The manager looked at Heather in aggrievement as he had never dealt with such a difficult woman before. As he wiped the sweat on his forehead, Matthias’ orders were still in his phone and he wouldn’t dare to defy orders.
“I’m sorry, Miss Langston, but you can see that we have already started. It will be difficult for us to stop now.” The manager almost cried as he looked at her. A fully grown man was now on the verge of tears because of her.
Then, she looked at him with displeasure. “Then, take my money.” Quickly, she opened another check and this time, she was exceptionally generous as she waved a check worth 500,000 in front of him.
However, he didn’t even bat an eye on the check as he continued to beg her. “Miss Langston, please stop getting me in trouble. If I accept your money today, Director Locke will fire me. I have a family to raise and jobs like this don’t come easily for me. Miss Langston, can you please help me?”
Heather was immediately startled by his sudden plea. What should I do now? I can’t make him lose his job, right? Even though I’m not a saint, judging from Matthias’ personality, this is definitely something he will do.
After looking at the manager’s aggrieved face, she withdrew her check. Overall, I’m still no match against Matthias’ ruthlessness. I can only owe him this one. So what? He did this willingly. What a pervert! She didn’t appreciate what Matthias had done because she only felt that his entire mind was really twisted. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, as she thought about it, she realized that he wanted her to be angry, so instead, she thought about how fortunate she was that she didn’t hit anyone else. Even after hitting his car, he still wanted to pay for the repairs, which helped to save me a few hundred thousand. On the bright side, this is great! She wasn’t going to let him get to her head, so she composed herself before happily keeping the check away.
“Alright. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’m going to have a meal now, so I’ll come to collect my car later on.” Heather politely smiled. I won’t let him get to me. I’ll just see this as him wasting his money to torture himself.
Therefore, she found a nearby restaurant and ordered something to eat. When she was hungry, she was still thinking about the delicious food, but she suddenly thought of Myra. I wonder what she is doing at the moment. And what is it with that headache of hers? She seemed to have that headache only when meeting Matthias, which means that it has something to do with him. However, she and Myra didn’t dare to say anything about it—even though Myra was perfectly fine before she met him.
As for Myra forgetting who Matthias was, Heather was still puzzled about it. Judging from Myra’s previous relationship with him as his puppy love, she shouldn’t have forgotten him. I must get to the bottom of this. Therefore, she immediately called Myra, asking her out for a meal.
In the meantime, Myra was busy with the Stark Group. This time, Cameron didn’t have any chance to retaliate, so she was able to easily acquire the Stark Group within a few days.
Therefore, she was now busy dealing with the company handover and didn’t have the time to accompany Heather. Upon hearing that everything was going well, Heather was happy for her.
After Heather was done with her meal, it was still too early for her to retrieve her car since it wasn’t done yet. For a moment, she didn’t know where to go, so she found a place to drink coffee. Again, she was alone, and it usually came with its disturbance.
Looking outside the window and her surroundings, she noticed that there were couples everywhere, which made her feel lonely for some reason. After experiencing so much, she actually became a loner after leaving her bustling school life.
Whenever she was alone, she would suddenly have the desire for excitement inside her heart, but at the same time, she hated the vain excitement among people. Is it happier to be lonely among a group of people?
While she stared at the cup in front of her, she remembered her past when she did all she could to drive Matthias away from Myra.
It was during that rainy night when Heather drove Matthias away after he rushed all the way to care for Myra. At that time, Myra had a fever and her consciousness was in a daze, so she didn’t know the despicable things that Heather had done.
Ever since that day, there wasn’t any news of him at all and no one knew what he experienced during that rainy night.
As for Myra, she felt upset for a period after she finally recovered. However, with Heather beside her, she slowly turned over a new leaf. After that, they rarely mentioned Matthias, but Heather couldn’t figure out how Myra managed to completely forget him.
She faintly remembered that Myra seemed to have fallen down the stairs before because of her stepmother. Is that why she has forgotten Matthias? Is it because her brain has sustained injuries after that fall? Why does it have to be Matthias who is forgotten, though? Why does it have to be her memory with Matthias?
Heather just couldn’t wrap her head around the fact. If you can’t understand something, you either leave it for tomorrow or completely forget it. Therefore, she put down the cup of coffee in her hand as it was about time to get her car. I can’t stay here and waste my time.
Thinking about it, Heather immediately rose to her full height to open the door of the coffee shop with a bright smile on her face. The sun is perfect. Everything is perfect, so why should I worry this much? It’s quite nice to be alone.
The moment she went back to the repair shop, Matthias happened to be waiting for her inside. Her good mood was instantly completely gone at his sight. I can’t believe it’s him again. I think I should find some time to pray more so that this evil man can stay far away from me.
“Miss Langston, what a coincidence!” His menacing smile and charming eyes were useless toward her.
“What a coincidence!” Heather replied resignedly.
“My car is ready, so I’m here to pick it up. I assume that you are here to pick up your car too, right?” He tried to act dumb, but she didn’t even want to talk to him.
Therefore, she forced a polite smile. “Yes.”
After Heather entered her car, Matthias opened the door on the other side and came in straight away. Immediately, her entire face darkened as she stared at him with displeasure. He really is a scoundrel.
“I don’t want to drive myself today. Miss Langston, why don’t you give me a ride?” he asked shamelessly.
However, she answered coldly, “Our paths don’t align.” At that moment, she really wanted to throw him out of her car.
“It’s fine, Miss Langston. You can take me anywhere.” It was obvious that he was clinging onto Heather today. He really has thick skin, but I don’t think he would dare to follow me to the Langston Residence. “I’m returning to the Langston Residence,” she uttered flatly.
“That’s great. I can go over to have a chat with your brother.” Matthias was practically shameless at that moment. No matter what she said, he just wouldn’t leave.
“My family doesn’t welcome you,” she immediately responded. In her mind, she had already killed him countless times.
“It’s fine. As long as your brother welcomes me,” he replied while mentioning Blake in an attempt to infuriate her.
“Get out of my car. I don’t want to drive you there. I don’t like my brother’s shitty friends.” Heather made it clear that she didn’t like both Matthias and Blake.
“I don’t think your brother and I are friends. We are business partners.” Matthias continued to refute her while buckling his safety belt on his own accord. After that, he stared at her.
She immediately furrowed her brows. Today, I finally got to see how shameless this man is, but I can’t stay here for too long; otherwise, people may think that we are flirting with each other inside the car. Therefore, she could only drive the car away in helplessness.
The car flew on the road as Heather drove in an exceptionally fierce manner, but Matthias remained unmoved while raising his brow.
Inside the car, she asked him in displeasure, “When will you stop exacting your revenge on me?” I shouldn’t have offended him back then. What a bitter man! I’m tired now.
“Do you still remember that rainy night?” he suddenly asked.
For a moment, Heather didn’t know how to answer Matthias. When she was sitting in the coffee shop, she also thought about that fateful night and now, he probed about it.
That time, she had indeed wronged him and it was truly her fault, so she remained silent. Looking at her expression with satisfaction, he lightly continued his words. “When you drove me away that rainy night, I actually thought that Myra hated me. Why was I such an idiot?” he uttered with a hint of regret in his tone.
However, she still remained silent. At that time, the methods I used were indeed despicable. If the same thing happens now, I will never do it again. People tend to make mistakes when they are young.
“Actually, I don’t completely blame you for this. I can only blame myself for being an idiot. Why was I so easily fooled by you?” Matthias murmured profoundly, as if the scenery in front of him had turned into that rainy night back then.
“What happened afterward? Why didn’t you come back to find Myra?” Heather forced herself to ask. At that time, she thought that she would never get rid of him, but surprisingly, he was completely gone after that.
“It’s because I was in a car accident. Then, my family took me home before my body fully recovered,” he explained resignedly. At that time, he couldn’t walk with both legs, so he wanted to find Myra after it had recovered, but his father didn’t give him the chance to do.
He immediately felt a sense of bitterness in his heart as he regretted not crawling straight to her at that moment. Just like that, he missed the chance to hug her ever again.
Looking at him in shock, Heather suddenly felt guilty in her heart. I can’t believe my one mistake has cost him so much.
“At that time, I was on the hospital bed for half a year, thinking that I could finally see Myra after I recovered, but I never had the chance to,” Matthias uttered mockingly.
“I’m sorry,” she apologized with an unusually deep tone because she really felt sorry for him. I didn’t know that I’d hurt him this much. No wonder he hates me.
“You’re sorry? What a simple reply. I don’t blame you for almost crippling me. I hate you because you took Myra away from me. Do you know how much I love her? She was the savior of my life. She was my angel, but I’ll never be with her again. Now, I can only watch from afar while I silently give her my blessing,” he murmured in pain. At that moment, his heart was aching as he couldn’t bear to easily let Myra go.
“I’m sorry since it’s all my fault. I’m willing to accept that you would want your revenge on me,” Heather enunciated. No matter what he did to me before, it is all for a reason.
“Why would she forget me?” Matthias’ painful eyes pierced her heart.
His eyes were filled with so many deep emotions that she didn’t even dare to look at him. At that moment, she opened her mouth wide, but she couldn’t utter a word to answer him.
