Chapter 136: Did He Fall Into the Toilet And Got Stuck?


    In rich and powerful families, affection towards a member depended on the benefits they bring.


    Simrly, it wasn’t that he was afraid of affecting his daughter’s reputation, he was actually afraid of


    affecting the reputation of the Herbert family.


    “Look at the friendship between the two families; Maria was with you once. Please give her a chance to


    turn over a new leaf. After all…”


    Landon didn’t finish his sentence. After all Matthew had really ruined Maria for life.


    When he thought about Matthew’s relentless effort to force them to this point, Landon’s blood boiled


    with anger and he wanted to strangle Matthew right then.


    It wasn’t that he couldn’t, it was just that he didn’t have enough power to do so.


    It was only his children to me for trying to gain advantage but ending up harming themselves.


    At this age, he still had to bow down to Matthew, who was so much younger than him, and feel

    humiliated.


    Matthew’s face was nk, his expressions didn’t change at all as he closed his eyes. He muttered


    irresolutely to himself before slowly opening his eyes, “I don’t want to hear another word about this ever


    again.”


    “What are you talking about?”


    “Do I have a rtionship with your daughter?”


    Landon wanted to but he couldn’t refute it and said coldly, “I will never mention this again in the future.


    Don’t worry, I am a reasonable person. It is my own two children who didn’t live up to my expectations.


    I can’t me anyone else.”


    At this moment, the door of the reception room was knocked. Abbott pushed open the door and walked


    in. He leaned close to Matthew’s ear and said, “Armand and Terry are here.”


    Without looking at Landon, Matthew ordered Abbott, “Give him the original copy of the video.”


    After saying that, he got up and left.


    Landon was overjoyed that the matter was resolved.


    He hadn’t been able to sleep or eat well for thest few days and waspletely exhausted. The


    heavy burden on his heart was finally lifted.


    “Wait a minute.” Landon was clearly not like the people who used ttery to win, but he wasn’t also the


    tough unyielding kind. He expressed his dissatisfaction about the whole thing, “There was no bad blood


    between our families. Maria did wrong but you have done way more in retaliation. Now, things between


    us don’t look so good, who can say that our families will continue to be friends?”


    Matthew turned around slowly; his eyes showed no change of emotions. His indifferent and cold face


    looked gorgeous in all it’s seriousness; the chill he emanated from his body was enough to make


    people shiver.


    He chuckled lightly, “I’ll just wait and see!”


    After saying that, he continued to walk away.


    The air in the room was quiet for two seconds, and then Abbott ced the original copy of the video on


    the table and looked up at Landon, “You are sensible enough to know that the worldly affairs are


    always fickle. No one knows what might happen tomorrow, or how many cards are actually in your


    opponent’s hands.”


    Landon frowned, “What do you mean?”


    Abbott smiled, “I just think that your words were too incisive just now, Mr. Herbert.”


    “Did I say anything wrong?” Landon asked rhetorically.


    Wasn’t Matthew being aggressive first?


    “No.” Abbott did not continue to humor him, he gestured politely towards the door, “Let me show you to


    the way out.”


    Landon’s expressions looked dark as he stood up.


    Abbott pretended that he didn’t notice his anger, but in his heart, he thought it was not unreasonable


    that the Herbert family was going to fall soon. Landon’s two sons had no talent for doing business and


    even Landon himself wasn’t much better.


    In the president’s office, Armand leaned leisurely on Matthew’s desk, turning the globe on the desk


    around again and again, looking bored. He frowned and shouted at the door, “Where did Matthew go?


    Did he fall into the toilet and got stuck? Why is he making me wait so long…”


    Before he could finish his sentence, the door opened.


    His voice was so loud, Matthew must have heard it.


    He jumped off the table andughed resentfully, “I didn’t say anything. You… you didn’t hear anything


    bad about you, did you?”


    Matthew ignored him lightly, “Can’t you have a little dignity?”


    Armand touched his handsome face, “With my looks, who needs dignity?”


    Terry stood to the side, not daring to talk. Armand had really ruined his perception ofwyers. He had


    never seen such a silly and amusingwyer.


    Armand became serious and deliberately changed the topic to save himself from further humiliation,


    “As for the car ident, I have already written aint. When will it be filed?”


    Terry’s eyes widened as he waited for Matthew’s answer.


    This was what he had always wanted to do, and now he could finally ask for an exnation for his


    brother’s death and make sure that the person who killed his brother was punished.


    He felt his heart beat faster with excitement.


    Matthew sat down at the desk and said lightly, “No hurry.”


    Seeing Landon getting angry, he was thinking about making this matter into something to attack him


    Huh?


    “Why? It has been six years! The longer we wait, the more difficult it will be to present the case.


    Not to mention she also harmed Ms. Flores back then too.” Terry became anxious in an instant. Not in


    a hurry? What does he mean by that?


    Did he regret helping him?


    Armand and Matthew were buddies. Armand knew him enough to know that Matthew saying there was


    no hurry was not him saying he didn’t want to do it.


    He patted Terry on the back of his neck, “You can’t even hold in your anger! In court, anyone can


    irritate you with a few words. This is not good for you.”


    Terry shook him off, still looking angry, “I know! I just…”


    “I just don’t want to wait anymore.” Armand finished his sentence for him and patted him on the


    shoulderfortably, “Matthew is a man of his word. If he says he is not in a hurry, then it must not be


    the right time to expose it. You have waited for six years, can’t you wait for a few more days?”


    Terry was speechless. He had to admit that Armand was right!


    Being awyer, Armand’s words were quitepelling.


    “But, this matter…”


    “Do you not believe me?” Armand interrupted him.


    “No, it’s not like that.” Terry dropped his head low, looking dispirited.


    “Okay then, you go back first. I will let you know when to file the case.”


    Terry was not capable of doing it himself; he needed to rely on them.


    What could he do when the initiative was in their hands?


    Even if he didn’t want to wait anymore, he had no choice.


    Terry had no choice but to leave early.


    After Terry left, Armand winked flirtatiously at Matthew across the desk, “How did I do, Matthew?”


    Matthew didn’t even look at him, he just threw a file on the table, “Enough ying around. Go back and


    meet your grandma.”


    “Can you not talk a bit pleasantly?” Armand lost his calm when Matthew mentioned his grandma.


    He was about the same age as Matthew, but he had a more outgoing personality and had not still


    gotten married. His parents had passed away early and his grandma had raised him. She hoped he


    could get married soon and have children, but he didn’t want to get married and only wanted to y


    around.


    He had lost all enthusiasm for love and emotions.


    “You still have topensate for thest time you stood me up.” Armand took out his cellphone, “I will


    call Boyce and find a good ce and then we will go have a drink together. It has been a long time


    since west got together.”


    He dialed the number on his phone.


    “What’s up? Matthew is free today. Shall we go out?”


    Boyce was also a busy person. He was not from City B; he had stayed there after graduating from the


    university. To make a career in City B he had made a lot of efforts.


    “Oh! I am actually free today too. Tell me where you are. I wille right away.”


    Armand looked at the time, “Let’s eat first,e to Join & Share Manor. Their view and the food both


    are great.”


    “Okay, you arrange it.”


    Basically, for their meet-ups, Armand always found the ce and Matthew paid.


    There was no other way since Matthew was the richest.


    Late in the evening, Boyce drove to the WY Tower, looking for Armand and Matthew.


    Together, they drove three separate cars to Join & Share Manor.


    As Matthew parked the car in the parking lot and got off, he saw the car that he had given to Dolores


    parked besides his car.


    “Hey, Matthew, isn’t this your car? What is it doing here?”


    Armand also recognized the car at a nce.
