YM778.TV Chapter 259 Agreement to Buy the Mansion
Kanae sighed internally as she put on an amiable smile on her face. When she saw Laura stood near the falling lamp, her heart almost dropped to the deepest pit. She had to push forward every strength in her body to reach her sister’s place and protected the girl from the lamp.
Even if she got wounded hard, she wouldn’t care as long as Laura was safe. She couldn’t bear the thought of seeing Laura got hurt. Their life in this city was already hard enough. She didn’t want to make things even harder for Laura. All she hoped for this girl was the latter’s happiness.
"You should rest. Tomorrow, you’re going to take care of the matter about the mansion too."
"Ah," Laura raised her head. She had almost forgotten that they already got the mansion’s deed back. With it, as long as they could gain the acknowledgment from Frank, their uncle would never be able to take it back from them.
"Did you forget?" Kanae teased when she saw Laura’s expression.
Laura pursed her lips. "How can I remember that when you’re getting wounded so hard like this?"
"Should I be happy?"
"SIS!"
Kanae laughed. "I’m just kidding. Anyway, I already ask my friend to provide an account in a different name for us. You only need to transfer money to there and use them to purchase the mansion. After this incident, I believe our uncle won’t hesitate to sell the rundown mansion."
With the current condition of the mansion, it would take hundreds of millions to do the repair. Frank wouldn’t want to waste so much money to repair the building if he could just sell them.
In the first place, Frank only bought the mansion for fun. He didn’t really have much interest in that mansion when he already has a lot of them in this city. The wealth that Nali Family possessed truly worth to be one of the four biggest families in this city.
However, it didn’t mean they would treat hundreds of millions of money like dirt. It was still very valuable.
Laura nodded her head. Her sister already did so much, this was the time she did her part too. "I understand, Sis. Leave this matter to me."
"Good girl, I know that I can trust you," Kanae patted Laura’s head tenderly.
Laura enjoyed the gesture before urging Kanae to sleep. Wounded people would need to sleep more if they wanted to heal quickly.
"Don’t treat me like a kid. I’ll sleep," Kanae laughed.
"You’re a kid, Sis. You’re always acting like a kid most of the day, asking me for food."
"Hey, you know I get hungry very fast!"
Laura smirked. "Are you sure it’s not because you want snacks."
"Uh..." Kanae’s face reddened slightly. She looked like a young girl that caught-red handed doing something wrong. "You should go to sleep too. Don’t give an excuse that you late because you didn’t have a good sleep."
"Don’t worry. I’m already used to not sleep..." Laura paused as she sensed that she said something wrong. Looking at the dangerous expression on Kanae’s face, she nearly cursed internally.
"Laura... Did you take care of yourself when you’re staying overseas?"
Seeing the angry Kanae, Laura tried all kinds of means to make Kanae’s anger ceased down. When the ruckus died down, Laura was able to get out of Kanae’s room safely. She strode back to her own room and took a bath before heading to her laptop.
’Time to work.’
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of fingers tapping the keyboard filled the room. Laura made a complete profile of a stranger, adding the man to the file as if he was real. After making sure that her imaginative man has some history of himself that could be checked by other people, she made contact with Frank’s secretary.
Of course, she addressed that man as Frank as it was already normal for Frank to leave his secretary dealt with the matter of business. Laura knew this, but other people don’t. They would think that they were chatting with Frank directly.
Laura expression her intention of purchasing the mansion that’s in the news. She used the fake identity she had made because she knew that Frank wouldn’t want to sell it to his niece even if the world fell apart. In the end, the two of them chatted in social media as Laura refused for call saying that she has terribly cough.
"Even though the mansion is in a horrible state because of the attack, it’s still in good condition overall. It has a long history, which I believe that it’ll interest you Mr....."
Laura rolled her eyes as she read the content of the message that Frank sent. Even during this time, this man didn’t forget to use his negotiation skill to the fullest, making use of his ability to hike up the price.
If he was trying to dupe someone with the storytelling of the mansion’s history, she was sure that he would succeed. Unfortunately, he met her.
"Mr. Frank, I’m sure that the mansion hadn’t stood for that long. It was built a few decades ago by the Nali branch family’s members. There’s even the record that..."
Laura listed out the pieces of evidences that she had collected. Her uncle wanted to be cunning? Fine. But she would be even more cunning. There was no way she would let the mansion out of her grasp again.
"Sir, while it hasn’t been built long, it has an interesting story...."
"Story will not be able to make the price of building hike up for more than 10 percent, Mr. Frank. Do you really have the intention to sell the building?"
"Oh yes, of course. It’s the opposite, your price..."
"Mr. Frank, I...."
"Sir..."
They went going here and there for a while since the two of them didn’t want to lose. Laura didn’t want to buy it back for an insane price while Frank wanted to reap the highest benefit that he could.
In the end, they concluded the price of the mansion and the signed rights. This time, Frank used the excuse of the fire to say that the building has no deeds anymore. He used a letter to confirm that and made the documents to change the ownership of the building.
When Laura finished the deal, she smiled smugly at the documents in front of her. All she needed to do was asking a lawyer about this matter and made sure that no one could take the mansion from them anymore.
Unbeknownst to her, Kanae was standing behind her. She had been staying here for quite some time, watching her little sister made the deal with Frank. Looking at Laura’s satisfied smile, she knew that it went well.
She moved a few steps to the back and made the motion as if she had just closed the door. The voice startled the excited Laura.
"Sis! What are you doing here?"
"Laura, it’s morning. Don’t you need to sleep?"
Kanae moved naturally as if she was not hurt at all. This was already her habit as she had to keep the matter about her wounds a secret from Laura. She didn’t want to make her sister worried about her condition, so she always put a front in front of them.
Laura smiled widely, not caring for the fact that she didn’t sleep a wink at all since last night. "I manage to purchase the mansion for a cheaper price. Now we have more money for the renovation."
"That’s good," Kanae nodded her head in satisfaction.
"I still need to talk to a lawyer, though. There are some parts that I don’t understand," Laura scratched her head embarrassedly. No matter what, she was still a 15 years old girl. It was already good enough for her to be able to settle the deal with Frank.
"Misae’s mother is a lawyer. You can visit her house to talk with Mrs. Clara," Kanae smiled.
Laura felt that something was off from the way Kanae smiled, but she still nodded her head. "That means no one will be here to take care of you, Sis."
"I can walk around just fine. The wound is not as deep as you think."
Seeing her sister still walked around nonchalantly, Laura nodded her head. She still felt rather suspicious, but she too wanted to finish this deal as fast as possible. If she took longer time, she worried that Frank’s secretary would change his decision so suddenly. When that happened, there was no way they could remedy the situation.
