Chapter 230
The lawyer in charge of Maria's case was called Carley Zouch. She was a student who had just graduated from University A at the age of 23.
Knowing that Maria hired a newly graduated lawyer to be their duty lawyer, Deegan did not even have the desire to bribe them. He was confident that he would win this lawsuit.
Two days before the second instance trial of Maria's case, Audrey asked Carley out to meet.
Carley was waiting for Audrey at their appointed tea house. When she saw Audrey appear in front of her, Carley suddenly stood up and widened her eyes in surprise. Her mouth could not close for a long time.
"You ... you ... you are Audrey, right?" When Carley saw Audrey, she was too excited to speak.
Audrey smiled at Carley, "I am Audrey. Miss Carley, please sit!"
Audrey sat down in front of Carley.
Carley was still in a daze, and she could not wake up from the surprise of seeing Audrey.
Audrey was not in a hurry. She called the waiter and ordered a cup of green tea.
After Audrey ordered the tea, Carley finally came to her senses.
Carley looked at Audrey who was sitting opposite her in disbelief and slowly sat down.
"You ... you are Audrey?" Carley finally found her voice. "Did ... did... did you call me?"
Audrey nodded, "Yes, I was the one who called you."
After confirming that it was Audrey who had made an appointment with her, Carley felt even more amazed.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect Audrey to meet me." Carley was extremely happy. She quickly took out a small mirror from her bag and checked her appearance. Then, she took out her phone and looked at Audrey with anticipation, "Audrey, I am your loyal fan. Can I take a photo with you?"
Audrey wondered, 'Did Carley take her as a star?'
She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Of course!"
After Audrey agreed, Carley quickly approached Audrey with her phone. She took several photos in a row before stopping.
After taking the photos, Carley returned to her seat in satisfaction,
"Audrey, many of my classmates in Law School are your fans. Previously, you defended our compatriots who were discriminated against by Country M and won the case. What you said in court at that time was inspiring. I dreamed of becoming a great lawyer like you."
Audrey looked at Carley awkwardly.
To her surprise, Carley was her fan.
"Thanks for your compliment, Miss Carley."
Carley finally remembered that it was Audrey who had made an appointment with her, so she changed the subject, "Audrey, why are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I'm here for the case of Mr. Brown and his father with William."
Carley frowned and looked at Audrey awkwardly.
"Audrey, although I like you very much, the contents of the case must be kept confidential before the trial starts. Moreover, William's attorney works in your office, so ..."
Audrey raised her eyebrows.
Carley was indeed a good lawyer Audrey picked in person. Carley could keep secrets.
"I'm not here to help the lawyer in my office ask the plaintiff for information. In fact ...," Audrey smiled and said, "It was me who recommended you to Mrs. Brown."
Carley was surprised, "You recommend me to Mrs. Brown? Why?"
"Because I think you are the most suitable lawyer for this case." Audrey smiled.
Carley looked at Audrey suspiciously.
Then, Carley called Mrs. Brown in front of Audrey. When Carley confirmed that it was indeed Audrey who asked Mrs. Brown to find her, she was even more surprised.
"Audrey, you picked me. Did you ..." Carley clenched her fists tightly, "did you think that I will lose to Deegan?"
"On the contrary, I am sure that you will win against Deegan."
Carley raised her head in surprise, "What? Aren't you colleagues?"
"Miss Carley, you don't have to doubt me. I choose you not to humiliate you. Instead, I want to help you."
"Help me? Why? Isn't Deegan a lawyer from Square Law Firm? We are rivals. Why are you helping me?"
"Let's put it this way!" Audrey went straight to the point, "Mr. Brown and his wife are my friends. I found out about this matter after Deegan accepted the case. For some reason, they lost the first trial. Now it is the second trial."
"But the evidence of the first trial is very unfavorable to Mr. Brown!" Carley frowned.
Audrey smiled at her, "Miss Carley. Since I am here, it means that I am confident that I can help you win this lawsuit."
Carley nodded happily.
"Okay, Audrey. As long as I can win this lawsuit, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Carley trusted Audrey from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at the girl in front of her who was as pure as a little white rabbit, Audrey thought of herself, who used to be pure as well when she had just entered the workplace.
Because Carley grew up under the care and protection of her family, there were no impurities in Carley's eyes. However, Audrey's aim in entering the workplace was to take revenge. Her heart was full of hatred. She was good at pretending to be pure. However, her performance was not as real as Carley's.
Carley trusted Audrey very much. It seemed that if Audrey sold her out, she would be willing to count the money for Audrey.
...
It was the end of the month, and the final exams of University A began.
After seeing Carley, Audrey went to University A to pick up Harold.
There were two exams in the afternoon, and students were supposed to hand in the exam papers at 5: 30.
Audrey went to pick up Harold around five o'clock. After fifteen minutes or so, Audrey saw a tall and thin boy walking out of the campus.
It was Harold.
Harold was walking to the gate when he was stopped by two girls.
"What is your name? Which department are you from?"
"My name is ... I'm from the Fine Arts Department. Shall we add each other on WeChat?"
Audrey was surprised.
Harold was not good at dealing with girls. He looked at the two girls awkwardly. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Harold awkwardly bypassed the two girls and walked to Audrey.
The two girls saw Audrey. Because Audrey looked young, the two girls thought that Harold already had a girlfriend. They left in disappointment.
Audrey smiled as she looked in the direction of the two girls and teased Harold, "I think those two girls are quite cute. Why don't you talk to them more? I'm an open-minded sister."
Harold was speechless.
