Such strong arguments, I have not bothered to spit.
“Take them out.” I instructed the bodyguard, “No more are allowed in without orders.”
After saying that, the bodyguard took action, dragging and dragging, and drove the two out.
Once they left, the living room was completely quiet.
Folly immediately deflated, grabbed the sofa to hold on to the upper body, cold sweat on the forehead one by one, struggling to breathe heavily, I looked at the intolerant, but also can only take care of, not dare to talk more.
Proud people at heart, some dignity is a lifetime can not be put down.
…
I came out of The Lewis Residence in a depressed mood, and when I got home, I hid myself in my room with my kids.
After sitting for a while, it was natural to call Dennis.
He picked up quickly, but his voice was muted, “Hello.”
“When are you coming over?” I asked, bored as I rocked the crib with nothing to do.
“Where to?” Dennis spared the words.
“The Kennedy Residence ah.” I deliberately raised the volume and pretended to remind, “Didn’t I say before that I wanted to eat my hand-made home cooking, it just so happens that I made it today, are you sure you don’t want to come?”
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone before Dennis’ voice came back, “Clara, is this a way to please me?”
Some times, men are too smart to be considered a good thing.
I bit my lip, did not answer directly, “godfather and Leo they have come back, you do not come can be to open dinner.”
“Oh …” Dennis was in a good mood and laughed twice, finally dissolved the dry, “today is too late, I have another appointment, can not push, you guys eat first, another day, and then make a separate for me. ”
“You think so, there is no next time!”
Hanging up the phone actually made my heart feel a lot lighter.
Sure enough, the presence of some people, even if they do nothing, is enough to comfort the soul.
Folly is a clear person, said to pursue to the end, then did not intend to let Lindsey, as a representative lawyer, I do not have experience in the courtroom, so I asked Leon for me to choose a few similar cases of the trial, personally to learn from the scene.
After a full day of observing in several courtrooms, it was already dark when I left.
Sitting in the car, I took out my phone and was about to go back to Leo and their Facebook, when a push notification popped up in the notification bar.
is the topic of Twitter.
Probably because I was bored all day and wanted to find some gossip to relax, I ghostly clicked in.
After the loading was completed, Dennis’ spirited photo appeared.
#The president of the branch of the Whaley Group is suspected to be in a deep relationship with the general manager of the George Group.
When I saw this topic, I subconsciously raised my eyebrows.
I’ve heard Dennis mention the Whaley family before, and Ms. Whaley is naturally Chandler’s sister, Susan.
The reporter was very good at capturing the photo, and the angle was so tricky that the two people on the photo looked like they were in love with each other, so it was a perfect match.
But a closer look will know that there is no skin-to-skin interaction between the two, even if the most easily misunderstood whispering, Dennis and Susan in the distance between them, and even another person can stand down.
The thing that catches the wind, see too much is also mediocre, just as Leo called, I will put this matter to the back of my mind.
At the dinner table, Leo and Deborah even joked about it, which was brushed off by my deleting two sentences.
Rumor has it, I’ll just take Dennis at his word and see what he does.
Dennis’ phone call came just before bedtime, “Aren’t you the least bit curious about what my relationship with Susan is?”
Put down the legal documents in your hand, get the phone to the heel, switch to video, Dennis seconds through, already this point, he is still in the company.
I laughed, “You ruined her own brother’s hands, what kind of relationship do you think you two could develop?”
Those keyboard warriors on the Internet don’t know what happened, so it’s okay to talk nonsense. Anyone with a brain can see that Dennis’ behavior towards Susan was based on the courtesy of ordinary friends, but through the media, adding fuel to the fire to make it seem like a big deal.
If the two of them really have something, set out to face the public, is with the Civil Affairs Bureau big red seal stamp of the book, rather than put two confusing photos, deliberately to attract attention.
“Well, getting wise, that sounds a little braggy.” Dennis leaned back leisurely in his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, his face a little flushed from the wine he had consumed.
“Showing off? Maybe.” I asked, “You can tell by looking at Chandler that THE Whaley family are not nice people, and you need to be more careful with Susan.”
“There are other options, and I don’t want to sell my sex.” Dennis suddenly opened his eyes, some helpless look at me, “the next period of time, I may often contact with Susan, online those news you do not listen to, and do not believe, there are special circumstances, I will explain to you alone.”
For some reason, Dennis seemed very tired today.
I laughed to dispel his concerns, “Go ahead and do what you feel is right, the kids and I will be fine, just one thing, even if I’m not around, don’t work overnight for a week or two in a row, get well to make up for my promise.”
“Good.” Dennis pursed his lips and nodded his head in agreement, then suddenly remembered something and said, “Folly’s case, I heard she wants you to be her lawyer?”
“Yeah, it’s kind of supporting my career, whether it’s for the firm or Folly, I’ll give it my all this time. After preparing for so long, it’s time to try my strength.”
“Get someone else.” Dennis said.
“Why?” I was a little confused, “You question my ability? Or are you worried that my body won’t hold up?”
The former is understandable, if the latter, there is no need, the virus in my body, although it is a bomb, but when nothing is wrong, I am no different from a normal person, if therefore give up a normal life, a lifetime of lying in bed, and what is the difference between dead?
“It’s not that.” Dennis explained patiently, “Can’t you see that Lindsey, who is not a good person, dared to hire someone to throw acid on Folly today, can you guarantee that she won’t do something outrageous tomorrow to threaten you? With so many people in your law firm, it’s not hard to find someone to take your place, there’s no need to take the brunt of it.”
After thinking about it, Dennis’s concerns are not unreasonable, after all, before Folly was injured, no one could have imagined that a seemingly defenseless woman, a ruthless heart, to human life and destroy people’s faces.
“I know, when it comes time to appear in court, I will have someone from the firm fill in for me and also avoid conflict with Lindsey as much as possible, you don’t have to worry about my side.”
