Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Because I live at my uncle's house, I get up early every morning, and today is no exception.

These days, after getting up, I would habitually ding-dong-dong on the piano in my cousin's room, knocking out a series of notes of "Flying Bumblebee", and then running to help my aunt prepare breakfast.

Leave the room and head towards the kitchen as usual.

My uncle was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, when he noticed her coming out, he said hello casually: "Morning, Jenny."

"Good morning, uncle," came to the kitchen and kissed aunt's face affectionately: "good morning, aunt."

"Morning," my aunt smiled and said, "I always listen to you play the piano these days, and are you interested in music again?"

Helping her aunt to divide the prepared salad, she shook her head and said, "No, did you disturb you?"

"Of course not. Lisa and Clark have both moved out. I wish there was more noise in the house."

"Hehe, isn't there Carl?"

"Carl is just too shy to deal with people. By the way, is he up yet?"

"I didn't see it."

So my aunt told my uncle in the living room to wake up little cousin Carl.

After being so busy for a while, a family of four sat around the restaurant and began to eat breakfast.

Aunt helped her pour the milk and handed it over, and then asked the uncle on the opposite side: "Who called this morning, so early?"

The uncle said: "Janet Johnston, a very important client, asked me to help her with a case."

"I remember that woman," my aunt thought for a while, and said, "I always feel that she is a little abnormal."

"Is this your woman's prejudice? Why didn't I feel it?"

The little cousin who had bowed his head to eat suddenly interjected: "Dad, this shows that you are not normal either."

She laughed suddenly.

Aunt pretended to be angry and knocked on the head of the little cousin: "How do you say your father?"

The uncle just smiled, but turned to her again: "Jenny, this is a very interesting case. Come and see it with me later."

She studied at Yale Law School and will receive a doctorate in law next year. She has confirmed that she will be an intern in her uncle's office. At this time, she nodded when she heard what her uncle said, "Okay."

After breakfast, I changed into a light gray women's professional suit with plaid, simply tied a ponytail, said goodbye to my aunt and cousin, and left the Bel Air community with my uncle by car.

On the way, my uncle told her the general situation of the case: "This incident happened in Santa Monica last night. Five young people beat up a boy who got off work from a convenience store. Jenny, guess the result?"

Five against one, what else?

She thought to herself, but worried that she would represent the five bastards who beat people today.

My uncle noticed the change in her expression and clearly saw her thoughts, and said, "Jenny, if this is the case, it will be very difficult for you to become a qualified lawyer. However, we are representing the boy who was beaten today. "

Only then did I feel relieved, so I asked, "Uncle, what's the result?"

"As a result," my uncle smiled and sold a little bit before saying: "All the five youths had a broken leg, severe comminuted fractures, and one of them lost seven teeth. The boy who was attacked was Just got some minor injuries."

She was still worried about the boy who was beaten. At this time, when she heard what her uncle said, she opened her mouth suddenly, showing an unbelievable look, and said, "He, is he Bruce Lee?"

"Oh, we'll find out when we go over and take a look."

Then, at the ucla Medical Center in Santa Monica, she once again saw the focused figure holding the guitar on Venice Beach.

"Simon, this is lawyer George Norman. He is very powerful. He will definitely help us clean up those rubbish. Oh, George, this is Simon, Simon Westeros."

Simon Westeros.

I immediately remembered the name.

The uncle shook hands with the boy and turned to look at her.

Without waiting for her uncle's introduction, she stepped forward generously, stretched out her hand to him, and said, "Hello, I'm Jennifer Leibold."

Simon smiled and shook hands with the capable girl with a ponytail in front of him, and said, "Raybould, I know, this is the meaning of the rainbow, right?"

Jennifer Leibold nodded, somewhat surprised, and said, "Yeah."

raybould is a variant of rainbow.

He didn't expect him to know this kind of uncommon little knowledge, but he didn't know the origin of 'Westeros', and it seemed that he had to check it out when he went back.

However, he obviously didn't remember himself at all, and he couldn't help feeling a little lost.

Thinking of this, I continued to shake hands with Janet Johnston next to me, and said hello. Suddenly I remembered that this should be the woman who wanted to steal money from his piano case that day. It turned out that they not only knew each other, but were also so close. Obviously, ordinary friends would not be so dedicated to the bed when the other party was hospitalized.

After the chat, George Norman sat down beside Simon's bed, took out his notebook, and began to ask for more specific details of last night's events. Jennifer Leibold also held a notebook and sat next to her uncle with a serious expression.

Simon also cooperated as much as possible.

We talked like this for over half an hour,

George Norman temporarily left, intending to communicate with the police in charge of the case.

Simon and Janet were the only two left in Simon's ward for the time being.

However, before it was quiet for a long time, there was a knock on the door, and a tall middle-aged man with rimless glasses walked in.

"Mr. Westeros?" The middle-aged man confirmed, and then he took the initiative to hand over the business card and said, "I'm the attorney representing Derek Wheeler, Mark Stein and others."

Janet, who was still smiling at first, lost her face when she heard the introduction.

Simon remained calm and said, "Hello, Mr. Wheeler."

Derek Wheeler didn't care about Janet's indifference, but he didn't sit down either, still standing beside Simon's bed, condescendingly, and said, "Mr. Westeros, after communicating with my client, I found that, When they have lost the ability to resist, you still inflict violence on them, which is a very serious crime of intentional injury. If this matter goes to court, you will also face jail. And, I also know you A potential screenwriter who just signed a deal with Fox, and if things go awry, it could ruin your personal career."

As soon as Derek Wheeler finished speaking, Janet was already dissatisfied: "This gentleman, the threat is over, you can go out, we will state your threat in court."

Derek Wheeler was a little stunned, but he didn't expect that he was just starting a foreshadowing and was about to be kicked out. He had to turn to Simon on the hospital bed, hoping that the boy would have some ideas.

Simon pondered for a moment, and was about to speak when the door was knocked again, and lawyer George Norman rushed back with Jennifer Leibold.

When Derek Wheeler saw George Norman, an unexpected expression appeared on his face, and Simon even noticed a clear guilty conscience from the other's face.

George Norman was also a little surprised, but then there was a bit of ridicule in his tone: "Derek, this time, are we going to be opponents again?"

Derek Wheeler looked stiff, and after a moment said: "George, this is really surprising. However, on behalf of my client, I want to resolve this matter in a peaceful manner. Although your client is Was beaten first, but also had very serious defensive overreach. So, my client wants this to be settled."

When Janet heard the words, she immediately said, "Reconciliation? Ha, that's not what the woman said last night. Don't they want to pursue it to the end? Do I still want to accompany me to the end?"

Derek Wheeler finished explaining, but ignored the others and looked at Simon again.

In the final analysis, this matter is still with the boy in front of him.

Simon lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then said to Derek Wheeler: "$500,000, I want to see the check before noon, and then this matter is over. Otherwise, I will sue them for murder."

Simon said, everyone in the ward was stunned.

Janet reacted first, pounced and pinched Simon's face hard, and said very dissatisfied: "Little bastard, you are looking at money, we don't want money, we are going to send those wastes to prison."

George Norman's expression was also very surprised, but he did not speak.

Jennifer Leibold looked at the boy on the bed with a bit of disappointment on her face.

Simon ignored the changes in everyone's expressions. After speaking, he turned to George Norman and said, "Lawyer Norman, can I sue them for murder?"

George Norman paused and nodded: "Of course."

Derek Wheeler's expression changed when he heard Simon's request.

He originally hoped to obtain a settlement result for his client that both parties owed, but he did not expect that the boy would ask for $500,000, which is not a small sum of money. However, this is precisely within the scope of another customer's commitment.

The client now prefers that the matter be resolved quickly.

Moreover, if the boy starts to prosecute Mark Stein and others for murder, the five young people will obviously not be willing to carry such a serious crime, and it is very likely that the client will also be involved.

Things will get bigger by then.

After hesitating for a moment, Derek Wheeler smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Westeros, I will pass on your request to my client."

Having said that, Derek Wheeler left Simon's ward.

Then, the atmosphere in the room also became stalemate.

George Norman didn't expect things to turn so quickly, looking at Janet, who was sitting with her back to Simon, who was a little girl on the other side of the hospital bed, so he could only say: "Miss Johnston, in this case, we will leave first. Now, if necessary, we'll come back at noon."

Janet said nothing.

Simon could only say: "Thank you for coming here, Mr. Norman."

"This is my job," George Norman nodded, pulled his niece beside him, and the two left Simon's ward together.

The room was completely quiet. Simon waited patiently for a while. Seeing that Janet was still silent, he had to take the initiative to say, "Jenny, do you want to listen to the joke?"

"..."

"How about I sing a song for you?"

"..."

"I'm going to make a movie recently. Would you like to make a cameo?"

"..."

After coaxing for a while, there was no result, and Simon could only give up.

near noon

, Catherine, who had rested for a few hours, came to the hospital again. Janet, who hadn't said a word to Simon for more than an hour, immediately began to complain, accusing Simon of being a poor bastard who asked for money and had no bones.

Before Katherine could ask any further questions, Derek Wheeler returned with a check for $500,000 and a settlement.

Although she was very dissatisfied with Simon's behavior, Janet called again and called lawyer George Norman. However, this time, only George Norman was left.

Attorney George Norman carefully confirmed the settlement agreement brought by Derek Wheeler, saying that there was no problem, and Simon signed his name.

When Derek Wheeler left, Janet threw the check left by the other party to Simon, and taunted: "Okay, you are now a millionaire, are you satisfied?"

Simon didn't talk to him, picked up the check on the sheets and looked down silently for a moment, then handed it to the woman sitting next to him, and said, "Catherine, find a charity and donate the money."

Catherine dazedly accepted the check: "Huh?"

Following Simon's words, Janet, who was leaning on the head of the bed with her back to him, turned around again.

George Norman, who wanted to leave, temporarily swallowed his farewell words.

Simon looked at Janet across from the hospital bed, and said with a smile, "I can't ask for this money, or Janet won't care about me in the future."

Janet curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Then why are you struggling like this."

Simon lowered his eyes again, his thoughts seemed to be a little sluggish, and he whispered: "I just want to confirm one thing."

Janet felt that Simon's voice was a little low, and leaned forward: "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed."

"Confirm what?"

Simon looked up again, still the same harmless smile, but with a strange indifference in his tone, and said lightly: "There is still one leg missing."
