“I don’t think it’s necessary. Right now, we are enjoying our freedom, aren’t we?” Max replied coldly to Janice, and there was no ripple of emotion in his eyes.

Janice felt that his voice was like a bolt from the blue. Did he mean that he was going to treat her like this for their whole life?

“Max, do you not love me anymore?” Janice grabbed Max’s hand.

After all these years, she had already confirmed this fact. However, she was unwilling to accept it. She wanted to hear it from him personally.

“If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t be with you. You know that the Wenley Corporation isn’t completely in my hands yet, so I can’t divide my attention on other matters.” Max was curt as he fobbed Janice off.

Janice dug her nails into her palms and tried her best to calm herself down.

Even when Shannon wasn’t around in the past, she couldn’t marry him. Now that that woman was back, was everything still possible?

It wasn’t that he was busy. After all, how long would it take to register a marriage?

Janice felt her body stiffen. She understood what he meant.

She didn’t dare to say anything else. She had already spent so much time and effort on Max; if she were to give up now, the entire city would know that she was a woman that Max had discarded after having his fun with her.

So long as she got rid of Shannon, this man would belong to her forever.

At that moment, Shannon was rushing home. She was already unable to compose herself without even meeting Max, but seeing him had made things worse.

She suddenly recalled the day when she waited for him to return home, her heart filled with expectations. She had even specially bought a set of sexy lingerie to surprise him in.

Yet, he had brought Janice home, immediately throwing her into the depths of hell! She really wanted revenge!

She wanted revenge, wanted Max to know that she could choose not to love him nor care about anything.

However, she couldn’t do it. She almost broke down just now.

She wanted to ask him why. Why did he fall in love with a woman like Janice, and why was he so cruel to force her to undergo the abortion?

The car sped faster. The anger and hatred in Shannon’s heart devoured her bit by bit, causing her to lose her rationality.

Shannon stepped on the accelerator and the car raced ahead.

All of a sudden, there was a blinding light in front of her. A large truck was approaching.

She immediately swerved the car and slammed onto the brakes. The airbag popped out, and she froze in the car.

“You’re speeding! How can you be speeding on this road?” she said to herself. Not long after, someone knocked impatiently on Shannon’s window.

With some effort, she opened the car door. The sight before her terrified her. The van had slammed into the protective fence and there was a giant dent in her car. She had just had a close brush with death.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Call the traffic police to handle it. I’ll take full responsibility.” Shannon tried her best to regain her senses and deal with the mess before her.

When the other party saw that she was female, he didn’t make things difficult for her. They waited for the traffic police together to deal with the accident.

By the time she was done, it was already late at night and Shannon was exhausted.

She had actually lost control over the unchangeable past.

It seemed like she really had to go to the psychiatrist to undergo a full evaluation. She had escaped so many calamities and returned. She couldn’t just die here!

Shannon returned home and showered. Afraid that she wouldn’t be able to sleep, she increased the dosage of her sleeping pills.

Even so, she woke up before dawn the next morning.

She checked LG’s copyright infringement case again. The court session was the day after tomorrow. She had to win this time!

Shannon didn’t return to the company. She felt that she still needed to find some hard evidence.

After much thought, she disguised herself as a job applicant and went to the accused’s factory and remained in the factory for two days.

When she finally obtained the evidence, she was almost caught. However, she was very happy. With this evidence, she would definitely win the case.

The day of the court hearing arrived very quickly. Shannon was dressed in a black business suit and pink heels. Her long hair was tied up high, revealing her beautiful neck.

Today was an important day, so she even had light makeup on, giving off an aura that she usually didn’t have.

“Defendant, you claim that you didn’t infringe on our brand. May I know what this is?” Shannon went up and presented her evidence.

Because the other party was afraid of being sued, they always used two sets of printing systems and produced two sets of products. In order to win this case, the other party spent a lot of effort to pull back the products that had infringed on the copyrights.

Shannon had spent a lot of effort to obtain these goods, which was enough to make the other party face a huge compensation fine.

“I won’t admit it. This is—”

“Defendant, I haven’t asked you to confess. I have another piece of evidence, and I am requesting to play this.” Shannon held a thumb drive in her hand. Inside was the design proposal of the defendant’s company.

When the defendant’s company saw what Shannon had, they didn’t dare to say anything.

The case was closed very quickly. Shannon had won!

“Casey, you’re the hero of our law firm! We got twenty million dollars!” Pete was outside the court. When he saw her come out, he immediately hugged her and spun her in a circle.

Ever since she returned to this city, she hadn’t smiled at all. Now, she could finally be happy for a moment.

The news of Shannon winning the lawsuit for LG spread throughout the city. Max couldn’t believe that she had actually snuck into the other party’s factory just to win the lawsuit.

She was such a weak person, and yet she dared to go undercover?

“Jake, send a few people to tail her.” Max ordered his secretary.

Jake frowned outside the door. Who was he supposed to follow?

“President, are you talking about Miss Zanders?” Jake didn’t dare to make an assumption, so he clarified with Max.

Max looked at Jake coldly. Jake immediately understood what was going on and immediately turned to make arrangements outside.

He sat in the office and photos and news of Shannon appeared on the computer screen.

They had been together for so long, but he had never realized that she still had an aura when she put on makeup.

He had always thought that she was a weak woman without any temper. He didn’t expect that she could actually win the lawsuit with her own capabilities.

After Shannon won the lawsuit, she became famous. The next day, many people arrived at their firm.

“Gina, filter the cases out, and pick one that’s worth taking on.” After instructing her assistant, Shannon returned to the office and turned on her computer.

There was an endless stream of news about her online. She didn’t expect that one day, she could also be in the headlines.

“Miss Zanders, these are the results of my screening. This is a divorce case, while this is a libel case. Both parties are offering good remuneration. Please take a look.” In the afternoon, two cases appeared on Shannon’s desk.

She took a glance. Gina was indeed capable. She was especially interested in both cases.

“I suggest we take this case, because I feel that defamation is not easy to fight. We have just won our first lawsuit, and we must make the reputation of the law firm known!” Pete went to Shannon’s office with an excited expression, wanting her to take the divorce case.

However, Shannon dug out the slander case. Her current self loved difficult challenges.

“You like challenges too, don’t you? I don’t want us to be invincible, I just want to do as I wish.” Shannon smiled and placed the case in Pete’s hands..
