Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.
“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.
With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.
“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.
“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.
“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.
With a cold huff, Heather replied, “Just spit it out.” She wrapped her arms around her chest, tired of being pestered by Matthias.
Matthias looked around him, feeling that this was not a good place to talk. Hence, he said to Heather, “Come out with me for a moment as it is not convenient to talk here.”
Staring at him with exasperation, Heather noticed that the sky was already dark. If she went out with Matthias, the talk would certainly last over half an hour. She was already tired from working all day, so what she most wanted to do now was to lie on her soft bed at home. Therefore, she had no desire to listen to Matthias’ nonsense at all.
Actually, she could understand his mood. After all, Myra was getting married, which was indeed a huge blow to him. But Heather didn’t expect him to become so irrational and do dumb things.
“What can’t you say here?” She looked at him inexplicably, thinking that he really knew how to make a fuss.
“Come with me.” He directly grabbed her and held her in a death grip, making it impossible for her to break free.
The now-impatient Matthias began to drag Heather away, no longer wanting to hear any more refusal from her. Suppressing the pain on her hand, Heather frowned and stared very unhappily at him.
“Let go, Matthias. Don’t anger me,” she said grimly; she currently had the urge to tear him to pieces.
Matthias didn’t care or bother about her feelings at all as his hand tightly gripped her wrist. His temper was flaring at this moment, and in order to prevent her from breaking free, he used 80% of his full force. If it were some other women, their wrists would probably have snapped.
Heather, who had never been treated so rudely by anyone before, gradually stopped talking. Her silence made her look all the more frightening as she was completely furious with Matthias now. All the way to the underground garage, she glared at him with the same look.
Under her terrifying glare, Matthias pulled open the car door and threw her into the car, then he quickly got into the car too.
Now that Heather’s wrist was finally free, she wrinkled her nose and suppressed the pain. After all, she did not want to show weakness in front of him.
Then, the car started up. As Matthias looked ahead with a cold face, Heather’s own expression was dark. It was as if the two had made an agreement to go to a certain location to fight. No one spoke again on the way, as if they were enemies, and the silence threatened to swallow them up.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a high-end club, whereupon Heather reluctantly got out of the car. We came out to talk about things; why did we have to come to a club?
Later, Heather looked at the sign of the club with a contemptuous smile, while Matthias extended a hand, signaling for her to go in first. Without looking at him, Heather walked straight in, followed by the man.
When they walked into the club, the receptionist recognized Matthias at once and said respectfully to him, “Welcome, Director Locke.” It was very official.
Heather swept a glance past that beautiful receptionist; the woman looked lovely as an eye candy, and even the smile at the corner of her mouth was very stereotypical of one.
Heather did not have a good impression of the club because it was just a place to please men. As she did not expect Matthias to bring her here, she looked at him in disdain.
As for the girls here, she did not really judge them, because there was a job for every kind of person. If they worked here, it was just for the money, so it was fine if the girls still had some self-respect.
Heather, who had feminist tendencies, looked down on those women who did not have self-respect. In fact, she had seen many of them around Blake who ended up being played for fools by him. There were even some who ended up with a lifelong inability to have children.
After thinking about all this, she stared straight ahead with a stony look.
Then, Matthias said directly to the receptionist, “I want the supreme suite on the third floor.”
If Heather had known they would come here, she would never have agreed to come, let alone follow Matthias into a private room. The receptionist immediately made the arrangement for Matthias, and when she raised her head, she deliberately swept a glance past Heather.
Just a while ago, Matthias and Heather’s matter caused an uproar in the city, and the receptionist saw the news. At first, she only thought it was a rumor; she didn’t expect to see them appear together.
As the receptionist had good observation skills, she immediately noticed the awkward tension between the two. Looks like the couple is having an argument.
Withdrawing her gaze, she knew this was not the time to gossip, and she was still all smiles.
When they were about to go upstairs, Matthias wanted to grab Heather’s hand again, but the woman deftly dodged his action. Looking at him coldly, she was almost completely livid with him by now.
Next, the two came to the supreme suite. All clubs were almost the same, so Heather was uninterested in her surroundings.
Actually, Matthias had deliberately asked for the supreme suite because this room was much more tastefully decorated and looked more decent than other rooms, which were filled with so much sexual innuendos that even Matthias could not bear seeing them.
After finding a comfortable place to sit down, Heather said without raising her eyes, “Matthias, can you spit it out now? Half an hour has passed by now.”
There was a strong sense of sarcasm in her voice. Before this, Matthias had sworn he only needed half an hour, and now, it had gone past that time.
“I have no way of accepting Myra marrying Tony. I will definitely destroy the wedding.” Matthias spoke openly, his eyes revealing his seriousness.
Hearing that, Heather raised her head in disbelief. On the way here, she was wondering who was going to destroy Myra and Tony’s wedding. Besides, she couldn’t figure out where Matthias heard the news from that had made him so confident about it.
Knowing the reason now, Heather laughed out loud. So, it’s him who wishes to sabotage the wedding. Looking at his nervous look, she inexplicably had the urge to split his head apart.
“Matthias, I don’t know if you simply think highly of yourself or you’ve underestimated Tony. Do you think that, with your skills, you can take over Bradfort City and even ruin Tony’s wedding?” Heather said disdainfully, thinking that Matthias was overconfident.
“Believe me—I have the ability. I don’t want to do something wrong and harm Myra, so you must stop me.” Matthias lowered his head dejectedly. All along, he had been standing; with his head down, Heather could not even see his expression and did not know what he was thinking.
Nevertheless, Heather still smiled. She couldn’t agree with Matthias’ thoughts, so she shook her head. “Of course. I won’t allow anyone to ruin my good friend’s wedding.” Suddenly, she added, “However, if even Tony has no way to stop you, do you think I will have a way?” Heather assumed at this moment that Matthias really had the ability to ruin Tony’s wedding.
Matthias clenched his lower lip and jerked his head up, like a child who had made a mistake. He looked like he was being made to stand behind the class as a punishment, looking rather pitiful.
“Only you can stop me, and I’m sure you don’t want to see anything happen to Myra’s wedding.” Matthias continued to talk about Myra.
Heather was now wondering if Matthias was delusional; she didn’t know how to continue this conversation as even his words sounded weird.
“Me? I don’t think I have that ability.” Heather insisted, still thinking that Matthias had a mental problem.
“Will you accompany me to another place?” Matthias suddenly asked.
The corners of Heather’s mouth twitched at that. Does this guy have a comprehension problem?
When Matthias saw this reaction from Heather, he said again in painful detail, “I want to avoid Myra’s wedding even though I also want to see her get married. I’m afraid I will not be able to control myself. Let’s go away together, and when their wedding is over, we’ll come back.”
Matthias’ request was really too much, so Heather decisively shook her head to refuse.
“Of course that won’t work. I promised Myra long ago that I would be her bridesmaid. Do you want to drive a wedge between us by making me unable to attend her wedding?” Listening to Matthias’ words, Heather suddenly felt that he was being very selfish despite his love for Myra.
That thought came out of nowhere, and when Matthias thought about it, he felt that he was indeed very selfish. How am I qualified to ask Heather to accompany me and avoid this wedding?
Even he did not expect himself to make such a request. Subconsciously, he did not want to be alone and wanted to stay with Heather so that he wouldn’t seem so lonely and miserable.
Heather looked at Matthias struggling with himself. Finally, she persuaded him. “Matthias, loving someone means wanting to see her happy. Since Myra is going to happily marry the person she loves, why can’t you give her your blessing?”
At such a moment, it was better to calm Matthias down. After all, Matthias’ forces were mixed, so she was also a little worried that he would do something extreme.
Myra and Tony’s wedding must go smoothly since Myra’s first wedding had left her traumatized. This time, nothing must happen in order to make Myra feel at ease to entrust herself to Tony for life.
“I wish I could, but I can’t. Can you give up on the person you love?” Matthias’ eyes were red, like that of a child who did not get to have candy; the pain in his eyes stabbed at Heather’s heart.
“How would you know if you don’t try?” Heather lightly replied. She had given up on her beloved before, and this thorn in her heart had turned into a tumor.
“Myra is my dream woman. Her significance to me is not only because she’s my first love, but also because she’s the savior of my life.” Matthias squatted down; he no longer had the strength to support his body.
“It’s time to wake up from the dream. Since Myra has saved you, you should be grateful. Isn’t it most important that Myra is happy and joyful?” Heather softened her tone as she went on comforting Matthias. She even stood up and took the initiative to approach him.
At this moment, even Heather was confused. She did not know whether she did this for Myra or she just simply wanted to appease Matthias. In any case, she could not bear to see him like this.
