The Woman From Hell
Chapter 389

Chapter 389

Matthew's dark eyes darkened. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line. "Wanda Lane, you're carrying so much burden on your shoulders yet you’re still thinking of helping others with their problems. D o you think you're Mother Mary who preaches compassion to all living beings?"

"You don't have to go that far. And..." I wanted to say h e had crossed the line but did not dare to say it out loud.

It would be better not to mess with drunkards. I grabbed his arm and said gently, "Alright, alright. I won't help her. You've had a lot to drink, and the lunch party is ending soon. Let’s go back to the hotel and get some rest."

Matthew stared at me for a long time, then he nodded his head slowly. I let out a sigh of relief.

Back in the private dining room, Matthew and I made up an excuse to leave earlier.

After we got out of the hotel, I was about to hail a taxi when Matthew tugged on me. "I don’t want to go back t o the hotel."

I let out a soft sigh, feeling slightly helpless. "Then where would you like to go if you don't want to go to

the hotel?" "Anywhere as long as it’s not the hotel." Now that he was drunk, he was acting like a little kid. How capricious!

The corner of my lips twitched as I removed my arm from his hand. "Then you should just go wherever you want to. I'm going back to the hotel."

"I'm drunk," Matthew spoke in an aggressive tone. "If you leave me alone, I might appear in the headlines tomorrow-the president of Zimmer Corporations dropped dead on the streets after getting drunk."

I...

He was a total fool after getting drunk!

I rolled my eyes at him. Then, I reached out and hailed a taxi. "The rest will come down soon. Stop thinking about where to go and just get in the car first."

Matthew did not reject this time. He obediently got into the taxi.

Matthew felt dizzy the moment the car engine started. He shut his eyes. I shot a glance at him and hurriedly told the driver the hotel's name in a soft voice.

I helped Matthew get out of the car when we reached the hotel's entrance.

He lifted his head and looked around. The expression on his face turned awful. "I'm not going in." "Can you just listen to me?" I knew that I should not stubbornly confront a drunkard head-on, so I could only patiently coax him. "You should get some sleep. I'll accompany you to wherever you want to go when you wake up tomorrow."

"No." Matthew wrapped his arms around my neck. " Bring me somewhere you frequented in the past."

I struggled to get his arms off me. "Matthew, stop it."

"I don’t want to." Matthew was completely like a capricious little kid now. He simply refused to listen.

I could not take it anymore and shouted angrily," Matthew!”

Right after I said that, his arms were no longer on my neck. I had no idea when Theo appeared but he had grabbed Matthew's collar and was pressing him to the ground.

Then, I heard a loud punch.

Matthew was drunk and could not fight back, so he could only receive the hits. Before I knew it, I

hurriedly pulled Theo away. "Stop hitting him. He'll die if you keep punching him."

Theo stopped and looked at me coldly. “You can’t bear to see him in pain?"

"Of course, she can't bear to see me like this," Matthew said as if he did not fear death, "She feels bad for me. You've beaten me up so badly, so how can she be able t o stand it?"
