Chapter 445, Annie
Anne Aldington arrived at the office, a little late today because she had gone to Brooklyn in the morning.
The scene she encountered was somewhat similar to that of Brooklyn, with familiar colleagues coming up to congratulate her, and unfamiliar people getting together, pointing and whispering to her.
Anne Aldington, on the other hand, accepted the congratulations calmly, and did not react unusually.
This was a bit of a surprise to my colleagues. If it weren't for the fact that the newspaper published photos of the scene and confirmed that Anne accepted the proposal, they would have thought they had encountered fake news.
Anne Aldington put her bag at her workstation, went to the bathroom, wiped off the water on her hands, and went back to work as usual.
For her marriage to Brooklyn, Anne Aldington has a very good view. At the beginning, she did like Brooklyn a little bit as a fair judge, the three views of the two were very compatible, and Brooklyn had an exotic face, which really made her a little excited.
But that's about it. Brooklyn offered her a date, and she agreed. There is no special reason, just because she has never talked about a boyfriend, she wants to try, and it just happens that there is another person of the opposite sex who can see it and has the right three views.
After a few dates, although Brooklyn's gentlemanly behavior made Anne feel reassured, she couldn't help but grunt.
Why didn't Brooklyn ever ask for anything further? Is it that you are not attractive to him?
Could it be that his appearance and figure are unattractive? But Anne didn't dwell on it for long.
She is a sensible and mature woman, not an idiot who is full of love. Last weekend, when she heard that Mark Meere was coming to New York, she was a little disgusted.
Her instincts told her that Mark Mee had come to New York not just for the recent events in New York, but also for her.
It was also at this time that Anne began to think seriously about her relationship with Brooklyn. Behind Brooklyn is the Harvard faction, a faction that has a very large voice in the judicial system, and as far as she knows, Brooklyn is likely to go one step further and become the speaker of the Harvard faction.
It's also a great benefit to her career. She began to put aside the influence of Mark Millay, and for the first time did not think about personal affairs, but thought about the issue from the perspective of pros and cons.
She found that, first of all, she didn't hate Brooklyn, and even liked it a little. And then the two of them have three views together, for now, being friends is the kind of person who can be a confidant, and Brooklyn can bring benefits to his career.
Finally, and most importantly, she couldn't find a better person of the opposite sex or the same sex than Brooklyn for the time being.
Anne Aldington considered everything she knew, knew of the opposite sex or the same sex, and found that those who were stronger than Brooklyn were either inferior to the Brooklyn gentleman or not as loyal as Brooklyn, and not as good as him than the Brooklyn gentleman or loyalty.
For now, Brooklyn is a potential stock, and their combination is a boon for both parties.
Brooklyn can help her, and she can help Brooklyn. Anne Aldington suddenly found that Brooklyn was the best option if she wanted to start a family on her own.
Thinking about this, Anne Aldington suddenly became enlightened. She doesn't even bother with what Mark Milley did in his childhood anymore.
It's not to forgive Mark Milai, it's just that there is no point in continuing to dwell on it, and it only adds to the troubles. Anne Aldington was clearly aware that once she was united with Brooklyn, Brooklyn would inevitably cooperate with Mark Milley.
When the time comes, I will be in the middle, and I can't destroy it, and I will be unwilling to watch it, so I can only ask for trouble.
Why bother? Especially when she heard Ray talk to Brooklyn at her Brooklyn house over the weekend, Anne Aldington not only didn't feel frustrated or angry, she was even a little glad.
I'm glad I wasn't alone. It turns out that Brooklyn thinks so too. So, after expressing her unhappiness in moderation, Anne quickly assumed that the conversation didn't exist, hinted at Brooklyn's proposal, and agreed without hesitation.
Anne does not expect the two to be sweet and happy after marriage, and loves each other wholeheartedly as in the movie.
She only hopes that both parties will be loyal to each other and their families, and even if they don't love each other, they can maintain their current confidant relationship and talk about everything, which is enough.
How can there be so many deaths and lives in life to say goodbye to life and death? How can there be so many pairs of Jesse and Celina?
[Note 1] A year ago, Anne Aldington was a female prosecutor full of a sense of justice and fantasy about the future, she was a little naïve and had endless imaginations about life.
A year later, and especially after a lot of work recently, Anne Aldington fully saw what reality was, what the life of a rich man was, and what politics was, and she stopped fantasizing about it, but began to think about something more practical.
At this time, Anne Aldington had a striking resemblance to a middle-aged female lawyer in Chicago's Cook County.
Anne Aldington checked a few eucalyptus in her hand, and after making sure that everything was in order, she took out a folder from her bag, hesitated for a moment, and got up and knocked on the door of Chandler Kane's office.
Hearing the 'please come in' sound, Anne Aldington walked into the office, placed the folder on the table, and said
"Chandler, I want this eucalyptus." Chandler Kane wondered what kind of eucalyptus actually made Anne take the initiative to ask for it, and when she picked it up, it turned out to be the eucalyptus that attacked Anne in Brooklyn over the weekend.
This folder was the one she had in her hand yesterday before she left the NYPD. Since the disposition of Pence Norton had been handed over to Mark Milley by Brooklyn, and Mark Milley had to borrow the FBI from John Manning because the military had no law enforcement powers, the warning had actually gone to the FBI.
The NYPD is happy to share the pressure, and naturally has no problem with this, and the only resistance they have after the street FBI phone call is 'I need to see the paper letter', and then a minute later the paper letter is spit out of the fax machine, and the NYPD just seals the file and ignores the attack.
Chandler Kane didn't want to pay much attention to it, because this time the FBI showed a very rare toughness, they no longer seem to be the group of guys who can only chase the injured beast and bite, the ownership of the eucalyptus that Anne took is very clear, he doesn't want to go head-to-head with the FBI and make extraneous branches.
But Anne Aldington is Brooklyn Lee's fiancée, and Brooklyn Lee is likely to become the future New York Big Three with Frank and Winston, and Chandler Kane also dare not mess with Brooklyn.
Even in detail, the cross-industry FBI is not as threatening as the industry's Brooklyn.
So, after a brief trade-off, Chandler called the FBI directly. The FBI is now in command with Mark Meelai, so naturally they will not look down on Chandler Kane, and they are even planning to hang up the phone directly.
After all, they are not affiliated with the same system at all, and they have no jurisdiction over each other. Fortunately, Chandler Kane's words revealed that it was Anne Aldington's prosecutor who applied for a personal investigation.
This time, the person on the other side was silent for a while, said a little wait, and hung up the phone. Five minutes later, the FBI called and asked Chandler Kane to tell Anne to call the general.
Anne returned to her workstation and looked at the folder in her hand for a moment, then dialed the number on the note on her phone.
The call was quickly connected.
"Haha! Annie! Mark Milai's voice came from the earpiece. Anne Aldington said after a moment of silence
"I'm going to deal with this eucalyptus myself, please let the FBI agents cooperate with me." She wondered why Mark Meaille had anything to do with the F.B.I., but she didn't ask.
"I heard you're going to have a wedding with that bastard?" Mark Milai asked
"Is this too rushed?" Anne Aldington remained silent.
"Did he bully you?" Mark Milai continued to ask
"What is on a man's mind, Daddy knows better than you, Annie, you have to pay attention to protect yourself. That kid doesn't look like a good guy. The one with fine skin and tender flesh is a little white face. Anne Aldington remained silent.
"Have you really decided? Want to marry a little white face? Are you sure? Don't you need Dad to look into him? Mark Millay's barrage of questions kept popping out of his mouth.
Anne finally couldn't help it anymore and said mockingly
"Didn't you say you came to New York to negotiate our wedding date?" Mark Milai argued
"Although I think so, but when it comes to this day, I am very reluctant to you." Anne Aldington was overwhelmed by Mark Mee's cheekiness and ability to tell nonsense with her eyes open, and Mark Meeille opened her eyes when she first set foot in this field.
"I'll ask someone to go back and pick up the wedding dress your mom wore, you'll like it." Mark Mie said.
This time Anne Aldington didn't refute, hesitated, and said 'um'.
"Okay, you want to investigate this eucalyptus yourself, right, what are you going to do?" Mark Millay suddenly took it upon himself to get the conversation back on track.
"A large number of bullet casings were left at the scene, and the firearm was queried according to the bullet information, and the buyer was found, and the neighborhood where Brooklyn lived happened to have a surveillance position near the road, which could capture vehicle information. Check the ownership of the vehicle through the surveillance video. Mark Meille patiently listened to Anne Aldington's plan of investigation before he spoke
"But you can only catch the person who does it, and you can't catch the person who directs them to do it."
"They're in the FBI's interrogation room right now, and they're being interrogated, well, interrogation. According to the confession, they took money from Bruce Carl to warn you. Bruce Carr's dealings with them were in cash, which came from one of Bruce Carr's assistants. It has nothing to do with Bruce Carr. ”
"What are you going to do?" Mark Milai asked. Anne Aldington's brain raced, and she thought of a dozen similar eucalyptus pieces in a row, but never found a solution.
She realized that, according to the normal process, Bruce Carr should have been released due to insufficient evidence. As if to be able to see Anne's thoughts, Mark Milai spoke out just right
"They're going to catch Bruce Carr, and of course, there's a trip to E. Carl. Y has an arrest warrant, are you going to go and have a look? ”………… At noon, the group of courtroom No. 9 was having dinner at a Mexican restaurant, when three black commercial vehicles suddenly came outside, the car stopped outside the Mexican restaurant, the door opened, and two heavily armed members of the operation team jumped out, and the two team members waited in place for a while, and saw another car stopped, and a woman got down from above.
"Hello Prosecutor Anne Aldington." The members of the operation team stepped forward to say hello, followed Anne into the dining room, and went straight to the Brooklyn table.
If the Mexican restaurant was just an ordinary restaurant, it would have been a mess when it saw this battle. But the Mexican restaurant is not an ordinary restaurant, and the people who dine in it are not only lawyers but judges.
Therefore, after just looking at it curiously, people turned their heads and went on talking. They even kindly showed them the way after seeing Anne.
"Hi Annie!" Nelly greets Anne while Brooklyn looks through the warrant. After confirming that everything is correct, sign it and return it to the action team.
Brooklyn was about to invite Anne to sit down for dinner, but found that Anne had already nodded at him and turned to follow the operation team.
"Wait." Brooklyn stopped, got up, and dragged Anne to the bathroom.
"You're going to follow them, too?" Brooklyn asked. Anne nodded
"I took the initiative to apply and take over this eucalyptus." Brooklyn looked at Anne and stopped talking. Since the FBI people asked Anne to follow, it means that Anne's action was approved by Mark Meere.
In this case, even if Anne is injured or even killed in action, it has nothing to do with Brooklyn. But something called 'possessiveness' is at work, and Brooklyn is unhappy with Mark Milley's tacit approval.
But then he realized it.
"Go ahead, it's good for you," Brooklyn didn't stop, but admonished
"But you have to be safe, I'm still waiting to discuss the wedding date with you." Anne stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Brooklyn on the cheek.
Brooklyn held Anne's cheek and kissed her lightly on the lips. After parting, he continued
"Just follow them and watch, no, um, rush to the front, um, go." Anne smiled narrowly, and pressed her hand lightly on Brooklyn's chest as she spoke.
She was also a little short of breath. But both were restrained and did not continue. Anne tidied up her clothes a little, kissed them a few times like a dragonfly, and said
"I have to go, this is my first time working with the FBI, I can't let them wait for me." Brooklyn watched Anne leave, looked down, and scratched her head a little anxiously.
He turned on the faucet, gently slapped the cold water on his face, and quickly woke up from his lust. He pulled out a tissue to dry the water from his hands, and thought thoughtfully about what Anne had just said......
