"Everything's going to be fine." He said, putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Uno won't let anything bad happen to you."
She nodded smiling. "I know. But I don't want him to get in trouble be

The noise of pages turning was the only sound heard in that room until there was a sigh. It was a sigh of tiredness that had left his lips, unable to take in the situation."So there is no other way to get the property?" Iverson asked, looking at the lawyer with a cold expression. The lawyer smiled nervously glancing at the person sitting beside the cold man."No," He replied meekly not wanting to upset him because he was very well capable of destroying him."Read that clause again." He ordered leaning back on his chair and staring at him intensely. The lawyer fumbled through the pages before getting to that clause and reading it out loudly."Transfer my entire property to my youngest son, Iverson Cardinal which includes 4 mansions, 3 farmhouses, 50% share from my company, and the neighbouring land, but only after it is made sure that he has a son or daughter of his own.
