Chapter 228: Conspiracy

Chris's mood at the moment is beyond words, he really feels that he is the happiest man in the world at the moment. People in the world say that it is difficult to recover the water, and how many people are really lucky enough to be reunited? Chris felt as if he was in the clouds, and the happiness came so suddenly that he felt a little unreal. For a moment, he was really afraid that Yue'er would say something he didn't dare to hear, so his whole heart rose to his throat, and now his emotions were a little difficult to calm down for a while, but he was really happy.

Chris got out of the car excitedly, walked to the passenger seat, picked up Yue'er, and took her upstairs directly. Along the way, Yue'er shyly grabbed his neck, buried her head in his broad shoulders, and her heart beat faster for the true confession she had just made. But she really couldn't resist, those complaints about him had long been resolved by the intimacy between the two, maybe she never really hated, because she understood Chris's choice very well from beginning to end. Changing places, maybe she will make the same choice.

Because she understands, she has never really blamed, the only thing that makes her worry is that he didn't come to her after he came back, and now it seems that there must be unspeakable hardship, the affection in his eyes can't deceive her, his love is so sincere and warm, these months have been strongly felt. Thinking of this, she felt that she should be relieved.

Just in the car, only half of the words were spoken. She hadn't figured out what to say to Leon yet, so she hoped that Chris wouldn't meet with Leon or say anything hurtful to him until then.

Chris carried Yue'er all the way to the cloakroom, sat Yue'er on the central island, and couldn't wait to take out the dress he had chosen from the closet.

A black backless high-slit dress was carefully held in his hand.

"I'll try it on for you." After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but change Yue'er's clothes, this dress skirt is very graceful and luxurious, the cut of the open back and the draped texture reveal Yue'er's advantages just right, and the design of the high slit also highlights her slender legs more sexy and enchanting. The design of the neck is also very chic, the chest and part of the oblique downward wrapping design appear fuller on the upper circumference, with a pair of stiletto heels, the moon in front of you is like a fairy descending to earth, there is no need for any jewelry to set off, she is already so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it. Chris reached out and gently stroked her flat lower abdomen, exhaled hot air in her ear, and asked with some eagerness, "Is it almost over?" Tomorrow night, is that okay? ”

Yue'er naturally understood his invitation and nodded silently...... For the two people in front of them, tomorrow night's celebration banquet is no longer as simple as celebrating Yue'er winning a lawsuit.

The next day, Yue'er walked into the office early in the morning and received everyone's applause, which was indeed a great victory, and as Nate said, everyone was proud of her.

The evening celebration was also booked at The Peninsula New York on Fifth Avenue, and the thought of truly uniting with Chris tonight made Yue'er as shy as a ripe tomato, for fear that others would see something wrong, and she covered her face even in the office......

When it was almost noon, she received a call from Chris, and Yue'er was still immersed in excitement and anticipation, like a little girl who was just starting to fall in love and was looking forward to hearing the voice of the person she loved.

"What time are you coming to pick me up in the afternoon?" Yue'er's voice couldn't hide her anticipation, and it wasn't just the celebration banquet with her as the protagonist tonight......

"I'm sorry, I called to tell you that I can't accompany you to the celebration tonight. Suddenly, I was told that I had to go to D.C., where President Wilson was going to meet with officers who had previously performed well in counterterrorism operations and to present them with the Medal of Honor. I was only notified at short notice, and they thought I would not be able to return from Switzerland in time, so they did not inform me in advance. We'll have to leave in a moment. I'm really sorry I can't accompany you to the celebration banquet, but as soon as the award ceremony is over, I will rush back immediately, you wait for me, okay? ”

In fact, Yue'er could hear his apologies and regrets from Chris's tone, of course, the award ceremony was more important than the celebration banquet, but Chris really didn't care about the medal at all, but he had to participate, this was not only his own business, but also the honor of all members of their SEAL Team 6. Thinking of his comrades who died in Libya, he had to take their place to receive this belated honor.

Yue'er naturally has some regrets, but she can understand it, thinking that Chris won't come tonight, she doesn't have to be so nervous in a sense, and now she can enjoy the celebration banquet, she hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, her career is proud, and her love is going well, Yue'er feels that she is the happiest person in the world at the moment.

After work, she changed into her dress and hitchhiked Nate's ride to The Peninsula. Nate's eyes lit up the moment he saw her.

He knew Yue'er's beauty, but he didn't know that she could be so beautiful, and her beauty didn't need too many external decorations, she was so natural.

"If only I liked women~" Nate sighed as he drove.

"You'd better stop harming women." Yue'er quipped.

In addition to their own people, Nate invited many of his legal colleagues in New York and New Jersey, law school professors, and well-connected media outlets. Because Yue'er announced in court that she would sue three media outlets, several mainstream media who had paid attention to the case before were very nervous.

Now that the case has been decided, those preconceived reports will definitely be sued if they are sued, not to mention that the lawyer who sued is still Lu Yueer, you can imagine how much the media will have to pay. Therefore, these acquaintance media are reporting on Yue'er's great achievements at great length, trying to advertise their law firm through this kind of exposure, so as to dispel her idea of filing a lawsuit, at least don't sue their own media.

Many peers have also stepped forward to say goodbye, no one was willing to take this case at the beginning, it is a veritable hot potato, because everyone is really afraid of the violence of public opinion, which will cause irreversible damage to their reputation.

Now seeing Yue'er's ability to turn the tide, everyone has no jealousy except for sincere admiration and envy. If this matter is changed to someone else, it may not be able to have such a result, so there is really nothing to be dissatisfied with. Once again, not many people have the courage to take it, let alone defend their innocence!

Yue'er held a glass of champagne in her hand, and greeted the congratulations of all her friends, and because she was really happy, she drank a lot of wine all night. However, Yue'er is always sober, she knows her alcohol consumption very well, so she will never do anything beyond her ability.

But what she didn't expect was that behind her, that vicious gaze shot at her again.

Seeing that the banquet was coming to an end, Yue'er and Nate, as the hosts of the banquet, said goodbye to everyone one after another, the figure took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly placed an unknown white pill in a wine glass, only to see that the pill quickly decomposed when it encountered liquid, and then disappeared invisible.

Then the figure changed into a waiter, and generously bypassed the crowd and went straight to Yue'er. The drugged wine glass was deliberately sent to Yue'er like that, and was held in her hand by Yue'er who didn't know it, and there were not many guests left, she politely toasted to these people, not daring to drink more, just sipping it.

The vicious sight in the corner suddenly flashed a glimmer of light in her eyes, and her eyes were full of pride when she saw that Yue'er had been tricked. This hateful woman actually dared to defend the innocence of that ****** crime, and said such righteous words, isn't it just for a few stinky money in the final analysis? These lawyers, all of whom are sanctimonious, are actually full of bad water, especially this Lu Yue'er, who is a woman, and is not on the side of her compatriots, helping those stinky men to bully women, thinking of this, Michelle is resentful.

She is a very radical member of a feminist organization, and this victory for Yue'er is an intolerable insult to her, and she almost wants to tear Yue'er to shreds. Before, she also warned Julian not to tell the truth, so that the man could be punished by the law, but Yue'er keenly discovered Julian's breakthrough and turned the whole case in one fell swoop, Michelle was so angry that she was about to explode.

Well, since you're going to help those stinky men, and since you're going to overturn the case for those ****** criminals, then let yourself taste it. Michelle's face became more and more distorted with hatred, and she poured a colorless and odorless Ecstasy in Yue'er's wine glass, which is currently the most high-end drug in American bars, and the victim will slowly dry up and burn with lust for half an hour to an hour, and at the same time produce various hallucinations.

Michelle also arranged for three thugs to take Yue'er away for a while, she must take revenge on Yue'er and let her know that she is aiding and abusing, this is her due retribution.
