North America’s toughest police: starting with the Los Angeles Patrol

After the dinner, it was almost 9 o’clock. Marian and her son sent the O’Hara couple away first because they had to wait for the designated driver.

After watching Andrew O’Hara’s Cadillac XT6 leave, Marian complained to Locke: “You know you are going to drive for me, but you still drive such an expensive car!”

Locke touched his nose and replied: “I was thinking that it was so close, I could take you back first and then come to pick up the car…”

Because Li Bo was not there, Marian asked Locke to come to be her designated driver.

He drove her Rolls-Royce Cullinan to take her home, and he left his own car here and came to pick it up tomorrow.

It turned out that the car Locke drove tonight was a black Pagani Huayra, so he decisively called a designated driver to help drive her Cullinan.

Pagani Huayra

It can be imagined that if this Pagani Huayra is parked in the parking lot for one night, the chance of seeing this car tomorrow should be small.

After all, this is Los Angeles, the City of Angels.

Maybe it was because Funke Restaurant was well-known, but the designated driver didn’t make Locke and his friends wait for long. He came soon.

The designated driver was a middle-aged Chinese who spoke fluent English, but he looked like a new immigrant.

After confirming the address with the designated driver, Locke and Marian got on the Pagani Huayra.

Marian was not used to sitting in the sports seat, especially the four-point seat belt, which took her a while to fasten.

After Locke started, Marian hesitated for a moment, but still said, “You should drive Daisy’s car less in the future, as if we have never seen the world…”

Locke glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Cullinan catching up, so he said, “The sports car in the garage of Greenberg Manor needs to be driven regularly, otherwise it will affect the mechanical performance…”

In the Cadillac XT6, the O’Haras were very silent, especially Nancy O’Hara, who was staring blankly at the night view of the city passing by quickly outside the window.

Andrew O’Hara broke the silence and said in amazement: “If I’m not mistaken, Locke is driving a Pagani Huayra, right? Tsk tsk, this guy found a girlfriend from a Jewish old money family and brought the entire Locke family to fly…”

Nancy O’Hara retracted her gaze and stroked the golden hair beside her ears, “Marianne has become more calm and confident than before, no wonder she was elected as a member of the California Bar Association this time!”

Andrew O’Hara shrugged, “She is indeed one step ahead of you this time!”

No lawyer wants to have his own law firm, and Nancy O’Hara naturally has this idea.

Like Marianne, she has become a partner of the law firm and has high-quality client resources. Unfortunately, she is not a member of the Bar Association and has no background support, so she can’t start her own law firm.

Andrew O’Hara saw his wife fall silent again, and consoled her: “Actually, it’s good now. You are the co-founder of the law firm, and your last name also appears in the name of the law firm…” Nancy O’Hara glanced at him coldly and said unhappily: “It’s your last name!” Andrew O’Hara smiled awkwardly and continued: “Marian has the support of the Greenberg family and Jeff Markey Law Firm. With the client resources in your hands, I believe your law firm will be able to open up the situation soon!” Nancy O’Hara sighed and said: “Don’t worry, I know what to do, I will adjust my mentality!” Among the three best friends, Nancy O’Hara has always been the most proud and confident one. The couple started from scratch. She became a well-known lawyer in Los Angeles through her own efforts. Her husband used to be a county prosecutor and is now a county councilor. Both her family and career are thriving. Although Anna Davis was born in a police family with a prominent family background, she holds an important position, and her husband Jeff Davis is a judge in the Los Angeles District Court. But they are just continuing the legacy of the elite family. Nancy O’Hara is still very confident in front of Anna Davis.

Only Marian Locke, although her family is a farmer, is only a small farmer. She has grown up to her current position step by step in Los Angeles.

Nancy O’Hara has always admired Marian, but she has foreseen her future achievements.

Especially she also found a Chinese husband. Although he works in the Big Four accounting firms, the ceiling of Chinese is there, which can be seen with the naked eye.

So the Locke family has always been at the bottom of the three families.

Before Locke joined the LAPD, he still needed Anna Davis to take care of him.

I didn’t expect that the Locke family would change so drastically so quickly.

It has left the two families far behind and is far ahead.

She then said sourly: “Who calledI don’t have a son as handsome and outstanding as Locke!” Andrew O’Hara smiled helplessly and said seriously: “In fact, Marianne is also very capable. It is not easy for her to achieve what she has now. Otherwise, you would not have always regarded her as your biggest competitor! ”

Marian’s growth trajectory in the legal circle is actually the same as Nancy O’Hara’s. They all graduated from prestigious schools, started from scratch, and climbed up step by step with their own efforts to become partners in the law firm.

Comparatively speaking, Marian Locke’s situation is more difficult because Nancy can also borrow his resources as a prosecutor.

However, this information only flashed through his mind, and he naturally wouldn’t say it out loud.

…

In less than ten minutes, Locke and his friends went home. The designated driver only cost 35 US dollars. He directly gave 100 US dollars, and the rest was considered a tip.

The middle-aged Chinese designated driver said several words of gratitude. Seeing this face, Locke felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart and thought of his father.

I ignored it and followed Marian into the villa.

Locke did not leave immediately, but sat on the sofa and looked at his mother’s tablet.

Marian poured him a glass of water and asked with a smile: “Cheap, right! In your father’s words, it’s a bargain price!”

“It’s really cheap! ”

Locke was holding an iPad in his hand, looking through the real estate information sent by the real estate agent in Bethlehem Field.

A 368-square-meter five-bedroom single-family villa only costs 680,000 US dollars, and it is also an independent community.

This is simply unimaginable in Los Angeles.

But when you think about the fact that Bethlehem Field has a population of only 350,000, it is relieved.

Compared to Los Angeles, this city ranked 57th in the United States is a remote mountainous area.

Locke swiped the tablet casually, “Let Aunt Sophia choose for herself, um…”

Marianne asked, “What’s wrong?”

Locke stared at the tablet for a while, looked up and asked, “Why is there a farm, it’s not far from the city of Bethlehem Field…”

Marianne suddenly realized, “Are you talking about the 40-acre farm? Some farmers don’t like living in the city, so they build houses on the farm, similar to what we do in Lebeck, but unlike Besquefield, it’s all plains…”

Besquefield Farm Manor

Besquefield Farm Manor

Seeing that Locke seemed interested in the property, she said, “I’ve seen it too. The house looks old. It was built in 2004, and the style is very old. Sophia will definitely not like it!”

Locke pondered, “My idea is that we can buy it and rebuild a house. As a director of the Farmers and Livestock Association, Jester often has to go to Besquefield. Is he going to live with Uncle Glen? Todd will also often go to Besquefield in the future. If there is no house, he can only live in a hotel. And we…”

“We can use 10 acres to build a manor with a helicopter hangar, and plant fruit trees in the rest of the area…”

Marian thought for a while and nodded, “What you said makes sense. In Besquefield, we really need a house that can accommodate the whole family reunion. I will discuss it with Jester…”
