Gerald and his ex-wife looked at each other, not knowing why Shannon would go to such lengths to help them.
Shannon took two steps and turned back, “Let me know when you’ve thought it through. I’ll tell you the pin to the bank card, but this money isn’t for free. You have to write me an IOU.”
After saying that, Shannon left Gerald’s company. Unexpectedly, she met Janice’s good friend at the lobby.
“I say, why are you acting like this? How much commission can you get from winning this lawsuit? I’ll pay you the same amount.” The other party was extremely arrogant.
Shannon sneered. In these people’s eyes, could everything be solved with money alone?
“I don’t need money. What I need is justice.” Shannon’s tone was cold, but before the other woman could react, she had driven off in her car.
Janice’s good friend immediately called her. When Janice found out about this, she was furious.
Shannon was coming for her. Wasn’t she clearly trying to drag her out?
Alright, since Shannon was targeting her, there was no need for her to hesitate anymore.
Janice picked up her phone and called her subordinate. After making some arrangements, she went upstairs.
Max hadn’t contacted her for a few days. In the past, even if he didn’t come back, he would call the servants and leave a message for her.
But now, Max seemed to be completely indifferent to her.
Janice came up with a plan, “I’m not feeling well. ‘ll go home first.”
She returned to the Yard family mansion and told her parents about her plan.
A few days later, Max received a call from the Yards.
‘The Yards said that Janice had been depressed because she had done something wrong, and didn’t eat for the past few days. Her mental state was also extremely bad.
After receiving this hint, Max personally went to the Yard’s mansion to pick Janice up.
“The President of the Wenley Corporation went to pick his fiancée back to their love nest in the middle of the night. It’s said that their marriage is approaching.”
After one night, this piece of news had spread throughout the city.
Shannon had just gotten out of bed and turned on her phone when the news popped up. She recalled the kiss outside the restaurant that night, and her lips curled into a cold smile.
No matter what happened, the person he loved would always be Janice.
Love could make a person extremely tolerant; it was just like how she could still make excuses for Max in her heart, even though she had suffered so much in the past.
However, if Max and Janice were in love, why did the latter still want to kill her?
Shannon turned off her phone and went to court without having breakfast. She was going to take on a new lawsuit today.
“Miss Zanders! It’s really you! We meet again!” Shannon had just reached the door when she heard a familiar voice.
She turned around and saw Finn, who had a wide grin on his face. She frowned. Why did she meet this person again?
Could it be that Janice had intervened in this case too? Was she going to ruin her career here in New Jersey as well?
“Tl see you in court.” Shannon coldly said to Finn, then walked inside.

The two of them engaged in an intense battle of words. After a few rounds, Finn was forced to retreat, and was almost rendered speechless.
‘The trial didn’t end until late in the afternoon. As the presiding judge hammered down the gavel, the lawsuit ended.
Shannon won. She fell back into her chair, heaving a long sigh of relief. This was the most strenuous lawsuit she had ever taken on since she started out as a lawyer.
“Congratulations, Miss Zanders.” Finn extended his hand to express his goodwill.
However, Shannon didn’t shake his hand. Instead, she stared coldly at Finn.
“aren’t we celebrating the same thing? As lawyers, what we should do is to uphold justice, don’t you agree?” Shannon’s voice was extremely disdainful.
Finn’s expression immediately darkened. He knew what she was talking about.
“Miss Zanders, I think there’s been a misunderstanding between us. I…”
“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding are you talking about? The previous divorce lawsuit involving Mr. Whitt? I don’t think that is a misunderstanding. It was intentional.” Shannon didn’t beat about the bush.
Finn’s expression became increasingly ugly. He had always felt that he was a very capable person. What happened last time was indeed a little disgraceful to him.
Noticing the change in Finn’s expression, Shannon knew that he wasn’t completely devoid of a conscience.
“I’ve always respected every defender of the law, and I’ve always liked to have a fair contest with capable opponents in court. I think you understand what I mean,” Shannon displayed a glowing aura when she spoke about the law.
Finn’s face darkened at her words. Losing to an opponent wasn’t scary, but a dishonorable victory was a humiliation to a man.
Shannon drove back to Kevin’s law firm. Everyone in the law firm was busy with their own matters, so no one noticed her at all.
“Did Miss Zanders really win the lawsuit? I didn’t expect a woman who relied on a man to get where she was to be so capable.”
“Yeah! Her opponent was Finn Mason! He’s the only one who’s comparable to our boss. I thought she wouldn’t win the case.”
Shannon had just walked to the law firm when she heard her name mentioned in the pantry beside the office. She walked into the office nonchalantly.
Anyway, it wasn’t the first time such things had happened, so she wasn’t bothered by it anymore.
“Maybe there’s a big shot behind her. Look at her, she’s usually so indifferent, and women like her were the most attractive to men!”
“That’s right. I heard that she was behaving wantonly early in the morning at the Wenley Corporation’s cafeteria…”
Shannon felt her entire body stiffen when she heard this. She thought that it was just some idle gossip, but the gossip was turning ugly.
“If the people here spent as much effort studying their cases as they did on gossiping, they probably wouldn’t lose any cases.” Shannon walked to the pantry, her tone terrifyingly frigid.
The group of people immediately dispersed. Shannon turned around and returned to her office.
She suddenly missed Pete. In the past, when she won a case, Pete would definitely cheer loudly and celebrate her victory with her.
Shannon leaned back in her chair tiredly, her eyes dull. Perhaps all relationships in this world were the same.

In the end, everything ended in loneliness.
She got up and walked towards Kevin’s office. She needed a new case to keep her busy.
“Don’t take on any cases for now. There’s news from the prosecutor’s office. You need to be suspended for investigation now.” Shannon arrived at his office and suddenly received the bad news.
‘Thinking about what she had heard in the pantry, Shannon had a bad feeling.
“Lwas investigated previously, but my lawyer’s license wasn’t revoked. I can still take on cases. You should have known about this before I came here.” Shannon was a little anxious.
She even suspected that the reason Kevin had hired her was because he wanted her to deal with Finn. Although this case was easy, Finn was a famous defense lawyer.
“Tm the founder of this law firm, and you’re just an ordinary lawyer. Don’t take on any cases for now. Help others with their cases.” Kevin didn’t give Shannon a chance to speak anymore, and his tone was very cold. He was completely different from the other day when he interviewed her..
