Chapter 2038
After some persuasion, Roxanne reluctantly agreed, though she was clearly unhappy about it. With
Matthew present, she couldn''t very well lose her temper. It was important to maintain her feminine
image, so she nced gratefully at Eleanor. Tritus also realized that he couldn''t directly confront
Matthew with Roxanne around, as it would only make her angrier. So, he had to take a more patient
approach.
"Mr. Larson, I''m sorry. Sometimes when I care too much about someone, I be over-anxious."
After a false apology to Matthew, Tritus quickly extended an invitation. "Roxanne, haven''t you been
wanting to treat Mr. Larson to a meal? It''s already toote to go anywhere else, so why don''t you dine
here with us? What do you think, Mr. Larson?"
His tone carried a hint of menace, but Matthew shrugged off the veiled threat. In Bainbridge, even the
most arrogant person wouldn''t dare to mobilize arge number of people. Moreover, they were
currently preparing for the Holy Doctor Competition, and any potential threat to public security would be
severely punished. No matter how powerful the family was, it was nothingpared to the country''s
dignity.
"I don''t mind, but I''m curious. Wasn''t Miss Bane wanting to treat me to a meal just something between
me and her?" Matthew walked over with a mocking expression. "Mr. Tritus, are you monitoring Miss
Bane every day, or did someone tell you about this?"
As soon as those words came out, Tritus was speechless. Meanwhile, Roxanne was already flustered
by the confession from Tritus she had heard earlier. With Matthew''s remarks, she suddenly understood.
How could Tritus know about her improving health and her dinner invitation to Matthew? Someone
must have leaked the information.
She turned her head and nced at Eleanor, who immediately looked awkward and lowered her head.
Eleanor was cursing Matthew in her heart, Damn you and your devious intention of trying to drive a
wedge between Roxanne and me. She didn''t feel an ounce of guilt for her actions.
"How about we go to another restaurant, Mr. Larson?" Although Roxanne was doing her best to
suppress her irritation, it was clear to everyone that she was extremely upset. But when she spoke,
Eleanor immediately panicked. After all, it was not easy to conspire with Tritus. If they missed this
opportunity, they might not have another chance.
"It''s my fault, Roxy. I identally let it slip. We''ve already ordered food here, so it''s a waste not to eat it
all. If we go to another restaurant now, there might not be any seats avable. Plus, Mr. Larson is
preparing for thepetition, and it would be a waste of his time to go back and forth, right?"

Compared to Tritus, Eleanor was much smarter. Although she was unwilling to, she still brought up
Matthew to divert Roxanne''s attention. Sure enough, when Matthew was mentioned, Roxanne''s
expression softened.
"Miss Bane, why don''t we just have a simple meal here?" Matthew could see through Eleanor''s little
trick and didn''t want to trouble Roxanne. The sooner they finished eating, the sooner they could go
home, and the issue of his request would have to wait.
After Roxanne nodded, Tritus took a deep breath and suppressed his fury. Then, he pped his hands
and said, "Please bring out the food, Manager."
Since they had ordered in advance and reserved the restaurant, the food was served quickly. By the
time they all sat down, the dishes had already been ced on the table. Although Tritus was impulsive,
he wasn''t stupid. Any obvious hostility toward Matthew would only provoke Roxanne''s displeasure.
Tritus had stopped using his foolish ways, so he said, "Mr. Larson, what happened earlier was my fault.
I''m really sorry. To show my apology, I''ll drink as a punishment."
After speaking in a cheerful tone, Tritus lifted his head and gulped down the wine in his ss. Then, he
poured himself some more wine.
