Theo came back half an hour later, looking very anxious and running into the villa. There was a layer o f beaded sweat covering his forehead.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me sitting still on the sofa. He came over to sit down and took m e in his arms. He said in a low voice, "If Cindy comes and looks for you again, don't go out and see her."
As expected, Keith had told him everything.
I recalled the things Matthew just said and asked, "Is Quinn living in Salt City now?"
He froze for a moment and nodded. "After she was imprisoned, Matthew took over Zimmer Corporations a s a matter of course, so it’s no longer possible for her t o take back Zimmer Corporations anymore after she was released. That’s why she came back to Salt City."
Matthew blamed Quinn for his parents' death back then. He planned the incident three years ago to punish Quinn and I knew how he felt, but why would h e use the incident from three years ago to threaten m e? Was it just to make both Theo and I suffer?
I hugged Theo's waist and closed my eyes a little wearily. "How did Matthew become like this?”
He pursed his lips, not saying a word.
Thinking about the grim look on his face earlier, I sighed softly. "He has changed too much, and I find him incredibly strange now. He would never threaten me three years ago. I want to know what happened to him after I left."
Theo let go of me. There was a calm look in his eyes." He came back from overseas and didn't keep his identity a secret. After Quinn was imprisoned, he easily snatched Zimmer Corporations back. He was still very normal at that point.”
"When did he start becoming abnormal then?" I asked worriedly.
"After Jeshua learned about the truth of Nancy's death, the media under Grant Corporation wrote a news report about Nancy’s cheating and published it o n the Internet. Jeshua was already unwell at the time and was not able to last until the new year."
