The two documents were placed in the center of the table, and the bottom line of both sides had been clearly revealed, and the atmosphere became very tense for a while.

At this moment, Ward suddenly laughed softly and said, "Jerry, your humor has always been your highlight, but come on, you can't even prove who he is." At best he was a madman, at worst he was a liar. So accept our offer and thank you that we are not going to sue. ”

"Ward!" Joey couldn't help but remind Ward that what he had just said was very ambiguous, and if he did go to court, the word "crazy" alone would be enough for a capable lawyer like Jerry Hogarth to start a fierce fight.

Hearing Joey say this, Ward's somewhat arrogant expression began to retract a little, while Hogarth on the opposite side sneered disdainfully.

For the current senior management of the RAND Group, Hogarth knows very well that Ward and Joey, the two siblings, firmly control the board of directors and the entire RAND Group by virtue of their own equity, but between the two of them, Ward is relatively the brainless person, Joey is the real advice, if something Joey insists on, Ward can only give up, on the surface, Ward is the chairman of the board of directors of the group, but Joey has the greatest influence.

Hogarth turned to look at Ward and said in a deep voice, "I'm glad you mentioned my sense of humor, I thought my ass was the biggest highlight." As for the proof of identity you said......"

As he spoke, Hogarth took out a yellowish piece of pottery from his briefcase, which he had visited earlier in the living room of Joey's apartment.

Seeing this thing, Ward and Joey glanced at each other, then picked up the pottery and asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?" ”

"You turn it over." Daniel Rand finally opened his mouth for the first time at today's meeting.

Ward did as he said, and moved the pottery in his hand, and met the bottom of the pottery with these words written on it: For Joey, I wish you a happy birthday - Danny!

"You know, I've never been very good at spelling." Seeing Ward's somewhat discolored expression, Daniel Rand's somewhat shy expression revealed a sharp killing intent, and this pottery was his killer weapon.

Do you want to rely on handwriting identification? Ward took a deep breath and said, "This thing can't prove anything, anyone can do it." ”

The problem of handwriting identification, finding an expert can achieve 90% similarity, and this font was written by Daniel Rand 15 years ago when he was a child, after so many years, it has definitely changed a lot, with this handwriting identification, I want to get an identity certificate from the court, unless these lawyers hired by Ward are dry, otherwise it is simply impossible.

But is it really just like that?

At this time, Hogarth leaned forward slightly, and then followed: "Look closely, in the place where the clay protrudes, there is a child's fingerprint, right next to Joey's name, I assure you, it will be an exact match, and I will be happy to ask Joey for evidence of the provenance of this bowl." ”

Hearing Hogarth say this, Ward turned to look at Joey and asked with suppressed anger, "How did they get this thing?" ”

"I don't know!" Joey shook his head with the same grimace, and looked at Daniel Rand with anger in his eyes.

Ward turned his head to look at Daniel Rand and gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you steal this thing?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Hogarth interrupted Ward's questioning to prevent Daniel from falling into his question trap, while emphasizing that "you should know that this is tenable in court, and we only need to prove this to prove Danny's identity." ”

"Okay!" Ward turned the pottery in his hand back over, and then pressed it towards Hogarth, and said, "I will use the motion, delay, discovery and forensics, and drown you, and he will not want to get a dime for ten years or even longer." ”

This is the ultimate means of rich people, even if they know that they have broken the law, as long as they are willing to throw a lot of money, it is not very difficult to delay the case indefinitely, in this case, it will force the prosecution or the prosecution to have to reach a settlement agreement with them, although the prosecuted party still has to pay a great price, but compared to the price they originally had to pay, it is much lighter.

Ward Meacham didn't even think about paying too much price, in his opinion, the original $40 million was enough to be generous, and Joey insisted on adding $100 million, which was already the limit of what he could accept.

But in fact, in the eyes of many people, Ward is a little too picky, too greedy, anyway, with Daniel Ward's identity, it is reasonable to easily obtain more than 20% of the shares, and even require more than 51% of the shares, the law is recognized.

Ward Meacham has always put Daniel on the opposite side of himself, but he has never thought of wooing him, which cannot but be said to be the limitation of his thinking.

Hogarth didn't care about Ward's danger at all, she had enough time and energy to fight this lawsuit, and similarly, she was also very wealthy in terms of financial resources, don't forget, Hogarth was the co-legal counsel of the Rand Group, Stark Group and Siwei Group, and the annual consulting fee was a large amount, not to mention the huge connections he had accumulated over the years, and it was not so easy for Ward Meacham to drag the case on.

It is ironic that when a rich person fights a lawsuit with a rich person, the law will truly stand on an equal footing.

"Then we'll see you in court." Hogarth said softly without paying attention, then put the crockery back in his briefcase, got up and left the conference room, Daniel was about to leave after her, but at this time, Ward stopped him: "Everything could have been easy, you could have taken that money and lived a good life." ”

"That's my name, and it makes sense." Daniel Rand glanced at Ward and Joey, and then left the office as well.

At the end of the meeting, Ward angrily got up and left the office, leaving Joey sitting there to discuss with a few lawyers, and it wasn't until late in the evening that they came up with a more suitable plan for delaying!

Back in her office, Joey couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then stood up and searched the front of the refrigerator, took out a bottle of cold Coke from it, and took a big sip, but just when she turned around, she almost screamed in fright, because she saw Skye who didn't know when she appeared there, she gasped, couldn't help but pat her chest, and said, "Why don't you say a word?" ”

"I really didn't expect you to give that thing to Daniel Rand, it looks like you're still nostalgic." Skye's words were said by Ward, and if Ward heard it, his face would definitely turn pale in an instant, and he would never have thought that the pottery that could prove Daniel Rand's identity over there was quietly delivered to Daniel and Hogarth.

And at this time, I heard Skye continue: "The matter you asked me to check has already been raised. ”

Seeing Skye nodding, Joey couldn't help but change his face, clenched his fists and said, "So my dad is really not dead?" ”

To be honest, Joey never doubted the truth about his father's death, and even mentioning her father when Daniel came to her that day, which made her extremely angry, because Daniel really remembered wrong, her father's most accustomed cologne was not CK, but Mark Jacobs.

At that time, Joey was very angry and thought that Daniel's previous statement that her father went to the mental hospital to see him was just a rhetoric used to confuse her, so her face instantly turned pale, and finally coldly took out the terms drawn up by Ward for Daniel to sign.

In fact, she was furious that day, and it wasn't until a few days ago that Joey mentioned their father to his brother Ward more, and Joey was shocked to realize that 15 years ago, before the Daniel family had an accident, her father's habitual cologne was CK, and it wasn't until after the Daniel family's accident that her father changed the used cologne to Mark Jacobs, and when you think about it, Daniel Rand may not have lied that day.

Could it be that her father is really not dead?
