After a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"One night."
Selina nodded.
After a while, she said, "Matthew, tell me the truth, what actually happened that night?"
Matthew's eyes were dark.
At first, he hadn't known that Selina had misunderstood. He hadn't explained it to her because after all, he had already taught Reid a lesson. More importantly, he didn't want Selina to live in hatred.
Selina had been protected and treated very well all along. He'd wanted her to continue living a simple and happy life.
He had thought that he could continue protecting and solving problems for Selina no matter what.
However, he didn't expect that his staying quiet would cause Selina to misunderstand him and make her live in an even greater hatred.
He opened his thin lips and told Selina everything.
Selina was still very calm, but the breathing on her chest betrayed her emotions. She was actually very emotional.
"Your older brother?" She suddenly opened her mouth.
Matthew nodded bitterly.
"Your biological brother?" There was a hint of irony in Selina's tone.
"That's right."
"Why did he do this? He even used Dylan's mother's phone to send me that message and tricked me into going there. Since he sent me that message, he would have known about the relationship between Dylan and I. Why did he do this?" Selina asked.
Apart from the volume of her voice, her tone didn't sound too emotional, but her breathing was still quite intense.
"Selina." Matthew opened his mouth with some difficulty, "That time when he saw me talking to you, he'd seen my feelings for you."
"He wanted to help you?" Selina's gaze fell upon Matthew's face, rage growing in its depths.
"No." Matthew denied, "I'm not on good terms with him. Same goes for him with Dylan. Perhaps it was just a spur of the moment decision for him, thinking that this would make both Dylan and I unhappy."
At first, Matthew hadn't known that Selina came to the hotel because Reid had used Missha's phone and sent her a message. He thought this matter hadn't involved Dylan.
He thought that it had just been Reid who'd seen through his feelings for Selina, so sending her to his bed.
But now, it seemed that things were not that simple.
Matthew's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Selina said again, "He schemed against us in this way, so don't tell me that you didn't do anything about it."
"I destroyed his company." Matthew said in a low voice.
Selina eyes slightly moved.
She didn't expect that Matthew would go that far.
As someone from a noble background, she knew very well what upper- class people cared most about. Money and power were more important to them than their lives.
It would have been a big blow to Reid that his company was destroyed.
She was about to get out of bed, "I'm going to see him!"
Although Matthew's punishment towards Reid was harsh enough, Selina still couldn't get over it.
She wanted to go and see him herself!
Matthew stopped Selina, "You haven't fully recovered yet. You should wait until you get better."
He was afraid that Selina's blood pressure would increase and that she would faint again after seeing him.
"What right do you have to stop me?" Selina looked at Matthew and said very unhappily.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm still your husband."
Selina's breathing froze for a moment.
Her gaze fell upon Matthew's face. At that moment, his handsome face looked less gentle, but more domineering and strict.
It was very rare to see such an expression on Matthew's face.
When he became less gentle, he was instantly surrounded by a domineering aura, which others would submit to instantly.
This man was indeed her husband.
She sank into deep thought.
