Hollywood Hunter

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

These days, after getting up, I will habitually ding on the piano in my cousin's room a few times, knocking out a string of notes of "Flying Bee", and then ran to help my aunt prepare breakfast.

Leave the room and walk towards the kitchen as usual.

Uncle was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, noticed that she came out, and greeted casually: "Good morning, Jenny."

"Good morning, uncle," came to the kitchen and kissed her aunt intimately: "Good morning, aunt."

"Early," said the aunt with a smile, "I always listen to you playing the piano these days and are interested in music again?"

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

"Of course not. Both Lisa and Clark moved out. I really hope there will be more noise at home."

"Oh, isn't there still Karl?"

"Karl is too shy and doesn't like to deal with people. By the way, did he get up?"

"Not seen."

So the aunt told the uncle in the living room to call little cousin Karl to get up.

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

The aunt helped her pour the milk and handed it over, before asking the uncle across from him: "Who made the call this morning, so early?"

Uncle said: "Janet Johnston, a very important customer, let me help her handle a case."

"I remember that woman," the aunt thought for a while, and said: "I always feel that she is not normal."

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

The little cousin who had originally bowed his head suddenly inserted a sentence: "Dad, this shows that you are not normal."

She suddenly laughed.

The aunt knocked angrily on the head of her little cousin: "How to say your father's."

Uncle just smiled, but turned to her again: "Jenny, this is a very interesting case, wait and see with me."

She went to Yale Law School and is about to enter her junior year. After graduation, she also intends to become a lawyer. She has decided to take an internship at her uncle's office next year.

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

Uncle on the road only told her the general situation of the case: "This happened in Santa Monica last night. Five young people besieged a boy who was off work from a convenience store, Jenny. Guess what?"

How about playing one out of five?

She was thinking about it, but she was worried that she would represent the five beating bastards today.

Uncle noticed the change in her expression and clearly saw her thoughts, saying: "Jenny, if that is the case, it is difficult for you to become a qualified lawyer. However, we are representing the beaten boy today. "

Only then did I feel relieved and asked: "Uncle, what is the result?"

"As a result," Uncle sold a small pass with a smile, only to say: "The five youths were all broken one leg, severe comminuted fracture, one of them lost seven teeth. The boy who was attacked Just suffered some minor injuries."

Originally still worried about the beaten boy, at this time, listening to the uncle said, she opened her mouth suddenly, revealing an incredible look, saying: "He, is he Bruce Lee?"

"Oh, we'll know when we look over."

Then, at the Santa Monica medical center, she once again saw the focused figure holding the guitar on Venice Beach.

"Simon, this is George Norman's lawyer. He is very powerful. He will definitely help us to clean up the waste.

Simon Westero.

Suddenly remembered this name.

Uncle and the boy shook hands and turned to look at her.

Not waiting for her uncle to introduce her, she stepped forward generously and reached out to him, saying, "Hello, this is Jennifer Rebold."

Simon smiled and shook his hand with a ponytail in front of her, and said, "Rebold, I know, this means rainbow, right?"

Jennifer Rebold nodded, with some surprise, and said, "Yeah."

Raybould is a variant of Rainbow.

Unexpectedly, he even knew this kind of strange little knowledge, but he didn't know the origin of'Westero'. It seems that he should go back and check it out.

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

Thinking about it, I continued to shake hands with Janet Johnston next to me and greeted me.Suddenly I remembered that this should be the woman who wanted to steal money from his piano box that day. It turned out that they not only knew each other, but also got so close. Ordinary friends obviously would not be so dedicated to stay with the bed when the other side was hospitalized.

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

Simon also cooperated as much as possible.

After talking for more than half an hour, George Norman temporarily resigned and left, intending to do some communication with the police in charge of the case.

For the time being, only Simon and Janet were left in Simon's ward.

It's just that it hasn't been quiet for a long time. The knock on the door rang and got a response. A tall middle-aged man wearing frameless glasses came in.

"Mr. Westeros?" The middle-aged man confirmed the sentence and offered the business card voluntarily, saying: "I am the attorney for Derek Wheeler, Mark Stein and others."

Janet, who was still smiling, heard her introduction and suddenly lost her face.

Simon said nothing, "Hello, Mr. Wheeler."

Derek Wheeler didn't care about Janet's indifference, but he didn't sit down. He still stood beside Simon's bed and took a few points to the ground. He said: "Mr. Westeros, after communicating with my clients, I found that In the case that they have lost their ability to resist, you still committed violent harm to them, which is a very serious crime of intentional injury. If this matter is against the court, you will also face prison. And, I also know that you It's a very promising film writer. I just signed a contract with Fox Pictures. If things go wrong, it may ruin your personal career."

As soon as Derek Wheeler's words fell, Janet was already dissatisfied and said: "This gentleman, after the intimidation is over, you can go out, we will state the threat you just made in court"

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

Simon thought for a moment, just about to open the door, and the door was knocked again. Attorney George Norman ushered back with Jennifer Rebold.

When Derek Wheeler saw George Norman, his face clearly showed an unexpected expression, and Simon even noticed a slight guilty conscience from the other person's face.

George Norman also had some surprises, but then his tone was a bit ridiculed: "Derrick, this time, are we going to be opponents again?"

Derek Wheeler looked stiff, and said after a while: "George, this is really surprising. However, I just represent my client and want to solve this matter in a peaceful way. Your client though I was beaten first, but there was also a very serious act of defensive misconduct. So, my client hopes this matter will be reconciled."

Janet heard the words and immediately said: "Reconciliation? Ha, that woman didn't say that last night. Didn't they want to pursue it to the end, I still want to accompany it?"

After Derek Wheeler explained it, he ignored the others and looked at Simon again.

In the final analysis, this matter still happened to the boy in front of him.

Simon lowered his eyes and silenced for a moment, and then said to Derek Wheeler: "500,000 dollars, I will see the check before noon, and this matter ends here. Otherwise, I will sue them for murder."

Simon said it out, everyone in the ward was shocked.

Janet first reacted, rushed to squeeze and squeeze on Simon's face, very dissatisfied: "Little bastard, you are in the eyes of money, we don't need money, we have to send those wastes to prison."

George Norman's expression was also very unexpected, but he didn't speak.

Jennifer Rebold looked at the boy on the bed with a little disappointment in his expression.

Simon didn't pay attention to the change in everyone's expressions. After he finished 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 get a settlement result for his client that did not owe each other. Unexpectedly, the boy would ask for $500,000. This is not a small sum of money.However, this is precisely within the scope of another customer's commitment.

The client now hopes that this matter will be settled quickly.

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

Things will get bigger when the time comes.

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

After saying this, Derek Wheeler left Simon’s ward.

Then the atmosphere in the room became deadlocked.

George Norman didn't expect things to turn so fast, and the little girl who looked at the gas on the other side of the bed generally sat Janet with her back to Simon, and had to say: "Miss Johnston, let us say goodbye first. Well, if necessary, we will come back at noon."

Janet didn't speak.

Simon had to say: "Thank you for coming, Mr. Norman."

"This is my job," George Norman nodded, pulling the 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, she had to take the initiative: "Jenny, do you want to listen to jokes?"

"..."

"Otherwise, I will sing a song for you?"

"..."

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

"..."

After so coaxing for a while, Simon could only give up.

Near noon, Catherine, who had rested for a few hours, rushed to the hospital again. Janet, who had not spoken to Simon for more than an hour, immediately began to complain, accusing Simon of being a poor worm who asked for money and no bones.

Catherine hadn't had much time to ask, and Derek Wheeler returned, and she surely brought a $500,000 check and a settlement agreement.

Although dissatisfied with Simon's behavior, Janet called again to call George Norman's lawyer over.However, this time only George Norman was left.

Lawyer George Norman carefully confirmed the settlement agreement brought by Derek Wheeler and said that there was no problem before Simon signed his name.

When Derek Wheeler left, Janet handed over the check left by Simon to Simon, not forgetting to ridicule: "Okay, you are a rich man, are you dissatisfied?"

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

Catherine took the check stupefiedly: "Huh?"

As Simon said this, Janet, who had turned his back on the bed, turned back.

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

Simon looked at Janet across the bed and smiled, "I can't ask for this money, or Janet won't take care of me again."

Janet whispered dissatisfiedly: "Then why are you still tossing like this."

Simon lowered his eyes again, his thoughts seemed to be a little delayed, and whispered: "I just want to confirm something."

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

"verified."

"Confirm what?"

Simon raised his head again, still the harmless smile of human beings and animals, but with a strange apathy in his tone, he said lightly: "It's one leg short."
