Monday, continued..."Fine, I will send one back now," replied an almost frustrated Hou Yi, who opened the door and had a quiet word with one of the bodyguards. Realising Anna had simply been forgetful given what happened yesterday in continuing he softened his tone. "Done. Now let us get to dealing with what we need to."
With that Anna handed Hou Yi a paper version of his Affidavit to review, and said "If you want to make changes, simply use a pen and hand-make them. I am going make my changes directly into the electronic version of my affidavit."
With that Anna and Hou Yi settled in to review the affidavits. As Anna was so use to doing this, despite her affidavit being over 5 times longer than Hou YI"s and having to read supporting cases to confirm her understanding of the law, Anna finished reviewing her affidavit less than 5 minutes after Hou Yi, who had simply watched his wife at work. He was captivated, about how at times she could be so vulnerable but then like now was demonstrating how capable she was.
Without saying anything Anna picked up Hou Yi"s affidavit, and opened up the electronic version of his affidavit to make the changes. While making the changes a couple of times she turned to Hou Yi and questioned him about the amendments, and discussed them with him to finalise it. Once Hou Yi""s affidavit was done, Anna emailed Alfred, "Alfred, changes made in affidavit. Just reviewing the application and financial statement. Will let you know when they are done. Anna."
With that Anna, turned to the other doc.u.ments and started to work through them, filling in the blanks. Again Hou Yi could not believe how quickly his wife was going through the material.
As Anna reached the end of the financial statement she knew that she had to enter information about the financial resources she had access to since her split with Lu Jinhu. Anna, paused "Yi, I hate to do this, but one of the doc.u.ments requires information about financial resources I have access. All I want to put is "My now husband, owns and manages the family company in based in Country X but with national and international aspects, ad the value of financial resource is difficult to calculate, but likely in the billions of Australian dollars"."
"That is OK. You better mention Lu Corporation, and Yang Lin"s family"s company resources that Lu Jinhu has access to."
"Thank you." And with that Anna completed the balance of the doc.u.ments. Anna sent another brief email to Alfred "Alfred, doc.u.ments all done. Anna"
Just as she sent the email, Mr Williams walked back into the room. "Mr Hou, Anna. I have had a discussion with the partners, and they actually are OK with the deal. Rather than getting a secretary to draft the deal, Anna, do you have time, as it will allow us to test your commercial law skill set to see what we will have to get you up to date on."
"Absolutely. What I will do, before doing the final version is email you in dot points the recitals and the terms to review firstly and then turn it into the agreement, Is that OK?"
"Fine. Just email it to me when you are done. Once it is done and signed, if you want we will then call a firm wide meeting and announce what is happening. I would prefer to have everything sorted, so that no one causes an issue."
"OK." And with that Stan Williams left the room again.
"Yi, can you come and sit next to me, looking at the agreement points, so you are happy before I send them through." With that Hou Yi moved beside Anna and bent in watching her type the information and reading the screen. Every so often he would lean over and say something quietly that needed to change. Just as she was getting ready to send the email through, Hou Yi heard a noise outside the door as if it was about to be opened, so he leaned over and turned Anna"s head gently towards him, and leaned over as if he was about to kiss his bride.
Alfred, walked in and saw what he interpreted as a intimate moment, and made a coughing sound to drag attention back to him.
"Anna, just spoke to the Senior Counsel, and they are happy with the few amendments made. Senior Counsel wanted more information about the companies mentioned in the Financial Statement, but I think we can try and get away without it. Are you ready to sign all of this?"
"I need to send this email, and we are ready." With than Anna clicked send, and the three of them worked through the doc.u.ments executing them as needed.
After the doc.u.ments were signed, Alfred spoke "Anna, I am going to personally take the doc.u.ments to the court for filing with the request for the urgent hearing, due to our concerns about Lul Jihnu removing a.s.sets from Australia permanently, loosing you any security for payments we seek. However, I just want to clarify one matter. Why are you happy to let him keep the physical a.s.sets, but keep your superannuation and receive a payment from him to reach the percentage we are claiming?"
"Alfred, given the extent he has gone to to get them, he can keep them. All I want is what is fair, and he can pay out my interest in them, and then receive them. I do not need the apartment as Yi and I are buying property here and I do not want reminders, so receiving cash is easier. Additionally, I understand that back in Country X, I can register the orders requiring him to pay the amount and if he fails, I can seek to force payment there and if he then fails, he can face jail. Given what he has done to me, I hope he refuses to pay, as then he will be sent to jail."
"I will let you know an outcome regarding an urgent hearing as soon as possible."
"Thanks"
As Anna, looked at her laptop, she realised she had received a message from Stan Williams "Anna, the points are agreed. Type it up for you and your husband to sign, and then we will sign. Use a HOUENT file to save it in."
