[Titanic] Harbor

"But you know what's best for Mr. Green, don't you?"

"This..." Wayne was actually very willing to let Erica appear in court, but considering Green's resistance to this, he had to make some trade-offs.

"That's right, Miss Erica. You need to tell me in advance, and you will say it in court as a witness."

"I borrowed Green's telegraph on the Titanic and sent a letter home, but since I was not skilled in operation, I tried it with the translated telegram on the side. I realized afterwards that I Possibly a sale of Mr. Green's shares. But that's a mistake."

The lawyer frowned.His initial judgment on Erica is that she is a sincere girl. Although the truth of the matter is a bit dramatic, if it is the case, no one needs to pay the price in this trial, and everyone is almost happy.

"I think there are a few loopholes, and the other party's lawyer will definitely catch them. Maybe you will allow me to ask in advance."

Erica nodded, so Lawyer Wayne asked: "Since you said that you are not familiar with the operation of the telegram, how can you be sure that the content you sent is about selling shares?"

"Afterwards, I checked a piece of code that I still remembered, so I can prove it." Erica took a piece of paper from Wayne and wrote down the most critical content of the code.

Wayne raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "How do you prove that you are not specially arranged by Mr. Green to go to court?"

Of course it can't be proved.Erica didn't want to talk to the lawyer about Green helping her family plug a funding hole.And they don't need to worry too much about it.

"I don't think this case needs to be so complicated." Erica pushed the coded paper in front of Wayne, "We just need to prove that Mr. Green has a secretary with malicious intentions, that is to say , As long as Mr. White's crimes are exposed, everything will be solved."

"You will definitely ask me next, why Green prepared the document codes for sale when his assets were at their peak. And this is very simple, because Green did not prepare the codes. It was White, who had ulterior motives from the beginning, He did all this behind his boss's back." Erica paused to give Wayne a buffer time, and finally she made a conclusion: "As long as this is done, Mr. Green can return to the clean."

"Miss Erica, are you telling me how to find a scapegoat for Mr. Green and push Mr. White out to solve the immediate trouble?"

Wayne's expression turned cold.His work experience has led him to meet some of these clients.When encountering such a situation, he would usually resolutely dismiss the case, no matter what price he would have to pay.

It sounds naive, but it was this persistence that made his career never really enter the twilight.

"No, no, no, I don't think there is a scapegoat problem for people who are already guilty." Erica sighed. In fact, you can investigate White, so that everything will come to light.

"Miss Erica." Attorney Wayne stood up, and he believed Erica's words, "I will arrange room and board for you tonight, and now I'm going to court to add you as a witness. Then leave first gone."

When Xio got off work, he saw a faint light shining through the crack in the door of Green's office.He leaned over to the door and took a look—Green was alone, sitting at his desk, dealing with those never-ending documents.

His sitting posture was upright, and even though he had been sitting all day, and no one was looking at him, he didn't relax in the slightest.

There was a mug of warm coffee on Green's desk.Xio knew that this was a perennial habit of his boss, and that black coffee helped him concentrate at work.

Green is a precision machine that never stops. Will he really be completely destroyed because of the damage of one part?Xio was a little uneasy, but his footsteps did not stop, and he was about to walk out of the company.

"Hugh?" Green walked out of the office when Secretary White reached the stairs.

He was very familiar with Xio's back, even in the darkness, he recognized Xio's name.

"Mr. Green. You haven't left work yet." Xio turned around, three surprises and five points of awe, his words almost blurted out.

"You get off work very late, too." Green looked a little soft in the dim light on his face in the office. "The court will be held tomorrow. If you don't mind, I have something to talk to you about."

Xio didn't want to talk to Green again, betraying a boss who took good care of him, he still felt a little guilty deep in his heart, but people always want to climb to the top... Hugh comforted him like this himself, then he bit the bullet and walked into the office with Green.

Green poured Hugh a glass of whiskey, then he gave Hugh two cubes of ice from the ice bucket.

At this moment, the moods of both of them were a bit complicated, but they both concealed their faces very well, and there was nothing wrong with them.

Due to poor health, Green has reduced the frequency of his drinking, but he obviously still remembers Hugh's drinking habits.

Xio took the wine glass in Green's hand and thanked him. The cold touch of the glass made him flinch for a moment. He raised his head and drank the wine in his glass with mixed feelings.

"Sir, you will definitely pass tomorrow smoothly." Xio forced a smile, and under the influence of alcohol, he gradually calmed down.

"I'm sure I can get through this predicament myself." Green poured another half a glass of whiskey for Hugh, leaned back on his seat, slowed down his tone, and said to Hugh, "You've been too tired recently, After tomorrow's business is over, I'll give you a vacation, you need a good rest."

"But before that," Green's words changed, he looked at Hugh, his lips almost pursed into a line: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Hugh was sweating profusely from Green's gaze. The alcohol he drank just now couldn't numb his fear of Green. He stammered, "Of course not."

After the first lie was uttered, the rest of the words went smoothly.Xio adjusted his expression, he thought of the huge sum of money he was promised, as long as he did one thing to be sorry to others, he could live quite comfortably for the rest of his life.

"If there is anything, I will definitely tell you. You must believe in my loyalty." For tomorrow's self!

Green nodded.

Hugh carefully watched Green's expression until he felt that Green didn't see anything, then he stood up, drank the rest of the wine, and said to Green, "Thank you for the whiskey, then I'll go back first."

His boss made a gesture of letting go, and he sat in his seat, watching his secretary go out.

After Xio walked out, I'm afraid he could only be his 'former secretary'.Green drank the cold coffee in his cup, which was like the feeling he had when he heard the news brought by Lawyer Wayne a few hours ago——

"Mr. Green, I have investigated Hugh's life. I must say that his resume is perfect, except for the recent period when he had too frequent contacts with Mr. Wren, the shareholder of your company."

Wayne went to the court first, and after he added Erica's name to the witness list, he returned to Green to report White's question.

Lawyers sometimes have to make a cameo as a private eye, and Wayne is particularly good at it.

White recently got a sum of money, which was sent out of Ryan's account.

He listed Hugh's account transactions in detail to ensure that Green could find out at a glance that Hugh was a traitor.

He and Green discussed how to present the case in court tomorrow.

Wayne set Hugh as a tainted witness and adjusted tomorrow's confession.

Green didn't want it to turn out that way, and Hugh, for whatever reason, saved his life on the boat anyway.

That's why he decided to give Xio a chance. As long as he confesses... the possibility of this is very small, and Xio did give up this opportunity.

Lawyer Wayne did not tell his client Erica's existence, which would be one of his secret weapons. Erica's presence was enough to make up for Hugh's absence, allowing Green to finally win the trial.

At night, Mrs. Dalton had to call the police when she failed to find Erica.

The wives are speculating behind their backs whether Erica's disappearance is related to Elizabeth.Everyone actually knows that the last girl Erica met was Elizabeth.Elizabeth also specifically asked others not to disturb her 'private conversation' with Erica.

But later, Mr. Carl Hockley personally picked up Elizabeth, which made many ladies who had something to say swallowed their own words.

It was the first time Mrs. Dalton watched the two most suspected people walk away, and she was so angry that she wanted to crush her handbag.She thought of her daughter and her upcoming wedding... Mrs. Dalton gritted her teeth and went to the police station to call the police.

This is a wonderful misunderstanding.Although Carl stood out for Elizabeth, he wasn't sure if his cousin really did something to Erica.

"That Erica must be playing tricks on us, she said to go to the bathroom, and then disappeared!" Elizabeth thought that she had taken the blame for so no reason, and decided that this was Erica's revenge on her.

This London woman is really willing to use her reputation as the price!

Carl gave his cousin a meaningful look.Elizabeth is very ambitious. If she is just a blind little white flower, she will not get help from Karl.

"As your cousin, I want to remind you that your baron is not a very sought-after role, so don't get your hands dirty because of him."

The black car of the Hockley family drove rapidly into the boundless night.

When dawn comes, some patterns will change.
