He pursed his lips and couldn&#8217;t make up his mind. William&#8217;s words were the same as the top lawyer he hired from abroad. Ellison could not win the lawsuit at all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He could only do his best to reduce his loss, but what&#8217;s the difference between William and those lawyers?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;It seems that you have no idea about this little trouble too.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Since it&#8217;s a small problem, of course there are solutions.&#8221; William casually replied. The &#8220;old fox&#8221; wanted to get the solutions by taunting him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Ellison was a little surprise, but William didn&#8217;t say it out. Now he was not easy to ask him again.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Alan also saw the expression on his friend&#8217;s face, and he said amiably, &#8220;William, since you have ideas, it&#8217;s better to say it and help Uncle Ellison.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Yeah, Uncle Ellison took good care of me when I was a child. You can tell him.&#8221; Angie heard that they were just small troubles for William. She who wanted William to perform well also urged him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Ha, small troubles. Alan wanted him to deal with the case that involved dozens of people&#8217;s lives &#8212; need only a slight effort.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;As long as you are willing to appease the lower level, how can they cause these troubles?&#8221; It was OK if Ellison wanted his help. But he didn&#8217;t know whether he would like to pay for it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was not surprising that Ellison suddenly became a little stiff. What William said was the most difficult way. He would lose a lot of money.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But it could keep his company&#8217;s reputation and image.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In contrast, the money was not worth mentioning, but Ellison was still deeply distressed by such a large number of money. He still said gratefully, &#8220;You are indeed the invincible lawyer in the city. I admire you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William smiled as a response. There was no fluctuation in his indifferent eyes.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Others saw Ellison suddenly became polite to William, they became silent.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Next was the things no more than making a toast to each other on the scene and a few compliments.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Alan looked at William thoughtfully.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie was the happiest here. It seemed that her father and her several uncles were very satisfied with William&#8217;s performance. She had said that she had a good taste. William was the best man.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The party was almost over. Angie watched Alan leave with William. There were only two of them in the empty place.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;William, where&#8230; where are we going?&#8221; Angie intentionally drank a lot of wines in the party tonight. Now, her face became red and was like peach blossom. She had a charming look and her voice was soft and weak.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William&#8217;s cool voice said lightly, &#8220;I will send you back.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie frowned, leaned on William&#8217;s arms and exhaled as orchid, &#8220;Honey, I want to stay with you tonight.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What she said was so clear, William should understand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William glanced at the coquettish woman in his arms and held her up with no distractions. He said in a calm voice, &#8220;Angie, you are drunk.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;&#8230;&#8221; Angie was anxious. She was not drunk, and she was very sober. Anyway, William must stay tonight.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;William, well, take me back first.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Going back didn&#8217;t mean that he couldn&#8217;t stay. Her father wouldn&#8217;t go back tonight. Her mother went back to her mother&#8217;s place. Tonight, there were only two of them.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William pretended that he didn&#8217;t know Angie&#8217;s plan and sent Angie back to without staying.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie, who pretended to be drunk, froze for a moment, and saw that William had quickly walked out of the gate. She suddenly stood up from the sofa and hugged William&#8217;s back.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Honey, don&#8217;t go, stay with me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie said almost imploringly. Why did he ignore her hints? Is the smell of pillows in his apartment really important to him?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I&#8217;ll read a copy tonight. You can go to bed early.&#8221; His heart won&#8217;t be softened.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;William, don&#8217;t you really love me?&#8221; Angie turned to him. No man could resist such a weak and helpless woman.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She could feel that William&#8217;s back became stiff, and she knew that William would not be so cruel to her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;William&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William was not softened, but a little shaky. The woman in front of him seemed to be another person. That stubborn woman who was not easy to shed tears. Slowly, his eyes became clear again.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Gently loosing her hand, he said, &#8220;Angie, if you want to repair the feelings between us, don&#8217;t be too radical.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Finish saying, he stepped over the side of Angie, and went into the boundless darkness.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After a while, there was a sound of engine outside the door, and the car disappeared at the gate of Angie&#8217;s house.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie sat on the ground and looked at the figure to disappear. So, still can&#8217;t she?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The coolness on the ground penetrated her body bit by bit. No, she could not let him go. She must find out the woman in his apartment.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And William didn&#8217;t refuse completely, did he? He just didn&#8217;t want sex with her now.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Willian must be still angry. She broke up with him at that time, so he couldn&#8217;t be with her so soon.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She would try to make William fall in love with herself again.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   On the other side, Vivian, who was sent back by that man, sat on the sofa, liked a criminal waiting for execution. She knew that she would die, but had to wait for death in fear.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   This mental torture was more terrible than death.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Drriinnggg!&#8221; &#8220;Drriinnggg!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Two quick cell phone rings made her scared. He finally came. She picked up her mobile phone and took a look. Seeing John&#8217;s name, she was relieved.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Hello&#8230; John&#8230; What&#8217;s wrong?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, tell me the floor you are on. I&#8217;ll come up to see you.&#8221; John&#8217;s car was parked downstairs of the apartment. He tried hard to search for that image from the lights of thousands of homes.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian, with one foot, looked down from the thick curtain seams. John was downstairs. She was moved and a little nervous.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William knew where she lived. What if he met John? She couldn&#8217;t let John get involved in it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;John, I&#8217;ve already slept. It&#8217;s so late. You&#8217;d better go back.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, I know you didn&#8217;t sleep. Why did you hide from me? Because of him?&#8221; John, half leaning on the car, said to the woman over the phone dispiritedly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He was not stupid. He could tell the sound of sleeping.   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ellison&#8217;s expression suddenly changed. He pursed his lips and couldn&#8217;t make up his mind.
