Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

When Jonas mentioned the idea of a revote, a flash of excitement crossed Yannick’s face. He knew that a revote would be absolutely beneficial to him.

At such a critical moment, who knows if any of the lawyers changed their minds!

“If there are no objections, let’s proceed with the second round of voting now. The rules for the second round are the same as the first, majority rule. Lawyers who believe that Mr. Connor is qualified to inherit Mr. Steven’s inheritance, please raise your hands!” Jonas called out to the crowd with a serious expression.

“Mr. Jonas!” Thomas suddenly spoke up as Jonas finished his sentence.

Jonas turned his head towards Thomas, his expression puzzled. “Mr. Thomas, do you have something else to say?”

“When Chairman Steven drew up the will, he said something to me. He mentioned that if there were any issues with the will inheritance and disputes within the lawyer team, I would also have the right to participate in the voting. So, I believe I should have the right to participate in the previous vote as well!” Thomas calmly addressed Jonas.

Upon hearing Thomas’ words, Jonas couldn’t help but pause for a moment, and everyone present was stunned, their expressions filled with confusion.

“You… You also have the right to participate in the voting?” Yannick stood up abruptly, his mouth twisted as he shouted at Thomas, “You’re not even a member of the lawyer team, so what right do you have to participate in the voting?”

“This is what Chairman Steven told me before. The lawyer team consists of twelve lawyers in total. If a situation like the present arises, I have the right to exercise my voting power!” Thomas sternly replied.

“How do I know if you’re lying? Is there any evidence to prove that my grandfather said those words to you?” Yannick shouted at Thomas with intense agitation.

“I spent twenty years by your grandfather’s side. Do you think 1 would lie about this?” Thomas turned his head to glance at him, his expression filled with anger.

“How would 1 know if you’re telling the truth or not? There is no evidence to prove that my grandfather said those words to you. So, 1 disagree with your participation in this vote. What if you’ve conspired with Connor?” Yannick indignantly shouted at Thomas.

“Mr. Yannick, I’ve also heard Chairman Steven mention what Mr. Thomas just mentioned…”

However, at this moment, a sentence from Jonas shocked everyone present.

Even Thomas couldn’t help but turn his head towards Jonas.

“Not only did Chairman Steven mention this to Mr. Thomas, but he also said the same thing to me. So I think Mr. Thomas’ statement makes sense. When our lawyer team fails to reach a unified opinion, he is qualified to participate in the vote!” Jonas replied expressionlessly.

Yannick looked at Jonas in disbelief. He never expected him to stand up and speak for Thomas.

“Mr. Jonas, what… what do you mean by your w^ords? Have you conspired with Thomas?” Yannick shouted.

“Mr. Yannick, the purpose of our lawyer team’s existence is to help the company resolve legal issues, and secondly, to ensure the smooth implementation of Chairman Steven’s will. Mr. Thomas is also the executor of this will, so when there are problems with the will, he is qualified to participate in the vote!” Jonas replied expressionlessly.

“What… what are you all doing? Are you all ganging up on me? You haven’t followed my grandfather’s wall at all. My grandfather paid you so much salary, so much trust, just for you to help a stranger come against me, is that it?” Yannick was completely infuriated by Jonas’s words and shouted in a highly agitated manner.

“Mr. Li, precisely because Chairman Steven trusts us so much, we must use the most fair and just method to fulfill his will. And you have no relation to this will to begin with, so I hope you stop interfering with our w^ork as the lawyer team. Otherwise, I have the right to ask you to leave!” Jonas sternly addressed Yannick.

Upon hearing his w^ords, Yannick was completely stunned, standing still with a blank expression, unsure of what to do.

He had calculated every possibility, but he never expected that it would be Thomas and Jonas who would end up helping Connor in the end.

“Now’ let’s proceed with the second round of voting. This time, Mr. Thomas wall participate in the vote, and those who support Mr. Connor inheriting the estate, please raise your hands!” Jonas looked at the lawyers in the team, speaking in a serious tone.

“I agree!” Thomas didn’t hesitate and raised his hand.

“I also agree!” Jonas was the second person to raise his hand.

What happened next left Yannick dumbfounded. He never expected that all the lawyers present would raise their hands at the same time.

The result this time was not six to six, but a crushing thirteen to zero!

Seeing all the lawyers raising their hands, Yannick was completely dumbfounded, with an expression of shock on his face.

“What… what do you mean? Weren’t you all voting against before? Why are you all supporting Connor now? What is the meaning of this?” Yannick stood up and shouted at the lawyers.

The lawyers who had been bribed by him could only lower their heads and dare not say a word. These lawyers were not fools, and they were w^ell aware that Connor already had six votes. With Thomas joining at this time, it meant that he w^as definitely supporting Connor, so the final result would undoubtedly be in favor of Connor’s inheritance rights.

If that w^as indeed the case, Connor would become their boss in the future, and they naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to offend him at this point.

Upon seeing the result, Thomas showed a satisfied smile on his face. Regardless of the circumstances, his efforts had finally paid off..
