“Michael,” Matthew called Michael coldly!
Matthew then continued, 1 admire how much you love Miss White.“8
“But I hope you’re ready to pay the price for that love. I won’t indulge you the way Grandpa does “%
With that, Matthew started the car and drove us away.
Through the rearview mirror, I watched Michael chase after the car, running with everything he had. Until, finally, he collapsed on the road. He looked very helpless and defeated, which was unlike him.
Meanwhile, Matthew glanced at me.
His tone was dry, but I could hear the hint of jealousy beneath it as he asked me,
I shook my head, eyes stinging as I looked down at the bruises on my body!!
“If only you had come back sooner.“”
“If only I had known you liked me back then
“What’s wrong? Are you heartbroken?!
I might not waste all those years in a cold, loveless marriage. I wouldn’t be as badly broken as I was now. When Matthew heard it, his jaw tightened.
It took him a moment before he spoke again in a gentle tone, “Believe me, Evelyn. I’ll make up for everything you went through.” I’ll protect you.”
Matthew then took me to the hospital once more for a full–body examination. When the results came back, he sat in silence for a long time. His eyes quietly reddened. Without saying a word, he ordered a customized care plan from the top doctors in the UK. After that, he took notes on every single instruction.&
I had never seen anyone be this attentive. Not even Michael was this gentle with Regina. Two days later, after some rest and healing. Matthew brought me back to the Pumall Family’s mansion. But this time, I returned with a new role
This time, I was no longer the ignored, overworked wife who couldn’t even sit at the family table. I walked in hand–in–hand with Matthew and we took our seats at the head of the table
Matthew’s voice was calm but unwavering as he spoke, “I didn’t just return to take over the Purell Family. I came back for Evelyn.“!!
“I married her, not just because of the old engagement. But because I’ve loved her since we were children.”
“Whether you approve or not, I’ve already made my decision.”
Michael didn’t dare say a word. But the steak on his plate was mashed beyond recognition by his grip. As for the old Mr. Purnell, he coughed loudly.E
His voice was heavy with disapproval as he said, “Matthew, this isn’t right.”
“Evelyn is your sister–in–law. She’s the woman Michael truly loves. How could you ignore your brother’s feelings like this?”
“And Evelyn … a woman who cheated on her husband and seduced her brother–in–law? She’s not fit to be the lady of this house.“} Matthew set his utensils down with a loud clack
His gaze swept across the table and finally settled on Michael B
“Coming from the Pumell Family, those words are laughable.”
“Let me tell you how Evelyn and I ended up reconnecting.”
He looked each person in the eye as he spoke.
“When Michael abandoned Evelyn in a foreign country, she was left completely alone by him”
“Not only that, Evelyn was also targeted by a gang. They trapped her in an alley and tried to knock her out.”
“I just happened to pass by and I saved her.”
1 brought her home, stayed by her side and when she finally calmed down, I asked my assistant to contact Michael.”
Matthew then paused. The memory was clearly bitter. Still, he didn’t stop.
“And what did Michael say?”
Matthew tumed his eyes toward his younger brother.
“I remembered him saying this exact line of ‘I wouldn’t even want a woman like Evelyn for free. Who would go after someone like her?” *Michael then added, “If something like this happens again, tell her to stop acting up. I’m busy don’t bother me with this nonsense.” Everyone want silent. Even the clinking of utensils stopped.
Matthew’s voice grew darker as he spoke, “Regina’s laughter was fact they were actually partying.”
echoing in the background while he said it. There was loud music. In
“My assistant looked devastated. And Evelyn. Evelyn sat there trying to hold herself together.” “But me?”
“1 spt beside her… and I wanted nothing more than to destroy everyone and everything that had ever hurt her.”
