Sworn sisters

March in River City still held the chill of winter, with the wind carrying the damp cold of the season. The sky was covered by layers of gloomy clouds, threatening another downpour. If it rained again, it would be the third time this month, and the spring rain in the south was known for its bone-chilling dampness.

The glass of the coffee shop was misted with a thin layer of condensation. A silver Bugatti passed through the gray streets and stopped at the entrance of the coffee shop. A young woman emerged from the drivers seat, wearing a light-colored coat and a royal blue cashmere scarf. Tall and striking, she instantly drew the attention of the customers by the window.

Gina took a sip of her coffee, overhearing two girls in front of her whispering whether the car was a Bugatti or a Lamborghini.

The woman turned her head, and Gina was captivated by her beauty through the window. It was an exceptionally beautiful face, with the scarf covering up to her chin, delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, thick and long eyelashes slightly trembling, and lake-colored, clear eyes that were spotless.

The woman then entered the shop, and Gina swallowed her coffee, looking around. In the afternoon coffee shop, sparsely populated, everyone was staring at the entrance.

There were only three of this model of Bugatti in River City.

Gina finished her coffee as the woman approached her, extending her hand, "Hello, Im Elaine, pen name Elaine Heart."

"Gina, heres my card." Gina was a well-known intellectual property lawyer. Half a month ago, Elaine had sought her out, and today, meeting her in person, Gina became even more interested in the case. A woman who drives a Bugatti, is mocked online for being poor, and the original author is accused of plagiarism and being insulted, which is as interesting as each other.

Elaine put down her bag and pushed the documents in front of Gina, then lowered her scarf. The revealed face was even more impactful, with a well-shaped chin and beautiful lips with a natural color, a meticulously sculpted face without any makeup.

Perhaps she really didnt wear makeup, with a clear and sharp beauty.

"Plagiarism lawsuits are not easy to fight. The current public opinion is also unfavorable to you. The other partys fame far exceeds yours, and industry insiders may refuse to testify for you," Gina flipped through the materials Elaine brought, assessing the value of the lawsuit. "The other partys plagiarism is of a high level, and in the absence of sufficient evidence, public opinion carries a lot of weight."

Elaine was an obscure writer with only a hundred thousand followers on Twitter, writing loosely, without any major hit works. Three months ago, readers reported that a popular writers newly released book plagiarized her old book from three years ago. Elaine didnt care at the time. Then it was a war of words among readers that made it to the hot search, and out of curiosity, Elaine compared the two books.

She was really shocked. That big-name writer seemed to have traveled through time and space into her brain three years ago, and the storylines of the two books were almost the same. Elaine posted a comparison chart on Twitter, and the other party was also very tough, bringing a million followers to slaughter her Twitter, crushing Elaine in terms of quantity.

As a result, Elaine was dubbed: the first person in the universe to hit the level and touch the porcelain.

The other partys fan club openly mocked, vowing to raise money for the first person to hit the level and touch the porcelain, Elaine, to sue them. Elaine had never seen someone looking for a fight, so she made an appointment with a well-known intellectual property lawyer in the industry, and she was determined to fight this lawsuit to the end.

"How much does it cost?" Elaine asked directly.

Gina was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You are a smart person, and I like to cooperate with smart people."

"I will give you three times the market rate for the lawyers fee, and as for the rest, you contact them and let them open the reward. Winning this lawsuit, money is not a problem."

The phone rang at this moment, and Elaine frowned imperceptibly, "Sorry, wait a moment, Ill answer the call."

The call was from her father. Elaine got up and walked to the other side of the coffee shop, lowering her voice, "Dad."

"Where are you?"

"Outside having afternoon tea with a friend."

"When is it? You still have the heart to have afternoon tea? You have a really big heart." Chu Yunhais impatient voice came over, "Richard Howard had a car accident, do you know?"

Richard Howard had a car accident? Is he dead? "Dead - how could he have a car accident? How is he now? Which hospital is he in?"

"City Hospital, hurry up, your in-laws are almost here. What have you been doing all day? Such a big thing happened, and you dont know anything?"

Elaine married Richard Howard, the third young master of the Howard family, three years ago, and besides the name of husband and wife, they had nothing. What does his car accident have to do with Elaine? Elaine put away her mobile phone and was about to go back, but she stopped, and it really had something to do with her.

If Richard Howard died, she could inherit everything from Richard Howard in a bright and upright manner.

From then on, she would be a wealthy widow, lonely and rich.

Elaine quickly called Richard Howard, but the phone was temporarily unable to connect. She dug through the bottom of her phone to find the phone number of Richard Howards secretary, which was also temporarily unable to connect.

Elaine was not interested in Richard Howard, but she was very interested in money. She quickly walked back, picked up her scarf and bag, and had to go to the hospital to see Richard Howard, "Lawyer Gu, Ill leave the documents to you, and you can send me the specific cooperation contract later. I have to go home for a while."

Elaine walked out two steps and turned back, "I want to win this lawsuit."

She got in the car, threw her bag and scarf to the co-pilot at the same time, and the bad news that had been going on for several months was finally going to come to a good news?

Elaine found Richard Howard on Weibo, and Richard Howard had been in the news with various actresses all year round, occupying an important position in front of the public.

At one oclock in the afternoon, Richard Howards black Bentley was hit by an out-of-control truck on the Binhai Road section and overturned into the green belt. The surveillance video at the scene was released by the River City Traffic Police, and the picture seemed like a big movie. The black Bentley was driving normally, and the truck hit it from the side. The Bentley rotated 360 degrees in the air and fell heavily into the green belt.

Elaine watched it several times, and the angle of the car accident, the probability of survival for the person sitting in the Bentley was very small.

The Weibo picture was taken last year when Richard Howard attended the third anniversary of Jingwen Media. The picture was blurry, and he was sitting with a pair of light-colored suits and a pair of legs that were not upright. The only clear thing was his hands, which were white and eye-catching under the light, with long bones.

Elaine also had an impression of these hands.

On the wedding day, the grand luxury that shocked the whole city. Richard Howard led her hand across the long red carpet, and when he got to a place without a camera, Richard Howard immediately let go and used a pack of wet wipes to wipe the hand that had held her.

His fingertips were cold and contained a light alcohol smell, wet and cold. He raised his eyes, and his black eyes were also emotionless, "I hope you have self-knowledge. We are just nominal husband and wife. Never touch me, even if its through gloves."

It started to rain outside the window, and the city fell into a misty darkness.

The raindrops made the car glass hazy, and Elaine knocked on the steering wheel, fantasizing about the scene after becoming rich. She turned on the car music, and heavy metal music collided violently in the car.

The silver Bugatti slid out of the parking lot and rushed into the rain.

Elaine drove all the way to the city hospital, parked the car neatly into the parking space, and walked towards the emergency room with a clear umbrella and high heels.

The phone rang again, and it was still her father, even more anxious this time, "Have you arrived? Can
