Chapter 257 Kill Two Birds with One Stone (1/2)
At this time, Lawyer Martin was talking with Gloria in the detention center.
He didn't ask her directly about the facts of the case, but asked her some general questions. Firstly, he wanted to get close to her, and secondly, he wanted to know how she was like. After a short conversation, Lawyer Martin found that the way she talked was different from that of Sheila. She was very vigilant and it was not that easy to be cheated.
She really didn't trust the lawyer brought by Dylan. It was not because she doubted whether the lawyer was sent by others, but because she was doubtful about the professional ability of the free lawyer. She committed a murder case. How could a third class lawyer save her? Only the top-notch lawyer was qualified.
The two chatted for a few minutes with tentative questions, and they seemed to get along very well. With the help of the several minutes' acquaintance and the information that Ashley gave him, Lawyer Martin already had a good idea of how to deal with Gloria.
Most of the content they talked about was not important, so Sheila was a little anxious while hearing them. ”Lawyer Martin, please tell my mother about the case.”
Lawyer Martin nodded, ”speaking of the case, there is a principle. Now that it is certain that I will handle you...”
”Lawyer Martin.” ”You know, there is no free lunch in the world. With the due respect, may I know whether you have handled such a major criminal case before? What's the result? ”
”You don't believe in my ability!” Lawyer Martin was fuming with rage.
In group consciousness, the crowd would unconsciously listen to the strongest consciousness, and anger was the best way to express this consciousness. It was as if a group of people were discussing a thing that had never come to an end. If one of them was very resentful and expressed what he wanted to do, the others would unconsciously choose to listen to him.
Ashley had told Martin that the two had nowhere to go, so they would not give up him, the lawyer charging nothing, easily. As long as he didn't go too far, proper emotion would earn him trust.
Lawyer Martin sprang to his feet and began, ”I have been engaged in many lawsuits, ranging from thousands to millions. But no one has questioned me like this! If it weren't for Sheila's constant pleading and her filial piety, I wouldn't have stepped in your business!”
As he said, he pushed away the chair and turned around, intending to leave.
Sheila panicked and ran to stop him. ”Lawyer Martin, please don't go! What should we do if you leave? Please don't hold grudges against my mother! ”
Lawyer Martin shook off Sheila's hand, ”I can bear everything, but I can't bear others to question my ability! If you don't trust me, why should I stay here? It's a waste of my time. I'm very busy! ”
