A trace of disgust flashed across Shannon’s eyes. He would always only think of her in that manner.
“Imay need many things, but the one thing I don’t need is you. Leave my place quickly. If reporters manage to take photos of you, I’m afraid your wedding with the only daughter of the Yards will be delayed. You don’t want to be playing with fire.” Shannon pulled out a chair and sat down, the disgust on
her face making Max’s heart burn with anger.
This woman didn’t listen to him again.
“Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you want to stay in this city, you’d better listen to me obediently.” Max’s tone was extremely cold and threatening.
Shannon smirked coldly. Did he think that she would be afraid?
“Will you kill me if I don’t listen to you? Or will you kill Matthew? Let me think, you definitely won’t touch Matthew. After all, he’s your nephew. You’ll probably use money or force to make him leave me, right?” Shannon stood up and met his cold gaze.
“Matthew isn’t that kind of person. He didn’t promise you that he wouldn’t see me again, so you came to look for me? I won’t agree to it either. I’m an independent person. What I want to do is my own business. If you want me to die, then just kill me now.” Shannon looked fearless against his threat.
Max frowned. He was seething mad, and the anger burned in his gaze.
He grabbed Shannon’s neck with one hand, and she suddenly felt breathless.
However, there was a trace of a smile in her eyes. She had lived long enough. Ever since that day, she felt that every living day was a bonus for her.
“You… Cough… Didn’t you want me dead? Strangle me harder! I… I… I’ve long been tired of living. If I die, you can’t live either!” Shannon roared with all her might.
Max immediately released his grip when he saw her flushed face.
Shannon fell to the ground and held her chest. For a moment, she really felt like he was going to strangle her to death.
Her tears fell onto the carpet and lingered on it for a moment before they were absorbed into the fabric.
“You should have strangled me to death. Then, we would both be free.” Shannon paused for a moment, her voice cold.
Max looked at his hands. What had he just done?
“Why did you say those words to anger me?” Max pulled Shannon up and laid her down on the sofa.
Shannon raised her stubborn eyes and stared at Max. Why had he become so ridiculous?
“Langered you? How did I anger you? I was just telling the truth. You were the one who didn’t want me, and now, you’re the one who doesn’t allow me to be with others! Go away! Leave! Get out now!” Shannon got up and pushed Max away desperately.
She didn’t want to think about that day again. He had looked so heartless when she begged him to keep their baby.
“Shannon!” Max roared.
However, Shannon couldn’t listen to anything. She pushed Max out of the room like a crazed woman.
After pushing him out, Shannon locked the door tightly and crumpled to the ground.
Tears fell like raindrops, and hatred gradually surfaced in her eyes.
He had hurt her so badly, so why should she listen to him?
If he didn’t allow her to interact with Matthew, she was going to do it. Now, she wanted to start a law firm, and grow to become stronger. Only then could she survive better.
Outside the door, Max didn’t know what she was thinking, but he was very surprised by her behavior just now.
Did those matters really hurt her that badly? Was this her revenge against him?

Shannon calmed down and called Matthew, “Matthew, I’ve thought about it. I’ll meet with Tasha tomorrow to discuss the opening of the law firm.”
She had to live well. Even if she became a lawyer, she wouldn’t be able to fight against Max and Janice, but she could still live a little better.
She had to live well. She had to live to the end, to see what would happen to Janice and Max.
The next day, Shannon went to settle the old law firm. She gave everyone an additional three months of salary before she went to meet Tasha.
“Shannon, we haven’t met since we graduated. I thought you were married to some aristocrat, but I didn’t expect to see you on the news.” Tasha was very surprised to see Shannon.
A bitter smile appeared on Shannon’s lips. She was indeed married before.
“How could I ever marry a rich aristocrat?” Shannon thought of Max, a mocking smile flashing across her eyes.
However, Tasha was still extremely excited. She waved her hand in disagreement.
“Lcan say that, but you can’t. You’re the prettiest girl in our batch. It would be a surprise if you didn’t marry into a rich family.” Tasha smiled.
Prettiest? Shannon had never thought of herself as pretty. All this time, she was only more confident when it came to the law.
“Tasha, I’ve seen the information that you gave Matthew. I only have one request. I opened a law firm previously, and two of my employees have some financial difficulties, so I want to bring them in.” Shannon suddenly remembered something important.
Tasha had no objections. The two of them spent the entire afternoon talking about the law firm.
The next day, Shannon went to the new law firm with Tasha. It was on the 48th floor, and one could see the ocean from the window.
“Shannon, this room is the best in our firm. Here, it’s your office from now on.” Tasha handed the keys to Shannon.
She was touched. Tasha was still as straightforward, kind, and adorable as before.
“Thank you. Since you gave me the best office, I’ll have to pay more rent,” Shannon joked.
After not seeing Max for the past two days, her mood was much better.
“Shannon, Tasha, I’ve already bought the office supplies. Where should I put them?” Matthew’s voice sounded from outside.
Behind him, a group of people delivered the sofas and desks that they had bought into the office. In no time, Shannon’s office was also ready.
Matthew even considerately placed many plants on Shannon’s table, making her office look warmer.
“Shannon, how have you been these past few days?” Matthew suddenly wanted to ask her after tidying up the office.

Jake’s arrival at the company the other day made his heart feel like it was being crushed by a mountain.
“T’ve been good.” Shannon didn’t know what he was asking.
Matthew looked at the busy Shannon. He couldn’t reconcile this woman with Max’s ex-wife.
“My uncle Max, he, he and you…”
“Matthew, that’s already in the past. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I’ma little hungry. Let’s go out and eat,” Shannon said as she took her bag and walked out.
She really didn’t want to think about Max anymore. However, even if Matthew didn’t mention it, she had already thought about him..
