Chapter 810 - Are We Friends? (1/2)

An hour later, the doorbell rang again.

”I'll get it,” L said quickly. She excused herself to the two guests and welcomed the new visitor. When she opened the door, a brown-haired, tall young man stood in front of her.

”It's nice to see you again, Marianne,” said Danny Swann, smiling broadly.

L nodded. She invited Danny in and find a seat for himself.

”Hi, Danny. Meet John and Farah. They both are lawyers from Burnham Law Firm who are helping me in our case now.” L introduced her team. Her statement made Danny frown.

”Why do you need lawyers present? Did I make a mistake?” Suddenly, Danny was worried. At first, he thought that L would meet him just to discuss their engagement, but unexpectedly it turned out that L had another purpose.

”Sit down first. We need to talk.” L took a bottle of wine and 4 glasses and poured them with wine. ”Please drink. You will need a drink to discuss my purpose for coming here.”

L's words were spoken in a flat tone. Her cold demeanor suddenly made Danny worried. He had never seen L act this cold.

”What do you want?” Danny asked, taking a glass of wine from L's hand. The girl turned to one of her lawyers and nodded.

Farah Burnham nodded then cleared her throat. She took out a doc.u.ment and showed it to Danny Swann. The man opened it and read with a frown.

Instantly his expression changed.

”Marianne ... you ...?” He looked at L with shock.

”I know the truth, so I come here to take care of my inheritance,” L said in a cold voice.

Danny hurriedly stood up and approached L. ”You're mistaken. I just want to look after you, as my grandfather's last request ... I really want to marry you.”

The girl brushed off Danny's hand that was about to touch her shoulder. ”Don't touch me! You could fool me with your sweet words and help a few months ago. But since you threatened me by disclosing my secret to the public and destroying my career ... I already know who you really are.”

Danny knew it was futile to try to lie to L further. He already threatened L many times to marry him. He narrowed his eyes holding back his anger. For a moment, Danny didn't know what to do. This surprise came too suddenly, and he was not ready to face it.

”Mr. Swann, we have made all records of the Swann estate's assets. Miss De Maestri is studying them, and we will decide what assets we will demand from the list. If you understand this, we would like to meet with your lawyer to discuss the fair splitting of the property.” Farah got up and handed her business card to Danny. The man accepted it with a sour face.

Danny threw the glass of wine in his hand and looked at L with a murderous look. ”You won't be able to take my family's wealth easily. Just wait...”

With a snort, he turned out and slammed the door behind him loudly.

Everyone in the suite looked at each other.

”Hmmm ... he didn't take it well,” Pammy commented. L nodded and finished her wine with trembling hands. Even though she acted calmly and nonchalantly, she was shaking inside. Danny Swann's gaze was terrifying.

Will Danny try to keep all his inheritance and do whatever it took? At this rate ... he might use evil ways to get rid of L so that there would be no more obstacles for him to take all his grandfather's inheritance.

This thought made L very scared.

”Thank you both for coming here. I will study the Swann family assets and discuss it with my lawyer in Germany. Later, we will talk again,” L finally said.

The two lawyers nodded. They cleared up their doc.u.ments and bid their leave. After there were only the three of them left in the Suite, L plopped herself on the sofa with a trembling body.

”Hey, what's wrong with you? What happened?” Pammy asked in surprise. She sat next to L and rubbed her shoulder to calm the girl.

”His eyes... he looked like he wanted to kill me, Pammy. I'm scared...” whispered L. ”You know people will do anything for money...”

Instantly, L eyes went round.
