Heart Hunting

Chapter 6

In the office hall, there are some papers and office supplies scattered on the floor, which looks a little

messy. It is not as tidy as when she just came in.

A woman in her 30s with a little boy sits on the coffee table in the hall and shouts, "Arno, how much

money did you get from John Duncan to help this heartless man bully us!”

Her eyes are filled with resentment, glancing all the people present, and she says angrily, "Every one of

you in the profession of lawyers has no conscience. As long as you can get money, you're even willing

to kill people or set fire, aren't you?”

“Mom...” The little boy may be the first time to see his mother like this. He is so afraid that he pulls a

corner of her clothes.

The woman looks down at her son, and suddenly her tears fall down. She holds her son and cries.

"Calvin, look at these people, they helped your dad bully us and drove us out of the house...”

Poppy listens to her plaintive cry, his eyebrows tightens, and walks over with a cold face.

She glances at a female staff member which holds a cup in her hand. She takes it, goes to the woman

and splashes the water on her face.

“Ah!” The woman exclaims, her tears and water mixes together. She gets angry and looks at the

woman in front of her.

She has bright eyes, and the perfect face is cold, like it is covered with frost. The woman stares at

poppy warily. "Who the hell are you? Why do you throw water on me?”

Poppy takes out a business card and throw it scornfully at her and says, "I'm the lawyer of this firm."

She gives a slight pause, walks up with her hands around, and says sarcastically, "Throwing water on

you is to make you sober. It's merciful not to ask the security guard to throw you out.”

"You, you..." The woman trembles with rage, and glances around. She says angrily, "You are all in

collusion with John Duncan. You want to drive us to the dead end! You all will be cursed!”

Poppy takes a step closer, with a sense of chill all over her body, which scares the woman.

Her sharp eyes narrows and says trenchantly. “It's you who are not willing to be lonely. You find a man

outside and have children with him. Your behavior is enough to violate the regulation that husband and

wife should be loyal to each other according to the marriage law. If the circumstances are serious and

involve the crime of bigamy, you should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two

years, or criminal detention. Smart people will not over the legal boundaries. But you ignore or even

trample on it, you can't blame others.”

The woman's heart has a shock. She looks at the female lawyer who is confidently criticizing her. For a

little moment, she feels guilty.

But after a while, she straightens her back, and her shrew's momentum comes back. "Do you think I NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

am the only one like this? John Duncan is also chasing after women. We play separately. Why should

all the property be awarded to him? I didn't get any money! I still have my son. What am I going to do?”

Poppy doesn't bother to talk to her, she sneers, "If you don't agree with the verdict, you can appeal, but

if you continue to make trouble in the office, I can sue you for violating the law of public security

administration," she says with a sharp glance, "Oh, by the way, if the circumstance is serious, you will

be detained for more than 10 days, are you sure you want to continue to make trouble here?”

When the woman hears this, she is frightened in the heart, but is still angry and unwilling to give in. She

bites her teeth and says, "Don't frighten me with the law. Do you think I would be...”

“Jeremy!” Poppy snaps in, "Call the police.”

"Yes.” Jeremy immediately picks up the phone on his desk and is about to press the number.

The woman sees that they are serious, she gets flustered, swallows her saliva and points at them, “... I

will come again!”

Then she picks up the child and walks away without looking back.

Watching her go away, the chill in Poppy's eyes slowly fades.

And Arno, who has been paying attention to the outside, comes out with clapping and looks at Poppy

admiringly, "Good job, Poppy!”

Poppy gives him a light look and says nothing.

Arno comes up to her. He gathers all the people in the law firm, and solemnly introduces, "This is

Poppy. She just came back from New York, and will join our firm and work with you in the future.”

“Welcome, Poppy.”

...

Poppy doesn't respond to their enthusiasm, she just nods and says, "I'm Poppy, and I have to declare

in advance that I am a strict person. I can't tolerate low-level mistakes. So I hope you will be careful for

your work in the future, because I like people with brains.”

Her sharp words warn everyone in advance.

The sunlight comes in through the window and lights on her. In this early summer season, everything

will be restart.
