Unexpectedly, all the people who were involved in influencing the outcome of Gerald’s case were arrested and investigated.
Shannon couldn’t have pulled this off alone. Max must have helped her somehow.
Janice stood in front of the huge French windows of her villa. Max had bought this place for her, but he didn’t even come here. On the other hand, Shannon was a divorced woman, yet he did so many things for her.
She was afraid. Although she had already cleaned her own tracks, she was still afraid. Max was an extremely intelligent person; it wouldn’t be long before he discovered the truth.
“You must clean all our tracks. Don’t let Max find anything about what happened in New York. And no matter what happens, don’t let Max contact Shannon’s good friend, Pete.” Janice walked into the study and called her subordinate.
She knew that if this continued, Max would definitely investigate Shannon’s situation in New York. She couldn’t let Max find out that she was involved in any of those matters.
Inside the Wenley Corporation building.
‘Max was staring at the news about Shannon on his computer. Dressed in a business suit and with simple makeup on her face, she stood among the reporters without a hint of panic.
He recalled how Shannon was like in the past, as well as how she acted a few days ago. She had really changed too much.
“President, you were looking for me?”
Max had pressed the intercom, and Jake immediately went to his office.
“How’s the investigation going?”
‘Max’s question made Jake panic a little. It had only been two days, and no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t possibly find any leads within such a short span of time.
“There is still no news from New York. I wanted to contact Pete this morning, but my calls to him couldn’t get through. However, I do have some other news.” Jake lowered his head and spoke cautiously.
Max looked up coldly. Other news?
“It’s about Matthew. Matthew and Miss Zanders have known each other since they were in university. It’s said that he has always liked Miss Zanders. Back then, he was the one who took Miss Zanders away from the hospital. Also, according to reliable sources, Miss Zanders had lived in his house.” Jake told
Max about his findings.
When he heard that Shannon had lived in Matthew’s house, Max’s eyes immediately turned cold.
Back then, they had just gotten divorced, but she had actually moved into a man’s house!
“But they said that Miss Zanders lived alone in Matthew’s house.” Jake noticed the coldness in Max’s eyes and immediately added.
However, the coldness in Max’s eyes didn’t disappear. A man loves a woman, but this woman didn’t cut off ties with this man. Didn’t this mean that this woman also liked this man?
“By the way, there’s one more thing. According to Miss Zanders’ assistant, Matthew confessed his love to her at the law firm, but she rejected him.”
After Jake said this, the coldness in Max’s eyes finally dissipated.
“Tell the person-in-charge of the Yard Corporation that the contract is ready for signing,” Max suddenly ordered Jake.
Jake was a little confused, but he still turned around to inform the Yards.
Max knew that Shannon didn’t have any enemies other than Janice. However, if Janice was really the mastermind, he had to do something to make her lower her guard. Only then could he find out what he wanted.
At three in the afternoon, Max successfully signed the contract with the President of the Yard Corporation.
In this city, anything that happened in the Wenley Corporation would be on the news.

They had just signed the contract, and in the next moment, the news popped up on Shannon’s phone.
“The Wenley Corporation and the Yard Corporation have successfully signed a contract to jointly run the Green Peaks project. To add on to the joyous occasion, there have also been rumors that the two families might be linked by marriage soon.”
The headlines were all about Max and Janice. Shannon smirked coldly.
He was still with her two nights ago, but now, the nervousness in his eyes and his concerned tone that night all seemed to be an act.
The woman in his heart would always be Janice, and she was just a tool for his amusement.
Her phone suddenly rang, and a trace of frustration flashed across Shannon’s eyes when she saw Kevin’s name.
He must have wanted her back at work because he saw that she had won the lawsuit.
“Shannon, where are you? Everyone in the law firm is waiting for you so that we can celebrate your victory. It’s amazing that you managed such a big case without much help.” Kevin was extremely excited.
Now, he wanted Shannon to attend the party so that everyone would know that she worked for him.
Shannon’s reputation was rising at this point. She was a walking advertisement for the law firm, a huge publicity banner!
“Forget it. I don’t like to attend such gatherings. There’s a folder on my desk, and in it is my resignation letter. Thank you for taking care of me this week. Let’s meet again if we’re fated to meet.” Shannon hung up coldly.
‘When Kevin heard Shannon’s words, he was furious. He had personally picked up a treasure, but in the end, he had also personally lost it.
Shannon didn’t want to stay in this law firm anymore. It was a firm that didn’t know how to protect its lawyers, and was simply concerned about protecting itself.
She didn’t want to stay any longer, nor did she need to.
Shannon felt very tired. All these years, she had lived in panic, not knowing when she would lose her life.
Every single day, she had to be very careful, and was forced to hide herself. She was so tired that she was on the verge of a breakdown.
She needed to rest for a while before she thought about what to do next. Anyway, she didn’t lack money now. Besides, if she wanted to continue being a lawyer, there would be many law firms waiting for her.
The doorbell rang, “Shannon, it’s Matthew. Are you home?”
Shannon immediately went to open the door. Matthew was standing outside with a bouquet of flowers in one hand, and an exquisite box in the other.
“Tl take the flowers, but I won’t take the box. It’s too expensive a gift, so I don’t want it.” Shannon held the flowers in her hands and pushed the box aside.
Matthew followed her into the house and watched her put the flowers into a vase.
“You haven’t even opened this box, so how do you know that it’s expensive? Why don’t you open it first? I guarantee that you’ll definitely like it.” Max approached her with the box.

Shannon opened the box, only to see a business card inside.
Her name was printed on the name card, but it was exquisitely printed.
However, what was Matthew trying to do?
“Lknow that you’re not interested in jewelry. Now that something like this has happened, you definitely won’t be staying at Kevin’s law firm anymore. However, I don’t think you’ll reject the idea of starting a law firm together, right?” Matthew walked to Shannon’s side, his tone still warm.
Shannon’s eyes lit up. That was true. She was still very interested in owning her own law firm.
Matthew handed a photo to Shannon, “The person I’m recommending is from the same batch as you. Her name is Tasha White.. Do you remember her?”
