Chapter 374 Untitled (Begging for monthly tickets, doubled)
"You must have something to do, right?" Hannah quickly fluttered her long eyelashes, trying to use the "charm" technique.
Jack was so amused by her that he couldn't laugh or cry, "What can I do? Use a Barrett to kill Charlie's wife Muriel Lane from 2,000 yards away before the trial tomorrow?"
Hannah actually raised her head and thought seriously for three seconds, then frowned and tilted her head, showing a cute puzzled expression, "Isn't this a bit too cruel?"
"Snapped!"
Jack knew she was joking, but he couldn't help but slapped the peach, causing a jelly-like ripple, which felt great.
"I may have some ideas, but now my mind seems to be blocked. Oh, what should I do?" Someone's voice became a little malicious.
Hannah rolled her eyes, not knowing what this guy was planning.
At the beginning of the night, this energetic young man and woman went out. The Fifth Avenue where the Plaza Hotel is located is one of the most famous shopping streets in the world.
Donkey Brand, Gucci, Balenciaga, Chanel, Tiffany, Jack the Bitch can probably only recognize these brands.
Hannah went to an Italian men's clothing store that he had never heard of and picked out a suit, several ties, shoes, and some small accessories such as tie clips for him, which cost more than six figures.
In her words, non-customized products are probably at this level, and no matter how expensive they are, they will look like nouveau riche.
But this dress can only be worn to attend John's wedding. After Zoe and Maureen's wedding, they still have to wait until they return to Los Angeles and find a local old-fashioned custom shop to have a specially customized set.
It would be best to fly to Milan, where the craftsmanship of tailors and shoemakers is the best. However, Jack’s vacation this year has been booked to Hawaii. His uncle Daniel has urged it many times. Grandpa and grandma miss their dear grandson very much. .
If it were the poor boy who was penniless two years ago, Jack would definitely not let Hannah spend money on him so lavishly. It doesn't matter now.
Although his current net worth is much lower than that of Hannah, there is no longer a gap caused by money between the two.
Jack also spent his own money to buy a few casual suits and shirts of the same style, so as not to be looked down upon by Rosie all the time. When he went on a mission, he was the one who dressed the least like an FBI agent.
After filling in the hotel room number, the clerk would arrange for the expensive clothes to be delivered to their room, and the two then drove to a bar in Queens.
The bar is located near the apartment building where Charlie originally lived. Although people of all colors live here, including people with red, black, white and yellow skins, the security is surprisingly good.
Not only are none of the street lights on the street damaged, but there are also several children playing on the paths between the buildings. From time to time, there are also a few men with armbands patrolling around, with the words "Watch in the collar" written on the armbands. .
Jack checked on his mobile phone and found that the housing prices in the surrounding area were surprisingly good. The residents nearby were basically senior blue-collar workers above the average income line, which was about the same as the income of an ordinary New York police officer.
No wonder Charlie and his wife didn't move out of the neighborhood even if they won the lottery.
The small bar business was very good at night and the atmosphere was very good. Many people sat around the bar and watched the evening news broadcast above.
Jack paid for a few beers and asked everyone to make room for him and Hannah, who squeezed onto a high stool.
The two of them were a little curious. They had seen people gathered around the bar to watch sports games, and it was the first time they saw people gathered around watching the evening news.
But they soon learned the answer. This was an evening news commentary show where the host was discussing the divorce case between Charlie and his wife Muriel with two guests.
Why did Muriel claim in court that her late father asked her to guess the lottery numbers in a dream? What about the current trial being very unfavorable to Charlie? Muriel's lawyer claimed that he would make Charlie clean up and leave the house, etc. .
"I told them that there would be no good results for them. This bitch, Muriel, has long wanted to kick Charlie." The shy drunkard with a big belly said drunkenly.
The people around him immediately agreed, "Yes, this woman is so stupid, she only has money in her eyes, and every day she can be heard complaining about this and that.
Either she disliked that Charlie's job was not decent enough and he could only wear a police uniform every day, or she disliked that his income was too low, and she was not even willing to give him a child. "
"Now she can get her wish. Not only has my poor partner lost her job, she even has to sleep in my living room now."
Next to him, a black police officer with a small round face and wearing a uniform complained drunkenly.
Jack and Hannah's eyes lit up at the same time, and they looked at each other, each seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain, and they happened to meet Charlie's partner here.
"That's the way the world is, Williams. Good people don't get rewarded. You might as well persuade Charlie to let him come back as a police officer. We can organize a petition to ask the local branch to rehire Charlie."
The bartender poured a glass of beer and pushed it in front of the black police officer, "I'll take this one. You are a good person like Charlie, but it seems that you are much more lucky than him. At least you have a kind wife."
Williams rolled his eyes at him, took the beer glass and drank it in one gulp, then put a five-dollar tip under the glass.
"It's time for me to go back and comfort poor Charlie. I hope tomorrow's verdict won't bankrupt him. This fool actually gave up his share of the bonus, just in the hope that Muriel would be merciful. Alas!"
"Hey, help tell Charlie that we will pray for him, and so will the children. They are still waiting for the old man to come back and play baseball together."
The shy and pot-bellied drinker shouted loudly at Williams's leaving back, and everyone else in the bar also raised their glasses, "May God bless Charlie!"
Hannah left her seat and wanted to catch up, but Jack gently pulled her back and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, we can't do anything now. We'll wait until the verdict comes out tomorrow."

The New York State Supreme Court Building, formerly known as the New York County Courthouse, is located at 60 Central Street in Manhattan, New York City, on Foley Square in the Civic Center District.
This is a hexagonal, granite-faced, stately Renaissance-style building with a huge Corinthian colonnade on the front, just like an ancient temple.
Dupree, a reporter with great abilities, got two seats for Jack and Hannah. Jack put on a casual suit, and Hannah, who was also dressed in formal attire, arrived outside the court early.
