"I have, but there's a car parked right now." Yue'er didn't hide it at all, "It's Leon's, he stopped here when he left." ”

Chris didn't say anything, and helped Yue'er unbuckle her seat belt, "Okay, then you go up first, I'll find a place to park for a while and come back." ”

His word "back" is said very naturally, as if they were really a newlywed couple.

Yue'er silently got out of the car and received a call from Nate as soon as she got home.

"I just read your previous email, are you serious?" Nate's tone was very serious, it was supposed to be the weekend, he didn't want to work, but after all, he was alone, and he opened his mailbox when he was idle. As a result, I saw the email sent by Yue'er before getting off work on Friday.

The sexual assault case of a college student has come to an end, and the court should have a result next week. This case has attracted a lot of social attention, and relevant social groups are also very concerned about the direction of the case, Nate also had a lot of concerns at the beginning, and selfishly speaking, he didn't want Yue'er to take this case.

With this energy, it is not difficult for an elite lawyer like them to take on the merger cases of several large companies at random, and the commission is generous.

——The dividing line of knowledge——

In the United States, the annual salary of a lawyer gradually increases depending on how long he has been in the profession. A lawyer's income mainly depends on three major areas: lawyer salary, lawyer consulting fee, lawyer bonus, and for lawyers at the partner level, of course, law firm dividends.

According to public data, the top 10 law firms in the United States, without exception, all entered the $180,000 annual salary club.

Before the 2008 financial crisis, a lawyer's annual bonus of 100% was equal to the corresponding annual salary, and after the financial crisis, it has remained above 50% so far. The bonus at this level should be 2-3 times the annual salary, and may even be higher.

Coupled with the high consulting fees corresponding to top law firms (all charged by the hour), many consulting fees for enterprises are thousands of dollars per hour, and many industry leaders will also be hired as visiting professors by major law schools, and they only need to take time to take one course each semester to receive the salary of law school professors, which is quite generous, and schools like the University of Michigan in the middle and late stages of T14 can also open nearly 200,000 a year.

This is not to mention the dividends of partners, as well as the commissions of some large cross-border mergers. Previously, Yue'er was very sorry for the small couple who violated the rules of the industry to disclose that the company merged to buy stocks, and finally the girl was revoked from her lawyer's license, because the merger amount was huge, and they got a commission of nearly 2 points.

——The dividing line of knowledge——

Nate didn't stop her because he knew Yue'er's character, she liked challenges, and she wasn't afraid of power. For example, the pressure from social groups, especially feminist organizations, in this case, he knew that Yue'er was not afraid.

Of course, he also knows her strength, if she is out of the horse, the boy should be able to reduce his sentence to the greatest extent, although his life is already destined to be stained.

So when he saw the email sent by Yue'er on Friday, the whole person was shocked. Yue'er wrote clearly in the email that she not only wanted to help the boy with the lawsuit, but also what she intended to do was to defend her innocence.

Regardless of the final outcome of this case, her intention to defend her innocence will anger those social groups. In their eyes, the boy was already convicted. Any lawyer who tries to defend him is evil. What's more, Yue'er has to risk the world's condemnation to defend her innocence.

While Nate believes in her strength, it's too hard. If you are not careful, you will become the target of attacks by those social groups, and cyberbullying has not happened in their industry, and Nate is really terrified after reading the email.

"Of course I'm serious, we've known each other for so long, when have I not been serious." Yue'er Yun replied lightly, she took out two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, opened one by herself, and played with it in her hand.

"Have you figured it out?" Nate asked reluctantly, he understood the stakes, and Yue'er also understood. So he doesn't need to go through those details again, and of course, this question is a bit redundant. It's very clear in the email.

"Well, I figured it out." As soon as Yue'er finished speaking, Chris walked in, and Yue'er left the door for him. However, I was still surprised that he parked the car so quickly, and the parking lot in this neighborhood was full even on weekends...

Yue'er pointed to the mineral water on the table and continued to answer Nate's question.

"It doesn't matter who I believe in this matter, what matters is that I am a lawyer and I have an obligation to fight for the best interests of my clients. I've talked to my client's family and they're willing to give it a go. This matter is about the child's life, so I must defend his innocence. Yue'er's categorical decision didn't surprise Nate.

"Alright then, if there's anything you need my help with, just say it. These are extraordinary times, do you want me to help you find a personal bodyguard? I was always worried that the radical groups would do something radical. "Nate's concerns are definitely justified.

"No, I've found someone to protect me." Yue'er's eyes drifted to Chris, the two looked at each other, Chris was obviously very satisfied with her answer, he unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured a mouthful of ice water, the sexy Adam's apple made Yue'er dare not look directly at all, why is every part of this man's body so tempting, this is too foul...

"Alright then, you have to be careful when you go out lately." Nate was still worried, but he couldn't change the stubborn Yue'er, and after all these years, she still stood by her beliefs and served the justice of the law rather than money or power.

Nate knew she must have something on her mind, and she couldn't interfere.

Yue'er hung up the phone, and Chris got up and sat down beside her.

"Show me around." This was the first time he had walked into Yue'er's home, and he was full of curiosity about everything here.

"I'm just a tiny apartment, no better than your mansion. Nothing to visit. "Apartments on the Upper East Side are expensive, and Yue'er is indeed a high-income group, but in the end, it is a person to live, and a house that is too big is really not suitable, so there is nothing wrong with being a small sparrow.

"Yue'er, don't lawyers rarely say the wrong thing?" After Chris finished speaking, he kissed her on the lips punishingly, and at the end he bit her lower lip gently, "If you say the wrong thing in the future, I will punish you like this." Chris was overjoyed that he had found such a justifiable reason to steal incense.

"Remember, it's our shared home, not mine." He always stressed this.

Yue'er was kissed so much that her face was red and her heart was beating, and her legs were almost weak, which may also be related to last night's passion. Chris quickly grabbed her, "Are your legs still sore?" I'm sorry, didn't I push too hard last night...", this is said ambiguously, it's nothing, but he says it like something... It's not right, it's not really nothing...

He stopped and hugged Yue'er, "Which bedroom is it?" "The apartment was not big, just two rooms, one on the left and one on the right. Yue'er pointed to the left, but suddenly her body stiffened, and it was too late to stop her, Chris had already pushed open the door and hugged her in.

Directly opposite the door is the bed, and her room, just like her character, is clean and neat, without any superfluous decorations, so it can be regarded as an unobstructed view.

Chris's eyes were firmly locked on the picture frame on the bedside table, and he carefully placed Yue'er on the side of the bed, picked up the picture frame, and said nothing.

The air seemed to be frozen, Yue'er felt a little embarrassed, it was strange that he didn't speak like this.

"I've always put this photo at the head of the bed, I'm used to it, so I haven't changed it, you know, I'm not used to changing it..."Yue'er felt that her explanation was not clever, but she had to say something to be less embarrassing...

The photo on the bedside is a photo of her celebrating her birthday together not long after she got her black belt and officially dated Chris. In the photo, Yue'er is making a wish with her eyes closed, Chris watching her from the side, and kissing her forehead at the moment of blowing out the candle, this scene was captured, very beautiful. In the past, at home in Boston, Yue'er put this photo on the bedside.

But Chris really didn't expect that after so many years, this photo is still there, and it is still placed at the head of her bed after Yue'er.

"Yue'er, my Yue'er..."Chris couldn't suppress the warmth in his heart, he hugged Yue'er tightly, as if he wanted to integrate her with himself...

"Tell me, you've always loved me, haven't you? You're like me, and you've never forgotten each other for so many years, haven't you? Chris was desperate for answers, and even though he had promised to give her time, he couldn't wait a second.

"Yue'er, I love you, I only love you, there will never be a second person in my heart in this life, promise me, you don't want anyone else in your heart, okay? It's just me, okay? Chris's confession was both affectionate and full of forbearance and pain, and when he heard Leon's car parked here downstairs, the vinegar jar in his heart instantly overturned.

Obviously it was just a car parked, but Chris felt very unhappy, everything in Yue'er belonged to him, he admitted that his love was very domineering, but Leon was too threatening, he really didn't have full certainty.

However, seeing this photo, his heart ignited a fire of love again, he and Leon have never been the same starting line, many years ago, he has lived in Yue'er's heart, and it seems that he has never come out.

Therefore, Yue'er must belong to him in the end.

"Yue'er, marry me, we get married, we have children. Let's never part again..."Chris kissed her sensitive earlobe passionately, awakening the desire in her heart again, and the two hugged each other tightly again, kissing inseparably...

Yue'er's bed was like her body, exuding a seductive fragrance, Chris felt that he was going crazy, he couldn't wait to possess her completely, but he kept his promise to each other, this kind of torture is simply not something mortals can bear...

"Yue'er, don't let me wait too long..."Yue'er under Chris's father kissed until she was already drenched in sweat, and then reluctantly left her delicate lips...

He wouldn't give her much time, he secretly decided - at most the next few days... In a few days, she will definitely become his woman completely...
