Spending A Fortune For My Wife's Substitute
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, the car kept driving in a direction that wasn’t her house. She gradually became anxious.
“Miss Zanders, there are many reporters at your house right now,” the driver said and explained to Shannon.
Shannon furrowed her eyebrows tightly. She knew very well that as a lawyer, the second case that she took on had been a complete failure.
Now that there was news of her misconduct, it would be even harder for her to continue her career as a lawyer.
The car soon stopped in front of a small district. The driver handed her a pair of glasses and a hat.
He brought her to the house that Max often stayed in. The door was opened, and the interior of the house was just like the decoration of his office. It was cold and devoid of warmth.
“Miss Zanders, President Wenley said he’s very busy today, so he told you to make yourself comfortable.”
After Shannon was sent to the door, Max’s subordinates left. She walked into the house and sat there, thinking of countermeasures.
But no matter how she thought about it, she was faced with a dead end.
All these years, Janice’s attacks on her could be described as steady, accurate, and ruthless. She was fortunate to have escaped so many times.
But what was she going to do after this? Most importantly, if she couldn’t go to court, she wouldn’t be able to earn money. It would be difficult for her to survive, let alone take revenge.
Shannon frowned and her phone rang again.
“Casey, how did this progress to this stage? The prosecutors are coming to investigate us, saying that we had created false evidence. We might be jailed.” Pete’s frustrated voice sounded on the other end of the line.
Shannon’s palms were sweating slightly. If it had been a trap from the start, then she had no way out right now.
“Stay at home and don’t go anywhere. Just lie low for a few days, and I’ll think of a way.” Shannon could only calm Pete down first.
After hanging up the call, she felt extremely uneasy. The panic in her eyes made her look extremely haggard. She paced back and forth in the room, feeling increasingly anxious.
She was alone, and had no connections or money. She didn’t even have any foundation in this city. It was indeed difficult for her to fight with Janice.
Shannon was troubled. When she saw the wine cabinet, she opened a bottle of red wine. Perhaps she would feel better after getting drunk.
At Janice’s villa.
Janice held an exquisite and expensive coffee cup and sipped it lightly. She looked at the news that was being broadcasted on television and her red lips curled into a smug smile.
“Janice, you’re so awesome! This is my gift to you. It’s just a small gift,” Janice’s good friend said, pleased that she had obtained a significant payout from the case.
She hurriedly bought Janice a bunch of luxury goods, thanking Janice for helping her find someone to win Gerald’s assets.
Janice smiled slightly. She didn’t want to help this stupid friend; she simply just wanted to get rid of Shannon.
“Why are you thanking me? You deserve all of these things, but we shouldn’t meet often in the future. Everyone knows who I am, and it’s easy to arouse suspicion.” Janice was very cautious. She put down her coffee cup and prepared to send her off.
Her eyes suddenly caught the last scene of the interview at Shannon’s law firm. Shannon seemed to have been escorted out of the law firm by a group of people.
And these people looked very familiar to her.
She stood there and had a bad feeling. She picked up the remote control and froze the image. After a long while, she finally figured out where she had previously seen the people who had protected Shannon.
These people were Max’s people!
“Janice, what’s wrong?” Janice’s good friend was looking at her shocked expression.
Janice fell onto the sofa. The smile on her red lips disappeared completely.
“You should go. Max might be back soon. Aunty Wendy, please see her off.” Janice hid the reason for her distress from her friend.
She had spent so much money to destroy Shannon, but Max took pity on her.
Janice was furious. She must make Shannon walk away voluntarily.
She turned and went to the kitchen. She found the mustard in the corner and took two spoonfuls. She had been allergic to mustard since she was a child.
If something happened to her, Max would definitely come back.
“Contact a few reporters and position them near the villa. Make sure that they take photos of Max worrying about me.”
Janice made the necessary arrangements. This time, she had to make Max stay by her side.
Within a few minutes, Janice fell to the ground, struggling to breathe.
Aunty Wendy immediately called Max and everything went according to Janice’s plan.
Within an hour, everyone in the city found out the news of Janice’s sudden illness, and President Wenley’s worry about her.
Shannon was burning with anxiety in Max’s house. The feeling of having no one to rely on made her sink into despair.
It was a hot afternoon, but Shannon still felt cold as she drank.
She turned on the television to see how far the news about her had progressed.
In the end, when she turned on the television, it was filled with Janice and Max.
“The only daughter of the Yard family had a sudden illness, and her fiancé, Mr. Wenley, is heartbroken…”
The eye-piercing title was like a sword stabbing into Shannon’s heart, especially the word ‘fiancé’.
She felt the room shake, and her legs started to give way.
Her tears flowed uncontrollably. When she left the law firm earlier that day, she was still a little touched.
From the looks of it, perhaps he was only helping her because he didn’t want her to appear in public and cause trouble for him.
A bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face. She was really silly. In the past, she had been silly, and she still was!
She got up and walked out. Even if it wasn’t safe outside, she didn’t want to stay in Max’s house.
However, the door was locked from the outside and couldn’t be opened.
Shannon took out her phone and wanted to call Max, but once she recalled the piece of news, she couldn’t bring herself to make that call. He was surely busy worrying about Janice now.
At the thought of this, her expression suddenly became lonely. She walked to the table, pushed the wine glass to the side, and drank from the bottle.
Now, only alcohol could make her feel slightly better. After drinking an entire bottle of red wine, Shannon fell asleep on the sofa.
In the hospital.

“Max, I’m sorry. I don’t know where I got it, but I suddenly had an allergic reaction. I didn’t cause you any trouble, did I?” When Janice woke up and saw Max, she pretended to be apologetic.
Max stood in front of the window with his back facing her. The situation in the villa remained the same; the food and daily necessities had been strictly screened, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Why are you saying this the moment you wake up? What trouble can you cause me?” Max turned around and approached Janice, his eyes cold.
Janice frowned and suddenly felt uneasy.
“I thought that my illness would trouble you and I didn’t want to bother you, but they were too anxious and insisted on calling you. Did they delay your work?” Janice had an apologetic smile on her face and wanted to hold Max’s hand..
