In fact, the Elder's illness was also one of Somi's schemes.
The Elder had the habit of lighting an incense before he slept. Thus, she hypnotised Deng Cui, the maid who was in charge of cleaning the Elder's room, into tampering with the incense. The fragrance of the tampered incense was meant to cause the Elder to suffer a heart attack.
Somi suddenly realised that she hadn't seen Deng Cui around in the mansion today. Could it be that she had already been found?
But that didn't matter. Even if Deng Cui confessed to her crimes, she would not be able to state Somi's involvement in this matter.
At this moment, the Lee Group's Director, Lee Jingyuan, approached them with a walking stick in his hands. He spoke up with a voice that had gone slightly hoarse with his age. "Jennie, ah. Grandfather Lee is a little late."
Jennie rushed to support him. "Grandfather Lee, it's alright. As long as you're here."
A reporter noticed Jennie taking the initiative to support Lee Jingyuan. He rushed to take photos of the scene.
"I should have come earlier." Lee Jingyuan sighed. "I wasn't feeling too well so I took some time to rest before leaving. My body is old and unreliable now!"
"Grandfather Lee, you will definitely live till a hundred." She wasn't sure why, but she found that she had a soft spot for the elderly before her.
Somi rushed to stand up from the guest sitting area. She pushed Jennie away from Lee Jingyuan's side and replaced her to support Elder Lee. "Grandfather, you're here. Why didn't you tell me that you were feeling unwell?"
Lee Jingyuan noticed Somi's movements. However, he assumed that she was feeling jealous and did not say anything about it. "I'm much better after resting for a while."
Jennie was unaffected by this. She turned to leave.
At this moment, Lee Jingyuan brought out an envelope and handed it to Jennie. "Jennie, ah. This is the wedding gift Grandfather Lee has prepared for you."
Jennie received it with some confusion. The envelope seemed to contain a document?
Eomi had a sense of foreboding. Still, she maintained a smile to ask. "Grandfather, what did you prepare for Jenn... for Cousin-in-law? It seems so mysterious wrapped in an envelope."
"That's right. I've never seen a wedding gift wrapped in a document envelope." The other guests were also curious.
"It's ten percent of the Lee Group's shares," Lee Jingyuan responded.
Following his words, all the guests were in an uproar.
The reporters also rushed to capture this scene.
Somi turned as pale as a sheet of paper. She questioned him with some anger. "Grandfather, I am your granddaughter. How could you give the shares away to an outsider!"
Jennie was also taken aback. At the moment, the Lee Group had a net worth of ten billion dollars. Ten percent of their shares was equivalent to a billion dollars. Why was Director Lee giving her such a heavy gift!
Even Lisa, Hong and Ye Yunzhi were extremely surprised.
A reporter asked him. "Miss Somi is right. Ten percent of the Lee Group's shares is worth up to a billion dollars. Director Lee, do you have any reasons for doing so?"
Lee Jingyuan responded. "Everyone, I'm sure you must know that I do not have any male heirs. Before finding Somi, the Lee family only had an old man like me left. As the Lee Group did not have any heirs, I even once considered donating the Lee family's inheritance to a charity organisation after I died. Although I've now found my granddaughter, Somi, money is no longer an important matter to me. I feel very close to Jennie. When I'm with her, I always feel like I'm with my family. I already have one foot in the grave. Since I felt the urge to give her the shares, I decided to go ahead and simply do it."
