Chapter 22 Rich people speak the loudest

Abel did not know,

Michael Levine's side because of lawyer Andy.

already knew his identity.

And put down his figure, and called Anne Hathaway to beg for mercy.

Michael Levine hopes to use Anne Hathaway to avoid the accountability of Carolyn lawyer from CS&M law firm against him and Derek Wright.

Actually this happened today.

If Abel is not very serious, or if he is not angry.

is easy to pass.

It’s just a false police report, for socially successful people like Derek Wright and Michael Levine.

Not too much trouble.

But here’s the trouble, today Abel’s move to Michael Levine and Derek Wright irritated him.

And when I was at the pizzeria, I was really taken aback.

Unhappy Abe, of course, cannot make Michael Levine happy.

He let Caroline chase after two CAA elite agents.

And Caroline, the famous Queen of Laws in New York, wanted to make more money.

The accountability of the two agents is not limited to today's matter.

She even had people start looking into Michael Levine and Derek Wright for any other questions.

For example, are there any articles that can be done on the annual tax returns of the two.

Law firms can find this kind of public documents.

Compared to today's things, this is the most terrible thing.

If this kind of thing is found out, it will be a disaster for Michael Levine.

All-you-can-eat prison meals.

The lawyer Andy trusted by the two of them bluntly said to them:

"You have been targeted by the female Satan."

"Now you have only two ways to escape her pursuit."

"One is, please bring a lawyer who can fight her. Sorry, I don't have this ability."

"The other is to get the forgiveness of the person involved. That is, the one who invited Caroline. If he doesn't pursue it, then you can be fine."

Michael Levin asked Andy a little bit about the cost of hiring a lawyer and law firm of Caroline's level.

The result of the quotation made the two millionaires dumbfounded for a while.

Caroline is one of the top 50 lawyers in the United States, and she can also be ranked number one.

Ask someone of her level to come forward, and the billing is usually calculated at $2,500 an hour.

This is just an inquiry price. More services cost more.

And asking such a lawyer to come forward is never limited to her own expenses.

A lawyer of this level will bring a top team of lawyers with him every time he goes out.

It costs at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire such a team and such a lawyer to work at the same time.

This is just a small matter, and the kind that can be resolved within a month.

If the case drags on for many years, this fee can become millions of dollars per year.

Possibly even more.

Such a fee, even the millionaire Michael Levine and his colleague Derek Wright cannot afford it.

The CAA behind them is affordable, but simply impossible to afford for them.

There are two reasons.

One is this matter, which has little to do with CAA.

The two of them obviously had a better way to deal with it, but they chose this stupid method.

Another reason is that Anne Hathaway's grade is not worth the money that CAA spends.

If Annie is now an A-lister in Hollywood, the situation will be different.

In short, after consulting a lawyer, Michael Levine and his colleagues were both paralyzed.

Then they spent most of the day through their contacts.

Finally know that Abel Smith is a newly rising tycoon on Wall Street.

It is said that in half a year, he earned more than one billion dollars.

is a billionaire.

After inquiring about the news, the two were completely at a loss.

In the United States, it is unreasonable.

Millionaires vs. billionaires, no matter from which angle you look at it, the one who suffers is always the one with less money.

After all, in this country.

The rich one is always the one who speaks the loudest.

Before things turned around completely, the two accepted the advice of lawyer Andy.

That is to find a way to get Abel's forgiveness, so that Abel can cancel the accountability of the two of them.

This is the most economical and the best way.

Otherwise, the other party can make the two of them bankrupt just by using years of litigation.

So,

There was Michael Levine late at night, who tirelessly called Annie.

And with a good attitude, they are all a bit humble now.

Michael Levine begged Anne, let's not mention it for now.

Abel's side,

In the evening, he finished exercising.

He left Anne refreshed and took a shower.

Then left the eighteenth floor of the CarnegieHill apartment.

He went to Wall Street.

Wall Street is a large street in Manhattan, New York City, extending from Broadway Road to the East River in the south.

It is only a third of a mile long and 11 meters wide.

The street is narrow and short, only 7 blocks from Broadway to East River, but it is famous as "the financial center of the United States".

The famous New York Stock Exchange is also here, and it is still the headquarters of several major exchanges: such as Nasdaq, American Stock Exchange, New York Futures Exchange, etc.

The term "Wall Street" has surpassed the street itself and become a synonym for the surrounding area. It can also refer to financial markets and financial institutions that have an influence on the entire world economy.

When he arrived, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

In Manhattan in August, at seven o'clock in the evening, it was already half dark.

When the lights came on, the lights around Wall Street were bright.

The lights of the surrounding skyscrapers set this area beautifully and are an important part of Manhattan's most famous night scene.

Big night,

The major stock exchanges here have naturally closed down long ago.

Most of the companies in the surrounding skyscrapers have also closed down.

But not all of them. After all, financial companies sometimes need to operate 24 hours a day.

There will be someone on duty.

For example, Smith Capital, there are some employees in the company who are not off work at this time.

Wall Street at night, there are many tourists.

Compared to the hustle and bustle during the day, the streets are just as lively at night.

It’s just that Abel came here at this time, not to see the night scene.

He came to work.

Under the protection of bodyguards, he quietly entered the Woolworth Building.

Passed the identity verification of the guard at the entrance of the building, and took the fast elevator to the 33rd floor.

Get out of the elevator, walk through a corridor, and face a lobby with a "Smith Capital" signboard.

It was already off-duty time, and there was no reception lady working in the front hall.

But there were two burly security guards standing there, and when they saw Abel appearing, they quickly saluted him:

"Boss, good evening."

Abel nodded slightly, and two of the four bodyguards stayed behind, and two followed him into the company.
