Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 134

He only cared about Willow.

"In your dreams," Yvette enunciated every word, her cold, clear eyes meeting his deep, pool-like gaze head-on.

"Let it go, Jabez. It was my own clumsiness. Please don't make things hard for Yvette."

Willow tugged at his sleeve.

"Heh." Yvette couldn't help but let out a bitter, mocking laugh.

Matthew pushed the door open and walked in, immediately noticing the two clearly divided factions.

Sensing the thick tension, he crossed the room in three quick strides and positioned himself in front of Yvette.

Shielding her behind him, he asked, "Would you care to explain what's going on here, Mr. Shelby?"

Looking at Matthew's broad back, Yvette felt her nose prickle.

For Jabez, pulling the security footage would only take a single sentence. But instead, he listened strictly to Willow's one-sided story and convicted her on the spot.

He even tried to force her to apologize to the woman. This was the man she had loved for over ten years.

She looked past Matthew to Jabez. He was still as flawlessly handsome as ever, but he was no longer the boy she used to know.

The gaze she directed at him held zero warmth.

When Willow saw Matthew step in to protect Yvette, her heart sank.

She hadn't expected him to return so quickly, and even if he did, she certainly hadn't expected him to openly confront Jabez for Yvette's sake.

He was willing to offend the CEO of the Shelby Group for her.

She hadn't realized Yvette meant that much to him.

"It was just a minor misunderstanding, Mr. Sutton. Everything is cleared up now," Willow said smoothly.

"Is that so?" Matthew spoke to Willow, but his icy glare was fixed squarely on Jabez.

The air around Jabez was so thick with tension it felt like the oxygen was being sucked from the room.

The temperature in the private room dropped below freezing.

No one dared to breathe too loudly. Those who had been pointing fingers at Yvette just moments ago suddenly found the floor absolutely fascinating.
