[Titanic] Harbor

Walking out of Green's office, Wayne's assistant came up to him: "Sir, he adopted your suggestion?"

The assistant's job is to find all the information for Wayne to use.They communicated as they walked.

"No, he didn't. Apparently, our client didn't think that one witness made a difference."

"Then...shall we talk to Mr. Wren again? Maybe he has other news to give us." The assistant opened the car door for Lawyer Wayne, and both of them got in, and Wayne reported an address.

"You still think it's so simple. Ryan provided me with clues only because he needed to expose these things. We are using each other, and there is no emotional factor in it." Wayne leaned on the seat of the car and said earnestly : "You know, in our industry, sometimes even our own customers can't fully trust us."

To be honest, she didn't really believe in Green's innocence.Whether it is framed or accused by the outside world, it sounds completely impeccable.

It's just that his job is to work for rich people and get paid huge sums from them.In order to get some benefits, sometimes right or wrong is not the only criterion for judging things.

"Then...Miss Erica, the witness, don't use it?...Didn't you say that the lack of a strong evidence will make the whole case passive?"

The assistant was puzzled by this.He has worked with Lawyer Wayne for five or six years. Although there are still many things he doesn't understand about this industry, Wayne is always willing to give him an answer whenever he asks.

But this time, Wayne didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked, "I asked you to check. Are you ready for the information about Mr. Hugh White?"

Hugh White was another witness.

It's just that his job is to serve as Green's secretary, so the judge may not directly accept his words.

"Ah! Yes, I almost forgot about it." The assistant took out a dozen thick documents from the briefcase.He introduced Wayne succinctly: "Mr. White's past is quite clean, and his journey along the way is quite admirable."

"From a person at the bottom of the society, he changed his destiny through learning. Mr. White graduated from a public university, and his mentors praised him very much. After entering Green's company, he also recognized his excellent work. He was reused by Mr. Green because of his efficiency, and in that incident, he even saved Mr. Green's life regardless of his own safety."

"Is there anything special about his interpersonal relationship?" Wayne's assistant can always investigate a person's life in the shortest possible time, and there are very few mistakes.

That's why, the assistant is not suitable for this job, Mr. Wayne still insists on keeping him as his assistant.

"Uh...let me see." The assistant pulled out one of the nearly identical sheets of paper, and said, "He had two parties with Mr. Wren recently, but they were not reimbursed from the company."

"Fine. I think that's all we need."

Attorney Wayne is an excellent lawyer.This means that he can always find what is best for him in the mess.

Satisfied, the lawyer took off his glasses, put them in the glasses case, and said to his assistant meaningfully: "This Mr. Hugh's testimony is very important."

"Erica, what are you thinking?" After getting into the car, Erica kept looking out the window, thinking about what happened this morning.

"Eh...it's nothing." Erica withdrew her gaze from the car glass, and her focus was not on the rapidly reversing scenery.

"Mom, I think you don't mind telling me, what's the story behind the house you rented?"

Mrs. Dalton was very keen on some gossip.This sounds a bit incompatible with her status as a noble lady, but if you think about it from another angle, you will feel that this is also a compulsory course in the upper class-being well-informed.

"You said that dilapidated villa. I told your father that I am very dissatisfied with that house. This part-time job does not fit our identities." Mrs. Dalton complained to her daughter first. , Then, she leaned closer to Erica, and whispered to Erica in a soft voice characteristic of spreading gossip——

"Before we lived in this house, his owner was very mysterious. This gentleman is now a powerful figure. It is worth mentioning that his family was once lonely. But in the end, it was still under his hands to rebuild the glory .”

"We live in an ancestral house?" Erica didn't quite believe it. A family's ancestral house is so small?If this is the case, rebuilding such a place is nothing to be proud of.

"Of course not." Mrs. Dalton shook her head. "This is just a childhood residence of that adult. It is said that he and his father designed the layout of this place together. Let me tell you, there is nothing special about their design .”

"Indeed." Erica smiled back at Mrs. Dalton's evaluation.

But that's not the case.She had seen the owl passage in the morning in the master bedroom where Mrs Dalton had slept the previous night.This opening was designed as a unique lighting point, but when Erica looked carefully, she noticed that there was a skylight design on the other side that could accommodate a certain bird.

So, that owl is domestic.It's just which adult would... "Mom, you must know who that adult is?"

"He is now the queen's celebrity. The Duke who has inherited the family business." Mrs. Dalton was satisfied with Erica's questioning, and generously gave the final answer.

"He's an Englishman? But this is America!"

"That's why he's selling the property. And the lord wants the new owner to be someone from his own country. Now, get it? We're not renting, we're buying."

This news from Mrs. Dalton contains a lot of information.

Some fragmentary information was integrated in Erica's mind, and the relationship between characters that she thought was very fragmented was forming a simple network of relationships at a rapid speed.

The world is really small.

Remember Joseph? —the owner of the steamship company, the guy who turned Erica down, the guy who was spied by Mr. Tom.

Erica found out later that his fortune did not come from an individual, but that he married the sister of a big man when the big man was still down and out.

So the owner of this house, the Duke, is Joseph's brother-in-law.

Except knowing that a duke kept an owl.Also discarded it, the discovery has no further effect.

Green has kept a mouse, and the Duke has an owl. I really don't know what they are thinking!

Erica thought to herself mockingly, should she raise a golden python, so that it will be smooth sailing in the future.

Afternoon tea is held as scheduled, and New York, a big city, has no shortage of good places for afternoon tea.Mrs. Dalton's friend held this event in the back garden of their home. The afternoon sun was just right, and the flowers in the garden were blooming beautifully under the hard work of the gardener.

The May roses were blooming just right, giving Erica a chance to compliment her.

"Ma'am, you are really good at taking care of these roses." Erica glanced at the gardener standing in the garden, and then praised the hostess for her meticulous decoration of her garden without paying attention.

"You really know the goods. The roses in my garden are all star flowers in New York's annual rose festival!" Erica's praise hit the heart of the lady, and she pulled Erica enthusiastically Appreciate these flowers at a closer distance.

"The roses of this variety have a long flowering period. I usually keep the most beautiful clusters and collect the other flowers to make some rose water. This will appear on the afternoon tea table, you should use more."

"Yes, I think I will." Erica, accompanied by the hostess, took a walk and visited the beautiful garden.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her mother. The waiter brought a tray and whispered something in her ear.

"Excuse me." Erica nodded to the hostess.She hurried back to Mrs. Dalton's side, wanting to know what happened.

"Oh! Another good news!" After reading the content, Mrs. Dalton danced with joy.

Erica guessed the first good news was that Mrs. Dalton had found her.

It was bad news for her to be found by her family, and she didn't want to hear 'another' one.

"Erica, it's really time for you to come, come quickly and see, a telegram from your father."

Telegram has been transcoded.Mr. Dalton spent a lot of money to let their mother and daughter see the news in time.

Erica took the telegram.She is no stranger to this thing.But when she read the information at a glance, she couldn't help exclaiming: "My God!"

Mr. Dalton said in a telegram that last night, when he was struggling to support the family business, a sum of money remitted from overseas had entered the bank account of the Dalton family. He was notified this morning that the sum The funds are very strong, that is to say-the property crisis of the Dalton family has been lifted.

Mr. Dalton's joy was telegraphed from London to New York.Erica saw the end of the telegram and added that he hadn't found out which gentleman sent the funds, and there was only a signature called dg on the remittance.

Erica's hand holding the paper tightened.

Of all the people she knew, there was only one Mr. G—Green.

Why should Green help her family?The matter of the Dalton family has nothing to do with him. The only possibility is that he is helping himself.

Erica felt that she might have interpreted the note last night a little rashly.Green told her to go back to London because he thought she would do well there.

he thinks!

But no matter what, this favor is too big!

Erica bit her lip, abruptly turning her gnashing of teeth expression into surprise.She and Mrs. Dalton hugged, and then the mother and daughter smiled knowingly.

There is no need to tell others about this news.

And she must go to court.
