Reality hit Ethan so hard that he could not look Shandra in the eye.
Thus, he withdrew his gaze.
When Shandra left, Ethan said to Matysh, “Mr. Matysh, hang in there. Ms. Cullen and I will
bail you out as soon as possible."
Matysh watched them leave indifferently and cursed, "Stupid b*tch, who do you think you
are?"
If not for Ethan praising her, he would never have gotten himself a woman to defend him!
When Shandra left the detention center, she heard someone call her name, "Ms. Cullen?"
Shandra stopped in her tracks, turned to where the voice was coming from, and saw that
it was a policeman from the detention center.
He looked familiar, but she could not pinpoint where she knew him from.
Although she used to meet clients here often when she was in A City, the police officers
would change, so she did not expect anyone to know her.
The police officer trotted over with a smile on his face when he confirmed her identity.
"Ms. Cullen, it's really you. I saw you coming in with a foreigner just now, so I thought I
was mistaken. It's been such a long time. How are you?"
"I'm good, and you are..." Shandra could not recall who the policeman was.
Sometimes, she had to deal with the police here because of her work.
She could still recall the policemen she was close with, but she had no memory of the one
in front of her.
The policeman was very young. He had a timid smile with tan skin and bright eyes, but he
still did not ring a bell.
"I'm Sully." The policeman realized that he was being over-familiar. After introducing
himself, he was afraid that Shandra still did not recognize him, so he said, "You helped my
family previously. I was still in A City's Public Security University at that time. My father
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas framed for theft by the department manager, but you thought that he was innocent,
so you took on his case. In the end, it was proven that the person who committed the theft
was the manager, and it had nothing to do with my father. You helped my father, and you
helped me too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to become a policeman."
Shandra started to recall when she heard what the policeman said.
A year before she went abroad, she did take on such a case, and it left an impression on
her.
Sully's family was not well-off, so they hired a lawyer through legal aid. When she came
across that case, she found it suspicious, so she took on the case before legal aid could
even assign them a lawyer.
After an in-depth investigation by the police and her defense, Sully's father's innocence
was proven.
“I remember now. It's been such a long time. You've graduated and achieved your dream.
That's amazing." Shandra remembered Sully saying that his dream was to become a
policeman.
If his father had been sentenced at the time, he would not have been able to achieve his
dream.
"You remember!" Sully was filled with excitement as he did not expect the busy Shandra
to remember that incident.
"Yup, is your father doing well?" Shandra asked. Sully's father was a hard-working person,
and a person like him should not go to jail for being framed.
"He's doing pretty well. After winning the lawsuit, the police vindicated him. Now, he's
changed companies and even got promoted." Sully felt that Shandra was their family's
great savior.
His family's lives began to improve ever since she appeared to help them.
Shandra could not help but sigh at the wonderful news.
Another voice sounded, "Sully, the meeting is about to start. What are you doing there?"
Sully turned toward the voice and shouted, "Chief Will."
Shandra watched Chief Will walk over with a nod and a smile.
She had met Chief Will a few years ago, and they were well-acquainted at that time.
"Ms. Cullen, have you returned from abroad?" Chief Will was surprised to find out that the
person Sully was talking to turned out to be Shandra.
Sometime after Shandra went abroad, he realized that he had not seen Shandra for a long
time.
One time, he saw a lawyer from the same law firm as Shandra and asked about her. Only
then did he find out that Shandra had gone overseas to further her studies.
"Yes, Chief Will. Long time no see," Shandra greeted him with a smile.
"It really has been a long time. You were abroad for several years. I thought you wouldn't
come back." When Chief Will saw someone he knew, he stopped rushing Sully to the
meeting. Instead, he started chatting with Shandra as well.
He admired Shandra in the past and even thought of pairing her up with his son.
However, Shandra had certain criteria for marriage. She had to marry someone in the
same line of work as her, so Chief Will gave up that notion.
"After finishing my studies, I still feel like my home country is the best, so I came back,"
Shandra said with a smile. When she first came back, people even spread rumors that she
came back because she had a hard time mixing well abroad.
That was not actually the case. She was doing so well abroad that the law firms there
wanted her to stay when she decided to come back.
She really missed home...
Not to mention, she wanted to get rid of the plague that was Walter.
"It's good that you're back. It seems like you're taking cases again?" Chief Will glanced at
Shandra's attire, which was the usual lawyer look for meeting clients.
“Yes, I took up a case." Shandra nodded.

Chief Will did not continue to question. If he was curious about the case, he could check
the records to find out, so there was no need to ask her.
He glanced at the time and said, "Ms. Cullen, I have a meeting to attend, so I'll see you
soon."
"Alright, take care, Chief Will." Shandra did not expect Chief Will to still be the head of the
detention center. As she was about to leave after seeing them off, Ethan walked over to
her.
"You know people here?" Ethan was a little surprised. He was watching from a distance
just now and thought that the two policemen were friendly to Shandra.
"Almost all lawyers know the people in charge here." Shandra did not explain much. The
lawyers may know them, but they did not necessarily know the lawyers.
Chief Will knew her because he admired her.
"What does the middle-aged man do?" Ethan asked. He could tell that the young guy was
a policeman, but he was not sure about the older one.
He was not from A City, so he could not tell the other person's position from their uniform.
Shandra walked out of the detention center. "He's the chief."
Ethan was intrigued. "You know the chief here!"
Shandra did not reply as she had heard this sentence many times before.
Some people thought that she would be able to bring prohibited things for her client just
because she knew the chief.
Ethan's tone of voice was the same as those people's.
Ethan said, "Then can you make arrangements for Mr. Matysh to help ease his life in
there?"
Shandra stopped and stood beside her car.
The driver Ethan hired opened the car door, but she did not enter. Instead, she looked at
Ethan and expressed her contempt for Matysh. "Other people require basic necessities
that can be sent in through regular procedures, but Mr. Matysh thinks that alcohol and sex
are necessities. Mr. Ethan, let's be realistic here."
