Hollywood Hunter

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

These days, after waking up, I would habitually ding ding dong dong a few times on the piano in my cousin’s room, knocking out a string of "Wild Bees Flying" notes, and then running to help my aunt prepare breakfast.

Leave the room and walk to the kitchen as usual.

Uncle was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, noticed her coming out, and greeted casually: "Morning, Jenny."

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

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

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

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

"Hehe, isn't there Carl?"

"Carl is just too shy and doesn't like dealing with people. By the way, did he get up?"

"I didn't see it."

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

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

My aunt helped her pour the milk and handed it over, and then asked the opposite uncle: "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."

"This is your women'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."

She suddenly laughed.

My aunt pretended to be angry and knocked on the head of the little cousin: "What do you say about your father."

Uncle just smiled, but turned to her again: "Jenny, this is a very interesting case. Let's go 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 at her uncle's office. At this time, when her uncle said so, she nodded immediately: "Okay."

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

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

What if five hits one?

She thought to her, but she was worried that she would act for the five beating **** today.

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

Only then did he relax, so he asked, "Uncle, what happened."

"The result," the uncle smiled and sold a small pass before saying: "All of the five youths had a leg broken, severely comminuted fractures, and one of them lost seven teeth. The boy who was attacked was actually Just suffered some minor injuries."

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

"Oh, let's go 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 attorney George Norman. He is very good. He will definitely help us clean up those rubbish. Oh, George, this is Simon, Simon Westero."

Simon Westeros.

I immediately remembered the name.

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

Without waiting for her uncle's recommendation, she stepped forward generously, stretched out her hand to him, and said, "Hello, this is Jennifer Rebald."

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

Jennifer Rebold nodded, with some surprise, said: "Yes."

Raybould (Raybould) is a variant of Rainbow.

Unexpectedly, he knew this kind of rare little knowledge, but he didn't know the origin of ‘Westero’. It seemed that he had to look it up carefully when he returned.

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

Thinking of this, she continued to shake hands with Janet Johnston next to her and greeted her. It suddenly occurred to me 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 were so close. It was obvious that ordinary friends would not be so dedicated to accompany the other person in bed.

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

Simon also cooperated as much as possible.

After talking like this for more than half an hour, George Norman left temporarily, intending to communicate with the police in charge of the case.

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

However, it hadn't been quiet for long, a knock on the door sounded, and a response was received, and a tall middle-aged man wearing rimless glasses walked in.

"Mr. Westeros?" The middle-aged man confirmed a sentence, and took the initiative to hand over his business card, saying: "I am Derek Wheeler, Mark Stein and others' attorney."

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

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

Derek Wheeler didn’t pay attention to Janet’s indifference, but he did not sit down. He still stood beside Simon’s bed, with a bit of condescension, and said, “Mr. Westeros, after communicating with my client, I found that, When they have lost the ability to resist, you still commit violent harm to them. This is a very serious crime of intentional harm. If this matter goes to court, you will also face jail. Moreover, I still know you. He is a very promising film writer. He has just signed a contract with Fox Pictures. If things go wrong, it may ruin your personal career."

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

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

Simon thought for a moment, and just about to speak, the door was knocked again, and attorney George Norman brought Jennifer Rebald back to him again.

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

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

Derek Wheeler looked stiff, and said after a moment: "George, this is really surprising. However, I am only representing my client and want to resolve this matter in a peaceful way. Your client may not. Was beaten first, but also had a very serious defensive behavior. Therefore, my client hopes that this matter can be reconciled."

Janet heard the words and said immediately: "Reconciliation? Ha, that's not what the woman said last night. Aren't they going to investigate to the end? Do I want to stay with me?"

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

In the final analysis, this matter was still on the boy in front of him.

Simon lowered his gaze and was silent for a moment. Then he said to Derek Wheeler: "For half a million dollars, I need to see the check before noon, and this will stop here. Otherwise, I will sue them for murder."

When Simon said something, everyone in the ward was taken aback.

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

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

Jennifer Rebald looked at the boy on the bed, her expression a little disappointed.

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

George Norman paused and nodded: "Of course."

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

He originally hoped to get a settlement for his client without owing each other, but he didn't expect the boy to ask for half a million dollars, which is not a small amount of money. However, this is precisely within the scope of another customer's commitment.

That customer now hopes that the matter can be closed quickly.

Moreover, if the boy starts to sue Mark Stein and others for murder, the five youths will obviously not be willing to bear such a serious charge, and it is likely that the customer will also be involved.

Things will get bigger then.

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

With that said, Derek Wheeler said goodbye and left Simon's ward.

Then, the atmosphere in the room became stalemate.

George Norman didn't expect things to turn so fast. Looking at Janet, who was sitting with her back to Simon, the little **** the other side of the hospital bed, he had to say, "Miss Johnston, in this case, let's say goodbye. If necessary, we will come back at noon."

Janet did not speak.

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

"This is my job," George Norman nodded, and pulled 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, he had to take the initiative: "Jenny, do you want to listen to the joke?"

"..."

"How about I sing a song for you?"

"..."

"I'm planning to make a movie recently. Would you like to come here for a guest appearance?"

"..."

After coaxing like this for a while, to no avail, Simon could only give up.

Near noon, Catherine, who had rested for several hours, rushed to the hospital again. Janet, who hadn't spoken to Simon for more than an hour, immediately began to file a complaint, accusing Simon of being a poor worm who wanted money and no spine.

Before Catherine had time to ask more, Derek Wheeler returned, bringing a check for $500,000 and a settlement agreement.

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

Attorney George Norman seriously 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 threw the cheque left by the other party to Simon without forgetting to ridicule: "Well, you are now a rich man. Are you satisfied?"

Simon didn't say anything. He picked up the check on the bed sheet and looked down in silence for a moment, then handed it to the woman sitting next to him, saying, "Catherine, find a charity and donate this money."

Catherine took the check in a daze: "Huh?"

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

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

Simon looked at Janet on the other side of the hospital bed and smiled and said, "I can't ask for this money, otherwise Janet won't care about me again."

Janet curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Then why do you bother so much."

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

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

"verified."

"Confirm what?"

Simon looked up again, still with the harmless smile of humans and animals, but with a strange indifference in his tone, and said lightly: "There is still a leg short."
