“Miss Zanders, why are you still sleeping? Don’t you have to follow the working hours when you start a law firm?” Shannon picked up her phone in a daze, and Jason’s playful voice sounded.

She sat up and leaned against the bed frame. What did this rich playboy want again?

“Dress up nicely, I’ll take you somewhere. My eldest brother is holding a seminar today. Didn’t you say that you want to know your opponents better? I’ll pick you up at your law firm.” Jason hung up without waiting for Shannon’s reply.
‘The Youngs were a pharmaceutical family. Jason’s eldest brother was a doctor. Although he wasn’t in charge of the Young Corporation’s businesses, he was still an important figure in the pharmaceutical industry.

If they wanted to win the case, the first person they had to defeat was his eldest brother.

Shannon got up and found a dress. It was a pink toga, and she matched it with silver heels. Her hair was let down casually, and she looked elegant and graceful.

When she arrived at the law firm, Jason’s luxurious car was already waiting downstairs.

“Mr. Young, before the case ends, don’t drive such a luxurious car.” The first thing Shannon did when she got into the car was to remind Jason.

Jason had just started the car when she heard Shannon’s words, and he instantly felt that he had acted foolishly.

“Then let’s go get a new car. My company isn’t far from here. I…”
“Forget it, there’s no time. Anyway, the battle hasn’t started yet. Let’s just go.” The hot sun was giving her a headache, and she didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.
‘The journey was silent. Every now and then, Jason would look at Shannon’s flawless and beautiful face, and Max’s face would suddenly appear in his mind.

He decided to probe, “Miss Zanders, I don’t mean to be rude, but I would like to ask, what was your relationship with Max in the past?”

Shannon’s grip on her phone tightened. What had their relationship been? Could she call it a secret marriage? Or call herself a mistress? A substitute?

“If you know that it’s rude, why did you ask?” Shannon didn’t intend to continue this topic.

Jason smiled awkwardly. He didn’t expect Shannon to be so unfriendly.

“We’re here.” Jason stopped the car in front of a hotel.

Shannon got out of the car and walked down. The summer breeze blew against her soft hair, and her appearance was like a gust of cold air in the hot weather.
‘The light makeup on her face complemented her natural beauty perfectly, and she exuded a stunning and elegant aura.

“Sir, President Stevens said that if it’s possible, they will…”

Max had just gotten out of the car when he heard Jake’s voice, but he couldn’t take in a single word of what he said.

‘That was because he saw Jason and Shannon getting out of another car. She was actually attending a public event with Jason!

Were they fighting a lawsuit, or were they dating?

Shannon didn’t see Max, but she suddenly regretted wearing a dress to the event. She should have worn a business suit, so that she would not be implicated in the case when they went to court.
After all, she had already gone through a similar experience with Gerald, and once was enough.

“Go in and take a seat first. I’m going to the washroom.” When they got inside, Jason immediately left Shannon on her own.

Shannon found a seat and sat down. She looked at the information about Jason’s brother. This person was indeed very outstanding.

She took out her phone and checked Jason’s qualifications. To her surprise, she found out that he was also a gifted student.

It seemed that the members of the Young family were quite intelligent. This time, she had finally met a worthy opponent.

“I’ve said this before! Don’t let Shannon take on your case. Don’t you understand?” On the other end, Jason had just reached the washroom when he was punched by Max.

Blood immediately appeared at the corner of Jason’s mouth. What was going on?

“Max! We’re brothers, aren’t we? It’s true that I like all sorts of women, but I…”

Before he could finish speaking, Max grabbed his collar and slammed him against the door.

Max had completely lost it. To be precise, the moment he saw Shannon appear, he had completely lost the last shred of his rationality.

“P¥ck! 1.”

“This is the last time I’m telling you! You’re not allowed to hire Shannon as your lawyer!” Max warned him in a threatening tone.

Jason fell to the ground. He had never seen Max like this before.

Because of the beating, Jason didn’t go back to the event hall. Instead, he covered his face and left.

Shannon was still seated at the venue. The press conference was almost over, but she didn’t see Jason.

She got up and walked out. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. Max? Why was he here too?

Shannon suddenly had a bad feeling. She quickly walked out, but Jason’s car was already gone.

She hastily took out her phone, and saw that Jason had already sent her a message saying that his lawsuit would be handled by Tasha in the future. She immediately knew that Max must have said something to him.
“B*stard!” Shannon cursed for the first time.

She hated Max for treating her like this. In his heart, was she just a flirtatious woman who loved to fool around with others?

Shannon was furious. She hailed a taxi and went to look for Jason.

“Follow her.” Max had just gotten into the car when he saw Shannon’s angry and flustered expression.

Jake was stunned for a moment before he drove off. Max watched Shannon get out of the car and walk towards Young Pharmaceuticals.

Anger flashed across his eyes. She was actually in such a hurry to find that playboy.

“Sir, we…”
“Let’s go back.” Max had to attend a very important meeting.

Although he was furious, he was still rational. He had already gone overboard just now, so he had to control himself now.

“Tm here to look for Mr. Young.” Shannon’s tone was extremely anxious.

She wanted to see Jason and ask him what had happened.

However, she was blocked at the front desk and couldn’t enter. Shannon stood at the door, her cold face filled with anger.

“Jason Young! Without me around, it’ll be difficult to win your lawsuit. I’ll only give you three minutes, if…”

“Miss Zanders, it’s not that I don’t want to see you. Take a look.” Before Shannon could finish her sentence, Jason covered his face and walked out of the office.

She was stunned. His eyes were swollen like walnuts, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

“What happened to you? Who did this?” Shannon hadn’t thought of Max at this point.

But in the next moment, a figure appeared in her mind.

“Was it Max?” Shannon’s voice gradually turned cold.

Jason closed the door to his office. Her swollen eyes narrowed into slits as he looked at Shannon.

Even till now, he could not fathom how this woman was linked to Max. Were they lovers?

“Tll still take on the case, but we need to pass messages to each other, we’ll do it through Tasha.” Shannon knew that if she continued working on Jason’s case directly, it would only put him in more danger.
Her eyes were filled with anger. She didn’t expect Max to do something so terrible.

“Tm sorry, it’s all my fault that you were misunderstood. Go and see the doctor,” Shannon suggested kindly..
