Spending A Fortune For My Wife's Substitute
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She knew that he definitely had a way to avoid those reporters, but he just sat there without moving.
“I’m not full yet.” Max ate elegantly without any intention of getting up.
He suddenly enjoyed spending time with her.
Shannon looked anxious. It was already so late, why wasn’t he anxious at all?
She had no choice but to wait. Finally, twenty minutes later, Max finished his dinner. He casually tossed Shannon a blazer, and then the two of them walked out together.
Shannon pulled the blazer over her head to cover herself, revealing only her eyes as she followed him quickly.
“Give me the keys.” Max took the car keys from Jake’s hand.
Shannon was a little surprised. It was rare for him to drive personally.
Max drove a low-profile Lamborghini and left the building through another exit in the basement.
It was silent throughout the journey. Shannon leaned against the car seat, feeling exhausted.
It was clear that the information she investigated was very beneficial to Gerald, but she still lost the case. It seemed that she had really underestimated Janice’s ability.
Even if she were to appeal now, it would be a long time before the court sessions started. It wouldn’t matter to her, but Gerald’s company would be made to stop their work again, and Gerald definitely wouldn’t want that.
She was so deep in thought that she didn’t even realize that the car had stopped in her neighborhood.
“Do you want to go home with me?” Max’s voice was deep and cold as he moved closer to Shannon.
She snapped back to her senses and hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt to open the car door, then hastily got out of the car and ran upstairs.
Home? Did she have a home with him? That was ridiculous.
“You’re finally back. Are you okay? What happened to your clothes and your face?” Pete looked as if he’d lost his mind, and he looked especially anxious.
Shannon consoled him with a few words before returning home. After taking a shower, she changed out of Max’s clothes and lay on the sofa.
She had slept for a long time during the day, so she surely wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. Hence, she sat there trying to think of a solution.
However, even by the next morning, there was no solution in her fuzzy mind.
She called Gerald, but he didn’t pick up. In her frustration, she decided to go to work first.
“I don’t care! Quickly call that vixen, Shannon, to see me now! This woman is too despicable! She lied to me, and even cheated my husband of his assets. You’re an evil law firm…”
Shannon had just walked to the entrance of the law firm when she heard curses coming from inside. She didn’t need to get close to know that this woman must be Gerald’s ex-wife.
“President Zanders, she… I couldn’t stop her.” Gina looked like she was about to cry.
Shannon walked inside. When Gerald’s ex-wife saw her, she first quieted down, but then she started cursing again endlessly.
“You don’t have to do this. What you have to do is to protect Mr. Whitt’s remaining assets. The reason why this lawsuit failed was because the other party is manipulating things behind the scenes. I can only appeal.” Shannon wanted Gerald’s ex-wife to calm down.
However, when the woman heard Shannon’s words, she became even angrier and suddenly started to cry.
“Shannon! What kind of lawyer are you? My ex-husband paid you to win the lawsuit, but you’re using the other party’s underhanded tactics as an excuse. Just you wait!” The woman pointed at Shannon, her expression rude and unreasonable.
“Wreck this place! Come in!” Shannon was thinking of how to make this woman leave, when she saw a group of people rushing into the law firm.
Gina hurriedly pushed Shannon into the office and locked the door to protect her.
Shannon was furious. She wanted to call the police, but when she thought about the additional trouble that she had to go through after calling the police, as well as the incessant harassment from that woman outside, she could only give up.
The sound of things smashing outside gradually faded. Gina opened Shannon’s office door and she immediately walked out.
Everything in the law firm was smashed into pieces. Shannon smiled bitterly.
She had thought that everything would get better, but now it was getting worse. It was so bad that she didn’t know how to face it.
“Is Miss Zanders here? We have something to ask her.”
She stood there in a daze. She had never faced such a complicated situation before. Blow after blow, Janice was really forcing her into a corner!
“Miss Zanders, Gerald Whitt’s divorce has been under much attention recently, and it was lost under your defense. Mr. Whitt’s ex-wife has called for a press conference, and she alleged that you had an indecent relationship with Mr. Whitt, and that you deliberately lost the case. How would you respond to her allegations?” A reporter suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Are you really in a relationship with Mr. Whitt?”
“As a lawyer, you had an indecent relationship with Mr. Whitt. Have you ever thought about what will happen after you are exposed?”
The reporter’s aggressive questions made Shannon tremble uncontrollably as she held onto her skirt tightly, her eyes filled with panic.
“If you don’t respond, does it mean that you have admitted to your relationship with Mr. Whitt?” The reporter continually asked questions that Shannon couldn’t answer.
Shannon felt dizzy. Why was Gerald’s ex-wife such a person?
“Please leave!” Gina pushed the reporter to protect Shannon.
However, Shannon pulled Gina back. She had to face the situation. If she continued hiding, the speculations would only worsen.
“I didn’t have any improper relations with Mr. Whitt. If Mr. Whitt’s ex-wife slanders me again, I will definitely go through legal procedures to protect my rights.” Shannon snatched the reporter’s microphone, her gaze sharp and her tone powerful.
Just as she finished speaking, a few people that Shannon didn’t know came over and led her out of the law firm.
“Thank you for helping me, but can you tell me who you are?” Shannon was a little confused. She had no connections in the city.
Naturally, Pete couldn’t be the one doing this, hence she wasn’t willing to go with them.
“Miss Zanders, President Wenley arranged for us to pick you up. Please come with us first.”

Shannon stood in the same spot and she didn’t really believe them. However, she got into the car after seeing the Lamborghini.
He sent her home in this car yesterday, so these people should be his subordinates.
In the morning, Max found out that Gerald’s ex-wife had gone to Shannon’s company. He called her, but she kept rejecting his calls.
Shannon thought that she could handle everything, but she didn’t expect this simple case to cause her so much trouble.
“Please send me back to my home.” Shannon didn’t want to see Max again, so she immediately made her request clear..

Shannon frowned helplessly. She now understood Gerald’s situation better. It was difficult to not have an affair when he had a wife like her.“Wreck this place! Come in!” Shannon was thinking of how to make this woman leave, when she saw a group of people rushing into the law firm.
Gina hurriedly pushed Shannon into the office and locked the door to protect her.
