Chapter 573 Matt Never Did It
Alexander nodded. Then, he turned to look outside the door. “Bring her in.”
As soon as he said that, Cameron marched a handcuffed Heather into the room.
Seeing Elise standing alive beside Alexander, Heather was visibly surprised. Soon after that, though, she realized what had happened. “As expected, you faked your death to fool us,” she said disdainfully. “Unfortunately, you guys only got me. Matt won’t be fooled again!”
Looking at Cameron, Alexander ordered expressionlessly, “You get out first.”
“Yes, Young Master Alexander,” Cameron replied respectfully. Then, he stepped out of the room, closed the door, and stood watch outside.
As soon as the door closed, Alexander’s expression turned serious. “Matthew’s now alone out there, so it’ll be inconvenient for him to do anything. And besides, it’s useless for me to catch you. Make a deal with me, and I’ll let you off.”
Upon hearing this, Elise was even more confused. It doesn’t make sense to release someone after doing everything possible to catch her, right? However, it was obvious that Alexander had a plan in mind, so she didn’t interrupt him.
“Ha!” Heather sneered. “Since I dare to come here, I’m not afraid of death. Do you think I’ll be afraid whether or not you’re gonna let me off?”
“I know you’re not afraid of death, of course.” Alexander wasn’t surprised at all. After walking up to Heather, he stared down at her with his black eyes. “But what if it’s Matthew?”
And sure enough, Alexander was spot on about Heather’s Achilles’ heel. “What are you trying to say?”
Alexander said frostily, “You know better than me how difficult it is for Matthew to move around in the city without your help. Now, I can spend a lot of money for both the police and the underworld to search every inch of the city, and it won’t take long before he gets decapitated. Do you want me to do that?”
“You won’t.” Heather’s eyes narrowed slightly. “If you’re really willing to pay such a huge price and want to do so, you wouldn’t have told me about it.”
“You’re quite smart.” Alexander smiled meaningfully. “Unfortunately, you don’t know that Elise and I have gotten married. Now that she’s become my wife, do you think I’m gonna let a person who defiled her stay alive in this world?”
“You married her?!” Heather looked at Alexander in disbelief. “Don’t you mind it at all?”
“Of course I don’t.” Alexander raised an eyebrow in ridicule, but his face was frosty. “Who cares about a person who’s going to die?”
“But you said just now that you’d let me off!” Heather argued emotionally.
“Yeah, I did,” Alexander said nonchalantly. “I did say that I’d let you off, but I didn’t say that I’d let Matthew off. Well, it’s mainly because I want to save some money. As long as you lead my people to him, I’ll spare your life and give you a sum of money that you won’t be able to finish spending in your lifetime. Isn’t such a bargain worth making?”
“You’re delusional!” Heather snarled. “I’d never betray Matt even if I die!” As she spoke, she spat in Alexander’s face. “I thought you were so upright and honorable, but you ended up resorting to such an underhanded trick, eh? You’ve underestimated my love for Matt!”
