    Valerie’s heart tightened. Fortunately, Matthew was faster. The moment the elevator door closed, the streamers were blocked outside. They did not give up and went down the <b>stairs</b>.

    through the back


    Seeing they could not catch up, some streamers were so angry that they stomped their feet on the spot. Some other streamers hurriedly took a tax? and chased after them.

    let that wor


    woman run away! Why didn’t you watch her closely!”


    “How can you me us for it? Someone scattered money in the corridor. You guys all went to pick up the money, and I wanted it, too


    “Stop arguing. Step on It Don’t lose them!”


    The few strea


    streamers cursed at each other and urged the taxi driver to speed up. They did not notice a car hiding at theer not far away.


    After <b>watching </b>the taxi <b>drive </b>away, Matthew started the car ragain and headed slowly in the opposite direction, Valerie sat on the passenger <b>seat</b>, sti wearing his <b>jacket </b>and the hat that covered her whole face.


    “It’s all right now”


    After Matthew finished speaking, Valerie seemed tired. She hid her face under the hat and whispered. “Mr. Grant, <b>thank </b>you for saving me again?


    She used the word save, not help. She couldn’t imagine what would have happened next if Matthew hadn’te in time.


    However, after <b>thanking </b>Matthew, she did not know how to face him or exin what had happened. She <b>could </b>only hide under the hat and try to calm herself down. She thought about what to do next since things had already be so bad


    After <b>an </b>unknown period, the car suddenly stopped


    Matthew’s voice sounded. “We’re here. Get out of the car<b>.</b>”


    <b>“</b>We’re here” Valerie wondered, Where are we?


    Valerie took off her <b>hat </b>in confusion and nced out the car window. She realized it was a neighborhood she had never been to before.


    While she <b>was </b>hesitating, Matthew had already gotten our of the car and walked around to her side to open the <b>door </b>for her.


    Valerie had no choice but to get out of the car. However<b>, </b>as she reached the second floor, she heard a <b>familiar </b>voice say. “Matthew, where’s <b>Val</b>? Chop–chop. Bring her in


    That voice sounded very


    <b>familiar </b>Valerie’s heart tightened, and she immediately turned around to go downstairs.


    Seeing her run away, Sophia panicked. “Hey, why is Val leaving? Mathew, what’s going on?”


    Matthew frowned slightly. After assuring Sophia <b>that </b>nothing was wrong, he chased after Valerie. He was tall and had long legs. <b>Not </b>only did he <b>easily </b><b>catch </b>up to Valerie, but he also blocked her path.


    “Where are you going?” asked Mathew.


    <b>Valerie </b>wa


    was anxious and helpless. “Mr. Grant, why did you bring g me here! You saw what happened tonight. If those people find out I’m here, they’ll


    cause trouble for Sophia!<b>”</b>


    Matthew stared at Valerie’s head for a while. He knew i that no matter what he <b>said</b>, she <b>might </b>not listen. Hence, he just held her hand again.


    “Come with me,” <b>said </b>Matthew.


    “Mr. Grant, don’t”


    Valerie struggled a little, but she was still forced upstairs by Matthew and brought to <b>Sophia</b>.


    Sophia went over with open arms and said in confusion, “Oh <b>God</b>, Matthew has finally got you back<b>. </b><b>Val</b>, darling, you’re in my house now. Why did you run after seeing me? Don’t you want to <b>see </b>me? Do you hate me<b>?</b>”


    For a moment, Valerie did not know how to exin. Matthew helped her out<b>.</b>


    “Grandma<b>, </b>Valerie didn’t know that I brought <b>her </b>here. She wanted to buy some gifts. It’s no good toe empty–handed for the <b>first </b>time


    Valerie dad not expect Matthew to say that. She was stunned and quickly nodded.


    Sophia was relieved when she heard dut. She smiled <b>and </b>said. “Ah, no need, no need. You should bring gifts to be a guest at another house, but <b>Val</b>,


    to youing every day just make yourself home. Forget about


    don’t bother with that when you visit me at my house. I’ve been looking forward to youin the etiquettes”


    After saying that, Sophia held Valerie’s hand.


    Valerie’s wrist was a little red from being dragged by Matthew Sophia’s heart ached when she saw <b>that</b>. She could not help but punch her grandson’s arm and fumed. “Look how rude you’ve been. You even lelt a bruise on Val’s hand. <b>Val</b>, don’t spoil him. If he dares bully you agam, let me know. Ell knock some senses into <b>him </b>for your sake!”


    Valerie wanted to exin to Sophia that Matthew dad not do it deliberately, but Matthew had agreed to Sophia’s words. “Got it, Grandma


    “Mr. Ma… <b>Valerie </b>was stunned.


    Matthew leaned into her ear and interrupted her. “Call me by my


    y name. Otherwise, Grandma will ask all sorts of <b>questions </b><b>again</b>.


    His breath was warm When he spoke, it was right beside her car. She could not help but shrink her neck. She felt as if something had melied her heart. Before she could figure out what it was, Matthew took her hand and led her into the house.
