Chapter 2055


    My expression froze at his words and I even forgot to walk.


    Matthew noticed how I was stunned and leaned toward me with a smile. I immediately responded,


    "What are you doing?"


    "I noticed you’re in a daze, so I’m helping you out."


    "Don''t get so close to me."


    "Everyone is talking about us anyway, so why be afraid?"


    Matthew''s casualness upset me even more. The soles of my feet suddenly slipped. I was wearing


    high heels and my feet were aching. I was about to fall but Matthew grabbed my waist and held me


    firmly.


    "Are you all right?"


    The drama of a hero saving a beauty was timeless.


    If it were any other girl, they would probably be starstruck by Matthew. As for me, I just thanked him


    for saving me and the child in my belly.


    "Thank you." My voice was very low, and I left his arms after I got up.


    Noticing my actions, Matthew’s expression changed, but the smile on the corners of his mouth was


    still there. "You''re wee."


    The sudden twitch of his eye when he let me go threw my heart for a loop.


    I really could not get close to this Matthew.


    Endure it. I just had to endure it.


    Matthew held the microphone in his hand and looked around like a king looking down at his


    subjects during ancient times. His voice was imposing, "First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for


    taking time out of their busy schedules toe to this private banquet. I hope everyone has a


    wonderful night."


    The moment he said that a few gregarious individuals said, "President Zimmer, you’re being so


    courteous. Who is there that is unaware of YA''s prestige? But why aren’t we seeing President Grant


    on this asion tonight? Only his wife is present and she looks quite close to you, President


    Zimmer. Could it be that President Zimmer and Madam Grant are..."


    He did not finish his sentence but it carried meaning. Those who get it got it.


    Just as I was about to respond, Matthew answered, "Everyone here must have had a bad


    experience with President Grant. If I had invited him, it would only ruin everyone’s day. The reason


    why I invited Miss Lane is very simple. We’ve known each other for a long time and are very close


    friends. My feelings for Miss Lane have not changed even though she’s now married."


    I very much suspected that Matthew had long made preparations for what he had just dered


    publicly.


    So, the people he invited tonight were all people who had grudges against Theo. It was easy for him


    to unite them against Theo.


    "Hahaha, President Zimmer, you’re really lovestruck. Both husband and wife are like glue. I don’t


    think you’d be able to get in."


    "I believe that as long as one has the will, there is a way. You’re all intelligent, I suppose everyone


    understands why I’ve gathered you all here today."


    Matthew nced at them. His voice was light, but there was a heavy threat to it.


    The people below nodded. "I think I get it, but does President Zimmer have a detailed n?"


    The people he invited were not many, but they were leaders in various industries. Even if they were


    not the first, they were definitely part of the top tenpany managers. It would be difficult for Theo


    once they join forces.


    "Of course, I have a n, but since Miss Lane is present, I think we should keep a low profile. As


    long as we reach cooperation, we can head over to the conference room to discuss it in detail. What


    are your thoughts?"


    "Since this banquet was specially organized for this then I’ll be direct. Theo is a high-handed man.


    We can''tpete with him for projects. He can just remain within the entertainment industry. But it


    would be despicable if he were to step down together with us. How are we supposed to manage


    then?”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
