She didn't recognize Matthew as she was always in the manor plus she had locked herself in her room these past few days. However, Francia knew all about him.
Francia immediately lowered her voice and reprimanded her, "Don't be silly. That man is Matthew Perry, the one that is viral on the Internet. He's already married yet he had an affair with Natalie's sister-in-law."
Francia clicked her tongue in disapproval. "The Whitlock family really have no shame, allowing him to have dinner here," she remarked.
Bowie didn't listen to a word Francia said.
Her entire mind was filled with the image of Matthew.
He was so handsome. Even the way he ate was elegant. It was like the prince charming from her comics had come to life.
Bowie's heart stirred.
Francia noticed the love- stuck look in Bowie's eyes.
She poked Bowie's forehead, hard. "Bowie, did you even hear anything I just said?"
Bowie was still in a daze. "Mum, he is so handsome, I've never seen anyone like him," she gushed.
Francia was exasperated. "Didn't I just tell you, he is Natalie's sister-in-law's man, snap out of it."
Bowie narrowed her eyes.
Natalie's sister-in-law's man?
She immediately puffed out her chest. "She's not woman enough compared to me," Bowie boasted.
Francia agreed with her on this. "Of course, my daughter is the most beautiful woman, no one can compare to you. You deserve to be treasured and pampered."
Bowie's confidence increased.
Natalie's sister-in-law? She could easily outshine her!
Selina and Matthew returned to her bedroom.
"Matthew, why don't we break up?" she forced out the words from her mouth.
There was only one thought in her mind when she said this.
If she broke up with Matthew, then Saoirse would be willing to issue a statement for him. Matthew wouldn't need to suffer any more criticism, both his career and company would also be saved.
She refused to be the cause of Matthew's
demise.
He had originally been the center of praise and admiration, but now because of her, he had become the scum of the society.
Matthew froze for a moment.
He stared into Selina's eyes and asked, "What did you say, Selina?"
Selina felt her throat tighten.
"Matthew, let's break up," she choked out.
Matthew immediately grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "Selina, I don't want to hear this a second time," he warned.
Selina met his gaze. "Matthew, don't lie to me, I know how bad the situation is. If we break up, Saoirse would be willing to help you, you can go back to how it was before, and you won't need to lose your company or career,"
Matthew suddenly laughed.
Selina felt a chill down her spine.
Matthew's eyes were filled with rage. "I'm so disappointed to hear this, Selina. I've done so much for you, yet you still want to leave me. You've really disappointed me."
"I just don't want you to suffer even more," Selina said weakly.
Mattew's gaze pierced through Selina.
