Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 293

To protect their family's reputation, the Shaws never made any of this public.

Gina used it against Matthew all the time. She always tried to control him and make him follow her decisions.

Matthew was a proud man. Most of the time, he didn't argue with her on the surface, but deep down, he had been holding in his anger for years.

He thought this charity auction was about selling his personal collection, so there was no need for Gina to be involved.

But somehow, she found out and showed up anyway. She even brought the kids with her.

What she did just now, embarrassing him in front of everyone, was clearly meant to put him in his place.

Matthew said impatiently, "Alright, how many times are you going to say this? I'm sick of hearing it. I won't forget what your family did for mine. I've listened to you all these years. Can't I have a little privacy and freedom?"

Gina let out a cold laugh. "You think you don't already have enough privacy and freedom? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back all these years."

Matthew sighed. "You embarrassed me on purpose in front of everyone, and now you're still talking like this?"

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

At an event like this, he wanted to keep his dignity. He didn't want to make a bigger scene.

But Gina kept following him, refusing to let it go.

Not far away, Rebecca stood there and heard everything.

So, Matthew might look powerful and successful on the outside, but at home, he had no real authority.

A playful smile curved Rebecca's lips. Things were getting more and more interesting.

She stood there quietly, watching Matthew and Gina until Gina finally stormed off.

Holding a glass of red wine, Rebecca walked over to Matthew.

Matthew was talking with a group of guests about business investments.

When Rebecca appeared, Matthew's eyes lit up, but he didn't recognize her.

She was wearing a mask today, and her deep V-neck dress caught the attention of every man in the room.

Matthew greeted her, "Miss, are you here for my charity auction too? I don't think I've seen you before. What's your name?"

Rebecca said, "I've heard Mr. Shaw is a powerful figure in the business world. It's an honor to attend your charity auction."
