Chapter 35 The Endless Road
When Sherri Leng fell into the arms of Elliot Mo, she could no longer pretend that nothing has happened: "You..."
Before Sherri could finish her words, she was already kissed deeply by Elliot.
Being not satisfied with Sherri's lips, Elliot pinched her waist gently and entered her mouth at the moment when she let out a cry.
Yet, it was cool and sweet. Silently, Elliot thought of the taste of this little woman within his hand.
At the same time, Elliot's hand fell from Sherri's waist to her legs, which were smooth and delicate.
Elliot really wanted to see Sherri's face, the woman in his hand. So he immediately left this sweet women in his arms and as he turned on the bedside lamp, he immediately went back to her.
The night was supposed to be a little cold, but the temperature in the room was rising sharply without warning.
Elliot pulled away the quilt on the bed and with a cry of surprise, Sherri hurriedly pulled the quilt aside to cover herself. Although she was wearing clothes, she felt that Elliot seemed to be able to see through her.
Elliot slowly pulled Sherri out of the quilt and whispered in her ear, which made her heart paralyzed. It was not that I love you, but that I would accompany you.
"I'll be with you."
Looking at the man who had been accompanying her all the time in disbelief, Sherri was deeply touched.
Sherri remained motionless in the quilt, looking at Elliot with her deer like clear eyes.
In the clear eyes of Sherri, Elliot could see himself.
Except from Sherri's eyes, Elliot could also see the blushing face of her, but he did not take any further actions.
After placing his body flat, Elliot lay beside Sherri and said, "I just wanted to hug you. Sherri. "
His hoarse voice was different from that of Elliot as usual. Sherri automatically moved herself to the man next to her. At the moment when the two people's bodies touched, there was a comforting smile on the corner of Elliot's mouth. Finally, Sherri had come to her senses.
Knowing that Elliot couldn't be too anxious, he just held the little girl beside him and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep, except for the physiological reaction of the CEO...
As if Sherri had known nothing, she fell asleep at ease.
The night before he left the hospital, the CEO had slept the whole night with the woman he had been longing for.
On the other hand, Harrison Bai gave full play with his fastest efficiency with the matter. Not long after, Michelle Leng and Janine Su received a summons from the court.
"What's going on?" With a snap, Michelle slammed the subpoena on the table and questioned her sister, "Melissa, didn't you hire Harrison in dealing the matter? Why is this happening?" Melissa would have never have thought that things were not over yet. She had believed that the case had been closed, but it turns out that something wrong had to happen at the end. "Michelle, don't worry. I'll call Harrison!"
Obviously, Harrison had promised her that he wouldn't do anything against her promise. Besides, he had no reason to change his mind. After all, it would be a big blow to Sherri. As the saying goes, an enemy's enemy is a friend.
But as Melissa tried to call Harrison's private phone number, she found out that she has been blacklisted!
Seeing that, Melissa's face turned pale. Unwilling to give up, she dialed the consulting phone of the law firm where Harrison was.
"Hello, welcome to call Yiloitte law firm."
Melissa was angry as soon as she heard the name Yiloitte being spoke out.
As she heard the words 'law firm', her face darkened. She shouted over the phone, "I'm looking for Harrison Bai!"
"May I know your surname please, Madame? Have you made an appointment with Mr. Bai?" The customer service replied politely.
"I am Melissa Leng! Don't you know my name? Get Harrison on the phone, right now!"
The customer service staff on the other side of the phone was speechless. It turned out that they met the unreasonable daughter of the Leng family.
Everyone in the lawyer's office knew that Harrison was busy with the case of Sherri, and the two sisters of the Leng family and the Su family were the defendant that the lawyer was going to deal with. Hearing the unfriendly tone of the daughter of the Leng family, it would be troublesome if she really called Mr. Bai to answer the phone, so she tried to say in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Leng, Mr. Bai is too busy at the moment. I'm afraid I can't contact him without an appointment being booked. If you want to make an appointment now, you can tell me the time and I'll help you arrange it."
"What if I want to see him this afternoon?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Leng. I can only make an appointment in a week."
"A week later?" Melissa exclaimed.
If they wait to see Harrison until a week later, then they wouldn't be able to reverse the verdict.
"Humph! I think it's because that Harrison doesn't dare to see me. Why make this appointment thing as an excuse?" Melissa hung up the phone angrily.
Sitting opposite to her, Michelle had a worried look on her face. Judging from Melissa's expression, she know what happened on the phone just now.
"We can't sit still and wait for death. Melissa, since Harrison doesn't want to see us, we will go to his law firm to look for him."
Without further ado, the two sisters of the Leng clan came to the gate of the Yiloitte law firm. There was a stone tablet at the gate, with the words "deer gate in Han Yin and spiritual investigation in the sea" carved on it.
After observing the stela for a while, Melissa suddenly remembered that it was from Tu Fu's "Happy Girl", and her face darkened immediately.
"Melissa, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine. Let's go inside. Those girls don't dare to stop us." Michelle pointed at the two receptionists at the door.
The receptionist was also a sensible person. It seemed that the situation was fierce and she tried her best to delay it in a friendly way, but Michelle and Melissa didn't buy it at all. The poor girls wanted to stop them, but they were pushed away by the two sisters.
"Have you heard of the JJ Group?! Believe it or not, I will let you lose your job and make you unable to stay in city A!
"What? Is Miss Leng good at threatening others of losing their job? "A crisp and pleasant male voice came from behind. It was Harrison Bai.
Wasn't this a satire for the time when Michelle had treated Sherri? Michelle's face went a little red.
However, Melissa didn't notice it. Instead, she was very excited to see Harrison. "Harrison! You finally showed up!'
"The two sisters are quarreling here. It's hard not to attract my attention." As expected, Harrison was the top lawyer in city A. His sharp tongue was unparalleled.
"Have you forgotten our agreement?!"
"Humph!" Harrison said it coldly: "The law is fair and just. It won't be biased for anyone. I advise Miss Leng and Miss Su to behave themselves. If you have some spare times, you'd better hire a senior lawyer. Maybe you can get a lighter sentence."
"Harrison, do you think you are the only one who knows the law in this world? Do you think you won't lose the case?" It was hard for Michelle to swallow the humiliation. He was just a little lawyer, how could he be so arrogant.
"I will hire a lawyer who is a thousand times better than you! I don't know what Sherri has done to you. Why are you helping her like this? Don't regret it in the court!"
"First of all, what Miss Leng said just now is suspicious of slander, and I have the right to defend my reputation. Secondly, welcome to find a better lawyer, Miss Leng. But I'm determined to get this case right, and whoever you find is only to reduce the penalty at most. Last, this is the law firm, not your home. You are not allowed to stay here, security! See the guest out!
After saying that, Harrison turned around and walked into the inner office without looking back, and those two strong security guards rushed out and said, "miss! This way, please."
Looking at the two strong men in front of her, Michelle knew that it was only her who would suffer losses if she continued to waste time like this. Although she was unhappy, she still pulled Melissa away with her.
On the other side, things were not going well with Janine either. She tore the letter into pieces at the first sight of the court summons. But what could she do even if the paper was destroyed? The matter was finally exposed. When Janine planned out what to do with Michelle, she didn't expect that Michelle came back just after they got shut out of Harrison's door. Looking at her angry face, she knew that Michelle also didn't get any benefit.
"Michelle, are we really going to go to jail this time?" Sitting on the sofa, Janine didn't bother to take a look at the good black tea brought over by the servant.
"I just went to find Harrison. I'm afraid that he won't help me with that attitude. I'll hire the best lawyer to reverse the case." Michelle clenched her fists and didn't feel her long fingernails piercing into her flesh. "The best lawyer in city A is Harrison. We won't be able to defeat him."
"No, I don't believe that!" Michelle said it further slapping her upper legs: "There are so many lawyers out there, is there really no one as capable as Harrison?"
"But this time we are at a disadvantage. No matter how good the lawyer is! We can't think about winning the case, because we can't win it at all. But we can avoid it, Michelle"
Janine came up with a brilliant idea just now, and it would definitely work. Thinking of this, she instantly relaxed. She gently picked up the black tea cup on the tea table and took a sip. "Good tea. Do you have any extra tea at home?"
Seeing that Janine could drink tea in such a calm manner, Michelle was even more regretful. "How could you have the time to drink tea? If we don't win at the court, we will die. After we are put into prison, even your Su family won't be able to protect you!"
"The Su family can't protect me, but your family can!" A smile appeared on Janine's face, and her eyes were full of complacency.
Looking at the exasperated and anxious look on Michelle's face, she felt it was funny. "Your grandfather, Jonathon Leng, will not refuse to accept it, will he? As long as your grandfather persuade Sherri to withdraw the lawsuit, we can escape from it."
Michelle was suddenly enlightened. She almost forgot that she still had her grandfather as her trump card.
Her grandfather had favored her since she was a child. This time, he would not just watch her own granddaughter being put into prison without saving her life. Moreover, her grandfather was also the grandfather of Sherri. No matter how much she hated the Leng family, all she had was her father and herself and no others.
"You are right, Janine. As long as my grandfather comes out, Sherri will definitely let us go."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
