Chapter 26
Juliana wanted to take Matthias to a dive star hotel. However, Matthlas kept her pinned on his lap, and she couldn’t find the chance to tell Liam where they were prin
-time Matthias let her go, the car had already arrived at the underground parking garage of Solvane Park
Tulsana was stunned. “You know I love here?”
She had used his card yesterday, and he’d tracked her down today
Looking at the situation now, it seemed like he had thoroughly investigated everything about the past three years in a short amount of time
Mathias was the first to get out of the car
Liam, who had been driving, said, “It’s not hard for Mr. Bennett to find out things. It’s just that you’ve been so good at hiding that we never expected your would go abroad”
She was at a loss for words.
Liam continued, “You even found your family members. Anyway, Mr. Bennett is very angry!”
That last sentence about him being angry made her heart skip a beat. She carefully glanced at the man already standing outside the car, not daring to delay, and hurriedly got out.
rown slippers and a
When they got back to the house, she was about to fetch slippers for him, but as soon as she opened the shoe cabinet, she saw her own pair of men’s slippers that had clearly been wom.
She fell the chill from behind and quickly pulled out a pair of slippers she hadn’t wrom before and offered them to him. “You can wear mine for now. The pink slippers, with a cute little bunny on them, were placed in front of him
He narrowed his eyes, and the coldness around him grow more intense. “Have you learned how to serve others now?
At his words, her face stiffened, and the bitterness in her chest became harder to suppress. She quickly stood up straight and looked at him with an aggrieved expression. “You already know everything, don’t you?”
He scotted and slipped on her slippers. They were small and didn’t fit well.
Matthias, who was always particular about everything, didn’t say much. He walked into the room and glanced around. The more he looked, the darker his expression became.
“The Larson family is well–known in Hashbourne, but you’re living in such a small place?”
It was bad enough when the Larson family was mentioned, but hearing it now, she couldn’t hold back anymore and pouted. “This isn’t from the Larsons.
He paused, then turned to look at her.
She added, “I bought this with your money.”
he was speechles
For some reason, the information that she had purchased the property with his funds seemed to soften the coldness in his expression, if only slightly
He walked over to the couch, casually draped his coat over the armrest, and took off the scarf from around his neck. “Then why didn’t you buy a bigge
She answered, “It’s not small. It’s more than 1,400
200 square feet. It’s enough for just me.”
He considered it cramped. After all, even her modest personal villa back in Fayndale spanned at least 5,300 square feet. And then there was the sprawling Bennett residence, so vast she couldn’t even see it all in a full hour
“Come here.” His gaze sharpened
She obediently stepped forward but stopped when she was about three feet away, not daring to get too close.
Nevertheless, he reached out, and just as in the car, she was drawn immediately into his arms.
“Mart!” she called out unhappily, but Matthias” deep, low voice echoed above her head. “You have live minutes.”
She was stunned. Her heart jumped at the mention of live minutes. She knew exactly what he meant.
Three years ago, she disappeared without a trace, right when the Bennett family was in the middle of chaos
Among the Fayndale nobility, there was a common odage.
“Only blood ties would guarantee true loyalty
This septament was a condemnation, and its origin lay squarely with her.
It was said that she had left the Bennett family when they were in trouble, and Matthias was facing his toughest times.
“What about the Simuth Landly” instead of answering, she asked him a question. For the past three years, she had been keeping an eye on everything in
Fouadalu
it was the Smith family that had me held her fate in their hands, that had gone quiet
For the past year, she hadn’t heard a word about them. There had been no news even when she asked her contacts to dig around. Hence, she asked him directly now, but as soon as the question lett her lips, she saw the coldness in his eyes dorpen.
He squeezed her chm, applying more pressure.
As they drew closer, the warmth of his breath grazed her check, a subtle yet menacing touch.
She swallowed nervously. “Man
He asked, “Are you concerned about the Smiths family or Nigel?”
At the mention of Nigel Smith, her heart trembled violently. I
Seeing her stiffen, his eyes grew even more nathless
The Smith family became part of Fayndale’s history a year ago. Is this answer good enough for you, Jules?”
shr was speechless
History? Ind he destroy them?
Upon hearing this, the tension in her body finally eased. “What about the people from the Smith family?”
“Do you really want to know?” His tone had turned even more dangerous.
She shook her head. “No, as long as they can’t threaten you anymore, that’s fine.”
The heavy burden that she had been carrying for three years finally lifted.
