It was dark and I didn’t recognize who he was.
I was just about to ask who he was, and he took a step forward.
I said in surprise,” Jack?”
How could it be him?
“Do you think I like to pick you up in the middle of the night?”
Jack was impatient, too. He took out the car key and pressed it on the high-end sports car not far away.”Get in the car now. I’m going to a party.”
“Thank you. I can go home by myself.”
I had a bad impression of Jack, so I didn’t want to stay with him.
Jack didn’t talk to me at first. He got into the car himself. When I got to the intersection and wanted to take a taxi, Jack’s sports car stopped in front of me and he said, “get in the car now! If Sean hadn’t asked me to pick you up, I wouldn’t have come.”
Sean?
I was a little nervous when I realized it was him.
I hesitated and got on the copilot.
As soon as I got in the car, Jack’s phone rang.
Jack took a look and picked it up. I heard him say, “I got her. She didn’t like to go with me. She wants me to beg her.”
“…”
I took a look at Jack.
How could this man be like this!
Before I could speak, he threw his cell phone on me.”Answer the phone.”
Then he started the car. The car flew out!
I looked at the cell phone on my leg and hesitated. I thought I needed to talk to Sean.
I picked up the phone and said, “hello.”
“Are you ok?”
Sean’s soft voice came over the phone.
His voice seemed to have healing power, but I was heartbroken.
I took the phone and nodded, “I’m fine. Thank you for letting him pick me up, or I don’t know what to do.”
“Sorry. I can’t pick you up myself. I can only let him pick you up.”
“It’s okay. I…”I wanted to say something, but I just said, “thank you.”
When I was detained in the police station, I was wondering whether Sherry’s operation was an accident or someone deliberately did it.
If someone did it on purpose, Molly was suspect.
I wanted Sean to help me with my investigation just now.
But in case it was related to Molly…
Sean seemed to hear my hesitation. He asked, “what’s the matter?”
“Nothing. I’m a little tired. Thank you.”
I didn’t know what to say except thank you.
As for the investigation, I thought I could only rely on myself.
I had no money without Sherry’s card.
At present, the fastest way to get money was to sell my house and take part in the design competition!
I hung up and gave it to Jack. Jack gave me a look. He suddenly said politely, “Miss Carter, I suddenly feel that I just went too far. I apologize to you.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Jack began to ask me, “can you tell me something about Daisy? I called her recently. Her cell phone is basically off.”
I see.
I knew Jack would not treat me so well for no reason.
But I knew Daisy didn’t like this kind of playboy. I said, “Daisy won’t like you. I think you should focus on other girls.”
“How could it be!”Jack was obviously not satisfied,” as long as she is with me, she doesn’t need to be so busy every day. I will support her. I’ll buy her anything she likes.”
“Can you support her for life? Will you never have another woman?”
I looked at Jack and asked him directly.
In fact, I knew the answer even if he didn’t answer me.
It was impossible.
Sure enough, Jack coughed twice after I asked. He didn’t talk until he sent me home.
The next day, I went to the company registration office to sign up for the design competition.
There were still three weeks left for the preliminary contest.
But in addition to the work of the competition, I had a more important thing, which was to find a lawyer.
This week I went to the hospital at night to accompany Sherry, and during the day I went to seven or eight law firms. I consulted several law firms online.
As a result, I didn’t find a suitable lawyer.
Highly qualified lawyers charged a high price. Even if I gave them all the compensation, they wouldn’t help me.
The lawyers I could afford were new or inexperienced. They didn’t promise to let me win.
Although some people said they would fight for me, I dared not bear the possibility of even one percent of going to jail.
I didn’t want to go back to jail.
For more than a week, I didn’t even make a draft.
Fortunately, Jessica found a nursing room in the hospital.
They didn’t come. I lived there at night with my computer. I draw in my room.
Only a day later, I received a summons from the court to tell me the time of the hearing.
When I saw the court summons, I realized that the”battle”was about to start again.
In desperation, I could only call Daisy and ask if she knew any lawyers.
Daisy had a lot of contacts. As soon as I told her about it, she quickly sent me the name of a law firm and a lawyer’s name and phone number.
But she was abroad so she couldn’t be with me.
I was surprised to see the information.
This law firm was called three K. It was made up of three very famous lawyers in York.
I had searched this law firm before, but I dared not even call.
They wouldn’t help me because I had too little money.
Would they help me this time because of Daisy?
I hesitated for a moment and then decided to try.
The next day I asked for leave and went to three K law firm.
I went in and explained my intention. I met the lawyer that Daisy introduced to me. His name was George.
The lawyer was chubby. He was only wearing a white shirt and the buttons on the collar were undone.
He was about forty years old. He had the feeling of a middle-aged, greasy old man.
When it came to Daisy, his eyes were dirty.
I hated him a little, but I had no choice for the case.
I started telling George about my case, and he listened and made notes.
After listening, he said, “your case is very troublesome. It’s a bit of a hassle to falsify information because the evidence is solid.”
“What?”
I didn’t understand for a moment.
George looked at me with a smug face and said, “you don’t have to hide from me. Many people come to me just like you. They hide what they have done and only tell me what they want. In fact, we are in a group.”
It took me a while to understand.
He thought I did it!
