Chapter 708 "I know you're not trying to driveaway, Quinn." I cut her off. "I'll give Theo a call later and ask him not to blyou." After saying those words, the ride I hailed happened to arrive. I did not want to hear the rest of what Quinn had to say and opened the car door to get in.
I went to a budget hotel and planned to stay there for a night before looking for a house tomorrow.

I walked over and saw Matthew through the peephole.
I opened the room door and looked coldly at him. "You sent someone to follow me?" I was disgusted by him, so my tone was naturally grumpy.
He was unconcerned, and the smile on his face remained. "Looks like you accepted my words." After a pause, he continued, "Leave Theo. That will be the best decision you'll ever make." I pursed my lips. "Please leave if you have nothing else to say." Matthew let out a bitter chuckle. "I do." "Spit it, then." There was still no expression on my face.
He was still in a pretty good mood, asking, "Can I cin?" I hesitated for a few seconds before stepping aside.
If I did not let him in, he probably would not let this drop so easily.

"If this is all you want to talk about, then please leave immediately." After we bade farewell the other day, we were more or less not on good terms anymore. He looked atwith mild and indifferent eyes. "I'll be heartbroken if you're so cold to me." After a pause, he continued, "After we met in France, I returned hshortly after that. I still couldn't get you out of my mind. After going home, I learned that you and Theo had divorced and your whereabouts were unknown. Those who knew where you were refused to telland even hid your whereabouts from me. I had no choice but to find tto go to different cities to look for you. I searched for you for three whole years."
He recounted calmly, his words were not as cold anymore. Instead, they felt slightly warm. It was as though It he had gone back to his old self again. "I couldn't stop myself from missing you every single night. I kept wondering where you were and if you were okay."
If he had said these words tothree years ago, then I might still feel guilty about it and unsure how to NQ respond to his feelings. However, all I wanted to do now was to drive him away. The man in front ofhad changed. He had beca stranger to me. The Matthew I knew was already dead.
I took a deep breath and said, "Listen up, Matthew. I will only say this once. If you plan to useto partner up om with Grayson to bring Grant Corporation down, then all can say is that you've placed your bet wrongly. I didn't acknowledge them as my parents three years ago and will also not acknowledge them now. As for the Schumans, Tyler hates your guts and will never work with you. Pesteringwill not benefit you in any way. It'll only makehate you even more." Matthew fell silent for a very long tbefore walking up toand pulling up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing a long scar.
