Chapter 537 Why Did You Run Away?
Everyone turned to look at Wayne after hearing Maria’s words. Then Wayne asked Matthew, “What do
you think?”
Before Matthew could answer Wayne’s question, Anna said anxiously, “Wayne! Matthew can’t handle
this alone. You must go for him.”
“No, | can handle it by myself,” Matthew replied.
With a gloat, Wayne tapped Anna on the shoulder as she was about to say something else. Later,
Maria exited the room after confirming theunch date. Everyone else then left because Matthew had
work to do.
Then Anna and Wayne dined at the restaurant on the hotel’s top floor.
“Why did you leave Matthew to deal with this on his own? Matthew is still a child!” Anna asked Wayne,
who sat across from her.
Putting his knife away, Wayne said solemnly, “Matthew nned the entire Cliatin project on his own.
So, if | attend the press conference instead of him, the board will believe that the project has nothing to
do with him, whether it seeds or fails. In other words, despite Matthew’s efforts, the shareholders
would still doubt his ability.”
Hearing that, Anna started to sigh. She couldn’t help butin, “I told you earlier that you shouldn’t
have let Matthew run thepany by himself so early! He’s still a teenager! The shareholders certainly
won’t listen to him.”
“After you resigned, thepany’s stock price plummeted. Although the share price was then brought
back under control, it was still a knock to the head for Matthew’s career. He must be under a lot of
stress right now,” 536 Why Did You Run Away? Anna said while shaking her head.
Pouring Anna a cup of tea, Wayne gently said, “Matthew is not as fragile as you think, dear. Have some
faith in him. Look, I’ve brought you your favorite cherry pie.”
Wayne, you always believe that a man has to be sessful in his career, so you’re harsh on our son.
Thank goodness that Matthew is talented in business and he’s willing to follow your steps. Otherwise, it
will be torturing for him if you keep pushing him like this. Yet, you never expected much from Tammy.
Thinking of that, Anna began to worry about Tammy’s future once more, Jammy begged me to take her
to see Matthew before we left. Where is she now? Is she truly worried about Matthew? Or did she
simply want to have fun in a different city?

As she left the hotel with her favorite song ying through her headphones, Tammy was wearing a
ck down jacket. Sheter stopped a cab and told the driver, “Please take me to Cliatin University.”
Thirty minutester, before getting out of the car, Tammy handed the driver fifty dors and said, “Keep
the change.”
Tammy followed Google Maps to a convenience store. As soon as she pushed open the door, she
heard a soft voice, “Wee to our store.”
As Tammy looked up, she saw Isabe, who was lowering her head. Tammy instantly smiled,
eximing, “Wow! Isabe, you’ve changed so much!”
Isabe looked up, her eyes brightening when she saw Tammy. “Tammy! What are you doing here?”
“Chelsea, do you know each other?” After getting out of the storage room, Anthony asked, looking at
Tammy nkly, then at “Chelsea” beside him. 536 Why Did You Run Away? —)
Isabe removed her apron and handed it over to Anthony. She said, “This is my sister. | need to leave
for a while, Anthony. I’ll exin it to youter.”
Isabe and Tammy then went into a nearby small bar. “An orange juice, please,” Isabe said to the
bartender after ordering a drink.
“| want cocktails,” Tammy winked as she said.
Isabe turned to the bartender and said, “She’s still a minor. Just give her orange juice.” her eyes at
her and saying, “Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because your mom isn’t here.”
Tammy shook her head. “Says the one who ran away on your wedding day! You just vanished out of
the blue and even changed your name! That’s insane!”
Isabe frowned as she said, “Let’s drop the topic, okay? Are your brother still doing okay, by the way?”

“He’s fine. Matthew is a genius, so he can certainly fix this.”
“Where have your parents gone?”
“They’re still at the hotel. To be honest, | don’t think they’ll be much help. We’ll only be here for a few
days. So, do you want to meet them?”
“Of course not! You didn’t tell your parents | was here, did you?” Isabe said nervously.
“No! I’m not a bber like Natalie. | didn’t say anything to them.”
“That’s good,” Isabe said thoughtfully. She felt she couldn’t tell anyone, especially Anna, that she
was in Cliatin. Otherwise, Jasper would know it right away.
Later, the waiter served them drinks. Tammy sipped her orange juice while chewing on the straw. She
asked, “So, are you nning to stay here 536 Why Did You Run Away? sad forever?”
“| haven’t considered it yet, but I’ll stay here for a while. Did you bring everything | asked you to bring?”
Tammy pulled a stack of things from her coat pocket and handed them to her. “I had a friend make this
for me. You can buy airline tickets with this fake ID card. But why don’t you just use your own ID?”
“No, I’m not that dumb. Your parents will certainly find out where | am
if | use my ID.” Saying that, Isabe put that ID card into her pocket.
“So it’s really over between you and Uncle Jasper?” Tammy asked, nodding.
For a brief moment, Isabe frowned in silence. “Stop asking questions! | don’t want to talk about it.”
“Fine! I’m not even interested in that at all. Who is that guy in the convenience store, by the way? |
noticed him staring at Isabe as soon as | walked into the store. | bet that he must be crazy in love
with you!”
“No, he’s not! He’s myndlord. And he saved my life,” Isabe exined.
“It appears you have quite a story to tell about this adventure,” Tammy said thoughtfully.
“| didn’t invite you here to hear my stories, Tammy! Did you bring me any cash?”
“Of course! Why did you run away without any money? Here, this is my dad’s supplementary card,”
Tammy said, pulling a card from her pocket.
“No! | can’t use a credit card. Just give me some cash.”
“How am | going to get you cash right now? | don’t have it!” With a pout, Tammy said in dissatisfaction.
