Now, the nature of this case had become even more serious.
Shandra did not play along with him and asked in a serious tone, "Do you know how
severe the sentencing can be in A City for this? Mr. Ethan, you shouldn't have withheld any
information when you sought a lawyer!"
Ethan nodded repeatedly and replied, "It's just a difference of a few more or fewer years in
the sentence, but I believe you, Ms. Cullen. You have the ability to settle this matter for Mr.
Matysh."
Shandra rolled her eyes. She did not want to hear such flattery.
Did settling this matter for Matysh not mean helping him to avoid imprisonment?
Unless there was a complete reversal in the chain of evidence, there was nothing she
could do about it. She could only fight for a slightly reduced prison term for Matysh.
Shandra decided not to argue about that and asked, "Tell me about Mr. Marcos."
"Are you interested in him?" Ethan could not help but make a connection when he saw her
sudden curiosity about Marcos.
"Since the day I decided to become a lawyer, I've made up my mind that my husband can
only be from the legal field, Mr. Ethan. If I'm defending Mr. Matysh, I need to understand
everything about him—his relationships and even his background. Otherwise, it'll be
difficult for me to handle this matter." Shandra's expression turned serious as she
mentioned that her husband had to be from the legal field, reminding her of Walter.
He was like a lingering ghost!
He would show up at every place she went. It was as though he was tormenting her like he
was taking revenge.
Shandra even felt that if it were not for her strong psychological resilience, she would
have been emotionally shattered by Walter's behavior.
Fortunately, tough people could not be easily defeated!
Ethan thought to himself that it was not surprising for him to think that way in the first
place when he heard that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, Marcos was considered outstanding in the eyes of many women who desired to
be his wife.
However, those women only had such thoughts because Marcos was managing M Group
now.
Ethan believed that if Matysh was fine, Marcos would be in trouble.
Would those women still cling to Marcos with their burning desires at that time?
Ethan looked at Shandra with a serious expression on his face. He reckoned that her
reasons were reasonable.
Thus, he nodded and provided Shandra with some basic information about Marcos.
Shandra recorded the important details while she listened to him.
Matysh and Marcos appeared to have a harmonious uncle-nephew relationship, but in
reality, they were competitors.
If Matysh went to jail, Marcos would be the biggest beneficiary.
Even though Marcos looked like he did not set Matysh up, he certainly did not want him to
live comfortably...
Shandra took a bunch of notes and concluded that it would be best to investigate this case
without Marcos' knowledge.
Furthermore, it seemed like Marcos had a lot to say to Luke. Considering Luke's connection
to the Norman family, they should also keep it from him.
Shandra felt annoyed. Luke reminded her of Walter.
She secretly returned to the country, and he should have known that she came back.
Would he follow her back or continue his studies over there?
If he returned, would Luke seek help from Walter for defense?
"It's easy for us to bypass Mr. Marcos in our investigation. He's Russian and doesn't have
much influence here. But we also have to hide it from Luke," said Shandra as she leaned
back a little to relieve her fatigue.
She had been taking on cases without much rest after she returned. She was exhausted
now.
"The old master has made arrangements here. Even though we're from Russia, it's still
easy to send someone over to assist with the investigation," replied Ethan.
Matysh's incident had made the old master, who was in Russia, no longer trust the local
citizens here.
They would not seek help from local hooligans to get things done here.
They would be sending the Russians.
Shandra shook her head. "No, we can't involve the Russians. It's too conspicuous. The
majority here are local citizens, and you should find them to handle the job."
A bunch of Russian faces investigating the matter?
It was impossible for Luke not to find out about it!
Ethan frowned, feeling perplexed. The Russians had not considered this aspect.
After all, they did not have many businesses in A City. They had little experience in dealing
with such matters.
What Shandra said made sense!
"But the old master doesn't trust anyone here," said Ethan.
Shandra gave him a cold look. "Tell the old master that I am a Caucasian. If he doesn't
trust the Caucasians, I don't mind terminating our contract."
Ethan realized that his words had inadvertently shown discrimination and made Shandra
uncomfortable.
He quickly corrected himself, "I mean the old master doesn't trust the thugs here. He has
a hundred percent trust in talented individuals like you, Ms. Cullen."
Shandra began to doubt how Ethan became a lawyer.
Being a lawyer meant not harboring discriminatory views, but Ethan seemed to have quite
a strong racial bias.
No wonder he only had a mediocre reputation internationally.
Despite serving the Matysh family for so long, how could someone with racial
discrimination truly become a formidable lawyer?
Sometimes, being someone with racial advantages did not make them right. Being able to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtreat everyone equally was the essence of being a lawyer!
Shandra's tone was firm. "Regardless of who your old man discriminates against or
distrusts, this is A City. If we use the people you send over and we discover any evidence
beneficial to Mr. Matysh, the other side will most likely find out about it too. If they have
prior knowledge, they'll have enough time to counter it. Think carefully about what I'm
saying because all of this can affect how long Mr. Matysh will be in prison."
Ethan felt that she made a valid point.
If he compared Shandra to the interpreter, he considered the person Marcos hired to be
useless.
That was why Matysh told him not to let Marcos interfere in this matter.
The interpreter only understood the translation and never considered these things. It was
surprising that the interpreter had a background in law and Russian language studies.
Shandra, whom he found, was truly impressive!
"I will convey your words to the old master." Ethan could not make the decision and
needed to consult the old master's opinion.
Shandra felt impatient all of a sudden. If she had known it would be like this, she would
not have eagerly taken on this case.
She rubbed her throbbing forehead.
If Luke and Walter got involved, she would really have a headache.
It was not that she was afraid, but who would willingly add trouble and difficulty to
something that could go smoothly?
Shandra followed Ethan and went to meet Matysh.
When Matysh was brought in by the police and saw Shandra, his eyes lit up!
This woman was stunning!
Matysh had been deprived of female companionship for a while. Hence, his eyes naturally
sparkled when he saw a beautiful woman.
Before he had the chance to fulfill his desires with Luca, he found someone who resembled
her.
It did not matter to him whether the woman looked like Luca or not. He would be after any
pretty girl he laid his eyes on!
