He could not hold it in any longer. “Principal Potter, why are you having dinner with this vile woman? Don’t you know... “
Before Matt could finish, Principal Potter scowled at him and interrupted, “Vice-President Zane, what’s the meaning of this? Dr. Berry is an excellent doctor who has treated many severely ill patients. Where are your manners?”
Matt’s EQ had always been very low. That was the reason why he had always had trouble finding himself a girlfriend. Even though he came from a wealthy family and was almost forty, he never got married.
Matt was decent at work, but there was just something he was missing.
It then hit Principal Potter when he noticed Penelope beside Matt.
His heart burned with anger, and he could hardly contain it anymore. The thought of choking Matt to death even crossed Principal Potter’s mind.
How dare he ask me why I’m having dinner with Dr. Berry! She’s the big shot I’ve just managed to invite for a lecture.
How will he ever make it up to her for his offensive actions?
“Don’t be fooled by her beautiful appearance! She bullies her sister, stepmother, and stepbrother at home every day. She even abuses her grandma! There’s no good in her!” exclaimed Matt when he thought Principal Potter was clearly trying to protect Ashlyn. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask my girlfriend. She’s lived under the same roof as Ashlyn for many years.”
Matt then pushed Penelope forward in front of everyone. The woman never thought Matt, the idiot, would do something like that.
Penelope’s face flushed as she was totally caught off-guard. She was trembling when she stood in front of the directors and under Lucas’ cold gaze.
“My father went to prison because of Ashlyn. It was also Ashlyn’s fault that my mother got sick.”
“Was she also the one who forced your father to evade taxes and forced you to date Jerry?” mocked Lucas as his face turned dark and his sullen eyes shot straight at Penelope.
How dare she make up stories to make my girl look bad!
This woman disgusts me!
