Chapter 145 A Scheming Jerk

Ava leaned into my arms, clutching me tightly. She looked at him, forgetting to continue

eating.

“Chlo, do not be so hostile to me! I never meant to hurt you. Isn’t it wonderful, the three of

us together?”

He shamelessly declared, “Have you noticed Ava’s change? She’s not as chatty as she

used to be.”

He looked as if he were questioning me, as if it were all my fault.

“Can’t you compromise for the sake of our child? ATL Empire has changed hands. Your

support is gone.

Do you still want to persist?” Triumph filled his eyes.

My heart churned. I clenched the small spoon in my hand and looked at him. “What then?”

Ava’s little hand tightened around mine. She was afraid that we’d start arguing. I let go of

“Let’s go back to how things were. You can live in the house, and I won’t take your money.

“Do you think a few suppliers can intimidate me?” I countered.

He didn’t deny it and just smiled. “Chlo, do you really think Atlas can back you up? You’re

too naive. He’s

just a little assistant. What can he possibly do? Yet you’re still hoping he’ll come back and

support you?”

Fear gripped my heart. I knew the odds were slim. “So what?”

“Be realistic! You’ve had your fun. I’ve been soft on you, haven’t I? I can tolerate whatever

“You’re shameless!” No word fitted him better.

Matthew stood up and pulled me into an embrace. “Our daughter hasn’t finished eating.

She only had a

spoonful of ice cream. Let me feed her some more!”

I clenched my fist and wished I could scream expletives at him. My eyes blazed like fire. In

However, I knew

there was a trace of scheming in that smile. It was this very smile that sent a chill down

my spine.
