Thea was a little stunned when she heard Eudora' s question.
"Enemies?"
"Yes in his line of work, Harley will definitely have enemies. This matter is a bit strange, isn't it? I suspect that someone is deliberately taking revenge on him. Initially, I wasn't so certain because our company was being investigated. However, that possibility seems to check out now because Harley got beaten up like that for no reason!"
"Although there are a lot of keyboard warriors on the Internet, there aren't many who dare to cause a ruckus at the police station and beat up a policeman, eh? That could only happen if someone had ordered them to do so."
Thea nodded and said, "You're probably right! However, Harley has no enemies. I'm not too sure about all that myself, but I remember that he has a notebook, which specifically has records of some of his cases. I will find it when I return home and show it to you!"
"Alright!" Eudora nodded.
Even so, Eudora went to look for Charlie to inquire about the man who had beaten Harley up so crazily.
However, nothing turned up. All he could find out was that the perpetrator, Bob, had behaved that way out of anger.
When Bob was a child, his family had been poor, and his parents were disabled. After his parents raised him up despite many hardships, not only was he unfilial, but he also became violent.
He had used up his parent's retirement funds, which they had saved up for many years, and had spent them all when he wanted to establish a business after graduating from college.
After his business failed, his parents advised him to look for a job.
He refused. Every day, he felt pity for himself and lamented that he was unlucky and how great his business idea was. He felt that the reason his business had failed was entirely because his parents were poor. He then forced them to look for more money for him to start a new business.
Of course, his parents no longer had any extra funds!
For many years, they had worked so hard to raise a child. How much money could they have?
Without his parent's money, he began to feel dissatisfied with them. Within a year, he had injured his parents twice.
The third time, the neighborhood helped to drive him out from his residence.
Without money to live, he finally found a job, but failed to work hard. He only worked for two or three days in a week and could not even continue for a month before getting dismissed. Every job ended up the same for him.
This time, he had gotten dismissed only after a week of working. He had almost used up all the money he had earned from his previous job!
Charlie said, "This person has most likely been hired by someone to arouse trouble! We won't be able to investigate anything from a person like him who's not afraid of death. As long as he says that he beat Harley up due to a misunderstanding, the police will only sentence him to intentional assault at most! The sentence won't even be long! However, as for Mr. Granger..."
Eudora frowned and said, "It's okay. Please consult a lawyer, and I'll think of another way."
After Charlie left, footsteps approached the door.
They were as light as two kittens.
Eudora held her forehead.
She called out, "Come in!"
Juju and Sugar Bun came in with their heads down.
"Dad... I want Dad!" Sugar Bun shouted.
Eudora reached out to hug him. "Dad has something to do, but he will be back in two days. Sugar Bun, be a good boy these two days, okay?"
Sugar Bun shook his head and said, "I want Dad, now!"
"Then..." Eudora hesitated.. "How about this? Didn't Dad teach you how to build a dinosaur out of blocks last time? I remember that you haven't learned it yet. If Dad comes back and sees that you still haven't learned it yet, he'll be very sad! Why don't you go to sleep now and build it tomorrow morning when your mind is clear? Dad will be very happy when he sees your work!"
After hearing Eudora's words, Sugar Bun glanced at Juju, who was behind him.
Juju nodded and said, "Mommy is right!"
Only then did Sugar Bun nod his head. His short legs immediately turned around and ran away.
After a few steps, he returned and waved at Eudora, "Good night, Mom!"
