[Titanic] Harbor

Erica went back to finish the garden with the hostess here.Someone else stepped in to discuss something with the hostess, and she took the opportunity to get away and enjoy her own good time.

Erica is sitting at the dining table under the parasol. The flowers in the garden are fragrant, and some sunlight shines on the guests through the hazy parasol. It will make people feel warm, but it will not be sunburned. The girls take good care of it skin.

Erica leaned back on the chair and comfortably gave herself a piece of rose puff pastry.She put a little honey in her share of rose dew, and enjoyed the afternoon tea time to entertain herself.

This lady seems to be very fond of roses.From the original body's memory of rose cultivation, she was sure that the cultivation of these roses did not live up to its owner, Mrs. Rose's reputation.

"Miss Erica. Long time no see." There were always people who couldn't see Erica entertaining herself. This lady blocked the sunlight around Erica and shrouded her in her own shadow.

Erika put down the delicate bone china cup, and she looked up at this sudden appearance—Elizabeth Hockley.

Her formulaic smile gradually faded, and finally stayed on a mocking smile. "Is there anything you can do with me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you." Elizabeth attracted Erica's attention, and she naturally sat on the wicker chair opposite Erica. "I always feel that the relationship between us will not be where we are today."

"This is very interesting. I would like to hear more about it." Erica raised her eyebrows.The arrogance between her brows was vividly reflected by this expression.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you. Although I don't know what method you used, the vacancy in the Dalton family's funds has indeed been filled."

"How do you think it's me? The family business has always been run by men. I don't know much about it."

Erica added a little rosewater to herself.Well, this lady is right, the rose dew in their house is really sweet.

"Frankly speaking, I have a clear grasp of the relationship between the Dalton family. During this period of time, the only person who can win support for your family is you, Erica." Elizabeth raised her eyebrows. Chin, looked at Erica proudly and said: "I think I underestimated you before. You are still worthy of being my opponent."

"Do you mean that you have always paid inappropriate attention to the Dalton family? Let me advise you, it's not appropriate for a beautiful girl like you to do such a thing." Being used to being preached by others, Now being able to talk about others is also a very good experience.As for whether she is fifty steps short of one hundred steps, Erica doesn't care!

Elizabeth is very beautiful.Ever since Erica heard the name Elizabeth, she knew that Elizabeth was a beautiful girl.But her beauty is not only her delicate face, but also her temperament.

She has a kind of vigor, and from her acting style, it also reveals a kind of self-confidence that women will not lose to men.

From the memory of the original body, Erica had never seen such Elizabeth.When she was with the Baron, she had always been cuddly enough.Erica didn't know how the two of them got along with each other behind the scenes, but judging from Elizabeth's performance now, it's not an exaggeration to pay the baron a moment of silence.

After hearing what Erica said, Elizabeth did not answer immediately.She looked at Erica, her big eyes were full of innocence, she was a beautiful white lotus.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Erica couldn't resist this, and she still preferred Elizabeth who was full of queenly aura before.

I don't know what Elizabeth used to say. There are so many people attending the afternoon tea, but no one came to disturb them. Even Mrs. Dalton was tripped by other ladies in the distance.

"What do you want to say?" The biggest goal of Elizabeth's trip was to find out where the Dalton family's funds came from.On the night when the funds came, she conducted an investigation through the relationship of the Hockley family, but the investigation was hindered by many obstacles and there was no progress.

"About the baron. I have received your note." This note is a failure. If Elizabeth knew that someone had invested funds in the Dalton family later, she might not have made it easily. threatened.

"I think you may have made a mistake. I don't know about the note." Elizabeth's smile was a little stiff. She picked up the rose water and took a sip to ease her chagrin.

"Frankly speaking, I don't have any feelings for the Baron. I'm just engaged to him. It seems that everyone thinks I'm going to die because of his love, which bothers me very much."

The rose water in the jug has been drunk.Erica put down the pot with some embarrassment, and extended her claws to the few desserts.

Elizabeth is a good listener.So Erica went on: "I mean, if the Baron ends up deciding to call it quits, I don't care about that. In that sense, we're really not enemies."

Elizabeth looked at Erica and was silent for a while.Erica looked relaxed, not at all as sad and frustrated as she had been when she left London.But as a woman, her instincts told her that not all of Erica's words were true.

"Maybe you met your true love in New York and that person helped you out of your heartbreak."

That sounds really romantic enough.Erica nodded perfunctorily, she looked at her pocket watch, the time was almost up.

She stood up.

"Miss Elizabeth. I don't think you mind my leaving."

"of course."

Elizabeth watched Erica eat a table of food, she twitched the corners of her mouth and gave up her seat to Erica.

Erica walked through the garden with her etiquette, and walked to the villa in front.

She planned to run away from the beginning, didn't she?It would be great to be able to use Elizabeth as a cover.It may have been a long time before those ladies found out that she was missing.

Erica walked into the bathroom, tidied up her appearance, and then she hid the other jewelry in her handbag in different places on her body, just in case, then she opened the door of the bathroom and walked out out.

Just as she thought, the servants in the kitchen were busy preparing exquisite food for the guests, and the servants also carried freshly baked food and walked to the garden behind.

Everyone in front was mobilized and was busy serving the guests in the garden. They didn't dare to ask Erica who was going out, and they didn't have time to ask.

Erica was lucky, the steward and housekeeper were all in the back garden, guiding the guests, so no one really came to her.

Erica swaggered out of the villa.The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling. This was the second time she had sneaked away, and she was not as dazed as the last time.

She hails a carriage for herself, and gives the address of the courthouse.

There is more than one court in New York, but Green's trial was public, with a public address and a public time.

All she has to do is go to the courthouse and retrieve who Green's lawyer is.Erica didn't plan to see Green any more before her court appearance.Frankly speaking, even if she saw Green now, she didn't know what to say.

Lawyer Wayne had been busy all afternoon, and finally returned to his law firm.

Thanks to Mr. Green, his law firm has opened to the fertile soil of New York.Although the laws in the United States are different from those in the United Kingdom, he has worked for rich people for a long time, and he has also fought international lawsuits. These are not big problems for him.

"You're back, Lawyer Wayne." The secretary was on the phone, she said a few more words into the phone, and then hung up.Since the invention of this thing, a lot of business in law firms has come from the telephone. As the secretary brought to the United States by Lawyer Wayne, her workload has skyrocketed.

"Wait, Mr. Wayne." As soon as the secretary hung up the phone, he hurriedly turned around and said to Wayne who was about to push away from the office: "There is a lady who has not made an appointment and insisted on waiting for you for an hour. She said her name is Ellie Card, it will help you when you go to court tomorrow."

"Erica?" Wayne paused, thinking of who the name was, he pushed open the door of his office and said to his secretary, "Ask her to come in."

His first reaction when he heard Erica's visit was that it was a trap prepared by Green's opponent.But from the fact that Green was so nervous about his suggestion to bring Erica to court today, he felt that he could boldly speculate that Mr. Green just didn't want to put the person he liked in danger.

"Hi Miss Erica."

"Hello, Lawyer Wayne." Erica walked into the room. Although her dress was a bit out of date, it did not prevent her from shaking hands with Lawyer Wayne formally.

"May I ask, you..." Wayne looked at Erica's gorgeous dress, which looked out of place no matter from which angle.

Erica explained to Mr. Wayne in a low voice apologetically how she escaped from the banquet and found his law firm.

Erica was very candid.She is no longer a domineering president who is cool and domineering. Only being sincere can be recognized by others.

What's more, when the things she did this afternoon were said out of her mouth at this time, Erica would think that she was very brave.

After she finished speaking, Lawyer Wayne had to take a few deep breaths. He leaned back in his boss chair, and then said to Erica in shock: "Miss, have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Erica just left the banquet without making a sound, and disappeared from the world.Now she is leaving happily, and when those ladies know that Erica escaped by herself, her reputation will be ruined.

"You can look out of your life, like you look out a train window, to see where you're going—but you can't stop the train."* Erica didn't know what she was thinking, probably Wee Lawyer En's office is decorated too artistically. There is a gorgeous wall of books behind him. Along with it, her first reaction was to recite a famous quote to Wayne.

Great, Erica, you've got your mouth full of trains now.she laughed to herself.

The two looked at each other awkwardly for a moment, and then Erica gave a dry cough and explained, "I mean, I feel like I have to do something for Mr. Green. He...does a lot for me. If I If my family is willing to let me testify in court, I would not be so risky."

"I know that you must have a very important testimony. Mr. Lane has already told me this. But you may not know that after I questioned Mr. Green himself, he did not want you to appear in court. "Ignoring the strange episode before, Lawyer Wayne put on his glasses and conveyed Greene's wishes to Erica professionally.
