Because Chairman Victor came up with authoritative medical reports and various certificates, the court finally found that the last will made by Mr. Victor was invalid.

Therefore, 90 per cent of the shares left by the elder Mr. Victor will be divided equally among his two sons in accordance with the order of succession prescribed by law.

Because of significant changes in the course of the case, David Perry offered to adjourn the hearing, which the judge granted.

"Mr. Charles, did you also have an estate lawsuit with Chairman Victor in the first place? Why else would he forge a will?" asked Jia Lei.

"No! It's just that if I didn't have this will, I would have shared the shares of the Victor Group with my brother. Later, my father made this will under the persuasion of my brother, and I could understand why my father wanted to give the shares to Anna's sister-in-law, so I approved the will and handed over the control of the Victor Group to my brother. Charles Victor said.

"Fool! Ikli Victor is so shrewd, he knows that if he comes up with another excuse to compete with you for the shares of the Victor Group, you will definitely fight with him to the end! That's why he brought me and Alan Shah out to make you give in, and it turned out that you fool really gave up control of the Victor Group because of our love back then. Huang Shuxian sneered.

"My grandfather, this old man, is too much of a thing! does he even want to take out the dead to use them in order to defraud the shares?" said the little Jew through gritted teeth.

If he was willing to share 90 percent of the shares of the Victor Group with Mr. Charles Victor, then he would have been able to get 45 percent of the shares of the Victor Group. But Chairman Victor is too greedy, he asked the old chairman to divide the shares into three under the banner of your grandmother, so he has to spit out an extra 15% of the shares now!" Jia Lei sneered.

"Jia Lei, what do you mean, do you want me to go and fight another inheritance lawsuit with my brother?" asked Charles Victo.

"Why not? We can't just be so cheap, that old immortal, can we? It's better for me to give you these shares than to give them to my grandfather for nothing!" said the little Jew.

"I have enough money to spend, I don't want these shares! When the lawsuit is won, I will return these shares to Sister Anna and you." Although I can only give you back 15% of the shares, it is better than nothing. At least you and Alan Shah don't have to live a hard life anymore!" said Charles Victor.

"Keep the money for yourself! Ikri Victor owes me what I owe, and I will get it back myself. Huang Shuxian said coldly.

"What do you mean, Grandma?" asked the little Jew, puzzled.

"Jia Lei, I agree with the plan B proposed by you and me, you go and inform the lawyer to prepare!" Huang Shuxian said.

"Why don't I know?" asked the little Jew in surprise.

"Because Grandma Huang didn't want to take her privacy to court in the first place, she rejected my proposal. That's why you don't know about this plan b!" Jia Lei said helplessly.

"And what the hell is this Plan B?" asked the little Jew.

"I'm too late to tell you more about time constraints, you'll understand when you're in court!" Jia Lei said, and then they would go to the courtroom again.

"Huh...... I now know how Keller's woman with no background was able to surpass me to become the Lady of Chairman Victor, because she has such a big handle on your father!" said Mrs. Helen with a sneer in the corner of the gallery.

"Mother, as things stand, Lady Anna has little chance of winning. We have offended my father by doing Madame Anna this time, what will we do after the three of us? Father will definitely kick us out of the Victor family this time!" said Naphtali Victor anxiously.

If the rest of the Victor family were to see the two of them who were said to be traveling around the world in this place, their jaws would drop.

"Don't worry, your father will just scold us and deduct some pocket money, and he won't really kick us out. Lady Helen affirmed.

"Father is not such a good talker, is he?, how can you be so sure that he won't kick us out?" asked Naphtali Victor suspiciously.

"Do you really think that your father made me the wife of Chairman Victor because of Esther's face? If I hadn't grabbed your father's handle in my hand, how could he marry me, a dusty woman, and enter the door? He wouldn't dare tear his face with me!" Helen said proudly.

"Mother, what do you have in your father's hands? tell me?" asked Naphtali Victor anxiously.

"This is our biggest bargaining chip, I can't tell you, otherwise you will definitely mess things up! Don't worry, I will definitely let you get the shares of the Victor Group and become the real young master of the Victor family." Helen patted her son's hand and said.

"According to the laws of country Y, the wills and deeds signed by people suffering from mental illness are invalid! Therefore, this court rejected the plaintiff's request for the defendant to return the shares. Is there anything else you can say about each of you?" the judge asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I now bring a new petition against the defendant on behalf of my new client, Mr. Charles Victor, in the hope that the defendant will divide equally the 90 per cent of the shares left by the elder Mr. Victor in accordance with the law of succession and my agent, Mr. Charles. David Perry said.

"Yes!" the court agreed!" the judge nodded.

"Charles, do you really want to fight me for a stake?" asked Ikli Victor, looking at his brother in disbelief.

"Brother, these shares should have belonged to Sister Anna and Alan Sha, I just want to help you return the shares to them. Charles Victor said.

"I don't believe it! How are you going to give these shares away when they are in your hands, don't pretend to be a good person here. Ikli Victor sneered.

"Brother, you found it all by yourself! These shares are destined not to belong to you, so why should you force them?" said Charles Victor.

"Huh...... In the past few years, I have secretly acquired another 3% of the group's shares, and even after the shares are divided, my share in the group accounts for 48%, plus the 3% shares of the Onassi family. My stake in the Victor Group is exactly 51%, and the chairman of the Victor Group will always be mine. Chairman Victor laughed.

"Not necessarily, Mr. Judge, I now formally submit to the Court a request for divorce from Mr. Ikli Victor. I hope that the court will transfer this case to the Family Court, and in order to prevent Ikli Victor from transferring the matrimonial property, I would like to file a pre-trial property preservation with the court and apply for the freezing of the matrimonial property belonging to us in the hands of Ikli Victor. Huang Shuxian suddenly said to the judge.

As soon as this sentence came out, the people in the entire court couldn't help but talk about it, and it was surprising that there had been more than one turn of God and reversal in this inheritance lawsuit.

"Anna, are you crazy? We have already married separately, and now you are embarrassed to say that we are not divorced yet, and want to divide the marital property with me?"

"I'm not crazy! Although we have been separated for more than 40 years, we have never been divorced in any country. In a legal sense, we are still husband and wife! And you have committed bigamy!" Huang Shuxian said with a sneer.

"This court upholds the plaintiff's request!" the judge said after a moment's thought.

"That's right! The fact seems to be true, Chairman Victor seems to have been married more than once in the past 40 years! Could it be that Chairman Victor is really going to prison for bigamy this time?" The reporters present commented one after another, and Helen's mother and son, who were already gray-faced, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In view of the fact that the divorce case is not within the scope of this court, I declare the end of this trial. The divorce case will be transferred to the Family Court of this court, which will be heard next week. The judge said.

This is the end of this wonderful and frequent inheritance battle, but the impact of this incident outside the court has only just begun, and reporters from major media outlets have followed up on this report.

Of course, everyone's attention is still on the change in the equity of Victor Group and the next divorce case, after all, the drama of brothers fighting for property is not as good as that of husband and wife tearing each other apart.

What's more, this is a divorce case heard in London, and the people scolded Chairman Victor for his shamelessness in making a fake will, while rejoicing that the kind-hearted Mrs. Anna could finally get back what belonged to her openly.

*****

"Bang! crackle!" There was a sound of things smashing from time to time in Victor's manor, and at this time, Chairman Victor was throwing things in anger.

Anna, that stinky woman who is obviously married again, is embarrassed to come to divorce me and fight for family property. How could she be so shameless?" said Chairman Victor, sitting in a chair in his study, which was littered with fragments of his broken cups and vases.

The housekeeper asked the servants to come in quickly to clean the debris and replace the carpet, and at the same time served the guests in the study a calm black tea.

"What are we going to do now, Ikri has lost 15% of the Victor Group in court today, and if Lady Anna really wants to fight this divorce lawsuit with you and wins, then she will take half of your property and shares. Then you won't be able to keep your chairman's position!" Lady Linda said worriedly, and the others nodded their heads along with it.

"I won't let this happen anyway! We must win this divorce lawsuit!" said Chairman Victor angrily.

"But father, this is London, which has one of the lowest divorce rates in the world, because divorce is so expensive here. Basically, all wealthy people who divorce in England will be divided by their wives more than half of their family property, and Mrs. Anna won this time. Isharjah said anxiously.

"Damn, what are we going to do?" said Victor anxiously.

"In fact, according to the law, divorce cases can be held in either country, so why don't we apply to Huaxia to handle the divorce case?" said lawyer Ben Rand.

"But is there any difference in this? As far as I know, divorce in Huaxia also has to give half of the property to the other party! Ikeley, I'm really worried about you, I don't want you to go to jail. Christine asked blankly, and Victor Director Zhang heard the little wife's concern and was moved to hold her in his arms.

According to my investigation, Anna has found another husband in Huaxia over the years. If she refuses to reconcile with me, I can also sue her for bigamy. Chairman Victor said.

"Even if it is okay to go to jail, what about property? Whatever country the judge will be more inclined to protect the weak, and Madame Anna will have more sympathy. Levi Victor said.

"But the Chinese are very cautious about the trial of foreign-related cases, and no matter what the outcome is, at least Chairman Victor will no longer have to pay high alimony!" said lawyer Ben Rand.

Before the next trial began, the two parties began to fight again for the location of the divorce case!

The lawyer of Chairman Victor applied to Huaxia to hear the divorce case on the grounds that the parties were originally married in Huaxia.

The lawyer of Ashurst International Law Firm, who helped Huang Shuxian in the divorce case, proposed that the marriage ceremony between the two parties was held at the church in the British Concession in Pearl City, so the divorce case should be heard in London.

After accepting the request of both parties, the judge finally agreed to Huang Shuxian's request to hear the divorce case in London.

"yes! As long as this case is tried in London, we will win half of it!" Jia Lei said happily, and the rest of the room was also happy.

After all, the divorce case is tried in London, which means that the little Jewish grandmother can get half of the property, after all, many rich people in the world are planted in the divorce case tried in London.

The British said that if they divorced twice in London, it would be like a flood, and they would become poor and their fortunes would shrink dramatically.

After all, most of the world's sky-high divorce cases are in London, which is a holy place for divorce!

11 January 1993

This much-anticipated divorce case has finally begun, and both the original defendant and the defendant have tried their best to argue in court, hoping that the judge will be on their side.

It is important to know that there are very few direct provisions on divorce in country Y, and the final judgment of divorce cases mainly depends on the attitude of the judge.

In order to exempt him from criminal punishment, the lawyer of the chairman of Victor took the lead as soon as the trial began.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, although the law of country Y is governed by the law of monogamy, which stipulates that a person who has a spouse shall not marry again. However, the English court also recognises bigamy concluded abroad, and the premise for foreign bigamy is that the other party belongs to a polygamous country. Chairman Victor and Mrs. Anna married at a time when China was in the Republic of China, where polygamy was legal. In other words, my client is not guilty of bigamy!" argues lawyer Ben Rand.

"This court upholds the arguments of the defendant's lawyer and finds that the defendant's bigamy does not commit the crime of bigamy in country Y!" the judge nodded.

The reason why there is this cheating law in the marriage law of country Y is still on Hong Kong Island!

Anyone who has watched Hong Kong dramas knows that there are many wives and aunts in Hong Kong Island TV dramas that involve infighting among wealthy families. This plot seems a bit exaggerated to mainlanders, but in fact it is true and legal.

In 1898, the Qing government signed a treaty of humiliation with country Y, leasing Hong Kong Island to the British government for 99 years. In the treaty, the law was made in accordance with the national conditions of both parties, and polygamy was legal in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, in the 99 years since Hong Kong Island was leased to Country Y, Hong Kong Island was still under the legal framework of the Qing Dynasty, and the legal system of polygamy was magically retained.

In other words, polygamy was still legal on Hong Kong Island before 1997!

It's only 93 years now, and the London courts still follow the law when dealing with similar cases.

According to our investigation, in 1959, Mrs. Anna remarried again in the mainland and married a Chinese man surnamed Wu. Mrs. Anna has committed bigamy in Country Y by doing so, and my client has the right to apply for the annulment of the marriage between the parties!" said lawyer Ben Rand.

"What's going on......", the defendant's lawyer's bite immediately made everyone in the court talk about it, if this marriage was really invalidated, Huang Shuxian would not get a penny.

"Do the plaintiffs and plaintiffs' lawyers have anything to say about the defendant's lawyer's allegations?" the judge asked.

"Since everyone is curious about this matter, let me tell it myself!" Huang Shuxian straightened his clothes and stood up.

"I did live with Mr. Wu! I would have liked to confess to this bigamy, because it was something I couldn't ask for. Unfortunately, due to the political situation and social atmosphere, Mr. Wu and I could only be regarded as cohabitation, and there was no wedding or marriage registration. At that time, Huaxia implemented a hard and simple style, and even the wedding ceremony of the newlyweds was just to take a wedding photo with the big wedding saffron. And Lao Wu and I, a widower and a widow, have even saved this step, and our so-called marriage is just a meal for a few friends. In addition, my identity certificate was forged, and I was too late to avoid the government's investigation, so how could I send it to my door? So we have not registered our marriage for so many years, and then we forgot about it after a long time. Huang Shuxian said with a wry smile.

According to the English marriage law, a marriage must be established by a marriage ceremony or a marriage registration, otherwise the marriage is null and void. The plaintiff's actions can only be regarded as cheating and cohabitation with another person in the eyes of the law, but it does not violate the crime of bigamy and the nullity clause!" said a lawyer at Ashurst Law Firm.

Therefore, this court rejected the defendant's lawyer's request for annulment of marriage. The judge said.

In fact, in the British judicial decision, infidelity will not affect the final distribution of property too much, especially in the case of both parties cheating at the same time, the judge will give priority to the party at fault.

The most famous example of this similar marriage judgment is the divorce case between Princess Diana and Prince Charles, who received a large amount of property and alimony even though she publicly admitted to marital infidelity.

Coincidentally, in 1945, Chairman Victor couldn't wait to marry Lady Onassi as his wife, and a particularly grand wedding was held.

And Huang Shuxian cheated on him and cohabited with someone four years after he remarried, and Chairman Victor also cheated on Mrs. Helen in his second marriage and gave birth to Naphtali Victor, no matter which point of view, it belongs to the priority fault party.

So in this divorce case, the judge announced that the husband and wife would divide the marital property equally, and the chairman of Victor would also have to pay alimony.

In other words, Ms. Huang Shuxian can not only get a high amount of alimony and 24% of the shares of Victor Group, but also half of all other assets of Chairman Victor, including Chairman Victor's collection over the years and shares and cash in several other companies.

Poor Chairman Victor, this time he really lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot!

The value of these things is far more than 30% of the shares of the Victor Group, not to mention that Mr. Charles also divided 90% of the shares left by the old chairman with him, so his shares have been reduced twice.

In other words, now only 24% of the shares of Victor Group are left in the hands of Chairman Victor!

What a wicked man has evil retribution!
