Chapter 393
After hanging up the phone, I went out.
Patrick was very busy recently, so I did not disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the ce that I had
appointed with Michael.
After arriving at the gate, I paid the taxi fee and went upstairs to wait for him.
Since it was in the morning, the cafe was almost empty. So I chose a corner, ordered a cup of
coffee, and sat down calmly.
It was only 9:30 a.m.
I sat there, thinking over and over again about how to speak to Michaelter.
If Michael would refuse me or hesitateter, I would have to say something to move him.
I practiced countless versions in my mind.
At 10 a.m. I saw Michael opening the coffee shop''s door. He looked around and saw me, then
strode over to me.

At that time, I was extremely nervous. Whether this matter can be turned around would depend on
this meeting.
Michael sat down, put his briefcase aside, took out a few pieces of paper, put them on the table,
and said, "Miss Nn, this is the information I prepared for the trial. You can take a look. Although
the other party has awyer this time, you can rest assured that I..."
Before I could speak, Michael started to talk about the case of Gina and Jeremy.
I quickly said, "Lawyer Michael, I''m not asking you about this. I''ll entrust it to you."
When Michael heard what I said, he immediately stopped talking and looked at me with a cold
expression.
I took a sip of the coffee in my hand and said, "Actually, this time, I want to invite you to rify..."
"I''m very sorry. Shelton told me not to intervene in this matter. He threatened me that if I interfere, I
would have to shut down myw firm and mywyer''s practice certificate might not be kept."
Michael interrupted me and said.
His words made me don''t know how to continue for a while.
I looked at Michael, opened my mouth, but couldn''t say a word.
Since he already said this, I couldn''t say anything else,
right?
I opened my mouth in a daze and didn''t know what to say for a moment. After a while, I said in a
low voice, "Lawyer Michael, your words are very valuable to me. Can''t you..."
"I''m very sorry." Michael looked at me. His eyes were cold, and his face was full of determination. "I
also have a family to take care of. Although I have a good rtionship with you before, I can''t
destroy my favorite career for an irrelevant person like you."
I was really bewildered by Michael''s words.
Actually, I thought of many possibilities just now, but the only thing that I didn''t expect was that
Shelton would "remind" him.
I didn''t expect that Shelton would really do things so cruelly!
That''s normal. Shelton is not a kind- hearted person. I was naive and negligent.
Things should have always been like this. How could Shelton not have thought of it when it even
came to my mind?!
"Gosh!"
I lowered my head and drank the coffee in front of me. After calming down my mood, I raised my
head again and looked at Michael with a smile. "I see, then the case is entrusted to you and I''ll go
back. As for the other things... I won''t bother you."
Michael nodded. "I''m sorry. I can''t help you with
more things."
He left after saying that.
After paying the bill, I went out subsequently .
I came out from the cafe. There was a group of olddies chatting at a door. I looked up and found
that it was a supermarket. Today, there happened to be a sales promotion in the supermarket, and
many people came for shopping.
Initially, I didn''t notice. After walking a few steps, I heard an olddy next to me say, "Have you
heard the case that the woman sued her parents after almost killed them and killed her sister
recently?"
"I''ve heard of that. That woman has a heart as malicious as snakes!"
"That''s right. I have never seen such a vicious woman in my entire life. How could she do such a
vicious thing to her parents!"
"s, if my child were like this, I would be heartbroken."
"That''s right. My child can''t be like this. I have a filial son. In my opinion, this woman is with a
completely anti-social character!"
Once one person spoke, the other olddies all came over to chat.
I stood there and clenched my fists, trying to control my urge to argue with her. I realized that I
should leave this dangerous ce immediately.
I was in a hurry. Just took two steps forward, I bumped into someone.
"I''m sorry," I apologized with my head down.
The vegetable in the person''s hand was dropped down to the ground as knocked by me.
I quickly squatted down to help her pick it up.
After picking it up, I handed it to her again. "I''m very sorry. I didn''t see you."
"Forget it." The old madam did not mind at first.
In the end, the people next to her looked over at this time. In the crowd, someone shouted, "Hey,
isn''t it the woman in the news? The one who killed her sister!"
Upon hearing that, all the people looked over at me.
All of a sudden, my heart was in my mouth!
When I was about to leave, an olddy suddenly grabbed my arm from behind and said, "Don''t go! I
have never seen such a vicious woman like you in my whole life. Let me see what you look like!"
I was so scared that I shook off her hand forcefully.
The old woman, who caught me, did not stand firmly and fell back.
"Oh! You pushed me over! You''re killing me! Look! She is the woman, who sued her parents! She
killed her sister! She is killing me!"
As she shouted, more and more people gathered around.
For a moment, I was surrounded by them.
I wanted to leave, but a pile of olddies crowded forward as there were sales discounts in the
supermarket, they were forming a human wall that surrounded me.
My way was blocked by the crowd. No matter how hard I tried to squeeze out, I couldn''t make a
single gap in it!
When I was desperate-
"tter!"
I felt a pain in my head.
At the same moment, I heard a crisp sound. I reached out to touch it and felt something sticky
flowing down from my head. I touched it further up, and found it to be round.
I quickly recognized that it was an egg.
When I was so nervous and about to leave, another egg flew over and hit me on the back!
"Hit her!"
The next second, countless eggs suddenly flew towards me!
There were also vegetables!
I was panic- stricken and had no choice but to squat down with my head in my arms.
When I squatted down, I felt that someone had stretched out her foot and kicked me.
Then more and more people began to kick me!
It was so painful.
I heard the sounds of cursing all around. "Look, this is the woman who wanted to kill her parents
and sister!"
"You evil women! We have to teach you a lesson for society!"
"People like you should be dead!"
"Scum!"
"I''ll beat you to death to avenge your parents and your sister!"
"Kill her!"
I just squatted there, and the voices around me came one after another.
My heart, from anger, to panic, to numbness.
In the end, I didn''t even know when this farce would end.
