A Crazy One-night Stand

Chapter 67: Liked Seeing Her Smile Part 1

Although Rosie had just broken up with her boyfriend, she was thankful she still had her money back.

So, she was in a much better mood than before. Seeing many people preparing for the barbecue on

the lawn, she joined in and helped out.

Alina was also surprised that Damon would return the 300 thousand dollars so quickly. She looked at

Wilson with admiration.

She followed after Wilson and threw questions at him. "Scumbag, how would he agree? He is such a

jerk!"

On the text message, his tone was so arrogant. Damon insisted that he didn't take Rosie's money. Why

would he return the money so promptly? Alina couldn't understand it!

Wilson raised the corners of his lips and smiled mysteriously.

Alina immediately started guessing. "Scumbag, you didn't threaten him, did you?"

Wilson raised his eyebrows. "It's Mr. Bennett who handled this. He is a lawyer."

Alina tilted her head. "That's right. You weren't the one who dealt with it. Mr. Bennett is such a

formidable person. I really want to know how he did it. In such a short period of time, he could convince

that jerk to willingly return the money."

Wilson observed Alina. She looked perplexed as she tried to wrap her brain around it, but she couldn't

figure it out. Wilson couldn't help but be amused at her antics.

He smiled and said, "Take a walk with me. I'll tell you."

"Do you know?" Alina looked at Wilson, her eyes wide with expectation.

"Yes."

"Wasn't I beside you all the time?"

Wilson reached out and held Alina's hand as they took a walk on the lawn, stepping on the grass.

Alina felt a little awkward holding hands with Wilson.

Wilson smiled at her. "We should get used to it. We are husband and wife now. In front of others, we

should act like a couple that makes them look on with envy!"

Wilson's words made sense. Alina didn't say a word and let him hold her hand.

Wilson kept her guessing. "Do you know what lawyers love about their jobs?"

"What is it?" Alina was a bit curious.

"Take a guess!"

"Lawyers love to go to court? Do they like to see couples end up in divorce? Or do they hope for

conflicts to happen between companies? To be honest, the job of a lawyer seems really unethical."

Wilson couldn't help laughing and defended the profession. "The lawyer intervenes after the couple

decides to get a divorce. In the same way, companies that get into a dispute employ lawyers to fight for

them. The lawyer himself doesn't cause the divorce nor conflicts."

"It makes sense. Then what does a lawyer love about their job?"

Wilson looked at Alina's mystified expression. "Generally, lawyers love evidence. If there's evidence,

then they will collect them. If there's no evidence, they will create evidence."

"Creating evidence? Isn't that fraud?"

Wilson tapped Alina's forehead with his knuckle. "Only a lawyer without ethics would do that. Mr.

Bennett is famous for his reputation in this industry."

"Then how did he do it?"

Wilson explained it simply to satisfy Alina's curiosity. "According to my understanding of Mr. Bennett, he

would set up a meeting with Damon and give him his business card. After that, he would inform Damon

that the Income Tax department accused him of taking bribes and falsifying his company's account

books. Subsequently, he will present Damon with his bank account and list of assets which proved that

he received a sum of money."

"Damon's bank account? How did he obtain the information?" Alina was curious again.

Wilson smiled. "It's not difficult for Mr. Bennett."

Alina nodded and sighed, "That's right, you all live in a world of privilege."

Wilson raised his eyebrows and continued, "When Damon sees his accounts, he will definitely say that

it's not his money but someone else's. He will claim that he did not receive any bribes or falsify

anything. Then, Mr. Benett will put pressure on Damon by arguing that his declared income for that

year was too little. He must have been receiving bribes under the table."
