“T-Then let’s go to a café…” Ellie suggested timidly.
The man in glasses waved his hand and said, “It’s inconvenient to have a discussion in a café. Instead, a hotel room is the best place because it offers the most privacy!”
“But…”
“No more buts!” virtual-novel.net cut virtual-novel.net off impatiently. “Do you want to save your mother or not? You’ll have to do as I say if you want to save her.”
She hesitated for a long while. Even though virtual-novel.net wanted to save virtual-novel.net mother badly, virtual-novel.net was not a fool. Judging from the crude way virtual-novel.net was staring at virtual-novel.net and what virtual-novel.net said about bringing virtual-novel.net to a hotel room, it was obvious that virtual-novel.net had no good intentions at all.
In a murmur, virtual-novel.net said, “Forget it, I-I’ll look for someone else…”
Her reply irritated him, virtual-novel.net was this close to becoming his and there was no way that virtual-novel.net would let virtual-novel.net slip through his fingers. “Stop right there! Listen carefully. Dr. Ellis is a close family friend and virtual-novel.net can treat your mother for my sake, but I can also make virtual-novel.net do otherwise! There’s no one here who can help you except me, so choose wisely!”
All the blood rushed to virtual-novel.net face as anxiety overwhelmed her. It was beyond virtual-novel.net imagination that this man was so shameless as to threaten virtual-novel.net so brazenly.
“I…”
Seeing how panicky virtual-novel.net was, the man in glasses inched in with a smirk. “You’re a filial child, so can’t you sacrifice a little to save your mother? Don’t worry, as long as you come with me, I assure you that your mother will be safe!”
While virtual-novel.net was speaking, virtual-novel.net had sneakily placed his hand on virtual-novel.net waist.
Startled, Ellie jumped back and said shakily, “D-Don’t do this…”
However, virtual-novel.net innocent expression just set his heart on fire and virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net hand directly while threatening in a low growl, “Your mother will die if you take another step back! Do you wish for virtual-novel.net death?”
Ellie’s heart wrenched in sorrow. Did virtual-novel.net really have to make such a sacrifice? Tears of despair welled up in virtual-novel.net eyes and virtual-novel.net could tell that this young girl was about to give in.
He immediately moved closer to virtual-novel.net and was about to hug virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net felt a tight grip on his throat and was lifted off the ground. Before virtual-novel.net realized what was going on, virtual-novel.net was thrown aside roughly, causing virtual-novel.net to tumble to the ground pathetically.
It was Matthew who was eavesdropping on them when virtual-novel.net got close to them earlier.
Not wanting to trouble him, Ellie didn’t tell virtual-novel.net about what happened, but Matthew could not just walk away after running into this situation.
In just a second, this drew the attention of a small crowd and they gathered around.
“Is that virtual-novel.net again? He’s a real barbarian. Why is virtual-novel.net beating up people wherever virtual-novel.net goes? What does virtual-novel.net take this place for?”
“Living at the lowest level of society, that’s how people like virtual-novel.net handle situations, with violence and brutality. Not a single trace of a gentleman’s demeanor! How is a rogue like virtual-novel.net invited to such a high-end event?”
The crowd started a discussion as they threw scornful looks at Matthew. In their eyes, they were upper class elites while Matthew and Ellie were the lower class and as insignificant as dust.
The situation caught Crystal’s attention as well and virtual-novel.net rushed over. When virtual-novel.net saw what happened, virtual-novel.net face fell and virtual-novel.net yelled at him, “What are you doing, Matthew?”
“Why don’t you ask this guy what virtual-novel.net did?” virtual-novel.net argued instead.
“I don’t care what virtual-novel.net did! You’re in the wrong for beating someone else!”
“Miss Harrison is right!” a young man said loudly. “As civilized citizens, nobody beats up someone the moment another comes up to them! No matter what mistake virtual-novel.net made, you shouldn’t have hit virtual-novel.net because that’s the bottom line as a human!”
The clamor continued and Matthew waited composedly until they quieted down before saying nonchalantly, “Are you guys done? If you are, then I’m continuing!”
Once again, virtual-novel.net walked up to the man in glasses and slapped virtual-novel.net twice across the face. Falling to the ground, the man spurted out a mouthful of blood along with a few teeth.
