Chapter 347
"If so, why don't we first calm Matthew down, and then leave?" I thought, looking at Reynaldo, my cracked lips parted, ready to speak.
Reynaldo snapped coldly, "You better think carefully before you speak! I only listen to the truth!"
My heart tightened. I stared at him, facing his dark, oppressive eyes, my lips moving, but unable to speak for a long time.
Matthew grew impatient: "Ms. Duffy, if you truly can't remember what happened last night, let me help you recall, shall I?"
"No need!" I said in a low voice, looking at Reynaldo. "Actually, it was all a misunderstanding. Last night, nothing happened between me and Mr. Galatea..."
"Oh, Ms. Duffy, did you say that wrong? If nothing happened, then how did the scratch on my neck come from?"
"Could it be that it was really scratched by a stray cat?" I hadn't finished speaking when Matthew chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm and threat.

I frowned, looking at him. He seemed determined to make me distort the facts to provoke Reynaldo.
Matthew smirked, saying, "Just tell Mr. Humphrey that I forced you last night, okay?"
Reynaldo stared at me heavily, his eyes cold and menacing.
I pursed my lips. "No."
"That's it."
Matthew shrugged and laughed at Reynaldo, "I told you before, I didn't force this woman at all. Everyone was a man, and it was a matter of men's joy and women's love. I think Mr. Humphrey still understands, right?"
Reynaldo ignored him, staring at me without blinking. His voice dropped low, "Tell me honestly, did he bully you?"
I clenched my fists tightly and said nothing.
Matthew lazily leaned back, a playful smile on his lips. "Ms. Duffy, Mr. Humphrey is asking you a question, why don't you answer him quickly."
I whispered, "No, Mr. Galatea did not bully me."
Reynaldo chuckled coldly, "So, it was really voluntary on your part? Voluntarily throwing yourself at him?"
"Yes." Just one word, but the exit was so difficult.

I didn't dare look at Reynaldo's face, but I heard his cold laughter.
"Esmeralda, is this really your truth?"
"Yes!" This time I answered decisively.
Anyway, with Matthew glaring like a tiger, surrounded by bodyguards, I just wanted to appease Matthew and leave.
I steeled myself and said to Reynaldo, "Mr. Galatea is powerful and wealthy, handsome and charming. It's my good fortune to be noticed by him, isn't it? And now I have no relationship with Mr. Humphrey, at most just your secretary. So, in the future, I hope Mr. Humphrey will not interfere in my personal affairs anymore."
Reynaldo clenched his hand on the table, the coldness and murderous intent accumulating.
I quickly looked at Matthew. "Mr. Galatea, are you satisfied with my answer?"
Matthew blew a smoke ring and chuckled softly, "Ms. Duffy is indeed a smart person."
"Excuse me, Mr. Galatea, can we leave now?"
"Of course!" Matthew released us decisively. He waved the bodyguard aside and smiled meaningfully. "Now that Mr. Humphrey has understood what happened last night and the misunderstandings have been cleared up, there is no need for us to continue making a fuss. Harmony brings wealth, after all."
"So, our cooperation..."
