Chapter 376 Hype
There were no surprises in the next step. Two hours later, the jury made a verdict in favor of the plaintiff Muriel Lan. The judge ruled that Charlie and Yvonne need to return 2 million Dollar lotto winnings.
After the judge announced that he was leaving the court, Yifang escaped from the court at lightning speed, and even the reporters who surrounded the court door did not have time to stop her.
Reluctant reporters turned around and blocked Charlie, who could not catch up, at the entrance of the corridor. In the chaos, only Hannah quietly followed the poor girl under Jack's reminder.
——
"By the Hudson River? It's okay. Just be safe." Jack hung up the phone, met Aunt Didi's concerned gaze, and quickly comforted him.
"That girl is fine. Hannah is following her. She is at the dock by the river at the moment."
The only people with him at the moment, except a few elderly people, Wesley and the black reporter Dupree , as well as the plaintiff’s lawyer, Harvey Spector and his assistant Mike Ross.
A few people gathered in the suite of the Plaza Hotel at this time. Although the one Jack and Hannah rented was not a top-notch presidential suite, the large living room was still enough to accommodate so many people, and it would not appear to be any cramped.
The two suits looked a little embarrassed. Aunt Didi didn't give them a good look just now, although in terms of their work, they did a good job just now.
But when a woman is unreasonable, she is still an old lady with white hair, so even if she gets a few looks, they can only accept it.
It took almost an hour and a half for everyone to communicate about Joe Mason's case. Harvey and Mike officially accepted the commission. Bald Frank directly signed a check for US$120,000 as a reward. attorney fees.
Seeing that the business was done, Jack poured everyone a glass of golden sherry and wished everyone success.
But Aunt Didi was a little gloomy, obviously worried about the pair of fateful mandarin ducks. Reporter Dupree also looked at Jack unblinkingly, seeming to be asking whether the little agreement between the two yesterday was still going on. No more counting.
Jack first told everyone about the situation he and Hannah investigated yesterday, including what he encountered at the "Yifang Coffee Shop" after disguising himself, and what he saw and heard in the bar at night.
The two lawyers who had just put away the check looked at each other. Although Harvey's prosecution strategy in court was just a strategy, all for the sake of winning the case, tomorrow's newspaper headlines could be foreseen.
All kinds of words such as "money digger", "scammer" and even "slut" will be used on Charlie and Yifang.
No matter how materialistic and money-oriented this city is, basic and simple moral values still exist in the hearts of the general public.
When I think of two good people with hearts as pure as gold, they were splashed with dirty water because of their "helping others to do evil". From then on, they became the objects of being reviled and fell into the dust.
Even though he has been in the vanity fair for many years, Harvey, who has long been well versed in the secrets of darkness, is still on pins and needles.
"Maybe we should do something for them. At least we can't just watch them go bankrupt, right?" Mike looked at Harvey and whispered.
The latter scratched his delicate hairstyle into a bird's nest with some irritation, then looked up at the ceiling without saying a word.
"Maybe I can try Jack's disguise method yesterday." Reporter Dupree thought hard for a long time and put forward his idea.
"I will dress up as a tramp, visit the 'Yifang Coffee Shop', and then record what these kind-hearted people did and publish a clarifying report." "I can use a third party Although it can't help Charlie and Yifang keep the coffee shop, it can at least prevent them from going bankrupt." After Harvey finished speaking, he breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Little Jack, you must have a better way, don't you?" Unlike Didi who was always concerned, Old Hunter's attention was always on a certain guy who was snickering.
His words shocked everyone. Jack, who was leisurely holding a "Cannon" cigar and smelling it, suddenly became the focus of attention.
"Why don't I tell you a story first? I can't verify the authenticity of this story, but it gave me some inspiration."
Jack smiled mysteriously, it was Hannah who helped him yesterday" The idea he came up with after "opening up" his thoughts came from a real case that happened in his previous life.
“There was once a lonely mother and daughter. The girl was diagnosed with 'eye cancer' soon after she was born. The scientific name is retinoblastoma. This disease can be cured in the early stage, but it takes a long time. money.
But the mother’s income from her daily job can barely support herself. It is impossible for her to save so much, and she doesn’t have any relatives or friends around her who can help. "
"This mother asked for help everywhere, but hit a wall everywhere. The help posts she posted on the Internet did not attract much attention, because in any hospital, you can find a dozen unfortunate people with similar experiences.
Luckily, however, a guy who was good at hyping up news topics came to her and proposed a whimsical plan. "
Jack picked up the wine glass, moistened his throat and continued.
"So one day, this mother appeared in a local square with a lot of traffic, holding her sick daughter in her arms. On the street, he knelt all the way towards the hospital, quickly attracting crowds of passers-by and interviews from media reporters. ”
"Then their story attracted attention and help from well-wishers?" Reporter Dupree frowned, feeling that this story of misfortune seemed too common. What kind of inspiration could this be?
“Of course it’s not that simple. When the reporter asked the mother why she knelt down while holding her daughter, she told the reporter that she did this because someone responded to her request for help on the Internet. .
He claimed to be a rich second generation who was not short of money, but he wanted to test the mother. He claimed in the post that as long as the mother could kneel all the way from the square to the hospital, he would be willing to spend a fortune. Big money."
"Faq, this guy is a genius!" Reporter Dupree exclaimed and slapped his thigh hard, waking up.
Everyone present understood the story Jack told.
"After only a few days of public opinion fermentation, while the angry people condemned the rich second generation, the mother's experience also received donations from many sympathizers, and finally succeeded in raising sufficient medical expenses."
< br>"Of course, there are further developments to this story. The guy who planned this hype caused quite a lot of controversy and does not seem to be a kind person. However, as far as this plan is concerned, its success provides me with a good idea. "Inspiration"
