Chapter 705 After a pause, I wanted to clear things up further so I continued, "Three years ago, we made it very clear that we'll remain friends forever. Theo andwill forever have our lives entangled. You deserve to live in happiness, but I'm not the one who can bring happiness to your life." He fell silent for a moment, and there was no disappointment on his face. His hostile face was calm as ever. "I'm not asking you to love me, I just need to know what I want." He leaned closer toand lowered his voice. "I regretted it. I should not have left with nothing that night three years ago." I froze and looked up at him with anger in my eyes." Were you the one who setup?" On New Year's Eve three years ago, I drove to the airport to pick Tyler up but was taken away by someone before I could reach my destination. Thankfully Salt City was the Grants' territory so this matter was suppressed. Otherwise, there was no telling what kind of consequences it could bring.
Later, as the person who tookaway that night could not be identified, Quinn was said to be the one who did it. Hence, she spent a year in jail as a punishment by Theo.

It was no wonder Quinn kept thinking of ways to separate Theo and 1.1 was pretty sure that she hated me.
He smiled slightly and a little grimly. "My initial plan was just to separate you and Theo forever, but little did I know, you grew even closer instead. What surprisedeven more was that your separation was caused by his own error." He cast his gaze on me. The man whom I had not met for so many years was no longer as close and affectionate now. What was left today when we met each other again was only unwillingness. "Since you're already separated, why didn't you just put an end to it?" I sighed. There was no way to eliminate his obsession. I merely looked up at the somewhat scorching hot sun and squinted my eyes. "Matthew, I just want to live my life." He was my savior, after all. I could not bring myself to say anything that was too harsh to hear.
He pursed his lips, not saying a word. After a very long time, he said, "I can give you the life you want but Theo can't." He was too obstinate and I could only sigh. "It's getting late. I need to go." I turned around. Keith walked up toand sighed in his heart, seemingly afraid that I would leave with Matthew.
My wrist was held back. Matthew said unwillingly, "I took photos of you that night three years ago. I also hold a lot of information that I can use against Grant Corporation. I don't mind forced love." This was a blatant threat! I froze and looked at him a little incredulously. "Why?" We had never done anything to hurt each other and there was no animosity between us, yet why had we reached this point? If it were not for him back then, I might have left with my child. He gavea new life and I was utterly grateful for that. I thought that we had becvery good friends. I thought he was the most important friend I could ever have in my life, but it turned out to just be my wishful thinking.
How did we get to this point?

This man madefeel scared. I broke free from his hand and looked at him with a face full of fear. Matthew did not say anything else and looked deeply a tbefore turning around and leaving.
When we got back to the villa, I sat blankly on the sofa, still in a dazel My mind was full of the words Matthew just said. Why would he do that? Was it simply because he loved me?
