Lyon's verdict began three months after he was arrested. Because the evidence was conclusive and Lyon himself refused to be defended by a lawyer, the trial ended quickly. In the end, Lyon was sentenced to 81 years in prison. At his current age, Lyon will never be able to get out.
On the day the trial ended, Matilda burst into tears. This is the first time Matilda has seen Lyon in three months, and the last time she has seen him. She applied to visit Lyon numerous times within three months, but Lyon refused. It was not until the sentencing stage of the trial that Matilda saw Lyon in the court. Kay pleaded with the judge and was allowed to let Matilda see Lyon accompanied by her adoptive mother Chloe.
Leon didn't say much to Matilda, he just told her that she must live a good life in the future. Then he ended the conversation unilaterally. This made Matilda very, very sad.
His approach was decisive and clumsy.
As early as a month ago, Chloe recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The hospital was very surprised at the speed of her recovery, but it was not impossible. After all, everyone's physique is different. After being discharged from the hospital, Chloe went through the adoption procedures.
Originally, for adoption applications like this, children's agencies generally prefer applicants with complete families. But don't forget, Kai has the ability to make money. In addition, Chloe herself is an excellent police officer and her family's financial situation is very good, so there is no problem in applying.
Matilda had no resistance to Chloe's adoption. Even Chloe's daughter often played with Matilda when Matilda was hospitalized. Perhaps it was due to the age of Chloe's daughter and Mattie's. Alda's younger brother is almost the same, which makes Matilda very fond of her, and even allows her to play with the teddy bear that Chloe repaired.
In short, everything is developing in a good direction.
Although Kai is also very busy these days, because of Hannibal's sudden disappearance, overall, he has returned to his original state. And Kai gradually adapted to life in Los Angeles, and everything unfolded in an orderly manner.
Just a few afternoons ago, Brian, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly called Kai and invited him to a party. Speaking of Brian, Kai hadn't seen him for a long time. During this period, Kai attended several parties hosted by Stuart, but he didn't attend. Brian had previously accepted Stewart's invitation to join Stewart's security company. Although he was there most of the time when he was on a mission, when there was no mission, he disappeared. Even Stewart sometimes couldn't find him.
Originally, they speculated whether Brian had a girlfriend.
The answer is now available.
Brian actually accompanied his daughter to various physical classes and vocal lessons every day during this period!
Twenty-four filial piety to my father!
Brian's daughter Kim has always had a dream of becoming a star, and Kai helped introduce her to Isabella of Psylocke Entertainment. It turns out that Isabella's opinion of Jin is not very high. This is Los Angeles, and there are handsome guys and beautiful girls who dream of getting ahead in this entertainment capital every day, and there is no shortage of characters who are good at singing and dancing. But only a few people become famous every year. In the end, even fewer people became successful. I don’t know how many people suddenly became popular, but disappeared after a while.
Jin's conditions cannot be said to be bad. After all, her parents are very good, but they are definitely not amazing. The same goes for singing and dancing. The innate conditions cannot be said to be bad, but they are definitely not top-notch.
Isabella believes that if there are no special opportunities, Jin can only serve as the second female lead in some soap operas.
But he couldn't help but Jin Xin was as high as the sky, thinking that he could occupy a place in this luxuriant city with his own hard work. So he rejected the training opportunity provided by Lingdie Entertainment. Kai didn't have any special feelings about this. He just wanted to help out for Brian's sake. What could he do if others didn't want to?
And today’s gathering is also related to gold.
Because she released a record!
Jin was very happy and felt that her hard work during this period had paid off. Finally, someone was able to realize her talent and was willing to give her a chance. As soon as I feel happy, I plan to hold a party.
Since Kim is not yet an adult, Brian is worried. He was afraid that a group of young people would get together and cause something bad, so he made a very stupid suggestion and called all his friends over. Not only would there be more people and it would be fun, but he could also promote the record to more people.
Jin thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.
Brian called all his friends and asked them to attend Kim's party.
To be honest, considering Brian's age, his friends would hardly attend a party held by a teenage girl. There would be nothing to talk about in common. But I couldn't resist Brian's warm invitation.
Generally speaking, Brian is a rather cold guy. It cannot be said that he is unsociable, but he is certainly not enthusiastic. If you can be friends with him, you are truly a friend.
So when faced with Brian's invitation, most people were embarrassed to refuse. Including Kai.
Kaidu is ten thousand years old, and the generation gap is even wider.
…
The party was held at Brian's house. Brian's house is in the Silver Lake community, which is located in the middle of Los Angeles and is built around a city reservoir, so it's called Silver Lake. Around the Yinhu Community, there is not only a reservoir, but also a small hill. The picture above shows the scene of the sunset in the evening! The golden afterglow spreads all over the mountains, very beautiful! Although the community is not very new, the surrounding supporting facilities are quite complete. At the same time, it is also the "fashionable place" in greater Los Angeles and is the most suitable place for artistic youth. Various exotic bars, restaurants, wine shops, art galleries, coffee shops, handicraft workshops, band performances, etc.
This place is quite nice, and the prices aren't too high, at least Brian can afford it.
His house is not a wooden house like the average middle-class family, but a brick and stone house with a bit of European style. Not only that, he also has a very large backyard, facing the reservoir, with a great view, and an area large enough to hold a party for more than thirty people.
Kai arrived late because he had to drive after get off work hours.
When he arrived, the party had already begun. But what's interesting is that although the party seemed very lively, the people at the party were divided into two groups. One group was obviously young people, and there were many black people among them. They gathered together as if no one else was around, playing loud music Rap music, wanton carnivals, and people jumping into Brian's swimming pool from time to time.
The other group belongs to a group of old men. Most of them have no feelings for pop music. They all hold big glasses and enjoy barbecue while drinking. From time to time, they look at the young people with dissatisfaction. This way. The music was so loud that they couldn't even have a good chat.
Brian was also very distressed. He originally planned to take this opportunity to get together with his old friends, but those young people were too indifferent.
"Kai!"
As soon as Kai walked into the party, Kim spotted him first. Jin was deeply impressed by Kai. After all, there were very few people as young as Kai in his father's circle of friends.
"Congratulations, Kim. I wish you great record sales!" Kay and Kim hugged.
At this time Brian also came over.
"Kai, you're late!"
"I can't help it, I'm busy. Here, I brought you a gift!"
Although Jin was the organizer of the party and it was appropriate to give her the gift, but... to be honest, if it was just Jin, Kai wouldn't be interested. Moreover, Kai didn't know what to bring for such an old girl, so he simply brought a bottle of wine.
"Chivas Regal Royal Salute 21-year-old whiskey? Great stuff!" Brian, like many Americans, likes to drink two glasses of whiskey. He also likes to collect wine very much. Although the wine he collects is not famous wine due to financial resources, he still knows a lot about this industry.
Royal Salute 21-year-old whiskey was specially brewed in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The name originated from an ancient tradition: the Royal Navy fired a 21-gun salute to express the highest respect. The grandness of the brewing of "Royal Salute" can be seen from the strict selection of oak barrels for storing the wine. First, it must be strong enough to ensure long-term storage. Second, it must have stored Spanish sherry or American bourbon. whisky. The most important thing is that the wine must undergo at least 21 years of aging. The impurities in the wine are taken away by the fresh air through the breath of oak. At the same time, the whiskey also absorbs the aroma of oak.
After 21 years, the wine was concentrated to only 60% of its original content. At this time, a series of unique blending ratios were carried out to finally brew a "Royal Salute" with a rich and complex taste. This precious 21-year-old whiskey is packaged in a blue porcelain bottle, making it even more elegant and luxurious. Each bottle is stamped with a royal crest label bearing the Queen's initials. The red, blue and emerald gemstones set in the Queen's crown are transformed into three-color bottles. The wine bottle is engraved with a warrior wielding a long sword astride a war horse, and there are two salutes on the label to embellish its extraordinary value.
A group of older men were quickly attracted to the bottle of whiskey. Whiskey is the favorite of mature men. Beer is too bland and not as heavy as whiskey. It doesn't taste strong enough.
"I'm going to get some ice!" Brian was very excited. This kind of wine is also available on the market, and the price is not too expensive. It only costs a few hundred dollars. The bottle that Kai took is a collector's edition, and the price is higher. The key is that there are very few of this series on the market, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. arrive.
Although this thing is hunger marketing in Kai's opinion, he can't stop many people from following this trick.
Jin also began to introduce his friends to Kai.
It started with the black guys. Well, these guys were in the same record company as King. A bunch of rappers said they were some sort of gangster. Perhaps they smelled the note from Kai, but these people were not enthusiastic about Kai either. Kai didn't care about this, because he also smelled assholes in this group of people.
Then came Kim’s friends.
Most of them are beautiful girls. Kai had a much better attitude about this. Who doesn't like beautiful girls?
At this time, Brian had prepared ice cubes and was pouring wine for everyone.
Royal Salute 21 Years Old is a rich amber color. Fruity and mellow, mixed with soft sweet floral notes and a hint of tobacco. The aftertaste is rich, mellow, and the fruity aroma is long and rich. It tasted pretty good, at least everyone else present was satisfied.
Jin and her friends did not have such a good fortune, after all, they were not of legal drinking age.
Afterwards, Kai chatted with Stewart and the others.
It was also through them that Kai learned that the reason why Kim was able to release records was not all due to her efforts. Well... Kim's efforts accounted for 20%. The other 80% depends on Brian's sincerity.
What’s sincerity, of course it’s money!
This record was entirely self-financed by Brian!
Kai was stunned when he heard this, and the others didn't quite understand either. To be honest, even Kai, a Chinese, couldn't accept what Brian did. He was too doting on his children. Not to mention a bunch of Americans who didn't understand why Brian did this. This is a waste of money and of no practical significance.
Fortunately, everyone knows that Brian has always felt that he owed Jin, and he did this to make up for the debt over the years, so no one was so shameless as to expose him. I realized that everyone had a tacit agreement not to talk about this topic anymore, and instead started talking about other things, such as Iron Man, Batman and Hannibal the Ghost Butcher, which were very popular some time ago.
Kai is a policeman, and in the eyes of others, he must know a lot of information, so they all pester Kai and ask him to talk.
No one would take him seriously anyway, so Kai just made up his mind. Treat the reports produced by the psychological profilers in the bureau as intelligence and share them with others. Others don't bother to care about whether they are true or false, so they just listen to them seriously. No one cares anyway.
While we were chatting here, the young man over there got into trouble again.
It turned out that among the classmates Jin invited, there was a girl named Jiali. She was a girl who looked a little rustic and not very popular. At school, Jiali became the target of bullying by his classmates because he was not sociable.
Jin had done this before, but she was a kind child after all, and she felt very guilty for what she had done. She didn't really want to bully Jia Li, but... everyone around her was doing it. Jin didn't have the courage to resist everyone, so she went with the flow and participated a few times. But then the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, so she invited Jia Li wants to use this method to enable Jia Li to get along with other people and gain understanding from others.
It's just that her idea is good, but some people don't think so.
Jin has two best friends at school. One is named Chris, who is the captain of the school cheerleading team. She has a rebellious and unruly personality. Together with a group of bad girls in the school, they enjoy bullying their classmates all day long. She was the main force in bullying Jia Li. The other one is called Amanda, who has a more cheerful personality and is bold. She likes to try new things and is generally a good girl, but she doesn't think there is anything wrong with bullying Jiali.
And this time the matter is related to the three of them.
Previously, Chris bullied Carrie at school and was punished by the school because she went too far. She was given a good education. However, instead of restraining herself, she deliberately planned to further humiliate Carrie.
So when Jin invited Jiali, she not only did not stop him, but instead added fuel to the fire, planning to humiliate Jiali on this occasion.
A group of black rappers came today, and she planned to use them to humiliate Jiali.
She and Amanda told the black men that Carrie was a bitch who liked sex, and she wanted to taste what it was like to be black. And she loved it rough.
A bunch of black men with sperm in their brains immediately turned into wolves when they heard this, and they actually planned to use violence against Jiali.
Seeing that Jiali was really going to be bullied, Amanda came back to her senses and crossed the line like this!
But Chrissy didn't let Amanda stop her.
When the two were arguing, Jin discovered it and ran over to stop it, leading to a conflict with the gang of black people.
