Chapter 296 This Is Mr. Crawford's Idea. If Ms. Rayne Knows...

Shandra was not bragging. Other than losing to Walter several times, she had never lost a lawsuit against another lawyer.

Xavier smiled mockingly when he heard Shandra's answer. "My dear schoolmate, I remember that you're always the top scorer in the law college, and Walter is always second place. I thought that you're more outstanding than him. Why is that not the case now?"

Back when they were in college, Shandra's sharp tongue in law debate competitions was a force to be reckoned with.

Walter was also an outstanding student, but he was always several points below Shandra. Shandra's indifferent expression wavered slightly when she heard Xavier's words, but she soon resumed her composure.

Back in school, Walter had always let her win.

He knew that she hated losing, and she would be depressed for a while if she got second place. At first, she did not know that Walter was letting her win.

When she stepped into society and was faced with difficulties at work, it was only then that she realized that the man had been taking care of her.

However, no matter how caring he might be, that could not cover the fact that he had hurt her greatly.

When she thought of Walter being together with another woman, Shandra's eyes flashed with resentment.

Walter Long shall be Shandra Cullen's sworn enemy for all time. If she had to suffer, she would not let Walter live comfortably either!

Shandra quickly tucked away her personal feelings on the matter and resumed her professionalism. "Things are different in school and society. Everything is theoretical in school, and I only realized that it's different after I started working. Shouldn't you know that very well, my old schoolmate?" Xavier peeled an orange and handed it to Shandra.

Seeing that she did not accept it, he ate a slice. "I don't care what grudges you have against Walter, and I don't care what methods you have to use, I want you to win this case! It's either you defeat Walter in court, or you get Walter to withdraw himself from the case.”

Xavier thought that the second option was not very probable.

After all, Walter was the lawyer on retainer for T Corporation, and he had always listened to whatever Luke said. If Luke wanted Walter to break up Xaiver and Bianca, was there a reason that he should refuse?

Shandra smirked, and her lips curled into an eerie smile. "Don't worry. I'll win the case for you, no matter what it takes. Just wait for me. I'll give you a satisfactory answer.”

Xavier looked at Shandra's confident grin and smiled.

He was eager for the showdown to start.

Mavis was in the Western Europe branch tying up the loose ends of the Regal PR crisis. She took a puff of her cigarette, then opened the link about the "Major Scandal” that the department lead had sent her. i

She read the article carefully.

Then, she listened to the department lead's report about the relationship between Bianca and the CEO. It seemed that they had a misunderstanding between them.

Mavis smiled with satisfaction.

Her little trick was worth it. Any woman would be suspicious of their man if they found women's lingerie in his car.

Moreover, she had answered Bianca's call that was meant for Luke.

Bianca must be very suspicious of Luke's loyalty...

The sensational news that had appeared out of nowhere was a very big help to her ends. Luke might ignore public criticism and insist on being together with Bianca, but his family would not allow that remarried woman to enter their doors.

Mavis felt better after thinking of that.

She decided that she would finish her work there as soon as possible, then return to A City.

She had been waiting for Luke for so many years, and she decided that she would not wait any longer.

Luke was hers, and no one else can take him away from her! 1

When Jason picked up Nina from The Glitz, he was shocked by how little she wore and how haggard she looked.

The last time he had seen her was a few days ago, but the cheerful young woman was a shade of her former self. Her eyes that curved like crescent moons whenever she smiled were hollow and lifeless.

Her neck was filled with black and blue bruises, the signs of abuse.

Jason knew what the bruises meant. He was shocked by the fact that even though his boss had told Percy to get his younger brother to let Nina go, she was nevertheless ravaged.

He sighed deeply when he saw how Nina's body was frail like a puppet without its strings, as though she could collapse into a heap at any time.

Nina was good friends with Bianca. If Bianca knew that her friend had become like that because of her, she would be incredibly guilty.

Jason took off his coat and draped it over the shivering Nina.

"I'll bring you to the mall to buy some clothes, Ms. Langdon. If you go home like that, it's...” "It won't be nice" was what Jason wanted to say, but he did not finish the sentence.

He felt that speaking even an extra word would be of no use.

Nina shook her head gently. "Thank you, Mr. Doyle, but there's no need.

Please send me home."

As the car departed, Nina turned her head and glanced at The Glitz. That was where she had lost herself.

Pierre had toyed with her for one day and one night with all sorts of brutal methods.

She closed her eyes, feeling extreme hatred.

One day, she would take her revenge!

The car stopped in front of Nina's neighborhood.

Nina was just about to open the door when Jason stopped her. "Please wait a moment, Ms. Langdon.” "Is there something else, Mr. Doyle?" Nina asked.

Jason took out a signed check from his coat pocket, hesitated for a moment, and handed the check to her.

Nina glanced at it. On it was the number "2" followed by six zeroes. Two million dollars.

She did not take it but instead asked, "What's the meaning of this, Mr. Doyle?" "This is Mr. Crawford's idea. When he knew that you were in Pierre Mallory's hands, he instantly called Pierre's brother Percy to get him to let you go. He did not expect that Pierre was a scoundrel, and I'm sorry that it took us that long to pick you up... Mr. Crawford knows that you are good friends with Ms. Rayne. If she knows that you have been abused by Pierre because of her, she would bear that guilt for the rest of her life. Mr.

Crawford hopes that you won't mention the incident in front of her, and the two million dollars is compensation for your loss..."

Nina suddenly laughed. She laughed so hard until her tears started flowing.

Jason stared at Nina, wondering how he should comfort her. Suddenly, Nina snatched the check from his hand and, without saying another word, opened the door and stepped out.

The frail figure walked slowly into the neighborhood.
