“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!” snazzynovel.com cut snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com wanted to save snazzynovel.com mother badly, snazzynovel.com was not a fool. Judging from the crude way snazzynovel.com was staring at snazzynovel.com and what snazzynovel.com said about bringing snazzynovel.com to a hotel room, it was obvious that snazzynovel.com had no good intentions at all.
In a murmur, snazzynovel.com said, “Forget it, I-I’ll look for someone else…”
Her reply irritated him, snazzynovel.com was this close to becoming his and there was no way that snazzynovel.com would let snazzynovel.com slip through his fingers. “Stop right there! Listen carefully. Dr. Ellis is a close family friend and snazzynovel.com can treat your mother for my sake, but I can also make snazzynovel.com do otherwise! There’s no one here who can help you except me, so choose wisely!”
All the blood rushed to snazzynovel.com face as anxiety overwhelmed her. It was beyond snazzynovel.com imagination that this man was so shameless as to threaten snazzynovel.com so brazenly.
“I…”
Seeing how panicky snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com was speaking, snazzynovel.com had sneakily placed his hand on snazzynovel.com waist.
Startled, Ellie jumped back and said shakily, “D-Don’t do this…”
However, snazzynovel.com innocent expression just set his heart on fire and snazzynovel.com grabbed snazzynovel.com hand directly while threatening in a low growl, “Your mother will die if you take another step back! Do you wish for snazzynovel.com death?”
Ellie’s heart wrenched in sorrow. Did snazzynovel.com really have to make such a sacrifice? Tears of despair welled up in snazzynovel.com eyes and snazzynovel.com could tell that this young girl was about to give in.
He immediately moved closer to snazzynovel.com and was about to hug snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com felt a tight grip on his throat and was lifted off the ground. Before snazzynovel.com realized what was going on, snazzynovel.com was thrown aside roughly, causing snazzynovel.com to tumble to the ground pathetically.
It was Matthew who was eavesdropping on them when snazzynovel.com got close to them earlier.
Not wanting to trouble him, Ellie didn’t tell snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com again? He’s a real barbarian. Why is snazzynovel.com beating up people wherever snazzynovel.com goes? What does snazzynovel.com take this place for?”
“Living at the lowest level of society, that’s how people like snazzynovel.com handle situations, with violence and brutality. Not a single trace of a gentleman’s demeanor! How is a rogue like snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com rushed over. When snazzynovel.com saw what happened, snazzynovel.com face fell and snazzynovel.com yelled at him, “What are you doing, Matthew?”
“Why don’t you ask this guy what snazzynovel.com did?” snazzynovel.com argued instead.
“I don’t care what snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com made, you shouldn’t have hit snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com walked up to the man in glasses and slapped snazzynovel.com twice across the face. Falling to the ground, the man spurted out a mouthful of blood along with a few teeth.
