Jeffery Harris tried to convince Matthew Nelson, “Would I hurt you?”
“I’ve made my stand clear.”
He squinted and stared at Jeffery. His pupils instantly glowed with a dangerous light.
“I don’t need anyone who touches the person around me in the name of doing me good. Neither can you!”
“Are you really obsessed?” Jeffery clenched his fists, making a crackling sound as he clenched too hard.
Matthew gazed deeply at him, “I’ve always respected you and it’s still the same now. If you let my wife go, I can ignore the past but if you insist, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
Jeffery widened his eyes incredulously with his hands over his heart, “You, you can leave me behind for a woman?”
“She’s my wife.” He said word by word.
“She’s your wife, but she isn’t of one mind with you!” Jeffery yelled, “Wake up, don’t be deluded!”
“I’m incredibly awake to what I’m doing at this moment!” his handsome face was full of rigidity.
He turned around and left.
Jeffery looked at his determined back and he was agitated, “You can’t save her. All the evidence will point to her.”
He paused his movement. Jeffery thought that he was undermined and said, “If you promise to divorce, you won’t lose anything. Chloe wasn’t worse than her and her family background matches you better. I’m doing this for your own good. Even if you hate me, I can’t watch you to get confused by a woman and can’t tell right from wrong!”
He slowly turned back and looked at Jeffery silently without saying anything.
Jeffery froze for a moment, “Matthew …”
He averted his eyes, walked steadily and pulled the door open to get into the car.
Jeffery took two steps backward and slumped in a chair.
His gaze just now was clearly …
He clutched the armrest tightly.
Eddie patted his shoulder, “Are you scared, old chap?”
Jeffery turned his head and looked at him, “I’m afraid that he is getting desperate …”
“Are you afraid that he will have a showdown with you?” Eddie continued to say.
He kept silent as if he was acquiescing.
He was trying to force Matthew to give up Dolores Flores, but he didn’t want to become enemy with him.
This wasn’t his original intention.
Eddie comforted, “If he really cared about the woman, he would definitely compromise.”
He calmed down himself. Indeed, Matthew didn’t develop his strength over these years because Jeffery was the one who owned the power.
Boyce Shawn was able to go smoothly in the business field because of his connections.
Even if Matthew had the means, he wouldn’t be able to save her.
“I’m with you. What are you afraid of?” he was confident.
