Chapter 1262

So, at that time, did Matthew really use a telescope to observe everything in my yard?

Just then, Matthew chuckled and said, "Ms. Duffy, rest assured, I am an honest person. When I said I was just going to talk to Ms. Duffy about business, I meant just that – business."

"So, Ms. Duffy, would you like to come out and meet someone?"

Matthew’s intention was already very clear: he wanted to deceive me into meeting him, then set a trap for me to fall into, and then use me to restrain Reynaldo.

He never showed up for his appointment.

I was too lazy to engage in useless entanglement with him. I cut to the chase and asked him, "So, Mr. Galatea, could you tell me about your terms?"

"What will it take for you to let Johnathan go?"

"Hehe, you are just as boring as Reynaldo. Solving riddles is much more fun; instead of asking everything so clearly, it’s not fun at all.”

Mr. Galatea laughed and said, "For something as important as this, of course you have to ask clearly."

"So, Mr. Galatea, tell me, what were your conditions?"

Matthew didn’t answer me immediately; instead, he stood there laughing, laughing mysteriously.

Upon hearing his voice, a wave of disgust swept over my heart. I was just about to urge him to answer quickly.

He suddenly chuckled, "Actually, I had already told Reynaldo the conditions I wanted, but he refused to agree. Since he wouldn’t agree, I had to talk to Ms. Duffy myself."

"Is that so?" I sneered, "If your condition is to take his life, even if he doesn’t agree, I wouldn’t agree either."

"Hehe, I was overthinking. I don’t want his life. If he dies, how can we continue playing this game?"

I furrowed my brow, increasingly puzzled about Matthew’s purpose in coming to Freybourne. He did so much just to retaliate against Reynaldo. If he didn’t want Reynaldo’s life, or his financial status in Freybourne, then what did he want?

Before I could even ask, Matthew suddenly chuckled softly and said, "I told him that what I wanted was you, to exchange you for Johnathan."

Unfortunately, Reynaldo disagreed.

"Alas, they say men are like brothers, women are like clothes. It seems he values clothes more."

Want to trade me for Johnathan? Then I’ll be the one to distract Reynaldo? Ha, he sure made his calculations loudly.

I said bluntly, "Mr. Galatea helping Kimberly so much was just a way to use Johnathan to threaten Reynaldo."

Chapter 1262

Now that Reynaldo seems to be interested in me again, you want to use me to control Reynaldo, right?

Mr. Galatea just didn’t think that, no matter who was used to restrain Reynaldo, the effect would be the same, right?

“So, why did you think Reynaldo would do this deal with you?”

“Just with my… I had plenty of ways to kill Johnathan.”

“Matthew!”

“Oh, is Ms. Duffy angry?” Matthew chuckled, “Or is angry Ms. Duffy more fun…”

I was about to speak when, the next second, the phone in my hand was suddenly snatched away. I looked up and saw Reynaldo.

He put the phone to his ear and said in a deep voice, “Matthew, let’s meet up.”

Because the phone was not on speaker, I didn’t know what Matthew said.

Reynaldo gave a cold sneer and said, "I thought Mr. Galatea was fearless, but it turns out he’s too scared to even see me. What a fallen man.

"If you dare to touch a single hair on my wife and children again, I won’t mind turning Freybourne into your burial ground."

I don’t know if Matthew got angry.
