Shandra's mockery made Ethan's face turn sour.
However, he did not refute her.
It only took a while for Shandra to effortlessly coax Matysh into revealing the truth. She
certainly had some skills. Ethan recalled how he had assured her earlier that the
testimonies provided by Matysh were genuine. He had been so confident back then, but
now he felt utterly embarrassed.
"Cough, cough. Ms. Cullen, let's get in the car," said the interpreter. He could not help but
secretly respect Shandra as well.
Ethan claimed to be a world-renowned lawyer, but Shandra seemed more fitted for that
title...
Shandra brushed Ethan off and said, "I'll take a cab myself, Mr. Ethan. I'll contact you in
advance if there's anything to be done."
After that, she picked up her phone and opened the e-hailing app.
This area was quite remote. She waited for a while, but no drivers accepted her request.
Nevertheless, Shandra still refused to get into Ethan's car.
Working together with him would lower her IQ.
The interpreter followed Ethan's instructions, approached Shandra, and invited her to get
into the car. "Ms. Cullen, it's not easy to get a cab here. Why don't you get in the car first?
We can have the driver take you back to the law firm."
As soon as he said that, Shandra saw a bus slowly approaching. There was a bus stop
nearby. She replied, "It's okay. I'll take the bus. It's the same."
After that, Shandra walked to the bus stop. After the bus came to a halt, she got on. Then,
she opened her phone to make the payment, walked to the back of the bus, and sat down.
There was only a single bus route that provided access to the entire city in this area.
To cater to the convenience of the residents, this bus route had multiple stops and drove a
longer route. It usually took around an hour by car to get back to the city center, but this
bus would take over two hours.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShandra did not mind traveling an extra hour on the bus. She thought it was fine as long
as she did not have to ride in the same car as Ethan.
She thought to herself that since she had returned to A City to pursue her career, she
would need to buy a car. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go anywhere.
Feeling frustrated after being tricked by Ethan and realizing that Matysh dared to have
inappropriate ideas toward her, Shandra was in a terrible mood now.
She called her assistant. "Yvette, get me a car."
Yvette was startled for a moment. A car?
She knew how to handle legal matters and was proficient in legal affairs, but buying a car?
Yvette knew nothing about cars...
"Ms. Cullen, what brand are you looking for?" Although she did not understand, as her
assistant, her job was to help Shandra through her difficulties.
What brand?
Shandra was stunned for a moment. She just wanted a car for her transportation needs as
it would be more convenient for her. Even though the law firm would provide her with a
car in the future, that was still half a year away.
She was not short of funds to buy a car. She did not need the law firm's help to buy a car
either.
Shandra remembered the car she used to drive before. Walter had picked it for her. The
car had a good performance. It was also classy and suitable for a lady...
She did not know much about cars. It was good enough as long as the car was functional.
After that, she sold the car to the second-hand car market when she went abroad.
"Probably a Lexus..." Shandra could not recall the model, but she remembered the brand.
"What's your budget?" Yvette noted the brand Shandra wanted.
"Anything below 600,000 dollars will do," replied Shandra. She had earned quite a bit of
money but had no particular preferences or demands when it came to cars. Hence, she
did not need to buy something too expensive. Besides, a car priced over 600,000 dollars
was already quite costly for an average whitecollar worker. She paused for a moment and
added her requirements, "It should have a classy appearance and must be suitable for a
lady to drive. I don't know much about car performance. I'll leave that to you. Oh, it has to
be safe to drive too."
"Okay, Ms. Cullen. I'll go take a look for you." Yvette knew nothing about cars, but she had
a boyfriend who knew about them.
"Great. Make it quick. I don't want to wait." Shandra urgently needed a car.
Yvette clicked her tongue. Usually, the law firm would provide a car for the lawyers,
especially for outstanding lawyers like Shandra. They would definitely be given a car.
However, the condition for receiving a car was that Shandra had to stay at the law firm for
at least six months.
Yvette could not help but marvel at how much money Shandra could earn when she heard
about Shandra's budget and how urgently she wanted it.
"Okay, got it. Ms. Cullen, I heard some news..." Yvette hesitated for a moment but decided
to share the news she had heard.
"What news?" Shandra gazed at the scenery outside the bus and took a deep breath.
Before she became a famous lawyer, she often took this bus to the detention center to
meet with her clients.
She had no money and no car at that time, but she was full of hope for the future.
Now, as she took the bus again, she noticed that there were more stops along the route.
"I heard that Mr. Long has returned. He joined the law firm upstairs..." whispered Yvette.
Yvette was from the same school as Shandra, and they took the same major. She had
heard about what happened between Shandra and Walter from her senior schoolmates.
Even though Shandra and Walter had graduated many years ago, they were still
considered the idols of their law school. That was why Yvette knew about their history.
In the end, she decided to tell Shandra about it...
It was because Yvette knew that the two of them were bound to meet again since Walter
was working in the law firm upstairs.
Walter Long?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis name had come across her mind a few times today, but it was the first time she heard
it from someone else.
"I see," replied Shandra. Then, she hung up the call.
Walter had returned, indeed!
That man just would not give up!
At the same time, Luca received a call from a hospital.
It was not a hospital in the city center but a small hospital in the suburbs.
"Hello, do you know Sarah Poplar?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.
Sarah Poplar?
Luca felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar at first, then she heard the person
say, "We found your business card in her wallet. We want to ask if you're her relative."
It reminded Luca of it when the person mentioned her business card.
It was the business card that Watson had printed for her. She always had the habit of
carrying two of them, but she had never had a chance to hand one out, except to that
woman who was chased by debt collectors.
"Ms. Poplar?" Luca muttered to herself, then asked, "Who are you?"
She was cautious. There were still a lot of scammers in this world.
"Do you know her? That's great. This is Mercy Hospital. She fell sick, and she has been
staying here for some time. Her condition is a bit critical now. She didn't leave any contact
information for us to reach her family. She said she has no relatives here. Do you mind
coming over now? It's urgent," said the woman.
"What kind of illness does she have?" Luca could hear that the person on the other end of
the line had a distinctive A City accent without any trace of a regional accent. In this
regard, it did not seem like a scam.
However, she had to be cautious.
"It's a brain disorder, but I'm not a doctor, and I can't explain it. Miss, don't worry, we're
not scammers. Your phone number is the only contact number she has on her. It's urgent.
Could you please come over?" The woman stressed the critical condition Sarah was in
now.
