“What… What are you doing?” Shannon’s eyes were filled with panic.

Max’s slender fingers brushed lightly across Shannon’s fair skin, stopping on her lips.

“If you want a man, I can satisfy you. You know how capable I am.” His deep, charming voice carried a hint of teasing.

Shannon was so nervous that her palms started to sweat. He was always like this, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

“Remember this! No matter what kind of man he is, you’re not allowed to approach him again. Otherwise, I really don’t know what I’ll do.” After saying that, he got up and left her bedroom.
Shannon followed him out, feeling relieved only after she confirmed that he had indeed left.

She slumped onto the carpet, feeling weak all over. She had taken care of this man for the entire night, but in the end, he still treated her like this.

He said that Jason wasn’t the type of person she thought he was. Could it be that he was afraid that she would be taken advantage of?

Shannon’s heart was in a mess. He wouldn’t care about her, he never would.

She got up and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she sat in the study and studied Jason’s case. If she didn’t take it up, Tasha could do it, and she could just guide her along.

In the hospital.

“What did you say? Max is at Shannon’s house?” Janice was in disbelief.

With such a massive accident happening last night, why would a workaholic like Max spend the night in a woman’s house?

“That’s impossible. Max is a workaholic. There was a landslide at one of their hotels last night, and some of the victims were still in the ICU. He wouldn’t have done that!” Janice couldn’t believe that Max would abandon his job for a woman.
After all, she was also very worried about the situation even though she was in the hospital last night!

“I guarantee you that I’m not mistaken. Look, if President Wenley wasn’t there, Jake wouldn’t have gone to Shannon’s house so early in the morning!” Janice’s subordinate handed his phone over to her.
When she saw the photo, she had no choice but to believe it. A vicious glint flashed across her eyes.

She was feeling terrified here, but Max was spending the night with Shannon!

“Janice, how is your father doing? Oh my, when I heard about the news early in the morning, I was so worried.” Sandra’s voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Janice immediately pretended to be weak and gentle, then turned to her future mother-in-law.

“Mrs. Wenley, Daddy is fine now. It’s just that Max is in trouble. Last night, last night, I… I couldn’t contact him at all. I was really scared,” Janice said as she started crying.

Sandra’s heart ached when she saw Janice in this state. However, with such a major incident, how could she not be able to contact Max?

“Where was Max last night? Why couldn’t you reach him?” Sandra looked anxious, thinking that something had happened to Max.

Janice was like an actress. When she cried, her tears wouldn’t stop.

She suddenly thought of a solution. If Sandra attacked Shannon, Max probably wouldn’t retaliate.

“Auntie, I, I…” Janice wiped her tears and gave her subordinate a look.

It was best if she wasn’t the one who told Sandra. This way, she could kill Shannon with a borrowed knife, and her hands wouldn’t be stained with blood.

“Madam, President Wenley seemed to be at Shannon Zanders’ place last night. It was said that Jake took a long time to find President Wenley, and it almost delayed matters at the Wenley Corporation.” Janice’s subordinate quickly approached Sandra and exaggerated the situation.
Sandra suddenly stood up from her chair, her eyes wide open. Max actually went to Shannon’s place? How was that possible?

“What are you talking about? You’d better not spread such rumors,” Janice acted innocently.

Sandra was so angry that her breathing hastened. Shannon had failed to give birth to her grandson three years ago. Was she going to harm the Wenley Corporation again?

“Mrs. Wenley, don’t be angry. I heard that Shannon has opened a law firm on Cloud Street, and she has a lot of clients, including people from wealthy families, and even people from the triads. She’s quite powerful now,” Janice immediately added fuel to the fire when she saw Sandra getting angry.
Sandra gripped her bag tightly. Shannon was intentionally causing her to worry. She had to teach this woman a lesson.

“Janice, stay here and take good care of your father. I’ll be back soon,” Sandra strode off in her heels after she said that.

Janice sat back on the stool and tidied her messy hair.

Initially, she wanted to deal with Shannon herself. Now, she could just relax and watch the show.

Sandra was not an easy woman to deal with. Now that such a big thing had happened, she would definitely plan to destroy Shannon’s law firm.

“Destroy her company!” Sandra soon figured out Shannon’s office location, so she called a bunch of hooligans and sent them to Shannon’s law firm.

Before Tasha could react, the entire law firm had been turned upside-down.

She took out her phone and was about to call the police when her phone was snatched away by the hooligans and smashed into pieces.

“Miss, according to our people, President Wenley’s mother destroyed Shannon’s law firm.” Janice’s subordinate had a treacherous expression on his face.

Janice’s mood instantly brightened when she heard this news. However, when she recalled how she waited outside the emergency room alone last night, while Max was with Shannon, a fire was ignited in her heart. She was furious.
“In that case, let’s make things even worse. Go and tell the hooligans this,” Janice wiped her father’s face with a towel and ordered her subordinates in a low voice, her gaze extremely vicious.
Since Max loved Shannon’s body so much, she would destroy that woman’s body.

After this, she would see how Shannon could continue to act innocent and seduce her man.

His subordinate naturally understood what Janice meant. Although he didn’t quite agree to her actions, he still did as Janice said.

Shannon was still unaware of what had happened. She hadn’t rested well the night before because she was sleeping on the carpet, and hence she was feeling under the weather.

Her head was heavy, and her mind was in a mess.

She got up and was about to find some medicine for her cold when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Shannon frowned. She had switched off her phone because she didn’t want to be disturbed. Did Max forget something?

She opened the door without any warning, and a few burly men rushed towards her.

“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Shannon picked up the knife that she had placed on the shoe cabinet last night, fear appearing in her eyes.

‘The few of them glanced at each other, then let out ear-piercing laughter.

“What are we doing? Our boss has instructed us to enjoy ourselves!”

“Woman, as long as you’re obedient and satisfy our needs, we guarantee that you’ll be fine!”
