Two hours later, the jury ruled in favor of the plaintiff, Muriel Land, and the judge ruled that Charlie and Yvon needed to return the $2 million lottery prize.

After the judge announced her retirement from the courtroom, Yi Fang escaped from the courthouse with lightning speed, and even the reporters who were blocking the courthouse gate did not have time to stop her.

The unwilling reporters turned their heads and blocked Charlie, who couldn't catch up, at the entrance of the stairs, and in this chaotic chaos, only Hannah quietly followed the poor girl under Jack's reminder.

——

"By the Hudson? It's okay, stay safe. Jack hung up the phone, met Aunt Didee's concerned gaze, and hurriedly comforted.

"That girl is fine, Hannah is with her, and she is at the river pier at the moment."

At the moment, in addition to several old people, Wesley and the black journalist Duprey, there are also the plaintiff's lawyer, Harvey Spector and his assistant Mike Ross.

Several people gathered in the suite of the Plaza Hotel at this time, although Jack and Hannah rented not the top presidential suite, but the huge living room was still enough to accommodate so many people, and it would not seem cramped.

The two gold-suited lawyers looked a little embarrassed, Aunt Didi didn't give them any good looks just now, although in terms of essential work, they did a good job just now.

But if a woman is unreasonable, she is still an old lady with white hair, so even if she loses a few white eyes, they can only bear it.

It took almost an hour and a half for everyone to communicate Joe Masson's case almost completely, Harvey and Mike officially accepted the commission, and the bald Frank directly signed a check for $120,000 as legal fees.

Seeing that the business was done, Jack poured a glass of golden sherry for everyone and wished everyone success.

But Aunt Didi was a little sullen, obviously worried about the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and the reporter Duprey also looked at Jack without blinking, as if he was also asking if the little agreement between the two yesterday had not been made.

Jack first told everyone about what he and Hannah investigated yesterday, including what happened to him at "Coffee Shop Evon" in disguise, and what he saw and heard at the bar at night.

The two lawyers, who had just put away the check, looked at each other, and although Harvey's prosecution strategy in court was nothing more than a strategy, all in order to win the case, tomorrow's newspaper headlines could be predicted.

All kinds of words such as "money worshipper", "fraudster" and even "slut" will be detained on the heads of Charlie and Yvonne.

No matter how materialistic the city is, money is supreme, but the basic and simple morality still exists in the hearts of the general public.

When I thought of two good people with pure hearts as gold, because of their "aiding and abusive", they were splashed with dirty water, and since then they have become the object of abuse and fallen into the dust.

Even after rolling in Vanity Fair for many years, Harvey, who has long been well versed in the way of thick black, is also a little like a pin.

"Maybe we should do something about it. At least you can't just watch them go bankrupt, right? Mike looked at Harvey and whispered.

The latter, with some irritation, twisted his delicate hairstyle into a bird's nest, and then looked up at the ceiling without saying a word.

"Jack's disguise yesterday, I might be able to try it again." Journalist Dupri pondered for a long time and put forward his idea.

"I would disguise myself as a homeless man, visit the 'Yi Fang Coffee Shop', and then record what the two well-wishers did and publish a clarification report."

"I can fund them with some money in the name of a third party, and although I can't help Charlie and Yvon keep that coffee shop, at least they won't go bankrupt." After Harvey finished speaking, he exhaled with relief.

"Little Jack, you must have a better way, don't you?" Unlike Didi's concern, Old Hunter's attention was always on someone who was snickering.

His words stunned everyone, and Jack, who was leisurely pinching a "cannon" cigar and smelling the smell, suddenly became the focus of attention.

"Why don't I tell a story first, I can't verify the authenticity of this story, but it gives me some inspiration."

Jack smiled mysteriously, this was the idea that Hannah had come up with after helping him "get through" his mind yesterday, and it came from a real case that had happened in his previous life.

"There was once a lonely mother and daughter who were diagnosed with 'eye cancer' shortly after birth, the scientific name is retinoblastoma, a condition that can be cured in the early stages, but it takes a lot of money.

But the mother's daily part-time income can barely support herself, and it is impossible to come up with so much savings, and she has no relatives and friends around who can help. ”

The mother asked for help everywhere, but she ran into a wall everywhere, and her online posts for help did not attract much attention, because in any hospital, a dozen unfortunate people with similar experiences can be found.

Luckily, however, a guy who is good at hyping up news topics approached her and came up with a whimsical plan. ”

Jack picked up his glass, moistened his throat and continued.

So one day, the mother appeared in a local square with a large number of people in her arms, holding her sick daughter, and knelt all the way in the direction of the hospital, which soon attracted onlookers and interviews with media reporters.

"And then their stories attracted attention and help from well-wishers?" Journalist Dupri frowned, feeling that this miserable story seemed too ordinary, what inspiration could this be regarded as inspiring?

Of course, it's not that simple, when the reporter asked the mother why she knelt with her daughter in her arms, she told the reporter that the reason why she did it was because someone replied to her request for help on the Internet.

He claimed to be a rich second generation who was not short of money, but wanted to test the mother, and he claimed in the post that he was willing to pay a large sum of money as long as the other party could kneel all the way from the square to the hospital. ”

"Fack, this guy is a genius!" Reporter Dupri exclaimed in surprise, slapped his thigh hard, and had come to his senses.

None of the stupid people present understood the story Jack told.

"After only a few days of fermentation of public opinion, while the angry people condemned the rich second generation, the mother's plight also received donations from many sympathists, and finally succeeded in raising enough medical expenses."

"Of course, there are follow-ups to this story, and the guy who masterminded the hype caused quite a bit of controversy and didn't seem to be a good person, but for this project alone, its success provided me with a good inspiration."
