Chapter 58
Matthew took his phone out, intending to use his power to continue putting pressure on the Quinn family. His methods may seem old- fashioned, but they were effective and foolproof.
Right as he was about to make a call, his phone rang. It was his personal assistant, Brett Miller. Frowning, he answered the call.
Brett’s raspy voice sounded. “Mr. Leon, I’m outside your house right now. But I’m being harassed by some stubborn lady.”
Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Is it a middle–aged woman?”
Brett said cautiously, “I heard that she’s Mrs. Leon’s mother, so I’m
not sure what to do now.”
Matthew sneered after hearing that. It was Melanie.
His wife’s prediction was right.
He said into the phone with a poker face, “If you can’t handle this on your own, what do I even need you for?”
Matthew’s criticism made Brett panic. The salary for this job was very high, so it was not worth it to anger Matthew and risk losing his job.
He quickly explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to handle it. It’s just that she’s using her status as your mother–in–law to threaten me.”
There was even more panic in his voice now. “I’m not sure what Mrs.
Leon wants.”
Matthew rolled his eyes ungracefully. Fortunately, no one was there to see his face, including the person on the other end of the phone. Otherwise, it would ruin his reputation.
“Tell Mrs. Quinn to get out of here. No, wait a minute…”

Matthew suddenly changed his mind. If he chased Melanie away now, she would cause even more trouble in the future.
“Tell Mrs. Quinn to wait for me at the café that I always go to. I have things to discuss with her.”
Knowing that the situation had been settled, Brett sighed in relief and quickly agreed.
After hanging up, he looked at the aggressive middle–aged woman with disgust. He almost got on his boss‘ bad side because of her.
There were traces of disdain in his voice as he spoke, “Ma’am, let me take you to a nearby café. Mr. Leon wishes to speak with you.”
Brett hid it well, so Melanie did not notice anything off. She lifted her chin arrogantly and said, “That’s right. I’m your CEO’s mother–in–law.
“Mr. Leon would never turn me down. How on earth are you able to work for my son–in–law with that attitude of yours? I’ll have him fire you later.”
There was an awkward yet polite smile on Brett’s face. He recalled Matthew’s instructions over the phone earlier and could not help but gloat.
It seemed like this woman was not the sharpest tool in the shed for not realizing that Matthew already despised her. Brett was looking forward to the drama coming up.
However, he did not display the anticipation on his face. Hel respectfully welcomed her into the car. “Ma’am, let’s go. We don’t want to keep Mr. Leon waiting.”
