Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1618 Frog&fog (6)

  Charlie Bonaparte easily became a lawyer at Channing Law Firm after graduating from Harvard University at the age of 24.

Thanks to the support of his wife, Ellen Channing, the daughter of a jurist from Connecticut, he was easily admitted to the Ivy League school, which was almost difficult for most civilians. They began to get lawyers in Charlie. Married before working in the office.

  For top law firms, the most important thing is not income, but the reputation of the firm, the quality clients that the firm can provide, and the presence of well-known lawyers.

Charlie Bonaparte met all the conditions, coupled with the proper management of Channing, Channing Law Firm has a history of more than 100 years since it opened in 1860, and has offices in major cities around the world, covering areas Everything from corporate mergers and acquisitions, real estate, trade, finance, overseas infrastructure projects to marriage laws.

  What else can divorced couples do? Of course it is property cutting. For decent people, the less people know about this kind of scandal, the better. The offices of the lawyers who deal with cases in the Channing Law Firm are located in the new city on the western outskirts of Paris, and the offices for receiving guests are in the city. In the center is a house full of neoclassicism. The hostess of the house is a hospitable Spanish art agency. Not all couples come to this house to go through the divorce procedures. Some come to buy paintings. Of course, occasionally she will also open one or two new artists. Painting exhibition. Occasionally, one or two young artists will become the culprits of destroying other people's families. At this time, her husband will provide legal aid, which is really a "unknown" couple.

The pale and sallow face of the old Slytherin bat looked like a stranger because of lack of expression, but the doorman of the apartment had seen more "unlucky" guests. He looked at him in an Italian handmade suit and leather shoes, and wearing two entourages. For the sake of it, even without an appointment, the guard let the pedestrian into the marble hall.

  The lights are also on during the day, not because the light is not good, but because the light makes the house look more magnificent, no one cares about "energy saving" and "environmental protection".

There is no elevator in the old apartment in Paris. All have to go upstairs by the stairs. Gonsey knocked on a mahogany double-opening door, and soon there was a sweet voice of a woman. He immediately explained in standard French For my own purpose, the door was opened soon, and a French maid stood behind the door.

This maid is certainly not wearing the maid-themed clothes sold by Victoria's Secret. She looks like she is in her 40s, almost 50 years old, her face is covered with wrinkles, and she is wearing an old-fashioned knee-length skirt. With an apron around his waist, he seems to try his best to make himself irrelevant to "restless self-keeping".

   "The master is not at home now." The maid said in English, "You can leave a message."

   "We can wait." Gong Saiyi said.

  However, when he just finished speaking, Severus smashed the maid directly and walked into the apartment.

  The walls of this high-rise apartment are painted warm red. On the side facing the street, there are floor-to-ceiling windows that almost reach the ceiling. You can see the beautiful streets of Paris through the tulle.

Severus didn’t stay there for long. He turned to a glass door facing the main door. This was a spacious office. Behind the desk sat a bald middle-aged man who was holding it in his hand. While on the phone, he didn't panic seeing Severus coming, so calmly he put the phone down.

  "Do you need any help, sir?" the middle-aged man said.

   "Are you Lawrence?" Severus asked arrogantly.

   "Yes." The middle-aged man replied.

  "Do you know Pierre Brognard?"

   "He is my wife's friend." Lawrence replied.

  "Then do you know his other secret identity?"

  Lawrence's eyes flickered, and then he asked, "What do you mean?"

  Severus put a Senite piece on Lawrence's table.

  "Do you know this?" He said with a smirk.

  Lawrence did not speak.

   "What are the conditions your employer said?" Severus asked.

  Lawrence reached out to pull the drawer, but Felix raised his wand.

   "Be careful," Felix said, then walked around behind the desk "Which drawer do you want to open?"

   "The bottom one." Lawrence said.

   Then Felix opened the drawer, which contained a wooden box that looked like a few years old with a golden lion relief from Napoleon’s First Empire.

  Felix glanced at Severus, took the wooden box out and placed it on the table, and then Lawrence took a necklace from his neck with a yellow diamond cross covered with vines.

   "I didn't expect that one day it would actually be useful." Lawrence looked at Severus and said.

   "What do you mean?" Severus said.

   "My father is a collector of Napoleon's belongings. He collected Napoleon's books, will and this wooden box."

   "What's in it?"

"One part of the manuscript, Napoleon once thought of being a novelist when he was young, recorded an amazing story. The box was inherited by Charlie Bonaparte. He and his wife had no children, and the other part was in his In the hands of the personal secretary Menival."

   "What are you talking about?" Severus asked.

   "You know what it's talking about." Lawrence stared at Severus and said, "If you really are Mr. Smith."

  Severus did not speak.

"I don’t think you know, Charlie Bonaparte’s first customer was Melissa Smith. Her land in North Carolina was illegally seized. She couldn’t take back her property and couldn’t ask for it. Public law enforcement officers came to expel residents who ignored the law, so Melissa came to Charlie Bonaparte for legal aid, and he gave her a suggestion."

   "Where are her father and husband?"

"Her father is dead, and no one will marry her, because she has half of Indian ancestry." Lawrence said with a smile. "This is why the law enforcement officers did not drive out the residents who occupied her land, but she was She was born in the United States and her father was an American. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution gave her the power. The strict discipline of the paper militia is necessary to ensure the security of the Free State. The people’s right to keep and wear weapons is inviolable, and they must be 18 or older. You can buy a long gun, and you can buy a pistol when you are 21."

  "Why can I buy a pistol at the age of 21?" Felix asked.

"The spear is easy to be spotted, and the pistol is easy to hide. Don't you worry that there is a pistol in my drawer?" Lawrence looked at Felix, then turned his gaze to Severus. "American law allows Melissa to be in her own In order to protect her own land, Melissa pulled two pistols at the suggestion of Charlie, and came to the church of illegal residents like in the western movie, and took the gun at the end of the dispersion. Going out and targeting everyone, she warned the farmers that she would shoot as long as she dared to move, and told them to leave the illegally occupied land."

   "Did she shoot?" Severus asked.

"A shot was fired at the ceiling. The savage Indian woman did not understand the rules of no weapons in the church. Then the illegal invaders immediately left her land. Charlie and Melissa were very close for the next few years. , And even financial aid." Lawrence paused, "What kind of woman do you think can reject a man like Bonaparte?"

  Severus smiled, "Her wife knows?"

"Charlie never lied in court. If he thinks that the probability of winning is too low, he will give up the agency case, and he will never comfort the client. Instead, he will use real but harsh words to let the firm's clients run away. But at the same time, he is also generous. Melissa has no money to pay the lawyer's fees. Charlie is basically her human rights lawyer."

   "Sounds like he is an upright person." Severus said lazily.

   "Charlie is very charming, just like his ancestors, he is also friends with Theodore Roosevelt."

  "How did they meet?" Gonsai asked curiously.

"They all joined the National Civil Service Reform Coalition. This is a non-governmental organization that aims to investigate the corruption of federal government officials. I like Charlie more than his ancestor Napoleon. I keep this box because I want to store Charlie's things. I No interest in Napoleon’s smelly shirt.” Lawrence stabbed the cross into the keyhole. “I want to keep this box. You can take away the contents.”

   "What if I don't agree?" Severus asked.

   "Then I will use extraordinary means to protect myself and my family." Lawrence stared like a bulldog and roared, "Trust me, you don't want an enemy like me."

  Everyone stared at Severus, as if waiting for his next reaction.

   "I hate lawyers." Severus said, "Take me to meet your client."

   "I haven't seen him." Lawrence said, "I only talked to him on the phone."

  "Contact him." Felix pointed at Lawrence with his magic wand, then picked up his cell phone and made a call. It seemed that he had done anything threatening, and he looked so sophisticated as a habitual offender at a young age.
