Stunned, Matthias asked, “What are you insinuating?”
Just as Matthias spoke, Cindy cries rang out from outside.
“Let go of me! Are you crazy? She was the one who released me and now, why have you captured me again? Release me at once!” Cindy let out an ear-piercing shriek.
Matthias looked on in shock as Cindy was dragged back forcefully by the bodyguards.
Trembling in anger, Cindy questioned Arielle, “What‘s the meaning of this? Didn‘t you agree to release me? How could you reneged on your word?”
Arielle was taller than Cindy. Folding virtual-novel.net arms, virtual-novel.net sneered, “I did agree to let you off.”
“Then why…”
“But I didn‘t say that I wouldn‘t recapture you once I did.”
“Arielle!” Cindy pointed at Arielle angrily and began cursing at her.
Vinson’s expression darkened in response.
Having served Vinson for a long time, the two bodyguards knowingly stepped forward and gave Cindy a forceful slap each.
As the bodyguards weren‘t ordinary men, they smacked Cindy into a daze with blood oozing out the corner of virtual-novel.net mouth. The impact was so powerful that virtual-novel.net was thrown onto the ground with a loud thud, causing virtual-novel.net to cry out in pain.
However, all virtual-novel.net heard was Vinson‘s mocking voice. “Only two kinds of people in the world are allowed to scold her. The first hasn‘t been born while the second are all dead. Tell me, which kind do you belong to?”
Looking up subconsciously, Cindy‘s gaze met with Vinson‘s. When virtual-novel.net saw the murderous intent in his eyes, virtual-novel.net was seized by fear. She had seen Vinson a few times before, and virtual-novel.net would always have a frosty expression on his face. However, it was never that terrifying before. She felt as if his domineering aura was enough to crush virtual-novel.net to bits.
Amidst virtual-novel.net fear, Cindy finally remembered Matthias.
“Matthias…” She looked teary-eyed at him. However, Matthias‘ expression was indifferent and showed no pity at all.
“Matthias?” Cindy was taken aback.
Matthias scoffed, “Cindy, you only have yourself to blame for falling into such dire circumstances.”
Cindy was devastated by his words. At that moment, it dawned upon virtual-novel.net that Matthias was no longer hers. However, all virtual-novel.net assets overseas were held in his name. Back then, virtual-novel.net let Matthias manage all virtual-novel.net assets to avoid being discovered by Henrick. Consequently, the money no longer belonged to virtual-novel.net if Matthias didn‘t approve of any transaction.
As a sudden sense of horror enveloped her, virtual-novel.net subconsciously walked up to Matthias to hold his hand. However, virtual-novel.net swept it off instead.
“Cindy, from now on, we will go separate ways!”
Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net raised his hand and slapped virtual-novel.net with all his might. Although the slap hit Cindy physically, it was also a symbolic one for him. It had served to wake virtual-novel.net up from his blind devotion to her.
Holding virtual-novel.net face in pain, Cindy‘s cheeks were already badly swollen. However, virtual-novel.net had no time to be concerned about it. Instead, virtual-novel.net glared at Matthias in disbelief. “How dare you hit me?”
All this while, I was the center of Matthias‘ world. But now, virtual-novel.net has raised his hand against me?
Gritting his teeth, Matthias replied, “I would have killed you if I could.”
“You…” Despite opening virtual-novel.net mouth, no words came out.
At that moment, Matthias walked up to Arielle. However, virtual-novel.net was blocked by Vinson who stepped in between them.
