668 Their Christmas Mirical - Part 1
Monday
Anna was awoken from a deep sleep when Hou Yi\'s mobile rang. She sat there and heard Hou Yi say "Alister we will be there in a couple of hours. I will let James and Alecia know, but you need to call CEO Yao and the others you represent."
When Hou Yi hung up on the call, he quietly said to Anna "Can you let James and Alecia know that we have been requested to be present at the court in a couple of hours."
"Could we be looking at a Christmas Miracle?"
"I am hoping, but Alister indicated that the National Prosecutors are giving nothing away."
"Fine I will call James and Alecia." After pausing Anna turned and said "Did you not have a meeting this morning? Someone coming from Country Y?"
"I am going to have to reschedule that meeting. Chester Yao representing Jax Corp, and before you ask, he is not related to Tan, travelled here for the meeting today.? I hate to do this to him as his partner, who previously survived cancer has had it return and I did not like asking him to travel here in the first place.? Now, make that call and hurry into the shower.? I will call him and explain the situation."
Anna nodded, and picked up her phone and called James who responded when he eventually answered, "Darling sister, you better have a good reason for the call, or you are dead."
"Shut up you idiot. We just received a call from Alister Nang asking all of us to be at the courthouse in a couple of hours. Good enough reason?"
"If that b*stard is pleading guilty it is. Call us when you are ready to leave."
"Will do," and with that Anna hung up.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，
As she ended the call, Anna heard Yi on his call "Chester, I am not trying to get out of this meeting. You know we want to resolve the deal with Jax Corp, but I have no choice. We have been requested to be at court in a couple of hours …"
After a pause, Hou Yi continued as Anna was heading into the walk-in robe "It is that matter. We have no choice. As I have no idea how long this is going to take, we need to reschedule this in the new year, but I will come to you.? I remember you telling me your sister has just returned from years overseas and with Phillip\'s cancer diagnosis let me make one of our company jets available to take you home, so you are there for Christmas."
Hou Yi looked up and observed Anna walking into the en-suite, and after hearing Chester Yao, he continued "OK, let us put everything on hold. I will come to you in the new year, say the third?"
Another pause, and he said "OK, got that. I will let my assistant know and see you then. Tell your brother Andrew and do not deny it your boyfriend Phillip I will take you out for meal once we finish the deal."
After Chester ended the call, Hou Yi put his phone down and headed to the walk-in robe. He was hopeful that what they were all hoping was the case. Twenty minutes later Anna came out of the en-suite and Hou Yi as he was heading in told Anna to arrange for a quick breakfast for them so they could get going to the courthouse provided Alecia and James were ready.
Anna alerted Butler Ge as to their breakfast needs and as she heard Hou Yi switch off the shower, Anna called James and alerted them that they would be about twenty minutes to head with Anna confirming that she would call him as they were getting in the elevator.
Twenty-five minutes later, Anna and Hou Yi met James and Alecia waiting for them. They climbed into the two waiting cars and headed to the courthouse arriving forty-five minutes later. Given the late call, there was little media waiting outside the courthouse and they were quickly escorted into the courthouse where Alister took them into the room where Yan Tan and Amanda were waiting for them.
As soon as the door was shut, Yao Tan turned and said, "Why in the world have we been brought here Alister?"
"CEO and Madam Yao, CEO and Madam Hou, Miss Alecia and Mr Jones, I received a call from the National Prosecutors and a deal has been done. Before you arrived, they briefed me on the penalty My Lu has agreed to, but the condition on this was as many victims as possible were at court to sign off on the deal. Between all the lawyers were arranged eighty percent of all victims and those who were not available are in the process of being spoken to by telephone."
James, immediately asked "So, do not keep us in suspense, what is the penalty?"
