Although it seemed difficult to win Matysh''s case based on the existing evidence, the difference
between imprisonment of eight to ten years and one or two years was significant.
He was now allied with Marcos and had to provide full assistance. If Matysh were to spend ten years in
A City, Marcos should be able to fully control M Group.
"Jason will hand you the documents," said Luke.
Walter asked, "Are you the intiff in this case?"
"No, but if you''re willing to take it, the other party will be willing to change theirwyer," replied Luke.
The criminal evidence against Matysh was uncovered by his people. The victim''s parent, as well as Mr.
and Mrs. Norman, had all expressed their trust in him to handle the matter.
Especially the victim''s mother, who had suffered the loss of her daughter and husband. She was falsely
used and med for so many years, and her mental state was already deteriorating.
Knowing that someone wanted to expose the truth, she reached out to Luke through the police. Then,
she expressed her desire to restore her daughter''s and husband''s innocence. However, she needed
help because, as a woman, she could not handle such matters on her own.
Luke agreed to help.
He initially intended to let Mr. Zac to handle this matter.
However, now that Walter had returned, he was more suitable to handle the case. Therefore, they
would changewyers, and both parties would not object.
"Fine, I''ll take it. I can give a discount for the fees," Walter agreed. Even though he was doing Luke a
favor, he could not afford to do it for free. That was why he agreed to take the case but still required the
attorney''s fees.
"Do your best to make sure the other party stays in prison for several more years," Luke stated his
demand.
"Is a life sentence enough?" Walter joked.
"It would be great if you can achieve that." Luke knew that even though he did not understand the legal
technicalities, it would be difficult for Matysh to receive a life sentence since he had notmitted
murder.
However, they could use public opinion and the social status of the Norman family to keep Matysh in
prison for a longer time.
"In that case, I''ll wait for the case documents," replied Walter, showing great enthusiasm.
Apart from his connection to Shandra, another reason for his enthusiasm was that he had just returned
to the country and had reached out to his formerw firm, but not many people knew that he had
returned.
He had some free time on his hands.
He knew that he would soon be busy again based on his previously umted reputation and
the case entrusted by Luke this time.
Shandra and Walter''s return to the country could snatch away the job opportunities of severalwyers.
A faint smile appeared on Walter''s face as Shandra crossed his mind.
Even though their rtionship was still the same, Walter and Shandra were the perfect match in the
legal profession.
Shandra had also said that she would not marry someone outside the legal field. They both needed to
bewyers to havemon ground.
Shandra would still return to his side!
After ending the call, Luke sent a message to Jason: [We''re changingwyers. Have Mr. Zac deliver
the current documents to Walter. You''ll also have to deliver your documents to him.]
Jason immediately replied to his message: [Okay.]
Mr. Zac and Walter were familiar with each other. They were ssmates and had the same advisor
during their graduate studies.
Walter was the one who introduced Mr. Zac to Luke, a prominent figure. Of course, Mr. Zac was willing
to entrust the two cases to Walter as a way of repaying the favor from years ago.
After some consideration, Luke called Marcos and said, "When Shandra is litigating, she''s sharp with
her words. She possesses strong logic and a solid understanding of thew. However, she has one
nemesis —Walter. So, I''ve changed the defense attorneys and sought Walter''s assistance."
"Are Walter and Shandra a couple?" Marcos suddenly had this feeling and asked.
"Shandra''s ex-boyfriend is Walter. Don''t worry, they won''t go easy on each other in the courtroom
because of their past. They will onlypete to prove themselves. Shandra''s strength lies in her ability
to truly defend Matysh and reduce the death penalty to life imprisonment or change a ten-year
sentence to five years. We have no choice but to choose Walter." With unwavering trust, Luke believed
that Walter would provide them with a satisfactory oue.
"I trust you," Marcos replied without hesitation. While Luke''s hatred toward Matysh was not as strong
as his own, he also wanted Matysh to face more severe punishment.
"How''s the search going? Any progress?" asked Luke.
He was too busy to inquire about Marcos'' situation, but he knew that Marcos had been seeking
assistance from Gale to conceal and disguise himself, eluding the eyes watching him out there.
"No news yet. I''ve asked the people there, but they im to have never seen my mother," Marcos''
voice sounded slightly depressed.
His initial confidence had been worn down by days of fruitless searching.
He even started to suspect that Luke had held onto the information for too old, and his biological
mother had already left the suburbs of A City.
Perhaps, his biological mother was rmed when Luke''s men were investigating the matter. Could it
be that she thought that someone from Russia was looking for her, so she moved away?
Regardless of the reason, Marcos felt an immense heaviness in his heart because he could not find his
biological mother.
"Don''t worry. We''ll find her," Luke assured him. His men were also looking for her. However, after Ethan
and Marcos'' arrival, there were more men sent to watch them, and they could not be as active as
before.
"I won''t give up." Since he knew his biological mother was alive, he did not n on going back until he
found her.
After all, Matysh''s case would take a long time to resolve. He had an excuse to stay here longer.
On the other hand, Shandra sat in Ethan''s car, looking at the documents about Matysh''s case. Even
though she had already read through them, she furrowed her brows involuntarily while she read the
detailed report.
It was evident that the current investigation results were even more unfavorable.
Ethan felt somewhat guilty because he had withheld some facts in order to persuade Shandra to take
on this case.
Now that Shandra had agreed and signed the retainer agreement, he could tell her everything.
There were indeed formidablewyers in A City, just as skilled as Shandra. However, this particr
case carried significant public attention and was also rted to the Norman family. That was why many
lawyers were unwilling to take it on.

He embellished the details a bit to convince Shandra to take on the case.
Since Shandra had just returned to the country, her understanding of the case was average.
However, as the case went through another round of review, the evidence presented by the victim
became even more irrefutable and infuriating.
