Chapter 1281

She bit her lip, looking on the verge of tears, about to speak, but Matthew turned and walked into the private room, not giving her a chance to perform.

Seeing this, I chuckled inwardly. So, why was Kimberly so convinced that Matthew couldn’t bear to kill her?

I turned back to look at Kimberly and deliberately smiled, saying, “I really thought, with your firm tone earlier, that Mr. Galatea had a special relationship with Ms. Palmer. It seems that Mr. Galatea didn’t really like Ms. Palmer at all.”

“You shut up!” Kimberly gritted her teeth, her eyes red with resentment, glaring at me.

I smiled at her and said, “Ms. Palmer is injured, so don’t get angry. After all, getting angry will only harm your body. There is no one here to comfort Ms. Palmer.”

“You…”

Kimberly gave me a cold glare and then walked towards the private room, but was once again stopped by the two bodyguards at the door.

I furrowed my brows and looked at Matthew sitting inside smoking. “What does this mean, Mr. Galatea? I remember, it was you who insisted on meeting with me. Does it mean you don’t want to see me just because I brought Ms. Palmer with me?”

“Sorry, I didn’t know you disliked Ms. Palmer so much.”

After I finished speaking, Kimberly’s face turned red with anger, and she glared at me fiercely.

I chuckled and said, “Ms. Cr, don’t stare at me like that. It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s just that Mr. Galatea doesn’t want to see you. You see, now I can’t even go in because of all this.”

After saying that, I looked at Kimberly mockingly, hoping that Kimberly would start arguing with Matthew soon.

Kimberly gritted her teeth, called me a “bitch,” and then glared fiercely in Matthew’s direction.

She was about to question Matthew when he suddenly smiled faintly and said, “I think you misunderstood. I never said that I didn’t let you in because I dislike Ms. Palmer.”

After listening, Kimberly even raised her eyebrows at me smugly. I was full of sneers. This woman is crazy. Matthew said he hates her, but she still acts so pleased with herself.

Just then, the next second Matthew said, “But before you come in, you have to be searched.”

“Frisking?” I furrowed my brow and stared at Matthew.

Matthew smiled and took a puff of his cigarette, saying nonchalantly, “I’m new here, so I definitely need to get rid of anything that might be harmful to me, don’t you think, Ms. Duffy?”

I was secretly shocked in my heart. He even searched my body, so he must have searched every corner of this room as well. Fortunately, there was no recorder placed in the private room, otherwise he would definitely have found it.

After Matthew finished speaking, the two bodyguards came forward to search Kimberly and me. The bodyguard behind me saw the situation and quickly walked up, standing in front of me for protection.

I looked angrily at Matthew and said, “You were the one who forced me to come out and meet, and now you’re the one causing all this drama. Matthew, you shouldn’t push people too far!”

Matthew leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and laughed wildly and unrestrained. “Look at what Ms. Duffy said, it’s just a frisk, not taking advantage of you. Why is Ms. Duffy so upset? You see, Ms. Palmer was quite cooperative.”

Indeed, Kimberly was very cooperative, even opening her arms to let the two bodyguards search her. As if being praised, Kimberly smiled proudly at me.

Sometimes I really feel like this woman is sick!
