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 thiswsuit 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 nced at Ethan.


    Ethan was somewhat known internationally, butpared to Shandra''s fame, he fell a bit short.


    She was a renownedwyer 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 y 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.


    Marcos 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 thiswyer 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 epted 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 localwyer to defend Matysh. Thewyer''s name is Shandra Cullen, a femalewyer.]


    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 representativewyer in handling the divorce with Bianca.


    Walter was Bianca’swyer.


    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, thepany''s legal representative was reced by Mr. Zac.


    Luke replied: [Shandra is Matysh''swyer? Then let''s look for Walter to defend the victim''s family.]


    Then, 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 rtionships.


    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 aw 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 exnation—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 awyer. Ordinarywyers would not stand a chance


    against her.


    Except for Walter...


    Walter was the biggest nemesis in her professional career.
