If you are familiar with the naming of law firms in the UK, most law firms are named after partners or founders. Take Alan Binghamton as an example, the two partners of the founding firm have one surname Alan and the other surname Binghamton. The reputation of a partner in this industry is the best advertisement for a law firm, and even if the partner is no longer practicing or retired, word of mouth will continue to be passed on from generation to generation, unless the partners' meeting changes the rules for a more prestigious lawyer.

The law firm founded by Lin Yilong is somewhat unusual in its naming method, and there are three people as general partners: Lin Yilong and two of Lin's classmates, Nils Thiel and Alex Gwent. The family names of these two people are the same as "Morgan", both taken from the place name, although there is no explicit restriction but the two people can be reminiscent of Newport (the capital of Gwent County) and Severn River (Tyre is a variant of Severn), so even if Lin Yilong does not take the case, Lin Yilong will have to hang it alone, but if it is the pinyin spelling can not convince the customer to hand over the commission to them, so Lin Yilong's Lin is made into the Welsh variant of Lynn (English means Xiaohe), and it becomes Lynn's.

Unlike other "high street" law firms and commercial law firms, the official mailing address given by this law firm is an email address, and the registered address is only a front desk, an office and a meeting room. Everyone, including Nils and Alex, generally practices from home unless necessary, handling client documents and various documentation needs.

Lin Yilong's rejection of Katie is not a lie, the lawyers who practice here are all his classmates and old friends - and all of them work from home, and there is indeed no position that Katie is qualified for, and the most important point is that because of Katie's black history with Lin Yilong, Lin Yilong can't believe her. However, letting his classmates be agents does not mean that Lin Yilong trusts his classmates more, but so that on some special occasions, the speeches or testimony of these classmates cannot be accepted as evidence- Just like the reason why Simpson hired his best friend Kardashian in the Simpson case: Simpson had been living in Kardashian's house for two weeks after the crime, and Kardashian could be said to know all kinds of details of Simpson, and once summoned by the prosecution, he would definitely be opened to testify against Simpson in court, and Simpson hired Kardashian as one of his lawyers at the suggestion of his resourceful lead lawyer, so that even if Kardashian was summoned by the prosecution, he could not testify against Simpson, and even if he did, it would not be admissible because this person himself violated the principle of loyalty of his clientLack of integrity is certainly not enough to be accepted.

Katie is only on Lin Yilong's own watch list, and her trust is not only far less than that of the Yeon sisters, but also less than all the old stories of his law firm, and Lin Yilong is naturally reluctant to let her join. Katie couldn't even enter Lin Yilong's Bracken Tree Farm - this punishment was something Katie had to accept, no matter how wronged she was, she could only accept it silently.

Feeling aggrieved, there are also the Yeon sisters.

Maybe Nadia and Vera can't stop Lin Yilong from accepting Katie, and correspondingly, Lin Yilong can't stop the sisters from falling out with him. According to Nadia's previous private confession, she and her sister Vera could tolerate each other's existence under one roof at the limit, and they would never add another person to the forest farm house.

Lin Yilong also had to choose a new place for Katie to live.

Katie's biggest advantage to Sister Yeon is that she has been in the workplace for two years, is already familiar with business negotiations and business practices, and can act as Lin Yilong's agent on many occasions. With Katie coming forward, many people should be able to deduce what is going on. Even if it is for such business convenience, even if Katie can't be arranged to live with him, Lin Yilong should settle her well.

The place chosen for Katie is one of the beachfront townhouses in Bonas, South Glamorganshire, with a view of Devon from the living room balcony and bedroom balcony horizon.

After negotiating with the Americans, Katie was dragged by Lin Yilong to the beach in Bonas, entered the furnished house, looked at the sea dyed red by the sunset, and regained the romance she had with Lin Yilong in the suite of the Grand Hotel in Bournemouth.

"From now on, you'll live here. Seeing Katie's affectionate eyes, Lin Yilong said, "I will come to see you from time to time." ”

"Got it. Katie didn't take it personally, "Can you stay with me tonight?"

"That's fine, but you're going to tell me everything, including why you broke off our contact. Lin Yilong was very curious about Katie's decision to break off the contact between the two.

"We're still ......," Katie paused shyly

"You go take a shower first, and I'll prepare dinner." Lin Yilong naturally understood what Katie was referring to, took the key, and went out.

Katie entered the bathroom, showered in the shower, and muttered, "There's no room for me outside." ”

Half an hour later, Katie carefully dried herself and went downstairs wrapped in a bath towel.

Lin Yilong sat on the sofa, looking into the distance, thinking deeply.

Katie stepped forward, and the bath towel wrapped around her body naturally fell on the carpet and sat in Lin Yilong's arms.

Lin Yilong naturally began to follow the curve of Katie's curvature.

"Let's talk about it, since last year. Lin Yilong said.

"It all started when I visited my family in the summer, when my parents thought our relationship was a little wrong. Katie began to narrate, "They began to wonder if I was engaged in some improper profession.

"My parents had to go to church every morning and told Tom about it, and I didn't notice him being mean before, and I accidentally mentioned our relationship in a conversation with him. He told my parents about it.

"When my parents found out, they persuaded me and threatened to cut off my parental rights. But I still need to pay back the money if I want to cut off the relationship with you, and my parents can't come up with so much money for a while. That's when Tom shows up and says he can help me get rid of you. I didn't know enough about him, and I was not firm for a while, so I agreed.

"So, my parents scraped together 150,000 pounds and 400,000 pounds from Tom to help me 'redeem myself', and then I converted the 550,000 pounds into a cashier's note and returned it to you. Lin Yilong could sense that some details had been missed between Katie's words, but the synopsis he wanted to know had already been clarified.

"Then why did you refuse Tom?" Lin Yilong asked, "because you don't know everything like I do, and if I had been in your position at the time, maybe I would have promised it by myself." What a noble act. ”

"I don't know why, I don't have an emotional impulse for him. "Perhaps, as you said, I was already aware of his abnormality when I was mired in debt, and I didn't want to get back together with him anyway, even if he called a few times, I didn't let go." ”

"And now?" Lin Yilong asked meaningfully.

"I'm paying my debts now for my previous stupidity. Katie turned around and looked into Lin Yilong's eyes, "Maybe it's just to escape from myself, I admit it's cowardly, running away is shameful but useful." ”

"Hmm? There are two things I don't understand. Lin Yilong tried to avoid Katie's gaze and said, "Since you don't want to continue to contact me, why do you stupidly ask me to go to the barbecue restaurant? ”

"I was going to forget about you since we separated, but since I saw your Cwmdonkin Capital when I took over the case two weeks ago, I immediately felt that it was you. At the very least, I want to be able to beat you at least once and prove myself. Katie turned her head embarrassedly, "As a result, the defeat was even worse." Maybe I was expecting failure to play with fire when I decided to ask you out, but I don't understand what kind of logic it is. ”

"Dear kitten, you're tethered here. Lin Yilong touched the collar that was the only decoration on Katie's body, "Last question, who are you now, and what do you think of me?"

"There is no going back to the old life. Looking through the blinds at the looming Devonshire coastline, "I'll be completely obedient in the future, my master." ”

This title made Lin Yilong's heart flutter and pressed Katie under him.
