“I trusted you too much in the past. That’s why I nearly made a grave mistake!”
Liam’s cane knocked against the floor harshly.
Liam had always been under the impression that even if Matthew was limited in abilities and was not that smart, sometimes a little problematic in character, it was all fine—as long as he did not do anything out of line.
Moreover, Matthew was the only one out of his children who was good with words and often made him happy. That was why he turned a blind eye to what Matthew did.
Even when Zephyr repeatedly told him that there were issues with Matthew, he felt that his grandson was insensible and advised the young man that his uncle was family. He should try getting along with him.
He regretted it so much now!
He glared at Matthew and Yale. “This isn’t your first time doing dirty deeds like this! I haven’t even settled the score about William Jenner sneaking into Zephyr’s home to steal Mr. Irwin’s medicinal formulas!”
“Dad, listen to me!” Matthew was close to getting on his knees as he rambled, “Yale just lost his head for a moment. He’s being used! And… And the plane crash five years ago, I-I didn’t do anything! It’s got nothing to do with me!”
Cordelia smiled and retrieved the recording pen from her pocket.
Soon, what Yale said was replayed without a word missed.
Matthew was appalled. He glared at Yale, gritting his teeth, and gave him a slap.
“Do you f*cking want to die!? What nonsense are you talking about!?”
“Calm down, Uncle Matthew.” Cordelia smiled and said, “Yale’s just telling the truth.”
“You…”
“My dad can be the witness to you trying to kill Zephyr back then!”
“Hah!” Matthew remained stubborn. “Rowan Irwin and you are family! Can his words be trusted? He’d listen to whatever you say!”
