Downstairs, Joey Xu sat back in the car, tilted his head to look at the window that was still lit, remembering the way she gritted her teeth when she walked him out the door, not daring to get angry, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but raise higher. The mood is very good.
For the first time, I realized that it was really quite fun to tease a woman. Pulling out his cell phone, he hung up a call to Goodburn.
The money is finally back, Sammy Jones heart is a little more peaceful, so this night sleep a good night.
Early the next morning, before she went to the office, she went to the bank. Inserting her card into the ATM, her mind was quickly jolted into blankness by the series of ‘0’s. Thinking she was blind, she went over and counted again. There were really six zeros!
Over a million?
It was the first time Sammy Jones had seen so much money, and her heart tingled at the tip. Vigilantly looking around to make sure no one could see it, she hurriedly covered the screen and retreated the card. Didn’t even dare to withdraw the money.
Is this Joey Xu a psycho! Spending over 100, 000 dollars on her and then paying her back 1 million dollars?
Sammy Jones really wanted to just pocket all that money, and Joey Xu had plenty of it anyway. With this money, she could buy a house without any worries. However, years of education would not allow it!
She did like money, wanted it in her dreams, wished she could be carefree every day, not have to think about money, not be pushed to the brink of extinction. However, she understands that there is no reward for no work.
Stowing the card carefully in her bag, she exited the bank with her head down. On the way to the office, she was scared as if she was carrying a stolen treasure.
As soon as we entered the office, a coworker came over and eagerly said, “Xiaoyu, congratulations! Congratulations!”
“Yeah! You’re finally getting over it now! You can take cases again!”
Sammy Jones’ master also came out of his office with a smile on his face, “And you were finally smart enough to get Mr. Xu’s heart back.”
Huh?
“You guys mean Joey Xu revoked the order?!” She was shocked and couldn’t believe it.
A heart was still hanging tight in the back of his throat until he got a definite answer.
“That’s right! Already got the call today. Sammy Jones, you’re going to have to buy us all dinner tonight and celebrate!”
Sammy Jones squealed in surprise, nearly jumping up and down with happiness, and with a beat of his chest, he said, “Fine! You guys can eat whatever you want! Tonight, I’ll cover it! All of everyone’s spending is on me!”
Not only did she have money, she had a job, and her life was back on track! Unexpectedly, Joey Xu didn’t give her a hard time anymore, she couldn’t believe it!
Then …
Sammy Jones threw himself into his work almost immediately. Having previously transferred cases from other attorneys and now having them back on himself, there is endless motivation to fight!
When flipping through the file, she inadvertently flipped to the Sifang Group’s file. She pulled it out and flipped it over, and was seen by a colleague, Le Mei, who reached out to her and held it down.
“Still watching? Still don’t think you’ve learned enough lessons?” Le Mei looked like she wasn’t afraid to die.
Sammy Jones sighed, “What’s going on with the Quartet case now? Who took it over?”
“After you were suspended, the word spread around the circle. The guy from the Four Square Group also came to our firm and begged everyone here, but of course no one dared to take it. I heard people from other firms say that he also went to other places to look for them, but … “Le Mei shrugged, “You know, just with us we simply can’t fight those people.”
Sammy Jones sighed. Le Mei was right, even if they wanted to fight, they had the will but not the strength. She was the best example. Thinking of the way he so solemnly assured Joey Xu last night, he put the dossier back after all.
It was only because she made a promise that Joey Xu spared her this time. If she does it again, I’m afraid Joey Xu will really kill her.
And, having promised him, she couldn’t go back on her promise.
“Eh, right, eight things with you.” Le Mei suddenly probed over.
“Uh-huh. What is it?” Sammy Jones kept his head down and continued to look at the information he was holding.
“Didn’t you ask Xu Guohua to dinner last night, and guess what happened to him today?”
At the mention of that man, Sammy Jones couldn’t help but remember his own fright last night, which was still haunting him, so he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and curse, “Bastard!”
Le Mei laughed, “The bitchy man was taken away from the top to investigate today!”
“No?” Sammy Jones couldn’t help himself. Someone was really taking the heat for her!
“That’s not true! It is said that last night someone anonymously sent an important e-mail to the top, all the evidence of Xu Guohua usually do those things. What’s more, he’s been convicted of whoring, taking bribes, and keeping a mistress… It’s a lot of guilt, so you can figure out how many years you’ll be locked up.”
Sammy Jones was so happy he almost applauded, “That’s really how assholes like that should be taught a lesson! It’s a beautiful day!”
She couldn’t help but feel emotional. The money is back, the job is back, even the son of a bitch who bullied her heaven helped her to clean up the mess!
Le Mei thought she was crazy, “It’s storming outside right now!”
“It doesn’t matter, the sun is shining brightly in my heart!”
Sammy Jones did not call Joey Xu again from beginning to end, and she felt that there was nothing more to say to him. She felt that he could not afford the word ‘thank you’. After all, these things are all caused by him. Only, she still think Joey Xu should come to her, after all, he more than 100 million is still in her hands.
However, that person also really just disappeared without a trace. It looked like he really didn’t care about the money.
He doesn’t care, but someone else does! Sammy Jones is holding a huge deposit, and she can’t sleep for fear every day. I’m afraid that the night was a thief to steal the card, back to Joey Xu and then asked her to return, she had to take the life to return. Thinking of sending him to Yung’s, she was afraid of losing it to the courier, and then she had no place to cry.
Give it back to him personally? Don’t! She doesn’t want to see that man again at all!
What the hell do we do?
Sammy Jones hunkered down on the couch, hugging a pillow with some distressing thoughts. Side to take the remote control to turn the channel, the result …
A familiar place on the screen whipped past her eyes. The station had been skipped over with a quick press, and she gave it back after a moment of bewilderment. It was a social news. And the place where the anchor was broadcasting was right in front of the main gate of Rong’s Group.
“According to the report, because the official surnamed Xu suspected that the anonymous letter reporting on him had come from Mr. Joey Xu, President of the Yung Group, the wife and children of the official surnamed Xu rushed out on the street with a bucket of sulphuric acid this afternoon in a vain attempt to take revenge on Mr. Xu. Because of the large amount of sulfuric acid, it caused a huge damage situation. The five injured people have now been sent to the hospital for treatment.”
There was no footage of the time on the news, only some footage from the hospital. The injured were all mosaiced, probably because of their disfigurement, and it was also a blur.
Sammy Jones watched with chills running down his spine.
Joey Xu had acid thrown on him? Is the official surnamed Xu … the same Xu Guohua who was in trouble a few days ago? If it’s really Joey Xu who posted the anonymous letter, then …
Sammy Jones rose expansively from the couch.
He sent an anonymous letter, it wouldn … t have anything to do with her being almost raped by Xu Guohua last time, right?
If that’s the case, wouldn’t she have dragged him into getting acid thrown on him?
The more Sammy Jones thought about it, the more he felt fidgety. I don t know how he is now, if he really was thrown acid on his face, that face …
Days!
Suddenly afraid to think about it, she grabbed the phone with her hands and called the string she had called once before.
“Hello.” Yoshimoto’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Hey Goodburn, it’s Sammy Jones. joey Xu is he okay?” Her heart screwed up.
“So it’s Miss Jones. Mr. Xu is still in the hospital, what do you want with him?”
“Still in the hospital?” Sammy Jones’ heart pumped, it looked like he was really hurt by the acid. Unable to help himself, he gripped his cell phone tightly, “Which hospital is he in? I’m coming over right now.”
“No, Miss Jones, Mr. Xu will be back from the hospital in a few minutes.”
“Just back from the hospital? How come so soon?”
“Yes. Mr. Xu doesn’t like the smell of the hospital, so he’ll go back tonight and come back in the morning.” Yoshimoto patiently explained.
So, his injuries are still serious and it’s just his own capriciousness that made him come back from the hospital?
“Yoshimoto, can you tell me the address of Joey Xu’s house, I want to walk to him first.”
Goodbourne froze slightly. “Is Miss Jones up to something this late?”
Uh …
She froze too.
Yeah, running to his house this late in the evening didn’t seem appropriate in any way. But …
“Yes, there are some things I want to ask him about. And, I have something to give him.”
If it was because of herself that he got acid thrown at him, she always needed to know for sure. It’s just as well to take advantage of this and return the bank card to him as well.
Sammy Jones said so, the good book only said wait a moment, then lowered his voice to ask Joey Xu. Joey Xu is categorically nodded, the good book to give the address to Sammy Jones.
Hanging up the phone, Sammy Jones was still a little worried.
Just now on the phone, also did not hear Joey Xu’s voice, even if it is good Ben asked, he did not say anything. It can’t be, really hurt very badly! If those people really want to retaliate, it is bound to be all full of energy to splash on him.
Sammy Jones inexplicably winced at the thought of this possibility. Without a moment’s delay, he collected his bank card, grabbed his bag and cell phone and hurried out the door.
Sammy Jones hitchhiked all the way to Joey Xu’s house. Standing in front of the mansion, she couldn’t help but be staggered. Her life and Joey Xu’s life were really far apart! She is now thinking through her head, stingy with that little money just to buy a few dozen ping house, but also the road is difficult, until now the down payment has not saved enough. And look at Joey Xu, such a big mansion, covering an area of I do not know how big.
“What corruption!” She shook her head and lamented, seeing the light on inside she rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by a maid, “Who are you looking for, this young lady?”
“I’m here to see Joey Xu, I called him before I came and he said he would be back from the hospital, is he back already?” Sammy Jones asked as he looked around searchingly and saw no sign of Joey Xu.
As soon as the maid heard her words, she nodded in understanding, “It’s Miss Jones, isn’t it? Please come in, Mr. Zenimoto did call back to explain. Mr. Xu is now out of the hospital and should be home soon.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Sammy Jones changed his shoes and, led by the other, headed for the mansion.
The décor here was a luxurious and atmospheric European style décor. Even an amateur like her could see that every decoration here was definitely from the hand of a famous artist. Delicate, chic, and atmospheric.
“You have tea.” The maid brought hot tea over to Sammy Jones.
Sammy Jones came back to his senses, still having concerns in his mind, “So, excuse me, do you know how hurt Mr. Xu is right now? Is he seriously hurt?”
