Chapter 1266

I had actually thought about not showing up in person, just arranging a meeting place with Matthew and then tricking Kimberly into going there. But as Reynaldo said, Matthew was very clever. If I didn’t show up, and Matthew only saw Kimberly, he must have instantly thought it was a trap. By the time Kimberly had a chance to say anything, he would have already left, or maybe even taken care of Kimberly right then and there. Actually, it would be even better if we could film the scene of him resolving Kimberly’s issue. He was afraid that he might guess there were cameras around; it would be bad if he pulled out the cameras. In that case, if Kimberly were to die, Johnathan would have to pay with his life, which would be a loss. So, all things considered, I decided to step forward, at least to have some control over the situation.

And if I hadn’t stepped in, Kimberly might not have gone to see Matthew alone. Only when I mentioned the fact that Matthew killed her did she get agitated, and she might follow me to confront Matthew. However, I talked to Reynaldo for a long time, and he still didn’t agree with this method.

Finally, I got angry, and then he reluctantly agreed. I really couldn’t think of any other way. Being led by Matthew like this was really unbearable. We had to take the initiative and think of other ways to save Johnathan. Otherwise, if it dragged on, when Johnathan was imprisoned, things would be even more difficult.

The next day, I did not actively make plans with Matthew. With Matthew’s shrewdness, if I take the initiative to invite him, he will definitely become suspicious. I had to wait for him to come and bother me first. I needed to show that I was fed up with him, and then ask him out. That way, he probably wouldn’t suspect anything.

Sure enough, as I expected, he called me several times in the morning. I didn’t answer, as usual. Reynaldo stared at me from the side. Whenever Matthew’s phone rang, he stared at the string of jumping numbers on my screen, the murderous intent in his eyes almost spilling over. I could only put my phone on silent mode, throw it away, and then hug him. The hostility on his body dissipated a bit, and the look in his eyes softened.

For three consecutive days, I didn’t answer the phone calls from Matthew, nor did I reply to the messages he sent. Finally, he started sending some strange things under the pretext of giving gifts to Essie and Roddy, and even sent me some word cards. I was afraid that the man might have hidden something terrible in the “gifts” to scare the children, so I had the bodyguard reject all the “gifts” he brought. I didn’t even look at the card.

It took a week like this. On the eighth day, I finally answered his call. As soon as the phone was answered, I couldn’t help but growl lowly at my phone, “Matthew, what do you want to do?”

Matthew sneered over there, “Ms. Duffy is really patient, finally willing to answer my call.”

I sneered, “No matter how patient you are, you are no match for Mr. Galatea. Look, he has been sending gifts to me for a week, and calling me for a week. Mr. Galatea is really persistent.”

“There’s no way around it, Ms. Duffy is such an interesting person. I miss her a lot. I just wanted to see Ms. Duffy, just to see Ms. Duffy…”
