Chapter 515
The skinny lawyer wanted to say something, but Audrey smiled and said, "That girl has just turned ten years old. She is a minor who knows nothing about the world. It is easy for her to be deceived. As far as I know, the dead intended to insult that mother when he was alive. A ten-year-old child and a single- parent mother belong to vulnerable groups. Many people bully the weak. How can such a person who is worse than a beast be forgiven?"
"But, legally..."
Audrey said coldly, "Other than the law, there is still human nature. Many of the people sitting here have children, and many children among them are underage. I wonder, everyone sitting here, are you willing to watch your children be insulted? That mother did something wrong to protect her child. But if she was not cornered, how could she choose such a wrong way?"
"How could she be cornered? She can call the police."
Audrey lowered her head and chuckled.
"This mother once called the police. But because the other party's actions were not fatal, she was rejected by the police. The police let the other party go after advising him. The police can't solve anything at all. Instead, it will incur even more cruel retaliation. If it was you in the situation, what would you choose?"
The skinny lawyer was silent.
Right now, many criminals were extremely good at taking advantage of the loopholes in the law. If one's evil deeds didn't constitute a crime, he wouldn't get the punishment he deserved. That was why there were so many unfair things in this society. Many people chose to endure, but some couldn't.
After Audrey finished speaking, the others present all fell silent.
That mother had once called the police, and she must have begged others. But no one helped her, because those people were unwilling to get into trouble.
This was the indifference of modern society.
Bryson and Lance sat in their seats, their gazes both chasing after Audrey. Cordell was talking to the others, and the topic was naturally about Audrey. Cordell proudly introduced Audrey to others, saying that Audrey was his student.
Bryson glanced at Lance indifferently.
"I didn't expect Mr. Brook to hire Cordell as your legal advisor."
Lance's company had been established for half a month, but he had become the new leader of Peace City.
Lance had an evil smile on his face. He held a wine glass and took a sip of wine. He smiled and revealed two rows of white teeth, "This is all thanks to Mr. Bryson."
Bryson glanced at him.
"Me?"
Lance nodded, "That's right. If not for the cooperation between the Cordova Group and my company some time ago, my company would not have developed to what it is now. Mr. Fenton saw my sincerity, so he agreed to be my company's legal advisor. Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Bryson."
Bryson squinted.
Lance looked at Bryson with an evil smile and said, "By the way, I'm afraid that Miss Jade and I will meet often in the future. Mr. Bryson shouldn't mind it, right?"
Bryson smiled faintly, "Of course not."
When Bryson finished speaking, his eyes flashed a trace of viciousness.
Bryson thought, 'Lance wants to scheme against me. Does he think that I'm just a decoration?'
Lance raised his wine glass and took a sip. "Back then, I gave up because Miss Jade liked Mr. Bryson. But why did I hear that Mr. Bryson's mother was not very satisfied with Miss Jade?"
"This has nothing to do with Mr. Brook, right?"
Lance smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. However, if Mr. Bryson's family doesn't accept Miss Jade, please separate from Miss Jade as soon as possible to avoid harming each other."
"Thank you, Mr. Brook, for your concern for my girlfriend. But I will have to disappoint Mr. Brook. Audrey and I will never separate."
"Let's wait and see!"
Audrey came back from the group of lawyers. When she felt that the atmosphere between Lance and Bryson was a little strange, she was a bit worried.
When she wasn't around, did something happen to the two?
How did they always make her worry?
Audrey had just walked over. Before she could ask Bryson anything, Cordell had already pulled her over to introduce her to other people in the legal profession.
While Audrey and Cordell were dealing with the person in front of them, Audrey had sharp eyes and saw a female lawyer walk to Bryson.
The female lawyer had a good figure. She was beautiful and her voice was extremely delicate.
The female lawyer raised to look greedily at Bryson's handsome face.
"Mr. Bryson, haven't seen you for a long time!"
Audrey, who was standing not far away, frowned slightly.
For a long time?
Could it be that Bryson knew that female lawyer?
Audrey hadn't even gotten angry when she heard Bryson say, "Do I know you?"
Audrey was speechless.
The female lawyer was speechless, too.
The lawyer was awkward. However, as a lawyer, she was naturally able to control her facial expression well. After calming herself down, she smiled and said, "We once met at a dinner party. At that time, I almost fell. It was Mr. Bryson who helped me."
Audrey thought to herself, 'Bryson actually helped her. He did the whole hero thing.'
Generally, after a hero saved a beauty, he would get favors from the beauty.
Audrey narrowed her eyes and waited for him to continue the talk.
"It's not ringing any bells with me," Bryson said.
The female lawyer was speechless again.
Seeing that Bryson was so stubborn, the lawyer continued to say, "Although you don't remember what happened that day, I still remember everything and I always want to express my gratitude in person!"
As she spoke, she blushed shyly. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Lance interrupted with a smile, "What will happen after you thank Mr. Bryson? Do you still want to have dinner with Mr. Bryson?"
The lawyer's eyes lit up. She said, "That's even better. I can invite Mr. Bryson to..."
Without finishing speaking, she was interrupted by Lance's teasing words.
"Next, it will be better to order a room in the hotel opposite the restaurant, right?"
The female lawyer's expression changed slightly as she sized up Lance.
Although what Lance had said was exactly what she had hoped for, now that Lance had targeted her in front of so many people, which made her feel very humiliated.
"Sir, what you said is too much!" She looked at Bryson with a sincere expression and explained somewhat anxiously, "Mr. Bryson, don't listen to him. I have never thought of that."
"You mean to say that you have never liked Mr. Bryson and never wanted to have anything to do with him, right?" Lance asked.
When the female lawyer looked at Lance, there was a little anger in her eyes.
She thought, 'What's wrong with this man? Why is he always targeting me? Isn't it too much?
Even if I have any improper thoughts about Bryson, it has nothing to do with him.'
