“Your friend is undergoing investigations, so he can’t help you at all. You’d better listen to me obediently. I might help you if I’m in a good mood.” Max walked to her side, and once again correctly guessed what she was thinking.

Shannon suddenly felt nervous. Pete was being investigated too? But why?

“Pete isn’t my friend. He’s my fiancé. Hurry up and open the door. I need to go and help him.” Shannon walked to Max’s side, and deliberately exaggerated Pete’s identity.

Max looked at Shannon, his gaze seemingly piercing through her.

“Oh? You’ll need money to save your fiancé. Are you sure you don’t want to have breakfast with me?” As he approached her, his voice was extremely cold.

Shannon knew that she had no choice but to follow him out.

‘The car was already waiting downstairs. Shannon got into the car, and her mind was full of worries. Soon, the car stopped at a luxurious restaurant.

She got out of the car with Max. Wasn’t it just having breakfast together? If he wasn’t afraid of being seen, why should she?

“I want my usual, but two portions of it.” Max unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down at the best table in the restaurant.

Shannon was not in the mood to appreciate the exquisite breakfast. Her mind was preoccupied with concern about Pete’s safety.

“president Wenley.”

Just as Shannon was deep in thought, Jake whispered something into Max’s ear.

‘Max got up and walked towards a corner. Shannon immediately became nervous. He wouldn’t leave, would he? She still didn’t have any money!

“Janice, this is my first time here. I heard that this place only accepts reservations.”

“This is Max’s property. I don’t need a reservation when I eat here.”

Shannon was feeling vexed when she suddenly heard two voices that shocked her.

She turned to look in the direction of the voices. True enough, one of them belonged to Janice. As for the woman beside Janice? She was the defendant in Gerald’s lawsuit.

A sneer appeared on Shannon’s face. So, it was really true. She was right. It was really a trap.

“Why are you here? Janice, this woman… Isn’t she being investigated? How did she get a reservation here?” The woman pointed at Shannon, stuttering as she said this.

Janice looked at Shannon angrily. Reporters had been looking everywhere for her, but she was actually hiding here!

“Miss Zanders, you seem to be in a good mood. To think that you even have the mood to enjoy your breakfast at a time like this.” Janice pulled out a chair and sat opposite Shannon.

Shannon sneered. Did this mean that she had finally met her match?

“With you around, Janice, the amount of times I’ll be in a good mood will surely reduce drastically. I might as well just let it pass, and enjoy the present moment.” Shannon smiled and she suppressed her anger, even though she wished she could toss her breakfast onto Janice instead.

Janice stared at Shannon, and a smug expression gradually appeared in her eyes.

“If you had obediently left the city, I definitely wouldn’t have made things difficult for you. However, you ignored my words, and even though Max didn’t even want to take a second look at you, you…”

“He probably really wanted to see me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen asleep on his bed last night.” Shannon raised her chin, and her eyes were filled with a trace of a smile.

Janice suddenly stood up from her chair, and the smugness in her eyes disappeared. In its place, was a look of ruthlessness.

“You’re just spouting nonsense!” She pointed at Shannon directly, unable to control her anger.

Shannon chuckled. She didn’t expect the usually dignified and gentle Janice to lose control at the mention of Max.

“I’m spouting nonsense? Didn’t you plant spies and reporters at my house? Since there weren’t any new reports, I definitely wasn’t at home. And where would the safest place be? It must be President Wenley’s house. Aren’t I right?” Shannon crossed her arms, deliberately angering Janice.

Janice was indeed furious. She stood opposite Shannon, fuming so much that she was about to explode.

She didn’t see it wrongly. The people in Shannon’s law firm were really Max’s subordinates. They were really together last night.

“Shannon, you’re just Max’s ex. Do you think he really likes you? You…”

Shannon interrupted Janice, “You’re right. I’m Max’s ex, but if I’m not mistaken, you used to be his ex too, right? Yet, you managed to drive Max and I to a divorce back then. If that’s the case, why can’t I, another ex, separate you from Max now?”

She knew very well where Janice’s pain stemmed from. After all these years of suffering under this woman’s devious schemes, it was time for her to take her revenge.

“Don’t you even think about it! Who do you think you are? You’re just a woman without a background, looks, and talent! Max would only fall for you if he was blind!” Shannon had struck Janice where it hurt the most, so the latter had completely lost her rationality, and she shouted at the top of her voice.

Max had been walking towards them. Shannon stood up and approached Janice, her pink lips curled into a disdainful smile.

“alright, let’s wait and see, whether the person whom Max likes is you or me!” Shannon deliberately provoked Janice, driving her crazy.

True enough, Janice couldn’t hold it in anymore. Max hadn’t touched her at all these few years. She didn’t need to think to know who the person in Max’s heart was.

“Get lost! I’m telling you, don’t even think about getting close to Max! He’s mine! Mine!” Janice stepped forward and pushed Shannon roughly.

Shannon fell back, and her entire body was pressed against the ground. The cut she got yesterday had split open again, and she immediately felt excruciating pain.

A trace of surprise flashed across Max’s cold eyes when he saw this scene. He had never seen Janice lose control like this.

“Tm going to tear you apart…” Janice turned around and was about to pierce her fork into Shannon when her hand was grabbed by someone.

‘When she saw Max, her grip loosened, and the fork fell to the ground. Her eyes were instantly filled with fear.

“It hurts,” Shannon mumbled.

Max immediately helped her up. When he saw the blood seeping from her fingers, a trace of nervousness flashed across his deep eyes.

“Max, I… I didn’t do it on purpose. She, she…”

“She heard that I was at your place last night, that’s why she acted like this. I told her that all I did was to prepare a meal for you, and that I was planning to leave today, but she didn’t believe me.” Shannon leaned against Max and deliberately added fuel to the fire.

She had been hunted by Janice for so long, and her career had been ruined as soon as she started. This time, she had to fight back!

Janice was shocked. Cooking a meal? They spent the night together just doing that?

“Max, I was in the hospital yesterday. I
