Chapter 16: A gift from her lover makes him jealous
"Matthew, are you doubting me? Would I be a woman who randomly talks nonsense about others?" The beautiful eyes filled with tears once again.
She closed her sexy lips tightly, giving the impression that she was suffering from a lot of aggression.
A dangerous curve appeared at the corner of Matthew's mouth.
"You are my fiancée, how could I not trust you? About this matter, I will give you a satisfactory result. Let me take you to the kitchen, I believe that woman is in the kitchen right now."
Although there was a wheelchair beside her, Matthew still picked up Anne and walked in the direction of the kitchen. All along the way, the corners of Anne's mouth kept rising, her face beaming with happiness. "Lauren, why did you say those insulting words about Anne?"
He gently put Anne on a chair in the dining room, then he came to Lauren's side who was working. He questioned her sternly.
Lauren, who didn't know he was coming in, was startled by his sudden appearance, and the kitchen knife in her hand cut her finger at once. Blood instantly flowed on the counter.
She immediately put the bleeding finger in her mouth. Her bright eyes were filled with nothing but shock, an unconcealable surprise and panic.
"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't say anything to insult your fiancée."
"You're lying."
Anne slapped her hands heavily on the dining room table.
"Lauren, you said outside Matthew's room that I was a useless woman, that I was a wreck, that I was a woman who would never make Matthew happy in any way. Yes, I am a crippled woman, but that doesn't affect my love for Matthew! Do you know how much these taunts of yours make my heart ache?"
Anne's uninjured hand had been tightly covering her chest, her face was full of pain, and her already tender body was now even more pitiable.
"I didn't."
Lauren would never admit to something she hadn't done, but the look in Matthew's eyes still made her heart ache.
"No?" Matthew's voice was cold and low, exuding an air of charm and danger.
"Is this yours? If it's yours, why is it in Anne's hands? You're just a servant, how dare you insult my fiancée, it seems that I've been too kind to you."
"It's mine, give it back to me."
The thing in Matthew's hand, made Lauren blush, too disregard her injured hand and lunged towards Matthew's body in a panic, she wanted to take the earring in his hand.
Matthew suddenly pulled his hand back. Lauren's thin body fell straight to the floor, the back of her injured hand hitting the hard chair at once, the pain instantly spreading throughout her body. Lauren bit her lower lip and struggled to get up from the floor as she lunged in Matthew's direction once more. What he was holding was really too important to her, the only thing Adam had left her.
"I beg you, give it back to me. I can apologize to your woman for something I didn't do, I just beg you, give this back to me. Anything you want me to do. I'll do it all."
The physically weak Lauren knew she couldn't snatch it back from Matthew's hand, so she just kept praying to him.
"Who gave you this. Why do you take it so seriously?" He had seen this earring on Lauren's ear before, only Matthew didn't care much about it at the time.
Today Lauren's behavior made him suspicious. His intuition told him that this earring must be very important to Lauren. Could it be that her ex-boyfriend gave it to her? Thinking that there was this possibility, Matthew's whole body exuded an aura that made people afraid.
"Matthew, this earring is not given to her by her ex-boyfriend, right? A woman would only be this protective of something given to her by the man she loves."
Anne's calm words completely ignited the jealousy in Matthew's heart that he could not suppress.
Matthew walked up to Lauren and hooked her chin forcing her to meet his eyes.
Lauren was forced to meet Matthew's dangerous eyes, causing her to feel fear and unease. Still, she stubbornly lifted her head and forced her to meet Matthew's eyes. Not letting him see the fear and show of weakness in her eyes.
"Did Adam Ouyang give it to you?"
The words were practically squeezed out of Matthew's mouth. He didn't know why he was so angry when he thought of this possibility, he just wanted to destroy the earring with his own hands.
"It must be from an ex-boyfriend, I'm a woman, I know how women think too well, only something from the man they love, a woman will protect what he gave her regardless of whether she will be hurt." Anne's calm words made Matthew even more angry, and his anger made his right hand harder and harder.
The pain in her jaw made Lauren's pretty face, slightly distorted, but she still didn't give in, her pretty eyes, however, became moist from the pain.
"Say, did Adam Ouyang give it to you?"
The jealousy in his heart made Matthew lose his mind completely, and the strength in his hands became heavier and heavier. His deep eyes were darkened by anger.
"A slap, with the wind of the palm, hit Lauren's pale cheek hard.
The more silent Lauren was, the more exuberant Matthew's anger became, and although Lauren's face bore obvious slap marks, it did not elicit any pity from Matthew.
"I'll ask you once more. Did that bastard Adam Ouyang give it to you? Say it! You can suffer less torture and pain after you say it?"
Lauren's eyes were filled with hatred.
"It was given to me by Adam, you can't say that about him, he loves me, if I am with him, he can surely bring me happiness."
'Slap'
Another slap, hard on the other half of Lauren's face. Her weak body could not withstand Matthew's anger-filled torture.
Her body fell to the ground, her forehead hit the corner of the dining table, blood flowed down the corner of her eyebrows, her already pale face now turned even paler, so white that there was no trace of blood.
She was already weak, and now with the many injuries her body had suffered, Lauren felt her consciousness growing fuzzy.
The next moment, the weak her instantly lost all consciousness, the whole person completely into the darkness, she lost all consciousness.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
