December 15th.

Daisy made an appointment with the plaintiff to settle out of court.

The location is an office in a Los Angeles courthouse.

The mediator is Mikita George, also a lawyer.

Many state courts have court-affiliated mediation. Most of these mediators are lawyers or retired judges. The court encourages parties to resolve disputes through the mediation channels provided by the court.

At 9:20 in the morning, Daisy and Luke came to participate in the settlement on behalf of Danny Carter.

The two chatted with the mediator for a while, and it was obvious that he was very interested in Danny Carter's case.

From the conversation, Luke vaguely felt that he was a little envious of Daisy. Getting a client like Danny Carter represented fame and wealth.

At half past nine, Billie Worry and her lawyer Robin Weir also arrived, followed by a young man. Although it was their first meeting, Luke had seen Billie Worry's information before.

She knew the man was her boyfriend.

Mediator Mikita George motioned for them to sit down and said, "OK, since everyone is here, let's start talking.

I have been paying attention to this case and have been exposed to many similar cases.

Once this kind of case goes to court, it will benefit no one, and settlement is the most correct option.

Tell me what you think."

Robin Weir, the plaintiff’s lawyer, said, “In this case, my client suffered injuries, not only physical injuries, but also mental pain, and it is based on these two points that we seek compensation.

"

Daisy said, "Hurt?

What harm?

I don’t know what you mean?”

"Danny Carter strengthened my client, isn't that a disservice?

Attorney Ellis, you are also a woman, and I believe you should be able to understand the pain of my client. What we ask for is not only compensation, but also a face-to-face apology from Danny Carter and admission of his mistakes."

Daisy said, "The police have withdrawn the criminal prosecution against Danny Carter. This means that there was no rape. The two people were in love and there was no coercion or harm. Why should we pay compensation?"

In addition, based on the premise of equality between men and women, if there is a relationship, compensation must be made. Can my client also sue Billie Worry for compensation?"

Billie Worry's boyfriend showed an angry look, "That's bullshit. I am Billie Worry's boyfriend. Our relationship is very stable. She loves me very much and there is no way she would go behind my back and have sex with someone else."

men do.

She was strengthened by Danny Carter."

Daisy looked at the young couple and asked, "Billie Worry, is he your boyfriend?"

Billie Worry nodded, "Yes."

"Did you date other men while you two were dating?"

"No, I never have. I am not the kind of woman you think. I drank alcohol that night, and Danny Carter suggested sending me home. Then he started to touch me. I wanted to resist...

But his strength was too great, and I was forced."

"So, you don't like Danny Carter?"

"Yes, I am not the kind of woman who messes around. I only love my boyfriend." As she spoke, Billie Worry held her boyfriend's hand.

Her boyfriend put his arms around her neck and kissed her on the forehead.

Mediator Mikita George said, “Since it is mediation, I hope both parties will show some sincerity and reduce unnecessary arguments.

Is there a problem?"

"No."

"Me too."

Mediator Mikita George continued, "Plaintiff, tell us what your claims are?"

Billie Worry's lawyer Robin Weir said, "First of all, Danny Carter wants to apologize to my client. We know he is a celebrity and we don't want to ruin him.

Therefore, this apology can be private.

In addition, this incident has had a great impact on my client. The damage is multi-faceted, including physical, mental, reputation, etc. We require two million yuan in compensation."

Luke smiled, "Won?"

"No, it's US dollars."

Luke shook his head, "You are more greedy than you thought. What is the difference between this and blackmail?"

Robin Weir said, "This is the compensation that Danny Carter should give my client. She deserves it."

Daisy said, "The compensation of US$2 million is too high and our client cannot accept it."

Mediator Mikita George said, "What ideas does the defendant have that he can bring up?"

Daisy replied, "First of all, the relationship between my client and Billie Worry was based on mutual consent, so there was no compensation.

Just considering the impact, my client is willing to spend a sum of money to settle the matter.

But the amount must be within reason."

Billie Worry's boyfriend asked, "How much is he willing to pay?"

"Fifty thousand dollars."

Billie Worry's boyfriend showed a dissatisfied look, "What! Are you sending beggars away? People like him can only afford a meal worth 50,000 yuan, but you actually want to use 50,000 yuan to solve this problem.

I send you two words, dream."

Daisy said, "Billie Worry, can you ask your boyfriend out? I want to talk to you alone."

Billie Worry's boyfriend stood up suddenly and asked, "Why did you let me leave?"

"We have found some new evidence, and I don't want this evidence to be seen by too many people."

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy Billie Worry's boyfriend, "I am her boyfriend, she has been hurt, and I have an obligation to fight for her rights."

Daisy said, "There is a saying that care leads to chaos. I think it is enough for a lawyer to be present in this situation.

Miss Warley, what do you think?"

Billie Worry looked at her boyfriend and said, "I trust my boyfriend and hope he stays."

"OK." Daisy shrugged, took out a piece of information from her bag, and placed it in front of Billie Worry, "Ms. Worry, please take a look at this information."

Billie Worry took the information and looked at it. She was a little confused when she first read it. All the times and places were written on it. But when she looked at it, she seemed to have recalled something. Her face changed drastically and she quickly covered the information for fear of

The boyfriend next to me saw it.

Her boyfriend also noticed something strange about Billie Worry, "Billie, what's wrong? What's written on it?"

Billie Worry turned to look at her boyfriend, "Honey, please go out first."

"Why?" Billie Worry's boyfriend looked surprised.

"I'll tell you when I get back, okay?"

Billie Worry gave the lawyer a hint, and her lawyer Robin Weir stood up and persuaded her boyfriend to leave the office.

Billie Worry read the information again, her face looked a little ugly, and asked, "What does this mean? I can't understand what is written on it?"

Daisy asked, "If you don't understand, why did you kick your boyfriend out?"

Billie Worry didn't answer and asked, "Where did you get this information?"

Daisy said, "Quentin Haggas told us.

According to him, the two of you have been having an inappropriate relationship, and the date and address recorded in the information are the dates.

You are not as innocent as you say, you have been cheating on your boyfriend behind your back.

You can have an affair with Quentin Haggs, and you can have a relationship with Danny Carter.

This is no accident."

"You lied!" Billie Worry stood up, walked to the corner of the office and made a call, but the call was not connected.

Billie Worry seemed a little restless and made two more phone calls, but still couldn't get through. Then she came over feeling a little frustrated and asked, "What did you do to him?"

"He is very good and promised to testify in court."

"Lying, he can't betray me!"

Daisy asked, "Why is it impossible? What is your relationship?"

Billie Worry pointed at Daisy and said, "Despicable, shameful."

Daisy said, "It's you who are despicable and shameful. You have a boyfriend and you are still messing around outside.

As a result, her boyfriend found out and falsely accused her of being strong, insulted her reputation, and demanded high compensation.

Do you know that doing this will destroy Danny Carter?"

Billie Worry asked, "What about me?

Who cared about me?

That idiot called the police because his car was stolen, and all the neighbors knew about it.

My boyfriend also knows, what should I do?"

"So you admitted that there was no rape. You lied about being raped because Danny Carter called the police and the affair was discovered."

The plaintiff's lawyer Robin Weir quickly grabbed Billie Worry and asked in a low voice, "Billie, don't answer her.
