Chapter 19: Beyond Salted Fish

After the appearance of the demon thief, or even earlier, the people associated with Andrew more or less kept their original lives and broke away from their original lives.

Matt continued his chivalrous march in the evening; After Jessica became famous, she began to enter Broadway with a new attitude and set foot on the road to stardom; Harry was nowhere to be found, and only explained on the phone that he had fallen out with his father and that the subhuman cells had been left in the lab; Peter took a few days off work under the pretext that he was being argued with by reporters and couldn't study, and he didn't know what he was doing, but given his grades in escorting him to Imperial State University, and his recent status as a friend of Harry the Thief, the school turned a blind eye.

As a result, only Andrew's life seems to have changed back to the way it was, and for more than a week, he lived his school life like a salted fish with nothing to do. And judging by his schooling method, he is still the saltiest fish in the school.

On the other hand, as Andrew lamented, everyone's lives are changing, at least now Matt's office has gone from having nothing to do all day to night, to having countless clients every day.

Penny is one of the customers, or one of the future customers.

Standing on the street, looking at the crowd of people coming and going and walking briskly, Penny felt a little dazed. Just as she was about to get up, the man who had wronged her bumped into her, causing her to stagger on her feet.

Penny is a clerical employee of a publicly traded conglomerate, and although it sounds like a little useless, it is actually a very good job in this stressful New York City.

But now she is not as a white-collar beauty as she was a few days ago. Just like in the daily soap opera, she experienced a low point in her life: not only did her husband come out, but her job was also lost because of a big mistake by herself.

In fact, this situation is not enough to make Penny lose her soul. To add insult to injury, her husband not only cheated, but also secretly put a second mortgage on the house and used the money to invest. The investment failed as a matter of course, and then a large amount of debt was incurred.

According to the current situation, even if you divorce your husband, you will be burdened with a large amount of debt. This will drive her to a dead end! So she had no choice but to go to the law firm for help.

Losing her job and potentially indebted, Penny chose Nexon & Murdoch, a law firm she had heard was very helpful.

"It only takes a small amount of money, or even a gift, and the lawyers here will help you. More serious than public service lawyers sent by the government or the community. These are Penny's hearsay words.

Walking into the office, the charming and sunny secretary, Miss Karen, after asking her basic information, arranged for her to sit aside and wait, and enthusiastically gave her a cup of hot tea. She was somewhat flattered by this, as she indicated at the outset that her financial means were limited and that she might not be able to pay too much for a lawyer.

The time Petunia waited outside felt like a long time. She herself knew that she was too stressed. But she couldn't control herself from thinking about it. What will life be like in the future after you are in debt and lose your job?

Thinking like this, it was her turn.

I was called to the small room next door, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a man in sunglasses in a suit and leather shoes sitting across the table. The man looks full of sunshine and gentleness, but he has a heroic spirit, which is a bit solemn and has the temperament of a barrister.

"Hello, am I, Matt Murdoch, please be seated." Matt opened gently.

"Hello, I'm Penny Sarah." Penny sat down and began to narrate herself.

didn't interject, quietly listening to Penny's narration, did she still learn something in Ben. After he finished speaking, Matt spoke: "I already know the specific situation." We will do our best to help you, and it is best if you can find and provide evidence of your husband's infidelity in marriage before he re-mortgaged the property. In this way, we can be 100% sure of winning the lawsuit. ”

"I try." It's not a good feeling to be betrayed by someone you're going to spend your life with, and to collect evidence. But in order to live, Penny can only bury this pain in her heart.

“…… Ms. Sarah. Matt spoke again: "I know you're in pain right now. But you have to pick yourself up. At this he seemed to think of something, and then fumbled around, tried a piece of paper from his notebook, and wrote a list of addresses on it.

"If you have time, you can go to this address, which is a clubhouse and does not need to spend too much money to relax your mind. It works very well. It's going to put you at ease. ”

Although Penny is now unemployed and not in a hurry, she is still a little hesitant after hearing Matt. After all, no matter how you look at it, it seems to deceive people to consume.

Although he couldn't see it, Penny's silence made him know her hesitation. Matt didn't care. Continuing in his hearty, magnetic voice, "I'm just giving a suggestion, trust me, that's good. Of course, the decision is yours. ”

"Alright, then Lady Sarah, you can go back and prepare your things."

After he said this, he smiled kindly, and did not continue to persuade, but got up and walked away, and went outside to tell Karen that he could arrange the next client.

People are like this, the more they don't care, the more they care. Matt's unobtrusive attitude only intrigued Penny. Nickerson & Murdoch is very famous among the people at the bottom of Hell's Kitchen. So Penny was happy to check it out.

Walking out of the office and following the address on the paper to find a place, Penny looked at the clubhouse and frowned.

Because the building in front of me doesn't look like a clubhouse at all, but more like a normal residential building.

This mid-rise building is located in the Midtown Manhattan Times Square neighborhood. In terms of land price, it seems that every inch of land is expensive, which has to make Penny a little suspicious of how much money the lawyer said 'don't need to spend too much'.

After all, take a look at the building's surroundings, with Broadway theaters, upscale restaurants, and malls...... All kinds of things that only the upper class people go back to enjoy are harmoniously gathered, and the whole area gives Penny the feeling of one word: expensive!

"Huh......" took a deep breath, and then exhaled, they have already come here, and it is a bit of a loss if they don't go in and take a look.

'If it's really expensive, say ......no,' thought Penny walked up the steps, then pushed the door open and walked into the residential building.
