The main reason is that there are a lot of them. There are almost a dozen newspapers in this stack.

Among them, the "Los Angeles Times" was relatively fierce, pointing at New York's prosecutorial system and scolding it.

Just call him Robert Morgenthau, the chief culprit of New York's miscarriage of justice.

Robert put down all the newspapers, and just at this moment there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Robert said calmly.

His granddaughter Peggy came in, carrying a tray with coffee on it.

She walked in.

"Have you read it all?" Peggy said softly as she placed the coffee on her grandfather's table.

Robert nodded and said a name, "Abel Smith."

Paige nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm also guessing, it should be him."

"Grandpa, what should we do now?"

At this time, the door of Robert's private office was knocked again.

"Come in." Robert's voice was as steady as ever.

The door was pushed open again, and this time it was Cyrus, the leader of the financial crime investigation team, who came in.

Cyrus came in with a bad look on his face and an envelope in his hand.

Peggy's eyes were very good, and she could tell at once that it was an encapsulation of a lawyer's letter.

"Cyrus, what's the matter?" Robert said pleasantly.

"Sir, please take a look at this letter first. This is a letter that has just arrived, just delivered." Cyrus handed the envelope to Robert.

Robert took it and glanced at the envelope.

It was found to be an envelope from a lawyer's letter from Caroline's law firm.

"Caroline is suing us? That's normal. It's her job."

As he spoke, Robert opened the envelope.

As Robert thought, this is Caroline acting as legal counsel for Smith Capital on behalf of Smith Capital

No, Robert noticed, although it was a letter from Caroline's lawyer.

However, in the lawyer's letter, the client Caroline claimed to represent was not Smith Capital.

It was a man named Reddy Jeffes, a name Robert had never heard of before.

Robert frowned, who is this Reddy Jeffes?

Can you please Caroline, the female satan in the New York legal world?

At least he should be a rich man, right?

"Go and check the identity of Reddy Jeffers." Robert said calmly as he put down the envelope.

Cyrus and Paige nodded, and Cyrus left the room first.

After Cyrus left, Paige said: "What on earth does this Abe Smith want to do?

You asked the newspaper to publish these news again, and this Reddy Jeffes, it should be related to him, right?"

Robert replied: "Most likely. I didn't expect this young man to be so narrow-minded. I have already stated that I will not continue to attack him."

Peggy nodded repeatedly, obviously thinking that her grandfather was right.

What started to make the grandfather and grandson feel troublesome was the many letters from lawyers that followed.

It’s time to have lunch at noon.

On Robert's desk, there are already exactly 30 letters from lawyers.

In the office, Robert, Peggy and Cyrus were all looking at these lawyer's letters.

"Huh~"

In the morning, Robert felt carefree and relaxed.

Looking at these lawyer letters now, I have a headache.

What troubled Robert was not the number of lawyers involved.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office receives at least hundreds of letters from lawyers every month.

There were a lot of them, but nothing to give Robert a headache.

What troubles Robert is what his granddaughter Peggy said just now.

Each of these thirty lawyer letters is from a different law firm.

And their names happen to be among the top thirty in the latest vault rankings released this year.

The Vault List is a ranking of U.S. law firms and is one of the most authoritative lists in the industry.

The Vault rankings are derived from an annual survey of thousands of lawyers practicing in U.S. law firms.

It can be said that it is selected by the American lawyer group itself, so it more accurately reflects the recognition of a law firm in the legal industry.

In other words, it is one of the top 30 law firms recognized by American lawyers.

They all sent legal letters to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Cyrus said: "I have called to confirm that the thirty letters from lawyers are genuine."

"And none of the clients they represent have the same name. I also found out the identity of Reddy Jeffes."

"Who is Reddy Jeffers?" Paige asked.

"Mr. Morgenthau, you may still have some memories." Cyrus said to Robert:

"In the New York subway shooting case the year before last, the name of the person charged was Reddy Jeffes."

Robert would like to say that there are at least 20 shootings on the New York subway every year.

How could I remember everything?

No matter how energetic he is, Robert is already over eighty this year.

Memory loss is inevitable, but Robert still nodded:

"Some impressions, tell me what exactly is going on."

"Now this Reddy Jeffers wants to sue us.

Sue the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for miscarriage of justice, alleged perjury, violation of the suspect's will, etc."

"The lawyer prosecuting is Caroline."

Cyrus said helplessly:

"It's also obvious that the remaining 29 letters from lawyers and the prosecutors and lawyers are in similar situations to this one."

"In other words." Paige's voice was low, "It's probably Abel Smith who spent so many lawyers and found so many people to sue us?"

"What's he doing for this? What's in it for him?"

"You have to know that the appearance fees of these people will definitely be an astronomical figure."

"What on earth was he thinking?"

Facing Paige's confusion, Cyrus couldn't understand either.

"Maybe it's just to vent your anger? To take revenge on us?" Cyrus said uncertainly.

"This unrealistic answer may actually be the real answer."

Robert said with a headache: "Who knows what we have provoked. "

Just like Cyrus and Robert guessed.

Abel's purpose really involves venting his anger.

When Robert felt helpless and had a headache, it was in the office of Smith Capital.

David Mellon is also helpless.

"Thirty of the best law firms in the United States, their appearance fees currently average about US$200,000 each."

David Mellon was holding a bill that Caroline had presented to him.

"But if we really want them to go to court with Robert."

"This number will increase at least ten times.

Multiplied by thirty, this is at least tens of millions of dollars."

"Is this really necessary? Abel, this will bring our relationship with Robert to an extreme."

It’s also extremely expensive.

David thought so.
