Chapter 033 (1/2)
Because I live in my uncle's house, I get up early every morning, and today is no exception.
These days, after getting up, I always get used to tinkling on the piano in my cousin's room to make a string of notes of ”wild bee flying” and then run to help my aunt prepare breakfast.
Leave the room and walk to the kitchen as usual.
My uncle was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. He noticed her coming out and said, ”good morning, Jane.”
”Good morning, uncle,” he came to the kitchen and gave his aunt a kiss on the face. ”Good morning, aunt.”
”Good morning,” my aunt said with a smile, ”I always listen to you play the piano these days. Are you interested in music again?”
Helping my aunt divide the salad, she shook her head and said, ”no, did you disturb me?”
”Of course not. Lisa and Clark have moved out. I'd like more noise at home.”
”Hehe, isn't there Carl?”
”Carl is just too shy to deal with people. By the way, is he up? ”
”I didn't see it.”
So my aunt told my uncle in the living room to call my little cousin Carl to get up.
So busy for a while, a family of four sitting around the restaurant, began to eat breakfast.
My aunt helped her pour the milk, and then asked the opposite uncle, ”who called this morning, so early?”
My uncle said, ”Janet Johnston, a very important client, asked me to help her with a case.”
”I remember that woman,” my aunt thought and said, ”she always feels a little abnormal.”
”Is that your woman's prejudice? Why didn't I feel it? ”
The little cousin who had bowed his head to eat suddenly put in a sentence: ”Dad, it shows that you are not normal either.”
She burst into laughter.
My aunt pretended to be angry and knocked on my little cousin's head: ”how do you say your father?”
Uncle just laughed, but then turned to her: ”Jennie, this is a very interesting case, wait and see with me.”
She went to Yale Law School and will get her doctor's degree next year. She has confirmed that she will practice in her uncle's office. At this time, she immediately nodded her head when she heard what her uncle said
After breakfast, I changed into a light gray women's professional suit with plaid pattern, simply tied a ponytail, said goodbye to my aunt and cousin, and left Beller community with my uncle by car.
On the way, my uncle told her about the general situation of the case: ”it happened in Santa Monica last night. Five youths beat up a boy who worked late at night. Jenny, what do you think of the result?”
Five for one, what else?
She thought in her heart, but she was worried that she would represent the five thugs today.
His uncle noticed the change in her expression and saw her mind clearly. He said, ”Jennie, it's very difficult for you to become a qualified lawyer. However, we are representing the boy who was beaten today. ”
Then he put down his heart and asked, ”uncle, what's the result?”
”As a result,” my uncle said with a smile, ”all of the five young people were broken in one leg, seriously comminuted fracture, and one of them lost seven teeth. The boy who was attacked was only slightly injured. ”
Originally, she was still worried about the beaten boy. At this time, hearing what her uncle said, she immediately opened her mouth, showing an incredible appearance and said, ”he, is he Bruce Lee?”
”Oh, let's go and have a look.”
Then, at UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, she once again saw the focused figure holding the guitar on the beach of Venice.
”Simon, this is George Norman, a lawyer. He is very good. He will help us to clean up those rubbish. Oh, George, this is Simon, Simon westero. ”
Simon westero.
Immediately remembered the name.
The uncle shook hands with the boy, turned and introduced her.
The lady came forward, reached out her hand to him and said shyly, ”Hello, I'm Jennifer Leibold.”
Simon smiles, shakes the girl with a ponytail in front of him and says, ”Rebold, I know. It means rainbow, right?”
Jennifer Leibold nodded, a little surprised, and said, ”yes.”
Raybold is a variant of rainbow.
I didn't expect that he knew this kind of rare little knowledge. However, he didn't know the origin of ”Westeros”. It seems that he should make a good investigation when he goes back.
However, he obviously did not remember himself at all, and he could not help feeling a little lost.
With that in mind, he continued to shake hands with Janet Johnston and say hello. It suddenly occurred to me that this should be the woman who wanted to steal money from his piano box that day. It turned out that they not only knew each other, but also were so close that ordinary friends would not spend so much time with each other when they were in hospital.After the greeting, George Norman sat down by Simon's bed, took out his notebook and began to ask for more details about last night's incident. Jennifer Leibold was also sitting next to her uncle with a notebook in her hand.
Simon was as cooperative as he could be.
After chatting for more than half an hour, George Norman left for a while, intending to communicate with the police in charge of the case.
Simon's ward is temporarily left with him and Janet.
But, not long after it was quiet, there was a knock on the door. In response, a tall middle-aged man with rimless glasses came in.
”Mr. westlow?” The middle-aged man confirmed and offered his business card, saying, ”I'm Derek Wheeler, mark Stein's lawyer.”
Janet, who was still smiling, lost her face when she heard the introduction.
Simon said quietly, ”Hello, Mr. Wheeler.”
Derek Wheeler didn't care about Janet's indifference, but he didn't sit down. He still stood beside Simon's bed and stood down with a few separations. He said, ”Mr. westrow, after communicating with my clients, I found that you have inflicted violent injuries on them as usual when they have lost their resistance ability. This is a very serious crime of intentional injury. If this case goes to court, you will also face imprisonment. Besides, I also know that you are a potential screenwriter. You have just signed a contract with Fox pictures. If things go wrong, it may ruin your career. ”
