Chapter 706
I pursed my lips and couldn’t come up with a place name. The sudden change happened so abruptly; I left Freybourne in a hurry without any plans for the future. I had lived in Freybourne for so long that I had grown accustomed to its life and couldn’t imagine adapting to another city. But I also knew clearly that this was Matthew’s territory, and I couldn’t stay here. And I also didn’t want to have anything to do with Anton again.
I said lightly, “Wherever I go has nothing to do with you. Please ask Mr. Palmer to send a driver to take us to the airport.”
Anton pursed his lips, his narrow eyes staring at me without blinking. The cold air outside crept in, and there was a hint of mist in his eyes, a delicate and handsome face full of injuries, looking somewhat pitiful.
I turned away, thinking to myself, “He and Kimberly really do look like siblings, with that pitiful expression on his face.”
Vonnie put on her fur coat and looked at me without saying a word.
Anton fell silent for a moment before speaking again, “I know that you had a disagreement with Matthew when you were here on a business trip with Reynaldo to Yoripero.”
“But if you are worried about running into Matthew, there is no need to worry.”
I looked at him with a sinking heart and asked, “Why do you say that?”
“After you returned from Yoripero, Reynaldo concentrated his financial and manpower resources specifically to deal with Matthew.” Matthew had been dominant in the Yoripero family for a long time, facing numerous enemies and constant internal conflicts within the Galatea family. Reynaldo took advantage of an opportunity and, together with other members of the Galatea family, brought down Matthew. Now, the Galatea family is not ruled by Matthew. Matthew had already left for abroad with money a month ago.
“So Yoripero is absolutely safe for you now, no one will trouble you.”
I was shocked. Matthew had quite a bit of influence, and Reynaldo actually said, “If we take him down, we take him down.” The key is, wasn’t he still cooperating with Matthew? If Matthew is taken down, what about the cooperation that was painstakingly negotiated before, and won’t all the ongoing projects be affected? Why did he suddenly want to deal with Matthew? Was it because Matthew almost bullied me that time?
It seemed that Anton could see what I was thinking, and he said, “Actually, Matthew has good abilities, with strategy and courage. He would be a great partner, but he shouldn’t have targeted you.”
Anton paused suddenly while speaking, then chuckled self-deprecatingly at me.
“To be honest, Reynaldo is quite strange. He likes to keep to himself no matter what he does.” Like when we were kids, I knew he liked you; the way he looked at you was different. “In front of you, he always has a cold face and even looks like he hates you. Do you think he is very contradictory?”
I took a deep breath and said softly, “Is there any point in saying these things now?”
Anton lowered his gaze and chuckled, but his smile was tinged with sadness.
“It doesn’t make sense. I just suddenly realized that, in terms of my feelings for you, I really don’t compare to him.”
“That’s right, at least he didn’t do what some people did, knowing full well that Ralda was innocent, yet still deliberately framing Ralda,” Vonnie couldn’t help but retort.
