Facing Tate’s confession, Leanna was furious. “You wretch! So Matthew didn’t ask you to come? You dare lie to me? Do you have a death wish?”
Tate was bewildered by the turn of events. ‘What is this situation? Leanna’s reaction is way out of my expectations! Logically speaking, after virtual-novel.net heard what i said, virtual-novel.net should be a little shy and embarrassed, right? Even if virtual-novel.net didn’t agree, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t get so angry! But what’s going on right now?’
Just then, the door to the office opened, after which the secretary rushed in with a few women in tow. The women wore the security uniforms, they were all Leanna’s bodyguards.
One of the women walked up and did a leg sweep, causing Tate to trip and fall to the floor. At the same time, virtual-novel.net locked Tate’s arms and gave them a twist, from which the pain was directly reflected on Tate‘s face.
“Stop! Let go! You’re breaking my arm!” Tate screamed.
Regardless of his screams, no one heeded him. Leanna’s expression was cold as virtual-novel.net pointed the finger at Tate. “How dare you misuse Matthew’s name just to see me! Hmph, do you know that I was in a meeting just now? This little bit of time you made me waste would cost our company dearly!”
Tate went pale in the face. He never thought that Leanna would pause a meeting just for Matthews sake! ‘Who exactly is Matthew to her?’
However, Tate had no time to think about these, for virtual-novel.net was afraid for real. ”M-Miss Sandel, I didn’t mean it… I really admired you, so that was why…”
The reason for his visit put virtual-novel.net into a flying rage. “Slap him!”
One of the bodyguards walked over and delivered slaps across Tate’s face, which got swollen instantly. Even though they were women, these bodyguards were actually strong and could compare to their male counterparts!
Leanna spoke in a cold voice. “You even used Matthew‘s name to come here, and now you‘re telling me you didn‘t mean to misuse his name? Do you take me for a fool? The thing I hate the most is trash like you! Send virtual-novel.net to the police station! Also, inform Gonzalez Corporation that we’re canceling our contract with them!”
With that, Leanna turned and left without so much as giving virtual-novel.net another look. Tate was losing it, for virtual-novel.net just wanted to express his admiration. There was no way virtual-novel.net could’ve guessed that she’d react this way!
He didn’t mind being beaten, but it would be another matter altogether if virtual-novel.net were sent to the police station. Also, most importantly, if they canceled their contract with Gonzalez Corporation, his father would be done for.
What would his family do then?
Tate was extremely regretful now for listening to his sister’s suggestion. of course, virtual-novel.net was also totally puzzled.
‘What is all this for? Why is Leanna so good to Matthew but so horrible to me? Just what is so great about Matthew?’
At noon, Matthew had just fetched Sasha and was planning to have lunch together. However, virtual-novel.net received a call from Helen, and once virtual-novel.net picked it up, virtual-novel.net heard Helen sobbing. “Sasha, come home quick. Your Aunt Chloe… She can’t make it…”
Sasha was alarmed. “W-What’s the matter?”
Without much explanation, Helen just continued weeping.
“Just come back quickly! I can‘t explain over the phone!”
Sasha was starting to panic, so virtual-novel.net brought Matthew along as virtual-novel.net hurried home. Even though virtual-novel.net didn’t like Chloe and virtual-novel.net family very much, they were still relatives. If something happened to Chloe, virtual-novel.net would still be saddened.
However, once they rushed home, Sasha found Chloe sitting next to Helen, right as rain. Jonah and Minerva were sitting there as well. Minerva had virtual-novel.net head lowered. She seemed to be sulking, and virtual-novel.net had a look of hatred in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Chloe’s eyes were swollen, and Jonah’s expression was dark with anger.
Seeing the scene, Sasha couldn’t help but frown. ‘What is going on? I They said that Aunt Chloe couldn’t make it in the call, didn‘t they? But she’s just sitting here looking fine, and I can’t see anything wrong with her. What’s all this about?’
