Marcos reckoned that a woman like her might be able to help Matysh. "Ms. Cullen, I'm
looking forward to your brilliant performance in court. We're all counting on you to get my
Uncle Matysh released."
His tone was calm. It was as calm as his smile.
Shandra could not figure out how much he wanted her to help Matysh.
Of course, she could not sense his reluctance either.
He seemed indifferent, as though it had nothing to do with him.
Shandra knew that it was hard to fathom this man's thoughts. Although Matysh's case had
nothing to do with him, she felt it was necessary to understand this person.
She had no problem dealing with money, but winning this lawsuit would bring her even
more.
"Don't worry. I won't disappoint the client's expectations or Mr. Ethan's expectations," said
Shandra as she glanced at Ethan.
Ethan was somewhat known internationally, but compared to Shandra's fame, he fell a bit
short.
She was a renowned lawyer both domestically and internationally, while Ethan, even
though he had some recognition internationally, operated mostly within Russia.
Hence, his reputation was limited, and they had never crossed paths before.
Marcos did not continue the conversation and simply closed the door to the suite.
Ethan furrowed his brows and asked, "Where are you going again?"
Marcos frowned when he heard him. It felt like a parent questioning their child who
insisted on going out to play instead of studying.
"Just going out for a walk," replied Marcos, feeling annoyed. Ethan had been acting like an
overbearing guardian, monitoring his every move for the past few days.
Besides, there were also people arranged by the Abaza family out there.
Even if he went out to buy something without meeting anyone, those people would follow
him as though they were filming a movie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarcos was growing increasingly eager to escape this situation.
The best way to break free from it would be to let Mr. Matysh go to prison. Once he was
imprisoned, Marcos would be the one to manage M Group, and the elders would no longer
favor Matysh, who was being rehabilitated in jail.
"Now that Mr. Matysh is still under restrictions, why do you keep going outside? What will
he think if he finds out about this?" scolded Ethan while he furrowed his brows. He was
using Matysh's identity to suppress Marcos.
Marcos did not respond, but Shandra already had a frown on her face.
What was the deal with this lawyer hired by Matysh?
So what if someone in the family was in prison? Did that mean others were not allowed to
leave the house?
However, Shandra refrained from speaking, considering that she accepted the job at
Ethan's request.
Marcos replied, "Well, then how about I have a good conversation with Ms. Cullen about
Uncle Matysh's case?"
Ethan became alert when he heard that.
Matysh had said that Marcos should not have any involvement in the case as it would
increase the difficulty of his release. He retorted, "Hmph, you heartless man. You'll be in
trouble if Old Master Abaza finds out about this."
"Doesn’t he already know about this?" questioned Marcos. There were people waiting for
him outside the hotel.
Ethan paused for a moment, appearing calm on the surface but his mind filled with
astonishment. How did he know?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" asked Ethan.
"Mr. Ethan, haven't you been keeping an eye on me? You report my actions to Grandpa.
Since you think I should focus on helping Uncle Matysh, why don't you ask Grandpa how I
should proceed?" Marcos had been feeling down these past few days because he could not
find his biological mother. Also, Ethan was constantly messing with his mindset and
provoking him. He could not help but vent his emotions on him.
Ethan let out a sigh of relief, realizing that Marcos still did not know about the people the
old master had sent to watch him.
"I haven't been watching you all the time. I just think you should put in more effort." Ethan
paused for a moment, suddenly remembering that Marcos should not be putting in too
much effort. He added, "Forget it. It's nothing."
After that, he looked at Shandra and said, "Ms. Cullen, let's go to the prison first. I'll
introduce you to Mr. Matysh."
"Alright." Shandra withdrew her gaze from Marcos and followed Ethan out.
Marcos did not rush to go out. Instead, he returned to his suite and sent a message to
Luke: [Ethan has found a local lawyer to defend Matysh. The lawyer's name is Shandra
Cullen, a female lawyer.]
After sending the message, he took a photo of Shandra's business card and sent it to Luke.
When Luke saw Marcos' message and confirmed it on the business card, he realized that
Shandra was Walter’s ex-girlfriend.
Shandra had initially served as Xavier’s representative lawyer in handling the divorce with
Bianca.
Walter was Bianca’s lawyer.
In the end, Bianca divorced Xavier. After that incident, Shandra went abroad to further her
studies and never returned.
Walter followed Shandra abroad to continue his studies too.
The two had feelings for each other back then. If it were not for the misunderstandings
between them, they would not have separated.
Walter had always wanted to get back together with Shandra, but she was stubborn. Thus,
he could only continue to be with her in this way.
After Walter left, the company's legal representative was replaced by Mr. Zac.
Luke replied: [Shandra is Matysh's lawyer? Then let's look for Walter to defend the victim's
family.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he dialed Walter's number. "Are you back in the country?"
Walter was slightly surprised. "How did you know? I just came back a couple of days ago."
"Shandra has returned and taken on cases. Since she's back, how could you not be?" Luke
understood the situation very well. Walter was a coward when it came to relationships.
His shrewdness in handling legal matters did not extend to his personal life.
If Shandra did not want to get back together with him, he would pursue her while resorting
to the most clumsy methods.
Even as a bystander, Luke found his way of pursuing a woman terrible.
"You catch on quickly," Walter replied with a touch of helplessness in his tone. He thought
Shandra would only return to A City in a month, but she was much quicker than he
expected.
She was so quick that he was slow to react and had to quickly finish things abroad before
returning to the country.
Meanwhile, Shandra had already found a law firm and started taking on cases.
Shandra's involvement in the case had something to do with him. If he agreed to help
Luke with this case, would it not provide him with more opportunities to be close to
Shandra?
"I'll take it," replied Walter. His tone may have been calm, but an intelligent person like
Luke could sense the underlying excitement in this tone.
The man could not contain his enthusiasm when it came to facing Shandra.
Luke frowned. Sometimes, he felt that Walter was chasing after Shandra just to provoke
her.
Otherwise, after so many years of effort, her heart of stone should have melted by now.
There were no results after all these years. There was only one possible explanation—
Walter had been using the wrong methods.
No matter if it was right or wrong, Luke had made up his mind to pit Walter against
Shandra.
Shandra's mouth was perfectly suited for being a lawyer. Ordinary lawyers would not
stand a chance against her.
Except for Walter...
Walter was the biggest nemesis in her professional career.
