Chapter 299 Always Wanted to Defeat Me,Coolest Girl in Town
When Elise heard Matthew’s words, she was instantly stunned. Didn’t the police arrest him? “If you still think of me as a friend, then come. I’ll send the address to your phone.” Shortly afterward, Matthew sent his location over. It was a famous Italian restaurant in the south of the city, where reservations were usually required, and the queue may even go up to a few days. Elise hesitated but still went over. To her surprise, Matthew had actually booked the entire restaurant. Why’s he making it such a big deal? “What urgent matter do you need my help with?” Elise was confused.
Although she didn’t know what happened after the police took him away, now that he was being so extravagant, she wondered whether Alexander had decided to let him go. “Can’t we talk while eating? Besides, I think there’s no hatred between us, so why are you so defensive?” A smile played on Matthew’s lips as he teased Elise and poured her a cup of tea. Matthew isn’t such a healthy person! Looking at him, Elise couldn’t help but say, “It’s not that I’m being defensive. We didn’t have the same interests in mind in the first place. Matthew, since Alexander has spared you, you should turn over a new leaf.”
Nevertheless, her advice was immediately rejected by him with a laugh. Matthew looked up at Elise and said with a low voice, “Turn over a new leaf? Elise, you won’t understand the pain if you weren’t hurt. Do you know how I managed to survive for the past few years? Do you know how I escaped after the police arrested me that day?” If it hadn’t been for Matthew’s sudden announcement to establish himself, she wouldn’t have known that he was an illegitimate child. Although she hadn’t experienced Matthew’s life, she could imagine what life was like as an illegitimate child.
She couldn’t persuade him back then, and seeing the hatred in his eyes now, she knew it wouldn’t work now either. “Then, why’d you call me out here today? Do you want me to have dinner with you, or do you want me to pass a message to Alexander?” Elise never picked up the cup of tea Matthew poured for her. Instead, every question she asked had a hidden meaning. “With my current attitude, is there anything else I need to convey to him? Elise, I heard about you and Alexander. His mother doesn’t like you, but I’m different. No one can tell me what to do.” “What are you talking about?”
Elise shot up in anger when she heard this. “Did I say anything wrong? I was the first one to discover your true colors, and didn’t you come here in the first place to pick a husband among the five of us?” “Yes, there’s nothing wrong with what you’re saying, but Matthew, I’m now your brother’s fiancée. I treat you as a friend, and I sincerely hope the best for you, so please stop being so obsessive.” “So what?” Having gotten such a bleak response, Elise suddenly found him incomprehensible. “Isn’t it enough that you killed Grandpa? If it wasn’t because you’re a descendant of the Griffith Family—” “Enough!”
Elise was cut off by Mathew’s furious roar. Elise froze. This was her first time seeing Matthew so angry. “I called you here to ask if you want to be with me or not.” “I don’t!” Elise replied and threw the facts of the matter to his face. “Even if I wasn’t engaged to your brother, I wouldn’t want to be with you!” With that, Elise got up to leave, but Matthew grabbed her. “What, now? You wanna do it the rough way?” Elise let out a mocking laugh. Without waiting for Matthew’s answer or for her to exert strength again, several tall men in black suits emerged and surrounded Matthew. Under their oppression, Matthew had no choice but to let go of Elise. Looking at the men, Elise remembered what Alexander had said.
