Ashkenazi knew that Hannah was a Southern African, but did not know that Hannah's father was the Minister of Education and Health of Southern Africa.
Ashkenazi knew that Barton was a naval officer in Southern Africa, but he did not know that Barton also had a father who was a member of parliament in Southern Africa.
Probably in Ashkenazi's opinion, two southern Africans who had no roots in Britain should be left to him, a pure Englishman, to take what he wanted, and in addition, it was probably the 8,000-pound watch on Hannah's wrist that dazzled Ashkenazi's eyes.
This watch was a wedding gift from Phyllis to Hannah and Barton when Hannah and Barton got married, and Barton also had one, but Barton never wore it.
Barton wore a regular Itno watch that Barton had bought with nearly four months of his salary after he went to work.
Since she no longer rented Ashkenazi's house, Hannah bought another house next to Ashkenazi's house as quickly as possible, which was similar in structure to Ashkenazi's, but with about 1.5 acres of grass and garden, and could be remodeled by Hannah as she wished, even if Hannah pushed the house to rebuild.
Just like Hannah said, Ashkenazi received a lawyer's letter from Hannah's lawyer three days later, according to Hannah's previous agreement with Ashkenazi, Ashkenazi was the first to breach the contract, so Ashkenazi had to pay about three times the total value of the contract.
It should be noted that because Hannah paid Ashkenazi a total of 34 pounds, Ashkenazi had to pay Hannah 102 pounds, as well as Hannah's lawyer's fees to settle the matter.
The lawyer's fees are £1,800.
It's really not that Hannah deliberately slandered people, Hannah directly dealt with this matter Sharon, and then Sharon hired a team of lawyers for Hannah, including ten lawyers.
Calculated that a lawyer is actually only 180 pounds, referring to the litigation costs in the UK, this price is not expensive, Sharon is not looking for a top lawyer, and the price of a top lawyer is even higher.
Even so, it was enough to make Ashkenazi's flesh hurt, and his house was not worth 1,800 pounds, so after receiving the lawyer's letter, Ashkenazi came to Hannah in a rage.
As a result, I didn't even see Hannah.
When Barton returned home in the evening, he learned that Ashkenazi had made a big fuss in the hotel where Barton and Hannah were temporarily staying that afternoon.
Although Sharon called the police, the police officers and sheriffs arrived belatedly and did not do anything to Ashkenazi after they came, but warned Hannah not to make trouble in Dartmouth.
This made Hannah very angry.
Britain is notoriously xenophobic, and Hannah never imagined that her standard Briton would be subjected to such direct discrimination in Britain itself.
"Why is the lawyer's fee 1,800 pounds, so expensive—" Barton didn't take Ashkenazi to heart at all, but was surprised by the high lawyer's fees.
Barton had never been to a lawsuit before, and he didn't know that lawyers' fees were so expensive.
"I am a lawyer hired directly through the company, if the lawsuit is won, the cost will be paid by the old guy, if the lawsuit cannot be won, the fee will not be paid, those lawyers are hired by the company for a long time, and they are the company's exclusive litigation lawyers." Sharon didn't take it to heart, a big company like Umbrella does have a group of lawyers to deal with all kinds of lawsuits all year round.
"Don't be angry, if that guy comes again, I'll deal with it." Barton doesn't really care about how much money, he still cares about Hannah's mood.
Hannah also had a job in southern Africa, and in order to accompany Patton to England to gild, Hannah resigned from her job at the University of Nyasaland and the biological laboratory, for which Patton was grateful, and the relationship between the two of them was indeed very good.
"I'm not going to be mad at that guy - it's a terrible meal, and I really hope the house will be ready soon, and then we can cook for ourselves." Hannah doesn't get angry with that kind of idiot, and can't punish herself for someone else's mistakes.
British diet, is really indescribable, during the world war Britain is the most popular fish and fried potatoes, the result of these two became the representative food of the United Kingdom, Dartmouth is a coastal city, the variety of seafood is still very rich, obviously simply boiled on the exceptionally fresh seafood, to the UK here to add a variety of spices to stew, the result is a bit miscellaneous, waste good things.
"How good are you at cooking?" Barton is curious about his new wife's craft, and Barton is not very demanding, as long as he can enter it.
"You'll know when the time comes!" Hannah was confident and looked pretty good.
Barton had a reserved expectation, and then he saw a small and thin old man with a top hat and a cane walk into the hotel restaurant.
When Sharon saw the old man, she stood up and left the table to stop the old man.
"You go away, I'm not looking for you!" The old man was so aggressive that he wanted to pull Sharon away with his cane.
It's the kind of very rude stroke, the kind that is a little hard when it swings over, and it is estimated that the old man didn't take Sharon in his eyes, just a girl, how much combat power can she have.
Sharon was not polite, directly raised her hand and grabbed the cane, and stepped forward to grab the old man's neck like lightning, and pushed the old man directly to the ground.
The mercenary shot was indeed a matter of course, and as soon as he made a move, he was either killed or injured, and the old man was directly pushed to the ground by Sharon, the back of his head slammed on the floor, and his eyes rolled and he fainted directly.
"Wow, Sister Sharon is so good-" Kelly applauded for Sharon, her arms were flushed and her hands were clapped very cute, only Hannah knew that this little Lori who looked petite and weak and easy to push was not only carrying the famous Gurkha scimitar but also carrying a gun, an old man like rolling her eyes, Kelly was estimated to be able to fight twenty alone.
"Are you dead?" Barton was simple and rude, and the knife and fork in his hand did not stop.
If Ashkena has a better attitude, Barton can still calmly communicate with Ashkenazi.
Since Ashkenazi is like this, then Barton has nothing to say, as long as people don't die, what is the matter to talk slowly in court.
"No, he took the initiative to attack me just now, you all saw it-" Sharon said this to the stunned innkeeper and hostess, this hotel is the only hotel in Dartmouth Town, the size of the hotel is also a bit small, only a dozen rooms, the proprietress is in charge of the kitchen and waitress, the boss is in charge of cleaning the rooms and is the lobby supervisor, the standard mom-and-pop shop.
Hearing Sharon's words, the boss and the proprietress nodded in unison, and then the boss cautiously: "Do you want to call the police?" ”
"Tell me, has this guy always been like this?" Patton is also very helpless for people like Ashkenazi, this kind of person just doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, he deserves it!
"Mr. Ashkenazi was not like this before, his two sons died during the world wars, one daughter died in childbirth a few years ago, two of the three children left behind by the two sons died young, and the last one was not in good health—" The innkeeper shook his head repeatedly, such an unlucky person is really uncommon.
"That's a pity—" Barton didn't have much sympathy, pity was indeed pity, but he couldn't impose his pain on others just because he was pitiful.
Before the police came, Ashkenazi woke up.
Ashkenazi, who slowly sat up from the ground, was in a trance, as if he couldn't remember what had just happened, but when he looked at Sharon again, there was more fear in his eyes.
"Mr. Ashkenazi, I think we can have a good talk." Barton didn't want to be too stiff, and for Dartmouth, Barton and Hannah were just passers-by, so there was no need to be aggressive.
"Oh~~ Why am I here-oh, I remember, you Bichi just hit me, you're finished, you're finished-" Ashkenazi finally remembered what had just happened, but there must be something hateful about the poor man.
"Honey, why don't you go back to the room first-" Barton wanted Hannah to go back to the room first, to see Ashkenazi's attitude, and then Barton and Ashkenazi's communication was probably not harmonious.
"No need dear, I want to see how you clean him up." Hannah has clear grievances, and the researchers in the biological laboratory are really not as delicate as Barton imagined, after all, I don't know how many mice to dissect every day-
Patton understood, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin: "Mr. Ashkenazi, if you still spit like this, then I think we will have to meet in court." ”
"This little just hit me, you're all together, I'm going to punish you-" Ashkenazi didn't recognize the situation yet.
Sharon didn't talk nonsense, and lifted up his trench coat a little so that Ashkenazi could see the pistol under Sharon's armpit clearly.
Ashkenazi immediately shut up, his pupils dilated to the extreme for a moment, and then looked at Barton and Hannah, his eyes were shocked.
Ashkenazi, even if he is an idiot, knows that people who can afford to hire bodyguards and servants have an amazing background, and it is very irrational to play arrogant at this time, ordinary Britons do have a slight advantage in front of ordinary southern Africans, but ordinary Britons are not fart in front of the powerful in southern Africa, and people don't need to do it yourself if they want to kill you, you can easily do it by finding a few litigants who are good at litigation.
British lawyers, it is really easy to make people bankrupt, not to mention anything else, just need to extend the litigation time, and it is easy to bankrupt ordinary people.
Barton didn't speak, still looking at Ashkenazi with a smile, but the smile at this time seemed a little creepy to Ashkenazi.
For a moment, Ashkenazi wanted to faint again.
ps: The previous setting for Angel's wife was indeed a RAND Bank executive, but when I wrote it, it was written as a state hospital - sorry, it's not been in a good state recently, and it can be seen from the update, and it's trying to adjust-
