Chapter 50: A Happy Ending
Hobert said: "It turns out that your wife already had a child before she got married, and because she was afraid that you would hurt the child, your wife has been hiding the truth......
Hobert gave a rough account of the origin of the child, and Mr. Barron smiled bitterly: "It's me who blames Penny, I haven't had a child, it turns out to be me, my reason." ”
In fact, he had a similar idea for a long time, but today he was sure that it was indeed his own reason.
"Mr. Barron, I have already talked to your wife about divorce, and she means that as long as you don't hurt her children, you can negotiate for her to file for divorce. ”
In fact, in the final analysis, Penny did not betray the marriage, after all, the child was born before marriage.
But it was her concealment that made this marriage unhappy.
Barron laughed, "Lawyer Hobert, I'm not a rude villager, how could I be angry with a child?" ”
He said: "The conditions I made before will not change, let this matter end like this." ”
……
On the other side, Penny, who was sitting in the carriage, was very nervous, she was afraid that Benny would be hurt, and she was afraid to see Mr. Barron's eyes full of anger.
At this point, she regretted it a little, and she shouldn't have trusted the young lawyer so easily.
Penny's father was even more nervous, and he was a little confused about holding the axe, feeling that it was a stupid decision to bring it with him.
But seeing his daughter's hesitant and helpless eyes, his hand holding the handle of the axe had strength again.
It seemed to be a long, long wait before they saw Mr. Barron walking briskly down the main road of the farm with Benny in his arms.
At this time, both father and daughter were relieved, and the time to come finally came.
When they saw Hobert waving to them, they got out of the car in a bit of a panic.
"Penny!" Mr. Barron exclaimed, "You should have told me a long time ago!" ”
"I'm sorry Barron." Penny lowered her head and said, "I, I ......"
"Alright, let's get together and disperse." Mr. Barron said, "As long as we don't hate each other, let it be over." ”
Hobart was on the sidelines: "The premise is that you file for divorce, or I will hold you accountable for your deception of Mr. Barron." ”
Penny covered her mouth, tears streaming down her cheeks: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been hiding you for so long." ”
She now regretted the concealment she had been withdrawing, she thought she should have thought that how could Mr. Barron be angry with a child?
Or Mr. Barron simply won't marry her, and he won't let her be terrified for the past three years.
Barron smiled, "I will give you the wool processing workshop so that you mother and son can have a stable source of income." ”
The matter was finally over, and Mr. Barron found himself feeling less depressed.
Barron's promise left both Penny and her father at a loss.
Barron waved his hand, said nothing, and walked back to the farmstead step by step.
"Ma'am, I don't know if you remember Benny's biological father, but I advise you to forget about a man who doesn't admit it when he puts his pants on." ”
He took out the "Divorce Agreement" that he had prepared a long time ago: "Now you believe it, no one will hurt your children, Mr. Barron has even thought about the future sources of income for your mother and son." Let's sign it, and it's up to you to end the marriage with your own hands. ”
Penny touched her tears: "You are a credible gentleman and a conscientious lawyer. ”
She hugged Benny and signed the Divorce Settlement.
Penny's father was also completely relieved, believing that this was the best ending.
After getting Penny's signature, Hobart sent the three of them back. Back in the village, the old man asked Hobart to wait outside for a while.
About two or three minutes later, Hobart saw the old man come out with a crumpled handful of 1 Sul 2 Sul banknotes: "Mr. Hobert, thank you very much today, I ......"
Hobert interrupted with a smile, "Old man, if you really want to thank me, give me two pumpkins." ”
Although he only played the role of communication, his communication was the most effective communication, which protected the rights and interests of his parties and left a certain way out for Penny's mother and son.
There were many pumpkins piled up in the yard, and without waiting for the old man to answer, Hobert himself carried two pumpkins into the car: "Goodbye, old man!" ”
The old man stood at the gate of the courtyard at a loss, and only after a while did he say helplessly: "Goodbye." ”
By this time the carriage had gone away.
No sooner had he returned to the law firm than Barton called Hobart to his office: "Mr. Barron's butler has just arrived. ”
He said: "He said that Mr. Barron was grateful to Mr. Hobert for his conscientiousness, and had settled the £10 commission, so you would be paid £1. ”
He smiled: "How is it, is there a gap in my heart?" Most of the commissions that lawyers encounter today are such trivial matters. ”
Hobert smiled: "The good news is that I don't have to pay taxes on the remuneration of this commission.
"Also, the commission is actually 10 pounds plus two pumpkins, the pumpkin is a tip, and you will bring one back later."
"Oh, you can eat pumpkin pie tonight." Barton smiled.
Hobert did not complain but chose to accept, this composure once again made Barton happy, sometimes he had to wonder, this is really a college student who has not yet reached graduation age?
The soul in Hobert's body is certainly not a rookie in the workplace, and his previous job is much more stressful than his current one! Sometimes you have to work "free overtime" on Sundays.
Towards the end of the afternoon, Hobert finally received a letter from the mercenary club, with a buyer who wanted to trade his jewelry and gold with him tomorrow at noon.
Hobert counted the time, and wrote to Mr. Robin, asking them to come over tomorrow afternoon to discuss the case.
In the evening, the Christine family drank pumpkin porridge and listened to Hobert tell the origin of the pumpkin.
After listening to Hobert's story, the adoptive mother Meng Lisa sighed: "Hobert, although your handling of this matter did not maximize the interests of your client, you took care of the mother and son who were in a vulnerable situation. ”
Christine also smiled: "The things in life are often the most difficult to deal with, and your kindness and wisdom are shown in dealing with this matter." ”
Hobart smiled, "I just think the world should be a little more beautiful." ”
Christine raised her glass: "To this great ideal." ”
……
In the southern continent, there are no small towns.
Elder Calvin, who took the "black cherry" handed over by Elliott, felt a lot of emotion for a while, the Balk family located on the South Main Road had not added new extraordinary traits for eight or nine years.
Calvin looked at the extraordinary trait in his hand for a few seconds before he said to Elliott, "Your merits are enough for you to be promoted to Sequence 7 left by your father." ”
"Uncle Calvin, what is the potion from Sequence 7 called?"
"Bribe-takers!"
