After the divorce, I started to transfer

Chen Feng took Brina back to the hotel. The two took a relaxing bath together, then watched TV and chatted. Before they knew it, it was 5 p.m. In Xiuzhou, this would already be dusk, but in Los Angeles, the sun was still high in the sky.

Just then, Chen Feng received another call from Moore's private lawyer, Ralph. Ralph said he had flown to Los Angeles and was on his way to Chen Feng's hotel. He asked if Chen Feng was free, saying he would be there in about ten minutes.

Chen Feng readily agreed and gave the other party his room number. After hanging up, Chen Feng immediately called Brina's father, Frank, and asked him to come to the hotel right away.

Frank was already waiting; as soon as he received Chen Feng's call, he immediately rushed over with his assistant. The two legal teams arrived at Chen Feng's location almost simultaneously.

Brina acted as the temporary hostess, pouring coffee for the four people from both sides. Each lawyer brought an assistant.

Lavrov is a Jewish man in his forties who wears glasses. He appears gentle and refined, possessing the highly capable demeanor of an international elite.

Clearly, Laugher was in a tight schedule. He had made a special trip from New York to Los Angeles specifically for the transfer of the house, which undoubtedly wasted a lot of his time.

Therefore, he showed no intention of resting and, after exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Feng, went straight to the point. Lavrov took a house transfer agreement from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Feng, who then gave it to Frank.

Frank took the agreement and sat down with his assistant, then began to carefully review and deliberate on it.

Only then did Raoul have a moment to pick up the coffee Brina had poured, take a sip, then frown slightly before putting the cup down. This was, after all, a hotel room, and while the coffee wasn't instant, it wasn't anything particularly high-end either. Chen Feng hadn't drunk it before, and Raoul clearly didn't like this kind of coffee either.

However, he certainly couldn't show it directly. He deftly took out a business card from his briefcase, handed it to Chen Feng, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, this is my business card. I have my own law firm. You can come to me if you encounter any legal problems."

This was somewhat like poaching someone's talent. Frank, who was reviewing the gift agreement, couldn't help but give him a deep look, feeling a little displeased. But he didn't say anything, because he believed Chen Feng wouldn't change lawyers.

In other words, as long as his daughter, Brina, maintains this close relationship with Chen Feng, Chen Feng cannot change lawyers in the United States. This was true before, and it certainly is true now. Clearly, this colleague is unaware of the special relationship between himself and his employer, Chen Feng, and is completely wasting his time.

Out of politeness, Chen Feng naturally reached out and took the business card from Lavrov. After glancing at it, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything in the future."

Ralph must have some exceptional qualities to become Moore's personal lawyer. So, if we ever encounter a problem that Frank can't solve, we could give him a try.

But just as Frank thought, Chen Feng couldn't simply abandon Frank. As long as he maintained this close relationship with Brina, Frank would remain his exclusive lawyer in the United States.

Lavrov was quite satisfied with Chen Feng's response and then said confidently, "I know you've established a charitable foundation in the United States. If you encounter any legal issues that you can't resolve in the future, feel free to consult me. I'm capable of handling everything for you."

Chen Feng shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, my foundation has already hired Mr. Frank as my legal counsel. Moreover, my foundation is a private foundation and has successfully passed the review of the Department of Justice and the IRS, so there should be basically no legal issues now."

Laffer wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "In America, everything people do—food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—is related to the law. It's impossible for such a large-scale charitable foundation to always have smooth sailing. The IRS and the Department of Justice are just one aspect; there are others. If you encounter problems that your lawyer can't solve in the future, you can come to me, and I'll help you resolve them. I'm sure you won't regret it."

That was a bit of a slap in the face. Even with his good temper, Frank had to speak up: "Hey, buddy, I know you're definitely capable. But this Mr. Chen is my client. Don't you think it's a bit much to poach my client right in front of me?"

Lavrov shook his head slightly and said, "I've heard a little about you. You've been in this industry for over a decade before becoming a partner in the firm. And you used to specialize in criminal cases, which isn't quite right for Mr. Chen's current needs regarding finance, taxation, and legal matters. If you're truly professional, you should advise Mr. Chen to find a finance or tax lawyer who is a better fit. And I happen to be the most professional finance and tax lawyer."

Frank was speechless for a moment, as he was indeed not very familiar with finance and taxation.

Chen Feng spoke up at the right moment to help his father-in-law out of the predicament: "I'm sorry, Attorney Raffar, I already have lawyers specializing in my finances and taxes. Of course, they may not be as professional as you, but at least so far, I've had a very pleasant working relationship with them."

Laffer was slightly surprised by Chen Feng's defense of Frank, but quickly nodded and said, "Alright then, it seems I'm a bit late. But as I just said, I can say that I am one of the top professional lawyers in the United States when it comes to finance and taxation. My biggest client is Mr. Moore, and he trusts me a lot. So, he specially sent me here to help him handle this small matter. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Mr. Moore."

"I understand. I'll contact you if needed." Chen Feng's words were indifferent, and his attitude wasn't very enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Laugh was somewhat disappointed. The reason he made this special trip was not only because it was Moore's instruction, but also because he actually had the idea of ​​having Chen Feng hire him as his legal advisor.

After all, could someone who could make Mr. Moore willingly give away a villa worth hundreds of millions of dollars for free be an ordinary person? Although he didn't know Chen Feng's specific identity or special background, he understood that someone like Chen Feng must be very rich.

He was particularly impressed by that charitable foundation. According to his understanding, the foundation's accounts held a staggering $5 million. Becoming its legal counsel would greatly enhance his reputation and influence.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng didn't seem to appreciate him much at their first meeting. Most importantly, Chen Feng trusted this half-baked lawyer, Frank, and he didn't have a good solution for the time being.

To hide his embarrassment, he could only pick up his coffee again and take another sip. It was a little sweet and a little bitter, and then he suddenly realized that the coffee wasn't so bad after all.

The agreement for gifting real estate is relatively simple and not complicated. However, as a top-tier professional lawyer, Lavrov's draft was extremely meticulous, consisting of a full five pages.

Frank and his assistant carefully reviewed the agreement, which took about half an hour. After confirming that there were no problems, Frank nodded to Chen Feng and said, "There are no problems. This agreement can be signed."

Chen Feng took the agreement and was about to sign it when Brina stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, let me take a look first."

Brina was a high-achieving student at the University of California, and coming from a family with a strong legal background, she was naturally quite familiar with law. Hearing her insistence, Chen Feng paused the signing and handed the agreement to Brina. Laffer could only shrug helplessly, while Frank glared at his daughter with annoyance. Clearly, his daughter's intervention had slightly hurt his pride, making him feel that she didn't trust him enough.

Brina skimmed through the agreement and then pointed out several points she wasn't entirely sure about, asking Raoul directly. Raoul, being quite patient, provided reasonable explanations for each one.

Another ten minutes or so passed before Brina nodded to Chen Feng and said, "This agreement should be fine. Why don't you take a look?"

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you and your dad both think there's no problem, then there's definitely no problem."

After saying that, he took the agreement and quickly signed it. There were two copies, both already bearing Moore's signature.

Ralph put away Moore's copy, stood up, and said goodbye to Chen Feng: "It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Chen. I have to get back to New York right away; there are still many things I need to take care of there. Remember what I just told you: if you have any legal issues, you can come to me. I'll take care of everything for you."

After saying that, he extended his hand to shake Chen Feng's, then released it, turned around, and strode away. Clean and efficient—this must be the style of a top-tier professional lawyer.

"Mr. Chen, do you need me to go with you to take possession of that villa?" Frank stood up and asked.

Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "No need. You must be very busy, so go and do your own thing. Brina, my two bodyguards, and I will go."

"Alright, I'll be going now." Frank nodded to Chen Feng, then promptly left with his assistant. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word to his daughter, nor did he glance at her again, acting completely like a stranger.

Chen Feng sensed something was wrong, and as soon as the others left, he asked Brina directly, "What's wrong between you and your father? It seems like you're having a fight."

After a slight hesitation, Brina said, "When you came back to China last year, we were separated for a long time, right? He talked to me then, wanting me to break up with you."

Chen Feng said with some surprise, "Is that so?"

Brina nodded: "This was before you asked him to set up that charitable foundation. After you asked him to help set up the foundation, he turned around and tried to persuade me to get along well with you. He even said that he saw that I was happy with you, so he wanted me to be happy and stopped objecting to us being together. I feel that he is very hypocritical. He only persuades me to get along well with you because he sees that you are very rich. Isn't that ironic?"

Chen Feng thought to himself that this was indeed somewhat ironic. But he still said aloud, "I think you shouldn't be too critical of him. He probably knew I had other women, so it's normal for him to advise you to leave me and break up with me, after all, he's your father. Later, he saw that you were happy and joyful with me, and I liked you too, so he gradually changed his mindset. Of course, my wealth might have had a slight effect, but it shouldn't be the absolute factor. So, don't misunderstand your father; he definitely loves you, there's no doubt about that."

After a brief silence, Brina changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go take over that villa. I'm really curious and can't wait. You said before that this villa is worth over a hundred million dollars. I've never seen such an expensive house before, let alone lived in it. Why don't we just stay there tonight?"

“Of course. Since we already have a house, why stay in a hotel? We'll stay there tonight, including my two bodyguards. And then tomorrow…”

At this point, Chen Feng hesitated slightly, thinking of Luna. He had already agreed to let Luna move into the villa, but she obviously couldn't live alone in such a large villa. They would definitely need two housekeepers, one for cleaning and the other for her daily needs. In addition, they would at least need a security guard and a bodyguard. It was best to let Luna decide this herself, rather than letting Brina decide, since Brina was going to study in Xiuzhou in July.

"What's wrong? Is there anything going on tomorrow?" Brina asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "I've already agreed to let Luna move into this villa. So, I plan to take her with me tomorrow to interview a nanny, as well as a security guard and a bodyguard. We need to find at least one for each of us, otherwise, living in such a big villa without security personnel will make us feel unsafe."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Brina merely frowned slightly before saying, "Since you've made your decision, I certainly can't object. However, before I go to Xiuzhou to study, I also want to live in this villa. And when I come back, I also want to stay here, so you must reserve a room for me. Is that alright?"

Chen Feng, of course, couldn't object and immediately nodded, saying, "Of course. If you hadn't gone to Xiuzhou to study, this villa would definitely be for you to live in. Of course, you can stay there anytime in the future; you'll be the mistress of that villa."

Brina really wanted to ask: What about Luna? Is she also the mistress?
In the end, she refrained from asking. Asking the question might embarrass her, and she didn't want to force Chen Feng to make a choice between two options—that would be foolish.

After all, Chen Feng had more than two women around him. She had no right or authority to force Chen Feng to make any choice. She simply disapproved of Luna's professional identity, believing she was only after Chen Feng for money. This had a slight psychological impact on her, given her somewhat fastidious nature. After all, Chen Feng was now her man.

"Alright, let's head out now. I can't wait to see what this house is like."

So, the two of them didn't say anything more. Chen Feng quickly packed his luggage, including some personal items that Luna had left behind, which he also took with him. Then, he called over two bodyguards and told them to take their luggage as well, and prepare to check out.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at the luxury villa in Beverly Hills by car.

The original servants here have been dismissed, and only one butler remains, waiting for Chen Feng, the new master, to come and complete the handover.

About half an hour later, Chen Feng had officially taken over the management of the villa, including the access control system, security system, and surveillance system. Other aspects, such as the transfer of utility accounts, had been handled by Frank. This was relatively convenient in Los Angeles; the application could be submitted online.

The four entered the garden villa. Chen Feng, having been there once before, wasn't particularly impressed. However, Brina and the two bodyguards, Wang Yichuan and Zhang Jianhui, all showed expressions of astonishment.

Such a mansion, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is something most people would never have the chance to live in; even just being able to come in and take a look is considered lucky. (End of Chapter)
