Chapter 208: The Girl on the Street
In Count Hall's villa, Audrey saw Hobart's letter and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: Mr. Fool's task has finally been delegated, and with Hobert's usual reliability, there should be no problem with the strength of the extraordinary person he found.
She read the brief letter again: she could not have imagined that it would cost so much money to assassinate an ambassador! Also, the additional conditions proposed by the other party are also a bit difficult!
"Audrey, the person who wrote to me seems to know that I can speak." Susie said suddenly.
Audrey was a little surprised at first, then shook her head and smiled: "No way, Mr. Hobert has been here twice, and he can't know that you have taken potions." ”
"Theoretically, yes."
Audrey was a little dizzy, oh my God, Susie actually started to theorize!
Susie's big mouth opened and closed: "But according to my observations, he seemed to be talking to me several times when he released the letter, but when the words came to his mouth, they became some inconsequential words. ”
Audrey frowned, she certainly trusted Susie's ability to observe.
But it doesn't make sense at all, and Hobert hasn't met Susie much at all.
……
Hobert, who was riding the carriage to Rue Blanca, touched his belly and said in his heart that he was in danger.
On several occasions he almost asked Susie to help him with a message and tell Audrey to keep it secret.
Hobert recalled Susie's image and found that it was really a good seedling of a "utopian dog", and in front of it, it was always easy for people to let down their guard.
Back at the rental, Hugh was already resting, and Furth was still reading a magazine, apparently waiting for Hobert, and had left him a dinner.
Hobert praised Furth for his attentiveness as he devoured it.
When Hobart finished eating, Foirth came over to ask about the results, and was relieved to learn that Hobart had successfully delegated the task.
Although she and Hugh couldn't delegate the task today, Audrey still gave them a commission fee of 500 pounds.
The money made both Furth and Hugh feel ashamed, but Audrey insisted on giving it at the time, and besides, they did take some risks, but after getting the money, they were a little unhappy, after all, they did not complete Audrey's commission.
Knowing that the matter was delegated, Foirth could also feel a little more at ease.
Hobert admonished, "Be careful with secrecy, and don't talk to Hugh about it outside." ”
"We know." Furth worried, "But I don't know where Mr. A ......"
Hobert smiled: "These madmen wish Beckland was as chaotic as possible." ”
And he's trying to recover now, and he doesn't have time to care about it.
After the task of assassinating the ambassador was commissioned, all that was left was to wait.
And life goes on.
On Wednesday morning, Hobart appeared in court, and many reporters and citizens who had heard the news rushed to see Hobart in action.
Who knew that the first thing the defendant did after arriving at the court was to find Hobart to settle out of court.
It turned out that after learning that the plaintiff's lawyer was Hobert, the defendant had been to many law firms for more than a week, and none of the lawyers were willing to help him defend him.
Hugo's barristers all lost, and the ordinary lawyers, knowing that they could not win against Hobert, simply refused, lest they bring shame on themselves, while the barristers cherished their feathers and were reluctant to appear in court.
You must know that due to the impact of the "workers' compensation case", the business volume of Hugo's barrister has dropped sharply, and no one wants to follow in Hugo's footsteps.
Hobart didn't expect that the case that he had been preparing for a week and was obviously a little difficult would be solved so easily!
The reporters were also disappointed and ran away in vain.
Hobert instructed Cody, who came with him: "Don't be careless, your case is not so easy to solve." ”
Cody smiled wryly, "I know. ”
He knew, of course, that he didn't have Hobert's prestige and fame.
At ten o'clock, the case in charge of Cody was opened, and the case was also a little difficult, and after repeated tug-of-war between the lawyers of both sides, a settlement plan was finally reached.
At lunchtime, Hobert helped Cody summarize the mistakes and lessons of this round of defense as usual, which also benefited Cody a lot.
After accompanying the three subordinates to court one after another, Hobart had a basic understanding of their abilities, and when the case was assigned in the future, he would have a good idea in mind.
As soon as she returned to the office, Jessica reported to Hobert: "There is a special client who has been waiting here in the morning, and I don't know whether to accept her request or not." ”
Hobert took off his trench coat and asked, "What's so special about it?" ”
"Well, she's a street girl."
"Jessica, I know you have some strange abilities, so you'll never get to this point." "In my opinion, the street girl is as tragic as the workers and peasants who cannot protect their rights. I hope you don't look the other way around any of your clients. ”
Hobert's obvious reproachful tone made Jessica blush a little: "I know, but I ......"
"I'm afraid it will affect my reputation?"
Jessica didn't say anything, but she did.
Hobert laughed: "If I lose the lawsuit, it will affect my reputation." ”
Then he was serious: "Didn't you find out?" The clients who came to us basically regarded us as the last hope.
"'The hope of the people at the bottom of Beckland' sounds good, and many years from now, we may even be the hope of this era."
Jessica looked at Hobart with excitement, who wouldn't want to make their mark in an era?
"Invite her to my office." Hobert looked at Jessica who was walking out and smiled, she was still too young to be filled with the leader's pie so easily.
The client's name is Emma, in her twenties, wearing Beckland's most fashionable dress, with light makeup, and a seductive charm between her eyebrows.
In order to avoid suspicion, Jessica also sat on the sidelines and listened.
Hobert quickly came to the conclusion that Emma was a "veteran" street girl, the kind of person who treated street girls as a job.
Not part-time jobs, nor women sold to red-light districts by traffickers. The former will not be so beautifully dressed, and the latter will not have much personal freedom.
When Emma saw Hobert, she smiled charmingly: "If Lawyer Hobert visits our shop when, I will definitely give you a discount." ”
If they had the right to choose their clients, they would certainly be willing to choose a young, handsome, suave and true gentleman.
Hobert smiled, "I don't have such a need for the time being. ”
After a few small talks, Emma began to tell the story of the case under the guidance of Hobert.
It turned out that there was a scoundrel named Wendell in the red light district recently, who patronized the "small shop" opened by several street girls like Emma, and did not give money after the clouds and rain.
Because such a small shop can't afford to hire thugs, there have been many small shops that have been succeeded by him, and he once threatened: "If you have the ability, you will sue me!" ”
Emma said: "There are really peers who have sued him, but they lost the lawsuit. ”
