1998: The Tide Turns! (4 More)

If you want to talk about power and sex trade, you have to get some evidence.

Are Xia Xiaolan and Harold going to have dinner together, or to open a room? Or did she go to Harold's place for the night?

Total nonsense.

There are neither photos nor videos, what kind of power and sex trade.

Harold went on to deny:

"The c.w architectural design competition does not exist for anyone. The bidding for the Wilson Hotel project in Washington is the result of fair competition, not my personal choice. If you think, I will put tens of millions of dollars in the project because some individuals If the reason was handed over to gmp so hastily, my career would have been utterly ruined."

This is true.

&np If the plan is not done well enough, even if Harold regards Xia Xiaolan as the love of his life, it is impossible for him to hand over the project to gmp office because of her.

As a mature man, Harold knew where his strengths lay.

Career is always a man's most important advantage. Men can sacrifice some interests for women, but for women, they start to joke about their career... This kind of thing, Harold will never do!

"My relationship with Cynthia and Ivan is very bad, it is impossible for me to confide in them, in fact we rarely see each other. Recently my brother Ivan Harold went bankrupt and neither he nor Cynthia are good at managing property , he asked me for financial help and was rejected by me, so I suspect that he and Cynthia may have a grudge and deliberately perjured and damaged my personal reputation."

Harold really didn't save Mrs. Wilson any face.

Why go to cooperate with Xia Xiaolan's career in order to please him?

They don't know each other at all!

Bankrupt poor relatives, if they can't get money, they turn to look for trouble.

Harold's presence is convincing.

The farts of rich people seem to have the scent of money. If rich people like a woman, do they need to cover up?

Harold finished his testimony, and the jury's voice grew louder.

Maybe it was because his aura was too strong, or maybe he threatened to sue the rumor-monger to bankruptcy, but Lisa's lawyer Miles didn't dare to ask more tricky questions!

Miles filed for adjournment!

The trial has been going on all morning.

The judge decided to reconvene at 2 p.m.

The plaintiff and the defendant did not eat or drink, and the judge and others had to eat.

Xia Xiaolan stayed in the rest area, surrounded by people who cared about her.

I didn't expect Harold to testify in court, which caught Lisa and others by surprise.

"Will Xiaolan win?"

Liu Fen seeks approval from Hu Ying.

She felt that the tide had turned, but she was not so sure.

Hu Ying nodded affirmatively, "I will definitely win. The other side is attacking Xiaolan's side with questionable testimony. If there is no power and sex trade, Xiaolan's side's evidence is more than sufficient."

Even if Mond hasn't appeared in court yet, Hu Ying is not afraid.

The same words Miles used to question Tina can also be used to ask Mond: Did you see Lisa draw the design?

On Xia Xiaolan's side, there are Matthew and Kissinger to testify. As long as the testimony of these two people is not questioned, they will play a very important role in the evidence chain!

Daughter Wen Manni has been a lawyer for many years, and Hu Ying is also familiar with the lawsuit. She has a good understanding of the lawsuit. She thinks that Xia Xiaolan has a good chance of winning.

...

"Mrs Wilson, you said that Harold could not appear in court—"

"Then he is in court, can I still stop him?"

Mrs. Wilson did not save Miles face either:

"Can you still win this case? You can't win because your lawyer is not good enough. Don't blame me for the fault! I'm tired, I have to go back to rest!"

Her testimony had come close to saying that.

Originally, she wanted to emphasize that during the renovation of the theater, she only communicated with Lisa.

Now that Harold suddenly appeared, denying everything she had said, Mrs. Wilson felt irritated. If the case can't be won and Xia Xiaolan can't be taught a lesson, isn't everything she does thankless?

She and Ivan wanted Harold to return to America, but not so uncontrollably.

Tina will have a problem with what she testified in court today.

Mrs. Wilson thought of this and looked for Tina everywhere.

Miles called her several times, but she ignored it.

Lisa's face was not good, Miles comforted her, "And Mr. Mond, Mr. Mond's testimony is very important!"

Mond?

Lisa didn't have much confidence.

Mond has long said that he must not be involved in this matter. In the afternoon, when Mond testified in court, Lisa didn't know what he would say - if the lawsuit could win, Mond would not hesitate to help her, and if the lawsuit could not win, Mond would just abandon her.

Lisa thought so, and she looked up and saw Mond.

Mond came, followed by his daughter Heidi.

"Mr. Mond—"

"I heard that the trial was not going well, and the other side had a heavyweight witness to appear in court."

Mond stopped after saying this.

Although he was in the lounge, he was very cautious, and what was on his mind could not be said in front of Lisa and Miles.

...

The people outside the courthouse were still there.

Those who support Xia Xiaolan, support Li

Sa, are still sticking to it, including reporters.

Today's trial actually lasted from morning to afternoon. I don't know if there will be a result today. The case is very complicated, and I thought the sentence would be pronounced soon. Those who support Lisa are thinking that Xia Xiaolan really has a deep background, and the lawsuit is very difficult to fight. Those who support Xia Xiaolan also feel that the US law is unfair and bully the Chinese people.

There are great opinions on both sides.

Before the trial, Xia Xiaolan also presented them with a difficult problem. After a long time of selection, she chose a design that she thought was good, but did not dare to make a statement. Those who supported Lisa were afraid that they would choose Xia Xiaolan's work. It would be too embarrassing, too embarrassing. ——

Xia Xiaolan didn't care whether those people were embarrassed or not.

She didn't bring this embarrassment to these people. She wanted to be deceived by Lisa because of her simple-mindedness. Does Xia Xiaolan really respect everyone?

That is to divide these people, to appease these people, and to disintegrate the pressure these people create on the court trial!

The noon break was soon over, and Xia Xiaolan hoped to end the lawsuit in the afternoon.

Eric said it wasn't a big problem.

"Professor McCarthy is our lore."

"We can't pin all our hopes on the professor. I hope you make what I prepare useful."

Eric glanced at her, "You're too humble, that's your own idea, not my wisdom."

After a brief exchange between the two, the afternoon trial officially began.

This time, it's Professor McCarthy who wants to tell everyone a story!

The story that Miles tells is about the power and sex trade and the appropriation of Lisa's works by interns.

The story told by McCarthy is also very exciting. He is a Pritzker Prize winner who is narrow-minded and does not want to see a Chinese student in his early life. In addition, the Chinese student has offended the wife of the famous architect, so the Pritzker Prize winner , crazy revenge against Chinese students - this story, the judge and jury will absolutely love it!

evidence?

There is no solid evidence.

Everyone is selling stories and playing emotional cards, so let's see who tells them well.

The story of the power and sex trade has been broken. Now it is Professor McCarthy's turn to perform. This is really inconsistent with McCarthy's character. No matter what Mond does, McCarthy will never tell what Mond did to win the public's sympathy. He won't do it for himself, but he will do it for Xia Xiaolan——

On the witness stand, Professor McCarthy told the "story".

In the auditorium, Mao Kangshan touched his nose.

McCarthy really likes his apprentice a little bit, but don't think that he will give up his apprentice to the other party, no way!
