Chapter 416


    Matthias’s frantic and fearfulughter echoed around the whole room. Heather never truly knew


    Matthias because ordinary provocation methods were ineffective on him.


    “It’s been many years, but you haven’t made any progress at all.” Matthias looked at Heather


    contemptuously. Over the years, Matthias had improved significantly. Compared to him, Heather


    seemed to have not changed much.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    It was the first time she was looked down at by someone. Back when Heather met Matthias at his


    speech, she had a premonition that she would meet him again. Back then, she already noticed


    Matthias’s change, but at that instant, she felt his threatening aura even more deeply.


    “You thought that I would care about what you think, and you’ve despised me ever since you were


    young.” As Matthias spoke, he poked Heather’s chest, where her heart was. I really want to open up


    Heather’s heart and see what’s inside.


    Heather directly pped Matthias’s hand away and red at him angrily. His actions had provoked her.


    “You should learn to be respectful.” Even though Heather didn’t have much strength, she wouldn’t allow


    Matthias to continue to humiliate her.


    “Since when have you respected me?” Matthias pressed his body against Heather’s to stop her from


    moving. Their two bodies stuck close to each other.


    Heather raised her arm to p Matthias on the face, but Matthias quickly grabbed her arm and stopped


    her. “You should’ve thought about the difference in our strengths before you decided to attack.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Heather’s other hand to stop her from having any chance


    to attack him again.


    “Let go of me,” Heather hissed coldly. This is insulting. She red at him furiously, and her eyes were


    filled with hatred.


    “That’s the gaze that I remember. For some reason, you have had a strong hatred toward me since the


    first time we met,” Matthias said upsettingly. When Myra was young, she was Heather’s most loyal


    follower. Heather interfered with Myra’s rtionship with Matthias and caused Matthias to have many


    regrets.


    “Of course I hate you.” Heather red at him and said, “Myra is my only friend and the only light in my


    life. Back then, I didn’t want anyone to take her away from me, but ever since you appeared, all Myra


    talked about was you.” Back then, Matthias wasn’t the only one who was hurt. When Heather was


    young, she desired to have love and friendship all to herself, and she was not willing to share them with


    others.


    “Myra was very excited to introduce you to me, but I hated you. I hated your face that looked more


    feminine than a woman and your cowardly character. I still can’t figure out why Myra liked someone like


    you,” Heather said in disdain. She had a deep hatred toward Matthias since the moment she saw him;


    he had an aura that disgusted her.


    Some people were destined to hate each other. No matter the young innocent-looking version of


    Matthias, or the grown-up vicious version of Matthias, Heather hated him to the core.


    “Good. I have the same feelings toward you. I have hated you ever since I first saw you, and the kind of


    hatred I have toward youes from the bottom of my heart,” Matthias replied seriously. Back when


    he was young, he wanted to please Myra, so he deliberately took the initiative to be friends with


    Heather. However, he was unexpectedly humiliated by her. From then on, he had an indelible hatred for


    Heather.


    “I will remember the humiliation I suffered today. If you are capable, you should kill me right now.


    Otherwise, I promise that I will take revenge.” Heather red at Matthias angrily. I will make sure he


    pays for what he has done to me.


    “We live in a society ruled byw and killing is against thew. As a good citizen, I will never do


    anything illegal.” Matthias continued to provoke Heather. Although he hated her, he didn’t want to end


    her life. All he wanted was to humiliate her the same way she humiliated him in the past.


    “You still have feelings for Myra and that is your weakness. Matthias, it’s best that you don’t provoke


    me. Otherwise, the two of us will get hurt.” The corners of Heather’s lips curled into a smug grin. She


    had used the same method in the past to defeat Matthias.


    “I’m no longer the same person I once was, so your little tricks arepletely useless,” Matthias


    replied disapprovingly. I was defeated by Heather back then because I wasn’t strong enough, but now


    that I have gotten stronger, I will no longer give in to this woman.


    “Just wait and see. You will never win Myra’s heart because the man she loves is Tony, and her best


    friend is me. Meanwhile, you are just someone who only appeared shortly in her life. She doesn’t even


    remember you. You’ve lost the battle before it even started.” As Heather thought about Matthias’ threat,


    she decided to mention Myra. Does he really think that I’m a powerless woman who can’t fight back?


    Hearing that, Matthias pulled away from Heather, let go of his grip on her arms, strode toward the


    window, and looked out of the window. Good. Everything is going ording to n.


    Matthias closed the curtains and the room instantly went dark. Heather was softly massaging her wrists


    that had turned red from Matthias’ strong grip. It hurts. How much does he hate me? He doesn’t show


    any pity toward me at all.


    “If you like someone, you will wish that person happiness. You thought that I would steal Myra away


    from Tony,” Matthias said dismissively. That’s the difference between you and me. In Heather’s eyes, if


    you like someone, you should fight for him and steal him away. However, all I want is to protect the


    ones I love. Heather still doesn’t understand the true meaning of love.


    “Sooner orter, you will hurt Myra. What you are doing now will also hurt her feelings.” Heather red


    at Matthias coldly. I will not be easily moved by his statements no matter how noble they sound


    because his actions tell me otherwise.


    Matthias grabbed his clothes from the side of the bed and put them on one by one.


    I’ve done what I nned to do. It’s time to end this act. There is no need for me to continue pretending.


    “I will never hurt Myra. Sometimes, you shouldn’t believe in what you see,” Matthias muttered as he


    tugged on the cor of his shirt elegantly. Since when has this man be so noble?


    “Bullsh*t. If you didn’t interfere with Stark Group’s affairs, Myra would’ve taken over Stark Group long


    ago. What are your motives for helping Cameron?” Heather questioned Matthias. Why did Matthias go


    against Myra if he has feelings for her?


    “It was my fault for not handling it well. I’ll exin it to Myra,” Matthias said with a smile. His smile


    seemed mysterious, and Heather couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.


    “You can leave now.” Matthias nced at Heather and said. The show is over so there is no need to


    force her to stay. Furthermore, I’m in a hurry to head back to thepany for a board meeting. I don’t


    have time to waste on her.


    Upon hearing that, Heather looked at Matthias strangely. Matthias is acting weird. Before this, he did


    everything he could to stop me from leaving, but now, he is letting me go easily.


    Filled with doubt, Heather sized up Matthias vigntly. Matthias probably didn’t keep me here to have


    sex with me, and nothing happened between usst night. After all, I’m still a virgin, so I would know if


    we had sex.


    “Why are you looking at me like that? If you like my bedroom, you can stay here a little longer.”


    Matthias leaned over and raised Heather’s chin frivolously.


    “F*ck off!” Heather was enraged and furious at Matthias’ frivolous actions.


    “You’re a feisty one,” Matthias roared withughter and said. To him, provoking Heather was enjoyable.


    “Give me my clothes.” Heather looked at the torn-up pajamas she was wearing that were barely


    covering her body.


    However, Matthias didn’t reply to her. Instead, he went straight to the closet and opened it. When


    Heather saw that her clothes were hanging in the closet, she instantly ran over.


    “Don’t hang my clothes next to yours. It’s disgusting,” Heather said as she hurriedly pulled her clothes


    off the hanger. Her clothes smelled like Matthias’ clothes now. If she had other things to wear, she


    would’ve thrown away those clothes.


    Watching Heather’s childish reaction, Matthias couldn’t help but chuckle. Heather has gotten more


    childish since thest time I saw her. It’s a little adorable.


    “I have a board meetingter, and I will talk about Stark Group. If you’re interested, you’re wee to


    join me.” Matthias politely invited Heather with a mischievous glint in his eyes.


    Heather looked at him doubtfully, wondering if she should join him. Although she really wanted to


    attend the meeting, she had no rtionship with Matthias and was afraid that it would start rumors.


    “What’s the matter? Are you afraid?” Matthias asked provokingly with a contemptuous smile on his


    face.


    Heather snorted. He’s provoking me to lure me to attend the board meeting. Logically, I shouldn’t fall


    for his tricks because there is definitely something up his sleeves. However, I don’t want to be looked


    down upon… I’ll attend the meeting. After all, what do I have to lose?


    At that time, Heather didn’t give it much thought, but she came to regret itter. She never thought that


    Matthias would do something so deceptive. He did it even at the expense of himself.


    “Since you have invited me, I naturally ept your invitation. Director Locke, I hope you remember


    what you promised me yesterday.” Heather smiled softly at Matthias. She was slowly recovering to be


    herself again.


    “I hope you remember your promise to mest night too.” Matthias stared straight into Heather’s eyes


    as he spoke, trying to figure out what was in her mind.


    “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone that the reason you are in Bradfort City is to target the Hart Family,”


    Heather replied casually with a slightly threatening tone.


    “Watch your mouth.” Matthias red at her upsettingly. This woman refuses to suffer any loss.


    “Your goals are none of my business, but I hope that your feelings toward Myra are true. Tony is the


    person that Myra loves the most. If you do something to him…” Heather ended her sentence at the


    most important part and nced at Matthias meaningfully. In short, Myra will make your life a living hell.


    Since Matthias’ goal is the Hart Family, sooner orter, he will definitely do something hurtful toward


    Myra. When the timees, I will jump on the opportunity and make sure that Matthias never gets on


    Myra’s good side.


    Now that Matthias had provoked Heather, she would never let him go easily. Heather liked to attack her


    enemies at their weakest. Even though she was sitting in Matthias’ car, she was thinking about ways to


    deal with him, and she thought about working with Hart Group to deal with Locke Group.
