If so, why don’t we first calm down Matthew over there, and then leave from here?
Thinking of this, I looked at Reynaldo, my cracked lips parted, ready to speak.
Reynaldo suddenly snapped at me coldly, “You better think carefully before you speak! I only listen to the truth!”
My heart tightened.
I stared quietly at him, facing his dark and oppressive eyes, moving my lips, but unable to speak for a long time.
Matthew was getting impatient: “Ms. Duffy, if you really can’t remember what happened last night, let me help you recall, shall I?”
“No need!”
I said in a low voice, looking at Reynaldo, and carefully said, “Actually, it was all a misunderstanding. Last night, nothing happened between me and Mr. Galatea…”
Oh, Ms. Duffy, did you say that wrong?
If nothing happened between us, then how did the scratch on my neck come from?
“Could it be that it was really scratched by a stray cat?”
I hadn’t finished speaking when Matthew suddenly chuckled lightly at me, with a hint of sarcasm and threat.

I frowned and looked at him.
It seems he was determined to make me distort the facts in order to provoke Reynaldo.
Matthew raised his lips and smirked at me, saying, “Just tell Mr. Humphrey that I forced you last night, okay?”
Reynaldo stared at me heavily, his eyes cold and menacing.
I pursed my lips and said, “No.”
“That’s it.‘

Matthew shrugged and laughed at Reynaldo, “I told you before, I didn’t force this woman at all.”
Everyone was a man, and it was a matter of men’s joy and women’s love. I think Mr. Humphrey still understands, right?
Reynaldo ignored him and just stared at me without blinking, his voice suddenly becoming low, “Tell me honestly, did he bully you?”
I clenched my fists tightly and said nothing.
Matthew lazily leaned back in his chair, a playful smile playing at the corner of his lips, “Ms. Duffy, Mr. Humphrey is asking you a question, why don’t you answer him quickly.”
I whispered, “No, Mr. Galatea did not bully me.”
Reynaldo suddenly chuckled, his smile cold and mocking, “So, it was really voluntary on your part? Voluntarily throwing yourself at him?”
“Yes.”
Just one word, but the exit was so difficult.

I didn’t dare to look at Reynaldo’s face, but I heard his cold laughter.
He said, “Esmeralda, is this really your truth?”
“Yes!”
This time I answered decisively.

Anyway, with Matthew glaring like a tiger, surrounded by bodyguards.
I just wanted to fulfill Matthew’s wish, to pacify Matthew as soon as possible, and then let him let us go.
I squared my heart and said to Reynaldo, “Mr. Galatea is powerful and wealthy, handsome and charming. It’s my good fortune to be noticed by him, isn’t it?”
And now I have no relationship with Mr. Humphrey, at most just your secretary.
“So, in the future, I hope Mr. Humphrey will not interfere in my personal affairs anymore.”
Reynaldo clenched his hand on the table bit by bit.
The coldness and murderous intent on him kept accumulating.
I quickly looked at Matthew and said, “Mr. Galatea, are you satisfied with my answer?”
Matthew blew a smoke ring and chuckled softly, saying, “Ms. Duffy is indeed a smart person.”
“Excuse me, Mr. Galatea, can we leave now?”
“Of course!” Matthew released the person quite decisively.
He waved the bodyguard aside and smiled meaningfully at me, saying, “Now that Mr. Humphrey has understood what happened last night and the misunderstandings have been cleared up, there is no need for us to continue making a fuss. Harmony brings wealth, after all.”
“So, our cooperation…”
