Audrey cleared his throat.
"It's an easy job. Tomorrow is my client's court date. I want Mr. Barry to accuse Dick in court as the real murderer and provide evidence to prove it. And, I will send you pictures of two pieces of evidence. You have to take them back."
Coby frowned.
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Audrey nodded.
Coby frowned and thought for a moment. "Okay, I promise you."
When she came out of Coby's house, Audrey carefully checked the screen to see if it was damaged, as if she would immediately turn back to claim if so.
Harold glanced at Audrey and frowned.
"You are a lawyer who can afford a laptop. Why did you risk your life for it just now and almost offended Coby?"
Audrey smiled and held onto Bryson's arm, "This computer is the prize Bryson and I won in the couple competition. It's special for us. You won't get it as a single."
Bryson put his arms on Audrey's shoulder and smiled at her.
Harold was lost for words.
Harold subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hand to avoid seeing such a public display of affection.
They went too far!
...
The next step was to prepare for the court date.
In the evening, Audrey and Bryson accompanied Harold to the old house he used to live in. Harold built the destroyed grape trellis again and carefully protected the roots of the grape tree.
Just as they were about to leave, Harold's phone rang.
Susie's voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.
"Harold, I'm already at the station at the border of Shore City. Have you already paid your respects to your Grandma?"
Harold replied calmly, "Yes, already."
"Good. That's good. Since you've already paid your respects, then come over quickly."
"Okay, send me your location. I'll be there right away."
"I'll do it immediately."
Harold hung up the phone, and then he received Susie's real-time location.
He only took a short look, then turned off the screen.
"Alright, let's go!"
Audrey teased, "Why are you so cruel? Are you really not going to elope with your sweetheart?"
"I can't continue to be stupid. You reminded me of this!"
"Well done."
...
Susie stood by the side of the road, waiting for Harold.
As it grew darker and darker, Susie was so cold that she was shivering in the wind as she was only in a thin dress.
In the dark behind her, two of Dick's subordinates were hiding.
They were sent to protect Susie.
Susie made a call to Harold again at eight in the evening.
"OK!" Susie immediately sent him her location.
Harold replied, "Wait for me!"
Susie was extremely happy. She thought to herself that Harold had taken the bait. As long as he arrived, it would soon be over.
However, Susie hadn't caught Harold after another hour.
Susie's expectations from the beginning once again turned to disappointment.
She shivered in the cold wind for a night, freezing and hungry.
When she dialed Harold's number again, her hand was trembling.
Susie asked in a shivering voice, "Harold, where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
"Susie, I got into a car accident!"
"What?" Susie shuddered, "What happened? How could there be a car accident?"
"I don't know. A car on the opposite side suddenly rushed over and hit the taxi I was in. The taxi driver pulled me and refused to let me go. Don't worry, the traffic police are already on their way here. After dealing with the accident, I will go to you."
"Well, OK!" Susie heaved a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. The battery of my phone is dying, so don't call me. I already know your exact location. After dealing with the accident, I will take a taxi to you. I'll be there soon. Wait for me!"
"Alright, I'll wait for you. Don't be anxious. Safety first."
"Got it."
Harold hung up the phone.
In the hotel, Harold had finished washing up. After making the phone call, he turned it off.
