"This accident is just a warning," Matthew frowned as he said, "and I'm afraid they'll do something else after that. If you intervene now, they will be intimidated. That way, I'll never find out who they are.”

Wayne was conflicted after hearing Matthew's words. He didn't want Matthew to be in danger. But when he put himself in Matthew's shoes, he thought the boy had a point. He knew better than anyone the problems Matthew faced as the president of this group.

"Do you have a plan?" He asked.

Matthew nodded. "Don't worry. I'm ready for it.”

"Can |help you in any way?"

"Yes."

Hearing that, Wayne raised his eyes to Matthew.

"want you to go back home and stay out of things here,” Matthew said calmly.

Wayne froze for a second, as he didn't expect Matthew to say anything like that. He even suspected that the two of them had been adversaries in a previous life. Matthew never allowed his father to be involved in anything he did and thought he was a pain in the ass. Wayne thought things would improve once Matthew grew up, but they didn't.

"| didn’t see these people the last time | came, so I'm suspicious about why they gathered there on the day Matthew went there. They're not just trying to blackmail us, I'm afraid.”

Hearing Wayne's analysis, Maria went completely still.

"Are the people around Matthew trustworthy?" Wayne raised his head to look at Maria.

“I'm going to find out who gave out his schedule," Maria clenched her fist.

Wayne nodded. "Great, I'll stay here for a few days and look into the matter. I'll go back to my room now. Call me if you find any clues."

"Okay."

"By the way, did you tell Anna about this?”

Maria replied, shaking her head. "No, | didn't. | told her I called 530 Can We Trust Them?
