Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 772

Seeing Jayden's fearful reaction, Matthew knew the man was genuinely scared—no one lies in the face of a gun. Besides, there was no deep personal enmity between them; it was merely a matter of mutual use. To achieve his goals, Matthew had no intention of harming Jayden.

Jayden, now alone in the room after Matthew left, realized how eerily quiet it was. He approached the window and pulled aside the curtain, only to find a solid wall outside. Stunned, he wondered what was going on. He looked around the room, discovering that apart from the door, there were no other sources of light. Doubtful, he opened the door only to find two armed bodyguards stationed outside.

Seeing him come out, one of the bodyguards shouted, "Get back inside!"

Jayden, now frightened, quickly retreated into the room. As the entire day passed without anyone speaking to him, he grew increasingly anxious. He wondered what was going to happen next. Having already agreed to cooperate with Matthew, he couldn't understand why he was still being confined. His territory and people were being neglected, and it didn't make sense for so many of them to be left idle.

Matthew wasn't in a rush. He planned to let Jayden stew for a while, knowing that his desperation would eventually lead him to cooperate fully. Someone like Jayden, hardened by dangerous experiences, would only submit under pressure. Matthew's goal was to demonstrate that Jayden had no choice but to align with him.

Two days later, Jayden couldn't take it anymore. He started shouting and demanding to see Matthew. "Get him here! I have something to say! Matthew Grant!"

When Matthew arrived and saw Jayden in such a state, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter? I hear you wanted to see me?"

Jayden immediately lunged forward, pleading, "Matthew Grant, I've done everything you asked me to! You should let me go now! Besides, it's already like this—there's no need to make it any worse, right? Just let me go, and I'll do whatever you want! Just don't make me stay here any longer, please!" He was utterly fed up and couldn't stand being there any longer.

Matthew looked at him and couldn't help but smile. "Alright then!"

Jayden was stunned, not expecting Matthew to agree so quickly. "However, you need to cooperate with me on one thing," Matthew said, and Jayden immediately agreed, "Sure, just tell me what you need. I'll do everything I can to make it happen!" He had no other option—getting out was his priority, and once free, he'd have plenty of room to maneuver.

Matthew chuckled. "It's quite simple. As long as you cooperate and play along, we can work together. Now, just continue with the act as planned."

Jayden was taken aback, thinking, 'Play along?'

Matthew nodded. "Yes, play along. Search for my whereabouts, and when the time is right, you'll see a good show."

Seeing Matthew's confident demeanor, Jayden couldn't help but feel puzzled. He was unsure of Matthew's true intentions. However, since this was a conflict between Matthew and Owen, and he had no choice but to be involved, he sighed and resigned himself to the situation. "Alright, alright, I'll go along with it. But how am I supposed to explain this to him?"

"Just say you've found me. I'll take care of the rest. You just need to make sure you play your part convincingly," Matthew said.

Seeing this, Jayden didn't argue further. He nodded, assuming that Matthew had a solid plan in mind. He figured he should just follow instructions and do his part. Whether Owen believed him or not was not his concern.
