NovelEnglishI was about to refute him when he interruptedagain.
"A project as large as the Bourdamun development landing in your hands, Chloe... Do you really believe it's not because of the Beringer family's influence? You're just lucky, that's all!" "Why do I have to ask you to help smooth things over? Isn't that a bit too much?" He gavethe impression that I was obligated to charge into battle for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI angrily cut him off. "Put away your petty mindset! I was able to be in charge of Bourdamun because of my capabilities.
"I worked hard to build my qualifications. It's also because of my sincerity and perseverance in collaborating with ATL Empire to further Tanum's reputation. It's based on my hands-on approach, good quality, and reputation. No shortcuts... I despise those vile methods." That was when I realized that Matthew hated this standing the most. It was unlike him, who cut corners and had an extremely poor reputation.
"That is enough!" He said, “Don't act all righteous. Could you honestly say you didn't use the Beringer family's influence? Could you easily bring down Martin from Bourdamun?" I was momentarily stunned.
I hadn't expected this guy to be so familiar with Bourdamun. I had underestimated him. It seemed there were many onlookers when I wanted to acquire it.
While working to secure Bourdamun, he was ostensibly paying attention to me, probably waiting forto make a scene. I hadn't thought I would succeed, which perhaps shocked many people.
They wanted to vent their frustration when they didn't see the they hoped for.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew clearly enjoyed getting it off his chest. Don't think I don't know. You could only get et Bourdan un by using Atlas's power and getting close to Arthur. And Arthur used you to get close to the Beringer family in pursuit of his own future. Did you even do anything?" "That's nonsense!" I retorted.
Matthew let out a snort. "It's obvious. Otherwise, how did Nelson fall? Do you think everyone is blind? Arthur used the power of the Beringer family to straighten up Nelson." I could not help but be surprised that I had stumbled upon this by chance. His talk of chain reactions wasn't entirely baseless. I just didn't want to admit it.
Matthew put on a bitter expression. "Chloe, helpjust this once. I promise I won't cto you again. Is that not enough? Just this once, as long as you helptake down Avalon Hills and that annoying Liora.
"I promise, from now on, I'll listen to you. Whatever you tellto do, I will gladly play the supporting role. Can't you agree, honey?" With a pitiful expression, he reached out to grab my wrist. I jerked my hand away abruptly.
"Matthew, get a grip! Even if I were still your wife, I wouldn't do something like this, especially not for someone like you. The Beringer family is my family, not a tool forto use. Don't even think about exploiting the Beringer family. It's out of the question!" I picked up my bag, adding, "Matthew, this is not the way to do business. You need to put your heart into it and not resort to shortcuts Look at where you are today. If even Liora can sweep you aside, you should consider why you ended up like this." "You have a share of the blfor where I am today, Chloe!" Matthew roared at me, his eyes gleaming.
