Chapter 41 Lucas Sends Emma A Legal Notice

Chapter 41 Lucas Sends Emma A Legal Notice
Emma's POV

I spend the next few hours, worrying endlessly.

Lucas's words, giving me a bitter headache. I already have a lot on my plate, and now this?

I try to call Lucas, it rings for a few torturous seconds. The wait getting to me, I throw my phone on the pillow lightly. Groaning in annoyance.

Why isn't he picking up? He usually does.

Abruptly, I hear the bell ding. It's not my phone, but my doorbell. I rush to the door, thinking it might be Lucas but I find an old man, dressed in a suit.

His hair turned grey due to old age, his cheekbones round and shiny.

" Uh, who might you be? " I ask, dumbfounded.

" I'm Corner, Mr. Knight sent me. " He announces, grinning.

" You mean Lucas? " I ask confirming.

He nods.

" What for? " I ask, quirking my brow in confusion.

" Let me inside Miss and I'll explain it all to you. " He states.

I step away from the door, my body previously blocking the entrance.

He takes a seat.

" Would you like anything? " I ask, out of sheer politeness.

He bobs his head in no.

I then proceed to sit on the seat, opposite to him. He lays down a by doe of paper on the coffee table.

" Me Knight wanted me to give you a summary of all these. These are the cards, the record of the bank balance, previous transactions, a list of the property owned, and the multiple companies managed by late Mr. Noah. " He says, presenting them to me one by one.

I look at all of those with my mouth wide  open agape. 

"Why...are you telling me all that? " I ask, mindlessly.

" Because all this was signed to your name before....Mr. Noah departed from this works. It's all yours now Miss. " He explains with a certain excitement.

This piece of information, to me, isn't one to be happy with. I never wanted his money. Why did he have it all to my name?

' Live for me a little. '

The line repeats in my head. Maybe, Noah just wanted me to live freely. Without worrying about Tim or any expenses or bills. He just wanted for me to be happy, without caring for his own self.

Fresh tears form in my eye but I blink them away. Not wanting to cry in front of this strange man.

" There is a problem though. You see, after Mr. Noah's...death Mr. Night has been taking care of all the business for you. He didn't want to burden you with all of the responsibilities so soon but it seems he suddenly changed his mind. He withdrew from your company, which he was previously managing, and wants me to inform you that now you are the CEO, the one responsible to all the people of the company and to the company itself. You can visit the office and see for yourself. " He informs.

I just nod my head. It's true, Lucas had been handling it all for me. I've upset him so much that now he isn't even willing to help me.

I do not know how I will handle it on my own, I know nothing. I could hardly manage as his secretary.

" And there is one last thing. This is a legal notice. " He days extending a piece of paper forward. His voice losing it's jolly nature, taking up a more serious tone.

" If you the child is aborted without clear notice to Mr. Lucas with a valid reason you will have to present the case in court provided that Mr. Lucas is willing to marry you and provide for the baby, Miss Emma you will need a solid reason and that too with proof. Nothing with proof will work, I've been a lawyer for more than twenty years, one of the best in the country. All I wish to tell you is, the court requires proof and that is something hard to find against a powerful man like Lucas. " He states boldly.

" I hope you take my advice. " The old man says, before picking up his bag and leaving.

The door shuts, with a loud thud leaving me in a state of utter distress.
