He didn’t allow her to interact with Matthew, but she opened the law firm with Matthew’s help.

He would surely go crazy if he found out.

“Tasha, let’s go for a meal together. We’ll tidy up when we get back.” Shannon dragged Tasha along, and the three of them walked out together.

Matthew drove them to an old building, and the three of them alighted together.

The restaurant Matthew picked was a very famous place in this city. All the ingredients were decided by the restaurant, and guests could only choose to eat whatever they offered for the day.

Shannon didn’t care about what she ate. She just wanted to distract herself by eating.

Unfortunately, the heavens were not on her side, and she had to face an unwelcome encounter.

“I’s been rumored that President Wenley and you are getting married soon. I wonder when the wedding will be held?”

“What are you trying to find out? The political marriage between the Wenley Corporation and the Yard Corporation would attract the entire city’s attention. They need to be well-prepared. How could they let us know?”

“You’re the one who’s wrong! What do you mean by political marriage? Janice and President Wenley were first loves, and they’ve known each other for so many years. It’s not a political marriage!”

‘A wave of flattery came from beside her, and Shannon immediately realized who was sitting beside her.

Her eyes turned cold. Matthew didn’t know what was going on, but he could tell that Shannon was unhappy.

“shannon, did you see the person sitting behind you? She’s the heiress of the Yard Corporation! However, it’s strange. Janice Yard and President Wenley only appear in public, but they don’t meet privately.” Tasha suddenly had a gossipy expression on her face.
Shannon subconsciously gripped the tablecloth with her hand. Although her expression was calm, her heart was uneasy.

Matthew sat opposite Tasha and Shannon, not believing her words.

Shannon had said that Max had divorced her because of Janice, so how could they not meet each other?

“Where did you learn about these?” Although Matthew knew that Shannon might not want to hear it, he couldn’t help but feel curious.

Shannon picked up her cup to ease the discomfort in her heart. She suddenly wanted to know if Tasha’s words were true.

“Thave a friend who was investigating a person in the estate where President Wenley bought a villa for Janice, and that person happened to live near Janice’s villa. My friend has been there for months, but President Wenley has only gone there once, and he didn’t even spend the night there. Also, according
to the servants in the villa, President Wenley has been there less than ten times since the villa was occupied.” Tasha lowered her voice, feeling extremely certain about the news she had received.

Shannon frowned slightly, but her frown disappeared in an instant.
He had never gone back? Didn’t he love that woman a lot? Why was this happening?

Was this the reason why Janice continued to hunt her down all these years?

“Why don’t we go somewhere else? I don’t think there are many food choices here.” Matthew suddenly noticed Shannon’s expression.

However, Tasha snatched the menu. “I love fish the most. I remember that Shannon likes fish too.” She took the menu and started ordering.

Shannon squeezed out a smile. She shouldn’t feel anything.

“I don’t know what Max is thinking. He always does everything for me, but never says a word about it. Look at this ring, he bought it and simply placed it by our bedside without saying anything.”
“Wow, Janice, this ring must be at least ten carats big.”

Janice and her friends voices sounded behind her again. Shannon smirked mockingly. She didn’t expect Janice to be such a hypocritical person.

“I don’t know how many carats it is, but I don’t care. Anyway, Max bought it for me. It’s still early, let’s go to the spa.” Janice boasted to her friends.

This attracted the envy of many people. Shannon felt fed up hearing these voices. What was there to brag about when one was living a life being obsessed with luxury?
Fortunately, Janice had already left the hotel with her friends who were dressed in luxury items from head to toe, and the dishes that they ordered were also served.
Shannon ate in silence, her mind filled with Max. She wanted to control herself, but she couldn’t.

As the days passed, Shannon felt that her decision to start a new law firm was right.

She was focused on her work at the law firm, so she could temporarily put those annoying matters behind her.

“Theard that there’s a beautiful lawyer here! I want her to be my defense lawyer.”

It was raining, and the gloomy morning was suddenly broken by a voice.

“You’re here for Miss Zanders, aren’t you? I’ll go get her.” The moment Tasha’s voice sounded, the door to Shannon’s office opened.

Shannon walked out. The person in front of her looked a little frivolous, and looked like a handsome bad boy.

“Hello, my name is Jason Young.” The man reached his hand out to Shannon.

Shannon shook his hand lightly and tumed to open the door to the meeting room.

“It’s like this. I have an elder brother, two younger brothers, and a younger sister. However, the few of us aren’t close because my father has many women. This is our family chart. Now, our assets are going to be split. I’ve always been the one managing our family company, so I want a greater portion of
the pie. That’s the reason why I came to look for you!” Jason took out a stack of documents and handed them to Shannon.

She looked at it briefly and almost couldn’t resist laughing. This family was really complicated.
Only two children were from the same mother and father. With such a huge number of familial links, the case was really quite difficult.

“What’s wrong, Miss Shannon? I heard that you could even expose a corrupted official. This case is easy for you, isn’t it?” Tasha was worried when she saw Shannon’s slight frown.
Shannon leaned back in her chair and smiled as she looked at Jason.

“If everything is easy, I’m afraid life in this world will be very boring. I can help you get what you deserve, but the prerequisite is that you have to cooperate with me. If you want me to be your lawyer, the first condition is that you’re not allowed to lie.” Shannon took out a recording pen and placed it on the
table. Her strong aura made Jason feel confident.

The two of them chatted until the afternoon, when Shannon finally managed to sort out the situation in Jason’s house.
“There’s one thing, I didn’t inherit any good qualities, but I did inherit a lot of my dad’s shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that I like women, especially beautiful women. I’m afraid that they’ll bring it up, so I’m giving you a heads up.” Jason suddenly reminded Shannon before he left.
Shannon was amused. Jason seemed extremely unreliable, so she didn’t expect him to be so honest.

“Tknow, but…”

“But don’t worry, Miss Zanders. In order for me to experience all the beauty in the world in the future, I will definitely not touch you.” Although Jason was very interested in Shannon, in order to allow Shannon to be at ease about representing him in the lawsuit, he took the initiative to reassure her..
