Chapter 204 Saving nca


    nca was lying on the bed, motionless, her eyes closed. Her face was pallid, her lips trembling. When


    she heard Matthew’s name, she did not dare open her eyes. She was afraid it was just a dream.


    nca felt the man atop her was gone. And soon, a coat was ced over her. She opened her eyes


    slowly, and saw Matthew standing in front of her, looking stern. She could see the anger in his ck


    eyes.


    “It’s the third time, nca!” Matthew said between gritted teeth.


    He had saved her three times since they were married. The first time, she was kidnapped by her ex-


    boyfriend Todd. The second time, she was taken away by rk, who pretended to be a cop. rk tried


    to rape her but he failed. Even so, the news was soon spread abroad. Today was the third time, he


    found her wife lying with his cousin on the same bed! Matthew had reached his limit.


    Matthew’s voice was quiet but reproachful. nca felt slightly hurt. “Sorry, but it’s not my fault,” she


    said. She looked at Matthew, her eyes full of sudden tears and looking miserable.


    She looked thin under Matthew’srge coat. Just watching her, all the anger in Matthew went out. He


    sighed and his eyes grew tender. She was right, it was not her fault. Except for Todd, both rk and


    Jim had something to do with the Grant family.


    Jim sat down on the ground, panting. He got beat up by Matthew. Bruises covered all his face, blood


    seeping from the wounds. Jim stared at the back of Matthew, with frightened eyes. While he found


    Matthew’s attention was on nca, he wanted to try to escape, but when he reached the door, Curtis


    stopped him. “Where do you want to go, Jim?” he sneered.


    Jim’s face went red. He looked round at Matthew. “What do you want me to do, Matthew? Enough is


    enough!” said Jim, his teeth gritted, his voice shaking with anger.


    Matthew gave him a look of deep disgust. He hated people like Jim, but usually, he didn’t intervene with


    Jim’s patterns. Jim gone too far this time. He didn’t know how much nca meant to Matthew.


    Matthew stepped up to Jim. Watching his serious face, Jim was too frightened to move. When Matthew


    lifted his hand, Jim put his head in his hands quickly. “Don’t hit me. Please, don’t hit me. I am your

    brother, Matthew!” Jim begged, in a terrified voice. But his words didn’t work. Next second, Matthew


    knocked him down in one punch and soon blood ran out of the corners of Jim’s mouth.


    “You don’t deserve to be a member of the Grant family! You have disgraced our family!” Matthew


    sneered. A slow cruel smile came over his face.


    “What are you going to do with him, Mr. Grant?” asked Curtis.


    Matthew regarded Jim coldly. A hint of a sneer yed about his lips. “Our branch in Africa is short of


    hands, send him there!”


    Jim was horrorstruck. “No, no, no! I’m not going. I’m not going so far away! Africa is not safe. Maybe I’ll


    die! Just for a woman, you -- you are so cruel to me!” Jim yelled, but Curtis dragged him out.
