My dear lawyer

Chapter 280 Elope, to Be Exact

“Splash--” A cup of water was pouring on the girl’s head.

Angie smashed the transparent cup to the ground. She ordered calmly with an unchanged expression,

“Pick them up.”

The atmosphere became frozen and tense all of a sudden.

The others all lowered their heads in silence and worried about that reckless girl secretly.

The drenched girl was dumbfounded and exclaimed after she reacted, “What did I do wrong? Why did

you pour water on me? Even if you’re a daughter of a rich family, you can’t be unreasonable. You can

trample on others’ dignity because you're wealthy.”

“Pick them up, or not?” Angie only gave her two choices, impassive.

That warm-hearted woman wanted to mediate the dispute. But the person nearby stopped her,

suggesting that she shouldn’t act on impulse.

Of course, that girl was reluctant to surrender and answered firmly, “I won’t pick them up. It’s your

fault.”

Angie sneered and ignored the defender. She snapped her fingers in the air. Soon, two men came

upstairs.

They bowed to her respectfully. “Miss Angie, is there anything I can do for you?”

“Take her to the steward.” Angie pointed at that girl. She would teach the girl how to survive in society.

Money couldn’t solve anything. But humans couldn’t do anything without money.

Money-disdaining men didn’t exist at all.

“Yes, Miss Angie.” The two male servants nodded and walked toward the girl.

“No, you can’t do this to me.” The girl shook her head with fear and realized how humble her sense of

justice was in front of power and money.

However, no matter how hard she struggled, she was still carried downstairs. At the moment she was

dragged downstairs, Angie said to the girl indifferently, “Remember. You’re just a pest living

underground. Don’t expect justice and truth.”

Bitches weren’t worthy of justice, like Vivian. As long as she moved her finger, Vivian could die

miserably.

The girl wanted to beg for mercy. But they didn’t give her chances and directly dragged her downstairs. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The other servants could only hear her fading cry.

“Who’d like to pick up the glass?” Angie flickered over them and stared at one woman.

Everyone suddenly stiffened their backs. The target was the woman who tried to beg for the girl. She

said with fear, “Miss Angie, please don’t be mad. It’s on me. I can pick them up.”

Unhappy, Angie glanced at the woman squatting on the ground and said faintly, “Pick them up.”

“Yes, yes.” The woman wasn’t sure if Angie forgave her or not, kneeling and picking up the sharp glass

pieces with fear. Large drops of sweat on her forehead slumped to the ground because of tension.

“Crack--” Shouts of agony echoed in the room. “Ow... It hurts... Argh... My hand...”

The rest all heard that crisp sound and looked ashen. Some with poor psychological quality started to

tremble.

As if she just noticed that she had stepped on someone, Angie apologized to the woman, “Oh, I’m

sorry, for stepping on your hand.”

As she said, Angie trampled more fiercely. The woman’s hand was pierced by the sharp pieces,

bleeding.

Even so, the woman gritted her teeth and endured the pain because she was in dire need of this job.

Her current condition couldn’t find a job with a higher salary. “It’s my fault. I got in your way, Miss

Angie.”

“Hah--” Angie didn’t say anything and stomped out of the room.

As she left, the rest did dare to gasp. The woman was about to faint because of the pain. But she still

bore it.

The other servants didn’t dare to take risks. Who knew whether Angie would come back suddenly

again?

Angie didn’t anticipate what consequences of venting anger were waiting for her.

After Vivian arrived in another country, she lived in a house arranged by John. Appointments with

doctors were made. As long as the hospital was ready, Roe could have surgery directly.

As soon as she turned on the phone, numerous messages popped up, all of which were from Selina

who worried about her so much. Because there were so many messages, Vivian didn’t read them one

by one. Thinking that it might be at midnight in China, she didn’t call back but sent a message to

Selina.

Unexpectedly, less than three minutes after she sent the message, her phone rang.

Vivian answered it. Selina’s sonorous, clear voice came. “Vivi, you finally turned on your phone. I was

so worried.”

“Sorry. I sent you a message as soon as we arrived at our apartment.” Vivian felt warm when hearing

her friend’s concern.

At the moment, Selina held her phone in one hand and an apple in the other, nibbling. She was lying on

the sofa, while an industrious man was massaging her. How pleasant she was. “So, how is my baby?”

Vivian glanced at the boy, who was sleeping deeply on the bed, and answered with a chuckle, “Roe is

fine. He’s tired after taking a flight all night. He’s sleeping.”

“Oh, great. Let me tell you something,” Selina mysteriously whispered to the phone, as if she was

afraid of being heard by a third wheel.

Speechless, that third wheel pressed her harder.

As Vivian was about to ask, she heard her friend’s shout and asked with concern quickly, “Selina,

what's wrong?”

“Nothing. I was just stepped on by a dog.” Selina glared at Grace as if warning him of his strength.

When did Selina keep a dog? Selina got straight to the point. “Selina, what do you want to say?”

“Oh, right, I almost forgot. I just want to remind you that you must be careful abroad. If you see anyone

suspicious, just kick his ass,” Selina said mysteriously.

Vivian thought Selina was afraid that they would be discriminated in a foreign country. After all, there

were few Asians here. Besides, there were clear distinctions in terms of races. “Selina, don’t worry.

Foreign people are easy-going. The place John arranged is tranquil and has a good surrounding. What

you worry about won’t happen.”

“Vivi, what are you talking about? I didn’t mean it.” Hearing it, Selina was startled and instantly realized

that Vivi took it wrong. They weren’t on the same topic.

She said bluntly with patience, “I meant you should beware of William. He knew you ran away with

John.”

According to William, it was “elope”, to be exact.
