Chapter 1324
However, although I did not know Reynaldo’s specific plan, recalling the words Reynaldo said to me these days, my intuition is that Reynaldo would not impulsively go to die with Matthew. After all, he had a happy family and someone he wanted to protect. He should cherish his life now. But it cannot be denied that his actions tonight were definitely very dangerous. As Matthew said, tonight he might not necessarily die, but he could still get injured.
“How about it, Ms. Duffy, have you thought it over?”
“There is still an afternoon’s chance. If you agree to come back to Roxafito with me, then I will find a way to stop our young lady from coming over, and I will also explain the death of that beast to her. Of course, I will naturally let go of your good friend as well."
“Why do you insist on me going back to Roxafito with you?” I asked, somewhat puzzled.
Matthew chuckled and said, “Of course, I was jealous when I saw Reynaldo so happy. I just want him to live in pain for the rest of his life.”
“Are you sick?” I couldn’t help but mutter, “What does it matter to you if others are happy? You are so fond of jealousy, why not be jealous of all the people in the world? You can’t stand seeing others happy so much, why don’t you find a lover and start a family yourself? If you ask me, you are just twisted in your heart. You are sick. You can’t stand others being better than you, happier than you…”
“Ms. Duffy…” Matthew’s tone turned gloomy. “I advise you to watch your words. What should be said, what should not be said, I hope Ms. Duffy thinks it over. Also, I saw Ms. Duffy’s attitude, as if she really didn’t want to go back to Roxafito with me. So let’s wait for tonight. By then, Reynaldo will be injured, disabled, dying…Ms. Duffy, don’t cry.”
Matthew was about to hang up after speaking. I hurriedly shouted to him, “Wait!” No matter whether Matthew was exaggerating or not, I couldn’t let Reynaldo take any risks. I couldn’t afford to gamble. I said to Matthew in a low voice, “Let’s meet up.”
“Oh wow, what a surprise, Ms. Duffy actually asked me to meet up.” Matthew’s tone carried a hint of playfulness. “What? Ms. Duffy suddenly had a change of heart and is willing to go to Roxafito with me?”
“Shall we discuss it when we meet again?”
Matthew hesitated for a moment.
I sneered, “What? Mr. Galatea scared? So, if Mr. Galatea is really afraid of me, a weak and powerless woman, then Mr. Galatea might as well bring a few more bodyguards and choose a meeting place in a bustling city, how about that?"
“Jokes, am I afraid of you?” Matthew sneered coldly. “But, I can’t rule out the possibility that this is a trap set by you and Reynaldo. So, if Ms. Duffy wants to talk to me in person, she should come to Serene Hotel herself.”
Now it’s my turn to hesitate.
Matthew sneered over there, “What? Ms. Duffy scared too? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you now. Wanting to take you away is just to retaliate against him, Reynaldo. If Ms. Duffy was not at ease, she could have brought more bodyguards; it didn’t matter."
I lowered my gaze and said softly, “Okay.”
I hung up the phone and absentmindedly watched the two children playing happily in the snow, feeling heavy-hearted. The truth is, I had thought of the way to save Johnathan before, but it was rejected by me several times.
