Cross Academy had always been a legendary place that regular people like the lawyer could only dream of entering.

    And Iris Long, a mere pop star, was actually a Cross Academy student?!!

    How did that happen?! Was it possible?!

    Regular geniuses couldn’t even enter its gates. Only a special breed of geniuses were accepted.

    Did this mean that Iris Long was a special genius?@@@@

    In what way?

    The lawyer was confused. He didn’t understand. But he didn’t dare to doubt Cross Academy’s integrity. He didn’t think that such a prestigious and world-renowned institution such as Cross Academy would make a mistake and admit a mere pop star like Iris Long if she didn’t have the qualifications.

    This only meant that she was indeed a rare, special genius.

    Then why did she have such an unpleasant past? She had been known back then as a dumb heiress during her teenage years. The troubles she stirred were more (in)famous than her actual works in showbiz.

    The lawyer had thought that the old Jin matriarch had become senile when he helped her draft the final will and testament.

    Looking at everyone’s expression around the table, however, they didn’t look surprised at all.

    "Attorney?" Jin Liwei asked. "Is something the matter?"

    "Oh, no," the lawyer said in a hurry. "Nothing. I just feel a little thirsty, that’s all."

    As long as they didn’t divorce (which neither of them would allow to happen unless he did something unforgivable to her), she wouldn’t take everything from him, as per their pre-nuptial agreement.

    The lawyer read the closing statement. There were more legal terms that only Iris, Jin Liwei, and Grandpa Lu paid attention to. The lawyer also handed out copies for each person.

    "If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me," the lawyer told them. "My office will start the inheritance process as soon as possible. There are no inheritance taxes for the domestic properties, but for the ones abroad, please let me know in advance how you want to handle them first before we proceed in the transfer process."

    Everyone nodded after receiving their copies of Grandma Li’s final will and testament.

    Iris held hers and it felt like it weighed a ton.

    She and Jin Liwei walked the lawyer to the library’s entrance where the butler was already waiting. Then the butler took over leading the lawyer to the front door.

    Iris and Jin Liwei returned to where the others remained sitting.

    "Sister Xiulan, I wasn’t trying to undermine you earlier," Jin Chonglin said before anyone could speak. "I only wanted to know why Grandma Li would leave all her company shares to you and not to my big brother. After hearing her reason, I thought it made sense."

    Iris nodded. She didn’t really feel offended by his earlier protests, just irritated. Now that he apologized, everything was fine.

    "Don’t worry about it anymore," she said.

    Jin Chonglin released a big sigh of relief before smiling. Then he glanced at his big brother. Fortunately, Jin Liwei didn’t react too much. Jin Chonglin knew that if he offended his sister-in-law, it meant offending his brother as well.

    "Grandpa Lu, did Grandma Li really consult you before making her decision?" Iris couldn’t help but ask the old man.

    "She sure did," Grandpa Lu admitted. "You don’t think that this old man influenced her, do you? Tell me, I want to know! Zhiruo is the one who thought about it first. She wasn’t only worried about leaving us, her family, behind. She also worried about Jin Corporation. Just like what she said in the letter, Jin Corporation is the lifeblood of my late brother and I."
