Sitting in the Study, having slipped away from Lu Jingho Jane Gang sat pondering the wealth of evidence that had been given to them Friday afternoon.? While she just about had everything, she could use to discredit Lu Jinhu's statement and the video footage the National Prosecutors provided more damning evidence that had only come into their hands in the previous week.
They had anticipated the gambit about analysis of the video footage, and their experts combined with a further statement from Lu Jinhu was able to deal with the one issue that they could raise with it.? But even worse was the other statements obtained.? Firstly, from hotel staff that confirmed his slipping away from the function and the length of time he was absent.? However, the worst piece of evidence was the statement from the one person Lu Jingho had always reassured her that would not turn against him.
Having spent Friday afternoon, and to prevent the distractions of the fun activities at the Mansion even Saturday working to try and figure out how to deal with this, Jane had come to the conclusion that she had no option but to recommend to Lu Jingho to strike a deal on all the charges quickly.? That was confirmed with discussions yesterday with other members of the team.? The worst one to deal with, naturally was the senior partner, as he wanted s*xual activities in his office before agreeing to discuss anything.? However, his conclusion was the same as everyone else.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click FreeWebNovel.Com for visiting.
As his lawyer, she always had to ensure that she could achieve the best outcome for her client.? That meant she had to recommend to him that he strike a deal as quickly as possible on the matters.? While that went against her instincts as a lawyer her ultimate responsibility always is to look after the best interests of the client.? Striking that deal would ensure the minimisation of any jail time let along any other penalties for him, and that was in his best interests.
The outcome of that professional decision, as she knew would have personal impacts.? The outcome was that sooner than she had planned she would have to forgo all the pleasures that her relationship with Lu Jingho had given her or given her access to.? But, at the same time it benefited her need for revenge with what happened to Belinda.? She could bring about the Lu's financial destruction through triggering the compensation clause in her registered relationship agreement with Lu Jingho as soon as she wanted after his jailing.
She always knew that that financial destruction would be a petty revenge for the damage Lu Jingho had done, but some revenge was better than nothing.? The only thing was to finalise the arrangements with David to the charity in Belinda's name to manage the money and help people like her.
As she was deep in thought Lu Jingho walked into his study and could observe that his lover who had abandoned their bed was not only deep in thought but troubled.? She had no reason to as they were in control of the situation and he would get what he wanted, freedom from the matters, and a pretty woman with a matching s*xual appetite as him in his bed and under his control for years to come.
"Why did you leave.? You know we had plans to stay in bed for the day given you abandoned me yesterday."
"Speaking of yesterday ..."
"Forget it.? You were stuck dealing with matters relating to my case.? It should be a good Christmas as you have worked hard and we have gotten rid of so much, and the bulk of the rest of the charges will be thrown out."
"Speaking of that, it may not be as simple as you think."
"Jane it will be.? You know we have the evidence to show that all this is a conspiracy against me, and that so-called evidence from my son can be discredited.? All that leaves are a few minor matters, and none of them have any significant penalties attached."
Jane was frustrated.? Lu Jingho did not take the hint that there was a looming disaster in the case.? "Sit down.? I need to be serious for a few minutes.? You either need to listen to me and accept what I have to say, or I have to call some of the other members of the team. We spend most of Friday and all of yesterday getting to the point of this recommendation."
"That you want me to sue Hou Yi and Hou Corporation.? Bring it on.? He deserves to go down, and I will get what I always should have had."
