Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle
Chapter 2822 Matysh Was Supposed To Trust Him

"Was this specially prepared for me?” Matysh blurted out his thoughts, forgetting that he was in a detention center in A City.

Shandra spoke Russian, so her face immediately turned sullen when she understood what he said. Matysh’s leering gaze was unyielding as if he were looking at prey. He thought that Ethan had sent him a plaything to make his time in the detention center a little less miserable.

“Mr. Matysh, this is A City’s detention center,” Shandra reminded. The discipline in A City’s detention center was strict, unlike abroad, where they could act one way in the open and another way in secret.

In some countries, some rich criminals could even live a good life in prison.

However, it was different for A City. No matter how rich one was, as long as they had violated the law, they would be treated the same as any other criminal.

Matysh raised his eyebrows, “Aren't you a feisty one? Hmm, fine by me. Let her in.”

That last sentence was addressed to Ethan.

Ethan broke out in a sweat. “Mr. Matysh, she’s the defense lawyer I found you. Ms. Cullen isn't who you think she is.”

"How could you get a chick to defend me? Can she even do the job?" Not only was Matysh heavily racist, but he was sexist too.

Shandra grimaced as she took out the contract she signed with Ethan. “Mr. Matysh, since you've decided that women aren't able to defend you, please sign this to terminate the contract.”

She did not think that Matysh was right. This criminal defense case was her first case back in A City. Shandra knew that if she accepted this case, she would instantly rise back to fame and regain the popularity she previously had in A City.

However, she had been away for too long...

It did not matter how good she was before because after she left, no one remembered her.

There were a lot of lawyers in A City, so anyone could take her place. After she left, she was instantly replaced.

In the first two years of leaving, she would still get calls from people asking her to help with lawsuits, but eventually, she got none.

If it were not assigned to her by legal aid, her past self would have refused such a vile and outrageous case.

Matysh squinted his eyes after seeing how headstrong she was.

Those exotic eyes were full of malicious intent.

Matysh was reminded of the unattainable Luca, who was the reason he was in this situation

He had to get out of here to teach those people a lesson.

Ethan hurriedly came over to mediate between them. “Ms. Cullen, don't get him wrong. Mr. Matysh didn't mean that, nor does he mean to terminate the contract.”

After speaking to Shandra, he turned to Matysh and said, “Mr. Matysh, Ms. Cullen is an internationally renowned lawyer. Once I found out that she had returned to A City, I immediately asked her to be your defense attorney. Ms. Cullen has a lot of experience with cases like yours, so you must trust our decision.”

By “our’ he meant to exclude Marcos.

Matysh narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shandra. She was well-dressed, but because of his prejudice toward women, he thought that she was faking it.

However, Ethan chose her, so perhaps he should trust him. “Fine, I trust your decision, but can you please spend some money to make some arrangements for me? There aren't any women or alcohol in here. It's killing me!”

Shandra snorted and cursed inwardly before saying, “The detention centers in A City are different from those in Russia. Money can't get you the things you want here.”

Not only was it impossible with money but personal connections too.

Even power was useless!

A City's justice system had always been impartial.

Matysh was growing impatient, so he yelled at Ethan, “Tsk, how annoying. You! You either make the arrangements soon or get me out of here now. Otherwise, I'll suffocate to death in here!”

“Yes, Mr. Matysh. Please bear with me.” There was not much Ethan could do too as this was not Russia, so they could not just do whatever they wanted!

He could only appease Matysh. “Just be a little more patient. Other than introducing Ms. Cullen to you, I brought her here today so she could ask you some questions too.”

"Why am I being questioned again? Why are all of you lawyers so annoying?” Matysh yelled impatiently. With the beautiful Shandra in front of him, all he could do was sit idly.

An urge he had been suppressing all this while was sneaking up on him, about to explode anytime now.

Shandra ignored his yelling and opened up her laptop.

The light from the computer screen shone on her face, which made Matysh’s heart itch when he saw it.

Why did she not come alone?

However, that b*tch would not wipe that look off her face. Plus, there was surveillance here, so he would not be able to do anything even if she came alone.

Thus, Matysh gave up that notion and decided that he had to get out of there instead.

“Mr. Matysh, I've read the documents from the police and the records you told Mr. Ethan about, but I still have a few questions to ask you. It won't take long.” Shandra’s tone was cold. Unlike Ethan, she did not have to bow and scrape before him.

If he was unwilling to cooperate, she had an excuse to leave any time.

That was the law in A City. It protected defense attorneys like them.

“I've said everything I had to say.” Matysh folded his arms together with a haughty look on his face. “I suspect that you lied to Mr. Ethan. If you lie in A City, I have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract we signed,” said Shandra.

Ethan had Matysh sign the contract before handing it to her.

If Matysh lied to her and concealed important facts regarding the case, she had every right to dismiss him.

Matysh's eyes widened as his veins appeared in his bulging temples. "How dare you threaten me?" “This is A City, and I'm from here, so what is there to be afraid of?” Shandra’s gaze was equally as piercing with a calm expression.

Matysh may be a scary name in Russia, but in A City, he was nothing.

Shandra had come in contact with all kinds of people before, even mob bosses who dominated several states.

If she was afraid of a man like him, her name would be unheard of in the legal world.

Matysh snorted without a word, but Shandra knew that he had given in.

He was afraid of being imprisoned.

Shandra started interrogating, and an hour later, Ethan's head was in his hands as Matysh had lied to him, just as Shandra predicted.

Shandra saved a voice recording before shutting her computer and keeping it in the leather briefcase. Then, she stood up and looked down at Matysh’s humiliated face. “Sometimes, lying won't protect you, especially when lying to your defense attorney.”

After that, she glanced at Ethan. How useless could he be to not notice such an obvious flaw in his story?

Ethan looked at her and sighed. He did not think there would be any flaws in the story because Matysh was supposed to trust him.
