Chapter 586 Don’t be too Abramovich!

"It's okay, don't worry!"

In the back seat of a BMW driving on the streets of London, Barbara Slater held Charlene Lahrie's hand with one hand and gently patted the back of her pink and smooth hand with the other hand, her tone full of comfort.

Charlene Lahiri turned her head sideways and looked out of the car window.

Today, it was drizzling in London, and the car windows were covered with raindrops, as if separating the two worlds inside and outside the car. It made people feel very unreal, as if they were dreaming.

Sitting in the front row, besides Barbara Slater's driver, there was also a BBC legal advisor.

After answering the phone, the legal advisor turned around and said, "My assistant is at the entrance of the court. I heard that there are many reporters gathered there. When we get there, please pass through quickly and don't talk too much!"

Barbara Slater nodded and cursed in her heart, damn reporters!

BBC TV also took the prosecution of Charlene Lahiri very seriously and gave full support.

After all, Charlene Lahiri is now a popular female anchor of BBC TV.

But after fully considering the professional opinions of the legal team, almost everyone felt that it would be best to settle out of court.

Civil litigation in the UK is also very willing for both parties to settle out of court, and most cases are settled before going to court.

Today was just a meeting organized by the court between the two parties to exchange some evidence, and also to have exploratory contact to feel out each other's bottom line.

Of course, it would be ideal if the talks between the two parties went smoothly and they could reach an out-of-court settlement directly.

When Barbara Slater saw Charlene Lahiri looking out the window with an expressionless face, she felt a sudden pang of distress for no reason.

Even now, she still feels very sorry for Charlene Lahiri.

Given Yang Huan's current interpersonal relationships, status and influence in the UK, if he was willing to come forward and say a few good words to Abramovich, things would certainly not have become so serious.

Now it seems more or less like the gods are fighting and the little ghosts are suffering!

It was clearly a matter between two big figures, Yang Huan and Abramovich, but the unlucky one was Charlene Lahiri.

Barbara Slater felt helpless when she thought of this. She couldn't understand why Charlene Lahri would willingly rush forward and be a cannon fodder for Yang Huan?

What a beautiful lady! Not to mention in the UK, even in the whole world, which man wouldn’t love her?

Why do this?

"Charlene, does he know that you are going to meet them today?" Barbara Slater asked with concern.

Charlene Lahiri came back to her senses and nodded: "Yes, he called and asked."

"And then?" Barbara Slater demanded.

"Well...he said he has a way to solve it!"

"Is there any solution?"

Charlene Lahiri shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Barbara Slater was immediately a little angry. "He just said he had a way to solve it, and that was it? He was just trying to fool you!"

"He is not that kind of person!" Charlene Lahiri shook her head with certainty.

"What kind of person is he?" Barbara Slater knew very well that Charlene Lahri would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Yang Huan, but she still felt very indignant.

"It's been ten days. If he really tried hard to find a solution, he would have solved it long ago. Why would he wait until now?"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Barbara Slater even thought that if that guy named Yang Huan appeared in front of her, she would definitely point at her nose and curse her to vent her anger for her good friend.

"If you ask me, the best way for him is to say a few nice words to Abramovich and give in. He will definitely give him face, and then the problem will be solved!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Charlene Lahiri directly retorted, "Then I'd rather he do nothing!"

Barbara Slater was depressed. Could it be that you have been brainwashed by Yang Huan?

"I say, do you understand that you will go to jail for spreading rumors and slander?"

"I know!"

"Do you know that if you go to jail, all the achievements you have made in the past few years will be gone!"

"I know!"

"You knew it, but you still did it?" Barbara Slater found it incomprehensible.

But Charlene Lahiri still looked calm, "You don't understand!"

"Yes, I don't understand, but you do!" Barbara Slater was desperate.

She had always known that Charlene Lahri was a very stubborn girl, but she had never expected her to be this stubborn.

"In my opinion, I would rather go to jail than have him apologize to Abramovich!"

After a pause, Charlene Lahiri continued, "For a person as proud as him, doing this is like wantonly trampling his dignity into a pool of mud under your feet!"

It was not entirely incomprehensible to Barbara Slater.

Being in a high position like theirs, face can even be more important than life!

So, Barbara Slater didn't say anything more. She could only sigh in her heart, it's all fate!

The car soon arrived at the gate of the London District Court.

I saw that dozens of reporters from major British newspapers had already gathered here.

If we talk about the hottest news in the past period of time, it is undoubtedly the battle for the Premier League title between Manchester United and Southampton.

The gap has quickly narrowed from ten points to one point now, and Manchester United's championship situation is already precarious.

Southampton's recent form is extremely hot, and they are ready to make a comeback at any time.

But just last week, Charlene Lahery, who has always been a staunch Southampton fan, broke the news on her WeChat account that Chelsea would deliberately lose at Old Trafford, which immediately caused an uproar.

Although Chelsea responded quickly and took Charlene Lahiri to court for slander and defamation, and the Blues fought hard against Manchester United at Old Trafford and managed a draw, it still couldn't stop the media reporters from digging deeper.

Why was Benítez sacked?

Why was Oscar banished to the cold palace?

Even Oscar's agent came out to blame Chelsea, believing that his player was innocent.

In addition, a number of media outlets have revealed explosive information, suggesting that Chelsea did plan to lose.

A large number of questions and a large number of explosive news gradually occupied the front pages of major British newspapers, attracting the attention and imagination of countless readers.

So today, this group of reporters naturally would not miss the good opportunity for the two sides to meet for the first time.

"Ms. Lahiri, your good friend Steven Howard of The Sun supported you in his column, saying that you would rather be charged than betray your informant out of professional ethics to protect him, right?"

"Ms. Lahri, some people suspect that you are standing up for Southampton this time. Is that true?"

"Did you ever think that Chelsea's reaction this time would be so big?"

"Have you considered settling with Chelsea out of court?"

Reporters swarmed in and blocked the car door. The microphones banged against the car windows, which was very frustrating.

Fortunately, the lawyers' assistants had seen what was happening and immediately rushed over, shouting that the timing was not right and that too much could not be said. After separating the reporters, they opened the car door.

Charlene Lahiri looked at the group of journalists she was traveling with. The way each of them looked at her was as if they were not treating her as a living person, but as the headline on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

This suddenly made her feel a little sad!

By the time Charlene Lahiri and her group had finally separated themselves from the reporters and walked up the stone steps to the court gate, there was another commotion below.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was Chelsea's people who arrived!

Moreover, the team is led by Chelsea’s owner Abramovich himself!

At this moment, all the reporters present went crazy!

Abramovich, the person whom I usually can’t interview, actually showed up!

As a result, Charlene Lahiri and others immediately became of no news value, and everyone rushed to Abramovich frantically.

As soon as the Russian, accompanied by Granovskia, got out of the car, he immediately became the focus of everyone at the scene.

Almost all the reporters' microphones, camera lenses, and camera flashes were aimed at him.

Although Abramovich is already in his forties, he still looks quite elegant and gentlemanly in a suit and tie.

More importantly, he always had a kind smile in his every move, was very charming, and spoke very appropriately.

For example, when reporters asked about the lawsuit, Abramovich seemed very distressed.

"I really like Charlene's style and attitude towards journalism, and I have always been her fan in the past, so this time, I believe it was just an accidental mistake. If she is willing to publicly apologize and admit her mistake, I will definitely accept it!"

At the same time, Abramović also called on journalists to be more tolerant and not put too much pressure on girls in their early twenties like Charlene Lahiri.

All in all, from the moment he got off the car to the moment he was interviewed, the entire process can be said to be impeccable.

This made Barbara Slater on the stairs very disdainful. She spat coldly and cursed, "Hypocrite!"

Charlene Lahiri was reminded of what Yang Huan once said, "Don't be too Abramovich!"

This made her smile.

But soon, she remembered another worry.

Will he come?

Even Abramovich has come, will he come?

Just at this time, Abramovich and others finally got rid of the paparazzi, went up the stairs, and came in front of Charlene Lahiri and others.

"Hello, Ms. Lahiri!" Abramović smiled and extended his hand.

Looking at his expression, he seemed to be sure of winning.

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. Moreover, with so many reporters present, it would be bad to act as if you are keeping people at a distance, right?

So Charlene Lahiri could only force a smile and shake hands with Abramović.

The Russian took the opportunity of shaking hands to move closer and whispered something.

"Ms. Lahiri, what I just said was all true. If you want to settle out of court, I'm always at your service!" After saying that, the Russian gave Charlene Lahiri a meaningful and ambiguous look.

Who is Charlene Lahiri?

I immediately guessed what the Russian meant, and I became furious!

Barbara Slater on the side almost went crazy. Isn't this too shameless?

How can you be called a man if you take advantage of someone's misfortune?

But after Abramovich finished speaking, he turned around and waved goodbye to the reporters below with a smile, then walked into the court with his assistants with an attitude of victory and arrogance.

"This guy..." Barbara Slater pointed at Abramović's back, so angry that she couldn't speak.

Charlene Lahri patted Barbara Slater on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be angry, he will have bad luck soon!"

She knows better than anyone that even though Abramovich is so arrogant now, once he meets our Young Master Huan, he will be in a state of disgrace.

So, there is no need to get angry at such people! r1148
