Chapter 45 Inheritance Cases

 Marriott Hotels.

The two rushed to the hotel. Daisy wanted to get a two-bedroom suite, but Luke didn't think it was necessary.

In his words, the distance between the two bedrooms made it difficult to protect Daisy in case of danger.

Daisy thought it made sense and opened a one-bedroom and one-living room suite. The living room was close to the bedroom, so Luke would be able to notice it immediately if someone broke in.

Luke "..."

Isn't it good to have a double room?

Isn’t the double room nice?

Luke is not lying, Daisy is a lawyer, not a stupid girl with big breasts and no brains.

Luke sat on the sofa. This was the only place he could sleep tonight. The quality of the sofa was good, so there was no need to worry about insomnia.

Daisy took off her coat and her chest curves became fuller, "Luke, thank you for being by my side. Without you... I don't know what would have happened."

I may have been monitored and I don’t know yet, and I feel scared when I think about this situation...I don’t know who would do such a thing, it’s so scary.”

"Relax, I will protect you. My colleagues are already investigating, and I believe there will be clues soon." Luke gave her a hug, which was soft and comfortable.

"Can you have a drink with me?" Daisy broke away from Luke's clutches, took out a bottle of red wine and two goblets from the wine cabinet, and poured a glass for Luke and herself.

"Here's to you." Daisy raised her glass.

"Cheers." Luke clinked glasses with each other, and as soon as he took a sip, Daisy drank it all.

"Uh oh... drink slowly, it's still going to last tonight. I have to keep vigil, so I can't drink too much."

Daisy poured another glass of wine, "I just want to forget what happened tonight as soon as possible. Someone sneaked into the house secretly to install surveillance cameras. I feel like this is more terrifying than robbery on the street."

Luke took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have any suspicion?"

Daisy said, "After talking to you last time, I have thought about a lot of possibilities. My life is basically two o'clock and one line, the law firm, going home, and occasionally going to the bar for a drink.

I have no personal grudges, just like your previous speculation is probably related to my work."

"Can you tell me about the case you are working on?"

"Well, in principle it's not possible. But...I'm only telling you one person, can you help me analyze it?"

Luke smiled, "Of course."

"I have three cases in my hands right now, two divorce cases and one will case. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Luke asked, "Which case do you prefer to be related to today's events?"

"The Will Case."

"OK, let's talk about this case first."

Daisy said, "A year ago, I accepted a will entrustment. The client distributed the inheritance according to his own wishes. There are two forms of wills. One is a written will, which is kept by me.

There is also an electronic will, in which the client recorded a video in which he personally distributed the inheritance, which can also be regarded as a farewell to relatives and friends.

Some time ago, the client was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment and is still in a coma.

His family found the video will in the safe and played the contents of the will.

I suspect someone might be trying to steal a written will from me."

Luke puzzled, "Since they have watched the video and know the contents of the will, why would they steal the written will from you?"

“California does not recognize oral wills and video wills. The will must be established in writing, must clearly indicate how the estate will be distributed, be dated, and must be signed by the person who made the will.

If the will is written by the person who made the will, it is called an 'autograph' and does not even require witnesses.

What I have in my hand is an autographed will."

Luke asked, "What happens if the will in your hand is stolen or destroyed?"

"The video will is ineffective. Once the client dies, the estate will be inherited according to California law."

“How much is the estate worth?”

"At least several million dollars."

"Wow, it's really exciting. It seems that the will in your hand affects the interests of many people."

"Yeah, it was only after your reminder that I thought it might be related to this will case."

Luke analyzed the situation, "If someone really wanted to steal this will, he sneaked into your office to steal it on March 2, but was not found. On March 3, Tim attacked you with a Taser gun and prepared to steal your belongings.

, but without success.

Someone broke into your home again today and installed a surveillance camera in the study to peek at the password of the safe.

Logically it makes sense."

"I didn't expect that an ordinary will entrustment would cause such a big trouble. Without you, I don't know what I would have done."

"I will always be with you." Luke held Daisy's white left hand in his right hand.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, the two of them sat closer and closer. Luke looked at the beauty beside him and couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

Daisy has a very attractive figure, a light fragrance, a pretty face, and sexy red lips.

Luke touched Daisy's cheek with his left hand, tilted his head and kissed her red lips.

Daisy was stunned at first, her body a little stiff, and then gradually relaxed under Luke's passionate kiss...

After a while of passionate kissing, the atmosphere became ambiguous.

"Buzz..."

The cell phone vibrated, interrupting Luke from further action.

Daisy came back to her senses and leaned back, her cheeks red, "Sorry... I have to answer the phone."

Daisy got up and went to answer the phone. Luke picked up the red wine glass and took a sip. Damn your phone, you must turn it off next time.

After a while, Daisy answered the phone and said, "It's the client's call."

"The client of the will."

"I hope to receive a call from the client of the will, but he is still in a coma and is the client in the divorce case."

Luke walked up to Daisy and put his arm around her waist, "It's very late now, don't think about work."

Luke leaned over for a kiss, and Daisy pressed Luke's lips with her fingers, "You're right, it's getting late. I have to go and rest. There are still many things to deal with tomorrow."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, not today. The camera thing scared me. Give me some time, okay?"

Luke was a little disappointed, "Where does the client in the divorce case live?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I want to beat him."

Daisy chuckled and kissed Luke's cheek, "Good night."

Luke smiled and said, "If you are scared alone, you can call me anytime."

"Wish you a sweet dream." Daisy turned and entered the bedroom.

Luke picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and drank it in one gulp. Although the relationship between the two was not complete, the relationship between the two had progressed.

Luke lay back casually. The leather sofa was very elastic and felt pretty good.

Luke was not dissatisfied with sleeping on the sofa. If he had not come to the hotel, he would have probably stayed up all night to investigate the case. Compared with his colleagues, he was already very lucky.

"Ah..." Luke sneezed, who was thinking of me?

Mom? Or the little fat guy?

Luke then remembered that he hadn't reported it to his mother yet.

Luke took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his mother, "Mom, I won't be going home tonight."

"Have you found a new place to live?"

"No, I love you, and I won't move."

"Then get back quickly."

"I have a mission today."

"You don't look like you're going on a mission this afternoon. Do you think I'm easy to trick?"

"I swear to God, the team has an urgent mission."

"Shut up! You don't believe in God at all. Are you with a woman?"

"No."

"That lawyer girlfriend?"

"I already told you it wasn't."

"We will, we will, rock you..." A burst of music sounded, and there was a voice video call from my mother.

Luke closes.

Mom sent another message, "I knew it."
