Chapter 11: Audrey's Beauty

On Thursday morning, Hobart accompanied Barton in the law firm's carriage to Earl Hall's residence.

In the carriage, Barton explained: "Earl Hall was a nobleman with far-sighted vision and a wise mind, and at a time when most of the lords were still living on land and property, Earl Hall was already actively investing in banking and new industries. ”

Hobert nodded, isn't it "justice" her father, he is still a little impressed.

Barton sighed: "The reform of the Rune Kingdom over the years is like a sieve, a group of nobles have taken advantage of this opportunity to gain more wealth and political status, but most of the nobles have gone into decline.

"But the nobles value decency, even if there is any dispute between them, the first thing that comes to mind is to negotiate and settle it in private, if it really goes to court, it means that both sides are completely torn apart, and they can ignore the dignity of being a nobleman for some wealth and assets."

Patton is deeply trusted by Earl Hall, and generally when Earl has important transactions or cooperation, he will ask Patton to help review the contract, and if he encounters any economic disputes, he will also listen to Patton's opinion.

Hobert had seen Earl Hall's mansion from a distance before, and he didn't feel anything from the outside, but after entering the door, Hobart felt that the Earl's mansion was much larger than he had imagined.

Entering the door is a huge garden with sculptures, fountains, huge lawns, and manicured landscape trees.

The lawn is the symbol of the aristocracy of this era, and ordinary people do not plant grass, because there is no profit from planting grass, and it takes effort to take care of it.

Only the aristocracy did not depend on these lands for their livelihood, so they chose to grow grass.

Gradually, the lawn became a symbol of nobility and wealth.

Hobart and Barton rode in a carriage to a three-storey, imposing-looking European-style building, where Earl Hall's butler was already waiting outside the door.

The butler politely exchanged a few words with Barton, and at the same time did not forget to praise Hobart for his talent.

Then Barton and Hobart were led by the butler into the door, which was a magnificent hall with many artists' works on the walls, and many of the furnishings were priceless antiques.

Earl Hall was waiting at the door of a drawing room, and though the years had left a clear mark on the count, he was still handsome, and it is conceivable that in his youth he must have been a nobleman who had fascinated many young girls.

"Mr. Barton, you always look so good." Count Hall smiled and said, "Is this your new assistant?" ”

"Your complexion is also like the morning sun, which makes people feel warm." "Yes, Earl," said Barton, "he is a top student at Beckland, a very good young man. ”

Earl Hall looked at Hobert, with black hair, dark eyes, handsome features, and especially a sunny and hearty smile, like a young man from a neighbor's house.

"Seeing these outstanding young people, I feel that I am really old." Count Hall sighed, "Please come in." ”

"Daddy!" A crisp shout made the three of them stop their movements and follow the sound to look.

Hobart saw that there was a peerless beauty walking towards him gracefully, her blonde hair and blue eyes, her long hair was as moist as gold, her temperament was pure and elegant, and her green eyes were like the purest jewels.

Hobert couldn't help but be stunned, this was definitely the most beautiful young lady he had ever seen in his two lives.

Barton reminded him by clearing his throat before Hobart came back to his senses, and he said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry Earl, and this beautiful young lady, I am struck by your beauty." ”

Earl Hall smiled and said, "There is nothing to apologize for, the pursuit of beauty is a gentleman's cultivation." ”

The Earl did not see any infatuation or filth in Hobert's eyes, but simply shocked and admired the beauty, such a concentration is rare among young people, and the key party apologized generously, making Earl Hall appreciate this young man more and more.

This unbelievably beautiful young lady is naturally the "righteous" Miss Audrey.

Hobert sighed, no wonder "Mr. Ke" was a little out of shape when he saw Audrey for the first time, and wondered if this was a "witch", it was really a little too beautiful.

The Count asked Audrey, who had come nearer, "My beautiful daughter, is there anything to do with me?" ”

"Hello Mr. Barton." Good upbringing made Audrey greet Barton cordially at first, and did not forget to give Hobart a warm smile.

Then she said to Earl Hall, "Father, when you are done with business, may I ask Mr. Barton a few questions alone?" ”

"Absolutely." Count Hall said with a doting expression.

Barton also said, "Beautiful young lady, it is my pleasure. ”

He said, "Allow me to introduce my assistant Hobert, who is a law student at Beckland University, and if you want to ask about the law, I would like to put Hobart to work for you." ”

The Count smiled, "It seems that you have high expectations for this young man. ”

Barton nodded, "Yes." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Hobert was slightly stunned, he probably understood that Barton was recommending himself to the next generation of the Earl.

In Luhn's legal profession, it is generally a student or assistant who the barrister thinks is promising before recommending his or her main client, or the descendants of his main client.

It's kind of like the meaning of "closed disciple".

But the question is, Hobart thinks that as long as he digests the potion, he may leave the firm, why did Barton cultivate himself like this?

But this is not the time to think about this, Hobert bowed slightly to Audrey and said, "I'm happy to serve you." ”

Audrey obviously didn't trust Hobart a little, but for the sake of Mr. Patton's face, she said, "Alright, Mr. Hobert, please come with me." ”

Watching the two young men leave, Earl Hall smiled and said, "I'm also going to consider finding a young man as an assistant." ”

He exclaimed: "It's good to be young, it always makes people feel vibrant, and I feel full of strength now." ”

Barton smiled, "Then let's get to work." ”

The two men entered the reception room while talking.

On the other side, Audrey led Hobart to the garden, but the most beautiful flowers here were a little paled in comparison to Audrey.

Audrey walked ahead and asked, "Mr. Hobert, have you ever been involved in a criminal case?" ”

Hobart was stunned, he couldn't say that he had handled a total of one case: "I have seen many relevant cases, I can help you analyze and make recommendations, if it needs to be resolved in court, you can ask Mr. Barton to come forward." ”

Audrey frowned slightly before continuing: "I have a friend who accidentally disabled her opponent during a conflict......"

Hobert said in his heart, "Miss Justice, that friend can't be Hugh, right?"
