Chapter 48 She Saved Chelsea


    Upon hearing that, Elizabeth was taken aback. I was just sleeping next to him. We weren’t


    sleeping together in that sense of the word!


    “Old Mrs. Hilton, we did nothingst night except for sleeping. I won’t ask for anything from


    you,” said Elizabeth.


    Now, she was afraid of even seeing Matthew. In no way did she want him to be responsible


    for her.


    She retracted her hands and added, “Old Mrs. Hilton, I need to go now. I still have three


    hungry kids waiting for me at home. They must be crying for me.”


    Feeling desperate to go home, Elizabeth was so nervous that she did not even know what she


    was saying anymore.


    I must leave before Matthew gets here. Otherwise, he would ask me to pay for another


    medical bill again. Furthermore, I slept on top of his arms the whole night. His arms must be dead


    by now. And what about his nosebleed? I can’t believe I just punched him! Ah! I better run for


    my life now before he asks for money again.


    With that in mind, Elizabeth sprinted away, leaving Chelsea in puzzlement.


    “She has kids? That’s too bad,” Chelsea mumbled as she watched Elizabeth leaving.


    Just then, Matthew came down the stairs. He was d casually in a dark grey sweater and


    trousers of the same color, and his hair, which was usually slicked back, was falling over his


    forehead.


    Compared to his usual stoic appearance, Matthew appeared to be more approachable and


    younger in that get-up.


    Chelsea saw him and asked, “Matt, is Lizzy married?”

    It’s wrong


    if I’d had helped Matthew sleep with a married womanst night.


    In truth, Matthew saw Elizabeth run away just now. He pursed his lips before putting his arm


    around Chelsea’s shoulder.


    Tare.


    “Grandma, she has three kids but no husband.”


    After hearing his words, Chelsea appeared to be baffled. “Is he dead?”


    A chill shed across Matthew’s eyes as he answered, “Maybe.”


    Chelsea nodded. “Do you really like her?”


    She knew Elizabeth was a kind and righteous woman and believed women like her were


    Matthew’s eyes darkened. “I don’t know.”


    He said that because he was not sure about his feelings toward Elizabeth yet. However, he


    simply felt an indescribable sense of familiarity between them and wanted badly to get close to


    her.


    Matthew walked Chelsea to the dining hall. As soon as they sat down, the housekeeper


    served the breakfast.


    Chelsea snuck a nce at Matthew during the meal. Judging from his countenance, she


    believed her grandson had fallen in love.


    Eating the oatmeal ponidge, she asked, “Matt, do you still remember when I asked you to


    acquire that investmentpany? Back then, I and a few friends of mine nearly fell for their


    scam. Thepany imed that the money we invested could help the poor children who lived


    around the mountains. We bought their words.”


    Matthew was curious about how Elizabeth met his grandmother.


    Therefore, he kept his ears open as he ate his breakfast.


    “Well, guess what happened next, Matt?”


    Matthew smirked. “I’ve looked into thatpany. It turns out that their registered capital was only one


    million, and their business was not legitimate either. Did they try to swindle you?”


    Chelsea smiled. “You’re right. They were a bunch of scammers. Lizzy happened to work for them and


    saw our group of olddies that day. She secretly told us not to invest our money in the scam and


    asked us to leave.”


    Hearing Chelsea’s story, Matthew could not help but smile. I knew it. That sounds like Elizabeth


    “So, you asked me to acquire thatpany just to protect her?” asked Matthew.


    Chelsea answered, “Of course. That girl was kind enough to save us. What a shame it would be if


    those people in that corruptpany bullied her.”
