Chapter 245: Back to NY2
Karen really keeps lifting every pot.
Serena gave her a cold look and said sarcastically, “Do you want me to help you introduce Julia Sherman to hire you? Or should I buy you a ticket to go home now?”
Karen behaves immediately
“I don’t, I want to follow Serena forever.”
“Then shut up, it’s so noisy.” Serena really regretted bringing her out.
Because the detention center where Paul was held was in the suburbs, the hotel they stayed in was also in the suburbs, coincidentally, near her home.
If she is not familiar with other parts of NY, then she cannot be more familiar with this area.
She checked in at the hotel, because she couldn’t see Paul until the next day, so she took Karen to study the case in the afternoon, and read the first trial judgment several times.
Paul is the design director of Maple Decoration Design Company. In January, he was introduced by a friend to take over the work room decoration business of Inchoi game company. Two contracts were signed, one is the design contract for the work room of Inchoi game company, and the other is the construction contract.
The design fee for the design contract is 300,000 and paid in one lump
sum.
The total cost of the construction contract is 3 million, paid in three
installments, paid 900,000 at the beginning of construction, paid 1.60 million when the project progress reaches 60%, and paid the balance after the project is completed and accepted, with a total construction period of three months.
Two months into the renovation, Inchoi game company paid 300,000 of the design fee, 900,000 and 1.60 million according to the construction schedule.
But at this time, Inchoi game company found that the actual project did not reach 60% of the progress at all, and at most 20%
was completed. After communicating with Paul about the progress of the renovation and the need to modify the perfect plan. Paul refused, and the two sides had an argument. Paul unilaterally stopped the renovation and withdrew all
the workers.
So Inchoi game company sued Paul to court for contract fraud in a lawsuit. The case pointed out that Paul not only concealed the construction period to defraud 2.50 million of the decoration money, but also the construction company was not the Maple Decoration Design Company that signed the contract, but subcontracted to a construction team with no construction qualifications, seriously damaging the interests of Inchoi game company.
This is the information that Serena can currently grasp. As for the detailed details, she needs to communicate with Paul himself before she
can confirm it.
Lawyer Ayesa handed the case to her with the clear goal of defending Paul’s innocence.
After studying the case at the hotel, it was already evening.
Karen was starving
“Serena, what delicious food is there in NY?” She plans to take a look
after work.

“Order takeout and get up early tomorrow to meet Paul.” As soon as she arrived at the studio, she was serious.
She almost didn’t need to check the Dianping website, and her mind automatically filtered out the specialties of the two nearby restaurants. After searching the Internet, the two restaurants were still there. They were both the restaurants where she used to order takeout.
Karen is not a picky eater, no matter what Serena orders, she eats happily. After dinner, she happily lies in bed and starts watching TV shows.
On the contrary, Serena, in this familiar city, has an empty heart and no end, so she simply opens the door and goes out for a walk. As a result, unknowingly, she walked to her own community.
This house has been idle and not dealt with. First, she has not come back for many years, and second, she is reluctant to part with it. This is what her mother bought for her with all her money, and it is also the memory of the last time their mother and daughter were together.
Thinking of this, he went upstairs. Carefully enter the password on the door lock, some are nervous, and some are timid. The door lock opened, and the sensor light lit up immediately.
The house that no one had lived in for more than three years did not have the moldy smell she imagined, and there was not even a little dust. The floor and desktop were shiny as if someone had come to clean it often.
Back then, she took her mother on a self–driving tour. She thought she would come back soon, so she just left with some luggage. Many things in the house were not packed.
Everything is still the same, she has a moment of trance, as if it was still the past, everything has not changed.
Until she saw in the small bedroom that her mother’s wardrobe had two sweaters that she had knitted herself, one pink and one blue. She remembered that at the mental hospital at that time, these two clothes

were torn by Ann, and it turned out that her mother had knitted two more.
Everything seemed to be doomed. She folded the two clothes and brought them back to the hotel, hugging them tightly in her arms all the way, just like hugging her mother and the two children, which made her feel at
case.
By the time she got back to her room, Karen was already asleep,
She simply washed and lay on the bed, but still hugged the two clothes tightly.
Karen suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and vaguely felt a low suppressed ery coming from the bed next door. She was scared into a cold sweat, thinking that there was something unclean in the hotel, so she pressed the bedside lamp at an instant, and called out
“Serena, wake up.“.
While calling, he also looked at Serena in the bed next door.
Unprepared, I saw Serena, who was full of tears and had no time to hide. Serena was wearing pajamas, holding a ball of wool clothes in her hand, and was illuminated by the bedside lamp. She only looked up at her and
said
“Sorry for disturbing you!” Her eyes were still red and her voice was hoarse. So Serena was crying just now?
In Karen’s heart, Serena is invincible, representing a strong existence, even the child can be calm in the hospital to deal with people, how can cry?
“Serena, are you okay?” Karen vaguely felt that Serena was homesick.
“It’s okay, go to sleep.” Serena didn’t explain anything. In fact, she was almost asleep just now, and she dreamed of her mother while half asleep.

Her mother was very happy and asked her, “Serena, do these two sweaters look good? Children will definitely like them, right?”
Mom gestured at the sweater and said a little sadly, “I don’t know how old the children are, whether the sweater is bigger or smaller.”
Serena replied in her dream. “Exactly, these two sweaters are just right.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Mom’s shadow became more and more blurred until she disappeared. She woke up suddenly, still holding the two sweaters in her hand, and suddenly an indescribable pain welled up in her heart. No matter how cute the children were, Mom would never have a chance to see them. In the middle of the night, tears couldn’t control falling, but she didn’t want to disturb Karen.
“Serena, if you have something sad, you can tell me at any time, and I will keep it a secret for you.” Karen said sincerely before going to bed.
Serena didn’t answer, she had too many sad things, but there was nothing she could tell outsiders. Just like returning to a familiar neighborhood in the evening, returning to a familiar home, she was in a trance for a moment, and Penn would suddenly stand up from the kitchen or bedroom and ask her, Serena, what do you want to cat tonight?
She didn’t dare to stay in that house at all, hugging the sweater knitted by her mother, she almost ran away.
Fortunately, she walked fast enough, because when she just left the community, Penn in the other direction was driving slowly into the community and going upstairs to her house.
