Boyce and Maria looked at the door at the same time.
Matthew stood in the doorway. The light from above shrouded him, covering most of his expressions. His slender fingers were busy unbuttoning his cuffs and then he slowly rolled his sleeves up to reveal his sturdy forearms.
His expressions were too calm but Maria’s heart felt cold. She knew very well what Matthew was going to do.
Her heart trembled horribly, “If you kill me, you will never be able to find out about her whereabouts.”
Matthew curled his lips, “Boyce, get out!”
Boyce didn’t dare to move, if he killed her impulsively then this matter would become troublesome.
“Um…”
“Get out!”
“I want to see my lawyer!” Maria panicked.
She wanted to escape but her hands were handcuffed to the chair and she was unable to move.
“You have no evidence that I kidnapped Dolores. If you hit me it will be an offence!” Maria yelled in panic, “Boyce, hurry up and make him leave!”
Boyce spread both his hands, “I’m sorry, this is out of my hand.”
Saying that he turned to walk out of the interrogation room. It was very clear to him that she was not going to open her mouth unless they used some skills.
Boyce walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
“Matthew, don’t be impulsive!” Maria said anxiously.
She was afraid that he was really going to kill her.
Matthew stood condescendingly in front of her. He reached out to lift her chin and looked into her eyes carefully. His eyes grew colder, “You said it was you that night.”
Maria was very flustered, “What… What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
It was impossible for him to know the truth about that night. Everyone who knew was dead and the one who wasn’t dead would keep her secret.
He couldn’t know, he was never going to know!
“Don’t understand?” Matthew sneered, “Then let me tell you, I have never touched you.”
Seeing that she had saved him, he had believed her words at that time and had not investigated what happened that night.
But it was because of this that he had missed Dolores.
Just this one mistake took away six years.
Matthew’s finger’s strength was amazing. Maria couldn’t move, her whole body trembled in pain.
He looked at her viciously, his fingertips tightened on her chin.
Maria sobbingly yelled his name with all her might but was only able to get a word out before he moved a finger closing her mouth shut.
“Why are you feigning?”
Maria’s eyes widened. He knew?
How did he find out?
How could he know?
Tears began to fall from her eyes and she laughed wildly, “Since you know now, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Yes, it wasn’t me that night, it was a woman I found.”
She looked at Matthew resentfully, “I met you first, and saved you when we were kids. Later you kept me by your side but you never gave me an official status. I am also a woman and I need someone to love me and care for me. But you, you never did.”
“Later, when you were poisoned, I knew that it was my chance but at that time I had already lost my virginity. So, I paid to find a local woman who was a virgin and had her sent to that room. Then I waited for her to come out and I went in again and made it look like it was me the whole time. I deliberately made you think that you took my virginity and made you take responsibility.”
She smiled, “I turned out to be right. You felt guilty and responsible for me. You were very good towards me and even promised to marry me.”
Her expressions dimmed, “I prepared and calculated but I couldn’t calculate enough, that woman was not a local of Country A, but was Chinese local. What caught me by surprise was that she was the same woman who had a marriage contract with you. I panicked; I was afraid that you will discover her identity so I deliberately lied that I was pregnant. Later, I created the illusion of a car accident and said that I miscarried. My ultimate goal was to get you to divorce her.”
She looked at him and smiled obsessively, “Do you know? In order to make her disappear from your world, I also planned a car accident for her. I wanted her to taste the pain that I have suffered. I thought she would die in the car accident but it was her fate to escape. But of course, …”
She smiled as of thirsty for her blood, “This time, she will not be so lucky.”
