sign unconditionally?" Daryl casually queried.

Lenny looked at the copy of the documents Daryl put on her table and a wry smile curved her lips. "This is a family matter, between me and my son, so how is it that an outsider is here to discuss it, huh?" she mocked.

Daryl smiled and calmly replied, "I don't need to remind you that I am now part of Kenzie's family. This concerns the Chua Group so it's not suspicious if I discuss it as Kenzie's husband and Brix's brother-in-law. But anyway, I will get straight to the point. You have to sign these papers and send them to Cris before the day is over. Or starting tomorrow you will be facing the consequences of not making things easier for everybody."

"Are you threatening me?!" Lenny roared in a loud voice that reverberated from every corner of the room.

Daryl's face darkened. He put the papers on the table before he stood up and said, "Threatening is not my style but I will be generous and give you a warning as a family member of Father Jack. It's up to you to pay heed or not. Take a look at those papers and then decide. I will take my leave now as I have more important things to do."

After stating his piece, Daryl walked out of Lenny's office to return to Kenzie's office and wrap up important matters before going to the Sy Law Firm next.

Lenny's veins were popping out as she grabbed the documents that Daryl had left behind. Her eyes widened as she read what they were about. The documents contained the details of the funds that she had embezzled from the company through the years up to now. She thought she had made sure that it was all very discrete and no evidence would ever be found, so where did these documents come from?

Even the names of the people who had helped her were written in there. All the employees she had ever hired to assist her in her nefarious deeds, even the ones who were no longer a part of the group, everyone was on the list. She had been confident earlier because she knew that Kenzie could only convince the board to ask Lenny to step down from her position at the most, but the shares would still have remained with Lenny.

She had never imagined they would be successful in finding of this matter that could make her go to prison.

Then, on the last page, she saw a note.

[Sign the papers and you can go free and be a good mother and a good grandmother to your future grandkids. Or you can continue being stubborn and I will make sure you spend the rest of your years in prison. You do know what a prison is right? and how hard it is to stay alive inside? Again, I'm just giving you a warning and it's your choice, what scenario you will choose, the good or bad.]

Lenny gritted her teeth because she definitely did not want to spend even a single day in prison! With heavy hands, she grabbed the copy of the contract on the table and stared at it with linked eyebrows.
