Shannon lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. Jason was really an interesting person.

“Are you taking up this case? Everyone knows who Jason is. He’s a famous playboy.” After Jason left, Tasha immediately went to Shannon’s office.

Shannon looked down and studied the case. Whether he was a playboy or not, it was none of her business.

“Tm just a lawyer. It doesn’t matter to me whether he’s a player or not.” Shannon didn’t take Jason’s unfaithfulness to heart at all.

However, Tasha was a little worried. After all, Shannon was a beautiful woman.

“shannon, if you looked like me, I wouldn’t be worried. But you’re so pretty, I’m afraid that he would do something to you.” Tasha pulled Shannon’s arm, looking worried.

Shannon smiled. Tasha was such an interesting person.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. No matter how unfaithful he is, he’s a rational person, and he won’t want to lose his money.” Shannon turned on her laptop and inserted the thumb drive that Jason gave her.
Seeing Shannon’s confident look, Tasha didn’t say anything more and went back to her office.

Shannon studied this complicated family meticulously, taking note of every single person.

Jason was really quite smart; he actually provided her with information about every single member in the family. Although he was a little licentious, his brain was still pretty good.
Now that Shannon had a new case to deal with, she could throw those unhappy thoughts to the back of her mind.

Two days later, Jason suddenly called her, “Miss Zanders, let’s meet for coffee. I’ll wait for you at the Fleeting Clouds Cafe.”

Shannon brought some documents and went down to meet him. He must have had something to tell her.

“An Americano please.” Shannon ordered a cup of coffee when she arrived.

Jason handed his phone to Shannon, a bitter expression suddenly appearing on his dandy face.

‘When Shannon saw the contents, she was also a little surprised. Jason’s brothers were actually selling properties and disposing large amounts of the company’s shares.

“You don’t have to worry too much. If you think that warning them will work, you can go ahead and warn them first. Also, you have to keep the evidence of their actions well. It’s best if there is video evidence. Don’t be in a hurry to look for the people who purchased the properties and shares to be your
witnesses.” Shannon gave Jason a lot of advice.

Jason was feeling uncertain about her advice. Wasn’t having witnesses more direct?

“This might be a trap set up by the other party. Think about it, if your brothers bite back and say that you were the one who hired these witnesses to set them up, it won’t be beneficial to us.” Shannon’s pretty face was full of seriousness.
When Jason heard her words, he slammed the table and shot up from his seat. He had made the right choice in hiring this lawyer.

“Miss Zanders! Don’t worry. As long as I get what I deserve, I will reward you handsomely!” Jason was overjoyed, finally feeling at ease.

‘Max’s eyes suddenly narrowed when he heard the words “Miss Zanders”.

Shannon? Was that her?

“Hey, Max! You’re here too? Are you here for a business meeting?” Jason spotted Max first and turned to greet him.

Max stood up and walked towards Jason, but his gaze was on Shannon.

“Did something happen?” Max asked coldly.

The Youngs and Wenleys were both considered aristocratic families. In the past, he had also spent a lot of time with Jason, but ever since Jason’s father’s illegitimate children started appearing, the Youngs started to show signs of decline. Jason also indulged in an extravagant lifestyle and was simply
muddling through life, so their relationship gradually became distant.

“You should know very well that my family is in a mess. Now that we’re splitting up our assets, I’ve hired the best beautiful lawyer to fight for more money for me,” Jason explained to Max.
Shannon looked at their actions and suddenly frowned. They knew each other?

“From what I know, there’s another lawyer in Shannon’s law firm. Why don’t you hire her instead?” Max’s gaze was still on Shannon.

However, Shannon hadn’t looked up since she heard his voice. She didn’t want to see him. Whenever his face appeared in front of her, her heart would start to panic. She hated this feeling.
“Tm very satisfied with Miss Zanders. I’ve benefited greatly from her suggestions from the very beginning! I’m definitely going to need her this time. Let me introduce you to Miss Zanders…”
Max interrupted Jason, “There’s no need. We know each other.”

Just as Jason was feeling surprised, Max pulled out a chair and sat opposite Shannon.

“Yes, we know each other. Remember what I said. You must be careful in everything you do, and don’t leave any information that might be used against you. I have something else to do at the firm, so I’ll head back first.” Shannon stood up and reminded Jason, then turned to leave.
Max’s eyes darkened. She couldn’t even be bothered to look at him. No woman had ever treated him like this.

“Stop right there! This case can be taken by your law firm, but you’d better not meet him again. You can get the other lawyer to liaise with him.” Max’s cold voice came from behind her.

Both Jason and Shannon were shocked. Shannon turned to look at the sullen-faced Max. What was he doing?

“What do you mean?” A trace of anger appeared in Shannon’s eyes.

Jason also did not understand what was going on. Could it be that Max liked Shannon?

“Max, what’s the meaning of this? Although I’m a playboy, I’m still clear-headed. I won’t be interested in Miss Zanders.” Jason sat down beside Max and explained again.

However, Max’s expression remained dark, and his eyes were terrifyingly cold.

Shannon had met Jason in the past. This meant that she had approached Jason intentionally. This was her way of taking revenge on him. Was this woman testing her patience?

“There are plenty of good lawyers you can find, so you don’t have to hire Shannon anymore.” Max stood up, his cold voice sounding like an order.

Jason had never seen Max like this before. It had been such a long time since they last met, and he had really changed a lot.

“Max Wenley! Don’t go overboard! I’m an upright person, I know what I’m doing…”
“Woman, there’s a limit to my tolerance. I know that you understand that.” Max interrupted Shannon coldly. The coldness in his voice made the temperature around him drop.
Shannon was furious, but she didn’t want to fight with him in public.

“There might be a limit to your patience, but there’s also a limit to mine. It’s none of your business whose lawyer I want to be.” Shannon turned around.

After taking two steps, she stopped and turned to look at Max, her eyes suddenly flashing sharply.

“TI still say the same thing. Why don’t you just kill me? Otherwise, I might do many things that will disappoint you.” Shannon’s tone was also frigid.

Max clenched his fists tightly. She was really testing his limits.

“Max, are you
